60s: I have a store

Chapter 239 Take it Home to Eat
Liang Huan led 40 people to the commune and followed the main force to build the canal. Among them, 20 people replaced the people from Zhoujiazhuang, so they reported the name of Zhoujiazhuang. Since they were doing heavy physical work, they had breakfast when they arrived.

However, since a large number of people were needed to build the canal, the amount of food allocated to each person was not much, that is, three steamed buns with two liang of flour per person, plus a bowl of porridge. Fortunately, the porridge was not very watery, otherwise they would not be full at all.

For the villagers of Shuangtian Village, where every household had little food, this could be considered quite abundant, as at least they could barely fill their stomachs.

One person said happily: "Luckily we were lucky to be drawn to come to this commune. Otherwise, if we went to Zhoujiazhuang, we would not even have enough to eat, and we might not even have breakfast."

"Yes! Liang Liu and Liang Zan were originally selected to come to the commune, so why did they give up their places and take the initiative to go to Zhoujiazhuang?" Liang Huan asked puzzledly.

And the village chief did not stop it, which meant there must be something hidden. However, for the villagers, as long as they could have enough food to eat, they didn't care what was hidden.

After half a day of hard work, it was finally time for dinner. Some people originally wanted to save a steamed bun to take back home for their families, but the labor intensity was a bit high. Halfway through the work, they started to feel hungry and had no choice but to eat the remaining one.

After arriving at the commune's canteen, Liang Jianguo couldn't help but ask, "The breakfast was so good, how about the lunch?"

"I can't wait too. Let's go quickly! Otherwise, if we go too late, we don't know how long we have to wait in line." Liang Huan said.

Everyone else thought it made sense and rushed over.

When they arrived at the cafeteria, there were already quite a few people queuing up, so they hurried over to line up as well.

After waiting for a few minutes, it was finally Liang Jianguo's turn to get lunch. Each person had five steamed buns and a dish for lunch, but there was not a single drop of oil on the dish.

However, Liang Huan and his friends were already very satisfied with this kind of food. After all, it was good to be full. However, it might be a bit difficult to pack up the food to take back.

After a day of hard work, the villagers of Shuangtian Village came to the happiest part, which was eating.

At this time, Liang Huang asked, "Captain, I don't know if I can take my dinner home if I don't eat it here?"

My wife and children were still hungry at home, and I only ate four buns at noon, leaving three buns. But when I was working, I was so hungry that I had to eat one bun in order not to affect my work. That left two buns, plus one for breakfast and seven buns for dinner, which made ten buns.

"Of course, whatever you like," said the captain.

Anyway, each person has a fixed amount of food for each meal. If you can’t finish it, you can take it back to your family.

Liang Huang took a lunch box and put all ten steamed buns made of 20 grams of flour into it.

In addition, the people in Zhoujiazhuang were not stingy and allowed him to take a portion of the food back home. However, everyone got about the same amount and they didn't complain about the uneven distribution, which caused the people working to complain.

Many people chose to do the same as Liang Huang and pack up the food to share with their families.

Fortunately, Shuangtian Village is not far from Zhoujiazhuang. It takes about half an hour to walk there. If you have a bicycle, it will take even longer, maybe just over ten minutes.

When Liang Huang rushed back home, he found his wife and children sharing a steamed bun.

After seeing this scene, I can only blame myself for being useless and not being able to even provide my wife and children with a full meal.

When Liang Huang's wife saw her husband coming back, she asked, "Boss, are you full? If not, I'll go make you two more steamed buns." In her opinion, even if Zhoujiazhuang asked people to help, the situation in every village was similar. How could they possibly have enough to eat?

Besides, it was heavy physical work, and if he didn't eat enough, it would be easy to have problems. After all, my husband was the mainstay of the family, and he couldn't have any problems. Even if I was a little hungry, I had to make sure he was well fed.

Liang Huang opened the lunch box and said, "Look what I brought back."

What catches the eye are large steamed buns made of two-grain flour, each as big as a fist, and a stir-fried dish. You can also see some lard residue and oil floating on top. It is quite tempting.

Liang Huang's wife couldn't believe it and said, "Boss, you didn't go without food all day just to bring it back, did you?"

"How is that possible? I eat a lot at every meal. These are the leftovers from every meal. I also brought them back from dinner and share them with you guys." Liang Huang explained.

Liang Huang also added, "Breakfast has five big steamed buns, lunch has a stir-fry and seven big steamed buns, and dinner is the same as lunch."

Liang Huang's wife was very shocked after hearing this. She didn't expect the food in Zhoujiazhuang to be so good. You know, in Shuangtian Village, this kind of food is basically only available during the Chinese New Year.

When Liang Huang's son saw the big steamed bun, he asked cautiously, "Dad, can I have one of these big steamed buns?"

I usually eat wowotou. I haven’t eaten steamed buns for a long time. I almost forgot what steamed buns taste like.
Liang Huang said: "One is not enough. There are ten steamed buns here. You must eat at least three."

When the little guy heard this, he was very happy. He could finally eat the big steamed bun. After getting his father's permission, he couldn't wait to eat it.

Liang Huang reminded, "Eat slowly, no one is going to snatch the food from you. At lunch, some people ate too fast and the food got stuck in their throats."

After hearing this, the little guy also slowed down his eating, taking a bite of steamed bun and a bite of vegetable, and he was so happy.

After seeing this scene, Liang Huang was so happy that he didn't know what it was.

Liang Huang's wife also picked up a steamed bun and started eating it, but she didn't pick up any vegetables to eat.

She doesn't do much work on a daily basis, so it's good for her to be full. Even if there is no oil or water, it's no problem. But it's not the same for her husband. He must have more oil and water.

Seeing that his wife was reluctant to eat, Liang Huang picked up a large portion of the food and put it into his wife's mouth.

"Eat, don't worry about me. If you don't believe me, go ask other people who come to work in Zhoujiazhuang."

There was no other way! Liang Huang's wife could only eat it, and the crunchy chewing sound of the lard residue echoed in the house. The family of three happily ate dinner.

This scene is not an isolated case in Shuangtian Village. After all, there are many people who go to Zhoujiazhuang to work, and almost everyone chooses to pack up and bring back home, unless there are no other family members at home.

Those family members who went to work in the commune were also full of expectations, wondering what delicious food they could bring back. If there was meat, that would be great.
