    After the villagers left, Qiao Fuhua and his son each picked more than a hundred kilograms of sweet potatoes, and together they hurriedly delivered the sweet potatoes to Qiao Mu's house.

    By the way, she also asked Qiao Mu where those sweet potato seedlings came from. Naturally, Qiao Mu couldn't tell the truth, so she went on to explain the reasons her daughter had given, and successfully deceived the old village chief.  He made it clear that he would allocate a special plot of land in the village to grow these sweet potatoes next year.

    Sweet potato cultivation does not require land selection, so even if sweet potatoes are planted in the village, it will not affect the planting area of ????rice. It will just use the land originally grown for corn and other grains to grow!

    So if the old village head said this, he will definitely do the same in the future. Even if it is a high-yielding crop, no farmer would be willing to plant it. I guess even if the village head doesn't mention it, everyone will secretly plant it at home.  Go up a little or two, so as not to suffer from hunger any longer.

    In the second half of the next year, everyone worked harder. Firstly, it was because the work point system had been implemented for them. Secondly, it was also because everyone was less empty in the stomach and had a little more strength, so they could work harder.  Farming and taking care of crops, some other surrounding villages that are still short of food are really powerless. Their stomachs are empty, so they just fill their stomachs with water. How can they have the strength to take care of crops?

    By mid-September, the captains of the major villages, including the villagers in the villages, could no longer bear it any longer. Many people there had starved to death, or had developed edema from starvation, and were not far away from death.  They were already dying anyway, so what was there to fear? Naturally, they dragged their hungry bodies to the commune to ask for relief food. If they didn¡¯t receive it, they would not leave. Although Qiao Mu and his village did not need relief food assistance for the time being, in order to avoid giving up  Others knew that their village still had some food, which would lead to some unknown accidents, so they still selected a few skinny people from the village to participate, so as not to stand out among the other villages.

    Of course relief is not available.

    The overall policy now is to make every effort to ensure food for the working class. Food should be transported to some factories and large cities first, and secondly to places where there was no harvest during the summer harvest. Although their harvest this summer is relatively low.  , but they still handed over grains to people of all ages, and it was impossible for the commune chiefs to say that they asked the farmers to hand over all the grains. So if you go to ask for relief now, wouldn't you be slapping yourself in the face and breaking the law?

    Therefore, after two days of people surrounding the commune, they were coaxed away by the commune staff. Specifically, they had already applied to the higher authorities. It is useless for you to surround here now. The relief food is still available.  If you haven¡¯t arrived yet, you might as well go back and find some food to fill your stomach or something.

    Of course, not all villagers can be coaxed back with these two or three sentences. In addition to coaxing, the commune also asked people from the police station to come and help drive them away. Everyone is still a little afraid of firearms, so in the big town  After most of the people retreated, the remaining people couldn't make it, so they could only go back holding their noses.

    Go back and continue to eat chlorella and food substitutes.

    But don¡¯t think that food substitutes are good things. Food substitutes, as the name suggests, are things used to replace food. What kind of things can be used to replace food?  Wheat bran, rice husks, corn stalks, sweet potato peels these all count.

    And, this is pretty good.

    Even worse, you may have to add bark or even wood into it and beat it into powder.

    Of course, what we are talking about here is relatively poor areas. In some relatively wealthy places, their food substitutes are better. They use fruits and vegetables to replace grains. This also shows the disparity between them. It can also be seen that there is no difference at all.  There is no so-called fairness. Even when egalitarianism is practiced, some people cannot afford to eat, while others can eat and drink. Big fish and meat are not bad at all.

    If people are selfish, there will be no fairness.

    After Qiao Mu learned about this situation through communication with the villagers, she still couldn't bear it. She secretly visited some surrounding villages at night and delivered 1,800 kilograms of sweet potatoes to each village. These days, she has not had any  Among other things grown in Penguin Farm, sweet potatoes have always been grown, so they can still afford it.

    However, Qiao Mu only delivered the sweet potatoes once. The day after delivering the sweet potatoes, she began to write a complaint letter again. Of course, it was said that it was a complaint, but in fact it was just a manuscript about their situation and submitted it to the People's Daily.  society.

    After all, she is just an ordinary citizen, and she has no ability to help people on their side get relief. She can only write about the situation here. I hope that if someone above sees it, they can pay attention to it, do a little research, and solve their predicament.  .

    But let¡¯s not talk about it yet, Qiao Mu¡¯s article is really useful.After all, their place is relatively remote, and the People's Daily is a newspaper that all officials must subscribe to. Officials in their city saw that the People's Daily described the situation in their subordinate counties, and it was still not good.  After the description, how can we not worry? Even if it is just an article written by someone I don¡¯t know, it has been published in the People¡¯s Daily, which means that it may have passed through the eyes of the people above. Therefore, several relevant persons in charge in the city  , immediately sent people down to investigate the situation and mobilize relief!

    No matter how harshly ordinary people scold some things, it is of no use. They just ignore it if they don¡¯t want to take care of it. But if there are changes from above, even if they are not explicitly stated, but just show a slight tendency, then the following will quickly get it done.  .

    this is the truth.

    It has to be said that Qiao Mu's power is still somewhat useful. At least it really solves the situation on their side. Although the amount of relief food allocated in the end is not particularly large, at least everyone can share some, so that everyone can  Everyone stayed full until the autumn harvest every day.

    This is enough.

    ???????????????????????? Otherwise, what else are you thinking about? At this time when the whole country is in a difficult time, do you still want to transfer food from other places to feed everyone here?  Impossible.

    ??????? Hunger is a common condition at this time.

    If it weren¡¯t for the establishment of canteens and big pot meals in the past two years, many people may have never had a full meal in their lives. For some people, it was really only during the big pot meal period that they had a full meal.

    It¡¯s a pity that the food production at that time was simply not enough to keep them full. What they called enough to eat was also their own future food.

    After the relief food came, the mood of ordinary people in the county became a little more stable. Qiao Mu also breathed a sigh of relief, glad that he did not work in vain.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
