This summer, there was a severe drought in the north, and there were no two rains in one summer, even urban children like Fu Lei could see that this year's farmers' harvest would definitely not be good.

However, most of the urban workers did not pay enough attention to this situation, and always thought that their rations were issued by the state, and since there was a drought in the north this year, it would be better to transport more emergency relief from the south. Na Cheng thinks that this drought is not unique to the north, and many places in the south have experienced disasters of varying degrees.

Coupled with some human factors, everyone is busy with activities, and the labor force is not working hard in the fields, so you can imagine how unsatisfactory the grain harvest is in autumn.

In the city, because they can go to the grain store every month to buy grain, the feeling is not so great, so that those farmers who face the loess with their backs to the sky look at the shriveled rice, and their eyes are blind from crying.

Fu Lei walked home with a sack on his back, and on the way, he would greet anyone he met with an aunt or someone he knew with a smile.

"Yo, Xiaofu, you came out to buy non-staple food at your house this month. ”

"Haha, no way, who let us be old men!"

"Xiaofu is a recognized good man in our family area, and he doesn't let his daughter-in-law do anything, and your Xiao Zhou is looking for you to fall into the nest of blessings. ”

"Auntie, you are really good at laughing, I have nothing to do, the child is still young, I always cry when I see the sky, I am impatient to watch the child at home, I would rather be tired. ”

"Hehe, no, the child was worried when he was young. ”

Fu Lei greeted the people he knew all the way, and walked all the way home with a smile.

Hmph, I thought he didn't know, I hummed a few obedient words to him in person, and I didn't necessarily bury him in the waist of my daughter-in-law's pants every day.

He has also heard the sour words of these old ladies, and he knows that they are all envious of their own family, because those old ladies want to tie men to their belts every day, and they don't do it, this is that they can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour.

"Are you back, have you bought it all?" Zhou Sining was cooking at home, and when he saw him enter the yard, he asked in a loud voice.

"Nothing else, half of the grain was given, saying that there was not so much grain this month. When Fu Lei arrived at the hall, he put down the sack and didn't tidy it up, went to see his daughter first, and made sure that she was still sleeping, and couldn't wake up for a while, and the quilt was surrounded by a circle along the kang, so he came out of the hall and worked with his daughter-in-law.

"This is really, it's been a few months, if Dabao can't get some food in private, our family won't have enough to eat. Zhou Sining stewed the vegetables in the pot and began to sort out the supply of grain that Fu Lei bought.

The two workers in the family supply nearly 80 catties of grain every month, but since September, they have not been able to buy enough grain at the grain store every month, and everyone knows that this year's drought is bad, the harvest is not good, and the state does not harvest enough grain, so the supply in the city is a little unable to keep up.

Originally, the family could still buy 80% of the grain in September, but now it is November, and it has only been two months, and this month only 60% of the supply has been bought.

If it weren't for the preparation of her family, ordinary people who can usually eat dry rice would now have to drink and smoke to support this day.

Fortunately, everyone is still very confident in the country and remains optimistic about this situation. I believe that as long as you hold on until next fall, everything will be fine.

"This is not bad, Lao Li of the grain store is familiar with me, specially left for me, and the average person will sell half of the amount, and he also secretly told me to let me save some food, I'm afraid that the supply will be less next month." Speaking of this, Fu Lei sighed unconsciously, he had a good life, but he didn't think that the food would be gone in a blink of an eye, he always had a bad feeling, as if there was a knife hanging over his head, and it didn't necessarily fall down at any time, which made his two months of life frightened.

Hearing Fu Lei say this, Zhou Sining was not surprised at all, she had seen this paragraph from the memory of the original owner, and it seemed that this side was better than the city where the original owner was located in the previous life, at least she could buy fifty percent of the grain now. In her memory, at this time in her previous life, the supply in the city was tighter than now, and she often heard that food was coming, and she had to queue up in the middle of the night, and just like that, she might not be able to buy food every time.

The two stepsons and stepdaughters raised by the original owner were still noisy at first not eating this or that, and in less than two months, there was no stinky problem, and their eyes lit green when they saw what they ate. It can be said that those years were the most bitter and impressive period of time in the original owner's life, that is, although she had not experienced it, she felt a lot just by reading that memory.

So at the beginning of the year, when Zhou Jiguo began to prepare for the past few years, she also made some preparations together, she didn't have much ability, so she did what she could.

The pigs raised in the backyard grew to more than 200 catties, and she teamed up with Fu Lei and Zhou Jiguo to slaughter them secretly at home, and then not a pound of pork was sold, so she smeared it with salty salt and made bacon. Now there are hundreds of catties of bacon in the attic upstairs, as well as dozens of catties of meat oil and meat floss.

Then there are the quails, from September, the quail eggs are no longer for sale, anyway, the weather is cold, and the quail eggs will not be bad if they are stored at home for a few months.

"By the way, when I came back today, someone asked me when my fat pig would be killed, and I guess I would be choking enough to raise it until the New Year. Fu Lei remembered that there was still something to worry about.

Everyone outside knows that his family feeds pigs, but their family is basically closed, and Zhou Sining is not a person who likes to mess around, and there are few people who come and go with Wen Jia later, so everyone doesn't know how many heads he fed.

However, I sold piglets last year, so outsiders know that I have an old sow at home. This year's year is not good, no one has to eat, and pigs can't afford to raise, so several people have asked him when to kill pigs, and there is no pork supply at the supply and marketing cooperatives this month, and everyone is greedy, so he is worried about his old sow.

Zhou Sining thought about it, the old sow was already old, and it was useless to keep it, even if it was fed to the New Year, it wouldn't grow a few catties, so he said: "Since they are so concerned, then we can kill it as soon as possible, and we can save some feed." ”

"Well, it's just a pity. Fu Lei felt that it was a sow that had made great contributions to his family, so he was a little reluctant to kill it like this.

"What's a pity, didn't you keep a gilt, raise it, and you can breed it in winter. Zhou Sining didn't care, she raised pigs and ate meat, but not children, so why didn't she care.

Fu Lei didn't want to go so far, thinking that he was going to eat fresh pork, he was also a little greedy.

"Hehe, that's a good feeling, I'll spread this thing out in the afternoon, and we'll kill pigs this weekend." "Anyway, sooner or later, you have to kill it, so let's do it as soon as possible.
