Chapter 1062: The Age of Famine Farming (6)

"Alas, you are still young, you don't know so much, the capital is far away! Our family doesn't have that much money, so there is no way to move to the capital!" Ruan said in a soft voice.

In July, Ruan and Qi Lang had to be persuaded to leave this small mountain village, at least at this time, at least there was some food to be brought down from the mountain, and everyone had some food at home, and everyone thought that after the spring rains, the crops in the fields would grow, and then life would be good. But everyone didn't expect that the spring rain of this year did not come for a long time, this year there was no harvest, and at the beginning of the second year, there was a locust plague, and there was a plague in the second half of the year.

"Then move to the city! Those people are too bad, Yue'er is afraid of them!" July also knew that it was impossible to persuade Qi Lang to enter the capital directly, so he took a step back and said.

Qi Lang frowned after saying this, if it was in previous years, Qi Lang would definitely not drag his family into the city to live, but now the situation is really not good, plus those people in the Qi family are making trouble, Qi Lang also moved some thoughts.

In the evening, Qi Lang and Ruan discussed all night, and finally they made a very bold decision, that is, to sell the house and enter the city.

In fact, a few days ago, one of Qi Lang's classmates introduced him to a job as a bookkeeper, but Qi Lang was not at ease to put the Ruan family and the three children at home, so he never agreed.

Qi Lang went to the chief the next day and announced that he was going to sell the house. Qi Lang's house is indeed very old, but there is a very deep well in his yard, which is nothing in normal times, but it is very useful to have such a well in times of drought.

The house was sold at a price that was not good or bad, and Mrs. Qi wanted to come to make a fuss and ask for silver, but she was beaten by July a few days ago, and she couldn't get off the kang these days, so she couldn't make trouble even if she had the heart to make trouble.

Qi Lang was also afraid that those people in the Qi family would make trouble, so after selling the house, he hurried into the city, and the family's salute was really pitiful, just a few burdens, and hiring an old donkey was enough to pull everything.

Qi Lang went directly to his classmate when he entered the city, this classmate's surname is Zhang, and he is also a showman, he has a very good relationship with Qi Lang, when the two went to bathe in the river when they were young, Zhang Xiucai almost drowned, but fortunately Qi Lang saved his life, and the relationship between the two has been good since then.

Zhang Xiucai was extremely enthusiastic about the defection of Qi Lang's family, not only quickly arranged the residence of Qi Lang's family, but also prepared meals to treat Qi Lang's family leniently.

The Qi family has not eaten enough for a long time, Qi Lang and Ruan can still be more reserved, but Qi Tianxing and Qi Zhengyang can't help it when they see the food, the two boys are growing up, and the temptation of these foods is too great for them.

Qi Tianxing and Qi Zhengyang devoured it, but Zhang Xiucai's daughter-in-law Zhang Wang frowned, her face became bad, she was not stingy, but there was really not much food in this house, and now that this big family has come, one or two meals are just enough, if you live for a long time, wouldn't you empty the food at home!

Ruan Shi also saw Zhang Wang's face, and suddenly became a little embarrassed, she was a good person, and it made her feel very uncomfortable to be under the fence like this, but there was really no way.

After a few people finished eating, Zhang Wang's also cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, Qi Lang and Zhang Xiucai chatted in the study, and Ruan's was arranging for Qi Lang's family to live in the hall to accompany Ruan's talk.

The two of them chatted about some things at first, and Zhang Wang's was not enthusiastic, and finally the two of them got down to business.

"But you don't know, there is little food in this countryside, and we are also scary that food is expensive, and yesterday I went to the rice shop to inquire about the price of corn, but it scared me, and if I continue like this, I am afraid that I will starve to death!" Although Zhang Wang's voice was gentle, it was cold, and the meaning of his words was also very clear, as soon as these words came out, Ruan's face immediately turned red.

"It's bothering you, but there is really no other way, I can only come here to join you, but it's really not good to let you break too much, this bit of silver is just waiting to fill some rice and grain money, the silver money is really a little little, don't dislike it, this kindness is in our hearts, and we will repay it in the future!" Ruan took out a piece of loose silver from his arms and pushed it to Zhang Wang, saying with an apologetic face.

This is already the majority of the money obtained from the sale of the house, and the silver is a lot of money, but in such a year, there is not much food to buy.

Zhang Wang's face softened a lot, she took the silver into her arms after a few polite words with Ruan, and when she talked to Ruan again, she also had a smile on her face.

Zhang Wang sat for a while and left, and after she left, Ruan seemed to have lost his strength all of a sudden, and sighed helplessly.

"Mother, that aunt of the Zhang family is really too snobbish, we did have a meal, but we don't need to give us that kind of face!" Qi Zhengyang was the teenager with the strongest self-esteem, and he was also annoyed by Zhang Wang's face, so he couldn't help but say to Ruan's after she left.

"That's it, my mother also gave her all the money from the sale of the house!" Qi Tianxing also said with a small mouth.

Ruan Shi was worried about what to do in the future, but when she listened to the words of the brothers, she was angry, she slapped the table and scolded, "Who taught you to say such bastard words? What do you know, our family suddenly came to borrow it, and it is natural for people to be unhappy, this food is now life, and it is a kindness for people to take it in, and the silver we give is not enough for our food expenses, you don't say such ungrateful words, otherwise be careful I tell your father, and I won't beat you when the time comes." ”

Hearing Ruan's anger, the two brothers immediately knelt down, don't look at Ruan's usual spoiling children, but it's also very scary to really get angry.

Ruan Shi was afraid that the two children would change their temperament, so they disciplined the two of them for a long time, and when they finally got angry, they found that July who had been sitting next to her obediently was gone.

At this time, July was in the kitchen of the Zhang family, and there was Zhang Wang's standing in front of her, and Zhang Wang's was staring at the dozen sacks next to the July Gang with a shocked face.
