Du Aimin is in his twenties this year, because he is the eldest son in the family, he has done a lot of work since he was a child, so he looks like a person in his thirties, thin and dark.

Because the family has a large population, he himself has two sons and a daughter to raise, and the Du family has not yet been separated, so this life is also tight, and the food that is divided is not enough for them to eat, let alone the children.

In addition to the lack of food, there is also a shortage of other things at home, and even a few years ago they almost starved to death.

Of course, this situation is not only in Du Aimin's family, in the Lizigou where they live, basically every family has a very difficult life, even if the most difficult years have passed, but for the villagers of Lizigou, it is rare to die if they want to eat half-full.

It is precisely because of this that it is very difficult for the men here in Lizigou to even marry a mother-in-law, and the village chief is forced to have no choice, so he simply took a few families to open up the wasteland in the depths of the back mountain, which solved the problem of almost starving to death.

In recent years, the days have been better, the harvest of the wasteland is not small, slowly, there are many people in Lizigou have done this, the production captain is also a blind eye, anyway, he should take it is not less, there are many people in the family, he is naturally happy to have someone to send food.

Today's Lizigou still insists that life is difficult, but in the end, because the big guy can eat his stomach, so his spirit is much better, and the food collected from the wasteland opened by each family belongs to them, so they are full of energy, and they have saved a lot of food over the years.

There is a surplus of grain every year, and if you can't finish eating, you want to exchange it for something useful, and some villagers inadvertently went to the black market and sold the grain several times, but they felt that the risk was too great, so they didn't continue, but secretly handed it over to a trustworthy person to sell on their behalf, just to collect some money.

Du Aimin's family is naturally like this, because of such means, their family's life is now much better, there is a surplus of food, and even family conflicts are a lot less, otherwise they are really in a dilemma when they are mixed in the calculations of those mothers-in-law.

When he saw Liu Xiaping and He Xiang, the two big girls, coming up, Du Aimin was shocked when he heard that they were going to buy grain, and waved his hand again and again, making a simple appearance, "What are you talking about, we won't do this kind of thing for speculation, go and go, don't say this, be careful of being caught, you two will be miserable." ”

Liu Xiaping was not in a hurry at all when she saw that Du Aimin was unwilling to sell her food, in fact, she also knew very well that if she was not a person who trusted her very much, how could the villagers of Lizigou hand over this kind of thing to a stranger like them?

So she immediately made a bitter look, "Big brother, the people in our family are about to starve to death, and we don't have food stamps, so we can only ask you if there is anyone here to sell food, you can do it, give us some, we won't let you give it in vain, can you exchange money for it?" ”

Saying that, she added, "And this kind of thing, God knows that you know and we know, as far as the three of us know, we will definitely not be arrested." ”

Du Aimin still shook his head and refused to let go, this kind of thing is not trivial, they also saw with their own eyes what happened to those people who were criticized before, although the captain of their team turned a blind eye to their wasteland, but there are many people in a ditch, not every household is good, and they have been hiding most of the people in the ditch, otherwise if they are reported, their fate will be even worse.

What's more, private trading is speculation, if he is caught, not only will he suffer, but even his family will be sat together, the extra grain on weekdays is pulled to the city by their Du family to sell quietly, and those people in the city don't know where they come from, and they will never go a second time when they sell a place, so as not to be caught.

If the two little girls in front of him were in the city and wanted to buy food, he could still sell it, but now that he has found his door, Du Aimin is of course very vigilant.

It has been a stalemate for two or three hours, Liu Xiaping and He Xiang saw that the sky was almost dark, she gritted her teeth and said, "Big brother, I won't hide it from you, we also heard from acquaintances that you have a lot of food in Lizigou, so we just came over to see if it can work, we really want to buy food, we will give the money, and we will never go out and talk nonsense, if you don't worry, then we ......."

Seeing that Du Aimin was very stubborn, Liu Xiaping was also helpless, but she was unwilling to run away in vain, so she faintly revealed that she knew about the wasteland, and sure enough, she saw the honest young man in front of her face flashing and panicked.

In this era, most people are still very simple, and they can't think of such a thing as killing people and killing people, even if it is a bold thing to open up wasteland in the mountains, but for farmers, it is only because they are really desperate to take the risk of doing it.

Seeing that Du Aimin had loosened up, Liu Xiaping was also afraid of provoking people, so she hurriedly swore and said, "Big brother, you believe us once, we will never say anything if we buy food, after all, speculation will also sit together, if we leak out, we will also suffer, do you think it's okay." ”

Du Aimin saw her sincerity, considering that the family had to be busy during this time, and if the mountains of grain in the house were not processed earlier, it would be a trouble to be discovered, so after thinking about it, he nodded and said, "You plan to have a lot of food?" ”

Liu Xiaping and He Xiang glanced at each other, both saw the surprise in each other's eyes, and hurriedly said, "Big brother, your family has a lot of food to sell to us, the more the better." ”

"Two corners and two pounds, about a thousand pounds, how many of you are?" Du Aimin didn't bother to go around in circles, and directly quoted the price.

Now the supply and marketing cooperatives in the city are three or eight pounds of grain per dime, and the basic price of the black market is from three to four corners, although Du Aimin's price is much more expensive than that of the supply and marketing cooperatives, but it is still quite cost-effective, Liu Xiaping pondered for a while, and still felt that it was quite profitable, so she nodded her colleague, "Then we want a thousand catties of grain, but there are only two of us sisters, can we take less every time?" ”

Du Aimin looked at the two of them in surprise, probably surprised that they wanted so much food, but he didn't say anything, just nodded directly.

Liu Xiaping hurriedly said that they would give as much money as they took, and Du Aimin also responded one by one.

At that moment, Liu Xiaping decided to follow Du Aimin's house to get food, but for the sake of safety, she also kept an eye on it, and asked Sister He Xiang to wait for her on the road outside Lizigou and the next village, if she didn't see her back for more than two hours, no matter what, she had to call the police.
