PS: Thank you for the recommendation of the book friends looking for your Lianjun and terrychengjun, especially looking for your Lianjun, I am really favored by my book, I am flattered, thank you!

Zhiwen also hasn't been on the streets during the day for a long time.

Of course, he would still go out for a walk in the evening, knowing that there was still a change in the city.

Because the open area outside the county has been basically occupied by all kinds of shacks built by the crowd, standing on the city wall late at night to see out, it is no longer an empty field, but a dense black shadow, occasionally there will be a few fires dotted among them, that should be the fire that has not been extinguished.

In some open areas in the city, or at the gate of large households, there are some people gathered in twos and threes, huddled together to keep warm, mostly young men, who go into the city to find work, and do not want to spend more money to pay the entrance fee, so they can deal with it casually in the city, and the weather is not too cold.

On the street during the day, it was not as bad as Zhiwen imagined.

There are indeed fewer people wandering on the street than before, and the people who come out are in a hurry, mostly buying grain, and now the price of food is still high, and the purchase is limited, and the family can't eat for a few days after buying once, and after eating, they have to go to the street to buy food with fear.

The restaurant seemed to have no business, the shopkeeper's nest behind the counter was nowhere to be seen, and the young man estimated that there was only one left, squatting gloomily at the door.

From time to time, you can meet three or five men, with withered faces and dirty hair like a bird's nest, squatting or standing, and when they hear someone coming, they all hurriedly raise their heads, their cloudy eyes with a hint of flattery, and their stiff lips pull up hard, hoping that someone will hire them to work.

A few officials who met occasionally changed their usual arrogant and domineering, scolding and scolding, and patrolled tiredly and silently.

The neighbors also saw a few teams spontaneously formed, all of which were adult men with a few half-grown children, accompanying some aunts and aunts to buy food and salt.

The most lively is of course the grain store, there is still a long queue at the door, the price of the day's grain, written in black and white letters, eye-catching pasted at the door of the store, the people who buy the grain may be numb to the frequent price increases, only look up at the price of grain before entering the store, and then bow their heads and walk into the door to buy grain, and then there is no sound.

More than a month ago, I could still see a candy man on the street, but now there is no trace of it, and the whole street, except for the open grain store and the people who buy food, the rest of the place is empty, boring, and it didn't take long for the family to be interested.

"Dad, why don't we buy some food and go back?" Zhiwen Niang didn't want to go shopping anymore.

"No, I can get food when I go to work tomorrow, and now if you ask me to work, I will be paid half of the food first." Speaking of this, Zheng San's face still had an uncontrollable look on his face.

"Go home and eat, go home and eat." Nan Nan also felt that the street was not fun and shouted.

"Okay, go home." Zheng San hugged Nannan, and said as he walked home, "Hey, why do I think you are a little different." ”

"What's the difference? Ugly, or disgusted with our mother? Zhiwen Niang asked half-jokingly.

"What nonsense?" Zheng San replied, "I just think that you are different from before, and you are not the same as everyone else." ”

The family's voices faded away.

Let everyone be very excited to go shopping the night before, and it ended like this.

After that, in addition to cleaning up the house, Zhiwen Niang assured the brothers and sisters that the food standard would not be lowered, so she asked for the cooking to come back.

I can't help it, if I don't go out to do my work, and if I don't cook at home, it's too idle.

After lunch, I took a break and ran for training as usual, but Zhiwen Niang paid attention to it, and she no longer cheated and slid around, and ran very seriously with Nannan.

Maybe it's because I know that I'm going to flee, and now I sweat more, and I can suffer less when the time comes.

It's winter, and it's cold in the morning and evening.

The sun struggled, as if reluctantly, slowly peeking out of the horizon.

The shacks and open spaces outside the county town are thickly covered with a layer of frost, and from a distance, they are white and vast, as if it is snowing, but it is quite spectacular.

Zheng Si spewed white vapor in his nose, poked his head out of the shack, then shivered, and shrank back.

Not long after, with the old lady's loud curses, Zheng Si stumbled out of the shack and almost fell.

"One by two, every day in this nest, can this money and food grow by itself?" The old lady then followed, pointing at Zheng Si's nose and scolding.

Zheng Si lowered his head and was silent.

Zheng Er got up early and just came back from picking up some firewood from outside, when he bumped into this scene, he couldn't advance or retreat, so he could only stand in front of the door awkwardly.

"Alright, alright, all come in." The old man stretched out his hand from the shack and beckoned, "I'm not afraid of being laughed at." ”

A small pit was dug in the shack, a fire was burned, a shelf was built with branches around it, and a pot was hung, and the fifth sister was busy boiling water and preparing to cook paste.

"Your mother is right, this is not the way to sit and eat empty," said the old man, "you brothers, won't you go into the city to find some work?" How long will the grain obtained from the sale of the land be enough for such a large family? ”

"It costs five cents to enter the city." Zheng Da said sullenly on the side.

"That is, if you can't find a job, you won't be blind for five cents." Zheng Si hurriedly agreed.

"A few things that don't make it work, don't go out of the city if you can't find a job." The old lady scolded again.

"That's... Mother, you can share some food, so let's stay in the city for a few more days. Zheng Da muttered under his breath.

"What do you say??? If you can't earn money and food, don't try to take it from me. The old lady roared.

"Mother, so many people want to find some work, earn some food, there are so many jobs, it's really hard to find." The fifth sister said as she did something.

"In addition to farming, we can't do anything else, and it's not like the third child." Zheng Si said.

"Okay, okay, let's have breakfast first." As she spoke, the fifth sister had already cooked the paste, and went to the shack next to her, and called her sister-in-law and nephews and nieces to come over for breakfast.

"This third child, also a man without conscience, came out to see us once in such a long time," the old lady said, holding the bowl, "and showing that he was very busy." ”

"Mother, if you go out of the city and go back, you have to pay five cents, and it's not easy for the third child." Zheng Er said while eating.

"Or... Let's ask the third brother to help you find a job? Even if there is only one, I can make up for some food. The old man said.

"Ah, who's going to find the third child?" Zheng Er raised his head and asked.

"Just you and the fifth sister." The old man and the old lady actually said in unison.

"But I'm not going to do anything." Zheng Er whispered.

The old couple and Zheng San were embarrassed to tell the children below, Zheng Er was honest, although when he got married, his parents embezzled the money that Zheng San and his father left to Zheng San, but Zheng Er himself didn't know, and Zheng San didn't publicize it, this family, as far as the relationship between him and the fifth sister and Zheng San was good, the old couple made up their minds to let them communicate with Zheng San.

Ignoring Zheng Er, the old man continued: "Don't scare the third child, just go to him with the second and fifth sisters and ask him to help the second child find a job." ”

"If you can't do it, you won't learn." Only then did he scold Zheng Er.

"Take ten cents to the second and fifth sister," the old man said to the old lady again, "and one more person will give them a cake, and you two will enter the city after breakfast, the land temple knows?" No matter what happens today, you two will keep me until the third child and ask him to find a job for the second child. ”
