Chapter 703: Your Pain Is Everyone's Pain
Ji's father's cousin, that is, Ji Ran's cousin, personally experienced the great famine, when Ji Ran's cousin was a teenager, and when there was a famine, he had no food to eat every day, so he could only go to the woods to find fruits and wild vegetables to eat.
In the beginning, there were wild fruits and wild vegetables to eat, but later on, there were no more wild fruits and wild vegetables.
When there was no wild fruit, people began to eat the bark and dig up the roots.
Then even the grass was eaten.
Ji Ran's cousin was so hungry that he collapsed so badly that he was almost covered with bones, and he was so hungry that he bit his fingers.
Grandpa Cousin once half-jokingly said that when he saw that people wanted to eat, they were as hungry as wolves.
Ji Ran didn't know if what his cousin said was a joke, but after experiencing this incident, Ji Ran's cousin knew the importance of food.
After the famine, Ji Ran's grandfather opened a grain store, and has been in business until now, there is a large warehouse in the grain store, which has always been full of grain, according to the grandfather's eldest son, that is, Ji Ran's uncle, this is the old man was hungry and scared, for fear of encountering another famine year, so the food prepared.
Father Ji lived early, at the time of the Great Famine, he was not yet born, but he heard many experiences of the Great Famine from the older generation.
At that time, people cherished food very much, not like now, they couldn't eat clean when eating, when they ate rice, they had more left than they ate, and when they ate steamed buns, they ate half of them today, and the other half was thrown away tomorrow.
This was unimaginable in that era, in that era, every grain of rice was precious, so Dad Ji naturally knew the importance of food for the famine year.
Although Ji's father also told Ji Ran about the past, after all, it is two generations, when Ji Ran was born, the life of the common people has been very good, although Ji Ran's family conditions are not good, but, since he was a child, he has never been hungry.
Although I didn't eat well, I didn't have a hungry time.
Therefore, she felt that Dad Ji was making a bit of a fuss.
Even if there is a great famine, won't ± help the common people?
As for hiding the grain so early?
It's as if someone is coming to grab it.
Dad Ji shook his head, "You girl, you haven't experienced the great famine, in the year of the great famine, it is always the common people who are hungry, so many people are starving, and ± can't manage it, if there is no food at that time, you can hold on for two or three days, and after three or five days, you will have half a life left, and if you have no food, ask grandpa to sue grandma, and others will not give it to you."
In the past, there were people who fled to our village, and a big girl like you was replaced with a bucket of millet. ”
Dad Ji said with a smile, but Ji Ran felt that Dad was bragging.
"How much is a bucket of millet? Where can I change a big living person? Ji Ran didn't believe it.
"Don't believe it, on the back mountain, your little Aunt Zhang's mother-in-law is the one who fled here back then, if you don't believe it, you can ask your little Aunt Zhang." Father Ji pointed to the direction of the back mountain and said.
"What our dad said is true, I used to hear my dad say that my family also fled, at that time the family had no food to eat, and could only flee the famine, but at that time, there was famine everywhere, even if I went to other places, I couldn't get food, many people starved to death halfway, some people gave other people's homes in order to keep their children alive, and those who gave a bucket of millet were still conscience, and some didn't give anything, so they earned a child for nothing, these are true things." Liu Zhan wiped his hands, sat down next to Ji Ran and said.
Ji Ran listened to Liu Zhan's words, and was very shocked, there was actually a child for nothing?
"Then your family also sold children?" Ji Ran looked at Liu Zhan and asked.
"No, my dad wasn't born yet." Liu Zhan said with a smile.
"Then what you say is the same as the truth." Ji Ran rolled his eyes and said.
"Okay, the grain is in the cellar, you just know it in your own hearts, but don't say anything, this is our life-saving food." Father Ji told the whole family seriously.
"Got it." Ji Ran nodded and agreed.
After the famine, Ji Ran originally thought that it was not so serious, but the actual situation was far from being as simple as she thought, the disaster affected several provinces, and the number of victims reached millions.
This is a large force, and despite the efforts of ± everywhere, it is still not enough to meet the growing number of victims.
The food deficit has reached 10 million tons.
Although Ji Ran still has some points, it is not enough to exchange so much food for disaster relief?
Moreover, Liu Zhan resolutely did not allow Ji Ran to use the virtual reality exchange system anymore.
Because it is not easy for them to live a peaceful life now, and if they get into trouble because of the virtual reality exchange system, he will not be able to accept it anyway.
Liu Zhan can be regarded as a person who has experienced strong winds and waves, escaping death in the zombie pile, surviving in the wilderness on an uninhabited island, and fighting wits and courage with the soldiers of the island country on Crab Island, these things are enough to write a wonderful book.
Therefore, Liu Zhan doesn't want to ruin the happy life he finally got like this, he would rather bear the notoriety of being cold-blooded, inhumane, etc., than want his wife to encounter any danger again.
There is only one wife, and if there is no one, it will never be found again.
In his life, the person he loves most is Ji Ran, he loves her from birth to death, I hope that after a hundred years, the ashes of the two can be buried together, and they can be husband and wife again in the next life.
Ji Ran naturally knew that Liu Zhan was for her good, so she didn't argue with Liu Zhan and agreed to his request.
After the famine, the news broadcast was stopped for only a few days, but the disaster continued.
Fortunately± adopted a tolerant policy, so that many victims were able to pass through the various checkpoints smoothly, and along the way, there were relief meals provided by local ±, although they did not have enough to eat, but at least they were able to barely maintain their physical strength and not starve to death or starvation.
A few days later, one of the victims actually arrived in Shayu Village.
There were dozens of people in the first batch of victims, the number was not large, and they were very regular, knocking on doors from house to house, giving them anything to eat, and they left.
If you don't give it, they will sit at your door for a long time at most, and if you can't bear it, they will give them some, and they don't want much, often just a few buns.
However, when the second group of victims came, the situation changed somewhat, and the second group came with hundreds of people, and these victims were very domineering, asking from door to door, and their attitude was still very fierce, not so much asking for it, but robbing.
The local village officials were almost injured by them, and the villagers called the police.
When the police arrived, they couldn't do anything, saying that there was a document on it, and that they should not be too tough on the victims, and hoped that the villagers would understand their pain.
It's the first time Ji Ran heard such a thing, it's reasonable to grab something, is it because you have suffered that others want to suffer the same as you?
