Because there was suddenly an extra kind of food in the family, everyone in the Wu family was overjoyed.

In the evening, they all ate freshly baked stewed chestnuts.

The hairy chestnuts were boiled together with the meat with the belt, boiled to rotten, boiled into that kind of paste, and ate with some pickles,...... For the Wu family, who are not very picky eaters, it is really a supreme delicacy!

Because of these hairy chestnuts, when they sleep at night, they are more steady.

When some people sleep, the corners of their mouths will unconsciously show a slight smile.

And the Duan family, the Niu family, who live not far away, saw that the temperature outside was getting lower and lower. Before the cold winter came, all of them had no food and clothing.

In their hearts, they are in a panic every day. Some even turned white.

There was really no way, several members of the two families got up early in the morning today and invited each other to the Wu family.

They are also good now, the in-laws of the Wu family!

It's not too much for them to ask their relatives for help, right?

So, Duan Wenyan, Duan Yude, and his son, Duan Wenwen, and Duan Qingge, together with Niu Caigao, Niu Agui, and Niu Sanduo, the father and son, came again this morning.

As soon as the seven of them entered the door, they directly expressed their intentions before they had finished a sip of hot tea.

"My family, our family is really difficult now. It's almost impossible to get by. ”

"In a few days, the temperature outside dropped dramatically, and our family was either starved to death or froze to death. You can do it, help me......"

As soon as he heard them speak, Wu Hongsheng knew what they were going to do.

Isn't it just to borrow food?!

There are more than 200 people in the Duan family.

There are about seventy or eighty people in the Niu family.

If the two families really want to borrow grain from him, then what they want to borrow is definitely not the three melons and two dates.

According to Wu Hongsheng's understanding of them, he guessed in his heart that it was very likely that the two families would each want to borrow a few thousand catties of grain......

Either a few thousand catties of meat, or a few thousand catties of brown rice.

After all, after the heavy snow closed the mountain, it was impossible for any of them to get food......

Three months in winter, to say the least, 90 days.

There are 300 people in their Duan family, and if they want to survive, each of them must eat at least two taels of grain a day.

One person eats two taels a day, and three hundred people add up to 600 taels. Ten taels is 1 catty.

In other words, these two families consume at least 60 catties of food a day.

One day is 60 catties of grain, and 90 days is 5,400 catties of grain......

More than 5,000 catties of food, where can his Wu family afford it?

Even if these two families propose to borrow only 1,000 catties of grain, his Wu family has no way to be responsible? !

Thinking of this, Wu Hongsheng stopped Duan Wenyan's words in time.

"Brother Duan, let's drink tea first!"

"What's the matter, let's talk about it later......"

As soon as Duan Wenyan heard this, he was not happy at that time.

It's ...... too unkind, isn't it?

As the head of the Duan family, he is now about to die.

The colder the weather, the harder it is to find food.

If the weather is a little colder outside, then in the near future, the green grass in this meadow will be rarely seen.

Every time they don't have enough to eat and don't have warm clothes at home, they will choose to give up the elderly, children, and women in the family first.

Although Duan Wenyan is the patriarch of the family, he is also a very old man today. He did not dare to gamble on the conscience of the child.

He wants to live, he wants to live well.

He didn't want to be given up by others.

Duan Wenyan, who was very greedy for life and afraid of death, just wanted to keep himself alive, he didn't care about the cow sitting next to him, and the crazy hint in his eyes.

Don't tell him anything about slow things and good things. Now he just wants to solve the problem of lack of food and clothing.

So, Duan Wenyan suddenly spoke, "My family, it's this time, you can't die without saving." ”

"Our family head now, is really difficult. On such a cold day, all of us had to go out and find all kinds of food to eat. ”

"Don't you see that a few of our children are going to dig up the worms on the ground and eat them. There are also some men in our family, they are now catching voles everywhere, digging earthworms,......, woo woo, it's really not easy to live. I'm so old, half of my body is in the ground, and I have to see with my own eyes every day, these poor children. My heart is really painful! ”

As he spoke, Duan Wenyan looked sad and cried out in grief.

Seeing that his hair is gray, the wrinkles on his face are like the Loess Plateau, the hills and ravines, and there is a bitter gourd face at this time, crying is particularly pitiful. …… Wu Guifang, who was sitting on the side, was a little restless at this time.

She actually knows the situation in her own family.

Although there is room for her to lay the base.

However, there are now 50 people in their family, and the daily food consumption is really special.

They are already too busy to take care of themselves, where do they have extra energy to take care of others?

At most, they gave them a few catties of grain.

As for dozens of catties, hundreds of catties, or even thousands of catties of food, even if they are a big family, even if they work hard, they can't get it out!

Wu Guifang knows that in front of outsiders, he must give his man enough face.

Although she very much did not want to give them food, however, she would not talk too much at this time.

What kind of idea does Wu Hongsheng have, what kind of arrangement is it, he must have a spectrum in his heart.

As the head of the family, he thinks more comprehensively than him, so it should be no problem for him to solve this matter.

Just when Wu Guifang was thinking wildly, Wu Hongsheng suddenly spoke at this time.

"Old Duan, Old Niu, you should also know that although the men of our family have some skills and can hunt, our family members do not have the extra ability to feed your clansmen!"

"The clansmen of the two patriarchs add up to almost 300 people, right? These 300 people need to eat every day, right? Even if there are 300 of you who only consume 30 catties of grain every day, this whole cold winter will require 900 catties of grain! ”

"900 pounds of grain,...... If you want our Wu family to help, then we really can't do it! ”

Hearing that Wu Hongsheng was finally willing to pick things out at this time, Duan Wenyan's face at that time was very wrong.

Wu Hongsheng said that 900 catties of grain was too much, and they couldn't help with it......

At first, he thought that he would borrow 1,500 catties of grain from him on behalf of his family!

He always knew that the men of the Wu family were all good.

Don't think he's not asking anyone to follow them. In the past 10 days and half a month, he has called his son and carefully observed the family.

He had already discovered that the men of the Wu family, every time they went out, they would return with a full load!
