After the storm stopped, Wu Hongsheng hurriedly cleaned up the pigsty and chicken pen at home.

The Wu family raised a total of about 20 chickens.

19 hens, 1 rooster.

A few months ago, they were pheasants living freely in the mountains. But after clipping their wings and raising them at home for so long, one by one, they have adapted to the life of captivity.

Because in this place, they don't have to worry about food or clothing, they don't have to worry about natural predators, and they don't have to blow the wind and cold.

Every child in the family, when they get up in the morning, the first thing they do is dig earthworms in the yard.

After the earthworms are cooked, they are mixed with some green vegetable leaves, and the chickens eat them with relish.

When they are in the mountains, they can grow to about 7 catties at most. But since they were kept in captivity, they have all gained weight one by one.

Every time I see them raised very stocky, Wu Guifang is still very happy in her heart.

As for those two pigs, they are actually quite easy to raise. Because those two pigs are really not picky eaters.

……

Today, all day long, everyone in the Wu family was busy.

There is no day of rest for everyone.

Because all the men of the Wu family took action. Continue to fortify the house.

Seeing that they were busy, the women were also in the courtyard, set up a cauldron, and began to cook their meals for the whole day.

The potatoes to be eaten today alone are almost 100 catties.

I can't help it.

There are too many people in the Wu family now. There are 50 or so people, and at the end of the day, they all spend special food.

Although the Wu family was previously separated.

However, when the big guys did big things together, they didn't share the stove and ate it separately.

While they were busy, they heard a knock on the door outside the courtyard.

"Who?"

Wu Hongsheng gave his eldest son a look.

Wu Dahu quietly touched and walked to the gate of the courtyard.

The person outside probably also felt that he came abruptly, and after he hesitated for a while, he replied with a weak heart.

"Brother Wu,...... Wu is in charge, it's me. I'm Wang Agui, who has just moved to the ravine over there. Do you remember? ”

Hearing that the other party said that his name was Wang Agui, Wu Hongsheng, who was constantly stirring the sediment, was stunned for a moment.

"Who is this Wang Agui?"

After he casually asked such a question, his youngest son Wu Sanhu couldn't help but answer.

"Dad, who else could it be?"

"Isn't that the old man surnamed Wang and his son? Even last time, they borrowed food from our family twice? ”

"Didn't there be such a storm before? I guess the houses they built were blown down. When he came over today, he must have asked us for help, or he was looking for us to borrow food......"

Hearing this, Wu Hongsheng groaned for a while, and then asked Wu Dahu to open the door for the people outside the courtyard.

Wang Agui, who was outside the door, saw the door open. He resisted the excitement in his heart and walked in slowly.

"Brother Wu, is your family okay?"

Wu Dahu listened, and replied expressionlessly, "What can it be?" ”

"Such a big storm, why didn't our family lose?"

“……”

When Wang Agui heard this, he felt extremely embarrassed, and he didn't know what he should be resting now.

After all, he was really embarrassed to speak at this moment.

People have helped their family, and there have been many, many more.

Even if he is free this time, he may not be able to let the Wu family dig out food!

He didn't know how precious food was.

In this year, the food in the hands of the big guys is life-saving food.

Their Wang family and the Wu family are not related by marriage, and they have no personal contacts before. The last time they were able to reach out three times, it had already helped them a lot.

Thinking of this, Wang Agui felt ashamed in his heart. However, he only had to think that if he returned empty-handed like this, wouldn't his father, his wife and daughters, and those brothers be starved to death again?

As soon as he thought of this, Wang Agui said with a flattering face.

"Brother Wu,...... This time, our family is really in a big disaster......"

"Woo woo woo ......"

I couldn't help the sadness in my heart, and after he said this, he immediately burst into tears.

Seeing Wang Agui crying like a child, not caring about his face at all, the faces of all the people present suddenly had different expressions.

In this day and age, food is really too precious.

Moreover, because of technical capabilities and production capacity, it is impossible for grain crops of this age to be as productive as they are now.

Modern super hybrid rice can produce almost 1,800 catties per mu.

Some particularly good super hybrid rice yields up to 3,000 catties per mu.

Such data, for the ancient people, it is really impossible.

The vast majority of the female farmers here only know that they can produce only 200 catties of wheat in a year after carefully serving the fields for a year.

The rice produced depends on how many seasons can be planted in a year?

Anyway, for the ancient northern peasants, they could only barely make ends meet all year round.

I can only barely eat and clothe things, if I have to borrow it, and every time I borrow it, I borrow a few hundred catties of food, it is quite incredible.

Therefore, when Wang Agui plucked up the courage and proposed to them to borrow 500 catties of grain, Wu Hongsheng, the head of the Wu family, refused directly without thinking about it.

"Ah Gui, we are all farmers who are digging in the field, and you should know best how many outputs you can have in this field a year."

"If you borrow this one, you will borrow 500 catties of grain,...... How can our family get it out? ”

"Do you see the pot in my yard?"

Without waiting for Wang Agui to answer, Wu Hongsheng said it directly.

"The contents of that pot are three days' worth of food for our family!"

"Do you know how we eat in normal times?"

Without waiting for Wang Agui to answer, Wu Hongsheng began to talk to himself again.

"Our family eats with men first. When there was only half of the pot left, we added water to it. Therefore, the more we eat the soup in the back, the thinner it becomes. ”

As soon as Wang Agui heard this, he immediately understood. It is very likely that the other party does not want to borrow food.

So, he said with a bitter face, "Uncle Wu, you can do it, help us this time." ”

"As long as they survive this time, we will definitely double the amount when the time comes......"

Wu Hongsheng listened, and shook his head lightly.

"Housheng, it's not that I don't want to help. It's really because our family was also badly affected this time, and it was too difficult. ”

"However, they are all villagers, and we can't see death without saving ......"
