Let's not talk about whether the Yu family's rations are really eaten or what.

Alone, borrowed this amount.

Twenty catties, so many people in the Yu family, even if these rations are diluted when they go back, they may not be enough to drink for half a month.

The village waited until about the end of July to get some early-maturing grain, not too much.

Of course, it may also be that the Yu family is merciful, so they can borrow as much as they can from the Zhao family, and they can borrow from others when they turn around.

But according to the memory of the original owner, the family's rations have always been held by Grandma Yu.

The old lady has been calculating all her life, and her control of rations is very accurate.

Except for the unforeseen disaster year, the old lady would rather have old food left, than let the rations be insufficient, so that the family would stretch their necks and starve there.

So, not enough rations?

It's just an excuse.

Besides, the Yu family's rations are not enough, they can also borrow from the village, they can borrow from the mother's families of several daughters-in-law, there are many people who can borrow, how can they go to Qiu Qi, who has just been married, to borrow food?

Qiu Qi's heart turned, and then he almost understood.

Brother Yu came to the door, there are no more than two possibilities.

One is that the Yu family wants to come over to test and see what Qiu Qi's status is in the Zhao family, and then plan for the future.

If Qiu Qi can have the final say in Lao Zhao's house, then it will definitely be easier to go to the door to fight Qiu Feng in the future than other families.

And in this family, the old and the young are easy to bully.

Qiu Qi can really have the final say, even if they come to fight Qiu Feng, then the Zhao family, there is nothing they can do, right?

The other is this borrowed grain, which is actually Yu Laoer, that is, the original owner's father's own idea.

Or is it the original mother's idea, the purpose......

Naturally, it is for Yu Xiaojiao, who is studying in the city.

This is the treasure in their palms, they have to be pampered, they have to be noble, they can't eat enough, they can't eat badly, they can't be cold and hungry.

But the family can provide a female doll to study, and she also studied in junior high school, that is because Yu Xiaojiao has a good life, is favored, and has good luck.

It's just that there is certainly a limit to what can be produced.

Yu Lao'er's family has eaten a lot, so the other brothers must have opinions.

If you don't divide the family, you have one more bite and one less mouthful, and no brother may care.

But if you eat too much, who doesn't make a total in your heart?

Yu Xiaojiao was in junior high school, and there was a lot of trouble at home for a while, but in the end, Mrs. Yu knocked on the board and decided on this matter, and sold it...... Oh, even if you married the original owner, got money, and provided Yu Xiaojiao to study, the other brothers can be regarded as having no opinions.

Qiu Qi analyzed that Brother Yu came to borrow grain, which is nothing more than these two reasons.

Their brothers are willing to cut their wrists and hearts open to let Yu Xiaojiao suck blood, that's their business.

But here in Qiuqi?

Lying on yourself and sucking blood?

What do you want to do?

Knowing this matter, Mrs. Zhao would deal with it, and Qiu Qi was not in a hurry, leaning lazily to the side, while stroking her two little heads, while listening to the conversation in the room.

Mrs. Zhao does not have a good impression of the Yu family, and it is impossible to have a good face for this kind of person who comes to borrow food.

"The eldest brother of the Yu family, it's not that the eldest mother refuses to borrow, it's really the life of the eldest mother's family, and it's not easy, the orphans and widows in the eldest mother's family don't even have a strong laborer, and the rations are not enough to eat every day, if it weren't for the children in the family to be diligent and go up the mountain to dig some wild vegetable roots, I'm afraid they would have starved to death a long time ago, where is there still rations to borrow." Mrs. Zhao is a good hand, and she is also very good at selling miserably.

It's not good to turn your face directly, so it's miserable.

Borrow food?

No.

Of course, just say no, it hurts the face of your in-laws.

Therefore, Mrs. Zhao spoke directly with facts.

Our family is miserable, there is not even a man, the work is all dependent on two women, the children are still young and can't help, the rations earned are not enough to eat, if it weren't for the bark and grass roots on the mountain, I'm afraid I would have starved to death.

Mrs. Zhao has experienced a famine year, so she knows how sad the days were in the first famine.

At this time, it was miserable, and when I thought back to the events of the previous two years, my eyes turned red directly, and tears fell down with it.

The eldest baby and the second baby were very uneasy when they heard it, and moved around in Qiu Qi's arms.

In order to strengthen the effect of selling miserably, Qiu Qi whispered in the ears of the two children before letting the two of them in.

"Milk, don't cry, milk, I'll dig the roots to raise you." The eldest baby rushed in first, threw herself into Mrs. Zhao's arms and cried out.

When the second baby saw that the eldest brother was crying, she also cried out: "Milk, milk, I, I don't eat to support you." ”

When the second baby heard that the roots of the tree were dug up by the eldest brother, what should he do?

I thought about it for a long time and didn't come up with anything, and in the end I could only say that I wouldn't eat.

If he doesn't eat, won't he eat milk?

As soon as the two children cried, Mrs. Zhao's heart became more sour, and she thought more, and then the expression on her face became more genuine.

Brother Yu never thought that this would happen.

When I was at home, my mother and my little sister said that Mrs. Zhao might not want to borrow it, or whatever.

But you grind Qiuqi, that's your eldest sister, soft temperament, and no temper, you grind her, let her beg Mrs. Zhao, she will definitely be able to lend out food.

It's just that the situation in front of me is different from what my family expected.

Mrs. Zhao rejected him and didn't borrow food, but the attitude of the people was very soft, and she cried as soon as she came up, and Brother Yu was directly blinded by crying.

After a long time, Brother Yu said awkwardly: "Auntie, don't cry, don't cry, I won't borrow, I won't borrow." ”

Although it is said that for the sake of the little sister, the eldest brother Yu wants to charge.

But the cry of Mrs. Zhao's orphan and widow is easy to attract neighbors to watch.

Let other people watch him come to borrow food, go back to the village, and let the other aunts and aunts in the family know, it is another accident.

Brother Yu didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so at this time, he could only wave his hands awkwardly.

Mrs. Zhao remembered the sad thing, and she couldn't stop crying.

In the end, Brother Yu had no choice but to stand up, and then rushed to the courtyard to find Qiu Qi.

Mrs. Zhao didn't expect that Brother Yu would react like this, and she wanted to stop someone, but it was obviously too late.

When Qiu Qi listened to the footsteps, he had already gotten up.

Pretending to be drying clothes, he fiddled with the clothes on the clothes pole a few times, listened to the footsteps, and then looked back.

"Eldest sister, my aunt is crying too sadly, can you take a look and persuade her?" Brother Yu was so crying by Mrs. Zhao that he had a headache, so he could only ask Qiu Qi for help at this time.

When Qiu Qi heard this, he first shrank back, obviously panicking.

But when he thought of something, he pursed his lips and took a step forward.

And at this time, Brother Yu's not very flexible brain finally turned around.

Seeing Qiu Qi coming, he couldn't help but take two steps forward to stop people, and his voice was also a little lowered: "My little sister doesn't have enough rations at school, and she is hungry and thin, you look at decorating me with some food, preferably fine grain, don't let the eldest lady see it, I'll take it back." ”
