Since Gong Qingyang promised to marry Xu Siyu to Hu Dabao and set the date of marriage, Hu Dabao's honest face has always had his honest smile on his face, and in this time, although his relationship with Xu Siyu is a little shy on the surface, his feelings have also improved in this confusion.

Because he is going to get married in a few months, Hu Dabao goes out early and returns late every day, wanting to earn more money and make the two of them have a better time in the future, Gong Qingyang is very satisfied in his eyes.

Compared with Lin Qing and Liu Hao, the two of them live a much more comfortable life, they are together almost every day, and the relationship between the two is getting better and better.

But the good times did not last long, has been a peaceful life was finally broken, in early July, natural disasters descended locust plague, seeing that in more than a month the peasants' crops are about to be harvested, the sudden locust plague has led to no harvest of particles, not only that, the locusts swarmed all over the sky, and even the weeds on the ground were almost eaten clean!

The locust plague in Yanji has reached most of Shengtian, and some of them are close to the boundary in Lanzhou, and almost half of the food sources in the northern region are from Shengtian, and this sudden locust plague has not only caused the people to have no harvest, but also indirectly affected the grain that has to be handed over to the front line every year. Go without saying.

The food handed over to the front line is in short supply, the people's grain storage is not much, and the government has no choice, so it has to raise some rich staff to donate money and food, and this is also a drop in the bucket.

Because of the impact of the locust plague, the grain in the rice shop has also increased several times compared with usual, and this is still bought, and the local people with some food in stock can still save money, while those refugees who fled are miserable......

In just over a month, the rice on the villagers' table has also been replaced with porridge, and the vegetables are also home-soaked pickles, and the cabbage grown in the vegetable field has long been eaten by locusts, not to mention the others......

Dudu has also lost a lot of weight during this time, Xu Siyu can't help it, she has also lost a lot of weight, almost every day she eats porridge and pickles, and the little food stored at home is also Hu Dabao used to go to the dock to carry the goods, and the money he earned was bought and saved little by little.

At this time, almost no one in the small hospital came to see a doctor, and Gong Qingyang naturally had no income, yes, who would come to see a doctor if he couldn't afford to eat?

The only income of the family can only extend Hu Dabao's meager income of going out early and returning late every day, Gong Qingyang is also an old man in his seventies, his body has long been rickety, his hair is all gray, and he has no ability to work, and Xu Siyu is thin and small, a woman, but she can't do anything, she can only go to the mountains to find some wild vegetables and rely on Hu Dabao......

In addition, the life of the Lin Qing family is also so difficult.... And Liu Hao's family, not to mention, as a landlord's family, has long been extorted a large amount of grain by the government, and now they are in the same situation as drinking porridge....

……

Binh Duong Wharf, crowded with people, noisy, chaotic sounds endlessly, the sun is high, the weather is already hot, due to the crowd, it is even hotter.

"Dabao...... Thirsty? Drink your saliva......" On the side of the guardrail on the side of the dock, Xu Siyu looked at Hu Dabao, who was sweating profusely in front of him, still panting, and his face was full of sweat, pursed his lips and handed him the kettle......

Xu Siyu's eyes unconsciously burst into tears, if it weren't for Hu Dabao's hard work like this, they wouldn't even be able to afford porridge......

"Sort of." Hu Dabao wiped the sweat on his face, said with a smile on his honest face, and then took the kettle handed over by Xu Siyu's white hand, tilted his head and began to drink it in a big gulp......

Pursing his lips, Xu Siyu looked at the strong man Hu Dabao with his head up and drinking water hungrily, looking at the face full of sweat, and the tears in his eyes became thicker...... She hurriedly fanned the wind for him with some wide sleeves... Maybe that will cool him down......

Feeling the breeze blowing on his face, Hu Dabao felt very cool, after drinking a few sips of water, he put down the kettle he was holding, looked at the girl in front of him who was fanning the wind for himself with his sleeve, and smiled a little embarrassedly on his honest face: "Thank you, Siyu." ”

"It's my ...... who should say thank you," Xu Siyu said with deep meaning, the tears in his eyes were much thicker, facing this sweaty and honest young man, he was the one who was going to become his husband soon, and now he was not his husband, but he was carrying out the responsibility of a husband and supporting the family with hard work......

Stopping the action of fanning the wind with his sleeves, Xu Siyu took out a white handkerchief from his arms, pursed his mouth, raised his slender hand and began to carefully wipe the sweat on Hu Dabao's face. This handkerchief is the one that the little jade girl dropped when she was leaving in Chenjiazhen.

"Dabao...... You have worked hard......" Gently wiping the sweat on Hu Dabao's face, Xu Siyu said in a dripping voice. The tears in his eyes, due to too much, eventually seeped out of his sockets and slowly spread over his delicate and fair cheeks......

"It's not hard, I'm used to it." Hu Dabao smiled honestly. Although he is used to carrying things with great strength, it is fake that he is not hard, and every time he goes back, he is a little sore, but he endures it and smiles honestly all the time......

Looking at the girl who was wiping her sweat for herself, Hu Dabao was a little overwhelmed, he just noticed the tears in the girl's eyes, a little embarrassed, but he didn't say it, he wanted to raise his rough big hand and wipe away the tears on her delicate face, but he was afraid that his rough hand would hurt the delicate skin on the little face... I had to happily withdraw my hand, and lied with a sincere smile: "Siyu doesn't cry, I'm really not tired, I have a lot of strength!" ”

Xu Siyu pursed her mouth, and her tears couldn't stop flowing out again, she really wanted to lie to people, how could someone carry such a big load on her shoulders and not be tired? ... Although he thought so in his heart, Xu Siyu didn't say it, but carefully continued to help him wipe his sweat.

Looking from afar, I saw a burly young man leaning against the guardrail, and a girl in a gray and white dress in front of him stood on tiptoe and carefully wiped the sweat on his face for him......

"Okay Siyu, I'm going to go back to work, you can go home quickly." Hu Dabao thought about it for a while, but gently wiped the tears flowing out of the girl in front of him with the back of his hand, and smiled honestly.

"Well......" pursed his mouth, Xu Siyu responded softly, looking at the back of the young man leaving with some affection, a pair of small hands tightly held the handkerchief that he had just wiped for the young man, and stared for a long time before slowly leaving......

Hu Dabao's job is the only income in their family now, and this only meager income was cut off not long after... Because many refugees who fled had no food, they all came to the wharf to work and eat a lot of food, because of the large number of people, from the salary, to only eat steamed buns, to the later, not to eat, only a few steamed buns a day......

And, despite this, there are many people who come here to do this in order to survive and survive......

Although Gong Qingyang's family's only income is broken, fortunately, there is still some saved rice, which can last for a period of time if you save money.... And this is only a stopgap measure, and it is not clear what to do after that.....

In order to reduce the burden on the family, Hu Dabao can only do the work of only a few steamed buns that day, although he has a lot of strength, but he eats a lot, and only a few steamed buns can only be used at the bottom, but he also occasionally endures hunger, leaving one or two steamed buns to bring back to Gong Qingyang and Xu Siyu to eat......
