Chapter 160: Don't Be Greedy!
The villagers all hurriedly responded, "Yes, if you don't give them food, you will be honest after a few hungry meals!" ”
"In order to survive, everyone is like a tired dog, and they don't dare to eat enough, for fear that there will be not enough food. It's good that they can't help, and they know they're in trouble. ”
Even the most soft-hearted old people and women didn't help to intercede, a few Taoxiao had no hope at all, and then looked at the miserable appearance of the family and the good news, they all shrank their heads honestly...
The children made such a fuss, and the adults didn't have the heart to work, so it was rare to finish work early, eat and sleep.
Although Jia Yin is an adult soul, she lives in a small body, and her soul is much more fragile.
The despair of being surrounded by fire and helpless during the day made her have nightmares at night.
In the end, Tao Hongying put her daughter on her belly and hugged her all night.
Listening to his mother's powerful heartbeat and the soft humming lullaby, Jia Yin finally slept peacefully.
But Jia An Jiaxi was in pain because of a leg injury.
Zhao Yuru and Jia Huan also stayed with them for the night, because they couldn't use cold water because they were smeared with ointment.
The mother and son used a fan to fan the wind gently, trying to make the two boys more comfortable.
At dawn, one of the Li family counted one, and they all had dark circles under their eyes...
The village chief came to visit under the morning fog, and when he saw the Li family, he said, "Your family should rest for a day, and the left and right sides are also digging pits and planting trees, and there is no big work." ”
The two brothers refused to eat, and insisted on following everyone up the mountain.
Tao Hongying was going to clean up the river beach with the women today, and the selection of the yards of each family was there, so she picked them up early, and then quickly planted vegetables, so that she didn't have to worry about cooking every time.
But at this moment, she didn't worry about her daughter, and she was worried about her son, and she really wanted to break it in half.
Mrs. Li coaxed her granddaughter to eat half a bowl of white porridge, and when she saw that her granddaughter was still wilted, she said, "Hongying caught up with the mule cart and went with me to the nearby village to have a look." Come back with some vegetables, it's best to buy another hen and cook some chicken soup for Fu Niu to make up for it. ”
Tao Hongying immediately responded and went to set up a mule cart.
Dongmei blamed herself for not following Jiayin last night, which frightened her, and she had to help catch the car at this time.
Mrs. Li looked at her granddaughter's big eyes, guessed a little bit of her plan, and said, "Don't worry about Dongmei, let's go around the village in front of us." Don't follow, just stay at home and give Yuru a hand. ”
Dongmei subconsciously looked at Jiayin, and when she saw Jiayin nodding, she retreated.
Soon, the mule cart was set.
The village chief shouted, "Hongying, bring more japonica rice, what do you want to exchange." ”
Mrs. Li refused to ask for it, "No need, brother, I'll take the silver, just go around the neighborhood and buy a chicken for the children to replenish their bodies." ”
The Li family wants to eat a small stove, and it is really difficult to get the food from the public school, so the village chief did not insist anymore.
Nowadays, everyone eats together, there are more people and less food, and the food is certainly not much better.
Occasionally, when a child is hungry or an old man is born, each family will open a small stove, and the fine grain that each family has saved before.
The Li family has subsidies from Mrs. Cui and Ye Gongzi, Mrs. Li and Jiayin, and even Uncle Zhao's several sick numbers are all wiped out.
Everyone is not jealous, because every time Mrs. Cui, Mr. Wen and Mr. Ye Gongzi come, the Li family will entertain them with food.
Everyone has a shot in their hearts, everything is clear, but no one cares, this is the trust and affection of working together to survive.
Jiayin sat in her grandmother's arms, listening to her grandmother and her mother, but her mind was crazy and busy in the space.
The radish and cabbage, sorghum and millet that had been saved earlier finally had the opportunity to take them out.
There are also saved eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs, and the overflowing rabbits also quickly let them commit suicide.
The chicks hatched last year have now grown to four or five catties, and the hens are kept to lay eggs, and the little roosters are useless, so they also catch two and contribute a big dish to the family table.
In addition, there are a lot of small green vegetables, there is a lot of meat left in the refrigerator, and the small fish in the fish pond have grown up and are big palms.
It's a pity that these still have to wait...
Can't be greedy, can't be greedy!
Jiayin kept persuading himself, and the mule cart slowly entered the nearby village.
This village is called Big Banyan Tree, and there are more than 40 families living in it, more than 200 people.
The roads in the village are dirt roads, but they are clean, and the yards of the houses are neatly fenced.
It is obvious that the atmosphere in this village is good, at least they are all people who are passing through the days, and they are diligent and diligent.
Jiayin stood in her grandmother's arms, trying to stretch her neck and look around.
As a result, the more I look at her, the more satisfied I become.
There are actually people in this village who are raising geese, and they are no longer afraid of goose eggs being taken out to pierce their eyes in the future.
She happily pointed to the yard of the goose keeper and shouted excitedly, "Goose, grandma has geese!" ”
The old lady thought that her granddaughter wanted to eat goose meat, so she immediately called out to her daughter-in-law, "Hongying, go and ask if this family can sell us a goose." Stew goose for Fu Niu at noon! ”
"Okay, mother." Tao Hongying immediately stopped the mule cart, knocked on the door and went in to talk to the woman of the house.
This village is the closest to the gravel beach, and some people in the village have seen the county commander's deflated story clearly, and the rumor is known all over the village.
Almost everyone in the village knows that those people in the gravel beach can't be provoked.
Now Tao Hongying wants to buy a goose like this, and the price given is not bad, how dare that woman not sell it.
Not only did she pluck the largest goose in the flock, but she even gave two goose eggs.
Tao Hongying gave a piece of silver weighing seven or eight yuan, and felt that she did not treat others badly, so she took the goose's neck and took the goose egg and sent it to the mule cart.
Jiayin happily clapped her little hands, taking advantage of her mother's mule and grandmother tying the goose, she quickly put the goose eggs into the basket, and then fastened the lid.
The old lady turned around and saw it, and subconsciously raised her hand to take a look, but immediately buckled it back.
The basket was full of white-skinned goose eggs, green-skinned duck eggs, red-skinned eggs...
Jiayin smiled and hugged her grandmother's neck, "Grandma, go home and eat custard!"
The old lady looked left and right, saw that there were no outsiders, pinched her granddaughter's little face, and asked in a low voice, "Fu Niu, what else do you want to eat?" ”
Jiayin understood, and whispered in her grandmother's ear, "Grandma, there are turnips and cabbage, sorghum and millet." And also... Big fish? ”
The old lady inhaled secretly, and at the end of her heart, she told her daughter-in-law, "Let's go, go around the village for a while, and then go to another village." ”
Tao Hongying didn't know what the old lady and her daughter were discussing, but she was happy when her daughter was so happy.
Thinking of last night, when her daughter lay on her chest like a kitten, she couldn't help but feel distressed.
Nothing is more important to a mother than having a healthy and cheerful child.
"Okay, mother, sit tight."
She flicked her whip and led her mule around the village.
Whenever he went around the corner or behind the firewood stack, avoiding human eyes, Jiayin would go out and get something.
Sometimes it's a bag of sorghum rice, sometimes it's dozens of cabbages, sometimes it's two baskets of radish...
Occasionally, when she met those mothers-in-law in the village who liked to talk, Mrs. Li would take the initiative to respond a few words, "We fled from the famine, we don't have anything to eat, walk around, and change some coarse grains and vegetables." ”
The mothers-in-law guessed that the things in the car were all exchanged in other villages, but regretted it.
They also have endless radish greens at home, and they see that fresh wild vegetables and small vegetables in the yard are about to come down. If you can take it out, it would be nice to exchange it for some copper coins.
So, they asked when the Li family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would come over again, but they were much more enthusiastic than before.
Jiayin sat in the middle of the basket with a smile, like a little landlady, cheerful and cute.
In the future, I will have to take my grandmother out for a walk often!
