The mule cart entered the village, attracting the curious gaze of the children playing at the entrance of the village.

Shen Qingqian had already lifted the curtain of the car, and after seeing these children, she motioned for Shen Shan to stop.

Shen Shan also got out of the car and led the mule forward.

The two walked a long way, but they still couldn't see an adult.

Shen Qingqian walked towards a child who had been following them, squatted in front of him and asked with a gentle smile, "Little friend, what about the adults in your village?" ”

The child in front of him is very nutritious to the naked eye. Good, dark and thin, I don't know how old I am.

"My father and mother are all ......" The boy was a little afraid to look at Shen Qing's pale and glowing face, and he replied timidly with his eyes down, "Go...... Begging went. ”

Shen Qingqian was stunned when he heard this, how could he go to beg for food?

All the way over, they could see that the land in Shangyang Village was still good, and the land was full of grain, and even the land occupied by sugarcane was planted with different crops.

When the other children saw Shen Qingqian talking to this child, they gradually gathered around, talking about the situation in the village.

"My grandmother said that the pot could not be opened at home, and they went to northern Hubei City to beg for food the day before yesterday, saying that they would come back tomorrow."

"My mother asked my father to work at home, and she went to Shao County to wash people's clothes, and said that she would buy me meat buns......"

"My family too, my dad ......"

Shen Qingqian looked at the eldest child in front of her, and asked again, "Isn't there sugar cane in your field?" Why don't you sell it for silver? ”

When the child heard this, he raised his eyes and looked at Shen Qingqian, the corners of his mouth drooped, and he looked like he was about to cry, "My father said, it is reserved for the big boss, and I can't help but talk about credibility, otherwise no one will come to buy the sugarcane in our village in the future......"

Shen Qingqian was very surprised, he didn't expect that the people in this village still valued integrity so much, which made people feel even more uncomfortable.

"Are there any adults in your village? We're here to buy sugar cane. Shen Qingqian asked with a smile again.

Another child rushed to reply, "My grandma is at home!" I'll take you there, can you buy my sugar cane first? ”

Shen Qingqian asked rhetorically, "Didn't you say that you want to keep it for the big boss?" ”

"No, I heard my father say, that big boss will definitely not come, and no one in our city collects it, my father used to sell it, and he didn't sell it for two pennies or a pound......"

This kid saw an opportunity, and when he heard that Shen Qingqian was here to buy sugar cane, he quickly told everything he knew.

Shen Qingqian looked around, still feeling incredulous, "Then you won't be unable to open the pot, right?" ”

At this time, an old voice sounded behind them, "Girl, from last year to now, the government has levied grain three times, and just after the New Year, the strong men in the village have been requisitioned away, and there is not much surplus grain in the family over the years, and last year was a drought year, what kind of work do we have?" ”

Shen Qingqian turned around and saw an old lady in a patched dress looking at her.

"Grandma, do you have sugar cane at home?" Shen Shan took a step forward, bowed, and asked again.

Seeing his kind face, the old lady nodded and said, "Every household in our village has planted at least three acres of sugarcane, how much do you want to buy?" ”

There are hundreds of families in Shangyang Village, and because the people who came to buy sugarcane last year said that they would harvest as much as possible, they tried to make as many as possible, but they did not expect that a war would make it all come to naught.

In these years, no one has much grain in stock, the government is both conscripting grain and conscription, and no one collects the sugarcane in the field, so they can't get the silver, so naturally they can't buy grain, and the family can't open the pot.

Shen Shan looked at Shen Qingqian.
