Gu Xiaoxiao was perfunctory, "I just found a shop to buy it." ”

When the man heard this, he pouted with the man next to him.

Obviously, they couldn't get used to Gu Xiaoxiao's squandering like this.

At this juncture, everyone has a son in their pocket to buy food, and this Lin Zhao family actually used it to buy a pot, but he is really a top loser......

But this matter was soon revealed, and the others chattered about other topics, but their eyes kept looking at each other what they had bought.

Especially Sister-in-law Qiangzi, her eyes were about to get on Gu Xiaoxiao's back, as if if she looked at it a few more times, the things in her back pocket would become her own.

One person chattered one by one.

"Originally, the bud rice only needed one copper plate and one catty, but now I will go, and I will ask for three copper plates......"

"My old woman has a bad mouth, so she wanted to buy a few catties of corn, but it actually rose from two copper plates to five copper plates a catty, and in the end she could only buy some buckwheat noodles to go back."

"It's been dry in this field for two years, and last year I was able to live on old grain, but if the harvest is not good this year, how can I live?"

"We have paid so much food tax, the court will not leave it open, right?"

"We are in a drought, I heard that hail has been falling for several days on the side of Guang'an City, and there is another flood in the south, and all the grain in the field has been drowned, and natural disasters are falling everywhere......

"What about this...... No matter how much food the court has, I'm afraid it won't be enough......"

The more they talked, the more desperate they became.

After the conversation, there was no sound directly.

At this time, Mrs. Wang, who had been touched with a gray nose, pointed the finger at Gu Xiaoxiao again.

"Lin Zhao, didn't your family go to the town with you, why didn't he come back with you?"

Gu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes speechlessly, "I think you are really a dog and a mouse meddling, you have to ask others about everything, are you annoying!" If you are too idle to keep your mouth shut, get out of the car and go for a run, don't open your mouth to make noise. ”

What the old lady said was obviously a tiger hanging a rosary - fake compassion, and she didn't care much about people in and out of her words, she just wanted to ask questions and ask questions without stopping, buzzing like a fly, and she was about to be annoyed to death.

Mrs. Wang was so scared that her face was red and her neck was thick, and she wanted to go back, but she didn't know what to say.

The people in the village said that Lin Zhao's mouth was powerful, just like a fierce woman who was unreasonable, she was not convinced, thinking of relying on her age, but she didn't think that the other party had no filial piety to respect the old and love the young.

If Gu Xiaoxiao heard this, she was afraid that she would say that this was a shameful thing she did when she was young, and she could be so shameless when she was old.

Hearing that Mrs. Wang was scolded, no one opened her mouth to fight the grievances, after all, not everyone can ask for benefits in the hands of Lin Zhao.

After this trouble, the atmosphere is not so dull.

Suddenly, three or two yellow-brown insects in the sky flew together, their forewings were narrow and long, and their hindwings were colorless and transparent, looking very similar......

An old man suddenly exclaimed, "Isn't that a locust?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's hearts became even colder, and their faces became more and more bitter.

A few years ago, there was also a locust plague in ten miles and eight townships, and the locusts crossed the border, and not a single grass grows, and the hard days of life and death were finally overcome, and the drought began again in the past two years......

The harvest in the field is not very good to the eye, and if there is another locust plague, it will be like forcing people to death.

In the second half of the journey, the atmosphere became dead and silent.

No one spoke again.

Everyone was thinking about what to do, but the more they thought about it, the more hopeless they felt alive.

The ox cart stopped at the head of Shanao Village, and Gu Xiaoxiao jumped down from it and returned home with her back pocket.

Push open the courtyard door and enter, and close it again with your backhand.

At present, the people in the village are living a hard life, and if the things in their pockets are seen, they will inevitably be remembered, so it is safer to close the door.

When several people in the family saw Gu Xiaoxiao coming back, they hurriedly came up.

"Mother."

"Mother-in-law."

The basket was placed in the hall, and the pot on the top was taken down first, but before he could take off the things on the top, there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard door.

Gu Xiaoxiao covered the pot with her backhand, very vigilant, "Erbao, carry your back pocket into the house." ”

Lin Erbao didn't know why, but he still did it.

Gu Xiaoxiao walked to the gate of the courtyard and shouted at the top of her voice: "Who? ”

"It's me, Lin Zhao, open the door."

Gu Xiaoxiao: "......"

How could she tell who it was?

Turning her head to see that Lin Erbao obediently carried her back pocket into the house, she opened the door.

There were two old men, one of whom was a short old man, with crooked eyebrows and eyes, and looked very kind.

The other has a serious expression, looks upright, and is very difficult to speak.

Gu Xiaoxiao searched the memory of the original body, and shouted: "Village chief, Li Zheng, why are you here?" ”

The little old man and the village chief coughed lightly, "Many of the nearby villages have been stolen, and the thief is used to sneaking into the house in the middle of the night to steal people's food and money, you live at the end of this village, you must be more careful, keep an eye in the middle of the night, don't sleep too much." ”

As soon as life is not good, people's hearts will be crooked, petty thieves will also come out and wander around, and the nearby villages will be stolen all over again, and I am afraid that it will soon be their turn to pass the village......

This is known, but he and Li Zheng discussed it all morning and didn't come up with a way, so they could only notify them door to door, telling everyone in the village to be careful.

Gu Xiaoxiao was grateful, "Thank you for the notice from the village chief, the second elder, we know, we will pay more attention." ”

The village chief paused, "Ah... Okay, okay, let's go to the next one. ”

This Lin Zhao has been modified?

Why did he suddenly speak so politely, he was a little unaccustomed to it.

Isn't it evil......

Li Zheng hadn't looked at Gu Xiaoxiao since he came here, and when he heard her say this, he couldn't help but take a look.

But nothing more was said in the end.

Seeing the two away, Gu Xiaoxiao closed the door again.

Taking out all the things in the basket and looking at the food and meat on the table, everyone present was stunned.

But no one showed joy.

"Mother, what about the eldest brother? Didn't he come back with you? Where did he go? Lin Sibao stood up, his expression was serious and unbefitting of his age.

When he hadn't seen his eldest brother just now, he wanted to ask.

Gu Xiaoxiao patted her head, why did she forget about this?

"Your eldest brother was recruited by the Tiger Head Commercial Bank, and the important people of the commercial bank are in a hurry, so he followed the team of the commercial bank at noon today."

The voice fell to the ground, and no one spoke.

Several people looked at each other, and in just a moment, their eyes filled with tears.

Lin Xiaoxi lowered her head and wiped her tears, and a whimper sounded from her mouth.

Children can't hide their thoughts, Wang Xiulian is also simple, and you can see at a glance what these people are thinking.

Gu Xiaoxiao grimaced, "Do you think I sold Dabao?" ”
