Say that it doesn't matter, it really doesn't matter at all, Qin Xi is very busy every day now, going up the mountain to chop firewood, this is a rare period of free time, the firewood room at home, she wants to get firewood in.

Now there are only three rabbits left in the house, and there is a lot of space inside, and there is still some firewood to pile up in the small attic.

In addition, some low-lying shady places grow some malnourished wild grasses and wild vegetables, although there are not much, but it is better than nothing, every day to bring some fresh things back to the rabbit to eat, it is also good, if the wild vegetables are fresh and tender, people can also eat.

There was a famine in the homes of many people in the village, and two meals a day were scarce, except for the people who worked in the village.

Their situation touched Qin Xi's sensitive nerves, although there were still more than 160 catties of food at home, enough for her and her eldest brother to eat for more than two months, but she always felt that it was not enough.

If it doesn't rain, the spring ploughing can't be carried out, and the summer harvest goes without saying, and the autumn harvest may not even be available, of course, this is the worst-case scenario.

You must know that Chenhui Village is located in the south, and the crops in the field can be harvested twice a year, which can barely maintain the villagers' food and drink for a year, after all, they have to pay half of the public grain.

If there is one less harvest in any year, not to mention the people in the city, the people in the countryside will definitely have to live a hard life for a long time, after all, the grain is not said to be able to buy it if they want to, and they have no money to buy it, and if the grain in the field wants to grow and mature, it is impossible to lay the foundation without a few months.

During this time, the villagers ate all the surplus grain at home, and if there was no surplus food, they could only find ways to get food, and the parallel of open source and throttling could barely get through that difficult time.

That night, seeing that the sky was still clear, cloudless, and the stars were shining, Qin Xi called Qin Jiang and went to the Zhiqing Point to find Tang Ying and them.

This kind of thing, it's not good to talk about it at the Zhiqing point, the four of them simply went out for a walk, and now the weather is not so cold, even the cotton clothes have been taken off, the temperature at this time is like autumn, neither cold nor hot, a single coat inside, a thin coat outside, it is very suitable to wear.

"Qin Xi, is there something wrong with you coming to us so late?"

She wanted to ask this for a long time, but it was not a good place to talk, so she could only endure it outside and ask again.

"You also know the recent weather, logically speaking, it should have rained at this time, ready to plant seedlings, but this year's rain has not fallen, last year's field, there was a crack in the boss, I think this year's weather is a little wrong, so, I want to go to the black market in Yongxin County, buy some food back and prepare."

"Although there is still some food at home now, it is definitely not enough to eat, at most two months, the family will run out of food, and I don't think the summer harvest can be guaranteed, so I want to spend money first, go to the black market to buy some and come back to prepare."

Compared with other families in the village, Qin Xi and they did not lose their mouths, and they would eat eight or nine minutes full every time they ate, three times a day, and they didn't fall behind.

The two months of food she has here refers to two months under normal eating, if she is like the people in the village, she only eats two meals a day, and she drinks thin every meal, and it is no problem to eat for half a year.

"Is this really that serious?" Tang Ying was a little frightened.

The rice seeds sown in the village, she went to see, they were already a palm high, although they looked a little thin, and some of the leaves were pointed and yellow, but it was still okay to look at them, as long as the fertilizer caught up, it should be no problem.

If you want her to say, after a while, when it rains, the village will be able to arrange for plowing and planting rice immediately, and there should be no delay.

The old people in the village also thought so, and she felt that it made sense to say so, and she had mentioned it to Qin Xi before!

"I don't know if it will come to the point I said, I have been hungry, I know how uncomfortable this feeling is, now there is no shortage of money in my hand, naturally I want to buy some food and come back and put it, if nothing happens, it is naturally good, if something happens, this is life-saving food."

Although the order will not be chaotic, there is no food!

At this time, the disaster relief food is not so easy to receive, and if it does not meet the standard, it will not be distributed at all, and even if there is, it is still unknown how much they can get from the educated youth who go to the countryside.

Rather than waiting for something to happen and expecting this and that, it is better to prepare in advance and hold the safety line in your own hands.

This kind of starvation due to disasters is normal if you push back ten years.

Tang Ying nodded, and was persuaded by Qin Xi: "What you said makes sense, let's go with you tomorrow!" ”

"If there is food on the black market, then buy more back, even if there is no such thing, we still have to buy food, now it's just in advance."

The food she and He Yuan shared was not enough to eat, one was that she had less work and less income, and the other was that both of them had very good appetites, if they were allowed to drink thin every day, they would definitely not be able to live this life.

Now her food standard has dropped a lot, she used to have meat to eat every day, but now she eats meat three or four times a month, which is enough to confuse those people who know the youth.

Besides, spending money to buy food, even if it was just a false alarm in the end, nothing happened, the food would not be wasted, it could still be eaten, she and He Yuan had nothing to lose, at most they lost some money to buy food, and when the price of food in the black market was relatively high, they bought food, but this loss was not taken to her heart.

"Okay, that's it, I'll go tomorrow, this kind of thing is better sooner rather than later."

Now everyone is just a little worried, in another half a month, the situation will be different, if the price of food soars, just the little money in their hands, really can't buy much, the price is too high, maybe they are reluctant to buy, when the time comes, just wait for the hungry!

After all, the spring ploughing has not yet begun, not only Qingyu County, the surrounding counties and cities are also like this, it can be said that this year, the whole Ontario Province, is very dry, there is very little rain, only a few places with high mountains and mountains have rained, barely wet the ground, and plant the seeds.

Suddenly, Tang Ying remembered Qin He, and said that he was also a friend who had known him for a few years, although he had met less recently: "By the way, did you say it over there?" ”

Qin Xi shook his head: "No, his daughter-in-law doesn't like me, there is no intersection anymore, I also cut a lot of bamboo some time ago, and I plan to separate the two sides." ”

"When you go back, big brother, go and mention it to them! Don't ask them to come with us, I'm annoyed when I see him now. ”
