Chapter 54: No Rice

Wei Xiaohong is indeed right, if this matter is not resolved as soon as possible, the two children will not have a good reputation in the village.

Although she doesn't like Chen Yin, she is also a knowledgeable youth, and she may have a good development in the future.

"That's it, but I have one request, and that is that you must inform the village of the two children who are engaged."

Thinking of her only request, Wei Xiaohong hurriedly said, for fear that she would be completely forgotten by herself if she was not careful.

Hearing that the engagement ceremony of the two children was going to be announced to the whole village, Ye Mei was obviously a little excited, and even a little disapprove.

The matter of the two children has already become a joke in the whole village, and now it is announced at this time, which is obviously a provocative talk.

"I don't agree with you doing this, obviously because you didn't take into account our old Gao family. Although girls do suffer more in the matter of men and women, my son can't be the wrongdoer! ”

Thinking that her son had been in charge of everything from beginning to end, Ye Mei gradually couldn't bear it.

She has already agreed to be responsible, but in the end, it is getting more and more excessive.

In the face of Ye Mei's reluctant behavior, Wei Xiaohong didn't care, but sat down on the stool again.

"It's okay, as long as you don't want to, then I'll just sit here, and the villagers can see it anyway."

Once again, she started a very unreasonable mode, and in the face of Wei Xiaohong's unreasonableness, Ye Mei had no choice but to agree.

"Even if I have convinced you, you go back quickly, I will take care of this matter, and I will definitely give your daughter enough face then."

Leaving the Gao family under the urging of Ye Mei, Wei Xiaohong not only did not have any displeasure, but was full of joy.

Now that the matter has been settled, his daughter can also appear in the village in the open.

On the same day, the marriage of the two families was also publicized in the village.

The imaginary blessings were not obtained, and the two families received more gossip at most.

Half a month has passed, everything seems to have never happened, and the matter between Gao Jiesheng and Chen Yin has been completely forgotten.

The Lu family, Bai Zilan was cooking in the kitchen as usual, but after looking at the empty rice bowl, she couldn't help but sigh.

During this time, I patronized and watched the excitement, but I didn't expect to accidentally forget that there was no food.

After looking at this huge rice jar for a long time, Bai Zilan still couldn't believe that the food at home was empty.

At present, the whole family is only supported by Lu Suifeng's Weibo income in the steel mill, and if it continues like this, the family may be hungry.

Unable to think about these anymore, Bai Zilan took her small basket and went to the back mountain, just to temporarily solve the problem of food and clothing tonight.

In the evening, several people sat at the dinner table, Xu Jiao looked at the batter in front of her, and did not speak for a long time.

She hadn't eaten batter since she came to Lu's house, but today it's ......

"Mother, I don't want to eat batter, I want to eat."

Lu Shuyi looked at the batter in front of him and said, but he never picked up chopsticks to eat.

In the face of her willfulness, Bai Zilan picked up the chopsticks as if she hadn't heard it.

"If you like to eat, you can eat, if you don't eat, you will pull down, there is only this food at home, if you don't want to eat, you will be hungry!"

Too lazy to explain too much in this regard, Bai Zilan didn't want to bring up such a heavy topic at the dinner table.

"Mother, I was wrong, I eat, I can't eat!"

Seeing that Bai Zilan was angry, Lu Shuyi didn't dare to continue to speak, so he could only eat the batter in front of him silently.

The atmosphere at the table was extremely heavy, so heavy that Xu Jiao had the illusion of indigestion.

After eating, Xu Jiao took over the task of cleaning up the rice bowl as usual, but only after entering the kitchen did she see the empty rice bowl.

After staring at the rice jar for a long time, Xu Jiao remembered what happened some time ago.

Why did she forget that Aunt Bai said some time ago that there was no rice at home, but because there was Gao Jiesheng's matter at that time, she ignored it.

Unexpectedly, after a period of time, the rice at home not only did not increase, but became less and less, so that in the end, it bottomed out.

Thinking of what Bai Zilan said at the dinner table, Xu Jiao was silent for a moment and hurried back to the house.

The box turned over and took out the envelope hidden at the bottom from the drawer, and Xu Jiao patted it gently.

"It's up to you next, whether you can solve the problem of food and clothing can only depend on how effective you can be."

Pulling out a few brand-new banknotes from the envelope, Xu Jiao put the envelope back in place after a brief estimate.

Although the money is not much, it should be enough to last for a while.

Xu Jiao thought to herself, took the money and went directly to Lu Suifeng's house.

"Comrade Lu, you take this money, go to the town to buy some rice and come back, tomorrow we will eat as usual, no matter what, we must not go hungry."

Xu Jiao stuffed the money into Lu Suifeng's palm as she spoke, and was just about to leave when she was stopped by Lu Suifeng.

"You better take this money back, I can't take your money. You came here to live because the village party secretary asked me, and I should have been responsible for your three meals. ”

Lu Suifeng said word by word, as if he was worried that she would not be able to hear what she was saying.

How can guests come to the house and let them pay for rice! Most people don't do this kind of thing.

Facing Lu Suifeng's flickering refusal, Xu Jiao directly put her hands behind her back.

"Why can't you take my money, I will definitely not be happy if I eat and drink for nothing in your old Lu family, if you don't accept it, then I can only move out."

In order to get Lu Suifeng to accept the money, Xu Jiao could only threaten to move out.

With Xu Jiao's threat, Lu Suifeng finally compromised, "Then even if I borrow it from you, I will return it to you in the future." ”

On the same day, Lu Suifeng took the money and went to the town, but unfortunately the effect was not ideal.

"I can't imagine that this rice is getting more and more expensive, and if it goes on like this, I'm afraid every household won't be able to fill their stomachs."

Lu Suifeng looked at the rice in the rice bag and said, feeling the light weight, he couldn't help but be a little tired.

If it is as usual, his salary can still subsidize the family, but according to the current situation, I am afraid it is getting more and more difficult.

"Who said that rice is getting more and more expensive, every household has been buying grain recently, it must be a little more expensive, and the price of rice will definitely come down in a few days."

Xu Jiao said very firmly, but his determination also made Lu Suifeng laugh.

At a glance, she knew that she didn't care about these things on weekdays, how could the price of rice be related to the number of people who bought rice.

"Don't be whimsical, no matter how many people buy it, the price of rice is at this price, and the price will not change in the short term."

Pouring the purchased rice into the rice jar, Lu Suifeng refused to let go of the rice at the bottom, just to save some.

Three days later, Lu Suifeng also came to the town under urging, but unexpectedly found that the price of rice had really fallen.
