The next day, only Shen Ruoqing, Mrs. Ji and a few small ones were at home, and the others went to dig kudzu. Cui Zhaodi and Du's mother's family are here.

"In-laws, where's my daughter?" Cui Zhaodi looked at the room and asked, her daughter is not there, and the Shen family is too perfunctory to herself, so she poured a glass of boiled water for the guests.

"I'm going to dig wild vegetables, what's the matter, do you still have sweet potatoes when your in-laws come to the door?" Mrs. Ji asked deliberately.

Cui Zhaodi's face changed: "In-laws, I haven't told you yet, those sweet potatoes were eaten up in a few days, this plague, our family is embarrassed to keep talking to you, just spent the winter on the bark or something, and kept eating wild vegetable cakes in the spring, looking forward to the summer harvest, but I didn't expect that the black-hearted businessman in country X, selling seeds like us, are all empty shells, how can we live?" ”

Du's sister-in-law, Zeng, also said: "Aunt Shen, you still have the foresight to ask us to stock up on more food, but the family doesn't have much money, and there is no money left to buy food. ”

Mrs. Ji drank a glass of water, "Yes, everyone is having a hard time this year, how much can the final grain yield of this rice be, we have to wait for the liquidation later, we should all know about this situation, it won't make us so sad, more or less this relief grain should be able to come down." ”

Cui Zhaodi and Zeng's glanced at each other, and Cui Zhaodi spoke first: "In-laws, I won't beat around the bush with you, I really can't open the pot at home, I want to borrow 300 catties of grain, coarse grain." ”

Zeng said: "Aunt Shen, our family regrets not listening to you very much, but you also know the situation of our family, and we really can't afford to buy food. ”

Mrs. Ji spread her hands: "I specially asked my daughter-in-law to go back to her parents' house to tell you to prepare more, you come to the door now, what can I do?" Our family also has no extra food. Mother-in-law, you also saw the situation in our family last time, and I have done my best to lend you so many sweet potatoes. ”

"After all, the Shen family's aunt has a way, I have long known that my aunt is a capable person, and my aunt must have hoarded food, our two families are really in trouble, otherwise it will be really difficult to come to the door." Zeng looked embarrassed.

"In-laws, you can't care about our family's life or death, I married my daughter to your family and gave birth to three big fat boys for your family, my little grandson is still a blessed person as the master said, I don't want fine grains for these three hundred catties of grain, just coarse grains." Cui Zhaodi looked like Mrs. Ji had taken a big advantage.

"Three hundred pounds of grain? Why don't you grab it? Three hundred pounds of grain for one mouth? Gave you our old Shen family to drink the northwest wind? Mrs. Ji couldn't hold back the peace on her face, and said directly.

"In-laws, don't coax me, you already knew that there would be a shortage of food at this time, and you must have prepared a lot of food, if you tell me this now, you will treat me as an outsider and not as a relative." Cui Zhaodi's face also sank.

Mrs. Ji got up: "I know you don't believe it, let's go, I'll take you to our cellar." ”

Unexpectedly, Cui Zhaodi didn't eat this set: "In-laws, don't fool me with this set." Who knows where you hide your grain? ”

Mrs. Ji's face also sank: "Believe it or not, it's really not good, you can report me, I said that there is no food, there is no food!" Since you think I'm lying to you, then we won't continue to talk, please go back. ”

Zeng was anxious: "Aunt Shen, I didn't say I didn't believe you." This is what Aunt Cui said, but it's none of my business! ”

Cui Zhaodi glared at Zeng's family: "Didn't you say that I sang white face and you sang red face, why did you leave me like this?" ”

Shen Ruoqing watched the two families fighting with relish, and it seemed that these two people couldn't get anything good at Mrs. Ji's hands.

In the end, both men returned in vain.

After the two left, Mrs. Ji packed up her things and took some food out.

"Good baby, when your third brother comes back, let him send us two to your grandmother's house." Mrs. Ji pulled the grain, Mr. Ji and Mrs. Wang couldn't eat much, so she brought a two-hundred-pound cornmeal, the old couple was old, and the coarse grain was not very easy to eat, so after thinking about it, she put ten catties of white flour, and these ten catties of white flour were regarded as her filial piety.

Shen Ruoqing took a tractor to Liushu Village.

It's a rare thing for a tractor to come to the village, adults and children come around to see, although they also have tractors in Willow Village, but usually the captain baby is the same as something.

Seeing that it was Mrs. Ji, someone who knew him hurried to inform Grandma Ji and Grandpa Ji.

Mrs. Ji felt the envious gazes of the people around her, and her waist couldn't help but straighten up by two points. Now she suddenly had a feeling of returning home.

"Hongying is back."

"Or do you make tractors?"

"It seems that Hongying's life in Big Stone Village is quite good, huh? Although there is no husband, there are more sons, but it is different. It seems to be her son who drives the tractor, right? ”

"Why are you back at this time? This is westward, right? Will drive a tractor? It's really out of the blue. Ji Liangzhu knocked the cigarette stick.

Shen Xiangxi parked the car on the side of the road, carrying the grain and Mrs. Ji, and Shen Ruoqing entered the courtyard of the Ji family together.

The Ji family was eating at this time, and when Mrs. Ji saw it, she was eating black flour buns and two plates of wild vegetables.

"That's what we're going to eat?" Mrs. Ji said.

"If you don't eat this, what will you eat? If you want to come back, you won't come early, why did you come so late today? Mrs. Wang had a wooden face, and Ji Liangzhu went to ask her eldest grandson and daughter-in-law to prepare three more pairs of chopsticks.

"I'm not here to eat, I'll go back after delivering something." Mrs. Ji waved her hand, and Shen Xiangxi also brought all the grain over at this time.

"I informed you before, asking you to stock up on more grain, okay, I won't say anything, these two bags of grain are lent to Hongxun, and the ten catties of white flour in them are my filial piety to your two elders." Mrs. Ji's face was a little uncomfortable, and it was the first time she had been in a hurry to deliver food.

Feng stepped forward to check, good guy, so much cornmeal.

"It's cornmeal."

"Where did you get so much food?" Mrs. Wang asked.

Feng's face immediately laughed: "The eldest sister hasn't eaten yet, I'll let my daughter-in-law fry an egg, and the eldest sister will stay and eat." ”

"You don't care where I got the food, okay, remember to pay me back in the future, it's not early, I still have to go home for dinner." Mrs. Ji waved her hand and went back with Shen Ruoqing. It's a wild vegetable, and it's a black-faced bun, so she doesn't want to eat it.

"Don't go, who said to borrow your food? Take the grain back. Mrs. Wang said, but Mrs. Ji didn't care about her mother at all, and left directly.

In the end, Ji Liangzhu spoke: "Let's move this grain in." ”
