After lunch, Li Erlin instructed Fugui to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, Jixiang took good care of his younger brothers and sisters in the hall, and Chen Dajuan and Li Ping'an followed him into the room.

Li Ping'an silently followed his father into the room, Li Erlin asked Chen Dajuan to take out all the money and count it, there were a total of twenty-four seven hundred and thirteen texts.

Li Erlin looked at the pile of copper coins on the table, and was silent for a long time before he started to divide the money into eight parts, except for the pile in front of him, the other seven parts were the same two pieces of money.

"Before I came back, I went to the stream again, and the water rose so fast that it could reach my thighs, and we have high ground here, so it's okay for the time being, but other places must have suffered disasters. I told my eldest brother and younger brother that while the price of grain should not have risen now, I will go to the county to buy grain later, and you will go with me when you are safe. ”

Seeing Li Ping'an nodding, Li Erlin pushed four of the seven taels of money in front of Chen Dajuan, "You give this money to Dazhu and them, there will be two pieces in one family, and there will be no more." Then tell them that we will go into the city to buy food at the beginning of the day, and they will come with them. ”

Chen Dajuan snorted her mouth, wanted to speak and stopped, but finally turned into an inaudible sigh, nodded silently, took a small basket and loaded it with eight yuan of money, covered it with a cloth and walked out.

"Dad, uncle, did they borrow money from our family?" Li Ping'an asked curiously.

Li Erlin nodded, "You also know your uncle's situation, if he really couldn't come up with the money, he would definitely not open this mouth." ”

Li Ping'an and his uncle Li Dalin, like his grandfather, were all lame, when they fled north in chaos, they were still in a chaotic world, deserters, robbers, and homeless people...... It can be said that there are dangers along the way, his grandfather and third uncle died on the road, his uncle was broken leg, and he almost died when he couldn't find Langzhong, God willing, and finally survived.

Just because he is lame, Li Dalin can't even say that he is a daughter-in-law, and he is still a relative of the official media. However, although Li Dalin is lame, he has a strong temperament and refuses to accept his fate, and he rushes to do all the work in the field and at home, and he is a person with strong self-esteem and a strong and independent personality.

When Li Ping'an asked his family to make tofu and bean cakes, he also mentioned teaching it to his uncle, Li Erlin went to tell it, but Li Dalin refused.

"Dashan only became a relative last year, and your aunt's family can't come up with a few dollars now, so I guess they will come to borrow money sooner or later. Uncle Ling's family is too, your grandmother lives with your uncle, she is not in good health, and she has to take medicine from time to time, although I have given more money for the elderly in recent years, but it is still your uncle and aunt who bother. ”

Li Erlin sighed, after the separation, it was his second room that was the most relaxed, even if Li Ping'an didn't find a livelihood for the family, the pressure on his shoulders was much less than that of the eldest brother and younger brother.

"Peace, although my father and your uncle and uncle have separated from each other, they are still a family in the final analysis, and sometimes a family can't be too careful, everyone has to work hard to get through the difficulties together. When our family fled, it was your grandfather, aunt and uncle who sacrificed their lives to protect the family, your grandfather was gone, and your second grandfather and third grandfather did not abandon us, if it weren't for their protection, we would not have the life to come here and settle down......"

"Dad, you don't need to say it, I understand." Li Ping'an said that he had no opinion at all about his father's borrowing of money, uncles and aunts were good, and it was good for them children, and he would never say anything if he could help.

What's more, just borrowing money, the money is gone, and if you have the skills to make tofu and bean cakes at home, you can still earn it back.

Besides, didn't his father lend out all the money, didn't he still have ten dollars, and it was enough.

The top priority is for everyone to buy more food and come back and stock up.

Seeing that his father didn't mean to speak, Li Ping'an hesitated for a moment and asked worriedly, "Dad, are we going to escape from the famine?" ”

"Who knows, maybe you want it, maybe you don't." Li Erlin sighed in his heart, this rain was too big, and he didn't know the bottom in his heart.

At the end of the day, the three brothers also took this situation into account at the eldest brother's house, and if they really wanted to flee the famine, they would flee south and flee back to their ancestral home.

Li Ping'an felt irritable, this feeling of being involuntary was so unpleasant that he couldn't help but think of the deterioration of his condition in his previous life. But no matter how unhappy he is, he has been living in this era for thirteen years, and no matter how it is, he can only accept it.

What a dog's day!

Scolding fiercely in his heart, Li Ping'an turned around and walked out of the room and returned to his room, opened his small box for the third time today, and took out all the private money, about four dollars.

If the nightmare he had was really a warning from heaven, if there really was such a big flood, then escaping the famine seemed to be a given. Since everyone has prepared for the worst, he will also plan for the worst.

His father's money must have been used to buy food, food is very important, but other things are also important, such as sugar, salt, vinegar.

The human body needs salt, and it is not possible to eat it; Vinegar can be disinfected, and the sanitary conditions after the disaster should also be paid attention to; As for sugar, you must not buy caramel sugar, caramel is made of grain, the sugar content is very low, it can only be regarded as a snack, he plans to buy brown sugar, although brown sugar is expensive, but it replenishes the body, his grandmother's body was broken when he fled, he doesn't want his father and mother and younger brothers and sisters to break their bodies.

There are also medicinal herbs, what is the heat and fire, wind and cold, it is best to prepare some.

In this way, the money is not enough at all.

Li Ping'an was worried, he knew that he wouldn't spend so much, but at this point, he could only take one step at a time.

Xiao Ruzhi, who was playing in the hall, didn't come out of the room for so long, his eyes rolled around, and he slipped in. Seeing that the eldest brother was in a daze, she bumped into her head and hugged the eldest brother's thigh, and kept tiptoeing into the box.

"Cauldron, you said you ate the morning food and gave me candy!"

Li Ping'an retracted his thoughts and heard this sentence clearly, he was happy, and pulled Xiao Ruyi in front of him with his backhand, pinched her face and pulled it up, "That's right, but didn't you already give it to you, you didn't keep it for you to eat after eating." ”

Xiao Ruyi pushed away Li Ping'an's hand, pouted and said: "I don't care, you just said that you ate the morning food and gave me candy, if you don't give me sugar, I, I, I won't play with you!" ”

Who's playing with whom......

Looking at Xiao Ruyi, who turned his head angrily, Li Ping'an took out the candy from the box and shook it in front of Xiao Ruyi's eyes, "Do you want to play with the eldest brother?" ”

"Play with the cauldron! The cauldron is the best! Xiao Ruyi nodded again and again, her eyes as if they were glued to the sugar.

"Mother is right, you are a little glutton!" Li Ping'an hooked his fingers and scratched Xiao Ruyi's nose, and stuffed all the sugar into her hands, "Take it, go and share it with your brothers and sisters." ”

Xiao Ruyi ran out happily, shouting as she ran: "Sister, sister......"

Li Ping'an smiled and shook his head, he spoiled himself as such a little sister, and he could only suffer by himself.
