He Mai said with a smile: "it's just a little bit of meager strength. It's good for the villagers to have enough to eat. Before the Spring Festival, I'm afraid everyone has to tighten their belts and eat less. Li ZHENGBO, let's go back first. Chen Wu is there... "

Li Zheng waved his hand: "you go, you go! That son of a bitch just wants to mislead you. Don't worry, Bo is standing in the way here. He can't do anything strange! Go back

Back home, Qin and Chunhua are watching their children at the door of the kitchen, and one is having lunch in the kitchen.

When the smell of eggs came, he Mai sniffed, "can you still eat eggs at noon?"

Qin's smile: "I'm also surprised. In this barren year, the chicken has lost two laps and laid eggs. How was the food delivered? "

"Smooth, smooth..." He Mai rushes to talk a way.

"Well, He Lin, why don't you go with Liu Lang to find out how much food is left in your family? Your daughter-in-law said that before the Spring Festival, the food on our table will be eaten according to the number of people. "

He Lin answered and went to the miscellaneous room with Liu Lang.

He Mai smacked his tongue and said, "grandma, why not? There is still some food at home, which is enough for our family.... "

Qin interrupted her mildly: "after the spring, the relief food of the imperial court can't come down, but what if the famine continues? We have to make complete preparations and prolong our life. "

LIULANG and Helin finish their food and come out of the mess.

The rest of the family is 67 Jin of rice, 15 Jin of soybeans and 20 jin of sweet potatoes. The wild boar that was hunted a year ago still has about 120 Jin of rice, and about 30 jin of miscellaneous grains.

At first glance, it seems that there are a lot of these grains, but in fact, I'm afraid they can't support the whole family for three months.

LIULANG's thick eyebrows wrinkled: "there are some bamboo mice in the bamboo forest, aren't they? The worst thing is that there are pigs and sheep in the back circle. Before all the food is eaten up, we can definitely find food rations, but we don't have to worry too much. "

He Mai echoed: "yes, the big deal is that LIULANG and I go to xiaoqingshan again. I don't believe that those refugees can catch all the prey on the mountain?"

"Chunhua, it's not hot enough for lunch. I'll eat only one in the future." Qin said.

He Mai saw that Qin's belt had to be tightened first, and he quickly stopped: "grandma, I can't use it! After the food is finished, there is Bacon, isn't there? As LIULANG said, there are pigs and sheep... "

Let's live for nothing. How can we eat meat? That thing is precious. In this famine years, it is even more valuable than gold! I'm old. It's nothing to eat less steamed bread. I want you kids to have enough to eat.

He Lin moved and said, "grandma, I'll accompany you. I'll also reduce a bun at noon."

"Well, I'll take one off." The spring flowers echoed.

He Mai looked at the three sincere faces, a little sad, and some warm heart, "then let's just cut a steamed bun, all with grandma, OK?"

At noon, no one's steamed bread was reduced. On the contrary, he Mai fried another plate of cured fish, which made the meal more delicious.

When the fragrant cured fish was brought up, he Mai said solemnly, "grandma is right. Life has to be stretched for a long time, but it's not that far, is it? We still have money on hand. We really don't have any food. I'll go out with LIULANG to buy or hunt? We've reduced our rations. When the time comes, we'll be hungry. How can we have strength? "

Qin's eyes narrowed, He Lin scratched his head and said, "my sister is still capable. If I had half the courage of my sister, I would not be in the circle..."

Before he finished, he stopped naturally.

When he saw that three women and a man were staring at him, He Lin laughed three times, "eat, don't say these..."

The atmosphere on the table was a little silent and stiff. Qin's face was very heavy when he remembered that he Lin was going to stay in the countryside for farming. After eating a few mouthfuls, he put down his chopsticks.

On the contrary, the spring flowers are open. When Qin's family leaves, He Lin comforts him: "Mr. Xiang, since things are over, don't think much about it. Eat more vegetables. After a while, I'll coax Xiao Hu to sleep and pinch his legs for you..."

"Well, you go first, and I'll come later." Holling road.

Lin'er pesters Liu Lang and yawns when he's full. After a while, he's taken back to the house to have a rest.

All that was left on the table was Hollin and rye.

Brother and sister slowly put down the chopsticks, seems to have a tacit understanding, you look at me, I look at you.

"Brother, tell me about your stay in the imperial capital." He Mai wiped the corner of his mouth with his handkerchief and said slowly.

He Lin still resisted, shaking his head and saying, "there's nothing to say. I'll never go to the imperial capital again. It's better to forget those things."

"You'd better say it, brother," he Mai stared at He Lin, "what happened when you were in the palace examination, how could you be brought a name of fraud? And how did Xiuer know that? "

He Lin's shocked eyes dilated: "sister, sister, how are you..."

"That day you went to send food and silver to Xiuer. LIULANG and I heard that."He Lin Leng Leng, let out a breath, "I..."

"I didn't cheat."

He said softly and firmly.

……

……

Chen Wu was lying alone on the Kang at home, groaning and rubbing his stomach.

It wasn't hurt when he was fighting with Helin last day, but he didn't eat a full meal for two days and was hungry.

Now it's evening. It's dark outside. The cold wind blows through the window. Chen Wu covers his quilt tightly.

A few sticks of firewood in the Kang hole were burning a weak flame, which could not support the temperature of the Kang. Chen Wu was cold and hungry, biting the skin of his mouth.

He remembered that when he was distributing grain to the first few families of Tian Laohan and Chen in the morning, with a wave of his pen, more than ten jin of grain was distributed to the head of the family. He stood and watched eagerly, but no one came to ask if he had any food to eat. He was hungry for several days.

He was not embarrassed to ask Li Zheng to give him some food, but he didn't like the rice and noodles moved out by the Lin family.

There is no meat at all. Even if it's a big white steamed bread, can it be eaten!?

Before the famine, he was eating a lot of fish and meat all day long, which was different from these vile villagers!

If not for the previous refugees who came to the village and robbed all the food of his family, he would not have become a starving ghost like this!

Chen Wu thinks so, bite on the mouth more vigorous son, a did not pay attention to, "hiss" of a, bite the skin of the mouth.

"When I got rich, I had a lot of fish and meat all day, and the women around me wanted to sleep. Now I'm down and can't even eat meat, women It's all gone

Chen Wuyi patted his thighs, put on his cotton padded jacket and went out. He decided to go to Lizheng for another visit. He had to get some food and fill his stomach first!
