"Alright, let's have a taste. Although we're not masters like you, we can still be good at tasting wine. No matter what, we drink quite a bit. As for whether the wine tastes good, we still know what it tastes like." Ma Zhiguo was not exaggerating at all. Back then, their positions were not low at all. To them, they drank quite a bit of good wine. After all, they did have a high status back then.

While they were chatting animatedly about the topic of the wine, the atmosphere of the youth who knew the difference wasn't good at all.

At this time, the atmosphere in Zhixiang was quite heavy, because they couldn't eat their own grains, so they really didn't have much to eat. Because they couldn't eat their own grains, they really didn't have much to eat in the countryside, so they really didn't have much to do with this year's grains, and the previous year, they had been able to fly here, which was much better than the rest of them. Thus, when they could eat their own grains, they didn't eat too much even when they were sent away.

"Yanyan, are we going to do this in the future? "There's only so much food left." When Li Jingran saw Wang Yanyan come to her side, she looked at her with a wronged expression and whispered to her.

"Aren't there still a lot of food left?" Wang Yanyan didn't know that the only thing left in her house was a bowl of cornmeal. They didn't have any other grain, which was why she asked Li Jingran this question.

Looking at the clueless Wang Yanyan, Li Jingran felt especially depressed in her heart. If they had enough food, would she still be in such a difficult situation?

"Now we only have this bowl of cornmeal left, there doesn't seem to be much left. If we continue to eat like this and don't have any other grains, we can only survive for a month, but we still have three months left to split the rice."

In fact, Li Jingran didn't know what to do now. In the past, when they spread out to fly around, even if they didn't have enough food, it wouldn't be that bad. But now, they only had one month's worth of food left.

"Isn't it true that we still have subsidies? We'll have them when the time comes!" At that time, Wang Yuyan didn't feel any different from us. In any case, they still had a monthly allowance, so even if there wasn't enough food to eat, there wouldn't be much difference!

When Li Jingran heard this, he became even angrier. They did not notice the subsidies, but Zhou Junda and the others did. Their subsidies were usually given to the family, so how could they be like the two of them?

"We can use our subsidies, but don't you know that both Zhou Junda and I have already given them to our family?" Hearing Li Jingran's words, Wang Yanyan suddenly thought of this question, "Then, what should we do?"

If there were no more grains, the two of them wouldn't be too worried. After all, they still had a subsidy, but if they really didn't care about Zhou Junda and Li Tiezhu, when the time came to collect the grains, it would be even more difficult for them.

"Let's wait for Zhou Junda and the other two to return before we do anything else!" No matter what, it was impossible for the two of them to just leave Zhou Junda and the rest alone. But there was only so much food left, and if it really wasn't enough, they could only eat some wild vegetables, and they knew that wild vegetables could be eaten, but for face, they never seemed to dig up wild vegetables. If not, then the few of them would just take care of wild vegetables.

"Alright, but shouldn't we start cooking? I'm hungry!" In Wang Yanyan's heart, no matter what matter it was, Li Jingran could solve it. Therefore, she shouldn't think too much about it and just hand the matter over to Li Jingran.

Since it was already dinner time, they might as well start cooking. Besides, Zhou Junda and the other two had gone up the mountain to chop wood, and it was almost time for them to come back. If the two of them didn't cook now, then it wouldn't be fair, but seeing that there wasn't much food left, Li Jingran was truly worried in his heart.

However, even if she was worried, she still had to eat. Since the food was running out, she might as well eat something thin today.

"Yanyan, you cook. Let's have some porridge tonight!" Li Jingran ordered as he looked at Wang Yanyan who was standing at the side.

"Why are we eating like this today?" Zhou Junda asked angrily when he saw the dishes on the dining table. They had gone up the mountain to chop firewood today, and had come back for porridge after exerting all their strength. He was truly infuriated now that there was not even the slightest bit of dry food left.

"Don't be angry, our family doesn't have much food left. If you don't eat it slowly, we won't be able to get any food!" When Li Jiran saw Zhou Junda's expression, she immediately explained, "If we don't have to worry about food, what do you think we should do?"

He glanced at Li Tiezhu, but found that Li Tiezhu didn't seem to take his words to heart, as if what he ate tonight had nothing to do with him. Looking at Li Tiezhu's expressionless face, Zhou Junda felt a burst of dissatisfaction in his heart.

"Let's eat!" Since Li Tiezhu didn't say anything, then his own words were useless, so he still didn't say anything.

In the past, they would still talk a little during dinner, but today, it seemed that because of the matter of the grains, the atmosphere was a little heavy. Even Wang Yuyan, who normally wouldn't look down on others, knew that the atmosphere today wasn't right, and thus, the others didn't say anything.

However, Wang Yanyan still took a few glances at Li Jiran and Zhou Junda while they were eating. In the past, when they were eating, Zhou Junda was still quite talkative, but nobody said anything for today's meal. Zhou Junda was unhappy in his heart, but as for Li Tiezhu, he didn't like to talk at all.

"Let's discuss what to do properly. We can't say that we eat like this every day. If that's the case, then we won't be able to hold on when we're busy with farming." Actually, according to her meaning, they were taking out the allowance for each of their reading amount during this period of time as an emergency, but when she saw Li Tiezhu's calm eyes, she didn't say this because she knew Li Tiezhu's family conditions were bad, and his family had a lot of siblings. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come here, and the conditions here weren't good, but the allowance here was relatively high.

"Do you think we should do it?" One must know that he had frequently observed Li Jingran, otherwise, he really wouldn't have known that Li Jingran was a smart person. Otherwise, the few of them wouldn't have been able to take that advantage of Zhan Fei, even if they could see that Zhan Fei's life was better than when they were together, he felt a little uncomfortable inside. Furthermore, in his heart, he still liked Li Jingran, and even if he knew that Li Jingran was hiding something in his heart, he still liked her.

"If that doesn't work, then let's dig up some wild vegetables and eat them together!" Helpless, Li Jingran could only say he dug up some wild vegetables.

"Wild vegetables are especially hard to eat!" Wang Yanyan didn't really like wild vegetables, but she knew that they weren't tasty because last spring when she was farming, she heard from people who didn't have enough food to eat.

"It's not good, we can do that. Are we going to borrow it from the main team?" One must know that we need to repay the loan. If we were to do so, our food this year would be even more insufficient. " Actually, what Li Jingran wanted to say the most was that they would give out the monthly allowance, but she couldn't say that.

"If it doesn't work, then how about we just get a subsidy?" In the end, it was still Wang Yanyan who didn't want to eat wild vegetables, hence she opened her mouth and spoke of the matter of the allowance.

As soon as Wang Yanyan's words came out, Li Tiezhu was the first to speak, "You should also know that my allowance is all reserved for my family. If you guys want to talk about eating allowance, you guys divide your food. I will cook by myself, I can't pay for it, I can't dig for wild vegetables if I don't have enough food, and if I really don't have enough food, I can at most borrow some. It's not that I don't want to be like you guys, it's just my family's condition doesn't allow it!"

Actually, Li Tiezhu's meaning was that if he ate the subsidy, he would eat separately from them. On this point, when Wang Yanyan said that he would eat the subsidy, Li Jingran already felt that Li Tiezhu would not agree, because there were really too many siblings in Li Tiezhu's family, and their family all depended on his father to support their family. Otherwise, Li Tiezhu would probably be distributed to a place relatively close to City B.

But even if Li Jingran knew what Li Tiezhu meant, she still didn't open her mouth. After all, this was a matter that offended people, so it was better for her not to open her mouth, but as long as she didn't open her mouth, the first one to speak would be Wang Yanyan.

Sure enough, as Li Jingran expected, "Li Tiezhu, have you really made up your mind? You must know that if you only rely on that little bit of food, you definitely won't have enough to eat. Even if you dig up wild vegetables, it shouldn't be enough! " Actually, Wang Yanyan didn't have any bad intentions. She was just worried that Li Tiezhu wouldn't be able to eat enough food!
