Chapter 441： word change painting 1

Looking at the man's appearance, Zhao Xiulan guessed that he must be reluctant to eat on weekdays, and he would not be able to eat enough, so the food was saved for his family.

Although it's true to love your daughter-in-law, it's not a solution to continue like this for a long time. Long-term malnutrition can easily break down your body, which can be seen from the man's complexion.

The man was stunned after hearing Zhao Xiulan's words, then nodded and said, "Okay, comrade, I remember, thank you"

Zhao Xiulan left the man's house and was about to do the next business.

On the way, I met a lot of begging people, and it looked really pitiful.

Thinking about it now, the economic and material conditions in Anxian County are obviously much better than those in the northwest.

It is also understandable that, after all, the natural conditions in the northwest are too poor, the soil is not fertile and water is not fertile, and many loess slopes cannot grow any food at all.

Unlike Hui Province, it is a large agricultural province, a land of fish and rice, and has developed agriculture, so there is no special shortage of food.

In the past three years, many places have suffered severe natural disasters, and the famine has spread throughout the country.

The shortage of food on the northwest side is even more serious.

Seeing those hungry and collapsed people leaning against the wall and dying, Zhao Xiulan was very sympathetic.

Other things can't help, but usually when this happens, she will walk over and put two steamed buns.

At least let them fill their stomachs!

"Daughter, thank you, thank you, you are really a living Bodhisattva!"

The person who got the food from Zhao Xiulan quickly thanked him and was grateful.

At this time, even half a bun could save a life.

Zhao Xiulan wandered around again in the black market and made a few more deals.

Some gave money, some gave some jewelry, but each time Zhao Xiulan's transaction volume was not large.

Just as Zhao Xiulan was about to leave, a little boy ran over and said to Zhao Xiulan, "Sister, can I exchange food with you?"

Zhao Xiulan glanced at the little boy who was talking to her. He was about eight or nine years old, and his big eyes were dark and gleaming.

In this unfamiliar Great Northwest, even in the face of a child, Zhao Xiulan is still vigilant, fearing that it will be a trick!

So I replied to the little boy, "I'm sorry, I don't have food to exchange with you!"

The little boy didn't believe it, and continued to say to Zhao Xiulan, "Sister, you lied, you smell like flour!"

The corners of Zhao Xiulan's mouth twitched, this child has such a smart nose?

Could it be a dog's nose?

Seeing that Zhao Xiulan didn't speak, the little boy said anxiously, "Sister, please help me! My grandma is ill, and the food at home was taken away by some cousins. I want to get some food for my grandma!

I don't have any money, but my grandma collected some paintings and calligraphy before, let's see if I can exchange it with you for food! "

The little boy said and opened a package he was carrying.

Zhao Xiulan took a look. These paintings and calligraphy do have some collection value. If you buy them in the 21st century, they can also sell for a good price.

But for food

The little boy didn't say anything after seeing Zhao Xiulan, and thought that Zhao Xiulan was unwilling, and his eyes were suddenly full of loss.

In fact, this is also what he expected. These days, these calligraphy and paintings cannot be eaten as food, and they are no different from rags. Who would be willing to exchange food for them.

But he just wanted to try his luck and see if he could exchange some food. If he was lucky enough to get it, wouldn't he be able to give grandma a bite of rice?

"Sister, please give it to me. You can give as much food as you want. My grandma is sick and really needs a bite of food!" .
