In famine years, the whole country is hiding from drought corpses. I have space and I am worthy of i

At that time, the village collected money and went to the town to make purchases. What did you do? I tell you, if you dare to make trouble again, don't blame me for falling out. " Mrs. Chen was also angry. This person was simply unreasonable.

"I...I..." Aunt Ma Liu knew she was in the wrong, but now she was hesitating and speechless.

Li Zheng and others arrived and pulled Aunt Ma Liu away. Mrs. Chen angrily arranged her clothes, pointed at Aunt Ma Liu and cursed: "Li Zheng, you don't care, why are there such unreasonable people? I said My family didn’t sell food, and she kept dragging me down.”

Li Zheng looked at Aunt Ma Liu, looking at her seriously and with a scrutinizing gaze. Aunt Ma Liu was a little scared and lowered her eyelids, not daring to look at Li Zheng.

"From Ma Liu's family, I remember you said before that you will not buy food or help everyone build the wall. What's going on now?" Li Zheng said seriously.

Aunt Ma Liu lowered her head and muttered in a low voice: "Well...isn't there nothing we can do? At that time, we didn't know that the price of food in the city would rise. If I had known that, I would not have bought the food. of......"

"You still dare to mention this matter. I asked you if you didn't want it before, and I agreed to your family. What's going on now? Have you forgotten what you said?" Li Zheng became more and more angry as he spoke. When he said the last sentence, his voice changed. It was a few degrees higher, causing people around to look at it frequently.

Aunt Ma Liu also felt embarrassed and retorted in a low voice: "It's not like I won't give you money."

"No, what did you say, the price of food has increased?" Li Zheng finished venting his anger, and then realized what the other party had just said, and asked immediately.

"The price has increased. Food is so expensive now. Even if you have money, you can't buy a few kilograms..." Aunt Ma Liu said here, her voice gradually became quieter, and she didn't dare to raise her head.

"How many exactly?" Satozheng asked with a frown.

"Coarse grains, coarse grains are eighty cents per catty." Aunt Ma Liu raised her head and spoke aggrievedly.

"What?! How is it possible? Black rice and black noodles cost only a few cents and sell for eighty cents. Why don't they go and grab it!" As soon as Aunt Ma Liu finished speaking, Aunt Cuihua became furious.

"Yes, it's true. People are snatching up the 300-meter white flour, which costs more than [-] yuan per kilogram." Aunt Ma Liu said again.

Mrs. Chen picked up the broom next to her and greeted her without saying a word: "I asked you why you came to my house to buy food for no reason. You saw the price of food in the town rising and you couldn't afford it yourself, so you came to trick my old lady. ."

"You want to buy my brown rice for four cents, and I'll give you one cent for every pound, and I'll give you one hundred cents for one hundred pounds. It's really a good idea."

When everyone heard this, they were very disdainful of Aunt Ma Liu's behavior. How long had it been since she wanted to buy other people's food and didn't even show sincerity? It was really petty.

Li Zheng did not participate in their quarrel. Instead, he pondered: "The price of food has risen so much?"

The reason why he asked everyone to go to the town to buy food was just in case. Unexpectedly, just a few days after the new year, chaos broke out in the city.

"Li Zheng, thanks to you this time, otherwise my old lady would have sold the food at home for money, and she might have starved to death."

Mrs. Chen looked at Li Zheng, her eyes were red. She was an old woman, and without Li Zheng's help, she would definitely have been bullied. This was all thanks to Li Zheng.

Li Zheng patted her on the shoulder and comforted her: "Aunt Chen, it's okay. People in our village will live well."

"Yeah, yeah." Mrs. Chen sighed, her eyes filled with tears.

"Okay, Ma Liu's family, since you have money in your hands, go to the town to grab some food and come back. Eighty cents is eighty cents. After all, life is more important. Otherwise, if you wait a few more days, even eight hundred cents may not be enough." Buy a pound of grain."

Li Zheng persuaded him earnestly, thinking that his family should go to the town to buy food first, and then his own family would evenly distribute some for their family. Unexpectedly, after hearing what Li Zheng said, Aunt Ma Liu not only did not feel anything, but instead cursed:

"It's okay if you don't help, but you still ask us to go to the town to buy such expensive food. I really think I'm begging you to sell food. We are all from the same village. We have lived together for so many years. I didn't expect you to be so cold-blooded." , white-eyed wolf."

"Who are you talking about?" Mrs. Chen was angry. She picked up the broom and wanted to beat Aunt Ma Liu, but Li Zheng hurriedly stopped her.

"Okay, okay, everyone, please calm down, Ma Liu's family. Anyway, I'll leave it here. Whether you live or die is up to you. Now that we're gone, let's go."

Li Zheng asked everyone to leave, and then asked people to help Shen Nan and his family find men to build a wall. Since he had agreed to the other party, he must get this matter done as soon as possible, otherwise it would not be possible if there was real chaos.

"Li Zheng, since everyone is ready, try not to go out during this period. After all, we don't know when that thing will come out."

Li Zheng nodded and told everyone to pay attention to safety and ask all the women to return to their homes. If there is an emergency and they need to go out, they must go out in groups of three or five people.

Immediately, people moved the unused red and blue bricks to the cart, and invited more than [-] strong laborers to come over and pull the bricks to Shen's house at the west end of the village, so that they could help build the wall.

Ma Liu came back. Obviously he also knew about this, and he also used a lot of things to exchange for more than 100 kilograms of grain from other villages, and carried it back with a heavy load.

Aunt Ma Liu was so happy that she almost cried when she saw so much food. She quickly asked her boss to take her out to exchange for more food.

Uncle Ma Liu was puzzled and looked at her suspiciously. Only then did Aunt Ma Liu tell the truth.

When Uncle Ma Liu heard this, he slapped her angrily and cursed angrily: "You don't sell grain when you do, but you sell it at this time. Do you want to kill me and my mother? You have been married to our family for six years. Forget it if you have nothing to do, now you want to kill me and my mother alive, you vicious woman."

Aunt Ma Liu was beaten until she was stunned and could only shed tears. Uncle Ma Liu was trembling with anger, but thinking that the other party was his daughter-in-law, he told her to take care of the house, and he went out again carrying a basket.

Every household in the village was busy. Those who had land quickly cleared the open space in front of and behind their houses and planted easy-to-live vegetables.

The same goes for the Shen family. While everyone was working for their own family, Nian and Shen Nan prepared meals for everyone.

Xu Qi helped Shen Nan, and Sanwa took Ji Ye to help his uncles.

Shen Yue had nothing to do and peeled out several bags of dried beans bought at home.

At that time, in order to save money, they bought shelled beans, including red beans, mung beans and yellow beans. Now she peels the beans and puts them into the space. When she wants to eat, she can take them out, which is very convenient.

It was approaching noon, and the uncles were also tired. It happened that the Shen family's meals had been prepared. Shen Nan hurriedly moved the tables. There was only an eight-person table and a four-person small table in the house.
