Dressed as an old woman, I carry the system and my son to escape the famine

In a short period of time, Yao Shu would not be walking around to check in. She would settle down first. She also wanted to live a peaceful life for a few days. In this case, she could not provide any more food.

The current crisis can only be solved by everyone themselves.

Seeing that the village chief was still waiting for her answer, Yao Shu could only say.

"Everyone goes to the mountains to look for food together, or goes to the city to buy some food. I remember that there is no shortage of food in Zhangzhou City."

She has recently planned to go to the city to buy food. She can always make money if she thinks of a way. There is no need to save on food. She is not willing to treat herself badly.

However, the answer she gave was not what the village chief wanted.

It is the twelfth lunar month of winter, and there is not much to eat in the mountains. The nearby mountains and forests are not only theirs. Even if there is food, it has been picked by the villagers in the surrounding villages.

"Sister-in-law, there is too little food in the mountains to fill everyone's stomachs. As for the price of food in the city, it is too expensive. We don't have a few pennies in our pockets. Even if we spend it all to buy food, we won't be able to sustain the harvest in the fields. .”

The village chief sighed very much, not to mention that they have not yet reclaimed the wasteland, and it is not yet time for the spring flowers to bloom and sow seeds.

He looked at Yao Shu expectantly, hoping that the other party could give him a solution.

I have to say that everyone is too dependent on Yao Shu now.

Yao Shu didn't know what to say about this, but she didn't cause this situation herself. If she hadn't done this, the Shen family would not have the status they have today in Dahe Village.

However, this time she didn't plan to interfere without permission.

The days of fleeing are over, and everyone has to start a new life. It is serious to find a way to settle down and build a career by one's own ability.

"Then go to the city and see if you can find any work. Everyone has to make a living, right?"

Looking into Yao Shu's deep eyes, the village chief suddenly understood, yes, everyone should start a new life.

They were able to support themselves in the past, but it makes no sense that they just changed places and couldn't even eat.

The village chief couldn't help but feel guilty. Just now he was expecting Yao Shu to bring out the food as usual. This was really, he was really ashamed of Yao Shu.

"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I'm confused."

"You are worrying too much about everyone's affairs. Don't be too hard on yourself. We have all walked out of the desert. After all, everyone will not starve to death."

Really, there is always something to eat in the mountains and forests, grass roots and tree bark.

Yao Shu said nothing more when she saw that the village chief's eyes had regained clarity. As long as the village chief could still remain rational, she didn't have to worry about the villagers making trouble.

Although she helped everyone a lot, it doesn't mean that she is a kind person.

She didn't want someone to come to her door and ask for food.

Yao Shu didn't spend too much time thinking about this matter. She left for the city the next day. This time she was accompanied by Shen Ru. As for Shen Nanshan and his son, she stayed behind to build a house.

After several days, construction on the Shen family's house finally started.

Their family has a lot of strong labor, and things are done very quickly, not to mention there are people to help.

But those who do physical work consume a lot of food quickly, and naturally they eat a lot of food. Not to mention the Shen family, Yao Shu will not treat her own family badly, and she must give the person who comes to help a meal no matter what. Full meal.

Other people in the village exchange help with each other, so there is no talk of food and reward. But what kind of virtue the Shen family is, Yao Shu knows very well that they are not willing to do such heavy physical work as building a house. In this case, in order to prevent everyone from Han Xin was dissatisfied, she couldn't take care of everyone's meal.

The reward is not expensive.

Because of these circumstances, their food disappeared very quickly, and Yao Shu also entered the city a few days earlier than originally planned.

They now have household registration and can easily move into the city.

"Mom, where are we going?"

Shen Ru didn't know where to go next. Zhangzhou City was still a strange place to her, so she couldn't help but feel a little timid, and she looked a little shy and shy.

"Go to the east street and have a look."

Yao Shu had already made a plan in her mind. The last time she walked around the city, she had memorized the general directions, but now it came in handy.

Her main purpose this time was to buy food. If possible, she would also like to buy a catty of pork and let everyone eat meat. After so long, she was also a little greedy for meat.

The mother and daughter walked inconspicuously among the crowd. They were dressed decently, and the locals were not well off.

The northwest is a remote place and has nothing to do with wealth.

When she walked to the street, there was a big sign with the word "Liang" hanging in front of her. When Yao Shu walked to the door and was about to go in, she felt Shen Ru pause beside her for a moment.

It's like he didn't dare to step forward.

Ultimately, this appearance was a sign of lack of confidence. Shen Ru had no money in her pocket, and she didn't know how much money Yao Shu had. Judging from the expenses spent on the escape, their family probably didn't have much money left.

They say money makes people bold, but she doesn't have the guts to buy anything now.

"Stand now, let's go in and buy food in a dignified manner. The store only welcomes us."

Yao Shu whispered to Shen Ru.

She came here with a purpose. She had already found out the price of food in Zhangzhou City last time. This time she wanted to discuss with the boss to see if the price could be lowered.

After all, there are so many people in Dahe Village, so her idea is not impossible.

But if you want to discuss business with someone, first of all, your momentum must not be weak, so she would say this to Shen Ru specifically.

After being talked about by her mother, Shen Ru immediately straightened her back and walked forward. If you look carefully, you can find that her every move is very similar to Yao Shu, and she obviously learned it deliberately.

After Yao Shu stepped into the grain store, she looked at the various grains carefully, and the first glance almost made her stop holding them.

In just a short time, the price of food has actually increased.

Even brown rice costs eight cents a liter, which is too expensive. If the Shen family were allowed to eat freely, this liter of rice would not be enough for their family.

The sudden increase in food prices almost disrupted Yao Shu's plan. Fortunately, her purpose has not changed. She still has to find a way to negotiate the price with the shopkeeper.

"I want to buy more food. Can you invite your shopkeeper over?"

"Madam, how much do you want? Don't worry, there is enough food in the store."

The waiter said very politely.

Their family is a famous grain store, and there is plenty of food in the warehouse.

"About five shi of food."

Yao Shu gave a rough value. Everyone always needs to buy food for the winter. As long as the price is right, she believes that everyone will not miss this opportunity.
