Siheyuan: I Raised Ten Thousand Wild Boars

Chapter 143 4 Courtyard Disaster Prevention

Due to the further reduction in the quantity, every household in the courtyard house has almost reached the end of its rope.

Yan Family

"Dad, do you want to starve me to death? I haven't paid you back the three hundred yuan yet!" Yan Jiecheng couldn't help but complain as he looked at the bowl of porridge in front of him, which could be used as a mirror.

He now has to hand over more than ten yuan to his family every month. He is the only heavy laborer in the family besides Yan Bugui.

"Jiecheng, some of the food we have is pretty good. The Wang family in the backyard and the Xie family in the middle yard have all run out of food. What else do you want to eat?" Yan Bugui said with a sigh.

In just over half a year, he looked older, with dark yellow skin and gray hair.

"Dad, I'm hungry and want to eat some steamed bread!"

"Dad, I'm hungry too!"

The youngest son Yan Jiekuang and the youngest daughter Yan Jiedi finished their bowls in no time and then started crying.

"Jie Kuang, Jie Di, be good. People can't eat too much. Eating until 70% full is just right. Otherwise, you won't live long!" Yan Bugui coaxed.

But she had no intention of sharing her share with her two children, and the same went for the third aunt.

The Yan family has its own rules, that is, you can only eat your own share and not eat other people's. If you have the ability, go out and find food.

The food in the house was carefully calculated by Yan Bugui. As long as they didn't starve to death, they could always get by.

"Dad, I don't want to live that long. I want to die a gluttonous ghost!" Yan Jiedi opened her eyes wide and said seriously.

In fact, he didn't understand what it meant to live longer, let alone what it meant to be a glutton. She was just simply hungry, and she often heard people say that being a glutton would fill her up.

"Be good, girl. Dad will go and exchange for coarse grains tomorrow, and we will have a full meal at home!"

Yan Bugui was completely devastated, but there was nothing he could do. He had already spent all his energy to support his family.

He originally wanted to go to the river to catch some fish and bring them back to feed the children.

Who knew that when we got to the other side of the moat, there were more people fishing than fish in the river, so it would be a miracle if we could catch any fish.

Backyard Liu Family

The food in Liu Haizhong has been declining again and again. The days of eating scrambled eggs and drinking a little wine are gone forever.

First, eggs were hard to buy and the price was sky-high. Second, his ration was reduced from 40 kilograms to 30 kilograms. If it weren’t for the filial piety of his disciples, he would not have been able to eat enough.

"I'm going to beat you two little bastards to death. You eat and drink my food, and even steal things at home!" Liu Haizhong cursed while beating his two sons.

Maybe because both sides were hungry, the one who was fighting was too weak to fight, and the one who was beaten was too lazy to even hide.

"Dad, I'm hungry!" Liu Guangtian cried.

"You're hungry and I didn't give you food. You actually stole my food. If I died in the factory, you would have enough to eat for the rest of your life!" Liu Haizhong said angrily.

No wonder he was angry. Second Aunt made ten steamed buns tonight. Liu Haizhong ate four because he had to work hard in the factory. Second Aunt and her two sons ate two each because they didn't have to work.

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu were not full, so they came up with a bad idea. They used a kitchen knife to cut off the lower half of the steamed corn bread and ate it.

Liu Haizhong is just uneducated, not stupid. He felt it as soon as he got it.

Especially when he thought that the Yan family had four children and could buy tofu dregs, but his own family had not enough children and could not even buy tofu dregs, he became even more angry.

"Dad, go ahead and beat us. Beat us to death and then your brother will come back!" When Liu Guangtian saw that Old Liu was serious, he immediately started poking his father in the lungs again.

"You, you, you!" Liu Haizhong felt dizzy and angry when he heard this. How could he have raised such three babies?

"Boss, you can't get into trouble. If you get into trouble, how are we going to survive?"

The Liu family was in chaos again.

……

Jia family

There was a large bowl of cornmeal porridge and a bowl of salted radish on the table, with two lunch boxes next to them. The family sat around the table eating.

"This idiot Zhu is getting more and more outrageous. How come there is not even a drop of oil and water today? Look, my cabbage has become thinner!" Jia Zhang picked up a large chopstick of cabbage and cursed.

"Mom, it's good enough to have something to eat! I heard that the factory's small kitchen is only of this standard, and the reception meal hasn't been prepared for half a month." Qin Huairu heard that Jia Zhangshi ate Sha Zhu's food and scolded Sha Zhu, and she was worried that someone would hear it.

"Mom, that's useless of you. I saw others eating meat last time!" Banggeng said dissatisfiedly.

"Snapped!"

Bang Geng was hit on the head with a chopstick.

"Did you call him Shazhu? Call me Shashu next time!" Jia Dongxu said in a bad mood.

The greatest insult to a man is that he cannot support his family. Not only can he not support his family, but he also has to rely on someone who is jealous of his wife. It is strange that he can be in a good mood.

Sha Zhu knew that there was something wrong with the way he looked at his wife, but there was nothing he could do as he had to go on with his life.

Master Yi Zhonghai, his current monthly ration is just enough for his own food and cannot support himself much.

As for Sha Zhu, as the team leader and head chef of the cafeteria, he would just taste the saltiness of the dishes every day to get full. As for his own quota, he could never finish it.

That’s not all. Every day there are some reasonable leftovers in the kitchen that can be taken back. Who can I complain to?

Who cares? Who dares to mess with him? The new factory director Yang thinks highly of him, the logistics director Li coaxes him, and countless people below him curry favor with him. They would even fight for the swill in the kitchen.

"Hey, Dongxu, don't hit the child even if you are in a bad mood!"

Jia Zhang quickly pulled the stick over and rubbed the place where he had been hit.

Qin Huairu didn't dare to say anything, because she felt a little betrayed by Jia Dongxu when Sha Zhu touched her hands every day. But don't say it, it's a little exciting to think about it when you have nothing to do.

Yi Zhonghaijia

"Old man, we don't know what the days ahead will be like. How do you think we should get through it?" said an aunt dejectedly.

When it comes to food and drink, the Yi family should be the best in the whole hospital, but without children, they have no confidence in doing anything.

"Well, I'll think of a way!" Yi Zhonghai nodded and said.

Yesterday, Jia Dongxu came to him again to complain that the family was not well fed and that the two children cried and refused to sleep at night.

This number one pension player is really a bottomless pit that is difficult to fill.

As for the second retirement player, Sha Zhu, Yi Zhonghai could only smile bitterly.

Ever since what happened with Chen Lili, this guy has been blaming me. Now if I don't look for him, he won't look for me either. It's really a headache.

"Old man, isn't Li Guohua on the farm now? What do you think about asking him to help everyone in the yard?" asked an aunt.

"Li Guohua? You'd better not have any ideas about him. He has taken his sister away, which means he doesn't want to have any more contact with the hospital."

"I heard that the southern provinces and cities have already started harvesting corn. Tomorrow, Zhuzi, Dongxu and I will call a few young people in the yard and go there together. We can at least get a few hundred kilograms of grain!"

Siheyuan is now in the most difficult time, and it is also the time for him to win the hearts and reputation of the people. If he can accomplish this, everyone will only be grateful to him.
