At noon, three tables of food were set up in the main hall, one table was for the whole Liang family and Aunt Ma and others.

One table of food was for the captain and the group of people in charge in the village, and the other table was for those who helped bury Xiao Dingding today.

All the dishes were secretly taken out by Qiqi from the space, and were cooked by Aunt Ma and several women in the village.

Everyone sat together, eating and talking about their future life.

Because of the death of their child, the Liang family was in a bad mood.

Captain Liang Deyi drank a few glasses of wine and then started crying while holding the bottle.

“What’s wrong with you?”

Qiqi looked at him with disdain.

How could I cry in my brother’s house?

The child died, and my brother is crying.

The captain heard Qiqi's question.

Since they were sitting at the next table, he picked up his wine glass and turned around to go to Qiqi's table.

"The New Year is coming soon, and we can't even afford to prepare a decent New Year's Eve dinner for the whole village. I feel so helpless as the team leader!"

"What happened again?"

"What else could it be? Isn't it just that this year is a disaster year? The wheat harvest is small, and there are even fewer beans. How can the people survive? The New Year is just around the corner, and I don't know what those young men in our village will do to get money for the New Year.

There was silence for a while.

difficulty,

This is the huge difficulty we are facing now.

"The drought has left the land poor, and the wheat in the fields has barely grown. It looks like the harvest will still be poor after the New Year."

Liang Deshui took a puff from the old pipe.

"It's almost worrying me to death."

The captain looked at Qiqi and Yan Chenbei.

"Our Chen Bei went to talk to the higher authorities and they were able to allocate another batch of relief grain. But?"

Qiqi didn't say anything else.

"If this is true, it would be a great feeling."

The three most respected old men in the village, Mr. Liang, stood up.

"President Yan is really a great benefactor to our village. However, we should also be tactful. We can't just cling to a big tree and eat its food until it dies."

"This method can only save you temporarily, but not forever."

Yan Chenbei took a long time to say a word.

“It’s really hard to kill myself.”

The captain drank a sip of wine with great pride.

"The current difficulties have not been resolved yet. The higher-ups issued another notice yesterday, saying that we should actively respond to the spirit of the higher-ups and carry out reform and opening up. Everyone should take the first step. I would like to take the first step, but everyone is hungry right now. How can I take the first step?"

When it comes to this topic, the captain is full of complaints.

"I went to a distant market yesterday. A strange thing happened in Huaiyuan County, which is thirty miles away from us."

The water was so cold that it seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"There's no outsider here, just say whatever you want to say."

"I heard from the vegetable vendors there that their county had also been hit by a disaster and people couldn't survive. I don't know where he got this new trick from, but he distributed the land to the farmers and contracted production to each household."

"Let me say whatever I want, but you dare to say that. Can you just say something like that? Isn't that right? You must never say something like that again."

The captain shouted at the cold water and said with envy,

"The land is distributed to individual members, and they can plant whatever they want, and they can also raise pigs and sheep. Who wouldn't want such a good thing? But who dares to do it? It's a matter of life and death."

When the captain said this, everyone was furious.

A young man stood up.

"The whole family is starving to death, why do you still care so much?"

"That's right, share it. Even if you lose your head in the future, you'll still be a well-fed ghost!"

Another young man echoed.

"You are still too young. Don't talk nonsense. You should be steady in everything. We farmers should just think about getting more food every day."

Most of the people at the table in charge were elders from various families who had prestige in the village. When they heard the young man's ignorant words, they all objected.

"That's not just a matter of one person dying. That's a major event that will affect the entire village."

"Patriarch, what era is this?"
