LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 39 39. Buying food
When it comes to how difficult it is in rural areas now, Jia Zhang of Siheyuan has the best say.
When she returned to Lao Jia's hometown, those cousins and uncles, although they didn't kill chickens and ducks, they could still nest an egg in a bowl of white noodles.
But now, there is nothing, so what are you talking about?
But villages like Jiajia Village, where most people have the same surname, are the best these days.
No matter what the policies above are, they should be implemented in the form they should be implemented, and other things can be fooled as long as they can.
The families in Jiajia Village and the Jia Zhang family used this matter to reject the Jia Zhang family.
Everyone knows that these days, Jia Zhang has never come back when she normally begs her to come back.
Why would I choose to go back to Jiajia Village during this lean time?
Naturally, Mrs. Jia Zhang knew what was going on. In fact, Mrs. Jia Zhang did come back for food.
As mentioned before, life for people with a surname like Jiajiacun is the best these days.
The reason is that the leader of the village is also named Jia. Since we are all from the same family, we just turn a blind eye to some things.
For example, every household grows some sweet potatoes, pumpkins, etc. in hidden places. Although there are not many, they can always fill their stomachs.
This is what Jia Zhang wants.
Jia Zhang did not choose to tell the truth at Yi Zhonghai's house that day. After Yi Zhonghai relented, Jia Zhang chose to take money to settle the matter.
Not much, twenty yuan. Jia Zhang's quarrel must not be just for this little reason.
Jia Zhang revealed this matter in front of Yi Zhonghai's daughter-in-law, just so that when she asked Yi Zhonghai for money in the future, Auntie would not object.
And Yi Zhonghai does have his own little calculation. Such difficult days will definitely not last long, and things will always get better.
Now Yi Zhonghai would definitely not be willing to take risks to find food for the Jia family. But if Yi Zhonghai is asked to spend money to buy Ping An, Yi Zhonghai is still willing to do it.
This kind of thing is like this, you can only accept it once or countless times.
When he agreed to accept Jia Dongxu as his apprentice and arranged for Jia Dongxu to enter the factory, in fact, Yi Zhonghai was completely controlled by Jia Zhang.
Later, for Jia Dongxu's marriage and house, he directly plotted against He Daqing, and gave in again.
For so many years, favoring the Jia family in the hospital was also a sign of submission.
There is really no difference between once and ten thousand times.
Of course, when the three of them were bargaining in the house, they didn't expect that Jia Dongxu, who was eavesdropping outside the house, was stunned.
Jia Dongxu didn't want to eavesdrop. He didn't ask for anything at Yi's house, so he went home and talked about it. Unexpectedly, Jia Zhang rushed over with an angry look on his face without saying a word.
Jia Dongxu was afraid that his mother would have a conflict with his master's family, so he followed him over to take a look. But he didn't expect to hear that his father's death was because of Yi Zhonghai. How could he not be shocked?
Jia Dongxu, who just didn't figure it out for the moment, didn't say a word when he went home. Instead, he hid his suspicions in his heart and planned to visit Lao Jia's coworkers again to find out the reason for Lao Jia's accident.
When Mrs. Jia Zhang returned home, she saw that her son didn't look depressed, so she thought he was worried about the family's meal, but didn't take it seriously.
Mrs. Jia Zhang gave Qin Huairu five yuan and asked her to go back to her parents' house to see if she could exchange for some food, sweet potatoes, corn, pumpkins...
Anything you can eat is fine.
Jia Dongxu from Jiajia Village and Qinjia Village had been here before. He gave me a little the first time, but every time he went there he just cried.
But now Jia Zhang asked Qin Huairu to exchange money, which was naturally different.
Jia Zhang, who has experienced the previous dynasty, naturally understands that a place with a surname like Jiajiacun can always have some background. Otherwise, among the yellow men and skinheads at that time, who wouldn’t know how to plunder?
If they were all honest, they wouldn't be alive now. This is the case in Jiajia Village, and naturally the same is true in Qinjia Village.
Jia and Zhang took the commune's donkey cart in the morning. There are many people visiting relatives and friends in neighboring suburbs now, so it's nothing unusual.
Jia Zhang didn't get lunch in Jiajia Village, so she wasn't angry. He just turned around and walked to a few remote places outside the village.
After all, it was a place where several members of the family were secretly growing things, and a few old Jia's cousins had no choice but to follow them.
What can you do if you meet someone like Jia Zhang?
It was obvious that since Jia Zhang could be found, he could also lead others to find her.
It would be fine if the villagers knew about it, but if it was revealed to the commune, it would be a big disaster.
Jia Zhang stood in front of a piece of sweet potato field and sneered without saying a word.
A cousin of Lao Jia next to him was laughing so hard that his scalp went numb. However, under the push of several family members nearby, he walked to Jia Zhang's side. He said uneasily: "Brothers and sisters, it's not that we don't care about you. These things are all the people in the village waiting to save. If I give them to you, someone in the village will go hungry."
Jia Zhang glanced sideways at the family members, put away her smile, and sighed: "Brother, I don't want to either. It's just that when old Jia left early, I worked hard to raise Dongxu up, and gave him a chance to live in the city. When I started a family and started a business, I never asked my uncles for help.
But now, our family is starving to death. If not you uncles and uncles, who should we ask for?
Is it possible to die holding them together? "
Jia Zhang's last sentence was very serious and the meaning was very clear. Either give them food or hold them together until death.
Jia Dongxu's cousin also walked back and muttered for a while, and then he seemed to have reached a consensus. He walked forward and followed Jia Zhang and said, "We will collect ten kilograms of cornmeal, twenty kilograms of sweet potatoes, and two old pumpkins for you. This is the most we can do, brothers and sisters, do you think we can do it?"
Ms. Jia Zhang estimated that this amount of food could only feed the whole family for a week.
These days, the key is to have no oil or water, so they are all very edible. For example, in later generations, a small bowl of rice would make you full. That was because there was enough oil and water, plus other snacks, and there was no physical work involved.
Nowadays, even a child can hold more than one bowl of the big ocean bowl that is as big as a human head.
For example, Jia Zhang estimated that he could eat it for more than a week, plus Jia Dongxu's ration.
Originally, a person like Jia Dongxu was given a ration of 45 kilograms a month for heavy physical work. But these two years have been difficult for everyone, with three losses and four losses, leaving only 28 pounds.
There are only 30% fine grains in it, and the rest are various coarse grains.
28 pounds, one pound a day, is not enough for even Jia Dongxu, let alone the rest of the family.
Therefore, it is necessary to exchange the fine grain stamps for coarse grains, and then buy some.
Every household at the bottom is like this.
