Chapter 189 The Village Chief's Request

Seeing this, the village chief didn't feel sorry for the waste of so much food at Fujiko's house, but was happy instead.

Seeing such a rich meal, the village head did not refuse any more, and sat down to eat together.

The village chief thought that even if he was added alone, he would not be able to finish all the food, but he was wrong. The whole family could really eat, let alone a grain of rice, and there was not even soup left.

The little one next to him is more edible than him.

After the meal, the village chief didn't speak until Jian Qingling and Mumu took away the dishes from the dinner table.

"Fujiko, uncle has something I want to ask you for help."

"Village chief please tell me."

"Fujiko, you often run outside, you must meet a lot of people." The village head asked with a smile.

Mu Ziteng: Embarrassed face.
He only walked outside occasionally, let alone made friends, but he would not say such a shameful thing.

The village chief didn't wait for Muziteng's answer, and continued, "Tengzi, I don't think your family is short of food. You should have a way to get food." With the way of eating today, his family is definitely not worried. There is not enough food.

"The village chief wants me to help you get food?" Mu Ziteng understood.

"Yes." The village head was happy, and he was worried that Fujiko would not answer his words, and he would just answer.

"How much does the village chief want? The village chief should have guessed the way I got the food, right?"

Mu Ziteng looked at the village chief, saw him nodding, and then continued, "If the quantity is not large, I can get it for you, but now there is a shortage of food everywhere, and the price on the black market must be very high."

"What's the price?"

It's not that he hasn't inquired about the black market. The village head asked his eldest son to go and see it. The price is really expensive, but there is no way to do it. People will die if they don't eat.

It's just that as soon as someone sells the grain in the black market, they will be scrambled for it immediately. His eldest son can't rob others at all.

I heard that those who manage the black market have more or less goods in their hands, but unfortunately they don't know anyone in the black market.

"Now rice and wheat are fried for two yuan and five yuan a catty, and it is difficult to find them in the market. Occasionally, you can find wheat, and corn is one yuan and five yuan a catty. This is quite common. Do you want sweet potatoes? This is cheap, three cents A catty of money."

When Jian Qingling heard the words of the village chief, she went to the black market in the county town with her mental strength. It was also a coincidence that when she looked over, she happened to see someone making an offer.

The price of food has risen almost tenfold.

Hearing the price, the village chief's expression was as if he had swallowed poop. Even if he knew the price of some grains before, it still couldn't change his heartache.

"Does the village chief want more? If so, I will go to the black market in the county town tomorrow to ask if there is any food left?"

"Yes, no matter how expensive it is, I have to buy it. The family is almost out of food." Now even the wild vegetables on the mountain are almost plucked.

The village chief said cruelly: "Tengzi, if you have food to buy when you go out tomorrow, you can buy me two hundred catties of corn and five hundred catties of sweet potatoes."

"Why did the village head buy so much? This is not a small sum of money." How about four or five hundred, how can the village head's family come up with so much at one time?

"Hehe, this is not just my family's." Their family has struggled for so many years, and their total savings are not so much.

He had previously discussed with a few families in the village that he would go out to risk buying grain, but unfortunately the eldest son did not buy it, and fortunately he was not in danger.

Fujiko came back in time, he was familiar with the black market, if he was willing to help, it would save a lot of trouble.

"Okay." Mu Ziteng agreed.

Father Mu could only listen and didn't say anything. He wanted to help the village chief speak, but he was also afraid of affecting his son. Can anyone enter the black market casually?If he is not careful, he will be arrested. Fortunately, the youngest of his family has some skills. If nothing else, he can rest assured that he can use his lightness skills.

The village head left and went back to get the money.

"Third brother, be careful when you go to the black market tomorrow. Food is scarce everywhere now. I don't know how those people will fight for it. If you can't beat it, you give up. You don't need to hurt yourself for outsiders." Mufu reminded worriedly .

"Understood, Dad, I have a sense of proportion, so don't worry." Hearing Mu Fu's words made him feel at ease.

"It's good that you know how to measure." Mu Mu looked at Mu Mu and said, "Old lady, the two of us should eat less in the future."

Wooden mother nodded.

Mu Ziteng and Jian Qingling looked at each other and sighed.

"Grandpa, why do you want to eat less?" Mo Han didn't understand the meaning of his grandfather's words for a moment, and there was no shortage of food at home.

"Because your grandparents ate too much and gained too much weight." Father Mu was aggrieved.

Mo Han understood the meaning of his grandfather's words this time, so he stopped talking.

"Hey, every household in the village can't get enough to eat now. Everyone looks yellow and thin. Just me and your father have rosy faces and are full of energy all day long. We are not fat, but standing with those people, we are just two fat people. , In the first two days after we came back, the villagers saw us and said that life in the city was easy and we had to support people, but since yesterday, some villagers have started to look at us with dark eyes."

The current life of their family is too dazzling in the village.

"At first we didn't know what was going on, but the village chief reminded us when he was on the road just now." Alas... It's really getting better and better, why didn't he think of this problem?

The old couple seldom appeared in front of the villagers, so they didn't attract others' attention, but he and his wife were different. They still had to go to work and had contact with the villagers every day. Their physical signs were so obvious.

I hope that the two of them will not cause trouble to the third child's family.

"Father and mother, why don't we move to the city." Although the situation in the city may not be very good, it is not as serious as in the countryside.

He didn't want the second elder to make himself hungry in order to cater to the life of the village, and his family couldn't afford it.

"No, we have lost two months of centimeters before, and if we continue to ask for leave, we will not get any food." Mu Mu retorted without thinking.

Xiaoling was in confinement before and needed her to take care of her. Now Xiaoling can handle the family affairs by herself, so it is unreasonable for her to ask for leave and not go to work.

"Mother, you're still thinking about food distribution. Look at this year's situation, so don't think about it."

"This…"

Of course she knew that there was not much food to share, but if she didn't go to work, she would have nothing at all. The two elders couldn't always rely on the third to support them.

She was startled when she heard the price quoted by Xiaoling just now, food is so expensive now, it will cost a lot of money after a year, and it is not easy for the third child to earn money.
