Chapter 457

"Bei Nian, don't disappoint Nan Bao's father's wishes. You have to eat up the whole bowl of sweet and sour fish I gave you."

Ji Beinian led Mu Nannan to sit on the stone bench. He was in a good mood and even talked more:
"Don't worry, Grandma Ma, I will definitely finish eating the fish you cooked."

Ma Yuehong smiled happily and narrowed her eyes:
"That's good."

"Grandma Ma likes edible dolls."

Her cooking skills are superb, and the village almost always asks her to cook for funeral or wedding banquets.

Mu Nannan and Mu Tian followed her and ate white flour buns and meat throughout the year.

Ma Yuehong stood by the stone table for a long time, Jian and the two little dolls ate deliciously with their bowls in their hands, before returning to the kitchen to make the family's breakfast.

Breakfast for adults is much simpler.

Simply boil a pot of water and sprinkle some corn grits, some wild vegetables and green vegetables in it, and then sprinkle a handful of salt, wait for the soup in the pot to boil again, take a bowl, put a bowl for each person, that is a dozen mouthfuls People's breakfast.

"Grandma, it's corn grits porridge again!"

"There's only one bowl, it's not enough to drink at all."

Mu Sheng swallowed the slightly salty and tasteless vegetable porridge, and complained in a low voice.

The family has eaten the same breakfast for five or six days in a row, and at the age of eating a lot, he is not only not full, but also tired of eating.

He is so tired that he will probably run away when he sees corn grits and vegetable porridge.

"What are you complaining about? It's good to eat something!"

Zhang Chunmei tapped him on the head with chopsticks:
"Our family is good enough to have breakfast. Go out and look at other villagers' homes. Which one of them has food in the morning? Don't they all boil a pot of boiling water, and the family can drink some water to satisfy their hunger."

"The crops in the field are withered and yellow. It seems that the autumn harvest is almost over, and there is not a single corn cob on the corn stalk!"

"The harvest is not good this year, and the other villagers don't have much food, so they only eat the lunch one three times a day!"

"Our family is the best. We cook three meals a day as usual, and we can eat sixty percent of our fullness every meal. You, a brat who doesn't know the sufferings of the world, dare to despise your grandma's food."

"I'm so mad at you, mother."

She hated iron and steel and tugged Mu Sheng's ear.

This child is not sensible at all. Didn't he see how hard everyone's life is now? !
The land that has not rained for several months has started to dry up. After listening to Mu Baoguo's reminder, the villagers who went out to buy food and save food are mostly frustrated and returned without success.

Even Goudan'er can't get food.

The Mu family still has some money and contacts, but if Boss Mu and the others can get some food, half their lives will be wasted.

The villagers in the village are ordinary people, and those who are poor can spend 100 yuan are the richest.

They have no money and no power, how can they get food?
Mu Sheng rubbed his sore ear and remained silent.

His mother taught him right.

The current period is so difficult, it would be nice to have a bite to eat, but he is still picky and picky.

Others at the dinner table were also afraid of silence.

The people in the village can't eat, and they can see the rapid weight loss.

They are all people who have been in the same village for decades, not without sadness or sympathy.

But, after all, people have to live for themselves and their families.

The food they secretly stored was barely enough for the dozen or so families to supply for a year, and it was the kind that could only be used sparingly if they ate six percent a day.

The world is so difficult that they can only take care of their own family.

When the atmosphere was sluggish, Ji Beinian suddenly said:

"Grandma Ma, Grandpa Mu, I have known for the past two days that our village is short of water and food, and the life of the villagers is very difficult."

"However, my parents have already purchased a batch of more than 5000 catties of grain from other provinces. It is expected that this batch of grain will be sold in department stores tomorrow."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Baoguo asked excitedly:
"Bei Nian, do you say it's true?"

"Well, it's true."

Ji Beinian nodded and said:
"The reason why my parents didn't come here to eat with me today is because they went to other provinces to collect food."

"Great, great!"

Mu Baoguo patted his thigh excitedly.

He is the captain of the village and has a lot of responsibilities on his shoulders.

Seeing the villagers getting thinner day by day, and the hungry can only drink water, he felt the worst.

Several times, he had the urge to give half of the food saved at home.

From birth to old age, he lived in the small village of Taoji Village.

It can be said that most of the villagers in Taoji Village are very familiar with him.

Familiar friends are starving in pain and suffering, but he, the captain, hides at home and eats three meals a day. This kind of psychological suffering and guilt has kept him awake at night for a long time.

The news brought by Ji Beinian undoubtedly temporarily relieved the heavy weight in his heart.

"Bei Nian, there is a shortage of food all over the country now, where did your parents buy the food?"

Ma Yuehong suddenly asked suspiciously.

Ji Beinian hesitated for a while, but said truthfully:

"The channel to buy food was contacted by my teacher."

"My teacher used to be a big man in Kyoto, and he had a lot of connections. I guess he must have used these connections."

Mu Nannan, who was sitting next to him, heard the word teacher, couldn't help pulling him down, and asked quietly:

"Little brother, has your teacher been transferred to our side?"

She remembered clearly that the condition for the little brother to go to that school was to transfer his teacher here from the big ranch with difficult conditions.

"No."

"what?!"

Hearing Ji Beinian's answer, Mu Nannan let out a cry of surprise, and then became angry again:
"Little brother, did the principal of your school lie to you? He has no ability to transfer your teacher over!"

She thought it must be the reason.

They all thought about going to the principal for an explanation, but Ji Beinian shook his head and said:

"No."

"On the first day I entered school, the principal wrote a letter of recommendation in front of me. That letter of recommendation was enough to transfer the teacher away from the ranch, but what I didn't expect was that the teacher who received the letter of recommendation sent the letter to Torn."

Mu Nannan was stunned before he recovered his voice:
"why?"

Why did you tear up the letter of recommendation?
She had heard that the little brother had talked about the suffering his teacher had suffered in the ranch, which was simply unbearable for human beings.

Since the letter of recommendation can keep him away from the place where he is treated as livestock, why not? !

Ji Beinian pursed his lower lip before saying:

"Because the teacher said that he didn't want me to rescue him from that place and let him go out of the ranch. There is only one possibility, and that is, this world can give him justice."
