Farming in space: the struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 32 032 Joy and Trouble

After returning home, Mu Yu was in a good mood, and he was always smiling when he was trading with other beggars.

Bo Bo teased her, "What good thing did this happen? Did you find a treasure?"

"That's not true, it's just that we found another piece of weed.

It turned out that there were not many weeds, and I was worried that we would not be able to pick them, but now I don't have to worry about them. "

She said this on purpose. After doing the weed business for so long, it has attracted the attention of Boss Zhao and the others. Instead of asking them to come and ask, she should take the initiative to reveal something and pave the way for the things to be done step by step.

Moreover, after more than half a month of getting to know him, she knew that Brother Bo was a reliable and loyal person, so telling him that there would be no problem.

Sure enough, after Brother Bo heard about it, he also showed joy, and said,
"Then you are really lucky!"

When Yang Erlang came back, Mu Yu also told him the news and shared the joy.

As for the exchange of eggs at the grocery store, she didn't mention it for the time being, and planned to wait until the matter was completed.

……

The next day, Mu Yu changed into yesterday's outfit, tidied up and went to Wangji grocery store with the agreed amount of weeds.

The door of Wangji grocery store was still ajar, she approached, and faintly heard voices coming from inside.

"His aunt, it really can't be any cheaper.

You know the price of grain in the past two years. It has been higher every year. Seeing that this year is another severe drought, the crops in the field can't be counted on at all. So can the price of grain not be high?

It is still good now, it has doubled compared to last year. If you look at it in a few months, it may be doubled again.

At this time, it is too early to say that food prices are expensive.

Besides, I opened this small shop to make money. If it doesn't make money, then I'll just close it. Anyway, I can always survive on the leftover food.

But what about you?

At that time, you will not even have a place to buy food, and you will have money but can't spend it..."

This was the voice of the old man yesterday, followed by the helpless voice of an old woman and the angry voice of a middle-aged man.
"Old Wangtou, don't talk about such nonsense, just say how much food this old hen can exchange!"

"Two catties of stale grain and five catties of bran."

"You! This old hen weighs three to four catties. It's meat, and it's fine to replace it with old food. Bran is not something people eat at all..."

"In this case, you can keep it and eat it at home."

Immediately after that, there was a "bang", the door of the grocery store was pushed open, a middle-aged man walked out with the help of an elderly woman, cursed something in a low voice and gradually walked away.

Mu Yu walked into the door, took out the weeds and put them on the counter beside him, and explained to the old Wangtou the purpose of his visit.

Old Wangtou was holding a sleepy old hen in his hand and looking at it carefully. He was being groped up and down to look at it, but the hen didn't make a sound.

"Okay, Ah Fu, take it down, feed it some old bran grains, and see if it can slow down."

The old Wang looked at Mu Yu and the weeds she brought, and added,
"By the way, get this girl an egg."

Mu Yu looked around and saw a sack that seemed to be containing grain at the corner of the counter. She wanted to ask something, but she just glanced at the old Wangtou who was dozing off and stopped thinking.

This old king's head is not easy to deal with, it's better not to startle the snake, the left and right food can be exchanged from Brother Bo for the time being, and there is no rush at this time.

At this time, the boy came back from the backyard and handed her an egg,
"Here, the eggs you exchanged."

Mu Yu took the egg and nodded his thanks.

Old Wangtou opened his eyes at this time, took the handful of twenty weeds and counted them carefully, and said with a smile,
"Girl, if you have weeds in the future, you can come to the shop to exchange things, not just eggs, we have many other things here.

Even if we don’t have it here, if you tell me, I can find a way to help you get it, old man. "

Mu Yu seemed to have some meaning behind what he said, but he couldn't figure it out for a moment, so he pretended to be ignorant and nodded to deal with the matter.

……

Because she couldn't figure out what the old Wangtou meant, Mu Yu didn't come to the grocery store again in the next few days, she would always be overly cautious in such details.

She didn't eat the eggs right away, but boiled them and shared them with Yang Erlang on the day when the rice was ripe, commemorating the joy of the first harvest.

She is indeed happy, the heavy rice indicates a good harvest, which means that she will have more seeds and a bigger harvest.

In addition, the eggs themselves brought her many surprises. She never thought that simple boiled eggs could have such a good taste.

Compared with her, Yang Erlang is too silent.

He didn't even ask where the eggs came from, he just ate in a muffled voice, as if he had something on his mind.

Mu Yu realized it belatedly.

She usually doesn't ask when other people are in a bad mood, because she understands that at this time most people want to be quiet by themselves and don't have the energy to deal with others.

It's just that Yang Erlang is her only friend in this troubled world, so it's not okay to ignore him and act as if he doesn't know anything.

So she patted Yang Erlang on the shoulder, looked into his eyes sincerely,

"And me, if you encounter any trouble, you can tell me, we can discuss it together, there is no problem that cannot be solved.

Even if it really can't be solved, we can adapt and survive. "

In the last sentence, she said with some emotion.

Man, I am really driven to a dead end, and I can bear all kinds of hardships.

Just like her, more than a month ago, she was an urban white-collar worker who had no worries about food and drink, but turned into a little beggar in troubled times with no food, no drink and no help, and she persisted.

Yang Erlang glanced at her, his eyes were dark and deep, like a bottomless abyss, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

He nodded, but said nothing.

Mu Yu thought about the troubles that Yang Erlang might encounter, there are only a few kinds, one is the problem of food, and the other is the problem of the way out.

The food that Yang Erlang found in recent days is indeed much less than before. Now the two of them live on weeds and Brother Bo’s steamed buns, but they can hold on. Yang Erlang may be under a lot of pressure.

But she is more inclined to another possibility, the problem lies in the "idea" that Yang Erlang admitted before.

Before Yang Erlang brought back the news that beggars in Beishan cannibalized people and the people expelled beggars, it was obvious that they would have no way out.

At that time, she guessed that Yang Erlang had a way to deal with it, but he was still immature. Yang Erlang admitted this, and he seemed to have been making attempts in this regard since then.

The current situation seems to be that Yang Erlang encountered some trouble in the process of trying.

She sighed, Yang Erlang didn't want to say these things, she couldn't guess anything just by guessing, if she has that skill, she might as well do something else.

For example, harvest the mature rice in the mustard space.
