Xu Junqiang yelled for a long time, but no one answered him.

"Tsk, where did this person go? She usually doesn't leave the door of the house, like an aunt, but now I can't find her."

Xu Junqiang said impatiently that he had been angry recently, and it was the time when he was not feeling well and had a big temper.

"Stop shouting. Your sister went out with your mother early in the morning. I don't know what the two of them were doing. They haven't come back yet."

Xie Chunjiao only leaned out half of her body from the kitchen, and said to Xu Junqiang.

She also has something to worry about. There is not much food left at home. If she eats like this now, she can last at most three days.

"Let me tell you, there is really not much cornmeal at home. From now on, we have to drink it with thin soup and water, or else we will be hungry before the cornmeal grows in the ground."

Xie Chunjiao didn't dare to eat and drink like before. Even if the adults are hungry, the children below can't be hungry too.

"You can figure it out, I don't know anything about cooking."

Xu Junqiang replied casually, his thoughts were all on those experts, and he didn't care how much cornmeal was left at home, and how many meals he could eat. He subconsciously thought that those were the things Xie Chunjiao should worry about.

"Okay, then let's drink thinner today, I told you, don't lose your temper then."

Xie Chunjiao doesn't dare to quarrel with Xu Jun now, this time is not like usual, and now some things are happening in the family one after another, in order to let the children live well, she has to be careful.

"Understood, don't ramble."

Xu Junqiang waved his hand. He was thinking about something and didn't want Xie Chunjiao to disturb him.

Seeing that he didn't care, Xie Chunjiao shrank back into the kitchen and stopped talking to him.

Xu Qiumeng was carrying a small basket, and when he and Wang Lanying came back from the outside, they saw Xu Junqiang sitting in the yard.

"Mother, where did you take Qiu Meng? I can't even find her."

Seeing Wang Lanying, Xu Junqiang couldn't help opening his mouth to complain.

"There is not much food at home, so Qiumeng and I went to the field to look for wild vegetable roots, so we can hold on anyway."

Wang Lanying seemed to have aged a lot overnight. She no longer tried her best to find out about Li Xiuzhi, and she no longer cursed people as soon as she opened her mouth like before.

Facing her son's questioning, her tone was extremely calm. Now that she is old, she just wants to live her life in peace, and doesn't want to toss with the young man anymore.

Wang Lanying was really afraid that one day, her old bones would be broken in the hands of these children.Although she is old, she is also afraid of death and wants to live a few more years.

"Okay, Qiu Meng, give your mother the basket and ask her to take it to the kitchen. Chunjiao is cooking. Let me tell you something."

Xu Junqiang glanced at Wang Lanying, but didn't pay attention to her changes.

He was more concerned about planning with Xu Qiumeng how to hook up with experts from the city, relying on the experts from the city to live in the city, and completely get rid of such a poor life.

Xu Junqiang is really tired of relying on the sky for food. They have to worry if it doesn't rain or it rains heavily.

Even if the weather is good, they will not have much food left after working all year round and paying the public food collected by the brigade.

Xu Junqiang felt that it was too scary to see the end of the day at a glance.

Their fate is not in their own hands, but controlled by God.
