The whole village flees famine and gnaws bark, I have a system to not panic

Chapter 3 The world is tough
Feng Xiaoguang scratched his head, frowned and said, "In recent years, countries with relatively heavy taxation have fought wars for years, and this year they encountered drought again. It is estimated that there is not much relief food delivered from the treasury."

"Today I went to the village elder's house to ask about the situation. The current situation is really not optimistic. We are still a little bit better. After all, we still rely on the mountains, and we can go to the mountains to find something to eat. Other places without mountains, fields The seedlings in the field have basically withered, and it is estimated that there is no hope for food this year."

"The price of the grain store in the town is one day. Several stores in the village are out of grain, and they are all ready to sell their babies. The village chief said that he has to check the situation. Why don't I come back and see if my mother is awake? Let's get an idea." I used to discuss it with my father, but now, I can only trouble my mother!"

Qin Xinyi thought carefully and said: "Before I didn't care about anything, I was worried about it by your father. You are not young anymore, so please tell me what you think first!"

Feng Xiaoguang didn't have much talent for reading since he was a child. He just read some books with his father, and he didn't continue reading after he recognized some characters. He tended the crops at home.

Feng Xiaoguang smiled innocently, "I think the village chief means to escape famine, mother, do we have to prepare as well?"

"The Shuxiu of the fourth brother Xiaoluo is due this month, and the wheat seedlings in the fields are all withered at this time of year, and there is nothing to pawn at home. Only dad's books are still there, but dad said these can't be pawned. It is for future generations."

Qin Xinyi said: "Well, you are right, when they all come back in the evening, let's have a meeting"

"What?? A meeting..." Feng Xiaoguang was a little puzzled by Monk Zhang Er.

Qin Xinyi cried inwardly, it's too bad, she was careless.Then she helped her forehead, "Oh, we all sat down and talked, brainstorming? See if there is any good way, let's talk about it. And there is not much food at home, and it won't last long."

Feng Xiaoguang listened to what his mother said, which made sense, and nodded: "Yes, that mother, please rest first, wait for them to come back, and then come to you."

"Well, let's go." Qin Xinyi began to fall into deep thought, "Although I have everything, I can't take it out casually. If someone who cares finds out, I will be in big trouble!"

"I remember that there is a kind of fried noodles in the last days. The flour is cooked. It looks earthy yellow, a bit like the color of the miscellaneous grains here, which is more deceptive. And it is more convenient to eat."

"It's better to go to the original owner's nanny. It's more convenient to do it there. The original owner's nanny has been calling herself the original owner's mother for so many years, and it hasn't aroused others' suspicion. And there are no other people there, so there are too many people who are distracted. There was a mistake."

Thinking of this, Qin Xinyi acted quickly, she started to rummage through the box to find a rag bag, held it in her hand, got up, got dressed and went out.

Jiajia was playing in the yard when she saw Qin Xinyi and trotted over: "Grandma, do you want to go out? I'll follow you. I've been lying down for such a long time. If I get up suddenly, I'm afraid you won't be able to walk steadily. Let me help you!!"

"No, I'll go to your grandma's house, it's not far away, just stay at home and take care of the house." Qin Xinyi waved her hand towards Jiajia.

Qin Xinyi said as she walked slowly with a rag bag.

Qin Xinyi's concrete body!I have no strength now.Finally, I walked to the nanny's house based on the original owner's memory.

Pushing the door open, the house is clean and spotless, but there is no furniture.

Her "mother" came out naturally, it was so natural as if she had rehearsed it many times. Although she was not her own mother, after so many years of habit, she said it very smoothly.

The nanny of the original owner came out quickly. "I just went to see you today while you were still asleep, and I felt uncomfortable seeing you. I thought about going to see you in the afternoon, but now that you are well, it's good. If you want to open up, the good days are still to come, so many children Still waiting for you to bring it!"

Qin Xinyi tried her best to use the tone of the original owner: "Mother, I'm not feeling well, so I'll come to see you right away. Although I still have no strength, I'll be fine when I take care of it."

"Although Mr. Lang has gone, you are right after all, there are still so many children here."

The nanny showed a gratified smile, "Yes, you can think so. The child is not yet an adult, and I am an old bone. If you go, what should I do?"

Qin Xinyi comforted, "Yeah, I'm just here to discuss this with you. The world is not good now, so we have to think about countermeasures earlier."

Qin Xinyi dragged the heavy cloth bag in her hand, which was just installed before entering the door. It was full of white noodles, and after seeing Taibai, she spread a lot of buckwheat noodles on it so that it was not easy to see.

Qin Xinyi shook the bag in front of the nanny, "Mother, this is some flour I saved before. Let's fry it quickly and wait for it to escape the famine. It will be delicious on the way. I don't worry about frying it in other places."

The nurse reached out to take the cloth bag, "Well, I have some here too, waiting for me to take them out and fry them together, so that it is convenient to eat on the road, it is impossible to take them out for cooking all day long, which will cause a lot of trouble. People's attention will only increase troubles in vain."

"You are not in good health, sit and rest for a while. When my uncle was here, you don't need to worry about these things. Now the world is probably going to be chaotic, so we have to get ready quickly. You say you are also in poor health, and he himself Carrying such a heavy face on your back, you won’t be afraid of getting tired.”

The nanny was chattering while she was working.

"Although life was not very good in the past, but with my uncle here, at least you don't have to think about anything, you don't have to do anything, you don't have to worry about eating and drinking, but now it's good, the whole family is waiting for you to worry about and make up your mind Woolen cloth!"

"It's the second child of your family. Oh, he can't study and study, and he can't do farming. It's not a way to idle around all day. You didn't care about it before, and now that the son-in-law is gone, no one can care about it."

"It's just that the eldest is still filial, and the third is like the second. It's nothing serious to hang around with his second brother all day."

Qin Xinyi felt warm in her heart, "Mother, it's okay, God let me live again, I think there must be a deep meaning. I think this is also very good. Anyway, I am their mother and mother-in-law, and they don't listen to me , then give them a meal of fried pork with bamboo shoots. Now is a society where filial piety is greater than the sky, and they dare to go against the sky."

The nanny said: "Well, that's what you're talking about. Little Four, he has a pretty good brain, and now he doesn't have the money to let him continue his studies. The world is really difficult! The son-in-law left so early, leaving behind this Everyone, the old and the young. Although the little money I earned outside for the children’s enlightenment was not enough for this big family. Now it’s such a time again. When you were a girl , there are still a few pieces of jewelry, why don't you take them out to pawn? I originally thought that one would be a memory, and the other would be a proof of recognition if my brother is alive. If I don't take it out, I think Our fleeing from the famine this time is really a disaster!"

"When we escaped before, we had a little silver in our hands, otherwise we couldn't have gone so smoothly. Back then, the weather was good, but now we are a big family, and we have no money or food. I think it is difficult!"

Qin Xinyi thought for a while, and said: "Don't take it out, his father is so sick, he pawned all the valuable things in the house, I only have one or two pieces of jewelry left with you, you should put them away! Otherwise, buy Too much food is also eye-catching. If you really want to flee famine, you need something to meet the emergency. Keep it, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain."

"Mother, mother, it's not good, the second son broke Feng Ergou's head!" The eldest daughter-in-law yelled while running.
