happy apocalypse

Chapter 116
After Jiang Zhi and the others left, my aunt began to chat with Jiang Ma, Qu Ma and the others, and Jiang Ma and the others also talked about what happened in the city with my aunt and uncle.

I pulled Lu Fang to sit beside me, ready to ask about the situation in Tashan Village.

"Xiao Fang, when did you come back?" We have met Lu Fang in the past two summers, so we are very familiar with her.This little girl is very kind and down-to-earth. Both Jiang Zhi and I like her very much.

Lu Fang graduated last year, and there was only one girl in my aunt's family, so she was reluctant to go away, so when Lu Fang graduated, she came back to City Y and found a job in a construction company in the city.

"I came back when it just snowed in November last year." Lu Fang is also very happy to see us back now, and her tone of voice is extraordinarily happy.

"Your boss is pretty good this time, so I asked you to ask for leave." When I returned to City D last year, Lu Fang had already started to work, and I heard from her that her boss was extremely stingy and often squeezed their surplus labor.

"You guessed wrong, our boss can change for the better, I would rather believe that he can change gender."

I laughed when I heard Lu Fang's words.

"At the beginning, our boss said that he would not let people go. He threatened to fire me if I left without authorization, and the salary of the previous month would not be paid. I didn't care about that. No matter how important money is, life is important. I'm back, thanks to my early return, otherwise I don't know where I am suffering from cold and starvation at this time.

On New Year’s Day, I had a phone call with a good colleague of mine. She was threatened to stay home, but after the heavy snowfall, the inhumane boss disappeared early. I can't go home anymore, so I can only survive in the dormitory. Thanks to buying more food when it started snowing, otherwise I would starve to death now. , They can only live frugally there, hoping to survive the snow disaster. "Lv Fang was very thankful that she had a strong will, and she was right to go home when it snowed.

"That's right. In our country, money is useless now. Holding it is a waste of space. Now if you want supplies, you have to barter." I talked to her about life in D City. "Is our money okay?"

"I don't know about Y City. Our Tashan Village is not like this now, but no one sells food outside. A while ago, people from the county came to our village to buy food. The price was very high, but the village chief Not allowed to sell, saying that the snow disaster does not know when it will pass, everyone should prepare in advance, let’s keep the little food at home for our own food.”

"Look, the head of our village is quite far-sighted." I think the head of the village has done the right thing. Now everything else is just floating clouds, and the only real thing is that the food is in his own hands.

"Yes, he is quite farsighted, but not everyone in our village is farsighted. Do you remember Chen Cuihua from our village?" Lu Fang asked me in a low voice.

"I remember, why don't I remember, she insisted on selling rice to me when we collected mountain products two years ago." I still have a deep impression of that mountain product.

"Her son is working in the city. In December, he took his boss back and sold all the grain of Chen Cuihua's family at a high price. Chen Cuihua has been showing off in our village for several days, saying that her son is capable. I was able to help the family contact big clients. How much more money has her family earned this year. Don’t mention that there are a few shallow-sighted people in our village who set up a relationship with her. sell food.

As a result, within two months, she must have been dumbfounded. After her son took away the food, she didn’t see the shadow. Her old couple lived on more than 100 catties of rice. The catty of rice is still enough for them to eat. A few days ago during the Chinese New Year, they had no more rice to cook, and they began to borrow food from the village again.At first they said they would buy them with money, but no one in the village sold them. "Lu Fang happily told me gossip about Chen Cuihua's family.

I heard Chen Cuihua's deeds, and I really felt that if this person was too smart, he would be short-hearted.Moreover, ordinary people who are short-hearted have a good appetite, and they can eat like a thief.

"What should we do? Are you watching them starve?" The village is not like the city. Every household is an old neighbor, and they usually have a good relationship.

"Their couple can't be quiet people. No one lends them food, so they sit in other people's homes shamelessly and for a day. She rubs with them when they eat. If they can't wipe their faces, they have nothing to do, so they lend them. She has a little food, and the more powerful people simply won't let her in, they all call her like that.

Besides, she doesn't know how to be pitiful, and she doesn't know that food is not easy to come by at all. Everyone saves their mouths, so they have food to lend to him. If you are a person, shouldn't you also save a little every day at this time? Let's eat, don't cause trouble for everyone.As a result, their family doesn’t have enough food. They eat and drink when they have food, and borrow it after eating. It’s enough for others to borrow you once or twice. They are not her parents, and it is impossible to stop playing. Give them food and feed them.Therefore, when the villagers saw that her family members were hiding, they knocked on the door as if there was no one at home, and refused to open it for her.She was helpless, so she went to the village chief for help.In the end, it was also the face of the village chief who evened out 100 catties of rice from his own house and gave it to their family again. It was agreed that this was the last time before the beginning of spring. If there is not enough food, then go hungry. It stopped. "

"Isn't someone looking for her son to help sell food? Let them give some now." I think Chen Cuihua is such a trustworthy person, it's impossible that she didn't think of this method.

"Those are all human beings, can they suffer this? They saw that Chen Cuihua and the couple had nothing to eat, and they slipped away faster than anyone else." Lu Fang said disdainfully, and then asked me in a low voice: " Sister-in-law, guess who is looking for Chen Cuihua and his son to help sell grain?"

I really can't guess this, I'm only familiar with the people in this mountain village, and I don't know much about the specific family.

"Whose family?" I was very cooperative with Lu Fang and asked after her.

"It's the old Li Tou who borrowed our house."

"Oh, it's his house. Did his family say something? Did he really need a house to live in when he borrowed our house?" I just wanted to ask Lu Fang if his house really couldn't afford it. The snow is heavy, but there is still something to say.

"The house in his family is not stable. His second son just got married last summer. It has only been half a year, and the house is not stable? His family is the group who didn't take advantage of it. When they bought a new house, it was in the house. If you take a look at the three floors outside, you are afraid of being deceived. How could it be possible that the house will fail in less than half a year. And even if it really fails, then there is still Lao Litou's house. His house has eight rooms. Why? I couldn’t afford a house for my son. My parents said it was their family’s anger. His son Li Feng wanted to buy the old Jiatou’s house back then, but his cousin bought it in the end. After we went, their family members thought that we pried it out from the middle. It doesn’t matter how neatly you cleaned up the house at the end of the village. You can’t come back when the snow is howling, so you just want to take advantage. Hmph, I guess they The family is looking forward to the sister-in-law and you can't come back, so they can have the cheek to take the house away." From Lu Fang's words, it can be heard that she is very dissatisfied with the old Li Tou's family.

"It's okay, haven't we come back now, so there is no place for them to jump around. The house we rented out, let your cousin ask the village head to come back tomorrow, isn't it the village head's guarantee to us? Let's find the village chief to solve it." I thought about it, when it comes to the house, we will pay attention first, and if they return it wisely, then we have nothing to say, let you live in vain for a while. Well, if they don't know how to be smart and want to rely on the house and refuse to return it, then we have to take some tough measures. Jiang Zhi and the others are tall and powerful, and they are not afraid of their old Li family's repudiation.

"Yes, let my dad go to the village chief tomorrow." After chatting with me, Lu Fang said to me again: "Sister-in-law, I don't think you have brought much when you come back. Take some food and go back, our two families can make do with it, and we can survive until the beginning of spring."

When I heard Lu Fang say this, I felt warm in my heart, "Your cousin asked my little uncle to go to the cellar of our house to eat autumn vegetables when it first snowed. You didn't go."

"I didn't go, it's enough to save some things for our family." Lu Fang replied very honestly.

"Why do you still need to save your food?" I swallowed back what I was about to say and asked.

My aunt's family should have enough food. Although the harvest was not good last year, my aunt's family didn't sell any food.

"When it just snowed, my uncle who lived in the county called our family and said that we couldn't buy food in the city and asked my dad to send him some. My dad said that he was just such a younger brother. , People have opened their mouths, and he has to send it anyway, so half of our food has gone, and my mother is afraid that the rest of the food will not be able to eat this year's autumn harvest, and now the family has two meals a day." Lu Fang said Her uncle, the tone is not very good.

I heard some things about Uncle Lu Fang from Jiang Ma, and there are also some excellent ones. When you have something to do, you can’t find him if you want to find him. set.

"It's okay. Uncle didn't lend out the house at the end of the village. We have stored a lot of food in the underground ice cellar. We are sure to be able to eat the autumn harvest. There are also a lot of autumn vegetables and dried vegetables stored in the cellar above. , wait until I ask your cousin to bring you some tomorrow, don’t worry about your family, it will definitely be enough.” I said the words I just swallowed.I like Lu Fang very much, and my aunt's family has helped us a lot, so I should give some back appropriately.

"No need, sister-in-law, I'm telling you this not because you want something, I just feel uncomfortable and nagging you." Lu Fang hurriedly explained to me after hearing what I said.

"I know, don't I know what kind of person you are? You should also know what kind of person my sister-in-law is. My sister-in-law said that there must be, there is no reason why we can't finish eating and we rot into the vegetable cellar, and you are still there It's cheap, isn't it?"

Lu Fang thought about it for a while and said: "That's fine, since my sister-in-law said so, I want it, but you just need to let me know about my sister-in-law, but don't tell my dad, or he should feel compassion again. I want to help my uncle. If he is like that, give him something, I don’t have anything to say, at most we can eat two bites less, but he is not like that. He always treats us like fools, so my dad still I am thinking about the brotherhood, but I don’t think so. Also, I don’t need my cousin to give it away tomorrow, I will pick it up by myself tomorrow night, so that others won’t see it.”

"What's the matter, isn't our village peaceful?" I saw that Lu Fang was so careful and asked.
