The Portable Farm in the Siheyuan

Mo Bin let go of his hand and nodded with a smile. He wanted to see the living environment of the Du family. He knew Lao Du very well. He supported several families by himself. Although Lao Du and his wife both had salaries, they also had a salary combined. More than a hundred, but there is no way to solve it with food!

After pushing the motorcycle tricycle into the yard, Mo Bin had no intention of taking a gift and just entered the main room empty-handed. Of course, the host would not say anything.

"Ahem, are there guests?" An old voice came from the east room.

"Dad, he is Daguang's old comrade. Brother Mo Bin, his old partner, is here. Come out as soon as you and mom get up. Are the children awake?" Fu Yuee'e replied.

"We are all up, come out now, the children are also awake." came an old woman's voice, it should be the old lady.

Mo Bin entered the room and took a look. There was only an old table in the main room, six or seven stools of different styles, and a bamboo kettle. The west room should be occupied by this couple. There was a kang burning in the room, but it was not cold.

"Sit down and drink some boiling water. I don't have tea at home." Du Shuguang asked Mo Bin to sit down and went to pick up the kettle.

"You know I'm not very particular, so what crime have we never suffered?" Mo Bin said with a smile, found a higher bench to sit down on, and put the cigarettes and kerosene lighter on the table.

"Yue'e, stew the roe deer meat given by Erhu and the others, put some cornmeal pancakes on it, Mo Bin and I will drink some, and the whole family will have a good meal." Du Shuguang took an enamel jar and ordered his wife while pouring water.

"Then... okay, I'll do it right now. You two can chat here for a while." Fu Yuee'e hesitated obviously.

"Lao Du, doesn't your commune have a canteen? Why do you still eat cornmeal?" Mo Bin looked at Du Shuguang and asked.

"Oh! Don't mention it. I won't hide it. My father-in-law sent the cornmeal back to the children. Last month, the canteens in the countryside were secretly closed, leaving only a few communes. This is a mountainous area, and there isn't much land in the first place. What kind of food is there? What else can we get after paying the public food? We brought food, dry goods, bacon, etc. from the farmers’ homes. I still controlled it and didn’t mess around. I only persisted for a few months, and all the production teams below were Come for help, can you kill me and have a meal?" Du Shuguang was a little excited.

"What didn't you say?" Mo Bin asked expressionlessly.

"What are you talking about? The worst case scenario is that I will be removed too! I begged my grandfather to sue my grandma, and the county collected a thousand catties of wheat bran and a thousand catties of moldy dried sweet potatoes. This is the only portion. There are no latecomers. ." Du Shuguang said in a low voice.

"So, the conditions in your Qingshan Commune are pretty good?" Mo Bin was a little curious.

"Thank you to my former big brother Zhou Yi." Du Shuguang sighed and gave his thigh a hard blow.

"What are you eating in the canteen now?" Mo Bin asked next.

"What to eat? I should say what to drink! A meal of wheat bran porridge, with a plop when the spoon is thrown away. At noon, occasionally some boiled bean sprouts, dried wild vegetables, and some dried sweet potatoes, without any oil or water. Three big bowls at a meal , My stomach is growling, and my eyes are starving with hunger. I don’t know how long I can hold on like this!" Du Shuguang smiled bitterly, how could he have the ability to eat dry food?

Mo Bin threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stamped it out with his foot, "Old Du, it's so difficult now. What will happen next year? What will happen the year after that? Have you thought about it?"

"Has it always been like this?" Du Shuguang raised his head suddenly, his face full of surprise.

"Lao Du, I'm in northern Beijing, and I may know a little more than you. And I heard a lot about it on the train. The drought is very serious across the country, and if you think about it carefully, what are you doing during the autumn harvest and autumn planting? , what are the people across the country doing? Do you think next year's harvest will be good?" Mo Bin whispered.

"Yes, I should have thought of it! Although the harvest time here is different from that in the south, it is not too different. Everyone is busy working on the blast furnace. I understand, you are saying that the situation will be more serious in the next two years ?" Du Shuguang looked at Mo Bin with despair.

Mo Bin stretched out his head and whispered in Du Shuguang's ear: "I don't know anything else, but I know that natural disasters will definitely not last one or two years. Remember, only by protecting yourself first can you protect others. , don’t be stupid!”

Du Shuguang stared at Mo Bin blankly. At this time, he was extremely desperate. He didn't know what to say or what to ask. He seemed to be stupid.

"Old Du, please remember to act within your capabilities. This is not a battlefield! Our relatives need our protection even more. Once something happens to you, have you ever thought about the consequences?" Mo Bin whispered.

"I know, I know everything! Mo Bin, don't think of me as a fool, I'm not that noble. At least I want to ensure that my family doesn't starve to death!" Du Shuguang whispered through gritted teeth.

"Remember what you said! Go and tell your sister-in-law not to do it, I brought ready-made ones!" Mo Bin heard the movement in the east room, got up and walked to the yard.

Du Shuguang stayed for two seconds and immediately got up and went to the kitchen. He believed in Mo Bin.

Mo Bin stood in front of the rear of the car, facing Du Shuguang who was walking quickly, and put his arms around his neck, "Is there a safe and hidden place where a large amount of supplies can be stored? It would be best if no one else knows about it except you. .”

"Yes, your sister-in-law's old house is on the hillside in the southeast corner. My father-in-law's family has inherited Chinese medicine. When he was an underground liaison officer, he built the yard. When the house was built, a cave was hidden to hide things. The area is as big as my yard. My father-in-law and his family all went to work in the Longjiang Forest Farm, so the yard was given to your sister-in-law?" Du Shuguang said softly.

"Call my sister-in-law, let's go there together now, just say I'm going to stay for a few days." After speaking, Mo Bin straightened up and walked towards the back of the car.

Mo Bin untied the canvas at the rear of the car and took out two clean flour bags. One was full of meat buns, and the other contained four pounds of brown sugar, four pounds of toffee, four cartons of cigarettes, four bottles of Fenjiu, and four pieces of Pu'er. brick tea.

Du Shuguang launched an 80% new bicycle from the East Room, which was probably provided by the public, and he was probably reluctant to buy it himself.

Fu Yue'e also hurried out of the main room. Mo Bin stepped forward to greet her and handed her the bag in his hand, "Sister-in-law, this bag is full of meat buns. Let the elderly and children eat them first. I give you this bag. Hurry up and collect the gifts you brought. Don’t say anything. Hurry up. I’ll talk to you later when I get to your house.”

Fu Yuee'e was not simple at all. Seeing her husband nod, she immediately picked it up and carried it back to the main room. She knew how cautious her husband was and she would understand it later.

Du Shuguang led the way with his wife, and Mo Bin followed him on a motorcycle. About a thousand meters away, they arrived at the gate of a courtyard with an earthen wall. Fu Yuee took the key and opened the door, waiting for Mo Bin's car to drive in, and then The door is locked, safety first.

Mo Bin parked the car. He wanted to see the hidden and safe cave that Lao Du talked about, so as to save himself from fussing around.

Fu Yue'e opened the door of the hall again. After the three people entered, Du Shuguang closed the door of the hall.

The couple began to lift the table and bench, and placed them on the north wall of the east bedroom. Du Shuguang climbed up and fiddled with them for a few times, and moved the wooden planks of the roof away, revealing a hole as big as a pot lid.

Mo Bin was really surprised, I'm in for it! His father-in-law is really a genius. He even thought of setting up a mechanism on the roof. Most people would never think of it.

Du Shuguang, who was above, turned over and pulled his wife up. Naturally, Mo Bin didn't need his help. He used his arms and his whole body jumped up. There was a height of one and a half meters above them. They had to walk forward with their waists hunched over. .

Du Shuguang moved a large wooden board away, and a dark space appeared in front of him. Fu Yuee'e suddenly took out a flashlight and turned it on. It seemed that she was prepared.
