Yan Bugui sighed deeply, picked up a small piece of dried radish with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. He chewed it carefully for a while. After all the saltiness was gone, he swallowed the dried radish that had been chewed into small pieces into his stomach. He then drank a mouthful of cornmeal paste to suppress the saltiness in his mouth, and then he slowly spoke.

"Oh! It would be great if Jie Cheng and Xiao Qian got together. At least our family would have a reason to have dinner with Ren Yang He Hua's family."

"such a pity!"

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

Yan Jiecheng was fed up with the days of eating limited portions every day. Thinking that he had not eaten chicken for a long time, and the smell of meat coming from outside the yard, he became more determined.

Apparently, Second Aunt Yang Ruihua also smelled the aroma of the meat and felt the saliva in her mouth. She quickly shoveled two mouthfuls of cornmeal paste into her mouth and cursed in a low voice: "Damn the Jia family! They've been making delicious food every day!"

“I don’t know where it came from!”

"That guy Bang Geng is almost eaten into a ball!"

"A child who is mute at that. Jia Dongxu and his wife are really willing to give him up!"

"If this belly gave birth to a boy with a penis, I wonder if they would still be so nice to Bang Geng!?"

While saying this, Second Aunt Yang Ruihua was thinking of another thing in her mind. If the child Qin Huairu gave birth to was a girl, then the person who would carry on the Jia family's family line in the future would have to be a good boy!

But if it was a boy, this dumb Banggeng would definitely become an abandoned child of Jia Dongxu and his wife!

No matter from which level you look at it, Second Aunt Yang Ruihua finds it exciting just thinking about it.

Yan Bugui was a teacher and considered himself a cultured person. Even at the dinner table at home, even if he had other ideas in his mind, he would not agree with his wife in front of the children. He just ate the cornmeal porridge in his bowl with a faint expression.

After Yan Jiekuang, Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiedi finished their meal, they put down their bowls and chopsticks, said hello, and went out impatiently.

Second Aunt Yang Ruihua stood up and looked in the direction where the three children had disappeared. She muttered again, "These three children are here for revenge. They don't even help clean up the dishes!"

"After eating every day, all I do is run outside!"

"I don't know what's so attractive out there!"

"Okay!" Yan Bugui was annoyed and interrupted her chattering: "The children are still young, and it is their nature to love playing. It is better than staying at home all the time!"

"That's true!"

Second Aunt Yang Ruihua thought this made sense and didn't say anything more.

After finishing his meal, Yan Jiecheng went to the backyard. Then, one person turned into two, and he and Liu Guangtian also left the courtyard, chatting and laughing.

By the pool in the middle courtyard.

He Yushui was washing the dishes in silence, while her sister-in-law Su Qinmi was washing her own clothes beside her.

Su Qinmi is not a diligent person, but she is a little bit of a clean freak. She changes her clothes every day and her bed sheets and quilt covers every Monday.

Su Qinmi washed her own clothes and bed sheets by herself.

She never cared about the clothes of He Yuzhu and his sister. If He Yuzhu couldn't wash the sheets and quilt covers cleanly, Su Qinmi even wanted to give the heavy work of washing the sheets and quilt covers to He Yuzhu.

Why not give it to He Yushui! ?

It’s not that Su Qinmi has a change of heart, she just feels that He Yushui can’t clean it up.

Listening to the conversation of the two young wives by the pool, Su Qinmi, who had washed and dried the clothes, walked into the house with a basin and pushed He Yuzhu who was lying on the bed.

"Zhu Zi, I heard from the neighbors that the price of food has increased. It's true that you have bought our monthly ration, but as long as we have food, we won't be worried. Do you want to go to the pigeon market and buy some more food to store?"

"Oh! What are you afraid of? I am your man and a cook. Even in a year of famine, the cook will not starve. If I don't starve, then naturally you won't starve either!"

There is indeed a saying in Beijing that even in years of famine, the cooks will never starve.

Looking at He Yuzhu's attitude, Su Qinmi felt angry and amused.

It’s okay if you don’t feel hungry, but if you want to have a full meal, that’s a luxury.

After Su Qinmi knew that she came to this world, she learned about the future direction of the world from the system that had not yet fallen into hibernation. She knew that there would be natural disasters in the next few years and that there would not be enough food, so she also thought about stockpiling food.

But Su Qinmi had no storage space and no place to live, so she gave up this plan.

The space in the system can only be used to take out rewards but not to put them in. It is completely useless.

In addition, before the Chinese New Year, I went to the supply and marketing cooperatives several times and found that they were selling off-season vegetables.

Su Qinmi began to doubt her life.

Therefore, Su Qinmi did not miss any issue of the newspaper during this period. She bought them all and read them word by word, for fear of missing any useful information.

However, she did not see any of the newspaper news about the yield of 10,000 kilograms per mu as the system had said before.

However, the drought in Yunnan and Henan provinces was reported in the newspapers, and there was also news that the government was sending relief food to the disaster-stricken areas.

The more she watched, the more Su Qinmi began to doubt her life. Was this still the world she knew?!

Previously, Su Qinmi had suspected that Yang Hehua might be a variable, but now she no longer had her eyes on Yang Hehua.

Su Qinmi is waiting, waiting for the official announcement in August to "take steel as the key link and make comprehensive leap forward."

In fact, it was the Great Leap Forward in Steel Production.

But even until September, there was still no official announcement.

Su Qinmi was completely panicked.

At this time in the courtyard, everyone was becoming more and more anxious because of the food purchase restrictions during this period and the rising food prices in the pigeon market and the black market.

The workers at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill are fine, but the elderly and women who don't have jobs in the yard have sallow complexions, and some children from poor families are so thin that they're a little scary.

The rations are fixed and purchased according to the population. We can’t eat enough, but we won’t be starving to this extent either.

Mainly, some elderly people mentioned the drought in previous years, and the newspapers kept reporting that there was drought in various places and no harvest.

Everyone was in panic. Even though the supply and marketing cooperatives and grain stores were selling grain every day, these families were just trying to save as much as possible.

People now make an appointment to go to the suburbs to pick wild vegetables, which they used to look down upon.

Make the collected wild vegetables into vegetable dumplings or blanch them and dry them to make dried wild vegetables and store them to prevent them from being eaten in the future when there is no vegetable or little food.

As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

As more people pick wild vegetables, conflicts naturally arise.
