Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

Chapter 138 Life in the Countryside Is Not Easy

After arriving at the station, Sun Zhengguo bought a ticket and caught the first bus.

After waiting for about ten minutes, I boarded the bus back home.

In Dongxiang Village, in the old house of the Sun family, an old couple were chatting about family matters.

There is a drought this year, the harvest is poor, and there is a serious shortage of food, so everyone stays at home and reduces unnecessary exercise, which can better resist hunger.

"Old man, you said the children won't come back this year. Do you know that we are short of food?"

Grandma missed her grandson a little, and she kept nagging him while sewing the soles of his shoes.

"Of course I don't know this. There is a food shortage everywhere. Some time ago, the second brother wanted to go to the city to have a look, but I stopped him. There are still a bunch of people at home! We can't cause trouble for the eldest brother again."

Grandpa is in a difficult situation, and he thinks it would be better to focus on one family first rather than have both families suffer!

"Oh! What a sin! This reminds me of 42, when many people died in the village. I don't know if we can survive this time."

Grandma's face was full of worry, and she still feels scared when she thinks about the past.

"Why think about that? Didn't my in-laws say this during the meeting? Difficulties are only temporary. We must trust the country."

Soon the room fell silent again. After all, talking too much would take energy, so it was better to save it.

at the same time.

A bus stopped unsteadily at the entrance of Dongxiang Village. After the door opened, a young man got out of the bus. It was Sun Zhengguo who was returning home from the city.

After getting off the car, Sun Zhengguo hurried back to his hometown. He didn't meet anyone along the way. It was probably because of food shortage again, and everyone was staying at home.

After a while, Sun Zhengguo arrived at the door of his hometown, pushed open the door and shouted loudly.

"Grandpa, grandma, I'm back."

Hearing the shouting, grandpa and grandma came out happily from the main room, and my second uncle and aunt from the next room also hurried out.

"It's Zhengguo who's back. He missed me so much. Come and see me."

Others were more reserved, but the grandmother couldn't wait any longer. She walked up and hugged her grandson, as if she was afraid that he would run away.

"Hahaha……."

Grandma's appearance caused the others to burst into laughter.

After grandma had seen enough, Sun Zhengguo greeted his uncle and aunt.

Several people came to the main hall, and Sun Zhengguo told them about the situation in the city and his cousin's recent situation.

"What? Zhengguo, you didn't lie to me? My sister-in-law is arranging a date for Zhengdong."

When they learned that Sun Zhengdong was going to have a blind date, the whole family was very excited, and Second Aunt even stood up happily.

"Second Aunt, please sit down first. I can't lie to you. My mother told me so herself. Maybe by the time I go back, the blind date will have been successful."

"That's good, that's good. It seems we should thank Wen Cui. She is thoughtful."

Grandma also praised it.

But what did grandma suddenly think of?

"Grandson, Zhengdong is younger than you and has already gone on a blind date, what about you?"

"Oh! Grandma, don't worry about this. I tell you, I have already met the right person before coming here."

"Really? Then bring it here and let grandma see it. This is our Sun family's first granddaughter-in-law. Grandma can't wait."

"Hahaha……."

Today's good news came one after another, and everyone is very happy.

Sun Zhengguo simply let them have enough fun and even told them the fact that his younger brother had a girlfriend, which doubled the family's happiness.

At lunch, Sun Zhengguo was dumbfounded. There were two steamed buns in his bowl, while his grandfather's family all ate sweet potatoes, and the portions were very small.

It seems that the food shortage in the countryside is already very serious. If it’s like this at my grandpa’s house, my grandpa’s house shouldn’t be much better, and what about my aunt’s house?

Looking at the two steamed buns in the bowl, Sun Zhengguo really couldn't eat it. He should have thought of it earlier. Why didn't he come earlier?

"What's wrong? Jungkook, is it not to your liking?"

Grandpa asked with concern.

He knew his grandson was not a picky person, so why was he behaving so strangely today?

"Grandpa, you and grandma can each have one of these two steamed buns. I like to eat sweet potatoes."

After saying that, without waiting for his grandfather to react, Sun Zhengguo replaced the steamed bread, grabbed the steamed sweet potato, and put it into his mouth.

"Jungguk you? Oh! It's all because of my uncle's incompetence."

At the same time, Sun Dahe blamed himself.

My nephew finally came home, and I didn't have anything good to offer him, so I prepared two steamed breads for him. But he couldn't bear to eat them.

"Uncle, there's no need to be like this, and you don't have to blame yourself. There's actually plenty of things in the city, and I really like eating sweet potatoes."

Sun Zhengguo's family didn't believe what he said. Since their eldest grandson was so filial, their grandparents would no longer refuse. Even if they pushed the food over to them, Sun Zhengguo would not eat it.

Everyone began to eat lunch in silence. Seeing the atmosphere was dull, Sun Zhengguo spoke.

"Grandpa and grandma, second uncle and second aunt, let me tell you something happy. I brought a lot of food with me this time, but I hid it because I was afraid others would see it. We will go get it at night."

"Yeah! Let's eat."

The grandfather and his friends responded casually without much reaction, thinking that their grandson was just joking to cheer them up.

Sun Zhengguo didn't take it seriously. When everyone saw the things at night, they believed them.

After lunch, Sun Zhengguo went to his grandfather's house again and talked about the situation in the city and the recent situation of his cousin Ji Guo.

My uncle and aunt also miss their grandson, but they don’t dare to go to the city now for fear of adding burden to their son, so they were very happy to hear that their son and his family were doing well.

Sun Zhengguo finally stated the purpose of this trip, which was to break through the dark energy, but his grandfather really couldn't help. He could only talk about his own views in general, which were for reference only. The specific decision had to be made by him.

Sun Zhengguo didn’t think about it anymore since he didn’t get the desired result. He will just have to adapt to the circumstances when the time comes!

Then he told his uncle to prepare the cart in the evening and went home to sleep.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Sun Zhengguo woke up, washed his face, said goodbye to his grandmother, and went to the grove where he practiced martial arts.

Next to this grove, there is a very hidden place. Normally no one comes here, so it should be no problem to hide a few hundred kilograms of grain there.

After checking the space, Sun Zhengguo prepared 20 kilograms of white flour, 100 kilograms of corn flour, and 5 kilograms of dried meat for each family.

It’s not that I can’t give out much, but it’s hard to explain if there is too much, so I can only come more often in the future.

After putting the things away, Sun Zhengguo disguised himself again to make sure everything was safe. Seeing that there was no one around, he slowly left the grove.

After returning home, grandma didn't ask any questions when she saw me. We chatted for a while and then prepared to eat dinner. Since we couldn't make it to the next meal, we just ate early and went to bed early.

After dinner, it was not dark yet, so we could only wait.

"Uncle, let me go call my uncle. Don't go to bed so early. We still have to go get food."

Sun Dahe was stunned. He didn't expect this to be true.

"Wait a minute, let's go together. We're just sitting around doing nothing anyway."

Sun Dahe was a little impatient and just hoped that it would get dark sooner.

Sun Zhengguo smiled, he could understand his second uncle's feelings, and the two of them walked towards Lin Hong's house.
