Siheyuan: With a system in place, you don’t need to worry in times of famine

When he walked to the front yard, Ye Fei met Yan Bugui who was watering the flowers, and sighed in his heart.

In this age of worrying about food, everyone is worried about where to eat, but I didn’t expect that the third uncle still has such leisure and ease, which is really admirable.

"Ye Fei, are you going out?!"

"Well, there's nothing to eat at home, let's go out for a walk."

"Then you really should go out for a walk."

Ye Fei ignored Yan Bugui and walked straight outside.

He now has ten kilograms of food coupons in his hand. He has to go and exchange them for some food first, otherwise he will really starve.

Ye Fei had his men pack ten kilograms of food coupons separately, with one kilogram in each bag and the other nine kilograms in a special bag.

He walked out with the bag, and when he got to a place where there was no one, Ye Fei directly put the bag containing nine kilograms into the space. As for the bag containing one kilogram, he carried it in his hands.

"Comrade, do you want to change?"

Suddenly a figure blocked his way. Ye Fei took a look and saw that it was a teenager.

When he looked at him, his expression was extremely nervous, and his eyes were even darting around.

"What to change?"

"I have a little sparrow here. Can I exchange it for the food in your hand?"

The young boy looked around again, swallowed, and spoke in a low voice.

"sparrow?"

Ye Fei frowned and asked again with some disbelief.

"Well, it's still alive, you see."

As the young boy spoke, he opened his clothes, and Ye Fei saw the dying little sparrow at a glance.

It is indeed alive, but not much better.

"No change."

Ye Fei shook his head and answered simply that although he wanted to eat meat, he was not interested in sparrow meat at all.

"How about exchanging it for half of your food?"

When the young boy heard Ye Fei's answer, his face became a little anxious, and he spoke again carefully, with a hint of pleading in his eyes.

"You need food?"

Ye Fei saw the boy's anxiety and asked.

"Well, my grandma is sick, and I want to exchange some food so that I can make more porridge."

The young boy looked a little sad, and his tone became a little nasal when he thought of his bedridden grandmother.

"Where are your parents?"

"My parents are gone, and I have been relying on my grandmother for all these years..."

"This pound of food is for you, and you can take the sparrow back with you."

Ye Fei suddenly thought of himself before he traveled through time, and how he also depended on his grandmother for survival. His heart suddenly softened, and he reached out and handed over the food in his hand.

"No, brother, you have to keep the sparrow. I can't just take your things for nothing!"

The young boy's unexpected answer made Ye Fei look at him with a higher regard.

"Take it. Your grandma is sick and needs some nourishment."

Seeing that the young boy seemed to have something to say, Ye Fei continued:

"You can also consider it as a loan. If you are able to pay me back in the future, it won't be too late."

"Thank you, brother. Please leave your name and address so that I can repay you in the future."

"My name is Ye Fei, and I live at No. 95 Luoguxiang, Nantong. You can go there to find me when the time comes."

"Thank you, Brother Fei."

The young boy was full of joy. He bowed deeply to Ye Fei and said:

"My name is Zhao Le. When I become successful, I will definitely thank Brother Fei for his kindness today."

"Alright, alright, go back now. I have something else to do. I'm leaving first."

Ye Fei couldn't stand this scene of kindness, so he waved his hand and left.

Zhao Le stood there and watched for a while, then ran back with the things in his arms.

"It just happened to be the last one. You came at the perfect time. Here you go."

Unconsciously, he walked to the Zhengyang Gate. Ye Fei saw a group of people gathered in front of him. He couldn't help but walk over, only to find that they were refugees begging for food.

As luck would have it, he was also mistaken for one of them.

"Hurry up and take it. This is all I can do to help you."

"Thank you."

Ye Fei took the steamed bread and said thank you sincerely.

After eating a steamed bun, Ye Fei didn't feel so hungry anymore. He glanced at the plaque on the door and saw the three big words "Tavern" clearly written there.

"Xu Huizhen..."

"I'm coming……"

The woman hurried away after hearing the voice. Ye Fei stood there, looking at Xu Huizhen's back, and fell into deep thought.

Zhengyangmen...

Seo Hye Jin…

Could this be a drama that has been intruded upon? !

Ye Fei was stunned for a long time before he walked away. Now was not the time for him to think about these things. The most important thing was to improve his living conditions.

In 1959, the Great Famine began. Life would be even more difficult in the next two years, so he had to be adequately prepared.

"Old Liu, are you preparing to go up the mountain?"

"Well, my family is really struggling to make ends meet, so I thought of going out and trying my luck."

"It's the same in my family. I don't know when this situation will end."

“Hopefully next year will be better.”

Hearing the conversation of passers-by, Ye Fei's eyes flashed with deep thought. Perhaps, he could also try his luck in the mountains?

I followed a few people silently to the outside of the city. Looking around, I saw that the bare mountains were so bare that even the bark of the trees had been stripped clean by many refugees.

"e=(′o｀*))) Oh, it looks like we have to go inside again."

"The number of refugees has been increasing recently. There is nothing left on the mountain. We can only go deeper into the mountain and try our luck."

Several people stood at the foot of the mountain, staring at the bare outskirts, with gloomy faces.

"Hey, little comrade, are you here to hunt too?"

Someone noticed Ye Fei standing not far from them and asked curiously.

"Well, my family ran out of food, so I came here to take a look."

"You're spinning too casually, aren't you?!"

Old Liu looked Ye Fei up and down. He had nothing in his hands. It seemed that he was just here for a stroll.

"Hey, this is my first time going up the mountain too..."

Ye Fei scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

"Although going up the mountain to hunt for prey does require luck, we still have to prepare something."

Seeing Ye Fei's expression, Old Liu thought for a moment and took out some food from his backpack and handed it over:

"This small pickaxe is for you to use first. You can dig some traps or something. And here's some food. You need to put it in there to lure prey to come..."

"Uncle, thank you so much."

Ye Fei just came out for a walk, but he didn't expect to meet such a kind person. He quickly thanked him.

"Young comrade, you don't have to be so polite. When I saw you, I thought of my son. He is about the same age as you, but he has not returned since he was stationed at the border two years ago.

Good luck."

"I wish you good luck too. We'll meet at the foot of this mountain soon, and I'll return this pickaxe to you then."

"Haha, okay, I'll wait for you here then."

Old Liu laughed heartily twice, then strode up the mountain.
