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

Taking He Yushui with him, they first had a simple breakfast, and then the two of them went straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

That’s right, today is the beginning of summer, and He Yushui is old enough to get a marriage certificate.

"I'm so happy, Ye Fei, we will really become a family from now on."

He Yushui held the marriage certificate with a beaming look on her face.

God knows how long she has been looking forward to this day.

In the past, I had to stay at Ye Fei's place late at night secretly, but from today on, I can do it openly.

"Well, when you have a holiday, we will hold the wedding."

Ye Fei nodded, and the corners of his lips rose slightly.

He has been looking forward to this day for a long time.

From then on, the two of them lived in the same room, and someone helped with cooking and cleaning the house, which was very nice.

"it is good."

He Yushui agreed with a smile, saying that the date for the wedding was something they had agreed upon.

She is still in school now, and she only has Saturday and Sunday to work, so she is a bit rushed.

So they decided to hold the ceremony after the holiday.

"Let's go and eat hot pot."

Ye Fei rode his bike and took his people to have hotpot. As for the whole grain porridge in the courtyard, he naturally didn't take it seriously.

But Shazhu went to the mountain with Yan Jiecheng and the others, but they came back after finding nothing.

"Silly Zhu, where's the bitter vegetable?"

Second Aunt and others had been waiting anxiously in the yard, hoping that Sha Zhu and his friends would bring back some bitter vegetables and steam some buns, or make some steamed corn bread.

So after seeing Sha Zhu's figure, he immediately couldn't wait to ask.

“No bitter herbs.”

“What about alfalfa and shepherd’s purse flowers?

Don’t you have any of these wild vegetables?”

The second aunt looked disappointed, then she thought of something and immediately asked.

"No, Second Aunt, let alone these wild vegetables, even the weeds are gone.

You have never been to the mountain, so you may not know.

The mountain is bare, with nothing but big trees."

When Sha Zhu thought about the scene he saw, he couldn't help but sigh.

Who could have thought that one day I would see a situation like this, such a big mountain, it should be a season of lush grass and singing birds, but now there is nothing.

The only bit of green is the green leaves hanging high on the treetops, which are impossible to reach.

"Is this so serious?!"

A hint of surprise flashed across Second Aunt's face. She just felt that the situation had not improved and everyone's ration had been reduced, but she did not expect there would be so many horrors.

"Well, I used to stay in the city and rarely went out. This time I finally knew that there are still a lot of refugees."

"Many refugees don't even have enough food to eat and can only pick wild grass to eat."

Others also described the scenes they had seen, and suddenly, a tense and depressing atmosphere spread over the entire courtyard.

“If there are no wild vegetables, just make steamed corn bread.

Let's make a bowl of whole grain porridge today, and everyone can have a bowl. We will surely have a good harvest this year."

Liu Haizhong was silent for a while and then spoke directly.

"But how can I make porridge if I'm missing a pound of rice?!"

"A pound of rice. Maybe everyone could have had a good meal today. What a pity..."

Seeing someone brought up this topic again, Liu Haizhong was speechless.

Who would have thought that there would be no wild vegetables in the mountains? !

He didn't think much about it at first. Even if Ye Fei didn't give him that pound of rice, the worst that could happen was that he would dig up some more wild vegetables. At least it would allow everyone to have a good meal.

But now, the wild vegetables are gone, and no one has the courage to simply make some steamed corn bread!

"How about this, I have some millet at home, take it out and put it in the pot, and we can make do with it."

Yi Zhonghai suddenly spoke, and now not only Liu Haizhong but also Yan Bugui looked at Yi Zhonghai in surprise.

"I'll go home and get it first. Today is the beginning of summer. No matter what, we have to cook the whole grain porridge well so that we can have good weather and good harvests throughout the year!"

After saying that, Yi Zhonghai went back to his home and came out quickly, holding a bag in his hand. Judging by the size of the bag, it must weigh at least half a pound.

"That's all the millet I have at home, so just pour it all in.

Everyone is doing well, that is the real good."

The lady took the bag from Yi Zhonghai and poured it directly into the pot, which instantly caused a stir:

"It's still better to be an uncle. He cares about us."

"I think there's more than half a pound of it, and he took it all out at once. The old man is such a good man."

"As expected of a great man, this is very generous."

"If you ask me, it has to be the uncle. In the past, it was the uncle who took the lead every year, and he always did a good job..."

The whispers reached the ears of the man in his bangs, and his face successfully darkened again.

Praising Yi Zhonghai in front of him, doesn't that mean he is incompetent?

Yan Bugui adjusted his glasses and said nothing more.

He knew very well that as long as Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai were around, it would be impossible for him to become the boss.

Yi Zhonghai, on the other hand, was in a good mood.

A small step today, a big step tomorrow, this is the effect he wants.

Jia Zhang was a little unhappy at first, but when she saw Yi Zhonghai take out more than half a pound of millet on his own initiative, she didn't say anything more.

No matter who takes it out, as long as she can eat it in the end, it's fine.

The multi-grain porridge was ready quickly, and steamed corn bread was also served along with it. Each person received a bowl of porridge and a steamed corn bread.

"Everyone line up, come one by one, don't rush,

This is a multi-grain porridge that symbolizes good weather and good harvests, and everyone has a share.”

Liu Haizhong stood at the front and shouted.

As soon as she finished speaking, Jia Zhang came out of the house with a basin and took small steps. If you didn't know, you would think she was riding a Hot Wheels.

"Hurry, it's my turn, it's my turn."

As Jia Zhang spoke, she handed the basin in her hand over. Second Aunt's smiling face froze in an instant:

"Mrs. Jia Zhang, this is your fault. This porridge is for everyone to drink together, so everyone has a share.

You took this basin, why not just bring your pot instead? "

“The pot is too big, I can’t be such a selfish person.

"Second Aunt, just fill up this basin."

Jia Zhang, who had never known what shame was, seemed not to hear the sarcasm at all and said it casually.

"Jia Zhang, you..."

The second aunt was angry for a moment, took a deep breath, and spoke again:

"Go change the bowl!"

“We have no bowls at home, only this.

"His second aunt, please serve me some quickly, there are people waiting in line behind me."

If a person has no shame and a tree has no bark, then they will be invincible.

Jia Zhang kept urging her, and seeing this, the second aunt gritted her teeth and had to speak:

"Okay, I'll serve you some, but the amount in this bowl is enough for your whole family..."
