"When I was young, I was often hungry. I am afraid that I will never get rid of this problem of hoarding food. I never thought that it would come in handy one day." Uncle Wu shook his head, speaking with some helplessness.

"Your old man went to the yard at Xiwei before, and I'm afraid that every household has checked the bottom of it?" Gao Chang asked again with a smile.

"How can we? What are we doing to manage other people's affairs?" Fifth Uncle laughed twice.

"Tsk, you don't care about other people's affairs, but you probably don't want to know how much food they have at home, do you?" It was Zheng Zhanpeng who had just lost his parents. This old man was the one who came to their yard to ask for pigs for the first time. If it wasn't for him, my parents would probably still be alive right now.

But if he wanted to talk about this matter, he wouldn't take it seriously anyway, not to mention that the wild boar was not his own at all, he didn't care whether Gao Chang gave it away or not, and the lives of other people in the village were also his lives.What's more, on the day Gao Chang sent the pig, he asked him by name for his opinion. What Zheng Zhanpeng said at the time, the pig belonged to Gao Chang himself, so he loved to give it away.So at this moment, I was suffocating in my heart, and I couldn't speak well to anyone, and I didn't have the patience to beat around the bush.

"Fifth Uncle, you are not being kind in this matter." When Zheng Zhanpeng said this, even Zheng Guobang, who usually respects the elderly the most, flinched.If that's the case, Uncle Wu went to the yard at Xiwei to find out first, and he may have made other efforts and used some tricks to attract people.Now he said that he would let all the people in the Xiwei yard move into the Shangkan and Aoli yards, and he would pick out those whose families were better off first, leaving some people who had no food or salt to live in. Entering their own yard, then they are too aggrieved by this loss?

"It's not up to them to decide which courtyard a family will move into. You people have too many eyes." Fifth Uncle was not in a hurry.

"Who knows if you have promised anyone any benefits in advance?" Everyone felt that the old man might first trick everyone with food into his yard, for example, promise them not to pay rent, and wait for those people to live in it. Now, when the whole yard is starving and red-eyed, which family can really keep food.At least in the courtyard of Aoli, Fifth Uncle's character has not gained everyone's trust.

"Then you can also promise them some benefits, anyway, this idea must be left to them in the end, and you and I don't count on it." The old man seemed to be planning to resist.

Gao Chang stretched himself out on the armchair, shook his legs and said, "Uncle, we don't think your idea is good. Instead of doing this, the families in Xiwei might as well not move. Just because of the two wild boars, let's move again." Let half of the people live in the yard. Seeing that summer is coming, how hot will it be then? Besides, you have fished up all the good ones, and there must not be much food left. We just want to divide them into two Wild boar, not worth it."

"Don't move? Then what do you ask them to do?" Uncle Wu didn't expect Gao Chang to say such heartless words.

"What else can I do? Everyone has their own life. If they can survive, they can continue to endure. The three wild boars will continue to be raised for them. If they really can't survive, the wild boars will be useless." , when the time comes, we will get them back, isn't it a matter of course?" Gao Chang said in a natural way.

"Oh, then you want them to wait to die in your own yard? If you really don't want to save them, then let them all move to our Shangkan yard." Fifth Uncle's beard trembled, It looked a little angry.

"Who are you fooling?" Uncle Cui, who was usually not very talkative, also spoke out now. "As far as your Shangkan yard is, the chicken butt is as big as it is, and it's already full. Now you have to put dozens of people in it, so you're not afraid of causing a plague?"

"Don't let the pigs be taken away before the people have finished moving." Old Ninth Uncle snorted lightly.

The last time this fifth uncle came to ask for pigs, he felt a lot of dissatisfaction in his heart, but it was a pity that the people in the yard couldn't be of one mind at that time.At the critical moment of life and death, no one has to take care of themselves first. Since Gao Chang brought this wild boar back, they left it in their own yard and did not distribute it to others. What else could they say?

As for the dead, whoever is dead is not dead, there is no reason why several courtyards have to die evenly.Besides, the fifth uncle is also very powerful, and there must be a lot of food in their yard. If the people in the yard in Aoli are about to starve to death, go to Shangkan to find them, and the other party will really appreciate the kindness of neighbors and give them to each other. Do they have any food?not necessarily!

"Then what do you think we should do?" Fifth Uncle asked.

"They don't have many people in their yard. If we divide the two yards into one, we can live there. But which one moves into which yard, we don't count, and they themselves don't count. They will draw lots. What do you think?" Like?" Zheng Guohong made a suggestion.

"I'm afraid that the people in the yard at Xiwei will disagree. This matter is unreasonable. Why can't they decide their own affairs?" He spoke to a young man next to Fifth Uncle.

"Whoever we move in our own yard, we can't make the decision either. They can move if they want to, and forget it if they don't." Zheng Guohong's attitude became tougher.Wherever there is a reason to let the fifth uncle and the others take advantage of it, although the fifth uncle is the fifth uncle in the village, most of the courtyard in Shangkan is his direct line, so he cares about his descendants and others have nothing to say, but this old man If he wants to take advantage of their yard every time, then everyone will not care whether he is a fifth uncle or not.

That night, Gao Chang and the others represented the yard in Aoli, and Uncle Wu and the others represented the yard in Shangkan, and they took people with sticks to the yard in Xiwei.Things were progressing fairly smoothly, and the people in that yard were also frightened after this incident. Both the Aoli and Shangkan yards were bigger than their yard, with more people and more wild boars. Good at the end of the stream.

Zheng Guohong asked the men in the yard to help clean up the hall, and then separated a few small rooms just downstairs of the hall for the families of Xiwei to live in.In the future, there will be no halls in their courtyard, and the original spacious hall will only have rooms and a narrow corridor. If there is something to do, they can only sit at the door of someone's house, or gather in the yard to talk.

As for the three wild boars at the end of the stream, one of them was finally taken away by Shangkan's yard. The old cunning fifth uncle took all the women and children out of the yard in the middle of the night, crying and kneeling, saying thank you Gao The four wild boars given by Chang saved their lives, and made him ashamed to fight for the wild boar for their yard, so he had to watch helplessly as the people in Shangkan's yard took it away.

Gao Chang and the others put the remaining two wild boars into the pig trench in a big bamboo basket. After all, they were born by the same sow. These two wild boars soon became familiar with the original five wild boars in the pig trench, and they did not interact with each other. attack thing.

Before dawn, Fifth Uncle asked someone to move 1000 to [-] jin of millet into Gao Chang's yard. They were harvested last autumn, so they were considered old-fashioned, but kind.

If Gao Chang doesn’t collect the food, the people in the yard at Shangkan can’t feel at ease. If the disaster worsens in the future and there will be more rats, if the people in the yard in Auli are forced to be red-eyed, they might really try to rob them After all, these wild boars were said to be given away, and it seems that it is not very unreasonable to return the things given away.If they really wanted to fight, there were so many people in the yard in Aoli, they probably had no chance of winning.

The 1000 two hundred catties of millet were accepted, and the five wild boars belonged to those people in Shangkan. No matter what happened in the future, there was no reason for the people in Au Li to want to return those wild boars. Although the people in their yard were dissatisfied, they also knew that it would be very difficult to get the wild boar back from them.

The current food problem is obviously not as serious as the survival problem, so to be honest, exchanging wild boars for food is definitely a loss-making business.However, it would be a loss to everyone. After eating these grains, seeing how dare these people call him stupid behind his back, Gao Chang looked at the hill-like grain piles in the yard, and opened his throat and shouted: "Who is short of grains?" Yes, hurry up and say it now, this shop will disappear after passing this village."

Hastily ate breakfast and went back to his room, Miaozai got out from nowhere, it no longer challenged Gao Chang and Da Huang's bed, obediently went to the new bamboo basket Gao Chang made for him rest.A velvet blanket spread in a bamboo basket, it scratches with its claws, bites with its teeth, and makes countless threads on the blanket. If you haven’t seen it with your own eyes, it’s hard for ordinary people to believe that this naive-looking cat cub eats it. How bloody and cruel are the living creatures.

Gao Chang was also exhausted that night. Dealing with that old miscellaneous hair was definitely more tiring than doing any heavy work. He lazily leaned on the bed and combed the big yellow hair with his fingers. Because of his improvement, the dog's fur on his body became smoother, and he couldn't help flicking his tail when he was comfortable, and the long hairs on his tail were even more refreshing and beautiful.

"Oh." Gao Chang sighed deeply: "Today is really a big loss."

"We still have grain." Rhubarb also felt that he was at a loss. He borrowed a thousand catties of grain and got back a bunch of things called IOUs.

"Rhubarb." Gao Chang's voice sounded extremely lost.

"Ah?" Rhubarb was puzzled. Although Gao Chang was indeed greedy for money and stingy, he wasn't so pessimistic.

"I don't think I can grow taller anymore." Gao Chang sighed heavily again.

In his previous life, Gao Chang could only be called of medium stature. Although he was not considered short, he was still a long way from being tall and straight.He used to travel between girls' dormitories, and everyone called him a handsome guy who sold skin care products, but everyone in his college was regarded as a handsome guy with a height of 1.8 meters. A man's self-esteem.

In this life, I have finally embarked on the road of cultivation. Seeing myself pumping a centimeter by centimeter, Gao Chang felt so beautiful. His goal is a two-meter-tall man. No matter who he is in front of him in the future It is small'.A while ago, his growth path seemed to be a bit slow, and he hasn’t smoked for a long time. Originally, Gao Chang still held a trace of luck in his heart, thinking that the slowdown was temporary, and he might resume his progress after a while. .

But I don't want to... Gao Chang finally despaired after being knelt down by those people in Shangkan tonight.
