Dressed as a farmer's little blessing, the road to escape the deserted

At noon on this day, every family ate pork.

Even if wild boar firewood takes an extra ladle of water, no one will feel distressed.

Li Lao Er and Li Lao Si dragged the wild boar into the city.

Wild boars are not as expensive as domestic pigs, but the butchers are happy to accept them.

And the two pigs gave eight taels of silver, one tael more than usual.

Not for anything else, because it is rare.

This year there was a severe drought and there was no harvest.

People can't get enough to eat, so who would raise pigs?

In the county town, some butcher shops are out of stock.

Some people wandered around the villages outside the county seat.

The ones bought back were all piglets that the families could not afford.

A weight of seventy or eighty catties is not bad.

The Li family sent these two pigs, both weighing nearly three hundred catties.

Lard can be boiled out a lot...

Li Lao Er and Li Lao Si are also very satisfied.

The two wandered around the city.

When the drought started, they rarely went to the city.

Now look at the unprecedented depression on the streets.

There was a long queue in front of the grain store.

Everyone looked anxiously, and looked into the grain shop with their feet up.

The price of grain is written on the wooden board in front of the grain shop.

It has more than doubled...

Another place with a lot of people is the four deep wells dug when the city was built.

There is one mouth in the southeast and northwest of the county seat.

Because of the deep digging, even in such a dry time, water can barely be reached.

The county government specially sent a servant to guard it.

Every household can only make half a barrel, and if it is not enough, you have to endure it.

Missing Jiaren, the two brothers made a special trip to the academy.

Jiaren quickly ran to the back door, very happy to see his father and uncle.

Jiaren was a little thin, and his lips didn't look so thirsty.

Li Lao Er was a little relieved and asked carefully.

It turned out that the dean of the college had seen a severe drought when he was young and studying abroad.

When building the college, a hundred taels of silver were spent and a deep well was dug.

Even deeper than the four mouths in the city.

These days, the college's water use has not been affected much.

Jiaren was also thinking about his family, so he said.

"Father, discuss it with grandma.

Let's move into the city too!

I rent a yard nearby, and I bring water home every day.

Not necessarily enough, but at least not too thirsty. "

Li Laoer is pleased that his son is filial and sensible.

He whispered about the water in the well at home.

Jiaren's eyes were red with joy.

"It's great, it's great, I'm afraid even in my dreams.

I am afraid that there is no water at home...

Grandma always said that Fu Niuer is blessed, and our family is blessed.

Look now, grandma was right.

The terrain of our house is relatively high in the village, but our well has water. "

Li Laosi was pleased to hear that Fu Niu was his daughter.

He directly gave Jiaren Erliang the money for selling wild boars.

"At this time, stay in self-defense.

Once you have a bad time in the academy, go home quickly. "

"Understood, Fourth Uncle."

Jiaren didn't refuse either.

After a few more gossips, Li Lao Er and Li Lao Si went out of the city and went home.

Li Laosi hesitated and asked.

"Second brother, do you want to go see...Second sister-in-law?"

"No, I just delivered food to her a few days ago."

The second brother Li replied without saying anything more.

In fact, he sold half of the [-] catties of sorghum and [-] catties of millet given by his family.

The rest was sent to Wu Cuihua.

He knew Wu Cuihua too well.

If she sees that the food sent by the family is not a lot.

I am afraid that I will know immediately that there is no shortage of food at home.

At that time, I don't know what will happen again.

Don't talk about the two brothers rushing home, just talk about the courtyard in the north of the city.

Wu Cuihua was boiling millet porridge in a pot, sweating profusely from the heat.

As a result, the porridge was ready, and she drank it up as soon as she turned her head.

Wu Ergou was holding a big bowl, purring.

On one side stood Liu Laifu and Mrs. Guo.

These two women also have a big bowl for each person, and they are disgusted while drinking.

"I said Cuihua, you can't add a handful of rice when you cook porridge.

Looking at the porridge boiled, people can be seen. "

Guo Shi's lips curled up like he was going to heaven, and his face was full of displeasure.

Wu Cuihua was furious and couldn't bear it anymore.

She snatched Guo's bowl with her hands.

"Do you want your family to lose face!

Since I moved into this yard, I have been eating all day long!

You think my family has mountains of gold and silver!

If you think this porridge is thin, why do you still come to eat it?

Why didn't you give me a bowl when you secretly made porridge! "

Guo was so angry that he jumped up and wanted to grab the porridge bowl back.

Wu Cuihua drank the porridge in one gulp.

Mrs. Guo pinched her waist and cursed, "Bitch hoof, taking a mouthful of porridge is giving you face!

I am your aunt, the younger generation should respect the elders!

We have come to you, why don't you care.

I didn't eat your gold and silver, you just care about a mouthful of porridge!

When our family is well-developed, even if you flatter me, you won't be able to find the door! "

Wu Cuihua did not show weakness, and immediately scolded back.

"When our family defected to you, you didn't care about it?

Our two families have been divorced long ago!

What aunt, don't come here to pack garlic!

I don't eat my own food, I come here every day to take advantage of it!

If I had known this earlier, I wouldn’t have rented a house for you if you killed me! "

She has 1 regrets, and her intestines are all blue and purple.

Earlier, the younger brother sold the grain sent by the Li family.

She really had no choice but to do some work with the women in the nearby yard.

Starving and washing clothes and the like, barely starved to death.

Finally, relying on the sweetness of his mouth, he got a dime of silver in the hands of the nobleman.

Buy some food, don't wait for a full meal.

The drought started, and the city lacked water, so the work of washing clothes was naturally gone.

Then, the Liu family followed Liu Laifu and defected here.

She was stunned by the kind words of the Liu family.

Help rented two vacant rooms in this yard.

Even if this disturbing thing started endlessly.

In the past, it was Liu Laifu who came to eat, but now, the whole family is staring at her cooking pot.

As soon as she cooks, anyone in the Liu family who catches up with them will eat.

Neither scolding nor arguing.

If she hadn't hid it tightly, the food bag might have been taken away.

She misses her time in Qingshui Village very much.

There is the protection of her husband's family, and the evil spirit of Li Laosi.

The Liu family didn't even dare to pass by the gate easily.

At this time, it's time to bully her!

Mrs. Guo wiped her mouth, feeling a little sorry for the half bowl of porridge that she didn't finish.

If she takes a bite here, the family will save a handful of rice.

She doesn't care if someone points her nose.

"Things that are not filial, no wonder your husband's family doesn't want you.

You scold me every time you take a bite of porridge.

Hmph, eating you is because I think highly of you! "

She squirmed and went back to the house, not forgetting to say the next sentence.

"Just be content, those people in the village will probably die of thirst.

It's not bad if your mother-in-law's family didn't come.

If you mess with me again, I will ask Su Niang to deliver the letter.

It depends on what you do when the time comes, not to mention food, there is no place to sleep. "

Sure enough, Wu Cuihua shut up immediately.

Although she didn't know what was going on in the village, she felt bad no matter what she thought about it.

Otherwise, a strong person like Mrs. Li couldn't just give her half of the food.

Don't be a crow's mouth, Mrs. Guo, if they all come here, what should she do.

This house is rented by the Li family...

In fact, she was really worried for nothing.

Not only did the Li family have water to drink, but they were even eating meat right now.

The wild pork has been stewed for nearly two hours, and it is already overcooked.

Not to mention the young and old in the family, even Jiayin hugged a bowl of meat porridge, which was delicious.
