1960s: My Birth Mother Abandoned Me on the Road to Escape Famine

Qin Qing, a graduating student, was rushing to finish her thesis late at night when she stumbled and fell, only to wake up in the 1960s, right in the midst of a great famine. Completely disoriented...

Chapter 324 Carrying Water (1/2)

Chapter 324 Carrying Water

Qin Qing was not actually angry, but just felt a little aggrieved.

After making such a long journey and getting nothing in return, anyone would feel bad.

It was a good opportunity to take advantage of this opportunity to deliver something and relax, and relieve the depression in my heart.

When they arrived at Old Qin's house, Old Lady Lu was still there. Seeing Qin Qing coming in, she was stunned for a moment, slapped her forehead and said, "Look at my memory. I even forgot to go to my darling's place..."

Qin Qing smiled helplessly, "Grandma, it's the same if I bring it to you. Aren't my brothers off work yet?"

"I got home early. The village just issued a notice asking all the young people to go to the reed marshes to carry water to irrigate the rice and corn fields to alleviate the drought. Why, didn't Liansheng go?"

"I don't know about that." Qin Qing was rarely confused for a moment.

Does this mean that Yang Kaifu understands that a drought is coming?

Old Lady Lu said mysteriously, "It hasn't rained in ages. If it continues like this, the crops in the fields won't be able to withstand it. Fortunately, Kaifu is a responsible person. He has sent these young people with nowhere to vent their energy to fetch water from the streams, which has at least alleviated the pressure a little."

The high temperatures in recent days have made the hardworking farmers feel uneasy.

Qin Qing put down the chicken soup and reminded her at the right time, "Grandma, tell my mom and the others that if there is any extra money at home, please buy some food and keep it safe."

Old Mrs. Lu looked at the youngest child in surprise.

With a look of relief on her face, she said, "You and your brother are on the same page. He said the same thing last night. I didn't take it seriously at first. It seems that you young people are more far-sighted. We should make some preparations. There's a pregnant woman in the family, so we can't be careless."

Zhong Xiaolan's busy figure shuttled back and forth in the kitchen.

Qin Qing took a look and said loudly, "Sister-in-law, I'm going back first. Tomorrow you can ask my elder sister to pick you up and take you to my yard."

After saying that, Qin Qing raised an eyebrow at Old Lady Lu and said, "Grandma, don't worry. Liansheng and I are here to take care of everything."

No matter what, I will never live the life of eating coarse grains and vegetables as before.

Zhong Xiaolan hurriedly chased after him.

She wiped her apron and said, "Qingqing, just eat here. Sister-in-law has prepared it. Let's eat first. It's rare for you to come home and cook..."

"No, Liansheng is still waiting at home." Qin Qing declined politely.

On the way, I met some young people carrying water up the mountain.

When Qin Qing got home, he found the house empty.

The food on the table was untouched.

It seems that Yang Liansheng went out as soon as he received the news and didn't even have time to eat.

Qin Qing was in a depressed mood.

Cover the food aside.

Poor guy is Qin Zegang.

Tired and hungry.

I walked back from the town eagerly and haven't sat down to rest yet.

Before he could even drink a sip of water, the village suddenly notified him and sent him to do hard labor.

Although there is work.

But this is too tiring.

He was carrying water, his steps were unsteady, even his lips were dry and flaky, he looked extremely haggard.

As I walked unsteadily on the mountain road, a lot of water in the buckets spilled out.

Goudan, who was walking behind, said distressedly, "Gangzi, if you really don't want to, just go slowly. Don't spill the water. It would be such a pity!"

Qin Zegang stopped suddenly and threw the carrying pole to the ground.

With a slightly angry tone, he said, "You're talking while standing, and your waist doesn't hurt. I walked back from town and came to work without even having a bite to eat. How can I be the same as you?"

"We haven't eaten either." Goudan was speechless.

But looking at Qin Zegang's extremely tired look, it didn't seem like he was pretending.

He sighed and said, "Look at you, why are you so stubborn with your aunt? Just admit your mistake and it will be over. Why go through so much trouble?"

Song Huilan had come to say hello a long time ago.

They are not allowed to give Qin Zegang a ride to and from get off work.

She must let her precious son feel the sufferings of the world.

It seems to be quite effective so far.

Qin Zegang looked miserable.

He hung his head and said, "I admitted my mistake a long time ago. What's wrong with me? It's my eccentric wife!"
