He pretended to leave.

Zhu Lihua quickly grabbed him and tried to persuade him, saying that food was life-saving these days and how could he expect others to send it all to him.

After much persuasion, he finally accepted the items.

Shen Kuo politely declined Zhu Lihua's request to stay for dinner, saying that the elderly people at home were still waiting for him to return.

Zhu Lihua didn't force it. First of all, she hadn't prepared anything delicious, and she couldn't treat the guests to wild vegetable cakes.

I'll invite him to dinner when I have the chance.

She made up her mind secretly.

Shen Kuo stepped onto the carriage and said in a cool tone, "Auntie, don't worry. As long as I have a bite to eat, I won't let our sister go hungry!"

Zhu Lihua was so moved that she almost cried. What a nice person.

It’s much more reliable than Goudan and the others at first glance.

Even Qin Qing couldn't help but secretly give him a thumbs up. This guy will definitely have his place in the entertainment industry in the next twenty years. His acting skills are amazing.

If it weren't for the ten dollars she spent, she would have almost believed his lies.

Qin Qing turned around and saw Zhu Lihua looking at her with a loving face.

"Nannan, you are a blessed one!"

Even in this famine year, you won’t starve.

What a blessing! My original body was starved to death, otherwise, how could I be here?

But of course Qin Qing couldn't refute Zhu Lihua.

"Mom, there's more food anyway. Let's have pancakes for breakfast. I'll get up and make them with you. I'm craving them after not doing anything for so long."

Zhu Lihua tapped her daughter's forehead.

"Okay! I'll eat pancakes early." In fact, she didn't want to miss her breakfast.

The men in the family do all the hard work, and even Qin Zhilin now goes to the fields with them, just to harvest more food in the autumn.

Every time she saw them working on an empty stomach, she felt very sad, but what could she do?

If you are not ruthless now, what will you do if problems arise in the future?

The food arrived just in time and solved his urgent need.

She looked closely and found that there were still nearly 20 kilograms of white flour.

Shen Kuo was so generous.

"Nannan, your brother is so generous. He even packed this flour for us. Mom was thinking about having your dad carry it to town to exchange for some flour someday. That way, we can have a few more meals! What do you think?"

These were the food people gave to Qin Qing. Although one pound of white flour could be exchanged for two or three pounds of cornmeal, she still had to explain it to her daughter.

Qin Qing leaned her head obediently on Zhu Lihua's arm.

"Mom, you have the final say."

Zhu Lihua's heart suddenly felt warm.

"By the way, I still have to treat him to a meal someday. There's no point in taking his food for free!"

Qin Qing nodded. She guessed that Shen Kuo would feel embarrassed to come and have the meal for free.

The Qin father and son who came in later were originally hungry. After Zhiyu's family added some more food, the two brothers Goudan were so excited that they almost jumped up. Finally, they didn't have to go to work on an empty stomach every morning.

That's not a pleasant feeling.

After knowing the origin of the food, Goudan hung his head in frustration. Not only was he not as capable as his sister, he was not even as good as this outsider brother. The brother was an employee of a machinery factory and had sent dozens of kilograms of food to their family at once.

Qin Qing noticed Goudan's disappointment, and quietly ran up behind him to scare him. Seeing his helpless and indulgent eyes, she giggled and interrupted him.

"Brother! I'll bring you some water this morning. After dinner, can you go to the village to get some mint leaves?"

Goudan nodded heavily upon hearing this, and said seriously, "Okay!"

At the head of the village is where the barefoot doctor lives. There is a small vegetable patch surrounded by bamboo baskets, in which many common herbs are planted. Dogs are usually kept there to prevent people from approaching.

In this famine year, dogs have been eaten long ago, so there are few people here.

It was only when these children came that Doctor Zhong turned a blind eye. He was only on guard against those unscrupulous people who stole his herbs and sold them for money.

In this year of famine, these herbs are becoming even more precious.

If someone has a headache or a fever, he would be willing to pick some and have them take it back to boil in water to drink.

Qin Qing made up her mind and asked her elder brother to pick mint leaves.

She will definitely bring water tomorrow!!!
