Chapter 58: Mother Lu: My son doesn’t know how to farm, how can he find a solution? (2/2)

Seeing Chen Jiaojiao coming over, Lu Qi subconsciously felt that something bad was going to happen.

Shen Jiaojiao was not stupid, so she naturally felt Lu Li's undisguised disgust. She cursed this old man in her heart, asking who he was showing off his gloomy face to every day!

She cursed in her heart, but the smile on her face did not diminish. She smiled flatteringly, "Mom, I came to bring some food to you and Dad. Look, I brought it to you right after the food was delivered this afternoon."

Hearing this, Lu Li was surprised. He followed the other person's line of sight and saw half a sack of cabbage at her feet.

Oh my god, is the sun rising from the west?

Lu Yu glanced at Chen Jiaojiao in confusion, and finally he was willing to give her a bit of good face, so his sullen expression eased a little, he stepped aside, and said lightly, "You are thoughtful, all right, come in."

After saying that, he turned and went into the house.

Shen Jiaojiao almost gritted her teeth when she saw that she had no intention of helping.

This damn old woman, she moved here from home alone, and she doesn’t even know how to lend a hand. Does she treat her like a maid?

Although she was angry, Chen Jiaojiao couldn't really turn her back on her mother-in-law, so she could only carry the vegetables into the house breathlessly.

Lu Li was already sitting upright on the sofa, looking at Shen Jiaojiao calmly. Seeing that she was struggling to carry even half a bag of vegetables, he immediately became furious.

If a twenty-year-old young man in a family can't even carry half a bag of vegetables, his family must have married a slut. He can't do anything, but he can make money and cause trouble!

Lu Qi rolled his eyes and said, "Forget it, just leave it there."

After saying that, she got up and went to help. The weather at home was hot, so she had to go to the kitchen. That room was in the shade and could store vegetables.

But as soon as she picked it up, she realized something was wrong. She lifted it up easily with one hand, but it looked like it weighed only 20 pounds.

Lu Qi was suspicious and shook his head again, "That's not right, why are there so few vegetables? Don't families usually have 100 to 200 kilograms of vegetables?"

Lu Qi was a little angry, and thought that Shen Jiaojiao was reluctant to give it to her, so she took such a small thing to fool her.

Seeing her mother-in-law's face gradually becoming gloomy, Shen Jiaojiao hurriedly explained, "Mom, you don't know, the yield of both vegetables and grains in our hometown is very small. We only got 10 kilograms a day. Look, I just distributed the vegetables, and I gave half to you and dad."

She heard about the reduction in grain production, but didn't say anything else.

After all, she works in the canteen every day. The military wives grow food and vegetables, and some of them are sent directly to the canteen. Recently, I have heard many complaints from the canteen chefs that the vegetables sent by the logistics department are getting less and less.

At this point, Lu Li no longer had any doubts, but just lamented that his life was becoming increasingly difficult.

Seeing that Lu Yu did not doubt her reasons, Shen Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief. She did not dare to tell him that she was given less vegetables, not only because of the reduction in grain production, but also because she was lazy before and had a lot of work points deducted.

Lu Qi was also very worried. The situation had become increasingly serious recently, and no policy had been issued from above. If things continued like this, food would become more and more expensive in the future. Each community distributed food in a fixed quantity, and if they wanted to buy food, they could only go to the countryside or the black market.

That price was not something they could afford, and Lu Qi was a little worried. Fortunately, there were four people in their family, and three of them had salaries. Even if the price really went up, they should be able to hold on, but Lu Qi was still worried about it.

Seeing this, Shen Jiaojiao hurriedly comforted Lu Li, "Mom, you don't have to worry too much. Yunshan is here to take care of the food issue. Maybe after a while, he will be able to think of a way to solve this problem?"

Shen Jiaojiao was very proud, as if she had a clear idea about the matter.

But Lu Qi was very confused, "Yunshan? What does this have to do with him? My son doesn't know how to farm, how could he possibly help?"
