Old man Shen, who sneaked out to borrow food, went to several families with whom he had a good relationship.
As a result, as soon as they asked to borrow some food for emergency, they were evaded by saying that there was not much food left at home.
Old man Shen's face became more and more embarrassed.
He thought that now that he was willing to sacrifice his dignity to borrow from others, he should be able to borrow at least ten or eight kilograms, right?
As a result, I went to several stores but still came back empty-handed.
Old Man Shen didn't know about this, and his family thought they had kept it a secret very well, but in fact, most people in the village knew that the third son of the Shen family was taken to the Public Security Bureau.
In order to redeem the person, Old Man Shen borrowed money from the educated youth Hu Lili.
In the eyes of others, the Shen family is now like a bottomless pit.
And because of what happened between him and Shen Siyue, everyone in the village knew about it.
Especially the Shen family's brother-in-law Zhao Changgui, who is a tyrannical person.
The Shen family today is not the same Shen family as before.
The older generation looked down on Old Man Shen for being greedy for money and pushing his granddaughter into the fire.
The younger generation can’t stand the shameless things done by the Shen family.
Therefore, when the villagers meet the Shen family now, they can talk, chat, and watch the fun, but when it comes to borrowing grain with real guns and ammunition, that is absolutely impossible.
What if the Shen family borrowed food and couldn't pay it back later, would their own family members starve?
Old man Shen walked slowly home with a gloomy face.
He really didn't expect that his old face was not worth even a pound of food.
When passing by Liu Changshan's house, Old Man Shen stopped, hesitated for a long time, and finally turned around and walked away.
The time for distributing grain in spring is fixed, and it is impossible to advance it just because of his family.
Even if he goes in, I guess it would be useless to say anything and he would just lose face.
Old man Shen, who always had a straight back, bent down this time.
On the way home, Old Man Shen frowned and looked at the bare walls on both sides, feeling emotional, a penny can really make a hero fall!!!
Old man Shen, who had not borrowed any food, had been staying at home for several days without saying a word.
Let the other people in the family complain and quarrel.
That day, Shen Limin was so hungry that he couldn't stand it anymore. He quietly pulled Shen Weimin aside to talk in private.
"Brother, do you think Hu Lili's food is hidden in the kang cabinet in the west room? Should we...?"
After saying this, he raised his hand and gestured, the meaning was self-evident.
But Shen Weimin still had a grudge against Hu Lili because of the last incident and didn't want to lose face in front of her, so he rejected Shen Limin.
"If she finds out that there's less food, we'll be the first ones she suspects. Don't ask for trouble."
Shen Limin rolled his eyes at his brother: "I think you are attracted to her, why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? We are almost starving to death, and she didn't even say she would give you a bite to eat. It's obvious that she doesn't like you. Are you still daydreaming?"
Shen Weimin was exposed and immediately became angry and slapped Shen Limin on the head: "What nonsense are you talking about? I don't like her. With her small body, she won't be able to dig in the spring with a pickaxe."
Shen Limin sneered at Shen Weimin. His elder brother was usually listless and always wanted to hide behind the crowd to get benefits.
Ever since Hu Lili came, his eyes have been fixed on her. Don't you think he didn't notice it?
But he was too lazy to argue with Shen Weimin about these bullshit things. The most urgent thing now was to fill his stomach.
Hu Lili now feels that everyone in the Shen family wants to harm her.
She didn't dare to cook at Shen's house anymore. She gave her meal rations to Zhang Yumei and asked her to bring her own food when she cooked.
After dinner, Hu Lili visited the homes of the villagers where the educated youth lived. She tried not to go home if possible.
This actually provides Shen Limin with time.
He used a piece of wire to pry open the padlock that Hu Lili bought herself, and then pulled out her backpack and the bag of food.
When he opened Hu Lili's backpack, he found that in addition to some clothes, there were also some pastries that he had never seen before.
Not to mention taking a bite, just the smell made him drool.
But he is not stupid.
The pastry was wrapped so well that if he took a bite, Hu Lili would know immediately when she came back.
So Shen Limin tried his best to endure his rumbling stomach and scooped out half a bowl of food from the bag.
He didn't dare take more, for fear that Hu Lili would find out if he took too much at once!
Then he carefully stuffed her backpack and the bag of food back together.
He locked the padlock again and went down to the field carrying half a bowl of food.
He didn't even wash the rice, but poured it directly into the pot, added some water and started to light the fire.
Shen Weimin couldn't wait until it was time to eat. Besides, if everyone had to share this little bit of food, how much could each person get?
He was risking stealing, not doing good deeds and letting himself go hungry.
The people in the house heard the crackling sound of a fire burning in the outer room. Old Man Shen asked, "What are you doing underground? Why are you burning a fire at this time?"
Shen Limin replied casually: "There is no hot water. I will boil some hot water to drink."
Gradually, the unique aroma of the food in the pot emerged.
Shen Limin stared at the door curtain of the east room nervously, afraid that someone would come out at this time.
He stood up, opened the door, and let the cold wind in, which immediately blew away a lot of the smell in the room.
When he estimated that the porridge in the pot was almost cooked, he took a large bowl from the bowl rack, then opened the lid of the pot and quickly poured all the porridge into the large bowl.
In order to destroy the evidence, he added a ladle of cold water and scrubbed the pot.
Then he picked up the big bowl of porridge and ran out of the Shen family.
He would not give this bowl of porridge to anyone, so he found a corner where no one was, and without caring whether the porridge was hot or not, he poured it into his mouth.
Even though my mouth was burned, I couldn't resist the feeling of hunger.
Soon, a large bowl of porridge was eaten up by Shen Limin.
He licked the bowl in circles with his tongue, wishing he could swallow the bowl as well.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from above his head: "What are you doing?"
Shen Limin froze, and when he looked up, he saw that it was actually a stone.
He quickly hid the bowl behind him and stood up, staring at the stone warily: "What I do has nothing to do with you? Stop meddling in other people's business and get out of here!"
Shi Tou saw that he looked guilty, and thinking about how he had just eaten secretly, he had some guesses in his mind.
If it weren’t for Shen Siyue, he wouldn’t bother to care about what the Shen family did!
But seeing how Shen Limin was eating behind people's backs just now, I'm afraid the Shen family is having a hard time now.
Then he would have to remind Shen Siyue to be careful and on guard.
