This stuff isn't cheap.
Yang Lian chuckled twice, stuffed the two big front doors under the old man's pillow, and instructed him, "If there's a chance, ask your captain to change you to a lighter job. You're an old man, and you're still carrying manure. Aren't you tired?"
Chen Yuanzhi was speechless after being scolded by his grandson.
I didn't realize this guy was so insightful.
Looking at the white rice brought by the young man, the old man touched it again and again with regret.
"What are you going to do with this good stuff? I, an old man, will never starve in this Ma Village!"
The boy looked skeptical.
Chen Yuanzhi immediately whispered into the boy's ear.
"Really? The captain led people to open up the wasteland and dug up a lot of kudzu root. It's better than food. We old guys also benefited from it and got a good share."
As he spoke, he took out a thick tuberous root from the basket under the bed and handed it to the boy for a closer look.
This thing has long, hard yellow hairs, a bit like a sweet potato, and you can tell at first glance that it grew wild.
The young man stared at it without blinking.
There is no such rare thing in their village.
The old man said smugly, "This was discovered by your Grandpa Lu, so we can all get a share. It's a pity that it's not fully ripe yet, otherwise we could dig up more!"
The young man suddenly thought of something and said quickly, "Master, I also want to see how this thing is dug!"
Upon hearing this, the old man glared at his grandson, and the latter shut his mouth anxiously.
"Captain Ma and his men are on high alert. You, a stranger from another village, still want to go and see them? Dream on!"
"Also, watch your mouth and don't make the wrong call again."
…
"Brother Shen! Over here, over here..." Qin Qing stood on tiptoe and waved.
Seeing this, Shen Kuo quickly pressed the brakes and stopped the car steadily.
The man looked around and whispered, "Girl, I've found a source of goods. He charges 60 cents a pound for rice, 12 cents for cornmeal, and 8 cents for sorghum. Do you want some?"
Qin Qing pinched the money in his hand and broke out in a cold sweat.
The current situation is becoming increasingly serious. The money in our hands is just a dead thing. It would be great if we could exchange it for food.
Thinking of this, she immediately said, "I don't want rice, but can I have 100 kilograms of cornmeal and 200 kilograms of sorghum rice?" All in all, the money she had was only enough to buy these things.
I'll get some things out of the apartment when the time comes.
That's it.
The man solemnly took the money from the little girl.
Smiling, he said, "Just give it to me without worry. I promise to buy it for you... By the way, do you need me to take you home?"
Qin Qing waved her hand. Shitou would come to pick her up every day, but today she had someone come a little later and then turned to the town entrance to wait for Shen Kuo.
The girl carefully instructed, "Brother Shen, please send it to me on the weekend. Don't forget it."
"Yes!"
The man smiled helplessly and rode away on his bike.
Qin Qing breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Shen Kuo's back getting farther and farther away.
These days, having food is the most important thing.
Now she just waits for food to be delivered.
When I was walking back, I happened to meet Shi Tou who was coming over.
Seeing Qin Qing who had already left the school, Shitou's eyes showed some regret.
"Sister, are you out of school early?"
Qin Qing laughed awkwardly twice.
"Uh-huh."
He quickly pulled his brother back.
It was so thrilling, it was almost there.
It was broken by a stone.
