Ning Hong actually quite liked the atmosphere between her uncle's and aunt's families. They discussed everything together, and the two sisters-in-law had a good relationship and never complained.
Ning Hong didn't participate in their discussion; she simply tossed the letter of introduction to them and left.
His uncles even advised him to go to work.
Ning Hong didn't hide her thoughts from him. Instead, she explained all the downsides of going to work, such as food shortages and potential problems with the city's food supply. In that case, she would need her family to send food over.
Of course, this only applies during droughts. Once the drought is over, jobs in the city will definitely be better than farming in the countryside.
After discussing it, the uncles and aunts decided to send their eldest cousin.
My eldest cousin is tall and strong, and he's not married yet, making him a better fit than the others.
After Cui Xiao learned about this, she was filled with rage.
"Brother Xiaoyu is really too much," Cui Xiao said, biting her finger.
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Jing pulled the person over and said, "You should know. I heard he had a job offer letter and immediately wanted to buy it. I wanted to give this job to you so you wouldn't have to work so hard."
"Xiaoxiao." A touch of emotion flashed in Zhang Jing's eyes. "You're so good to me." Of course, Cui Xiao definitely didn't manage to buy the job.
After all, she didn't have that much money.
But he wouldn't sell.
"Oh, why?"
"They said it was for one of his own family members." They even said they didn't mind An Mingyi's change of heart. Look at that, didn't they just give the job to his older cousin?
It's getting hotter and hotter. The ground, which hasn't rained in a long time, is starting to crack.
Under such weather conditions, the rice seedlings were almost unable to survive.
The villagers all looked distressed, not knowing what to do. Of course, a small number of them asked Ning Hong to give them some Yang Fruit seeds. Now, that plot of land is densely covered with Yang Fruit. If the crops wither completely and cannot be saved, they will plant Yang Fruit on the remaining land.
In my past life, when we saw the rice paddies wither, everyone was in a bad mood and wore a long face every day.
This life is different.
It was as if there was hope for the future.
Cui Xiao knew why. After all, they had followed the trend and received a lot of Yang Fruits to plant.
This food is really hard to eat.
It's coarser than whole grains.
But it's better than nothing; at least it fills our stomachs.
In this era, even wild vegetables are treasures; they wouldn't be allowed to be picky.
Once the drought was confirmed, the villagers spontaneously formed groups and went up the mountain.
There are plenty of game and wild vegetables on the mountain.
They always want to prepare some different kinds of food for themselves.
Of course, they wouldn't forget Ning Hongze's share either.
Every few days, someone would deliver a basket of things and leave it at Ning Hongze's doorstep.
There are actually quite a few good-for-nothings in the village.
However, they wouldn't touch anything given to Ning Hongze, no matter how much they wanted it. They all knew that the Yang Fruit was given to them by Ning Hongze.
With this Yang fruit, the people in their village will not go hungry.
Several people came to the village that day.
They're all from the next village, and they're all related to people from their village.
These people were so hungry their lips had turned blue.
Although it is said that relief food will be provided, the relief food should first be given to those who do not have land. As for those who have land, they can only wait for a while.
However, they had already eaten all of their grain after delivering it last year.
During this period, they practically lived on wild vegetables, and their faces turned green from eating them.
Hearing the news at home, Ning Hongze couldn't help but shake her head. "The drought has only just begun, and they are already struggling. If it continues for a while longer, these people might take desperate measures."
Having eaten all their own food, they can only steal food from others.
Three people from the An family also came.
They look like a family of four.
A couple, with two children.
My son is fifteen years old this year. When he came to Anjia, his eyes were bright and he looked quite clever.
The other one was a daughter, a skinny daughter.
She shyly hid behind her father.
They were relatives of the An family. They were An's mother's distant cousin, Chen Dashan.
Seeing their miserable state, An's mother went to get some Yang fruit, added some wild vegetables and minced meat, and made them a coarse grain and meat soup.
Upon seeing the food, the four people devoured the entire pot like hungry ghosts.
After the youngest son finished eating, he even licked the bowl and chopsticks clean.
Ning Xiaoyu was disgusted.
If you were a four or five-year-old child, that would be one thing, but you're already fifteen, and you're still like this?! It's just...unacceptable!
However, since he was An's mother's relative, even though Ning Xiaoyu had mentally cursed the boy in front of her countless times, she still smiled sweetly on her face.
Never mind, she'll just go to her brother's place later and get some hot water to scald these bowls and chopsticks.
"I never imagined my cousin was living such a good life!"
Although it's a coarse grain, it contains minced meat and wild vegetables, so it's quite a feast.
"This is all thanks to my daughter-in-law's brother's help." Mother An looked at Ning Xiaoyu with a smile on her face.
She wasn't making this up; Ning Hongze had brought all the wild vegetables and meat. As for his purpose, she knew perfectly well: he wanted to nourish his sister's body, as Xiaoyu's health was a bit weak.
Therefore, Xiaoyu has always been the one who eats the best at Anjia.
Xiaoyu also protested.
How could she eat alone? If neither An's mother nor An Mingyi were eating, she naturally wouldn't eat either.
An's mother was pleased with Xiaoyu's thoughtfulness and filial piety.
But... she glanced at Xiaoyu's belly.
Xiaoyu doesn't seem to have changed her clothes this month, so it's very likely she's pregnant.
She naturally needs to replenish her nutrients.
Judging from Xiaoyu's expression, she seemed to be unaware of the situation herself.
She needs to keep an eye on things more.
Looking at Ning Xiaoyu, Zhang Yuan felt extremely jealous.
How wonderful it is to be in this home! I don't have to go hungry, and I can wear beautiful clothes.
Her gaze lingered on Ning Xiaoyu.
"Auntie, your wife's clothes are so pretty!" Look at you, your wife is still going out and wasting money at a time like this!
She tugged at her old clothes.
Her clothes no longer fit. But no one in the family thought of buying her a new outfit.
Seeing Ning Xiaoyu dressed so beautifully, jealousy was burning her reason.
“Yes, I think so too. Her older brother has great taste,” Mother An said with a smile, her smile widening.
The older brother-in-law not only bought it for Xiaoyu, but also bought it for her.
Even Mingyi got two sets.
"Is it my cousin-in-law again?"
