There was only so much food, and a third of it was gone in one go, leaving only two-thirds.
Not to mention the large number of people in the county, there are also so many people in each brigade!
Now, County Chief Qian only hopes that the people in the villages below can be like those in Xishan Village, able to rely on themselves without depending on the county.
Unfortunately, hope is beautiful, but reality is cruel.
Even if the remaining two-thirds were distributed to the county town, it would be a drop in the ocean.
However, thinking about the message that Fu Hongxing had sent with the monkey...
As long as the necessary supplies are transported over there, several more batches of grain can be brought down. Qian Xianmin's only hope now is that everyone can get through this period.
After speaking with Director Kang, Fu Hongxing hurried back with the grain.
As darkness was falling, Fu Hongxing had just arrived at the entrance of the village.
It's fortunate that it's the dead of winter, so everyone isn't gathering at the village entrance to cool off and gossip.
In addition, with the current food shortage, more and more people are coming from other villages to borrow grain.
Many people are hiding their food very carefully, and even families that usually have enough to eat are now halving their food supplies.
Anyway, we're hibernating in winter, and we're not doing much work, so what's the point of eating so much?
Since they couldn't get enough to eat, these men, young and old, naturally stayed huddled in their blankets, trying not to move as much as possible.
Otherwise, if you're too active, your stomach will rumble with hunger, but there's nothing to eat.
Therefore, no one saw Fu Hongxing carrying a sack of grain back.
When he arrived at his doorstep, Ning Jing was making clothes in her room.
Meanwhile, the other children were diligently doing the homework she had assigned.
Xiuhua and Tiedan would sometimes come over to ask Ningjing about things they didn't understand.
Ning Jing would stop her needlework and break down the problems for them in detail.
For some reason, Xiuhua and Tiedan always felt that their sister-in-law was incredibly clever.
The knowledge that my older brother taught my sister-in-law was always applied to other situations by my sister-in-law, and she thought of things more than anyone else.
When they heard the knocking on the courtyard gate, Xiuhua and Tiedan's expressions changed immediately.
They both looked at Ning Jing simultaneously, and they both thought of Wang Laowu lying on the ground that day.
It's already dark, so most people in the village shouldn't be going out.
Xiuchun and Siya, on the other hand, had no idea what was going on. They just watched their older brother and sister looking at their sister-in-law, and they couldn't help but look at Ningjing as well.
Siya suddenly stood up, her face full of excitement, and said, "Sister-in-law, is it my eldest brother who's back?"
Ning Jing had exchanged glances with Xiu Hua and Tie Dan, feeling somewhat uncertain.
Although the news that Fu Mingqiang brought back was that Wang Laowu had been in a coma in the hospital, and the village chief had even taken money to the hospital.
But so many days have passed, who knows if Wang Laowu has woken up yet!
Just as she was hesitating, Ning Jing's heart skipped a beat when she heard Siya's words.
Yeah, it's also possible that Fu Hongxing has come back?
Thinking of this, she put down the half-finished clothes she was making, gripped the police baton that had been beside her since that night, and hurriedly ran out.
“Who…is it?”
When she reached the courtyard gate, Ning Jing's mind finally calmed down a little.
Then, gripping his baton tightly, he asked the person knocking on the gate of the courtyard.
"Honey, it's me, I'm home."
As that familiar voice entered her ears, Ning Jing's tense mind immediately relaxed.
He hurriedly opened the courtyard gate and lunged at the tall, dark figure standing outside.
