One thousand roux of fine grains, one thousand roux of coarse grains, eggs, pork, lard, a bucket of fish and a bucket of shrimp, cloth, cotton, milk powder and malted milk, soybeans and mung beans, brown sugar, live chickens...
In a short while, the ear room and the storage room were filled up.
Qiao Jiuru paid Xiao Lei for these things and secretly gave him two more dollars.
"Xiao Lei, if I need you again, where can I find you next time?!"
"Aunt, you can find me at the black market at Concord Hospital. Just tell me my name."
Xiao Lei never expected that this aunt who seemed particularly well-educated and sensible would be so generous and actually gave him more money privately.
What's more, my aunt was introduced by Uncle Guang, so she can be completely trusted.
So, Xiao Lei told Qiao Jiuru the location of the black market where he had been stationed.
"Thank you, Xiao Lei. We will come to you again when we need you."
Qiao Jiuru thanked Xiao Lei while sending him and the three men away.
After watching them disappear into the darkness, Qiao Jiuru immediately closed the door and hurriedly put all the supplies into the space with Su Huaiyuan. Afterwards, the couple entered the space together.
"Aru, this much food should be enough for us to eat for two years. We don't need to be so anxious and stressed from now on."
Su Huaiyuan looked at the rice, flour, meat, eggs, etc. piled on the ground, and he felt relieved.
Not to mention, they had been clearing land in the space during their free time these past two days, and had unknowingly dug out two acres of land.
These two acres of land are being dug and planted at the same time. Now we have planted sweet potatoes, potatoes, cabbage, onions, garlic, and ginger.
What surprised them the most and what they found magical was that small green seedlings had already sprouted in the sweet potato and potato fields.
"Once we find a place to put it, we will find seeds to plant wheat and rice, and also some more vegetables."
Qiao Jiuru became more confident about his future life, felt more and more confident, and gradually gained a sense of security.
"There's so much land here, can't we just plant as much as we want?! Sometimes we won't be able to eat all the food."
Su Huaiyuan looked at the vast fertile land in front of him and felt that the future was bright. He didn't think that the days ahead would be difficult at all.
He is willing to work and farm. As long as his family has enough food to eat, he is not afraid of anything.
"Okay, I'll let you plant it all the time."
Qiao Jiuru was in the mood to joke now, and he became much calmer about what was going to happen the night after tomorrow.
The couple first poured the fish and shrimp into the river in the space, watered the potatoes and sweet potatoes planted in the field, and paid attention to the situation outside the space.
Half an hour has passed, and the outside is still as quiet as a chicken. It seems that no one wants to rob them.
"Huaiyuan, let's go to the black market again and buy as much as we can. Over a hundred bucks of rice and flour will be enough for us to eat for two months."
If you have food in your hands, you will not be afraid.
Moreover, they still have nearly 3,000 yuan left in their hands, and their eldest son Su Ze still has more than 2,000 yuan. Four thousand dollars is a lot of money nowadays, and it lasts a long time.
"Okay, we'll go back after we finish shopping."
Su Huaiyuan also agreed, as he could buy things along the way and rush home at just the right time.
After the couple had discussed it, they came out of the space. The utility room was still dark and they only had one flashlight on.
Then, the two of them tiptoed out of the utility room, closed the door, and prepared to push the bicycle against the wall.
As a result, I heard several violent coughing sounds coming from next door, both from the elderly and children.
"Grandma, it's bad, my brother and sister have a fever."
"Grandpa, grandma, big brother, what should we do? Xiaoluo and Xiaoyu have a severe fever."
"Wow, wow, wow... Grandpa, grandma, I'm so scared. We don't have money to take our brothers and sisters to the doctor."
Just as Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan were about to push their bicycles out the door, the yard next door had already become chaotic, with the sound of children crying and shouting everywhere.
"Ahem, ahem, Xiaoluo, Xiaoshu, Xiaonian, don't cry. Grandpa is going to go see your brothers and sisters."
"Don't cry, don't cry. I'll get some cold water to cool them down."
Two old voices were immediately heard, followed by the sound of footsteps and occasional sobbing.
After hearing this, Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan stood at the door without moving. After a while, they couldn't help but sigh.
The couple both realized that the family living next door were all elderly, weak and sick. They didn't even have money to go to the hospital when they were sick. How difficult their life must be.
"Let's go and have a look."
For a while, Qiao Jiuru couldn't be hard-hearted, nor could he turn a blind eye.
"It's all hardship."
Su Huaiyuan was wrong, and he couldn't watch it either, especially when they were capable, he couldn't pretend not to hear it.
Soon, the couple went over and knocked on the door together.
Song family.
In the room, Song Baocheng and his wife were anxiously wiping the bodies of their two grandchildren who had fever with cold water. Three grandchildren with red eyes were surrounding them on the bed.
They didn't know if this would help, but they really had no other options. They had no money to go to the hospital, and nowhere to borrow money.
Just when Song Baocheng and his wife were filled with sorrow, there was a knock on his door.
“Boom boom boom…”
At the moment of dawn, in this still quiet morning, the sound of knocking on the door was very clearly heard by the whole family.
