Chapter 202 Seeking Food on the Road



There were cries of surprise from the crowd. The mole-faced lady squeezed in front of them and asked loudly, "Are those the little black leather shoes sold in the city?"

Ergou's mother grinned happily, "Of course not!"

"Wow, I heard it cost more than 20 yuan. These educated youth from the city are really generous."

The mole lady's voice was quite loud, causing many people who were joining in the fun to have different expressions.

Even though Ergou's family is not popular, these days anyone who is even slightly related to him will come to the banquet.

The reason is simple. You only need to pay one dollar, and your whole family can come and eat, and there is plenty of meat. Who wouldn’t want to eat?

But what no one expected was that the meal was so shabby!

Xu Qian's face, which had originally turned red with shame due to everyone's teasing, was now extremely embarrassed.

There was only one meat dish on the table: pork, cabbage and vermicelli, and the rest were all vegetarian!

Especially when Xu Qian saw the indescribable expressions of the educated youth at the educated youth point, she clenched her white fingers even more!

She pinched Ergou hard, wishing she could beat up Ergou's mother for showing off!

A few days ago, Ergou said that their family was not rich and there might be a meat dish on the table, so she didn't need to care too much about other people's opinions.

But how could she not care? There were so many people waiting to see her make a fool of herself.

With tears in her eyes, Xu Qian took out twenty yuan from her cabinet and asked Ergou to buy meat.

Ergou clearly promised it, but now he is still like this!

Ergou also had a headache. He was busy getting dressed and pushing his bicycle early in the morning, so he had no time to take care of the banquet. His mother also agreed to it.

Who could have thought it would end up like this!

Liu Lili giggled and squeezed in front of Xu Qian: "Today's banquet is really great!"

Everyone present was a smart person and knew that Liu Lili was speaking in a sarcastic way. However, it was Xu Zhiqing's wedding day after all, so they didn't want to go too far.

Zhang Zhiqing quickly came out to smooth things over, saying with a smile, "Life has been tough lately, and I heard that people in the neighboring village go out to dig wild vegetables until midnight every day.

Comrade Ergou's family must have put a lot of effort into preparing so many things for the feast."

Wen Sihe didn't say anything, just chuckled.

Even though her voice was not so obvious in this noisy environment, Xu Qian still heard it with her sharp ears.

For a moment, she was so angry that her face turned blue. She was angry at Ergou and hated Wen Sihe. Why did he embarrass her?

The sound of firecrackers rang out outside, and everyone went up to the table to eat one after another.

The table was empty after just a few chopsticks from each person.

Some people threw their chopsticks and left, while others ran to the big pot and took away the remaining food.

You can't afford to suffer any loss if you focus on one!

By night, Xu Qian, who had been patient for several days, stripped Ergou naked.

Amid the sounds of their intense exercise, Cuihua was also imagining her bright future.

At the educated youth center, Qin Zhiping took out the wine he had collected for a long time because Xu Qian was getting married, and he took Niu Liye and a few others to sit in the yard and drink.

Qin Zhiping still has deep feelings for Xu Qian, and Xu Qian has been telling him about her difficulties these days.

Qin Zhiping always felt sorry for Xu Qian, but he was powerless to do anything about this matter, and he couldn't even decide his own marriage.

Drinking to forget sorrow only makes sorrow worse. Niu Liye looked at the drunk and distressed Qin Zhiping and felt that he was glowing green.

When I first met Xu Qian, I thought she was a gentle and generous educated youth, but as time went on, she started to cry at the slightest provocation, as if she had been greatly wronged by others.

Niu Liye really disliked this petty look, but Qin Zhiping just fell for it.

As soon as Xu Qian curled her lips, Qin Zhiping was like someone with shit in his eyes, and he started to retort without saying a word!

Alas, the saying that love makes people stupid is really true!

When Lu Zhiye was about to set off, he specially bought a lot of things and put them in his room.

In the evening, Wen Sihe came to his house and was surprised to see so many peach cakes, mung bean cakes, White Rabbit milk candies, malted milk, etc.

Lu Zhiye took her porcelain-white hand and said softly, "You have the key. Every once in a while, you go and give Professor Zhong something.

As for these foods, I thought I would leave them in your room where there are too many people and too many eyes, so you can just come here and get them later."

Wen Sihe nodded obediently. She gently reached out and hugged Lu Zhiye's sturdy waist, and whispered, "Be careful on the road."

Even though she knew that Lu Zhiye had space and was quite skilled, and nothing serious would happen, she couldn't stop worrying.

Lu Zhiye pinched her chin with his big hand, his eyes full of tenderness.

He lowered his head slightly and said something in Wen Sihe's ear.

This was like stirring up a hornet's nest, causing Wen Sihe to kick him a few times.

Seeing Wen Sihe's pretty face flushed with blush and her eyes full of shyness, Lu Zhiye simply picked her up by the waist and threw her on the bed.

As soon as a scream was uttered, the red lips were blocked.

As their fingers were intertwined, the kerosene lamp was shaking slightly.

Wen Sihe seemed like a different person that night, and her courage surprised Lu Zhiye again and again.

The next morning, Lu Zhiye kissed Wen Sihe on the forehead reluctantly.

He quickly put on his clothes and walked out.

Wen Sihe's eyelashes trembled, and a faint feeling of sadness of parting surged in her heart.

She buried her entire face in the quilt, breathing in the man's scent on the quilt, as if she was still lying in his arms.

This time the grain was transported together with several other communes.

In order to prevent the previous incident from happening again, there was a car following in front and behind, with a dozen militiamen sitting in it.

Such a large-scale transport frightened many people who were curious about the situation.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Just when they were about to leave Heilongjiang Province, the car in front stopped suddenly, making everyone's heart skip a beat.

They all clenched their weapons.

However, when he jumped out of the car, he saw that the people blocking the road were not robbers, but a dozen women holding children.

One of the skinny women knelt down in front of the lead car and cried, "Please give us something to eat?"

Following her action, the dozen or so women behind her also gathered in front of the car, crying and shouting.

The militia leader tightly grasped his gun and shouted angrily: "This is public food. We are going to transport it to the troops! How can we give it to you?

They are all there guarding the border, how can they lack food?"

The woman lay on the ground, unable to get up, and the baby in her arms made a faint cry, which was unbearable to watch.

"Just a little bit, please. We really have no other options."

Lu Zhiye took a look and saw that all of these children had big heads and big bellies, and looked malnourished.

There was a dead and numb look in the women's eyes, which made people feel uncomfortable.

A few days ago, a man from their village took a risk and intercepted a truck carrying food, but he was taken away before he returned home.

Now, only old scholars, women and children are left in this huge village.

They really had no other choice. On the one hand, they were kneeling here begging for food, and on the other hand, they hoped that these people would communicate with the commune leaders.

Can you release their families?
