Chapter 68 The Old Man Fleeing from Famine



Lu Chengxuan's eyes were a little sore: "Oh, I know, you must be obedient to your aunt and uncle, be diligent in your daily life, and write more letters to your godfather!"

Qin Jianye felt that these two people were really annoying. When he saw the car stop, he hugged the person to himself and shouted, "Wife and daughter, follow me!"

Just get off the bus.

Lu Chengxuan shook his head and complained to Wei Xu: "Look at you, he can even abandon his female relatives. How unreliable!"

Wei Xu spoke well of Qin Jianye: "Third Uncle is not that kind of person!"

Lu Chengxuan laughed and kicked him: "I'm just joking, can't you hear it!"

***

After getting off the bus, Qin Jianye didn't rush to Hongxing Street. He first found a guesthouse to stay in, and then took the two children to a state-owned restaurant for dinner.

The conditions in this provincial capital were much better than those in Yang County. The wide roads and brand-new buildings all reflected the vitality of a young country.

Even the people were more energetic. Although they were thin, their eyes were bright.

The little elf explained: "We received two relief grain shipments before the New Year."

Although it is not much, it has actually improved the situation in the provincial capital.

Qin Jianye nodded to indicate that he understood.

Now is the end of the three-year disaster, and many places have resumed production as early as last year.

It is not surprising that food can be allocated to help brother provinces that are more severely affected by the disaster.

According to his memory, Qin Jianye went to a state-owned restaurant near the guesthouse. Seeing that the dishes there were quite rich, he ordered two bowls of shredded pork noodles, two bowls of egg noodles, a plate of shredded potatoes, and a dish of pickles.

Soon, the food arrived. Qin Jianye saw that the portions were quite generous and told everyone to eat quickly.

Qin Siyue didn't hesitate to pick up a piece of egg from Qin Jianye's bowl and then pass him another piece of shredded pork.

Chen Sijun wanted to imitate her and share with his aunt, but just as he moved his chopsticks, Chen Yunwei held him down: "Your sister is nothing but greedy, eat quickly!"

Qin Siyue curled the corners of her lips, thinking that if she wasn't their biological daughter, if she hadn't traveled through time with her parents, if she hadn't lived with them for more than ten years and understood their minds, she would definitely be severely defeated.

What? Just because you have a nephew, you can bully your daughter like this. Aren’t you afraid that she will be sad and resentful?

So I deliberately snorted: "Mom, even if you love my little cousin, you can't say that to me! What if he misunderstands and tells everyone about me?"

"Sister, I won't!"

Qin Siyue picked up a piece of egg and stuffed it into his mouth: "I know you can't do it, so I just want to complain to your aunt."

The little guy's eyes turned red, he was moved.

Chen Yunwei raised her hand to wipe his tears: "Look at you, you made me cry! Xiaojun, don't think too much, your sister is just like this, she is not very reasonable."

"No, sister is fine!"

"Yes, yes, I'm fine. You'll understand later!" Qin Siyue hugged the person to his side, raised his eyebrows proudly, and made Qin Jianye, who was watching the show on the side, laugh.

"Okay, let's eat quickly, we still have things to do later!"

The four of them worked together faster, and soon they had finished all the food on the table.

Qin Siyue touched his stomach and felt very full.

Although the dishes are not as rich as those in later generations, and even the noodles are made of whole grains, the ingredients are very good, pure and natural, and have a unique fragrance that belongs to grains.

Qin Siyue even whispered to Qin Jianye: "Dad, there is no pollution these days, we can exchange for some food and vegetables to store."

Qin Jianye agreed, but did not intend to use the replacement method.

"Why would you just buy it? Your dad's biggest hobby right now is hoarding things. I feel uncomfortable when the house is empty."

OK, this is post-traumatic stress disorder. If she had spent ten years in the apocalypse, she could have been even worse than Comrade Lao Qin.

The four of them went to the department store together, bought some clothes, and also bought some cigarettes, alcohol and tea.

They were all high-priced goods, and most people wouldn't even dare to look at them. Qin Jianye's generous spending successfully attracted several glances.

Seeing this, Qin Jianye hurriedly took his men away.

After returning to the guesthouse, he inquired in detail about the families who had their eyes on the old house, and then asked them to wait while he went to investigate the situation first.

Chen Yunwei warned him to be careful while Qin Siyue used makeup tools to make him look better. Chen Sijun was standing next to him with a small mouth: "Oh my God, my uncle has aged ten years in an instant!"

Although this statement affirmed my daughter's superb makeup skills, it was really heartbreaking to hear.

Qin Jianye rolled his eyes, pulled up his scarf, and went out.

Following my memory, I came to Hongxing Street, found a big locust tree to sit under, and heard a few old men and women chatting nearby.

He talked about the Zhang family's daughter-in-law, the Li family's son-in-law, and then complained about his own useless children and grandchildren.

In short, as long as there is support, they will continue to talk, and they can talk about anyone's affairs.

Suddenly, someone mentioned the Chen family.

"The father and son haven't been found yet? Could something have happened to them?"

"Who knows? I saw the Yin and Cui families moved in, and no one's in charge. I guess they know something."

"If I had known earlier, I would have let my wife go over there and share a piece of the pie. Such a big yard, I'm so envious."

"Your old man? Just forget it, or you'll get beaten out!"

The man lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "I heard that the Yin and Cui families produced Mr. Chen's letter of authorization, which is why they were not driven away by the street."

"What? That's impossible. They're not related, why should they be in charge?"

"I don't know about that!"

Qin Jianye stood up when he heard this. When he arrived at his father-in-law's house in his memory, he found it in chaos.

The old woman from the Yin family and the daughter-in-law from the Cui family were standing at the door and cursing at each other.

One said the other was disrespectful and allowed children to poop in the yard.

One said the other was being pretentious, occupying the toilet every morning and the child couldn't hold it in, so he had to find a way to solve the problem.

Through the open door, Qin Jianye found that the yard was in a mess and there were signs of destruction everywhere.

His face turned black, but he didn't act rashly.

He left Hongxing Street and wandered around, waiting until late at night when everyone was asleep before returning and jumping over the wall.

After giving both families some intoxicating smoke, they were able to enter the house without anyone in sight. After searching their belongings, they unexpectedly found the forged power of attorney.

Qin Jianye thought about it and decided not to take it away.

I continued looking and actually found several post office receipts.

The address above is Yang County Post and Telecommunications Bureau.

Qin Jianye thought to himself, could it be that they cut off the news in order to occupy this yard?

But that shouldn't be the case. Even if Weiwei and I were gone, the old man was still here. Would the old man let them live in?

However, the fact is that not only did they move in, but the old man was gone.

Qin Jianye suspected that there was something hidden behind this.

But isn’t his father-in-law just an ordinary old man who fled from famine in other places?
