Chapter 370 Era - There is a time-traveling girl next door 21
What the Wu family didn't know was that the man was Wang Xiaomai's future husband, and after marriage he would be of great help to Wang Xiaomai both in her career and in her life.
Wu Xiaoyun felt that when looking for other men, she had to distinguish between good and bad men. This man was recognized as a good man by both Wang Xiaomai and the plot. This time she wanted to snatch this man away first, which could at least ensure that her married life would be good.
In order to marry him, Wu Xiaoyun really made a lot of jokes, but in the end, it was because he drugged her that they got what they wanted, and he married her.
But after marriage, whether she is happy or not, only Wu Xiaoyun herself knows.
Back to the present, no one in the Wu family wants Wu Xiaoyun to come back, as they think it is embarrassing.
Mrs. Wu said, "Xiaoyun, now that you're married, live a good life. Don't go back to your parents' house all the time. We have everything under control at home."
Wu Xiaoyun's mother also said, "Xiaoyun, your grandma is right. If you give birth to a child quickly, Zhenxing's heart will be tied. You should hurry up."
Wu Xiaoyun knew that her family was starting to drive her away because they disliked her going back to her parents' home too often.
She was also very angry. She said, "Don't come to me for help in the future." Then she turned around and ran back to the city.
In fact, Old Mrs. Wu secretly stored a lot of food with her eldest son and third son, but she kept it a secret from her second son's family.
If Wu Ergou, that eccentric guy, had known that there was so little food at home, he would never have been able to bear eating only seven-tenths full a day. He would have been defeated a long time ago.
The old lady was a widow who raised three sons during the war. She was no ordinary person.
I'm afraid that apart from the Li family, the Wu family has the most stored grain in the whole village.
This Spring Festival, the entire Panshui Village was secretly discussing the falsification of high-yield grain outside, and asking each other how much grain they had stored.
All the wives from other villages who were married into the village took the opportunity to return to their parents' home to report the possible food shortage.
When the married woman returned to the village to pay New Year's greetings, she learned that Panshui Village had asked the higher authorities for relief grain, but the higher authorities were unable to provide it. There was also news that the high-yield grain circulated outside might be fake.
Although these were all uncertain rumors, no one dared to gamble.
What if?
Isn’t this what the people are afraid of?
If this were to come true, there might be a famine in the future, and no one would be able to sit still.
The team leaders of several nearby villages found an opportunity and all came to Panshui Village to meet with the team leader of Panshui Village.
After returning, although they restrained the villagers from talking nonsense, they reduced the supply in the canteen and took a series of measures.
The villagers didn't say anything openly, but they started to stockpile food at home in private.
And it is still radiating outwards.
But there was only so much food, and some of it had been wasted before. It didn’t take long for the price of food on the market to double.
This makes it even more necessary to buy. Since the price has increased, it only proves that there is really not much food.
If there really is a famine, it is not uncommon to exchange a gold coin for a steamed bun.
The further you go in the future, the less likely you are to be able to buy food even with money.
After returning to school, Li Dandan also vaguely mentioned to her classmates that there was serious waste in the cafeteria and that there might not be enough food.
Some students didn't take it seriously at all, but some smart students quickly called home and told their guesses.
Li Dandan didn't know how many people this method could save, but if there was less waste, at least one person could be saved when food was really needed to save lives.
She also made full use of her two-meter-wide small yard.
Li Dandan only left a 30-centimeter-wide aisle for herself, and planted sweet potatoes everywhere else.
Although I can only grow a few seedlings, it's better than nothing.
She's just pretending now, and when everyone is short of food, it won't be surprising if she takes out sweet potatoes.
Before I knew it, Li Dandan was about to graduate from her senior year.
This year is 1960. Since last year, life has become more and more difficult.
At school, students and teachers often faint in class suddenly.
Most of the people were as thin as bamboo poles, and could be blown down by a gust of wind, with sallow complexions.
There are a few who look normal from a distance, but when you get closer, you will see that their bodies are swollen. This is all caused by hunger.
Even much of the food served in the cafeteria is meal replacement.
It's made from crushed corn stalks and the like. Life was really hard.
Today, several sisters from Li Dandan’s dormitory came to her courtyard for a small gathering.
In fact, Li Dandan just wanted to give her roommates some special training. At the same time, everyone was about to graduate and would go their separate ways.
This meal is our farewell gathering.
The only things you can see in Li Dandan's house are sweet potatoes and dried young sweet potato leaves.
But at this time, don't underestimate these things. Maybe a bite of food can save a life. They are precious.
Li Dandan has helped her classmates and teachers a lot before.
In fact, she was not the only one who helped. Many classmates were able to survive this year with the help of other classmates and teachers.
This year, all the sweet potato vines in Li Dandan's home were contributed to the school cafeteria.
Don’t talk about whether this thing tastes good or not. If you really have nothing to eat, you’ll still have to eat wild grass or tree bark.
At least sweet potato vines can be made into dishes when they are fresh.
Occasionally, I would give some sweet potatoes grown at home to my roommates.
Each time we only brought five cooked ones, and we shared them among ourselves. Although it wasn't much, it could at least last us another day.
Besides, real food is always better than meal replacements.
The school's garden lawn had long been cleared and crops planted, but it was a drop in the bucket and not enough to feed all the teachers and students in the school.
These lands are not agricultural land themselves, and are not fertile enough to grow much food.
This year is only the second year, and the weather will not return to normal until the year after next. We still have a long way to go.
Today everyone was in the yard, eating sweet potatoes.
But when I put this sweet potato in my mouth, even though it is just a sweet potato, I feel like my life has improved.
While eating, Liu Xin said contentedly, "I finally had a full meal today. When will this day end? I almost forgot what it feels like to be full."
Cao Hongmei listened, sighed, and comforted everyone, saying, "Ah...it should be soon. Last year, the south suffered from disasters, and this year, the north suffered from disasters. There has been no peace in the past two years.
God can't let everyone starve to death, maybe tomorrow when we open our eyes, good days will come."
He Yuan was not so optimistic: "At the end of the Ming Dynasty, natural disasters occurred for many years. We should be prepared for a long-term battle.
I don’t even dare to think about how I’m going to live in the future.
I just hope that God will open his eyes and stop being so angry."
