But this time, Zeng Yu really left a deep impression on people.
After all, the food she brought basically all went into the pockets of the villagers.
Some villagers who were slower in their actions were unable to borrow food from Zeng Yu.
No matter how much Zeng Yu tried to persuade them, all the food had been borrowed.
But the villagers just didn't believe it, thinking that the other party was deliberately holding them back and not lending them food.
What is worrying is not the lack of wealth but the inequality.
On Zeng Yu's first day in the village, before he had a chance to show his magnanimity, he had already offended half of the villagers.
During dinner time, after He's mother brought the food to the table, she closed the doors and windows tightly.
There is a food shortage in the village now, and no smell can be revealed.
Otherwise, their family would become a thorn in the eyes of the village.
What the He family has been claiming to the outside world is that they are also short of food, and they only have one meal a day to barely fill their stomachs so that they don't faint from hunger.
Even He Huaishi, who is usually the most heartless, was repeatedly warned by his father and mother.
After going out, you must emphasize that there is no food at home.
Even when facing Zeng Yu, he had to tell her that there was no food at home and he only drank water to fill his stomach every day. He could not reveal a single word.
Although He Huaishi didn't understand why her parents were so wary of Sister Zeng, she nodded because she had always listened to her parents since she was a child.
Because there was food at home, Yu Wan initially did not have much awareness of this sudden change.
Until Yu Wan discovered that the villagers in the village would even snatch up unknown wild vegetables in the mountains.
Yu Wan realized very clearly that the villagers had run out of food.
So everyone is worried about how to get through the next few days.
Even though Yu Wan was willing to add a little rice to the rice jar at home every day, the He family still had a lot of rice.
But the speed of the rice jar is still decreasing sharply. In addition, He's mother is keeping a close eye on the rice jar every day, so Yu Wan can't do it too blatantly.
The current situation at home is that He's father and He Huaishu go with the villagers to clean up the farmland and sow new crops every day.
He's mother, He Huaishi and Yu Wan followed the women in the village to the mountain to see if there was anything they could eat.
Zeng Yu had only been here for half a month when she felt she could no longer stay.
No one told her that even if she had money, she couldn't buy food.
She pocketed all the money she had and went to the county town.
These days, I have been following the educated youth in the educated youth compound and eating the bitter wild vegetables that they found in the mountains. I can't even swallow them.
But there was nothing she could do, as all her food had been borrowed away again.
It was the educated youth in the educated youth home who were willing to give Zeng Yu the wild vegetables they found for free because she generously treated them to a meal of rice on the first day she came.
Otherwise, Zeng Yu would be like Yu Xia, another educated youth in the educated youth compound. If he could find food, he would eat it himself. If he couldn't find food, he would have to chew his fingers out of hunger.
Zeng Yu walked around the county town for a long time and didn't find any food. Then he hurriedly handed the money to the village chief and said to him.
"Village chief, can I buy some food from you?
You are the village chief, so you must have food.
Sell me some of the food in the village. I won’t take it for free. I’ll buy it with money.”
When the village chief heard this, his eyes turned dark.
For the first time, I suspected that the educated youth in front of me might have something wrong with his brain.
He, the village chief, has been so hungry these days that his face is pale and his body is thin, yet he still comes to me to buy food.
What's more, his wife has been complaining to him a lot recently for not stocking up more food for the family, and the family now relies on wild vegetables to survive.
"Zeng Zhiqing, it's not that I don't want to sell you grain, but I have no grain left.
When you came to the village before, didn’t I see you brought a lot of food with you? "
After hearing what the village chief said, Zeng Yu bit his lower lip and looked at the village chief with grievance.
“Yes, I brought so much food, but the villagers borrowed all my food.
Village chief, you are the village chief, please help me and ask them to return the food to me.
Or maybe you could buy me some food, I really can’t eat those wild vegetables anymore.”
If Zeng Yu had not written countless letters to his family and received no reply, he would not have been so embarrassed as to ask the village chief for help.
When she first came to the village, she didn't think much of the village chief.
After all, the position of village chief was too small for her father.
Even the village chief's boss's boss couldn't see her father.
But now I am under someone's roof and have to bow my head.
Zeng Yu could only pray that the village chief would lend her a hand.
I don’t know if it’s because the communication distance here is far, but I haven’t received any food sent from the capital until now.
The village chief looked at Zeng Yu in front of him at this time and shook his head at her with pity.
"Zeng Zhiqing, I can't help you either.
Let’s put it this way, Zeng Zhiqing, haven’t the educated youths from the Youth Institute been going up the mountain with the villagers to look for wild vegetables these days?
You should follow them too.
Although the wild vegetables are hard to swallow, at least they can get us through this period."
Having said that, the village chief nodded affirmatively at Zeng Yu, his face full of trust.
The village chief had said this, what else could Zeng Yu say? He could only turn around and leave.
You can’t buy food from the village chief, nor can you buy food in the county town.
At this time, Zeng Yu set his sights on the He family.
The villagers in the village have not had enough to eat during this period, and some even only eat one meal a day or even every two days.
So everyone has a sallow complexion and walks unsteadily.
Only the He family members looked unhappy, but they were obviously in much better spirits than other people in the village.
Especially when He Huaishi often came to chat with him, he was always full of energy, and he didn't look like he was hungry at all.
It was just that every time I tentatively asked He Huaishi how much food there was at home.
He Huaishi just looked at himself and shook his head, saying perfunctorily that there was no food at home and they ate wild vegetables every day.
Zeng Yu didn't believe this kind of talk at all, so he decided to go to the He family to find out the truth.
Zeng Yu found He's mother when she was looking at the rice jar at home which was about to be empty and feeling worried.
Today, He Huaishi and Yu Wan went to the mountains to look for wild vegetables, while He's mother stayed at home to prepare dinner.
Their family also changed from three meals a day to two meals a day in order to save some food.
When He's mother saw Zeng Yu appearing in front of her, she had already guessed what Zeng Yu was thinking.
