Hard times have room

Chapter 91
No one would have imagined that the normal weather in April would turn into the sun and no rain in May. This is forcing people to a dead end!

It's okay now, although the weather makes people feel a little panic, but after all, nothing really happened, and most people are stable.

But if it's time for the summer harvest, and the grain can't be harvested, then it's going to be a big deal.

Now the grain output is low, and if there is a catastrophe this year, and the grain cannot be collected, the households really don’t have much grain in their homes, and people may starve to death in severe cases.

"So, Dad, did you go to the black market in Hongxing Town last night?" Pauline asked curiously, "I've never heard of a black market in this Red Star town before?"

"Well, there are not many people who know about the black market in Hongxing Town, and even fewer people know where it is. I still go with your Uncle Chunsheng. If he doesn't take me, I only know that there is a black market in our town, but Where I really don't know."

Wang Chunsheng is Wang Jiandang's cousin who has never played in five servers. He is always slick and loves to work in the camp, and he has a certain way of dealing with people. He knows the black market in the town, and Pauline doesn't find it strange at all.

"Then how many of you went?" She was so curious, one question after another popped up in Pauline's head.

"Six, your uncle Chunsheng has three members of his own, he and his eldest son Gangzi, and his younger brother Chunyuan, and the other three, one is Xu Tao, one is me, and the other is your uncle."

"It was originally five people, but with so many people in your family, there must be not much food left, so I told them shamelessly, but fortunately they didn't hesitate or embarrass them, so they agreed directly, otherwise they would have to pay for it this time. It's really five people."

When Wang Jiandang said this, he was still a little embarrassed. After all, he, Xu Tao and Chunsheng were iron brothers from childhood to adulthood, iron brothers, the kind that had a better relationship than blood brothers. Now people call him, yes He has a good relationship with him, but he has no friendship with his eldest brother.

Fortunately, they went early this time, and they were all young and strong. After the six people squeezed in together, they all bought the food they wanted to buy.

Chunsheng bought the most food at 20 yuan. Like him, Wang Jianguo bought [-] yuan of grain. Xu Tao and Chunyuan bought less, [-] yuan. Everyone did not expect that the grain on the black market would become so expensive. Before going out, I deliberately brought two extra yuan to prevent the price from rising, but it couldn't keep up with the speed of the black market price increase!
"Then can you still go tomorrow? Now that you know the place, you can rest well tonight. I can go to the black market with you tomorrow night. Bring more money, the more expensive it is, the more expensive it is, as long as you can buy food. "Su Hongying looked at Wang Jiandang and said with hope.

She is really not reconciled, such a little food really won't last long, and she still needs to buy more so that she can have a little peace of mind.

"Not tomorrow, this black market is open every tenth, that is, on the tenth, NO. , and wait for the black market to open next time, we have to wait ten days."

"Hongxing Town is too small, it only opens three nights a month, and they bring things directly to sell, you can only choose to buy or not to buy, unlike the black market in the county, where people trade there every night , you can choose to set up a stall there to sell what you bring, and pay a venue fee when you enter."

Wang Jiandang shook his head, completely shattering her hopes.

"But in ten days, if it doesn't rain again, the price of grain will not go up to the sky. At that time, our family's tens of dollars will be spent, and we won't be able to buy a few catties of grain. When the price is not completely crazy, you can buy some.”

As Su Hongying spoke, tears slowly came into her eyes, this God is too cruel, why won't you give us poor people a way to live!

"Mom, don't worry, it's not the worst! Now we save some food and take good care of the vegetable garden in the backyard. When the time comes, the team will distribute some more. This year will always pass."

"Besides, we are not the poorest family in the village. There are only three people in our family, and we eat much less than other families. If other families can support it, so can we."

Bao Lin walked over and hugged Su Hongying's arm, and told her seriously.

She knew that her mother was remembering something from the past, and that memory could not be forgotten if she wanted to.

Because of this, her sense of security is very low, and now the same situation may happen again, which makes her very anxious, and it is difficult for her to calm down her anxiety and restlessness from time to time without doing anything.

"By the way, Mom, when you're not working, you can go to the back mountain or the small bamboo forest behind us to dig wild vegetables, boil them, dry them, and store them. Maybe these vegetables can play a big role later."

"And haven't we started building the wall of our house yet? The mud bricks left in the corner are still piled up in the corner. You and Dad can build the wall when you find time, so that our house will be safer."

"That's right, I'm going to dig wild vegetables, and I'm going to build a wall." Su Hongying said, calming down a lot, she has found what she needs to do, and she has a direction of action, then She just needs to act.

"Should these grains still be put in the back room with the previous ones?" Pauline asked her father, looking at the dozens of catties of grain in the basket.

"Besides the grain box in the back room, where else can I put it?" Wang Jiandang wondered, isn't there only one grain box in his house?

"Isn't there a box for clothes in my house? Put these dozens of pounds of beans in my box and put them in my house!"

"Our family's food can't be put on one land. If something happens, I can always have some left in my house."

"But if something happens to our house, your house will definitely not be able to escape. It's a fart. This food is not like money. You can hide it if you hide it, so people can't find it."

Wang Jiandang shook his head and rejected this unreliable proposal.

"Yeah, this food is not easy to hide at all, Dad, you said that if you dig a hole and hide the food in the ground, others won't be able to find it, and will it be safer?"

Pauline didn't really want to take the food to her own house. Her real purpose was to bring up the topic of hiding food.

As for why the grain needs to be buried, of course, it was influenced by the online novels I read before. Isn't that what the protagonists do!
"Hey, don't talk about it, it's really okay to think about it carefully." Wang Jiandang touched his chin with a stubble, and said after thinking about it.
