Chapter 41

Li Xinghua was a little moved by what Jiang Quhan said, so she said, "Okay, then let's look for it tomorrow. By the way, we should be able to dig the roots of the grass by now. I will bring a hoe tomorrow."

Jiang Quhan was a little curious, she searched Li Juhua's memory for a while, and she probably knew such a thing, she became a little interested, and said: "Okay, okay."

They agreed, and went to bed separately. They slept relatively late tonight. There was nothing to do now, and they were hungry. The whole family went to bed very early. After dinner in the middle of the afternoon, they went back to their respective rooms to sleep.

While I have some food in my stomach, I won’t be hungry when I fall asleep.

After a while, Li Mancang and Zhao Shi came back to rest.

On the second day, no one mentioned what happened last night, but the atmosphere was still a little depressed.

No matter what Jiang Quhan said, he got up early in the morning and woke up Li Xinghua to go out to find something to eat.

At this point in the past, many villagers would carry farm tools to work in their fields, but now you rarely see villagers outside, only occasionally you can meet one or two thin and weak people, carrying bamboo betels or carrying blueberries, to go to the village. Go to Xiaotaoshan to find something to eat.

Jiang Quhan and Li Xinghua also went to Xiaotaoshan first. Xiaotaoshan had long since lost its former vitality. The trees were still lush, but there were almost no edible foods.

Jiang Quhan even saw that a lot of tree bark had been peeled off, and Li Xinghua said that some people who were short of food had taken it back for food.

Some bark is edible, but it is not easy to digest, and you can't go to the toilet after eating it.

They searched around Xiaotao Mountain for a long time, and only found a small handful of bitter herbs. They couldn't find anything else, so they had to give up. Li Xinghua took Jiang Quhan to those places with many hairy grass roots to dig out the hairy grass roots.

They found several places, some of which had already been dug up, but fortunately, there were quite a lot of hairy grass roots, and it was not easy to dig, and they were not very full, so they could only taste it. Yu Wu.

They didn't carry bamboo betels today, so they took a small basket and only brought two bamboo tubes of water. They dug out a small half of the blueberries, and then went back.

The main reason is that I have to eat lunch at noon. Now other things are small things, and eating is a big thing. In previous years, I could drink water when I was hungry. This year, there is not much water. Everyone has to save some water every day. The ancient well is striving for success, and now it is not only a problem of food, but also a problem of drinking water.

Jiang Quhan hadn't washed and washed for a long time. She felt that a layer of skin had been washed off her body. In the first few days, she still felt itchy all over her body.

I'm used to it now, and I don't feel anything.

Sometimes I really have to lament people's adaptability, it is really strong.

When the two of them arrived home, they happened to bring food to the table. Grandma Li had to share all the food now, so they couldn't keep their bellies full.

When it was Qian's turn, Grandma Li's face was a little cold, but her portion of the meal was still given according to the amount. Qian wanted to say something for a while, but she still didn't say anything, and went back to her room with her own bowl.

She ignored Li Mancang now, and was in a cold war with him, but Li Mancang didn't try to coax him, just ate his share of the mess, and went out.

Today he will go to the village on duty.

After the meal, the children in the family shared the hair grass roots dug by Jiang Quhan and Li Xinghua in the morning. Jiang Quhan also grabbed a handful and gave it to Wang Zhaodi. But her eyes clearly wanted it.

Grandma Li took it and put it in her hand, and said with a smile: "Eat."

She just took it and said thank you in a low voice.
