Game slow travel: I am serious about hoarding goods

Chapter 49

More than ten days later, Jiang Quhan was secretly eating compressed biscuits in the room, when he heard the voice of the patriarch talking to Grandma Li outside.

Jiang Quhan really wanted to go out and see the situation. She had been traveling for so long, but she had never seen the patriarch come to the house.

But except for Li Mancang and Li Mantun, no one went there, and Jiang Quhan couldn't rush there, so he could only look out from the door, his voice was intermittent and he couldn't hear what he said clearly.

They talked for a while, and saw Grandma Li go to her room, and after a while, she took out a basket and handed it to the patriarch, and then Li Mancang and Li Mandun both left with the patriarch.

Jiang Quhan saw that the person had left, and immediately ran to Grandma Li's room to ask Grandma Li what was going on. Except for Li Cunxi, who was still on duty in the village, everyone came over one after another.

Grandma Li looked at so many people, sighed, and said: "Some people in the village are starving to death, and some people have no food at all, so they have gone to help out with their warehouses full. Don't gather here, don't go out, and go back to your room." go."

Everyone had to go back to their rooms.

Jiang Quhan walked back with Li Xinghua, Li Xinghua asked: "Chrysanthemum, will we starve to death?"

Jiang Quhan wanted to say no, but she was a little uncertain now.She looked at Li Xinghua with a sad face, and comforted her: "No, Grandma must have stored a lot of food. If there is really nothing to eat, let's go hunting in Daqingshan."

These words did not comfort Li Xinghua, she was still very sad: "Every natural disaster will kill many people, and I don't know if we can survive it."

"Of course not. It can't be a year without rain. Besides, the imperial court knows that we are affected by the disaster, so they should send out relief food, right?"

Li Xinghua looked at the determined Jiang Quhan, and couldn't bear to hit her. It would be better to hope for the rain than to count on the court. Even if there is relief food, how much can go to the hands of the common people. It is a great grace to not collect taxes this year. .

I'm afraid that it is already so difficult, and the county magistrate will come to collect taxes, which will really kill people.

Looking at Li Xinghua's frowning face, Jiang Quhan felt that children in ancient times were really precocious, and she said, "Forget it, don't think so much, let's go back to bed and save some energy. Eat less."

Hearing what she said, Li Xinghua disagreed and said: "Auntie cooks a fixed amount of mush, and we don't share much. If we eat less, it will go into other people's stomachs, and we can't save it."

Jiang Quhan knew that Li Xinghua was talking about Li Chunya's mother and daughter. Since the last time there was a quarrel, everyone in the back seemed to be in harmony, but Qian was still angry.

Even Li Xinghua doesn't like this aunt and cousin very much anymore.

The main reason is that every time Grandma Li shared food, she would intentionally or unintentionally share more with their mother and daughter. The more times the family felt that the matter had nothing to do with them, they were a little unhappy.

But no one dared to attack.

Jiang Quhan didn't feel it deeply, mainly because she still had space, she could fill her stomach from time to time, she was the least hungry person in the family, and the woman in this family could only share half a bowl for each meal. Grandma Li can't give too much. At most, it will be thicker when scooping, or it will be divided into two bites.

Grandma Li thinks she is very fair. Li Chunya and Wang Zhaodi have suffered so much, and now there is nothing for them to eat. They also have to eat every day. The men in the family have a bowl full of mush, and the women With a small appetite, she only ate half a bowl, saving some for her daughter and granddaughter, and did not deduct anyone's rations.

How many families in the village, the men can eat two meals, the daughter-in-law and granddaughter can only eat one meal a day, and there is not necessarily half a bowl of glutinous rice.
