Chapter 50

When Li Mancang and Li Mandun came back, it was already dark, and they left the mush of dinner in the pot to warm it up, and they did not have dinner when they got home.

After they finished eating the paste, Grandma Li asked about the specific situation.

Li Mancang frowned and said: "We went to every house today to ask, not only Dazhu's mother died, but also the strong uncle and aunt who hadn't escaped with his sons before, they died on the bed at home It’s been a day or two, if I didn’t go to see it today, I don’t know when I will find it.”

Grandma Li sighed.

Li Mantun went on to say: "At this time, there is no way to do the funeral, so I found two mats and rolled them up on the mountain to bury them."

The atmosphere was a bit dignified, and no one felt very comfortable with this kind of thing happening right next to him.

Qian asked worriedly: "Is the patriarch asking everyone who has food to donate food to those who have no food?" Originally, there were two more mouths in the family, which already worried her. , that is really unbearable.

Li Mancang said: "The patriarch said that he cooks a pot of glutinous rice every day. Those who have no food at home can receive half a bowl a day. This food will be returned when the year is good."

Qian was still worried: "Is there so much food every day? Besides, what if someone pretends to claim it?"

Li Mantun replied: "They are all from the same village, and they are all from the same clan. Everyone knows the basics. If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't survive, they wouldn't do this. If they were discovered, the patriarch would definitely deal with it."

He sighed, and then said: "Several families in the village are already eating bark alone. The youngest son of Daqiang's family is so hungry that he ate a lot of Guanyin soil without the adults knowing, and he doesn't know if he can survive. .”

The men in the family have to go out to patrol and be on duty every now and then. The women really haven’t been out of the house for a long time. Although life is difficult every day at home, Grandma Li has not cut down on food. Qian really doesn’t know that there are people in the village who are already a little Food is gone.

Although they knew that three people had died, the elderly would be reluctant to eat and save it for their children and grandchildren. Uncle Qiangfu and his wife must be the son who took most of the food away.

Now she is worried about the eldest daughter who is married to a neighboring village, and she doesn't know if her husband's family has enough food.

In fact, the price of Tiangan grain started to rise, and most of the families with money bought some grain, but some families took chances, and some families did not have much money, and the price of grain rose too fast, so they did not buy much.

Like Grandma Li, who spends almost all of her family's wealth to buy food, many people don't have the courage.

In addition, Jiang Quhan and the others exchanged a lot of money for the prey they hunted in Daqing Mountain. All the money bought food, and the big wild boar has not eaten much yet.

Such a big pig can be eaten until winter.Grandma Li only cooks a small piece of meat every few days until it becomes mushy. The meat is salty, and the family has enough energy to eat it.

The few chickens at home, after not laying eggs much, have nothing to eat for them, so they have been killed, and they are also air-dried, and they can eat slowly, and they can eat for a long time.

And these are all meat, so they are very hungry.

Grandma Li dared to take in Li Chunya's mother and daughter, and the patriarch asked for food, and they happily gave it to her because of the food in the family.

It doesn't rain, it's useless to think too much, Grandma Li told everyone to leave and go back to her room to rest.

Jiang Quhan was not as confident as Grandma Li, and she didn't have as many stocks as Grandma Li. She grabbed Li Cunbao who wanted to go back to Li Cunle's room to rest.

Quietly asked him: "Should we go to Daqingshan again and see if there is anything to eat?"

Li Cunbao shook his head and said, "Sister, if we can go to Daqing Mountain now or not, the beasts in the mountain must have nothing to eat now, and the danger is much higher than before. We can't eat enough every day now, and our physical fitness Not as good as before."

He saw Jiang Quhan's worry, and comforted him: "Don't worry, grandma must have a lot of food in stock, we won't starve to death."

Jiang Quhan still believed in Li Cunbao's judgment. Li Cunbao was the best at hunting in this family. If he didn't go, it would be useless for her to go by herself. Don't let her stomach be full, but the beast's stomach.

Thinking of this, Jiang Quhan shuddered, she should continue to hang on.
