Time travel story: Old lady Shenhao, I am wicked and crazy

Chapter 179: Why can’t we buy food like this?

Although Qian Zishuo is not very old, he is still a young man.

But the children in the village, who can barely speak or walk, are taught by their families that food is valuable and should be cherished.

Except, of course, Money Pearl.

Therefore, Qian Zishuo also knows that there has been famine in recent years, and the food harvest has become less and less year by year. The year before last, his family could only eat a bowl of slightly thicker porridge a day, but last year they ate the bottom of it. This year, the rice soup can clearly illuminate people's faces and rice grains. It is clearly visible that I can only drink enough water every day, and as soon as I urinate, there is nothing left.

He looked at Nan Lingyi with emotion, his stepgrandma was really kind.

Although she is not related to them by blood, she has been taking care of the family all these years. Zhou Zhou Daodao is now even used as her jade pendant to buy food for the family.

Qian Zishuo secretly vowed that when he grows up and becomes successful, he will be filial to his step-grandma so that she can have a full meal and meat every meal.

He felt that his step-grandmother was really nice, unlike the old lady from the Qian family next door, Qian Zhuzhu's grandmother, who didn't care at all when several people in the family starved to death while Qian Zhenzhu was eating alone.

Nan Lingyi bought some grain.

She does not need to store food. It is indeed difficult for Huaguo during this time, but Citibank has great powers and is not afraid of not being able to buy food.

She bought these with some careful thought. In Qian Zishuo's opinion, they were jade pendants worth buying.

These grains were brought back by the village chief's ox cart. The village chief was a little strange: "How can I buy these?"

Nan Lingyi tried his best to show a kind smile, but she looked more charming, so she simply ignored it and kept her usual expression and said calmly: "Village Chief, if your family has some spare money, please make some preparations. I don’t know how long it will take, but the country will definitely take some measures, and maybe I won’t be able to buy it with money in the future.”

The village chief laughed loudly: "How is it possible! Why can't we buy something like food?"

Nan Lingyi smiled and shook his head.

No more persuasion.

People are like this, they often don’t believe something until they see it in front of them.

Nan Lingyi is very clear that soon the country will start to implement some systems. Not to mention selling food, buying meat, buying soap, and even buying a box of matches will all require tickets.

During the bumpy journey, Nan Lingyi controlled her painful expression, not wanting to become a conspicuous old lady.

When Nan Lingyi felt that he had reached the limit of his endurance, he finally reached the place.

Naturally, Nan Lingyi couldn't move the food in the oxcart, so the village chief delivered it directly to his doorstep.

The old lady of the Qian family happened to be at the door, feeding Qian Zhenzhu egg custard with a loving look on her face. When she saw the movement, she looked over and said with an ouch: "Qian Lin's family, you just don't have to go out, you will scare people to death when you go out. You bought so much food, tell me, you are a stepmother, and everyone in the family is so hungry, you pretend you didn’t see it, but now you are willing to buy food?”

Nan Lingyi is not a soft persimmon, her face is even more terrifying.

She said with a half-smile: "It's not like you, who can helplessly watch your own children die."

"you!"

The old lady of the Qian family jumped in anger.

Qian Zishuo also hated Qian Xiaofeng's grandma, and she actually ridiculed her step-grandma. How much she had paid for them. The jade pendant was so good. I wonder if it was her step-grandma's only thought of giving it to her mother-in-law. But now, in order for them not to starve to death, step-grandma actually took it all in.

He also bought fever-reducing medicine and asked him to secretly give it to Qian Xiaofeng for Qian's third daughter-in-law to use.

Qian Xiaofeng is Grandma Qian Zhenzhu’s grandson, and Aunt Qian is her daughter-in-law, but what about her!

He simply watched them die.

So Qian Zishuo rushed out like a little tiger: "My grandma is the best person in the world. You are not allowed to speak ill of her."

The movement outside alarmed people. Nan Lingyi's sons, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren were all standing there, all staring at Grandma Qian Pearl. She called for people, but no one came out.

In the end, I could only cowardly take Qian Zhenzhu into the yard.

When Qian Zishuo saw his parents, he immediately said: "Dad, my grandma pawned all her jade pendants in order to buy food. When I become successful in the future, I will definitely redeem them for grandma!"

The boss of the Qian family hurriedly stepped forward to help Nan Lingyi: "Mom, how can you... the family can still support such a big thing..."

Nan Lingyi waved his hand, without raising his drooped eyelids, and said: "Okay, what's going on at home? I'm the head of the house, so I don't know better than you do? Move all the food in. Whose turn is it to cook today? Make a thick meal! Let’s have a full meal!”

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly moved the food into the yard. Although they felt a little guilty, Nan Lingyi, as the stepmother and stepgrandma of this family, really did too much for them.

But on the other hand, as a person who has been hungry for a long time, seeing food brings spontaneous joy.

Especially the children were very happy when they heard that they could have a full meal today.

Today it was the Qian Si's wife's turn to cook. In the kitchen, she had an extra serving of the usual portion and was very satisfied. However, Nan Lingyi knew their habit of frugality to the core and went to the kitchen to cook. Open the lid and look.

"There is so little rice, it's not enough for my old lady to fill her teeth! Add more and it will become dry rice!"

After the old lady finished speaking, she left. The daughter-in-law of Qian Si's family was stunned. She didn't know what to do. Although she bought a lot of food, she had to make a living and she had to plan for the future!

So she quickly consulted her husband. After listening to this, Qian Si said seriously: "My mother is in charge of this family, and my mother bought the food. Listen to your mother. If there is less food in the future, it will be saved from our mouths."

Nan Lingyi made scrambled eggs and stewed a chicken. For everyone, this was simply better than what they ate during the Chinese New Year.

In the evening, the family sat neatly around the table, swallowing their saliva while looking at the food in front of them.

The daughter-in-law of Qian Si's family is very good at cooking. She can't bear to use things on weekdays, so she can't see anything. Now this table is really to die for.

You can hear the sound of everyone swallowing saliva.

However, they all waited politely, even the children who were only one or two years old. They waited for Nan Lingyi, the tallest elder in the family, to use chopsticks first. This is the rule of the family.

Nan Lingyi picked up a piece of egg, waved his hand and said, "Eat it..."

Everyone moved their chopsticks one after another, holding their own bowls and eating heavy rice. It was unimaginable that they did not gobble it up, but cherished it one bite at a time.

The eggs of this era taste better than those of later generations. Nan Lingyi curled his eyes happily.
