Quick Wear: I've never been a good person

Chapter 154: Mama’s Boys in the 6s Can’t Get Married (7)

Old Man Wang came over and was surprised to see that his daughter's yard had changed drastically.

"You didn't like this kind of work before, how come you like it now that you're a worker?"

“No, I mainly thought that since the land is empty anyway, growing some vegetables can save some money.

Besides, these pumpkins, sweet potatoes, corn, etc. can also help me save some food. After all, I have two children to raise."

After hearing this, Old Man Wang said nothing more and went to help pull weeds in the field.

"Your idea is very good. When I go back, I will ask your brothers to plant the extra pumpkins, corn, etc. in a circle around the front and back of the house.

This thing is easy to grow, you don't have to take care of it at all, just plant a seed and you'll get a harvest."

Shuangshuang thought of the general poor harvest this year and added silently.

"There are also sweet potatoes, which are the most drought-resistant, require little care, and have a high yield.

If we can’t finish it, we can make vermicelli or feed it to livestock.”

"Well, you're right."

I watched Shuangshuang throw some picked vegetable leaves into the toilet in the backyard.

He frowned, the old man just couldn't stand waste.

After looking at the terrain of the backyard, he went straight to the woodshed to get some sticks, and built a small fence along the wall and the corner of the toilet.

"There's an old hen sitting on brood at home. When she comes out, I'll catch you a few chicks.

These vegetable leaves don’t have to be thrown away, they can even lay eggs for the children to eat.”

The situation became increasingly serious. It hadn't rained for several months, and the vegetables in the garden were wilting.

They are lucky that there is a river running through the entire city.

According to historical records, the river has never dried up, at most the water level has dropped.

Therefore, although it will be very hard for the surrounding villages to water the fields every day and the grain production will be reduced, it will not be a complete loss.

But what I didn’t expect was that a heavy rainstorm would suddenly hit before the autumn harvest.

Some far-sighted village leaders, before the heavy rain came, did not care whether the crops were fully ripe or not, and hurriedly led the villagers to harvest as much as they could overnight.

However, some village leaders were reluctant to harvest the rice, which was still slightly green.

But a rare heavy rain came and all the rice was washed away.

Seeing that all their efforts were about to be ruined, everyone ignored the painful raindrops hitting their bodies and rushed to harvest in the rain.

However, the rice that was harvested in this way sprouted before one's eyes without the sun.

All the farmers couldn't help crying when they saw the sprouting rice.

Food is the lifeblood of farmers. Without food, life will be miserable.

The farmers themselves don’t have enough food, so there is no need to even think about collecting public grain.

These ordinary people are still waiting for relief food from above to save their lives.

If they can’t collect public grain, those people in the city who rely on farmers for their livelihood will have a hard time.

There is no grain at the grain station, and there is nothing to eat at the supply and marketing cooperative.

At this time, the price of grain on the black market had risen to two or three yuan per catty, and there was still no demand.

All of the Zheng family's neighbors who had laughed at Shuangshuang before suddenly became fawning and came to Shuangshuang to show their courtesy, praising her vegetable garden again and again.

Shuangshuang felt confused and did not respond to their words.

In the end, they themselves hesitantly stated their purpose.

First of all, I want to ask Shuangshuang if I can give them some seeds?

You can also grow some in your own yard so that your children can have enough vegetables to eat.

The second reason is that I want Shuangshuang to go back to her parents' home to ask if she can give them some food, as there is really nothing to eat at home.

After all, they still have to live in this alley, and Shuangshuang has no intention of having a falling out with them and never having anything to do with them again.

So Shuangshuang gave them some seeds, not many, about a few dozen of each kind.

"Aunts, this is all the seeds I have. Please share them."

As for whether or not to plant it?

In fact, more than half of the people here come from rural areas, so how could they not know?

It’s just that I’ve been a city dweller for too long and have forgotten my origins.

As for going back to her parents' home to buy food for them, Shuangshuang directly refused.

I don't have such a good relationship with them, so why would I do such a risky thing for them?

It would be better if those who knew how to be grateful were better. But there are those who are ungrateful and who, after getting her food, turn around and report her.

Once the label of speculation was put on him, his whole family would have to go to the farm.

That day, Huilan came back and suddenly said to Shuangshuang.

"Auntie, there's not much work to do in our cafeteria right now.

I'm planning to go back, since you and your cousin can still hang out in there."

It turned out that the factory had run out of food during this period.

The logistics department went everywhere to ask for help from people, and their shoes were worn out, but they only managed to get a few hundred kilograms of food.

For a large company with hundreds of employees, this is not enough to fill the gaps between their teeth.

Therefore, the factory decided not to supply food to those who had families, except those who lived in the factory dormitories due to long distances.

Now, several sisters-in-law are wearing sweaters and chatting leisurely while knitting.

Huilan felt that her aunt could do this kind of work, so she didn't need to come here to share half of her salary.

In fact, Shuangshuang didn't really want to go to work, but she couldn't just give the job to her.

After all, I still have other nephews, so I had to see him off reluctantly.

Huilan left, and the next day Shuangshuang took the twins to work.

He even brought an unused mat and spread it on the ground, letting the two little ones crawl around on it.

Since they all have free time anyway, the sisters-in-law simply stopped knitting.

The day passed by just by making the two kids laugh and joke around.

It had been less than three days since Huilan returned, and no one knew what she said.

Late in the evening, her elder brother and second brother came over with a bag of flour in their arms.

One bag contains about 10 pounds of rice, and the other bag contains finely ground corn flour.

"Brother, brother, why are you here so late at night?

It's too unsafe to carry food with you!"

It is really unsafe. Some people have no food to eat and are willing to take risks.

"It's okay, we just came here because we were worried about safety."

They both opened the grain bags and were very surprised. "Brother, didn't they say that the fields had no harvest? Where do you have all this fine grain?"

"Hehe, to be honest, our father and the village chief are the ones with foresight."

It turned out that Old Man Wang was inspired by Shuangshuang before. After going back to discuss with the village chief, he visited some older warriors in the village.

Finally, it was decided that the villagers should share some of the leftover pumpkins, winter melons, corn seeds, etc.

They just scattered it randomly in front of and behind everyone's houses without even tilling the ground.

If anyone sees one, just say it's wild.

He also buried all the remaining sweet potato seeds in the village in the manure pile for breeding.

Once the seedlings emerge, they won't allow anyone to clear the land, and they'll just find a gap and plant it there.
