"Not leaving any?" Li Ping'an asked doubtfully, but he was reluctant in his heart.
"Yes, hand it all over and leave nothing behind!" Li Erlin emphasized in an affirmative tone, and then explained, "Now everyone knows that our family has a lot of surplus food. When they have food to eat, they may not afford it. No matter what you think, once someone’s food is finished, they will definitely take advantage of other people’s food. The first ones to bear the brunt will definitely be those of us who have more food.
Of course, maybe we don’t have to wait that long. Our family has a lot of food, but their family has less food. Maybe some people are regretting why they didn’t buy food earlier, and at the same time they hate why we didn’t call them when we bought food the day before yesterday. .
If we don't hand over all the food, just imagine, there are so many people waiting to share the food, but we eat our own, can they feel balanced? At that time, they will not think that we bought the grain with our money. They will only think that we should not be able to buy the grain in the first place. It was the old village chief who interceded for us so that we could buy the grain. The death of the village chief had some connection with us, and by then we would have become a thorn in their side. "
Li Ping'an was shocked. He originally thought that he only needed to hand over half or more than half, but he forgot that he should not worry about the shortage but the inequality.
"It shouldn't be possible, right?" Chen Dazhu didn't believe that such a serious situation would happen, or he didn't think that deeply at all. "We are all fellow villagers. We usually don't look up when we look down, and they don't do this on rare occasions. Do."
"Maybe I'm overthinking and thinking bad things, but who can be sure?" Li Erlin glanced at Chen Dazhu, "I don't know what happened to you in the troubled times. Maybe because your surname is Chen, they have I won't do anything to you, but what about those of us who are not named Chen? I don't dare to bet, so I will hand over all the food when the time comes. Brother, brother-in-law and fourth brother, you will also hand over all the food. Zhu, you three should go back and ask the old man before making a decision."
Li Dalin and the others nodded. Although their household registrations were also in Xiaochen Village, they were not named Chen. The only people they could trust were family members.
Zhang Yu also smiled and said: "Just hand it over, I can still hunt, and I won't starve to death."
When he first fled the famine and came here, he was no better than he is now. He bought land and built a house by hunting, got married and bought a field.
It's just starting from scratch.
The Li family unanimously agreed, and the three brothers Chen Dazhu did not dare to delay, turned around and hurried to the hay shed.
Li Ping'an heard the meaning of Zhang Yu's words and felt a little relieved, "Uncle, you should have nothing to do next. Take me into the mountains to find water sources."
I don't have to worry about food for the time being, but I can't worry about drinking. My mother collected a few buckets of rainwater the afternoon before yesterday, and no matter how sparingly I use them, there won't be much left today. The flood water at the foot of the mountain is full of debris and dead bodies. No one will fetch water from the foot of the mountain until the mountain is exhausted.
Although the sky is still gloomy, who knows if it will rain again, and if it does, when will it rain?
So the top priority right now is to find a relatively clean water source.
He didn't know how many times he had walked through the area of Wubei Mountain close to the village. There was no water source at all, so he had to go deeper. However, the deep mountains were inaccessible and dangerous, so he did not dare to go there himself.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he said these words, he was scolded by Li Erlin. Who doesn't know that there is danger in the mountains? He is not dead yet, and it is not Li Ping'an's turn to take this risk.
In the end, it was decided that Li Pingan could not go and would stay at home to take care of his mother and younger siblings, while Li Erlin and Zhang Yu went together.
Okay, if I don’t go, I won’t go.
Li Ping'an smacked his lips and watched Li Erlin and Zhang Yu, one holding a woodcutter and the other carrying an ax, getting smaller and smaller until they disappeared. He came to Zhang Xiaoshan and sat down on his face. superior.
Zhang Xiaoshan didn't get much sleep all night. He just lay down and finally fell asleep. Suddenly he felt a suffocation feeling. He woke up from his sleep with a kick of his feet. When he opened his eyes, he saw a butt in front of him.
Without thinking, he punched it with all his strength. Apart from Li Ping'an, he couldn't think of anyone else who could treat him like this.
Li Ping'an jumped up after his butt was hit hard. He covered the area where he was hit while rubbing it and yelled: "Zhang Xiaoshan, can't you be gentler?"
Zhang Xiaoshan just laughed, your butt is sitting on my face, why should you complain first? What's even more outrageous is that you sat on my face in front of my future wife!
I don’t want to lose face? !
"You'd better give me a reason, otherwise you'll see if I beat you or not!"
Li Ping'an couldn't beat Zhang Xiaoshan. In order to avoid being beaten, he quickly whispered in Zhang Xiaoshan's ear: "Let's go and set a trap, and you can sleep again when we come back."
Zhang Xiaoshan's face darkened, and he lay down on the spot with his hands folded in front of his chest. Although he didn't speak, the meaning of rejection was already obvious.
It's not that he doesn't want to go, he just doesn't want to take Li Ping'an with him.
He has been learning hunting from his father since he was a child. He has a pretty good talent. His brother learned three years earlier than him and he learned it quickly, let alone Li Ping'an, who just learned it on a whim. But the strange thing is that his luck is not very good. If you ask him to talk about the habits of wild beasts and tell him to identify the traces of wild beasts, he will be able to speak clearly and logically. But when it comes to laying traps, his work is often in vain. that.
What's even more incredible is that once he set a trap, Li Ping'an also followed his example and set an identical trap next to his trap. He was successful that time and caught a hare, but Li Ping'an's The trap was installed.
Looking at his hunting achievements in the past few years, it is rare that one out of ten times is successful, so he is often ridiculed by Li Ping'an.
Now Li Pingan asked him to set a trap for hunting, but he didn't want to. Even if he went, he would do it while Li Pingan was not around.
Just as Zhang Xiaoshan knew Li Pingan, Li Pingan was too familiar with Zhang Xiaoshan. One look at Zhang Xiaoshan's face and he knew what he was thinking.
"Okay, okay, I won't laugh at you this time, okay." Li Ping'an took Zhang Xiaoshan's hand and pulled him up. "If you really don't want to go, I'll ask Cousin Dashan to accompany me."
Zhang Xiaoshan didn't like hearing it anymore, "Cousin Dashan, cousin Dashan, Li Pingan, I am also your cousin, why haven't I heard you call me cousin Xiaoshan once?"
"Xiao~Shan~Cousin~Brother~" Li Ping'an said in a shameless voice, performing a macho act of coquettishness on the spot.
Zhang Xiaoshan felt a chill, curled up his neck and rubbed his arms through his clothes, "Forget it, if you can't shout seriously, you better stop shouting. I'm going to get goosebumps."
"Hey, you told me not to shout. Zhang Xiaoshan, get up quickly!" Li Ping'an raised his foot, as if Zhang Xiaoshan would step down if he didn't get up.
Zhang Xiaoshan had nothing to do with Li Ping'an, so he could only mutter and curse and stand up, "You can go with me if you want. Do you have any candy left? Bring me two pieces."
Li Ping'an quickly ran back to get it. After Zhang Xiaoshan took it, he put one piece into the hands of his future daughter-in-law, Chen Taohua, and the other piece to his future sister-in-law, Chen Zhaodi.
"Don't worry, there is no shortage of candy at Li Pingan's place." After saying this to Chen Taohua and Chen Zhaodi, Zhang Xiaoshan kicked Li Pingan on the butt, "Why don't you leave?"
This should be able to restore some image with the future daughter-in-law and future sister-in-law, right?
