Lin Hu entered the space and started farming, and reclaimed dozens of acres, totaling a hundred acres of planting area. Corn was planted and well water was poured. It won't take long to start digging out. I'll water it again tomorrow night. Mature in two days.
One acre costs two thousand catties, one hundred acres costs two hundred thousand catties, or one hundred tons. If you plant it for one month, you can save an area. I will wait until the end of the month to visit some of the hardest-hit areas. I really don’t want to walk through the flames of war only to succumb to hunger.
Go to work, get off work, farm, teach, just a few things. After constant repetition, at the end of the month, I asked Director Yang for tens of thousands of sacks, which were packed into the space and filled with cornmeal. Put it in the compound last time, ask Factory Director Yang where the worst-hit area is, mobilize sixty trucks, load three tons, one hundred and eighty tons, and set off in a long convoy to He Province. The journey became more and more desolate, and finally in four days we arrived in He Province, a hardest-hit area with three impoverished counties. There was no harvest last year, and there is no sign of rain this year. The ground is full of dry soil.
The big trees here are all white, without bark.
Each village, one truck, is driven by the local government and the police, sixty villages at a time. When they arrive at the village, this truck of food is distributed to every family. The village Lin Hu went to is relatively large, and two trucks come Yes, the village chief shouted with a loudspeaker, "Villagers, pay attention, villagers, pay attention, distribute the food, the government relief food has arrived."
At this time, I saw people walking out of their houses one after another. They were all very skinny. In order to avoid looting, they were all asked to line up and bring their own bags of food.
After distributing food all morning, there were still many people. At this time, three children, the older was seven or eight years old and the younger was three or four years old, came to receive the food. "Why didn't the adults come to collect it? I asked the children to come and collect it. Can they take it back?" Lin Hu asked. "Oh, they are all suffering. The adults even gave the three of them some food. The adults starved themselves to death. Our home is far away from the village and the children are still young. I didn't know that the adults were too hungry to move. Just feed them water every day, and the children also drink water. After a month, the adults died, so they gave the three of them food every day. The parents lived on water for a month, and they fell down and couldn't get up." "You three Are you willing to go with me? I can raise you." "Take your younger brothers and sisters away, my parents are still here," the brother said.
"I will send you back when you grow up. You are too young to survive now, and the villagers also have a difficult life." Lin Hu fought for it again.
"Okay, we three brothers will not separate," "I won't let you separate, we will always be together," Lin Hu said,
"Thank you, we will repay you when we grow up, uncle"
"Okay, after dividing the food and eating, come home with us. When you get married, if you want to come back, I will take you back. I will bring you back every year to offer incense to your parents." This way, you can come back once a year.
"Okay, my brother, sister and I will go with you. I'm going to starve to death. I don't know if the two of them can survive." Lin Hu felt sad after hearing this. This is what the Chinese people have in their bones. Everyone around him also had red eyes.
"Please do well and bring my granddaughter with you. I am just a lonely old woman. I'm afraid I won't be able to support her." An old woman spoke at this time, "This is..." "A family member of the military martyrs, the child was three years old. They were sent back. My parents sacrificed their lives, and I have survived on a little pension these years." The village chief answered Lin Hu.
There is nothing to say, just take it with you, "All your grandparents and grandchildren, please come with me to my house." "I won't cause you any more trouble." "It's not troublesome, and you can still take care of a few children."
"Sister-in-law, go ahead. It's easier to think about the child in front of you." "Then it's going to cause trouble?" "It's not troublesome. I can still support a few of you."
The distribution was completed in the afternoon, so the children and the elderly got on the truck, sat in the passenger seat, and took out the buns from the space, two for each person. I didn’t dare to give more. The children ate very quickly, and the old lady ate it. One said, "Auntie, eat everything. I won't make you hungry in the future."
The old lady thought for a while and ate the last bun, and the others felt much better. The convoy was all here and we headed back. It took three days for the car to reach Sijiucheng. Directly ask the team to drive the car to the compound and arrange for workers to load the car.
Lin Hu came to the house with several people. There are many single rooms in the wooden house at the back. I found two single rooms and didn't live in a bunkhouse. "Auntie, I don't know what to call you. Please take care of these children. When you eat, go to my courtyard. In the front yard, I will go home first to see if there are any rooms, and then I will arrange a room for you. Try to live in my yard." "Thank you, this place is very good."
"No, there will definitely be a lot of people here after a while, old and young, what should I do if I get bullied? I can't be here all the time."
"Then I'll let you arrange it. I won't cause you any trouble." "No, my eldest daughter and my second daughter were both adopted. The younger daughter was adopted last year and her family took her over last year. She is still with me. Live at home,"
"You are such a good person," "Most Chinese people are like this, but they are willing to face difficulties. I have this convenience, so I will do more things within my ability. Besides, your family can still live peacefully without the efforts of your son and daughter-in-law. , we can’t eat with peace of mind or live in our own homes with peace of mind.”
Lin Hu went home and took a look, and asked his sister to move to the backyard. The middle yard was all poured out. After moving, he went to the board house, took several people home, arranged a place to live, and boiled three pots of hot water in a big pot. , I bathed several people, and the district supply and marketing cooperative bought new clothes and put them on from the inside out.
This old lady really has the aura of a deaf old lady, she is definitely not an ordinary rural old lady. "Auntie, are you not an old lady from the countryside?" "You see? I used to be from Haishi. My family was okay, but they were all killed by the Japs. I married into my husband's family. The Japs won the war in Haishi. My husband's family and I both I moved to my hometown in He Province. Later, my children grew up and got married. They participated in the revolution at school and got married. I waited at home for fifteen years." "Finally, my granddaughter came back. Woo hoo." The old lady really endured I couldn't hold it anymore and cried.
It has always been her goal to raise her granddaughter, and she is on the road looking for food every day. Now I have settled down and let go of my strong will.
"It will be fine in the future. You will also watch your granddaughter grow up and get married. How old is your granddaughter?" "My granddaughter is six years old."
"You three are also coming here. What are your names? How old are you?" "My name is Lin Dabao, 8 years old. This is the younger brother. Lin Erbao, 6 years old. This is the younger sister, Lin Xiaomei is 4 years old."
"Okay, my surname is Lin too. From now on, Lin Hu, we will be a family. I will introduce my brother and sister to you tonight. I also have a younger sister."
"How many people are there?" "That's a lot. Our family used to have twelve people, and fifteen people would eat together, and sometimes seventeen people. Now we all come together, twenty-one people." It's the largest family.
"Wow, there are so many!" "That's not true. From now on, there will be many people to play with at home. Don't go out, there are bad people outside.
"I know. Just play in the yard."
