"Da Qiang... Baolian..." Lu Jianshu looked at his son-in-law and daughter, his lips moved up and down but he was speechless.
Su Xiaoqiang looked at the four people there. In addition to Father Lu, there were three men. They looked very similar, so they were probably a family.
"Okay, okay, let's sit down and talk. Da Ya won't go and pour tea for your grandpa and uncles." Yao Erniang walked out of the back room, holding various cakes in her hands.
Everyone was sitting a little awkwardly, not knowing what to say for a moment. Yao Erniang only had to kick Su Daqiang, and as a son-in-law, he was not allowed to say a few words first.
"Ahem..." Su Daqiang had met Lu's father before, and then he met twice occasionally. Both of them were very cold, and they mostly just passed on various messages, so Su Daqiang had a good relationship with his brother-in-law.
"Uncle, are you... okay?"
Pfft... Su Xiaoqiang almost burst out laughing, what kind of words are these tigers and wolves. Seeing everyone looking at him, Su Xiaoqiang could only laugh and said: "Don't get me wrong, I usually don't laugh unless I can't help it. Brother, when did you change?" Such a mother-in-law."
"Uncle, how is the village doing now?"
When it came down to business, everyone seemed relieved.
Lu Jianshu was also a little embarrassed. Ever since he learned that the letter sent by his son-in-law to his son said that they had gone to settle in the city, he couldn't help but send the letter back.
As the captain of the village, he really couldn't bear to see people starving to death, so he had to come here shamelessly.
I thought that even if I lost face, I would admit it. As long as there was food, it seemed that the Su family was really easy to negotiate. Thinking that I had looked down on the Su family before, I suddenly felt a little ashamed.
“Last year’s autumn harvest started to yield nothing, and this year we have almost eaten everything we can eat.”
Su Xiaoqiang nodded. The edible things probably include various wild vegetables and even bark and leaves.
"I'm here to trouble you this time. With those 1,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes and 200 kilograms of rice, I can get through this winter."
"Yes, our village is actually fine. The river is not completely dry, but we can't irrigate it. So this year's autumn harvest is not good, and the food is unsustainable, so I came here shamelessly." As the eldest brother, Lu Hongjun was embarrassed. stood up to smooth things over.
There was nothing wrong with Su Xiaoqiang, and the Lu family was quite interesting. He didn't agree with his eldest sister-in-law's marriage at first, but when she did get married, she often brought money to subsidize Lu Baolian. According to him, he didn't need so much to marry a wife!
But Lu Baolian is also a stubborn person. Even if she doesn't want money, she won't go back. She has always been so stubborn. If she wasn't a stubborn person, how could she insist on marrying Su Daqiang? There wouldn't be so many things.
Lu Baolian looked at her old father, who had gray hair, and her eldest brother, who was so hungry and disfigured. She remembered that even if she said cruelly that she didn't have a mother's family, she couldn't help but feel that she was really too willful before.
"Dad, eldest brother... all these years I..." Lu Baolian choked up as she spoke, "My daughter is unfilial, oh oh oh..."
"No...it's okay. My daughter is filial and sensible...what happened in the past is in the past." Father Lu also had tears in his eyes and didn't know what to say.
Yao Erniang breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this. Her daughter-in-law and her in-laws were all born in the year of the Ox. After so many years of persuasion, it was of no use. Fortunately, the knot in her mind was finally solved.
Su Xiaoqiang saw that the two of them had been crying for a while, as if they wanted to cry out all the tears they had shed over the years, so he immediately advised: "Sister-in-law, please be careful with your health. You should be more careful when you are not pregnant for a long time."
"Daughter, are you pregnant again? Then you can't cry anymore and be careful." When Lu Jianshu heard that his daughter was pregnant again, he immediately held back his tears.
Although her in-laws are very nice, her daughter has not yet given birth to a son, and she finally got pregnant again, so nothing can happen to her.
"It's okay. I'm eating well and resting well now. I don't even feel pregnant unless I'm pregnant." After Lu Baolian recovered, her whole body was filled with vitality, which was different from that kind of confidence.
Counting the days, there are still some days. In a few months, I will be able to find out whether it is a boy or a girl.
Thinking of counting the days, Su Xiaoqiang felt like he had forgotten something!
lottery!
I almost forgot, so I immediately opened the virtual screen and started to control the lottery with my mind.
Sure enough, the pointer landed on the noodle, this time it was 1 ton of noodle.
'Since there is such a shortage of food now, let's do it 10,000 times! '
If there were 10,000 tons of stick noodles, a lot of people could be saved. This is what Su Xiaoqiang thought and did, but... at first glance, the magnification rate was only 5%.
"So low?"
1,000 times...45 percent
200 times...50 percent
100 times...60 percent
It seems that the ratio is the same as that of sweet potatoes, so let’s go for 200 times. 200 tons of stick noodles can feed a lot of people.
"Ding...bang~~"
Su Xiaoqiang felt his ears ringing, and then a firework appeared on the tiger screen, and the stick noodles were gone... gone...
"What the f*ck...fuck...it didn't work!" This was the first time Su Xiaoqiang failed twice. This feeling was very bad. The ton of stick noodles he had drawn was gone.
"Xiaoqiang, Xiaoqiang?" Su Daqiang's voice came to his ears.
"Ah? Ah! What's wrong, brother?" Su Xiaoqiang came back to his senses and asked.
"What are you thinking? Uncle asked you if you can transport the grain away tonight?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? Why don't you go back after playing for two more days?"
"We think that if we go back to the village a few days later, people will really starve to death." Lu Jianshu said anxiously.
"Then how much money did you bring? As long as you have money, you will have food. I have also told them about your situation. Considering your difficulties, I will give you the wholesale price, sweet potatoes are 5 cents per catty, and rice is 3 cents per catty." Su Xiaoqiang thought for a while and said.
Before the famine, sweet potatoes were something no one wanted for 2 cents a pound. Rice was no more than 2 cents. No matter how low the price was, people would be suspicious.
"So cheap? No need to be like this, I can't let you lose money." Lu Jianshu said as he started to take off his pants.
"Dad, go get it in the corner over there!" Lu Hongjun's words suddenly made Lu Jianshu blush.
He ran to the corner in a panic, "My head is all confused, I'm confused."
After a while, a warm ball of banknotes was placed in Su Xiaoqiang's hand.
"Here is all the money of the 600 people in the village. It's all here, a total of 1,200 and 60 yuan. We all thought that there must be food for sale at the Pigeon Market in Sijiu City, so we prepared more. "Lu Jianshu explained.
Su Xiaoqiang calculated in his mind and said, "That's 12 tons of sweet potatoes and 200 kilograms of rice, right?"
"Yes, yes, it would be better if there were stick noodles."
"Uh..." Su Xiaoqiang felt uncomfortable when it came to the stick noodles.
"You're a brainless idiot. It's already good if you have sweet potatoes. Why are you choosing?" Lu Jianshu kicked his son's butt.
"There's no problem with the food, but how are you going to transport it?" Su Xiaoqiang asked curiously. Just four people couldn't transport it.
"There are still people outside the city. For safety's sake, there are thirty people in total. We have rushed over with six oxcarts from the production team, as well as pallets and wheelbarrows!"
Just come prepared and it will save you trouble.
"Since we're done eating like this, let's go transport the food. I'll have people put the food in the woods outside the city. When the time comes, you can take people to pick it up directly. Don't look back after taking it. Let's go back through the trail over there. Be careful on the road.”
"We have brought weapons, and we can almost reach Lujiazhuang after walking all night, so it's not a big problem." Lu Jianshu almost said that I had calculated the time.
"Then let's eat."
"Brother-in-law, let's try some of our specialties. This is something we caught from the mud in the river."
"crayfish?"
