I Wore It Back After 60 Years

Chapter 785 Jade Pixiu

Li Xingxing's eyes were bright, and he looked around the room a little.

There is very little furniture, just a bed, a few boxes, a few chairs, and a square table. They are dilapidated, but there are portraits of great men pasted on the front of the main room, which are spotlessly clean.

Poor means poorer, and the inside and outside are very clean.

After pouring the water, Master Wang drank the wild vegetable soup in one gulp, and said embarrassingly, "I just laughed."

Li Xingxing was puzzled by this, "Aren't you a retired old worker? Why is life so difficult? The supply of Shanghai citizens has never been cut off. Your two elders..."

Master Wang told the truth: "My parents and parents-in-law are in Liangxi, and all the food and money we saved have been sent to them."

The sons and daughters have their own families, and their lives are very ordinary, as long as the two elders don't starve to death.

"Is life difficult?" Li Xingxing asked.

"The rations of urban residents are only fifteen catties of rice. There are two families, old and young, and there are black households in them. If they don't support them, they will starve to death. Comrade Xia gave them the remittance voucher last time, and I sent them all the grain, oil and cloth I bought. Then exchange coarse grains for coarse grains, and finally get through the first year." Master Wang also has no choice but to stand by and watch them.

Li Xingxing pursed his lips.

The urban residents in Liangxi are like this, let alone the rural residents.

With the emergence of 170 million tons of grain out of thin air, the grain donated by caring people one after another, and the grain imported in advance by the country, the three-phase combination, why is the situation still so bad?

She couldn't figure it out, really couldn't figure it out.

Xia Mingxing often walks outside and deals with 360. He understands current affairs better than his wife who lives at home and on campus. Again, the food is still not enough for the famine, far from enough. The history of China is a little bit better, and only about three times the ordinary people who should have starved to death survived.

The remaining [-]% are still hungry.

It's just that Li Xingxing can't see it.

Li Xingxing felt very sad, "Brother Xia..."

Xia Mingxing patted the back of her hand, and whispered to Master Wang: "I have connections, and I can get you several hundred catties of dried sweet potatoes, wheat bran, peanut cakes, bean cakes and other coarse grains at night."

The old couple said in unison: "Really? That's a good thing."

"Really." Xia Mingxing ordered the old man's empty bowl, "How can you survive on vegetable soup? I want to ask Master Wang to carve some jade stones for me. I can't do the work if I don't have the strength. I have something to say first, you must Guaranteed not to mention anything to outsiders, let alone the food that our husband and wife dumped for you."

Master Wang understood, patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, we old couple will keep our mouths shut! Just entrust me with any sculpture work you have, and I will sell the rest of my life to you!"

When he said this, he said again: "You guys wait."

He opened a box at the end of the bed, took out an exquisitely carved mahogany box, and handed it to Li Xingxing: "The last time Comrade Xia asked me to make jewelry, I knew he must love his wife. This is something I carved for a rich family before." , the things were not ready, and their whole family died in the war, and there was no one left. I collected the bodies for them, so I kept the things in my hands for many years, and now I can’t sell them. Li, what do you think? You are willing to help get hundreds of catties of food, I am very grateful, I may not be able to pay for a year or so, and I have to save for a few years."

"No money, I will give it to your elders for free, as long as you make things for us." Li Xingxing took the box and opened it without any hassle. It turned out to be a mutton fat jade Pixiu and pendants carved from leftover materials, bracelets, etc.

That Pixiu is exquisitely carved and vivid.

　Continuing in the code words, the computer's super long standby time is really good, and it only used up 30.00% of the electricity in one day yesterday.
