Hard times have room

Chapter 291 Food Crisis
At eleven or twelve o'clock in the afternoon, the students in the dormitory all left one after another.

Pauline also went to see it, but she didn't go downstairs, she just lay on the corridor, watching the crowded and surrounded by less and less people below.

Many people had smiles on their faces, and they followed their companions and walked away with a look of anticipation.

Almost half of the people in the entire dormitory have left, of which about [-]% are boys and [-]% are girls.

As soon as they left, the entire dormitory building felt much more empty, and the teachers standing at the door of the dormitory and the school also felt relieved. There were fewer people, and the work in the future would be easier.

These people are people who have a place to go in Jiangning County or a suburban township. It is very suitable to start now. Even if the road conditions are not good, they can get home before [-]:[-] pm at the latest. They have calculated this.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that there are still a hundred people in the dormitory waiting for them to arrange for food, drink, Lhasa, and sleep, and sadness flooded into my heart again, what should I do?

Now if it rains again, it may not last a day, and it may be flooded. How to cook at that time will be a big problem.

And last night, the water poured in too suddenly, and the firewood and coal piles were all wet, and now the fire is difficult to rise, and even the hot ones may not be able to eat.

At noon, I still found some dilapidated tables and chairs to make a fire, and reluctantly used some of the remaining grains to cook three pots of gruel. Everyone ate half a bowl, and they were not hungry at all.

Originally, according to the previous practice, now is the end of the month. When the students are on vacation, there is no food in the canteen. It has to wait until the last day of the end of the month. Not much, two meals of gruel a day can last for four or five days, and then there will be no food and no cooking.

In the current situation, it is impossible to expect that food will be transported into No. [-] Middle School at the beginning of the month. The best situation is that the water will recede and the students will go back to their homes safely. Otherwise, the water will not be flooded, and this person will be hungry first. broken.

These are all questions, worrisome!

After four o'clock in the afternoon, Kuang Lili returned to the dormitory dejectedly carrying something.

There is no one in her house. Although the house is on the second floor, there is no problem at all, but she does not dare to leave her alone at home. After she is lost, she is busy packing things, mainly food.

Now the cloth bag in her hand is full of food, including candy cubes, peanuts, half a box of biscuits, and five barely cooked old corns, the kind that are hard to chew and taste very rough. But now besides this, she really has nothing else to eat.

Most of the time there are no people in the house, and there is no fire to cook. The breath of life is not strong at all, and there is really little food to eat. These corns were brought by relatives last time, but because they are too old, the taste is not good. It was very rough, everyone disliked it, and did not move, but now it has become Kwong Lili's important ration.

There were originally eight, but when they were at home at noon, they shared the food with Chen Jiao and Chen Song, and also shared some biscuits and candies.

Brother and sister Chen Jiao and Chen Song were not polite to Kwong Lili either. At this time, they would starve if they were not polite. They didn't even have a meal, so they accompanied Kwong Lili to her house. , Now this food is coming just right.

Although this old corn had a lot of teeth and could not be chewed, at the end of the meal, the teeth were sore, and the whole corn was swallowed whole, but in the end it was real food, and no one disliked it. After ten minutes, All fell off their stomachs.

The big belly is the biggest in the world. Who cares so much at this time? Those who can't go home have eaten this meal, and they don't know where the next meal will be. Cherish it!

Seeing the bag in Kuang Lili's hand, all the other people in the dormitory cast their coveted eyes.

I didn't eat breakfast, I only had a little gruel at noon, and now it's not time for dinner. Although I didn't move much in bed, it wasn't very hungry for this little thing!

Who doesn't see the green light in their eyes now?

It's better for Pauline. She secretly ate half a sweet potato. Although her stomach feels hungry now, it's not very obvious.

Although she has food in her space, she doesn't dare to be too presumptuous. If others are hungry, their face is yellow and skinny, and she eats with a red face, this is too abnormal, so it is necessary to maintain a certain sense of hunger. , but there is no need to go too far, everyone in the dormitory knows that there are peanuts in her box.

It's not that Kwong Lili didn't see the eyes of other people in the dormitory. She saw it and understood what it meant, but she couldn't respond, and she didn't dare to look at them. At this time, in order not to starve, she could only hold on tight. The scalp pretended to be invisible, although it was contrary to her usual personality, but she couldn't care so much.

I don't know how long it will take for the water to recede. She has the food in her hands. What will she eat after that, will she starve with them?Why?
It's impossible for this kind of thing to happen to her, she can't grieve her own belly for someone else's belly.

Chen Jiao also walked up to Kuang Lili at this time, holding her hand and giving her silent support.

Of course, this is selfish. Kwong Lili has a lot of things in her hands, and she can still rub her cheeks from time to time. She believes that with the relationship between the two of them, this is not a difficult task. Now, where else can she go!
Pauline also noticed the silent confrontation below, but she just stuck her head out, glanced at it, and then retracted her gaze. Now she doesn't even have the mood to watch the play, and she is worried!
It's boring to go over and over again. The day before the exam, she just returned the book she borrowed. She just finished the exam, and she hasn't had time to go to the library to borrow it, even if she wants to find a spare book to read to distract her attention. Can't do it.

Here, Kuang Lili just put the cloth bag in her hand on the bed, she was impatient, and now lying on the bed, Chen Ju, who was hungry and growling, said, "Lili, aren't you going home? You are going to be in the dormitory. Will you stay with us?"

Her home is far away, and she has a very poor relationship with her fellow villagers. Basically, she has no friends. When the teacher came to ask if she would go home with her, she was the one who stayed in the dormitory like Pauline, and didn't even go out.

"Well, yes, my father and brother are not at home. I'm staying at home alone, and I'm a little scared, so I came to the school to stay with you." Kuang Lili pursed her lips, forced a smile, raised her head, facing the Chen Ju in the upper bunk replied.
