Hard times have room

Chapter 523
"Mother, I've been very hungry in the past two days. Look, my bones are protruding. I fainted at school before. The teacher said that I need to supplement nutrition."

After speaking, Xu Zihua walked to his room on his own, and said without looking back: "Call me when you're done cooking, I'll go to bed first, this reading is too brain-intensive."

"Oh, I see." After answering, Mrs. Xu's face became even more sad.

She kept the eggs at home for food, so it was a pity to eat them in vain.

Listening to what the third child meant, one was not enough, and it made her worry about whether to give it or not.

Here, Xu Zihua has stopped, and there, Xu Zhaoke has not stopped.

As soon as he came back, in addition to the three-bedroom family, plus the old couple, and the others, it was the nose, not the nose, and the eyes, not the eyes.

I don't talk about him, I don't make trouble with him, but I just ignore him.

Although Xu Zhao didn't suffer any actual harm, it didn't hurt or itch, but this kind of behavior is very responsive!
At the same time, his "everyday behavior" is widely circulated among the young and old in the village. In this regard, his eldest aunt and second aunt have contributed a lot.

But this kind of thing, if you really want to talk about it, it's just a little gossip. It's really no big deal. If you want to make trouble with this, it's not a joke for them.

Therefore, since he came back, Xu Zhao doesn't like going out very much. Even if he goes out, he only goes to his neighbor's house, that is to find Xu Zihua. The two people's common words now are called more than one, and they are all about their own family. Dissatisfaction with siblings next door.

It was a riotous two days, but it was all to no avail. As soon as the two days were up, Xu Aiguo personally drove the ox cart and sent Xu Zhao and Xu Zihua to the school. Use the food you save.

Xu Aiguo's conditions are better. He brought Xu Zhao ten sweet potatoes and twelve catties of rice. This is already very good. He can have half a catty of grain every day. There are only a handful of people in the village who have this level. He is the first. portion.

Xu Zihua brought a little less, his family was not so thick, ten pounds of sweet potatoes and eight pounds of rice, that's all, he still took it out through gritted teeth.

This is the first time to bring meals by yourself, and the school has no experience. They all directly ask students to bring food, bring their own lunch boxes, and the school just steams them for them.

However, the school is still discussing whether or not to let students pay a uniform amount of food. At that time, as before, just go to the cafeteria to get food.

However, there are many people who oppose this plan. If it is two years ahead of schedule, it will be fine. There is no payment for food, and the school can buy it with the money. But now is a particularly difficult period.

It's hard to decide how much to pay. The situation of this student is not good. Now they are all food brought by tightening their belts. They should be handed over to the school and the cafeteria will arrange it. Maybe no one will be relieved.

Not only students, but even schools are not at ease. At this time, food is life!
There was no other way. In the end, I had to arrange a place for the students to put food, a row of iron cabinets with locks, one for each person, then the food was put there, and there were security guards outside, and the security was guaranteed.

After all, with so much white food being put in the dormitory, those hungry students may not be able to hold on to it, which basically cuts off the problem from the root cause.

As soon as Xu Zhao and Xu Zihua left, the whole Shanghe Village had another paragraph of "discussion" about these two people. Except for their own family members, they "chanted" a few words from time to time. Whether it is good or bad depends on who is talking. .

At the same time, Paulin is at home with a backpack every day, and goes out with her parents or Dongmei to find things, wild vegetables and grasshoppers.

At this time, many fruits are already ripe, such as dates, pomegranates, grapefruit, and grapes.

There are people in the village who have these trees now, and there are children who look at those trees every day.

Although the worms are rampant and have caused a lot of harm, there are still so many left, but very few. There are still traces of insects eating on them, and it is rare to see them intact, but even so, the children in the village They are still eager.

People who have trees in the village are also watching closely, and they rush out whenever there is any movement. There are not many left this year, so a few crooked melons and jujubes are more precious than before.

At this time, the fruit is so rare, and maybe it can be sold for a good price. If it is so troubled by the group of cubs in the village, then I really want to cry.

No, as soon as there is movement, they come out. As soon as they see the little girl with a long pole, she lifts her leg with a stick and rushes out. When the children see an adult coming, they also run away. The adults are also agile.

In this way, the drama of you chasing me will be staged basically every day in the village.

In addition to children, adults are not all greedy, but most of them are holding back.

Of course, it is not impossible to resist.

Li Qiang secretly went to another house to pick grapefruit. He did it at night. Besides his precious son crying for grapefruit, he was also greedy.

By the way, I can send some to his good buddies to better integrate into that small group and let them make a fortune with themselves.

That's right, because the family was about to run out of cooking because of the long-term insufficiency, Li Qiang went directly to a small gang who walked around the streets, didn't do business, and stalked chickens and dogs.

In the beginning, the most marginal person was to give those people a look at the wind and handle the small things such as the door. However, recently, he finally participated in the core events of this small group, and he couldn't be more happy.

That's right, it's the middle of the night to steal chickens and dogs, step on the spot during the day, and do it at night, all of which are looking for someone in the village where they live.

The previous vote was given by a person from Chenjiazhuang. That person is Chen Xiong. It is said that he sold four chickens from his second uncle’s family. He got three and sold them on the black market for 15 yuan. He also got one yuan, which made him very excited. It turned out that this money was so easy to get!
In addition to chickens, they also steal food. However, this is rarely done, because there is no information. Besides, who doesn't hide food tightly now, the effort and the harvest are completely unequal. It's better to steal chickens. , this is a good deal. Those who raise a lot of chickens are also their goals.

After all, they are only petty thieves, and they don't engage in kidnapping and extortion. This petty thief, even if they are caught, is not a big deal. At most, they will be beaten and locked up for a few days.

But if it's kidnapping for blackmail or something, it won't work. If you're not careful, people will be killed, and you'll be shot at that time. Who dares to do it.

If there were such ruthless people, they wouldn't go to that little gangster group. It would be bad to go directly to the county town to work hard. That's where there is a future.
