Traveling through the ages: the apocalyptic couple salted fish lie down and win!

Chapter 144

An hour later, Mu Ziteng came back with two sacks of rice, but Mu Fu Mu Mu behind him was empty-handed, and their faces were not very good-looking.

How is this going?Could it be that the two elders are divided into so many points?
My God, the two bags look like two hundred catties, but after the shells are removed, they can weigh up to one hundred and sixty catties.

Is this a year's ration?

The second elder's complexion was not good, and Jian Qingling couldn't help crowding around to ask what was going on, so she could only look at Mu Ziteng in bewilderment.

Mu Ziteng put down the pole, looked up and saw his daughter-in-law's curious eyes, sighed and said, "This is the food that parents got for one year."

really……

Seeing his daughter-in-law's clear eyes, Mu Ziteng didn't talk too much. Didn't his parents look even worse after he said those words?

The scene was quiet for a long time before Father Mu sighed heavily, "Third brother, do you have a way to buy food? I still have some money in my hand. Now that the price of food is still cheap, hurry up and buy it back for storage."

In this year's situation, it is impossible not to buy food outside. He has to store more food for the family as soon as possible, and the food will only become more and more expensive in the future. Unfortunately, with the hundred or so yuan in his hand, he can't buy much food what.

Mu Ziteng wanted to laugh, "Father, who would sell the food at home now? This drought is nationwide, and there is a shortage of food everywhere. Even if someone sells it, the price will be sky-high."

When the family was separated, his parents only had ten or twenty yuan in their hands. After three or four years, after deducting the usual expenses, there is only a hundred yuan left at most. How many catties of grain can they buy?And now even if you have money, you can't buy food.

"Oh, if I knew this earlier, I should have made preparations sooner." It's useless for Father Mu to regret it now.

"Don't sigh, old man. At worst, I'll go to the mountains to pick wild vegetables and mix them with them." Mu Mu raised her head and said firmly, "It's not like I haven't experienced the days of starvation. I have survived the more difficult times before. Now the reform and opening up There are no little devils threatening your life, and you are still afraid of starvation?"

"The old lady is right, but I was wrong." Father Mu had withdrawn his previous discouragement and cheered up again. He couldn't let his youngest son see his own jokes.

"Hey, my parents, there is a son here, how can it make you hungry? Have you forgotten how much food is stored in my cellar?"

Mu Ziteng wanted to laugh, but he was worried that the second elder would get angry, so he could only hold back, but it made his stomach hurt.

"That's right, how much food is there in the cellar?" Father Mu slapped his thigh, why did he forget the hamster character of his younger son?
And didn't the old couple open up wasteland, even if there was a severe drought, there would always be some harvest, and those would all be their own in the end.

"Don't worry, plus potatoes and sweet potatoes, there are several thousand catties, enough to feed our family for a year."

Now there is only half a cellar of grain in the cellar, plus vegetables that can be stored for a long time. This is what he left outside as a cover after careful consideration.

One reason is that the two elders are soft-hearted, and the food will not be considered precious if there is too much food. The second reason is that half of the fine grains and half of the coarse grains are given. After that, the rations for a family of four will be enough for a year, and in the end they will not be able to live in vain.

Of course, he and his wife must not have enough to eat, it doesn't matter, didn't he go out and start a small stove?Stealthily avoid the second elder to eat.

Doing this may be unfair to the second elder, but there is no way to do it. I don't want to bring unnecessary trouble to myself and Xiao Lingzi, so I can only wrong the second elder. After these three years have passed, he will make up for the second elder .

"Yes, I almost forgot, and the sweet potatoes haven't been brought back, we can share the food again, haha" Mu Mu slapped her thigh hard, and immediately laughed.

Really, you don’t know how to cherish without comparison.

Who cared about those sweet potatoes in the past two years?Most of them are fed to pigs.

"Well, sweet potatoes shouldn't be affected by the drought, but it's a pity that there aren't many grown in the village." Father Mu wanted to sigh again.

"Father, have you eaten tonight?" Jian Qingling asked with concern.

"I ate and ate, I went to the warehouse after eating, ouch, old man, it's getting late, we should go back." Almost forgot the time.

"Go back." Father Mu stood up and walked out with his hands behind his back.

"By the way, parents, you can come over to eat from tomorrow, you don't need to do it in the old house." Jian Qingling shouted when the two elders were about to go out.

"Don't worry, there is still some food at home, come over to your side after eating." Father Mu refused.

"Hey... okay." Jian Qingling stood at the gate of the courtyard and watched Mu Ziteng send the second elder back.

The three of them walked to the door of the old house, and at the same time they smelled the smell of rice mixed with bacon. The heads of the three of them turned to the other side in unison, which was the residence of the first room and the second room.

"Father and mother, please go into the house and go to bed early."

Heh... It's the food distribution today, so are you celebrating?It seems that life is good, and there is meat to eat.

Mu Mu hurriedly took out the key from her waist and opened the courtyard door.

"Third brother, go back quickly, it's not safe for Xiaoling to be alone at home." After Mu's father entered the yard, Mu's mother put both hands on a door and urged Mu Ziteng to go back.

Xiao Lingzi is very safe.

"Mother, close the door, and I'll leave." Mu Ziteng replied softly.

"Okay." Mumu closed the yard with a smile.

Mu Ziteng stood at the door for another five minutes before turning back.

After two days of calm, on this day, three strangers on bicycles came towards their village, but the three separated before crossing the bridge. One of the men in his thirties got off his bicycle and pushed Walking towards the bridge, the other two bikes continue to ride.

It happened that this scene was captured by Jian Qingling's unintentional release of mental power. She was 100% sure that the three of them knew each other. Then she thought about what Mu Mu said about the meeting that day, and wondered if they were people sent by the county to investigate?

Thinking of this, she immediately put down the wool in her hand and walked to the vegetable field outside the yard.

Mu Ziteng bent over to pull out the dense cabbage in the vegetable field, tidy up the small cabbages and put them in the space, until there were only one or two cabbages in each cage, before moving on to the next station.

"Wood." Jian Qingling called out from outside the vegetable field.

"Hey, what's the matter?"

"A stranger came into the village. I suspect it's someone from the county. He's crossing the bridge now. I don't know what he's going to do. I'm worried that something will happen. You should inform the village chief immediately."

The village chief took such a big risk for the sake of the village, and they couldn't help them. Naturally, they would not be lazy if they did something within their power to inform the village that a stranger had come.
