Farmhouse Pastoral Notes

Chapter 142 Resolved
"It's so serious? Then why don't you let Gao Qing go home to get food?" Yang Weimin looked in disbelief. This Linfang County is much more prosperous than their Heishan Town. Now that the county is out of food, so many people have food problems What can I do.

"Oh..." Yang Meijuan sighed faintly, her eye sockets were deeply sunken, the corners of her eyes were covered with black and blue, she looked like she hadn't slept well.Yang Meijuan looked up at her elder brother, with a wry smile on her tired face, and said helplessly, "There's nothing you can do about it. The price increase of grain in the grain shops in the county town can't stop everyone from wanting to buy grain. , the food was sold out, and we had some food in our family before. But the time of food shortage was too long, and there were too many people in the family to eat. Now, even if you buy it with money, no one will sell it.” Although the price is high, the supply is still sufficient, but now, even if the money is doubled, it may not be able to buy food back, not to mention there is a pregnant woman and two children at home, and Gao Qing is not around, watching his wife and children hungry, I got up early today to go to other counties to buy grain.

After Yang Meijuan finished talking about the situation in the city, she paused and said, "I don't know about our family's situation. Although our family has food, our family has a large population. I'm not afraid of causing trouble to the family." When the food ran out, Yang Meijuan also thought about asking Gao Qing to bring some food back for emergency, but thinking of the situation at home, she reluctantly canceled the plan.

Yang Weimin sighed after listening to Yang Meijuan's words, and looked down at the girl struggling to support her waist, her big belly like a ball, and the way she walked clumsily. Yang Weimin said worriedly, "But you are about to give birth soon. , you don’t have an adult by your side, what will you do if something goes wrong?” Yang Meijuan’s stomach is nine months old, and she is in danger of giving birth at any time, so she has no one to accompany her, and Yang Weimin looks scared .

Yang Meijuan's eyes were bloodshot, and those tiny tail lines were all over her cheeks, which could be due to poor rest.

"Brother, there's nothing I can do about it. I used to have a mother-in-law who took care of me, but when the county ran out of food, everyone was struggling with food, so... I decided to send it home."

Yang Meijuan walked slowly, holding her waist with one hand and holding her belly with the other, and walked slowly forward. Yang Weimin, who was on the side, saw this and directly reached out to support her.

Yang Meijuan smiled, and whispered to the disapproving elder brother, "Brother, it's okay, the mother-in-law's house is not far away, if something happens, it will be there in a quarter of an hour, and I am already the son of two children." Girl, it's nothing serious"

"That's okay, my mother said before she came here, if it's really inconvenient for you to be in Linfang County, you can come to Yangjia Village with us, and I will feel at ease when my mother is watching."

"No." Yang Meijuan directly rejected Yang Weimin's kindness. Looking at his elder brother who wanted to continue persuading him, Yang Meijuan directly grabbed Yang Weimin's arm, shook her head, and said with a wry smile, "Brother, sister, it's been nine months now, and Recently, my fetal gas is moving frequently, I am afraid that there is a sign of childbirth, how can I go a long way?" Yang Meijuan does not want to go back to Yangjiacun, but now her body does not allow her to travel long distances, just imagine, if she gave birth suddenly halfway If you don't go to the front of the village and don't go to the store behind, it will be much more dangerous at that time.

What Yang Meijuan could think of, Yang Weimin could naturally think of, so Yang Weimin's complexion was even worse than before entering the door.

When Yang Weibo parked the ox cart and unloaded the grain from the cart, he saw that his brother and sister were very serious.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Yang Weibo asked directly, having not heard the conversation between the two before.Looking at the eldest sister beside him, Yang Weibo smiled at Yang Meijuan.

"It's nothing, big brother is tired." Yang Meijuan stood aside and smiled at her second brother, then looked down at the food on the side, and said in a surprised tone, "Why did you bring food here? Is there enough food for the family?"

Yang Weibo nodded, "Sister, there is enough food for the family, and the food from years ago was not sold." It is also thanks to Mrs. Yang and Li who thought a lot, so their Yang family still has enough food.

"Juan'er, this is brought here for you. When Gao Qing comes back today, tell him to go back to Yangjiacun with us, and then bring back more food." Yang Weimin finished speaking in a deep voice, and added a few more words, " This is what my mother said, since you can't go home, let Gao Qing go back to get the food. In addition, after getting the mother-in-law back, it will take several days for Gao Qing to go back and forth to Yang's house. It's not safe to bring two of you at home..." Yang Weimin babbled, telling everything that Mrs. Yang and Li had said, and Yang Weibo on the side also added a few sentences from time to time.

Yang Meijuan is not a hypocritical person. The situation in the county is not good now. Gao Qing is afraid that the chances of bringing back food from this trip are very small. If there is food at home, Yang Meijuan will not be polite. At worst, she will buy it with money.

After thinking about this, Yang Meijuan nodded her head and agreed, and after putting the food brought back by Brother Yang Weimin into the kitchen, she will greet the two of them to go back to the house.

Brothers and sisters Gao Mingshuo and Gao Han stayed in the house. They saw the two brought back by her mother. The age is quickly forgotten, and many jokes were made with Yang Weimin, and the room was filled with laughter for a while. Yang Meijuan was leaning on the bed, looking at her brother who was playing with Gao Han not far away, the corners of her mouth slightly raised , but the frowning face before was gone.

In the afternoon, Gao Qing came back with a carriage. Just as Yang Meijuan thought, she really didn't buy any food. Not only Linfang County, but also the towns and cities in the two counties adjacent to Linfang County were all broken. Food, although there is no such thing as starving to death, but if the government does not come forward to alleviate the situation, starving to death will happen sooner or later.

Gao Qing came back with a frustrated face, and when he saw the ox cart parked in the yard, he realized that someone was at home. Gao Qing packed up his mood, and took two quick steps back to the house.

Seeing Yang Meijuan who was already asleep beside her, Gao Qing directly helped her onto the bed, then opened the quilt and covered her up.

"Huh? You're back?" Gao Qing felt his arms being grabbed by two hands, and looked up along with them, only to find that Yang Meijuan had opened her eyes and woke up.

"Get some rest. I haven't had a good rest recently. I finally fell asleep. Did I disturb you because of my loud voice?" Gao Qing asked hastily.Recently, because of family affairs, Yang Meijuan and Gao Qing were frightened together, and her body could no longer bear it.

"No." Yang Meijuan shook her head, then sat up on the bed with Gao Qing's arm, and Gao Qing quickly put one pillow behind Yang Meijuan's back to make her sit more comfortably.

"Brother, they're here." After Yang Meijuan got up, she directly told about the arrival of the Yang family brothers.

"I know, I noticed the bullock cart in the yard when I came back. By the way, where are the brothers?" Gao Qing asked.

Yang Meijuan pointed to the room next door and whispered, "It's resting. The two of you have been driving for two days. I sent them to the next room."

"What about brother Shuo and sister Han?" Gao Qing didn't see the two children either.

"After lunch, Sister Han was yelling and sleepy. I had limited energy, so I had to ask Brother Shuo to coax her to sleep. I guess she fell asleep." Yang Meijuan unconsciously revealed the corner of her mouth when she thought of the girl who was finally having fun. smile.

Gao Qing was infected by Yang Meijuan's smile, and laughed too...

The husband and wife had some private conversations in the room, and Yang Meijuan also talked about the food. After Gao Qing listened to it, he summed it up and agreed. The mother-in-law is back, so that Yang Meijuan will not be sent to take care of her when she gives birth, and Gao Qing can rest assured that in today's world, even giving money may not be enough to provide food.

When Gao Qing left, he deliberately brought money with him. Although the two families were relatives, it hurt feelings to take it for nothing, and the Gao family was not short of money. Gao Qing and Yang Meijuan thought about it, and bought grain at the county price Come down, so you can feel more at ease.

After talking about these things, that night, Gao Qing took the bag of rice that Yang Weimin had brought back to the house of the previous Wen wife.

Because of the food shortage, Mrs. Wen didn't want money, she wanted food all she wanted, so Yang Meijuan had no choice but to send her away. After all, their family didn't have enough food, so how could there be any spare food for Mrs. Wen.

However, Yang Weimin and the others came in time, and they happened to bring two bags of rice, one bag for the family to get through the past few days, and the other bag for Wen Po's money, and then when Gao Qing came back, there would be enough food.

The next day, Gao Qing drove a carriage and followed Yang Weimin's brothers, and also left Linfang County. Because there was a pregnant woman at home, Gao Qing was more anxious, faster than when Yang Weimin and the two came, and the three of them were on the road They didn't rest much, just took turns driving the car back, and when the three of them returned home, they were like refugees who had escaped from disaster.

Yang Weimin directly led Gao Qing to Yang Li's house, and I don't know what Yang Li's Gao Qing said. In short, after lunch, Gao Qing returned with a wagon full of grain. Mrs. Yang Li specially brought a few old hens to Yang Meijuan, saying that they were used for Yang Meijuan's milking.

Gao Qing didn't refuse, but because the live chickens were dishonest, Yang Li directly asked Yang Weimin to kill all the chickens, put them in bags, put them on top of the grain, and take them away together.

Watching Gao Qing leave, Mrs. Yang and Li went back to the house directly. Mrs. Gu on the side glanced at her but didn't say anything. When Yang Weimin returned to the room, she pretended to ask casually, "Weimin, what do you think your mother is doing?" Thinking about it? Is there enough food for our family? I just brought so much for my aunt, my good guy, it’s almost catching up with the food that our family sells in front of me!" After speaking, Gu’s expression was full of sobs, and she glanced at it secretly Yang Weimin's face, seeing that Yang Weimin's face was normal and unchanged, she said boldly again, "Weimin, you said that my natal family is only my mother, and there is no food, so give some if you need it. The food is over"

Yang Weimin calmly glanced at Gu's on the side, and said in a buzzing voice, "Okay, you can go and ask mother if she agrees, if she agrees, I will send it over today." Yang Weimin didn't know what Gu's thinking , Has she forgotten what the old lady Gu looked like when she left?Said she was short of food!Well, he wasn't blind and didn't see.

After listening to Yang Weimin's words, Mrs. Gu didn't reply, thinking that she would be damned if Mrs. Yang and Li agreed. Didn't her mother take some things from their big house before, didn't she see that dead old woman looking like she was going to die?Mrs. Gu didn't dare to provoke Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Li, so it was fine if she didn't give it away. Mrs. Gu tilted her head and said, anyway, she would go home in two days, so she just took some.

The conversation between the two ended here. Anyway, when it came to Yang Li's matter, Gu didn't have the courage to make a fuss.

Two days later, Mrs. Gu tried to secretly bring food home but failed, so she was directly arrested by Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Li, who was so mad at Gu's idiot, that she opened her mouth and directly He cursed loudly.

Mrs. Gu has been doing a lot these days. Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Li scolded her, and her heart was also burning with anger. She got into a fight with Mrs. Mrs. Yang on the spot. Eccentric, only caring about the girl beside her, and not caring about the sons in the housekeeper.

"...Okay, okay, you still have the guts, you're really powerful." Yang Li's chest heaved and heaved, and Gu Shi felt uncomfortable all over with mocking eyes.

"...Mom, I'm telling the truth. The second child's family saw the food you brought to my sister-in-law before, and I'm not the only one." Mrs. Gu was a little guilty, and directly pulled Yuan who was running away and didn't come. Shi.

Yuan Shi turned her head, looked at Yang Li Shi's fierce gaze, and smiled awkwardly, "Sister-in-law, what you said is wrong, the price we rented from our shop was specially asked for by others, but it is much cheaper , now the family has enough food, so it’s okay to take some in the past.”

Mrs. Yang and Li felt that what Mrs. Yuan said was pleasant, so she looked away directly, and then looked at Mrs. Gu fiercely, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy? Tell you, the food belongs to my old lady. I can give it to whoever I like, you are everywhere? You have to go back to the house and stay there." Yang Li directly scolded Gu's ashamed face, and ran back to the house with his head down.

Yuan Shi stood aside and smiled at Yang and Li Shi, then turned and went back to the house.

Seeing that there were no guests in the yard, Mrs. Yang and Li snorted coldly, turned and left...
