Chapter 226 Saving Food

She also saw several grandsons of the village captain Wang Jianjun's family, whose living conditions were at a high level, also picking wild vegetables, as well as his two daughters-in-law.

It seems that the villagers have already prepared for the worst, that is, no harvest.

There is a river at the foot of the back mountain, and it is not narrow. Even if it has not rained since the beginning of summer, it is impossible to dry up. Lin Xue knows that the reason why the farmer can't irrigate it is because of limited manpower.

How can human strength beat a machine? How much land can a person water if he dies in a day?

Besides, the land was dry again two days after watering today, so there are so many lands, no matter how many people there are, it is too late.

But if a few water trucks are used to irrigate the fields... No, no, there is a large area of ​​drought, and she has no way to save the farmers. They are almost dying of drought, and the leaves are curled together and turned yellow. What can I do? save?

At this time, Lin Xue was a little bit blind. Although she was a little down-to-earth, she was not a farmer! At this stage, she is also finished.

Looking at such a lifeless field all the way, when Lin Xue returned home, only grandma Bai Xianglan was left watching the two children, and no one else was in sight.

"Grandma! I'm back!" Xue Lin yelled from outside and entered the room.

"Oh, my Xiaoxue is back? Hurry up! Come in and rest for a while, grandma will wash melons for you!" The two children were sleeping, and Bai Xianglan was very excited when she saw that her eldest granddaughter had returned safely. After walking around, I happily ran out to pick melons from the vegetable garden.

The watermelon is not yet ripe, so the watermelon she said is the cantaloupe.

Lin Xue glanced at the two cute babies sleeping on the kang, it really hasn't changed in a day, these two have grown up a lot.

It is still comfortable to live in this big tile-roofed house. The bright sunlight and the spacious and clean space make people very comfortable.

She came out of her parents' room, and after a careful look, she found that there were many shelves in the living room with long beans hanging on them.

She knew this, the color of long beans dried in the house would not change, and it was still so green, but the ones dried directly in the sun would turn yellow, and the taste was not as good as the latter.

There are eggplants, cucumbers, and red peppers drying on the big dustpan.

Almost dried all the vegetables in the vegetable garden that could be dried in the sun. She knew that there must be more than that, and her mother must have put away a lot.

Looking at it, grandma picked two melons and washed them for her.

"Xiaoxue girl! Grandma has been worried every day since you left, how is it? Did you go to Kyoto to learn more this time?" He said with a smile and handed the melon to her.

"Well, I have gained a lot of knowledge! Our place is 20 or 30 years behind Kyoto! Every household over there is electrified! Grandma, do you know? It's the electric light! It's much brighter than candles! And the street snacks are delicious. It's over! I brought back a lot!" Lin Xue said, pointing to the bag she brought in.

"My child, why does this old man bring so many things back? Did Xiao Yuan send you back? Where is the person?" Grandma said disapprovingly when she saw the bag.

"I came back by myself. He was pressed for time. He had already bought a ticket to take me home, so I secretly ran back by myself!" Lin Xue said out with her tongue out.

She knew that her family would definitely disapprove of her saying that she came back secretly alone, and her mother would be nagging and crying again, but if she didn't say it, the family would blame Zhang Yuan, that's absolutely impossible.

"You child..." So, grandma started her nagging first. Although she didn't wipe her tears like her mother did, she was quite frightened by her boldness.

"Grandma, haven't I come back well? Don't worry! By the way, what about Mom and Xiaoyun?" Lin Xue hurriedly changed the subject.

"Your mother took the five of them out to pick wild vegetables! It's time to come back soon!" Bai Xianglan stopped her nagging, and was interrupted by Lin Xue.

"Picking wild vegetables? What are you doing? Wild vegetables are not tasty!" Lin Xue knew that the food she had left for them was enough for two months. Moreover, with her here, how could there be any need to pick wild vegetables!

"My child, this is for delicious food! Cut the wild vegetables and mix them into the grain to cook porridge. Isn't that saving food!" Grandma thought that her granddaughter didn't understand, so she explained to her, "Summer! It's just to mix wild vegetables with grain. This saves food and fills the stomach!"

"Grandma! Our family is not short of food, why eat wild vegetables? What's wrong with having that time? It's more important to let younger brothers and sisters read more books!" Lin Xue said disapprovingly.

Hearing this, Bai Xianglan frowns sadly, obviously looking worried.

"It's not raining in the sky, so the common people have almost no way to live! Seeing that the farmer is almost out of harvest! Our family is also an urban household registration. When the drought hits, it will be difficult to buy food with the money and food stations. Food! Take advantage of the summer, hurry up and write more vegetables, so that you won’t be hungry in winter! Sigh..."

Bai Xianglan never told Lin Xue about these things, and she must be worried now. There are eight children in this family. Before that, the eldest granddaughter bought food, but when the time comes, the food will no longer be available. Then only Da Liang is at work, but why? Feeding this big family? I only have a pension of ten yuan a month, can I afford it?

"Don't worry, is there me? I have a special channel for buying food. As long as we have money, we can buy it. It is the person introduced to me by Zhang Yuan! It is very reliable! Grandma, don't worry too much!" Lin Lin Snow could only comfort her like this.

She can never tell her own secrets, and she can never say that even if the drought lasts for ten or eight years, even if the wells do not produce water, her family can still eat and drink well, and will not die of hunger and thirst.

But there is no way to tell her grandma about this, so she can only use Zhang Yuanlai as a shield to comfort her grandma.

I don’t know how much grandma can listen to, but she is back, and she won’t let her family eat wild vegetables.

Originally, the whole family ate fine grains, chicken, duck and fish meat for so long, and recovered their health, but this trouble made them return to pre-liberation?

That’s not okay, she managed to raise all the little ones back, and she’s used to eating fine grains and meat every day, so they can’t bear to reduce their food all of a sudden.

"Xiaoxue! Grandma knows that Xiaoyuan is powerful, but our family can't trouble him too much, or you will be a dwarf in front of him in the future! Son! Be obedient! Don't ask Xiaoyuan for everything! Grandma still has some money here, you can take it ! If you can buy food, then buy more! You can’t have no rice to cook in winter, winter is much more difficult than summer!” Bai Xianglan hurried back to her room to get money.

"Grandma, take care of your money yourself! People who have sons and grandchildren have to use their own money to support their families. People will laugh at us for being unfilial! Granddaughters have money here! Don't forget, I am still the head of the chicken farm now! I have 60 yuan a month! I can afford to support our family! Don’t worry! I am an old lady, and I have a lot of grandchildren! You have to take care of yourself for the elderly! Be good!" Lin Xue said with a coaxing tone behind her.
