Grandma Fang almost stared out of her eyes when she looked at the small amount of food that Fang Youshun brought back.

"Just this little food?" Grandma Fang couldn't believe it.

"Well, that's all." Fang Youshun nodded helplessly.

Fortunately, he has a subsidy. Now his family can make fire on his own, and he can buy food to eat openly. Although his subsidy is not much, it will not make the whole family hungry.

And even if his allowance is not enough, the weather is getting warmer now. When the temperature rises, the wild vegetables in the fields will sprout out. If you dig some wild vegetables and mix them with them, the whole family will not be hungry.

However, just after Fang Youshun felt at ease for half a month, people began to come to borrow money and food. Some people even started cleaning the yard and working as soon as they came in, just so they could eat.

It's not that these people have nothing to eat at home, but they also want to be full and want to save some food for their families to eat more. Fang Youshun's place is obviously the best way out. After all, he has a subsidy and is a human being.

Something everyone knows.

It had only been a few days, but Fang Youshun was already very confused. Those who wanted to use the excuse that there was no food at home did not believe him and kept coming.

Grandma Fang saw that it would not be a problem if things continued like this. Seeing that the weather was getting warmer and wild vegetables began to sprout from the fields, she asked Fang Youshun to take her children to dig wild vegetables in the fields.

When someone came to borrow money or food to make ends meet, Grandma Fang would just take out the wild vegetables and said: "My husband and I are a big family, and even the allowance my old man gets is not enough for me to buy for myself."

If you don't mind eating food, bring some wild vegetables, my family also eats this now."

Those who borrowed money looked at the wild vegetables and thought that Fang Youshun and Shen Jinggui's family had indeed eaten a lot of food in one day, so they could only turn around and walk away. Those who borrowed food or wanted to eat, looked at what Grandma Fang was getting.

The wild vegetables that came over and the dried wild vegetables that had been boiled and hung to dry in the yard were too embarrassed to take, so they left too.

After all, they can dig these wild vegetables themselves, there is really no need to take them from the old lady's hands, as that would make them look too shameless.

After several times like this, no one from the Fang family finally came to the door again, and Fang Youshun and Grandma Fang breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, the construction of the houses of the Shen brothers also started. The homestead is not far to the south of the Shen family's old home.

In fact, the brothers were still debating whether to build a house this year. After all, hiring a bricklayer would cost a lot of money, but they were not given much food, so they had to use the money to buy some food.

Unexpectedly, just when a few people were hesitating, a bricklayer suddenly came to the door and said that he would build a house for them for free. He only needed to give two kilograms of grain. No matter what kind of grain, he and his gang would definitely build the house.

The solid boards are straight.

The brothers got together and discussed it. If they only paid for food, it would be much cheaper than hiring a bricklayer. In this way, they could save a lot of money. Although after building the house, they may not have much money left in their hands, and they may not even have any money left.

Money buys food to eat, but aren't there wild vegetables everywhere in the fields now? At worst, they will just eat the wild vegetables for a period of time.

As a result, the houses of the Shen brothers were built in a hurry. When Shen Jinggui saw this, he immediately went to help as long as he didn't work.

Shen Yuling saw the number of soil bricks in the yard decreasing day by day and felt a little uncomfortable, while Shen Laosi and Aunt Shen were worried but had nothing to do.

Last winter, when Shen Laosi saw some brothers making soil bricks, he discussed with them to see if they could help him make the soil bricks. After all, he had to work on the dam protection project and did not have time. And Fourth Aunt Shen couldn't do it alone. Although the brothers didn't look very good at that time, they also said that if their family made enough adobe bricks, they would help him make them.

As a result, they were going to build a house this year. When Shen Laosi asked which adobe bricks belonged to his family, the brothers actually said that if there were any adobe bricks left after building the house, they would be his. If there were no adobe bricks left, they would not be his. Already.

Shen Laosi's face turned dark at that time, he just felt that these brothers were playing tricks on him.

After all, who knows how many adobe bricks they will have left? What if there is not even one left? Isn’t this just a joke?

Fourth Shen was very angry, and the Shen brothers were actually very upset too.

After all, when the brothers, their wives and children were making adobe bricks by the water bay in the cold wind, not a single person was seen in Shen Laosi's family. Shen Laosan also once told Shen Laosi that it was okay. He asked Fourth Aunt Shen to take his older daughters to help with some digging work, but Fourth Aunt Shen sent him away with the words, "It's so cold, my wife and children are not in good health and will freeze." , Shen Laosan was very angry at that time.

The co-author is Shen Laosi’s wife and children who are afraid of the cold. How many of their brothers’ wives and children are made of steel?

So the frustrated brothers made enough adobe bricks to make three houses for each family, and then took their wives and children to the wasteland to cut reeds and make grass and felt. They were not idle for a day all winter, while they were making At this time, Shen Laosi's family had never reached out, and it was like this. They promised to give Shen Laosi the remaining soil bricks. What else do they want?

As for these, Shen Yuling didn't know anything about it. After all, even though she now has a fairly smart reputation, she is still a child, and no one will take the initiative to tell her that these are things that adults should worry about.

Days passed by, and the houses of the Shen brothers were quickly built. After another two months, it was the wheat harvest season. Some teams opened the canteen immediately after taking back the first handful of wheat, while Team 8 continued as usual. Everyone ate what they had, and after harvesting the grain and handing it over to the public, the remaining grain was immediately distributed.

In this way, people plan to eat, and every household should not go hungry.

However, God doesn’t know why. It hasn’t rained much since the wheat harvest. Occasionally, it rains lightly and stops before the ground is even wet. Even if the seeds that have been planted in the ground are finally dug out, not many seeds can be dug out. The same applies to the wild vegetables in the field. Without rain water, they don’t like to sprout out.

Fang Youshun looked worried at the dry crops in the field with their leaves rolled up.

If it doesn't rain, how will the crops grow? How can we harvest food if the crops don't grow? What will people eat if we don't harvest food?

But God seemed to confirm Fang Youshun's conjecture. As each day passed, the weather began to get drier and drier.

In spring, people can still dig some wild vegetables, but at this time, it is difficult for people to dig even some wild vegetables.

Fang Youshun saw that the situation was not good and was afraid that people would keep coming to borrow money and food in the first half of the year, so when Shen Yulin and Shen Yuxiu just went on summer vacation, they discussed with Grandma Fang whether they should learn from those things in order to save some food. Just like those who go out to eat or beg for food for their family members, they pretend to beg for food.

After all, with his small allowance, he can keep his wife and daughter alive, and it is good that the son-in-law and his family are not hungry. How can there be so much extra money, and the surplus grain is constantly borrowed from abroad? It is better to hide out under the guise of begging.

Grandma Fang was very confused when she heard his proposal.

To be honest, since arriving here, although there have been bad times, she has never faced such a situation. Her previous experience made her somewhat resistant to the life of wandering around.

But just like Fang Youshun said, in this situation, when others come to borrow money and food, it is a problem for them whether to borrow or not.
