Chapter 785 ?
Li Xingxing's eyes were lively, and he looked around the room a little.
There is very little furniture, just a bed, a few boxes, a few chairs and a square table. It is worn out, but there is a portrait of a great man in the middle hall on the front of the main hall, which is spotlessly wiped.
I am a little poor, and it is very clean inside and outside.
After pouring the water, Master Wang drank the wild vegetable soup in one breath and said embarrassedly: "I'm laughing."
Li Xingxing was puzzled by this, "Aren't you a retired employee? Why is life so difficult? The supply of citizens in Shanghai has not stopped, you two elders..."
Master Wang told the truth: "My parents and parents-in-law are in Liangxi, and we sent them all the food and money we saved."
Children have their own families and their lives are normal, so they can only starve to death.
"Is life very difficult?" Li Xingxing asked.
"The food for urban residents is only fifteen kilograms of rice. The two families are old and small, and there are black households inside. If they don't support them, they will starve to death. Comrade Xia sent them all the grain, oil and cloth I bought, and then exchanged fine grains for coarse grains. Finally, it took a first year." Master Wang had no choice, and he could not stand by and watch them.
Li Xingxing pursed his lips.
This is true for the urban residents of Liangxi, let alone the rural residents.
One million tons of grain appeared out of thin air, and the food donated by caring people one after another, as well as the food imported by the country in advance. The situation is still so bad?
She couldn't figure it out, she really couldn't figure it out.
Xia Mingxing often walks outside and deals with 360 walks. He knows current affairs better than his wife who lives in a family and campus. As the saying goes, those foods are still not enough for famine, far from enough, and a little better than the history he saw from the spatial information. There are only about three costs that the people who should starve to death can survive.
The remaining 70% are still hungry.
But Li Xingxing couldn't see it.
Li Xingxing felt very sad, "Brother Xiao Xia..."
Xia Mingxing patted the back of her hand and whispered to Master Wang: "I have a way to get you hundreds of kilograms of dried sweet potatoes, wheat bran, peanut cakes, and bean cakes tonight."
The old couple spoke in unison: "Really? That's a good thing."
"Really." Xia Mingxing lit up the empty bowls of the two elders, "How can you survive by eating vegetable soup? I want to ask Master Wang to carve some jade for me, but I can't do the work without the strength. I have something to say first, you must ensure that you don't mention anything to outsiders, let alone the food that we and my wife ate for you."
Master Wang understood and patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, we old couple must be as tight as a bottle! If you have any carving jobs, just leave them to me, and I will sell them to you all for the rest of my life!"
He said this and said, "Wait."
He opened a box at the end of the bed, took out a delicately carved mahogany box, and handed it to Li Xingxing: "Comrade Xia asked me to make jewelry last time, I knew that he must love his wife. This is something I used to carve for a wealthy family. If the things were not done well, their whole family died in the war, and no one left. I collected the corpse for them and took it for myself, and put it in my hands for many years. Now I can't sell it for you, so I give it to you as a thank you gift. What do you think? You are willing to help get hundreds of kilograms of grain, and I am so grateful that I may not be able to pay for a year or two, so I have to save it for a few years."
"No money, I'll give it to you for free. Just make things for us." Li Xingxing took the box and opened it. It turned out to be a Pixiu of mutton fat jade and a piece of pendant carved with scraps, bracelets, etc.
The Pixiu is carved with fine craftsmanship and appears vividly.
