Chapter 79 Ten pounds of wild vegetables for half a pound of rice
Listening to the powerful middle-aged male voice on the radio, the family looked at each other.
The three shelters are near Jiangcheng. Liang Yingsheng remembers that other provinces also have large and small shelters, but Jiangcheng was the first to be built and announced.
Zhou Lan was a little moved, "Shengsheng, why not follow the country instead of staying here? We have enough supplies. It will be safer to go to the shelter as long as we are careful."
After all, it was built by the military, and there must be many soldiers protecting the shelter.
I don't know how much safer it is than a small organization formed by ordinary people like them.
"Both have advantages and disadvantages. There is a complete management system for going to official shelters, but they are crowded and chaotic. Depending on the amount of supplies an individual turns in, the living environment is also divided into three, six or nine levels."
Zhou Lanxin was surprised, "Do you still have to hand in supplies?"
"If you want the official distribution of shelter, you will need supplies, which is equivalent to renting a house. Of course, you can live in a greenhouse area without paying for supplies."
Based on the experience of the simulator, Liang Yingsheng patiently explained: "Gu Ming thought, the government only built a simple rain shelter, and refugees who could not afford the supplies went to live there. It was very confusing, and if you were not careful, it would be stolen and your whole family would be ruined."
.”
Liang Qiuwen is kind, which is why he was always able to squeeze him easily in the past.
Zhou Lanxin snorted coldly and didn't want to answer.
"You, I am your aunt after all, how can you, a child, talk?"
The relief food is a pot of water with some chopped wild vegetables and rice bran, one meal a day.
Once, they were lucky enough to catch two stray dogs.
It's hot, it's in front of everyone, and it can't be put into the space, so I have to lift it myself.
Liu Shuhui hurriedly pulled her daughter behind her, "Don't worry, please. We really just want some food. Can you lend it to us?"
Liang Qiuwen was quite polite and said, "Go to Aunt Chen's house ahead to play for a while."
With a curl of his lips, Liang Yingsheng mocked: "Why do you think the value of wild vegetables can be compared with rice? Ten pounds of wild vegetables are exchanged for half a pound of rice. One hand delivers vegetables and the other hand rice, do you want to exchange it?"
Another crop of crops has been harvested in the space. Fresh vegetables that are growing well are stored in the newly built warehouse, and those that are growing in average are used to feed the poultry.
Liang Yingsheng said he didn't want to go with the troops once to get some water.
She forced herself to lower her posture: "Lend us a pound of rice, and we will go up to the mountain to dig wild vegetables tomorrow and pay you back?"
Not hungry to death and not full to eat, she really couldn't understand how those people persisted.
Liu Shuhui was mean-mouthed and had a quarrel with Grandma Chen's daughter-in-law.
There are two ewes, one of which is also pregnant and has a very big belly.
Xu Shiliang Yingsheng's intimidation was in place, and the new group of people were quite peaceful. They followed the grain station building and learned to leave early and return late every day, either going to the reservoir to fetch water or going up the mountain to find enough food.
Liang Yingsheng got straight to the point: "Tell me, what do you want from my parents?"
Seeing the energetic family with happy smiles on their faces, Liu Shuhui's eyes flashed with jealousy, "Hey, my second brother and sister, where are your family going?"
She felt uncomfortable even if she didn't eat meat for three days, let alone for many years.
Liang Yingsheng said firmly, but now is not the time.
It's a pity that Liang Qiuhan forgot that people will change.
Zhou Lanxin glanced at her husband and son, her eyes showing shock.
She remembered that in the simulator, when a large secure base was built in the later stages, people would work in exchange for what they wanted. Doctors and technicians would stay at the base to work. Those who did not have such skills but were willing to go out to look for supplies could join the scavenging team to find the supplies.
You can get an extra portion for yourself.
The pregnant sow had given birth to two piglets, which were raised by Liang Qiuwen until they were fat and white.
The dog's physique is similar to the family's golden retriever Yuanbao, but it is very thin.
Liang Qiuhan and Liu Shuhui are not in good condition either. They have not seen white hair for a few days and both seem to have a lot more hair.
Liang Yingsheng took out his riding whip and said, "What, don't say we don't have food at home, even if we do, why should we give it to you? Yes, yes, one eyeball can be exchanged for a piece of salted fish, do you want to exchange it?"
Zhou Lanxin replied angrily: "I may not be happy to see you."
When she got home, she was soaked all over and immediately chose to lay it out.
Liang Min's face turned pale, "You... Liang Yingsheng, how dare you!"
There are also some who would rather live in shantytowns than go out and take risks and survive on state relief food.
Liu Shuhui's smile froze slightly, "Ahem, your little courtyard is pretty good. The walls are so high, who are you guarding against?"
Especially now that it's the end of the world.
The family had lunch early and were going to play mahjong at Grandma Chen's house. As soon as they left the house, they saw Liang Qiuhan, Liu Shuhui and Liang Min walking towards them.
Liang Yingsheng couldn't help but said: "Isn't it just to guard against you?"
"Do you think I dare?"
Although there are no zombies in Youai Town, life is not easy. Liang Min no longer wears her beautiful dress, and her hair is tied back in a mess.
If she hadn't come here with a request this time, she wouldn't want to give this family a good look.
Although it is the end of the world, life is getting better and better.
The face is extremely thin.
Liang Yingsheng was sitting in front of the wooden house playing with the dog. He looked at his parents and brother who were strengthening the sheepfold and couldn't help but laugh.
However, Liang Min couldn't help it anymore and pointed at Liang Yingsheng and Liang Zhimo, "Who are you lying to? These two people are so white and tender that they are not hungry at first glance. Second uncle, can you find a better reason for lying to others?"
Because of this incident, Zhou Lanxin never let Yuan Bao leave the space again, for fear of being discovered and tricked into killing Bao Tang.
Pushing up the frames of his glasses, Liang Qiuwen was unusually indifferent: "Our family goes up to the mountains day and night to dig wild vegetables and yams to barely make ends meet. Are you hungry and we are not hungry? If you want to eat, you can go dig it in the mountains yourself. I don't have any."
Liu Shuhui's smile was hypocritical.
The group was so happy that they stewed dog meat soup that night.
In early September, the temperature finally dropped from more than 40 degrees to more than 30 degrees. Liang Yingsheng had a vague feeling that next summer would be even worse.
"It's been so long since we moved to Youai Town that we haven't visited Aunt Chen. How about we go together?"
Liu Shuhui looked at Liang Qiuhan.
Liang Qiuhan rubbed his hands and said, "Qiuwen, our family's food reserves have all been used up. See if you can give us some food. I am your eldest brother after all. You can't bear to see our family starve to death."
?”
"But we will go to Jiangcheng."
"Of course, people who have no ability to protect themselves would rather live there than wander outside."
Liang Qiuhan's face was livid, "Liang Yingsheng, don't open your mouth like a lion!"
"I'm just like a lion, why don't you come and bite me if you can?"
Liang Qiuhan pointed at Liang Yingsheng with a trembling finger, and then looked at Liang Qiuwen, "Second brother, you don't care, is this the good daughter you trained?"
"She is indeed a good daughter. Let's go. Grandma Chen and the others are still waiting."
