Chapter 3100 Filling the Belly (Third Update)
The atmosphere in the entire village suddenly collapsed. Everyone was frightened and looked anxious.
As long as we get together, we are talking about this matter.
Moreover, from the day the locusts were discovered, smoke curled up in the village when they usually cooked dinner.
Nowadays, there is almost no smoke, and more than half of the families have stopped cooking dinner. It has just darkened, and the whole family drinks water, fills their stomachs and goes to bed.
Even if some people are cooking dinner for the night, they still count the grains of rice and put them into the pot to make porridge.
At the entrance of the village, Ms. Sun was cooking porridge in the backyard kitchen.
When Yang Ruoqing came over, she saw the porridge being stirred in the small pot outside, and the vegetable leaves were also stirring together.
Sun picked up the rapeseed oil, carefully put a spoonful of rapeseed oil into the pot, and then added a spoonful of salt flowers.
"Mom, why are you eating these at night? You don't even care about how full you are!" Yang Ruoqing said.
Sun said: "The great famine is coming soon. From now on, we have to count on food. We can no longer eat white rice at night as we did in the past."
Yang Ruoqing couldn't laugh or cry, "Our family is full of regular People who eat have to eat these Xishui-like things at night. Who can bear it? "
"Besides, there is still a lot of food in the warehouse. Let's cook, Xiao An is growing up! "She said again.
Sun said: "Maybe there won't be even half a grain of grain this year. There seems to be a lot of rice and wheat flour in the warehouse, and I'm about to sit back and eat all the food. How fast."
" What's more, just follow the way As is customary in the New Year, all the food is not reserved for our family. It is sent to the restaurants in the town. If the food is gone, the restaurants will go out of business. No, no, let’s eat porridge!”
Sun's calculation made Yang Ruoqing both moved and dumbfounded.
Because Mrs. Sun then said: "I have discussed it with Xiaohua Xiaoduo, and the three of us will go outside to dig wild vegetables early tomorrow morning."
"We eat wild vegetables every day. Finished wild vegetables and vegetables from the vegetable garden, either pickled , or fish it out and put it away after dehydration. It will be good to satisfy your hunger then, at least you won’t starve to death!”
“Mother, my dear mother, you really know how to plan!” Yang Ruoqing said, He came forward and held Sun's hand, looking into Sun's eyes.
“Even if the locust plague eats up this season’s rice, even if there are no grains this year, you still have to believe in your daughter, your son, and your son-in-law,”
"With the three of us here, we can't make you hungry no matter what."
"Since we cooked porridge tonight, let me not cook the rice. I will scoop out two bowls of wheat flour and we will make chopped green onions." Eat egg pancakes, no matter how long the night is, you have to fill your stomach."
Yang Ruoqing rolled up her sleeves and kneaded the dough, cracked eggs, chopped green onions, and put on egg pancakes.
Sun stood aside and couldn't bear to stop her. She just kept saying: "Qing'er, please stop posting a few. I don't want to eat at night, so you guys can eat. I eat too much at night and it's uncomfortable to sleep." .”
Yang Ruoqing’s head was covered with black lines.
Which night did your mother not have dinner some time ago?
Due to the busy farming schedule, everyone has to do strenuous work during the day. The lunch at noon is a bit hurried because we have to rush to work in the afternoon to connect the past and the future.
So when work was over in the evening, the meal at night was even more grand, with rice and vegetables cooking, a table full of food, and my mother also ate. It was easy to sleep then, so why can’t it be difficult to sleep now?
Before Yang Ruoqing had time to speak, Xiaohua, who was helping to stuff firewood at the stove, also spoke up: "Sister, I feel like I have gained weight recently. I have to lose weight. Otherwise, if Da'an doesn't like it, you can give me my share." Mom eats it, I won’t eat it.”
Yang Ruoqingwu. He rolled his eyes in frustration and said, "You two are not allowed to push. Everyone has a piece of cake, and everyone must eat it. Don't say anything about not eating or not eating." "If you don't eat, you will get a stomachache from hunger. When the time comes to see a doctor and take medicine for free, people will still have to suffer a lot, it’s not cost-effective!” Yang Ruoqing said.
Xiaohua smiled sheepishly and said: "Sister, I plan to lose weight. Really, brother Da'an is so handsome. If I look like a fat pig standing next to him, let alone him. It's annoying to me, so I won't eat it at night."
Yang Ruoqing lowered her face and said, "Why are you talking nonsense again? If you like someone, you have to like her. All,”
< br>"No matter whether he is thin or fat, if you like him, then you really like him."
"Besides, our Da'an is not that kind of person. If he is that kind of person, then the capital city will not be able to grow up." There are so many beautiful ladies in Huaizhou and Qing'an County who have expressed their love for him, but Da'an can stick to his heart and only care about you, little flower. Why do you want to lose weight? Really!"
Xiaohua's face turned red with embarrassment, and she quickly sat back and fell silent.
In my heart, it is sweet.
Here, Yang Ruoqing said to Mrs. Sun again: "Mom, I baked a lot of these cakes. You can send some to my aunt and the others later."
"If I didn't guess, That’s right, most of them will be cooking porridge tonight.”
Ms. Sun nodded.
Yang Ruoqing first baked six soft scallion egg pancakes and put them in two large bowls. The four in one bowl were given to Da Sun and the others.
There is also a bowl with two in it, which are given to Old Mrs. Sun and Old Sun Tou.
Sun sent it off and came back soon.
He said to Yang Ruoqing: "Qing'er, you guessed it right. Your aunt and her friends also drink vegetable porridge at night. The vegetable porridge is thinner than ours. Look, I'm sending you cakes. Xiaojie is so happy.”
Yang Ruoqing also laughed, "I am a half-year-old who is poor. Although Xiaojie is a girl, she is twelve or thirteen years old when she is most likely to be hungry. She cannot afford to lose. By then, she will be like the crops that cannot grow." OK.”
When the word "crops" was mentioned, Sun's face turned gray.
“Hey, I don’t know what’s going on this year. There’s drought in the north, heavy rain in the south, and there’s an insect infestation here again. Who is God going to punish?”
The speaker has no intention. , the listener has a heart.
Yang Ruoqing's brows also frowned slightly.
Natural disasters are inevitable regardless of time, space or dynasty.
No matter how advanced your technology is, natural disasters can never be prevented. Otherwise, China would not have suffered earthquakes and mudslide disasters that shocked China and the world.
In the face of natural disasters, human power is small.
It is precisely because of our insignificance that people fear God.
God is angry, so I go back and ask myself, did I do something wrong that angered God and punished me?
Similarly, in the face of frequent disasters in the south, north, and central part of Daqi, if someone with a deliberate intention takes this opportunity to spread rumors, will it cause panic and chaos?
"Qing'er, what are you thinking about? Let's eat cake!" When Sun's voice reached her ears, Yang Ruoqing realized that she was distracted.
"Well, okay." Yang Ruoqing smiled, first took a piece of cake and handed it to Sun, and then took another piece to Xiaohua.
