Chapter 2 Shui Lingling got in touch
When Mo Beichen received Yang Muxi's reply, he felt inexplicably warm in his heart, and he quickly wrote back to Yang Muxi, for fear of wasting Yang Muxi's time.
"The drought here is severe. There has been drought and little rain in the past two years. The land is dry and cracked, the reservoirs and rivers have dried up, the crops have been harvested, and the food supply is insufficient."
"Comrade, can I buy food here?"
When Yang Muxi saw the reply, she felt very strange. So far, she had not heard of a drought so severe that all reservoirs and rivers had dried up. And even if there was a drought, she would not go hungry because the food supply was absolutely sufficient.
Thinking of this, Yang Muxi quickly wrote back to Mo Beichen, "Where are you? Where is the drought so severe?"
Now that artificial rainfall technology is mature, even if there is a drought, it will not last so long.
Mo Beichen replied, "I'm in Anshan City, Southeast Province."
Yang Muxi picked up his mobile phone and searched for it. The search result was "There is no southeastern province in our country", and he hurriedly asked, "What year and month is this year?"
Then a calendar full of chronology appeared in front of her.
Yang Muxi was a little surprised when she saw the year, month and day on it. She didn't expect that the person opposite was actually in the difficult period of eating grass roots and bark that her grandparents had mentioned!
What surprised her even more was that a simple trash can with no decorations allowed her to have such a smooth connection with people of that era?
Thinking of that era, Yang Muxi's heart suddenly became heavy. When she was young, her grandparents also told her about the past. Those times were so desperate. Many people had no food to eat and were waiting to die in despair. Grandpa's hair When I was young, I was dying of hunger on the threshold of my home.
Every time she heard her grandparents talk about those things, Yang Muxi couldn't help but her eyes turned red.
Now that she has encountered it, she definitely can't sit idly by. Although a person's power is small, she will do her best to help.
So Yang Muxi quickly wrote back to Mo Beichen, "I can indeed buy food here, but the price difference between the two sides may be a bit big. I don't know if you can accept it."
When he learned that Yang Muxi could help buy food, Mo Beichen seemed to see hope, his eyes were red with excitement, and he quickly replied, "I can accept it, I can accept it, but I still need you, comrade, to help me buy sweet potatoes, potatoes, radish and cabbage as much as possible." These are the cheapest foods, as long as they can fill your stomach, you don’t need to ask for more.”
Mo Beichen quickly put the reply letter into the vegetable basket, then took the box where he kept his money and put all the money in it into the vegetable basket.
If the money is gone, it is gone. The most important thing right now is food, and I will slowly save money in the future.
Yang Muxi, "Do you have anything to hold water over there? Let me see if I can pass the water to you."
Mo Beichen was so pleasantly surprised that he quickly ran into the kitchen with the vegetable basket in his arms.
"Comrade, I'm ready to pass the water." Putting the letter into the vegetable basket, Mo Beichen directly lifted the vegetable basket over the empty large water tank.
Yang Muxi took the trash can to the kitchen, put the trash can directly under the faucet, set the alarm on her phone for ten minutes, and then turned on the faucet.
After that, Yang Muxi leaned there and called the owner of the dumpling shop in the commercial street, "Boss He, it's not closed yet? Send me twenty sets of fresh meat dumplings before it's closed."
"Okay, I'll be there soon."
After hanging up the phone, Yang Muxi began to count the money Mo Beichen gave her. It was a total of eight hundred yuan, but the money was black. She had never seen such money, and she was not sure whether she could use it.
If the money cannot be used here, then she will lose 800 yuan.
After thinking about it, Yang Muxi still decided to forget it and let it be a loss. It only cost eight hundred yuan anyway. She spent more than that to rescue a stray cat. Each time she sent rice, flour, food and oil to a lonely elderly person, it cost several hundred yuan. Consider it a good deed!
Who let fate allow her to meet a pen pal from another time and space? At this time, the owner of the dumpling shop called and said that the dumplings had arrived. Yang Muxi hurried out to pick up the dumplings. Watching the boss leave on an electric car, she quickly closed the door and went back to the house.
When ten minutes came and the alarm clock rang, Yang Muxi quickly turned off the faucet.

Seeing the clear and transparent water flowing out of the vegetable basket and rushing into the large water tank, Mo Beichen's body trembled with excitement.
water!
It can really pass water!
Mo Beichen licked his dry lips. He hadn't had a big gulp of water for a long time. Every time he just took a sip to moisten his lips.
Because the water supply for a family is only one bottle per day, everyone can only save water and have no way to wash themselves.
But now that he has so much water, he can finally drink water happily.
After a while, the water stopped. Mo Beichen reached out and touched the vegetable basket. It was dry inside and didn't look like it had been filled with water at all.
It's really amazing.
Putting down the vegetable basket, he quickly filled a gourd with a gourd of water and drank it all in one gulp. This feeling of rain after a long drought was really refreshing.
These two large tanks of water should be enough for a family to use for several days if they are only used for eating and drinking.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
At this time, many boxes fell out of the vegetable basket. They were different from the white boxes containing pure milk before. They were transparent boxes, and you could clearly see the white and fat dumplings inside.
The moment he saw the dumplings, Mo Beichen's mouth was filled with sour water. Thinking that his grandparents were so old and had not eaten good food for a long time, Mo Beichen quickly sent the vegetable basket and dumplings to his room, and then I took two boxes of dumplings and poured them into the big bowl, then took the big bowl to my grandparents' room.
"Grandpa and grandma..."
When the two old men heard the sound, they woke up in a daze and saw Mo Beichen a little confused, "Beichen, why are you still up so late?"
"Grandpa and grandma, look at what this is." Mo Beichen placed two large bowls of dumplings on the table and looked at his grandparents with bright eyes.
Acid water was pouring out of his mouth crazily, but he tried hard to restrain it because he wanted the old man to eat first.
"This is...a dumpling?" Both old men looked shocked and couldn't believe it.
Are they presbyopic?
Otherwise, how could you see pure white dumplings at this time?
"Yes, they are dumplings. Grandpa and grandma, please eat them quickly!" Mo Beichen handed the chopsticks to the two old people.
"Beichen, you should eat these dumplings, we are all old..." The two old men looked at the chopsticks handed to them, swallowed, and then declined.
"Grandpa and grandma, please eat quickly! I'll think of other ways after eating." Mo Beichen knew that his grandparents wanted to save the dumplings for him to eat, so he directly put the chopsticks into their hands.
He has already asked someone to help him buy food. The days of eating one sweet potato a day will soon be over.
"Beichen, wait a minute." Grandma Mo put her chopsticks on the bowl of the sea, bent down and pulled out a box from under the bed, and said, "Beichen, take all these things out and exchange them for food!"
