Chapter 365: food scarcity
Chapter 365 The scarcity of food
The villagers clapped their hands and applauded when Liu Langzhong, a bastard, was beaten. Seeing the noisy and chaotic situation, Zhou Zhongming felt that it was nothing to watch, so he shook his head and left the chaotic situation.
Li Hexiang behind him saw Zhou Zhongming's indifferent appearance, and hated Liang Yi even more in his heart.
Zhou Zhongming walked quickly, because the man's footsteps were extremely fast, he caught up with Liang Yi and the two children, but because he was on the road, he didn't ask Liang Yi anything.
When he returned home, he put the two children to play in the courtyard, and followed Liang Yi into the room.
"What are you doing here?" Liang Yi was making the quilt for the bed, and when he saw Zhou Zhongming behind him whispering, he didn't turn his head to ask.
"Why did you agree to such harsh conditions?" Zhou Zhongming frowned slightly, looked at Liang Yi with scrutiny, and then said, "Is this too reckless? Our family really doesn't have much food, how can we live without the help from the village?" ?”
Although he said so, Zhou Zhongming knew in his heart that even if there was no food at home, according to his ability, he would definitely not starve to death.
Liang Yi smiled when he heard this, "What? You don't believe me?"
Zhou Zhongming saw Liang Yi's rare gentle smile at him, and he was no longer the same as before, but as beautiful as a peach and plum, and his face blushed inexplicably.
Seeing him like this, Liang Yi thought he was blushing in a hurry, and didn't think about other things, "Okay, don't worry. When you were with Jiang Yiqing before, I had already saved up savings for the family."
Zhou Zhongming heard Liang Yi's explanation, although he didn't believe it in his heart, he didn't refute it anymore.
Hearing Liang Yi talk about Jiang Yi, I felt that I was really sorry for Liang Yi. If Liang Yi hadn't been on guard against Jiang Yi, their family would have fallen for Jiang Yi.
Liang Yi saw that Zhou Zhongming stopped talking, and knew that Zhou Zhongming had no doubts, so he continued to smile,
"Okay, you go out. Today's business is not over, and the good show is yet to come."
Zhou Zhongming nodded, and left Liang Yi's room without staying any longer.
At night, all the villagers came to the ancestral temple with their own food according to the previous agreement.
Every family puts all the food in front of the ancestral temple. Those who have less food are secretly happy, while those who have more food feel that their family has lost money.
But they all know that they can't say anything more about this year's situation. After all, this is a matter for the whole village, and they can't hide their secrets.
The skilled and experienced people frowned when they saw the amount of grain, knowing that the grain they thought was a bumper harvest was not enough for every household except the Zhou family to survive this year.
And Lao Litou also arrived at the ancestral temple at this time, and when he saw the grain in front of the ancestral temple, his face darkened, and he announced the news to everyone, "Listen to me, everyone, these grains are not enough for this year. Have a safe new year."
The villagers seemed to be exploded when they heard this, and they talked a lot. This is indeed all their food. If they don't even have enough food, then they really can't live this year.
Seeing everyone's discussion, Lao Li could only frown and think about it.
He walked to a slightly higher place in front of the ancestral temple and stood there, then raised his hand to signal for everyone to be quiet.
When the villagers saw Lao Li raised his hand, they knew that he had a solution, and the scene gradually became quiet.
Old Li waited for the first time to calm down, and stood on the high ground and said loudly, "Don't worry, everyone, this year's food is definitely not enough according to this situation, but we have no choice, we have to overcome the past, right?"
