Traveling through the famine years with the system to raise cubs

As the sun set in the west, the sky was ablaze with fiery clouds.

"With this kind of weather, I'm afraid there will be another clear sky tomorrow!" On the way back, Jiang Ling looked at the peasants kneeling in the wheat fields and kowtowed to the sky, and couldn't help but sighed helplessly.

"Mother! Big brother is amazing. Big brother brought these back by himself!" Jiang Ling just pushed open the wooden door of the old house, and Jiang Suhe and Jiang Wenxi greeted him. Jiang Wenxi pointed to a corner of the old house and said.

Jiang Ling heard the words and looked around, and saw a lot of firewood and hay neatly stacked in a corner of the old house.Jiang Ling walked to Jiang Yaojie's side with a smile and said to him, "Thank you Yaojie for your hard work!"

After Jiang Yaojie heard Jiang Ling's praise, he was slightly taken aback. This was the first time he heard such words after living in Lujiacun for so many years. He whispered a little uncomfortable: "It's nothing."

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Yaojie walked towards the pile of firewood. He walked to the center of the yard with some firewood and hay in his arms. After skillfully igniting them, he took out three sweet potatoes from the corner and put them on the pile of firewood. inside.

After a while, the unique sweet smell of sweet potatoes came from the fire. Jiang Yaojie took a wooden stick, pulled the sweet potatoes out of the fire, and placed them in front of Jiang Ling, mother and daughter.

Jiang Ling was a little strange, she looked at Jiang Yaojie and said, "Yaojie, why don't you eat?"

"I'm not hungry. Eat with your sister!" Jiang Yaojie said with his head down.

Jiang Ling looked at Jiang Yaojie's swallowing saliva secretly and didn't intend to poke him, but just broke off more than half of her sweet potato and put it in Jiang Yaojie's hand, saying: "Yaojie, we are a family, we have to eat together, unless……"

Speaking of this, Jiang Ling suggested that he paused and said with a heavy tone: "Unless, you don't want to recognize my mother and my two younger sisters!"

"I didn't!" Jiang Yaojie replied with clenched fists and blushing face.

"Okay, since you said you didn't have any! Then you have to eat this half piece of sweet potato! If you don't eat it..." Speaking of this, Jiang Ling's eyes fell on Jiang Suhe and Jiang Wenxi.

"Suihe, Wenxi, you two remember, in the future, if your elder brother doesn't eat, neither of you is allowed to eat!" Jiang Ling said with a serious expression.

After hearing this, Jiang Suhe and Jiang Wenxi obediently put the sweet potatoes aside, and looked at Jiang Yaojie with watery eyes.

Jiang Yaojie was silent for a long time before he let go of his clenched fist, took half of the sweet potato from Jiang Ling's hand and stuffed it into his mouth.

After dinner, Jiang Ling said to Jiang Yaojie: "Go to bed early, I have to accompany my mother to the town tomorrow morning!"

Jiang Yaojie nodded and walked into the hut, Jiang Ling also returned to his room with his two daughters.

Maybe it was because he didn't rest well yesterday, or maybe he was a little tired from working today, Jiang Ling slept very deeply that night.

Just after dawn, Jiang Ling opened his eyes, thinking about going to Changning Town today, got out of bed quickly, and just opened the door, and found that Jiang Yaojie was already standing at the door.

"Yaojie, aren't you sleepy after waking up so early?" Jiang Ling asked quickly.

"Not sleepy, it's almost midnight now, let's go for a while, Lu Bo's ox cart should go!" Jiang Yaojie shook his head and walked towards the gate.

The two soon arrived at the entrance of the village and got into Lu Bo's ox cart.

From Lujia Village to Changning Town, even by car, it would take at least half an hour, and the people in the car started chatting about family affairs after a while.

Jiang Ling didn't want to get involved in these topics, but Aunt Wang De next to her suddenly moved towards Jiang Ling and whispered gossipingly, "Jiang Shi, I heard that you beat your mother-in-law?"

After Jiang Ling heard Aunt Wang De's words, she felt a little helpless, especially if she couldn't say anything about such an embarrassing topic, she simply lowered her head and closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep to prevaricate.

Jiang Ling's silence made Aunt Wangde a little embarrassed. She stared blankly at Jiang Ling for a long time and gave Jiang Ling a blank look.

Although Jiang Ling was a little annoyed when she heard it, she continued to close her eyes and said nothing. Jiang Ling knew very well in her heart that these disputes would not benefit her at all.

The ox cart drove slowly to the gate of Changning Town, and Jiang Ling and Jiang Yaojie got out of the cart first.

Jiang Ling walked to the door of the pawnshop, glanced at Jiang Yaojie beside him and said, "Yaojie, you must be hungry early in the morning. Go to the wonton stall in front and ask for two bowls of wonton. Mother will come find you in a while!"

Jiang Yaojie opened his mouth and said nothing in the end, just nodded and walked towards the wonton stand.

While Jiang Yaojie was going to the wonton stall, Jiang Ling quickly hid in a deserted alley, opened the mall system, glanced at the copper plate, and tapped it with his hand.

With a "crash", Jiang Ling's pocket sank, and a large handful of copper coins appeared in Jiang Ling's pocket. Jiang Ling looked around and walked out quickly after confirming that there was no one in the alley.

This was Jiang Yaojie's first visit to Changning Town. He looked at the steamed wonton stand in front of him, hesitated a while before choosing the most remote table and sat down.

As soon as he sat down, the proprietress came over and asked him what he wanted to eat. Jiang Yaojie, who was already reserved, became even more nervous. He rubbed the corners of his clothes unnaturally with his hands as if sitting on pins and needles, and looked at him from time to time. look in the direction of time.

Knowing that Jiang Ling's figure slowly appeared in his eyes, he was relieved.

"Why don't you want wontons? Didn't I tell you that you want two bowls of wontons first?" Jiang Ling asked softly, looking at the empty table.

"No...no...just...just that I think one bowl is enough..." Jiang Ling could barely hear Jiang Yaojie's voice at the end.

As the saying goes, half a child eats me to death, and Jiang Yaojie is just at the age when he can eat it. Last night, the half piece of sweet potato was Jiang Yaojie, even Jiang Ling felt a little hungry when he woke up in the morning.

Thinking that Jiang Ling ignored Jiang Yaojie, she smiled and said to the owner of the wonton stall, "Sister-in-law, bring me two bowls of wontons, one big and one small!"

"Okay!" Seeing that there was a business coming, the proprietress immediately returned to the wonton stand with a smile on her face and started cooking wontons quickly.

Soon steaming hot wontons appeared on the table, and Jiang Ling pushed the big bowl in front of Jiang Yaojie and said with a straight face, "Why are you still not moving your chopsticks? Could it be that I will feed you?"

"No! No...no..." Jiang Yaojie picked up a spoon in a panic and began to eat the steaming wonton.

Jiang Ling watched Jiang Yaojie's actions with satisfaction, and ate wontons without haste.

"How much are two bowls of wontons, lady boss?" Jiang Ling asked after eating the wontons.

"Two bowls cost fifteen cents!"

Jiang Ling didn't feel anything, and quickly took out fifteen copper coins from his pocket and put them on the table, but Jiang Yaojie who was on the side was secretly speechless when he heard the price.

For fifteen copper coins, he vaguely remembered that he could buy at least five catties of brown rice at the rice shop in the town. If a family of four saved some rations, five catties of brown rice could last at least five or six days.

Although he didn't know how much money Jiang Ling had pawned in the pawnshop, he felt even more depressed when he thought of the food rations he had eaten for so many days.The head drooped even more.

Jiang Ling noticed that something was wrong with Jiang Yaojie beside her. At first she thought that Jiang Yaojie was not full, so she quickly comforted him: "Yaojie, are you not full? After we finish shopping, I will buy you steamed stuffed buns!"

Jiang Yaojie shook his head like a rattle when he heard it, "No, no, the wonton just now is already full!"

Jiang Ling was a little strange, but didn't continue to ask. Jiang Ling and Jiang Yaojie came to the rice shop together, and Jiang Ling couldn't help being surprised by the price written on the rice shop.

The brown rice here was actually sold for ten copper coins a catty, and the price of the white rice was even more frightening, it had soared to fifty copper coins a catty.

The flour shop next to it was not much better, and the price of even the roughest soba noodles was eight copper coins a catty.

Jiang Ling silently took out ten copper coins from his pocket and put them in Jiang Yaojie's hands, saying, "Yaojie, go to the grocery store at the end of the street to buy some salt!"

Jiang Yaojie carefully took the ten copper coins and walked towards the grocery store at the end of the street.

Jiang Ling also quickly got into the alley and opened the mall page to check the prices inside.
