Chapter 25 The last wishes of the unfortunate father and daughter in the 60s 4
Old Shen's family actually still has a lot of food, but there are so many people in the family that if you calculate the food per person, they won't be able to eat it for long.
The group of people who came to steal the grain did not steal it all and left some for the Shen family.
After they left, Gu Laoliu and Chang'an also came out of the room stealthily.
Old Mrs. Shen took away 360 yuan and various tickets from the original owner, Mr. Shen, and Old Gu was going to take them back.
The money and tickets were placed in the room of Old Lady Shen and Old Man Shen. Except for Old Six and his daughter, all the other members of the Shen family fell into a deep sleep due to Old Six's sleeping spell, and they would not wake up until tomorrow morning.
The father and daughter came to the main room unscrupulously. Old Mrs. Shen's money was hidden in a dark corner under the bed. There was a hole dug inside and a small clay jar was placed in it, covered with a thin layer of soil.
"Dad, actually we don't have to come here to dig it ourselves."
"...forgot to bother", luckily he hadn't crawled under the bed yet.
Chang'an used his mind to collect the money and bills in the small earthenware jar. There was also a large solid gold bracelet in it, which he also put into the space. These all belonged to Shen Laosi.
They didn't touch anything else, but thinking that they might be asked to leave the house, they took inventory of Mrs. Shen's other assets.
Thanks to Shen Mingbao, the Shen family's savings have exceeded 1,000 yuan, which is considered quite wealthy in Qinghe Brigade, as most people's savings are less than 100 yuan.
There was 1,400 yuan in cash, five cloth coupons, one industrial coupon, and three meat coupons.
"Girl, do you want to take them all?"
According to Gu Laoliu's idea, it would be like taking advantage of a passing goose, but he still habitually sought Chang'an's opinion.
"Just take the fourth room's share. Although the Shen family won't starve to death with Shen Mingbao around, we still have to be prepared for the worst. We have put an anti-attack talisman on her, and we don't know how long her good luck can last. We still have to save money for them to buy food."
"Old Fourth Shen never said he wanted to kill his parents. Besides, the famine will not end so soon. We are trying to earn merit, so we must not become more immoral."
Chang'an didn't take their money, but she put all the malted milk, peach cakes and fruit candies in Old Lady Shen's room into her space.
You can’t even get enough to eat, so why buy so many snacks? Are you going to eat them as meals?
"Okay then," Gu Laoliu counted out 280 yuan and gave it to Chang'an. He also took all the tickets and only left the money for the Shen family.
In the plot, in the second year after the famine ends, Old Mrs. Shen will take out money to buy jobs for her eldest grandson and second grandson in the city, and the Shen family will also split up because of this.
The two jobs almost drained the Shen family's assets. The second son of Shen also had two sons, but they didn't make any money, so he started to make a fuss in anger.
The third branch was even angrier, because all the money of the Shen family was earned by Shen Mingbao in the hunt, but in the end, the third branch didn't get any benefit at all.
The old lady completely regarded the third branch as the enemy, and was so angry that she took the initiative to propose a separation.
Old Man Shen and Old Lady Shen were afraid of Shen Mingbao's strange luck, so they dared not say anything and agreed.
The father and daughter returned to the room. Chang'an thought for a while and said, "Dad, the food in our space is piled up like a mountain. Why don't we let Dayi and the others take it to the black market and sell it at a low price? It can be considered as helping the poor people here."
Famine years may be a punishment for those who falsely report production and waste food.
The food in her space can be put into the market to alleviate the disaster, but it cannot be delivered.
Not everyone knows how to cherish food. Some people may not cherish food even in years of disaster.
Some people think that since someone will give it to you for free, you don’t have to spend money to buy it, and you can always get one if it’s sold out.
Only when you spend money to buy it can you get attention.
Gu Laoliu had no objection. He supported his daughter in whatever she did, as long as it didn't cost him money.
"Then let the freshmen do it. This can be considered as accumulating merit."
When the seven freshmen in the space heard Chang'an's words, they immediately used their Qiankun bags to fill up the food from the warehouse, and used their space rings to fill up the vegetables before leaving the space.
They left Qinghe Brigade overnight. The freshmen and sophomores and the first and second years of high school stayed in the town, while the third and third years of high school and the fourth year went to the county town.
Chang'an seemed to have thought of something and suddenly jumped up from the bed, "Dad, these days you need a letter of introduction to go out."
"My daughter, do you want to scare your father to death?" Gu Laoliu patted his chest to calm himself.
He said indifferently: "It doesn't matter. It won't affect their freshman year whether they have a letter of introduction or not."
When something happens, they hide their aura, so no one can notice them even in a crowd.
Since nothing is wrong, let's go to bed. It's already two o'clock in the morning.
At dawn in the morning, I was awakened by screams.
The men in Old Shen's family heard the shouts and hurried out of their rooms. Old Shen asked loudly before he even left the room: "What's going on?"
Only Chang'an and Gu Laoliu did not come out. They turned over in their small broken beds and continued to sleep. What else could they do? The food was stolen.
Old Shen's family's food was kept in a locked cabinet in the kitchen. There was also a lock on the kitchen door, which has now been pried open.
The food that was originally enough for a family to eat for ten days or half a month now only lasts for two days.
"Damn thief!" Old Mrs. Shen wailed and fainted.
"Mother, mother"
"old lady"
There was a flurry of activity outside.
The Shen family's movements once again alarmed the neighbors, but this time they did not come to watch.
When I heard the word "thief", I knew it was best not to eat the melon. Having been neighbors for nearly twenty years, I had some understanding of the old man and the old lady of the Shen family.
If they go over now, they will definitely be framed by Old Lady Shen, and they will end up getting into trouble before they get to eat the melon.
The grain was stolen, and the Shen family thought it was done by someone from the same village, so Boss Shen immediately ran to find the team leader.
However, the team leader retorted, "It's no use looking for me. I don't know who stole your food."
Other families have two meals a day, and they are only three-quarters full and barely avoid starvation. But your Shen family has three meals a day, and they can still eat half full.
Your family is the only one in the village that can have food to eat, yet you still don’t know how to keep a low profile. If I don’t steal from you, who else would I steal from?
The captain didn't give Boss Gu a chance to speak. He slammed the yard door shut and turned back to the house.
Boss Shen went home dejectedly. Old Mrs. Shen had already woken up. When she heard Boss Shen say that the captain didn't care, she almost fainted from anger.
The eggs that Shen Mingbao had to eat every morning were gone. The thief only left some sweet potatoes, potatoes, and some corn flour for their family.
Rice, flour, eggs, and corn kernels were all taken away.
This made Shen Mingbao very angry. Hearing that the captain didn't care, the malice in his heart was released towards the captain's home.
As a result, his malice backfired and he fell face down on the ground. Fortunately, his luck helped him to block it and he was not injured.
Mrs. Shen was startled and hurriedly helped him up to check, "Mingbao, are you hurt?"
"Mom, I'm fine." I just accidentally tripped over my right foot with my left foot, but I wasn't hurt.
The grain was stolen, but they couldn't find the thief, and it was impossible for them to look for him door to door. Without any evidence, they could only accept the blame.
Old Mrs. Shen ran to the door of her house and cursed, "Thieves who stole my Shen's food will be punished. Your mouths and stomachs will rot if you eat my Shen's food."
"You wicked creatures, be careful or you won't survive this famine."
Chang'an was woken up and couldn't fall asleep again, "Dad, it's so noisy here, let's move out quickly."
"Okay, let's solve this problem today."
