Chapter 1341 The Little Widow in the 4th Courtyard 68

When Zhang Yu woke up in the middle of the night, he rubbed his protesting stomach. He was really hungry.

Zhang Yu, who was too hungry to fall asleep, looked at the moonlight outside the window and sighed softly. This has been 61 years and it is also the most difficult time.

The grain harvest last year was not good, so at least everyone still had some inventory. Although it was a bit difficult, everyone persevered.

Everyone hopes that the situation will get better in the new year, but to everyone's expectation, in the new year, the situation in various places is not very good, especially in large grain-producing areas, many places have been hit by disasters.

Even though the summer harvest is coming soon, judging from the situation in the newspapers, the situation is not very good.

In this way, how can everyone not panic? What is even worse is that even the fixed monthly food supply has begun to decrease.

The previous supply was already insufficient, but everyone would go to the pigeon market to replenish their supplies. With the intake of oil and water, they could barely survive.

Now, the pigeon market is basically closed. The farmers themselves have no food, so how can they get it to the urban area for sale.

As for pork and eggs, there is a supply, but the quantity is also reduced.

Forget about reducing the quantity, the worst thing is that with these receipts in hand, there is no supply.

Some people will say that if the supply is gone, it’s okay. If you can, you can go fishing or go for a walk in the mountains.

The idea is good, but unfortunately the number of fish in the river is also declining sharply. Everyone is looking forward to fishing to improve their food.

In the past, when small fish were caught, everyone would throw them in to let the small fish grow up and reproduce.

Nowadays, any fish, no matter how big or small, is caught. After all, it is still a mouthful of meat, even if it is a fish soup.

Zhang Yu, a recognized fishing master, has actually not caught any fish for a long time.

Thanks to her putting some small fish in the space before, now she occasionally takes them out to improve the food.

In addition, I can occasionally eat dried fish to prevent my eyesight from being hungry.

Although there is not much food in Zhang Yu's space, it is enough for the three of them plus Uncle Wang to have three meals a day and be 80% full to survive the famine years.

It's just that Zhang Yu didn't dare to do this. Now everyone's faces are yellow and starving. If it is the same as before, not white and fat, but if people feel that their blood is good, people around will definitely guess, Guess how she can keep her family fed.

Although this is not an age where people cannibalize people, in this age of lack of food, everything is very possible.

Xue Fan was lying on the bed, tossing and turning. Wang Xia felt the man next to her tossing and turning, "Aren't you wasting your energy by tossing and turning if you don't sleep?"

"I can't sleep." I don't know why, but Xue Fan has been feeling all sorts of upset lately, feeling like he's missing something.

But no matter what he thought, he just couldn't think of missing anything.

"What's wrong, do you also feel that there are no leftovers in the cafeteria now?" Wang Xia rubbed her belly.

"They say there are no hungry cooks in lean years, but it turns out." When the supply dwindled, Wang Xia didn't take it seriously. She felt that no matter what happened, there would definitely be no hungry cooks, especially since they were cooks in a machinery factory.

Last year, when Wang Xia learned that grain prices were soaring, she went to the black market and sold all the grain she had. At that time, she was quite happy, buying grain at low prices and selling it at high prices.

I can earn more than 20 yuan a month, which is half a person's salary. I feel happy just thinking about it.

It's a pity that such days have changed this year. The supply of the machinery factory is also decreasing. Not to mention the leftovers, the supply of their logistics personnel is also decreasing.

If we eat at work, even if the supply of each meal is reduced, we can at least save some food at home.

Now we can only have lunch at work, which is strictly controlled.

"You said that our family's food supply has made us feel hungry. How could Zhang Yu and his family be able to persevere?" Xue Fan originally thought that this year, Zhang Yu might not be able to persevere.

Who would have thought that although Zhang Yu, mother and son look thin, they are still in good spirits.

"You want to say that she went to the black market?" Wang Xia was excited. Not many people went to the black market in the past, and the prices there were really expensive.

But now the food supply is in short supply, and there are more and more people going to the black market. Unfortunately, even if the price is high, the food supply is really very small.

"Does she have money?" Wang Xia was very confused. "She didn't use Zhao Jun's compensation money to renovate the house."

"Her monthly income is more than thirty yuan, plus the monthly subsidy of ten yuan for her two children, how much do you think she can save?" Xue Fan has actually been studying Zhang Yu and considering her monthly income and expenditure.

"Also, she went fishing last year, but she often exchanged things with others, and she didn't know how much money she could save."

"And I'm wondering if she dug up the treasure." Xue Fan has been worrying about this issue since the house next door was renovated.

"Probably not. There are so many people on the construction site. If the treasure is really dug out, there will be no movement at all." Wang Xia said with certainty.

Wang Xia has always wanted to know one thing, "Are you really sure that there is a treasure in Zhang Yu's house?"

As the children grew up, a house really had to be as crowded as possible. If Xue Fan hadn't said that there were gold, silver and jewelry next door, she would have wanted to have a good fight all the time. She obviously had a bigger house back then. .

In the end, Xue Fan insisted on this house because he heard someone say there were jewelry here. They could have gotten a better house.

It's not that the house is bigger, but there is a small area next to the house where a small room can be built, so that the living space can be at least a little more relaxed.

As for this house, if you want to expand it, don't even think about it. It's absolutely impossible. I'll report you immediately. Wang Xia will get angry just thinking about it.

Xue Fan didn't want to talk to Wang Xia. If his family hadn't been in trouble at that time, how could he marry her as his wife.

In fact, he didn't listen to what others said at all. How could he believe such hearsay.

These things were buried by his grandfather himself. Yes, his grandfather was the housekeeper of this courtyard at that time and buried them according to the old man's instructions.

The reason why it was buried in the first place was that there were too many gangsters and bad guys, so the old man came up with this idea.

As for whether there are any jewels buried like this in other places in this house, grandpa said there are, but only the owner of the house knows where they are buried.

Grandpa said that the original owner's family was very rich, but he kept a low profile. As the housekeeper, he only knew part of it.

Just that part of it was already a huge wealth. Before the army entered the city, the homeowner hurriedly left the capital and went south to the port city with a large amount of belongings.

As for grandpa, the housekeeper, the landlord used the excuse that there were many people and did not bring the old man with him, including the promised severance pay. In the end, he just ignored him and even injured grandpa.

After my grandfather recovered from his injuries, he planned to come over to dig for jewelry. He found that the house was already occupied and that it was for sale. However, he was so angry that he vomited blood and died not long after arriving home.
