The ancestral jade pendant is actually a space, so you don't need to panic when fleeing from fa

"Madam, I'm back. The price of food in town has gone up recently. The rabbit and the embroidered handkerchief sold for a total of eighty-seven cents."

Before entering the house, Yu Qingshu began to report his work to his wife.

Hua Qinglu chopped the rabbit meat into small pieces in the kitchen and kept half of it to marinate. Food was precious nowadays and he didn't dare eat it all at once.

Then I put some onions picked from the vegetable garden into the rabbit meat, and then added a little salt. There was also a handful of wild vegetables. Although the seasoning was a little less, it was still game after all, so the taste was naturally good after stewing it.

For the Yu family who had not smelled meat for a long time, rabbit meat was simply a delicacy.

I wouldn't eat the prey before, it's just because Yu Qingqing was injured that I wanted to have a meal to replenish my body.

"Husband, have you seen our son? How much food did he buy?"

Hua Qinglu’s first words were about his son. After all, he was his own flesh and blood, how could he not love him dearly?

"Yes, I left him three kilograms of brown rice. There are still seven kilograms of brown rice and half a kilogram of corn left here."

"Here, there are still two cents left, my lady, keep it. The price of brown rice and corn has increased by two cents now, and life will be difficult from now on!" Yu Qingshu said with a distressed look on his face.

"Ah? The price has gone up. Why did it go up so suddenly?" Hua Qinglu brought the rabbit meat to a small table with a missing leg and also served the vegetable porridge.

I was about to ask the children to come out for dinner, but when I heard my husband say that food prices had gone up, I felt a little panicked.

"Don't worry, I'll hunt more game later and earn more money to buy food." The crops in the fields weren't growing much, so they probably couldn't be counted on.

Yu Qingqing's family has two acres of good farmland. They reclaimed three acres of wasteland before. There are only five acres of land in total. There is a half-acre of land next to the house, where they usually grow vegetables.

"Dad, you're back. What's the situation in town now? The price of food has risen so much. Will it rise further in the future?"

Yu Qingqing was supported by Yu Qingmei and walked out. Her thin body looked like it could be blown down by the wind.

"Qing'er, walk slowly, don't be in a hurry. The price of food in town will probably go up. With the half bag of brown rice we bought this time and the rice we bought before, our family will probably be able to survive for a while.

I will tell the village chief about this news later, so that those who don’t have food can prepare some early. Otherwise, the price of food will be too high and no one can afford it, which will really starve people to death.”

"Take good care of yourself and don't worry about these things. Dad will go to the forest tomorrow to see if he can hunt some more game. The family also needs to buy some more food, and save some money for emergencies."

Yu Qingshu finished speaking in one breath. Oh! It really took so long to say so many words in a row. He quickly picked up the water in the coarse porcelain bowl, took a sip, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Husband, don't be anxious. Drink the water slowly. Eat your meal first, and then we'll talk."

Hua Qinglu quickly placed a small bowl of rabbit meat and a small bowl of thin vegetable porridge on the table. Then he scooped a small spoonful of rabbit meat into a small bowl and handed it to Yu Qingji.

"Xiao Ji, take this bowl of rabbit meat to your Aunt Mei's house next door to thank her for saving your third sister. Go and come back soon, we will be waiting for you at home."

Yu Qingji looked at the rabbit meat in front of him, his mouth constantly secreting saliva. His mouth smacked, he really wanted to eat a bite of rabbit meat, it smelled so delicious.

"You little greedy cat, don't steal food. Otherwise I'll spank you."

Yu Qingmei looked at her little foodie brother, his eyes fixed on the rabbit meat in the bowl, and he didn't answer her mother's question. She felt funny in her heart, the little guy was really about to cry because of greed.

Yu Qingmei patted Yu Qingji's little head with her hand, and she couldn't help but feel the urge to hold her forehead.

"Mother, I know I won't eat secretly. You and second sister can rest assured." After being slapped by his second sister, the little foodie Yu Qingji finally came back to his senses.

I felt sad. It was really embarrassing. I was staring at a bowl of rabbit meat.

Yu Qingji carefully carried the rabbit meat and walked towards Aunt Mei's house next door.

"Aunt Mei, are you home? Open the door." Yu Qingji's childish voice sounded outside the door.

With his chicken claw-like little hands, he stood on tiptoe and knocked on a wooden door with several small holes on it.

"Pah! Pah! Pah!" After a few sounds, the door was finally opened by a little girl of about seven or eight years old.

This little girl is Aunt Mei's youngest daughter, Lin Xiaomei, who is eight years old this year. She has two pigtails on her head, and although her face is not very plump, her facial features are still pretty.

He was wearing a green linen shirt and looked relatively clean.

"Wow, what a nice smell!" The little girl forgot why she opened the door and only remembered that she smelled the aroma of meat.

"Here you go, my mother asked me to give this to you, to thank your mother for saving my third sister."

Yu Qingji handed the bowl over reluctantly, as he also wanted to go back and eat meat early.

"Oh, that's too polite. I didn't do anything. It's no big deal to help Qingqing girl."

The person who said this was Aunt Mei. At this time, Aunt Mei heard the noise and came to the door.

I saw a woman with a rag tied on her head and wearing a half-worn skirt coming out.

Looking at the bowl of meat in front of her, she swallowed hard. She knew that Yu Qinghai often went hunting, but she also saw that he basically sold the meat and rarely ate it himself.

"Aunt Mei, you're too polite. Our whole family is very grateful to you for saving my sister. Mom said that we will come together to thank you after my sister gets better."

Yu Qingji scratched his head embarrassedly. These words were taught by his mother and he could not have thought of them himself.

Aunt Mei married here from the next village, she is 30 years old this year. The girl just now is her youngest daughter, and she has an older son who is 14 years old this year, named Lin Xiaohao.

Aunt Mei's husband is Lin Zhiwei, who is 35 years old. He usually does some carpentry work at home, and can also sell the money to maintain a basic life.

Lin Zhiwei got married relatively late because his family was relatively poor. There were also many bachelors in the village who could not get married due to lack of money and other reasons.

The village spirit of Shuihe Village is relatively better than that of other villages. The village chief He Qiang is a relatively upright person, and he is also very good at dealing with people. He is a rare good person.

The village chief usually takes care of all matters in the village. He treats the villagers like his family members, and the villagers respect him very much.

Aunt Mei is a kind-hearted person and would not easily take advantage of others, so Yu Qingji's family gave her a bowl of meat.

She was also very grateful in her heart, at a time when it was difficult to even have enough food. Meat was such a precious thing that few people were willing to buy to eat.

"Okay, thank you Xiao Ji, and thank your mother for me. As for the bowls, I'll ask Xiao Mei to bring them to you later. We don't have any good bowls at home."
