Escape from famine: Daddy stands up, Dali girl lies down

The sun was setting as the father and daughter waited in the woods outside the town for the delivery.

It was hot and stuffy in the bare grove, with mosquitoes flying around. In just a short while, the two men had their heads covered with bites.

The horse-drawn carriages from the four shops delivered the goods one after another, and Lin Shu stored the unloaded goods into the small space building one by one.

"Gu~lu~"

"Gu~lu~"

Two stomach rumbling sounds were heard at the same time. The father and daughter were so busy that they completely forgot about lunch.

Lin Shu rubbed her empty belly, wondering why she didn't buy some snacks and buns!

She took out two pieces of rock sugar from the space and used one for each of them as a temporary cushion.

"Shu'er, it's getting late. We have to go home quickly."

Lin Erzhuang was a little worried about his family and wanted to fly back immediately.

"Go home!" Lin Shu said while sitting in the backpack.

My mind sank into space and I took a look at the bare field. Two half-grown piglets were turning the soil in the field.

The wild vegetables thrown into the space were eaten up by the two idiots.

Lin Shu confined the two pigs in this field and poured half a bag of wheat bran and a basin of corn kernels into it.

My consciousness drifted into the two-story building, where the water, electricity and gas were in normal condition.

The collected supplies were neatly placed in the empty room downstairs.

There are still 1,500 kilograms of rice, 800 kilograms of corn, 1,000 kilograms of wheat, and 100 kilograms each of soybeans, peanuts, mung beans, and red beans in the granary.

The remaining seeds after spring sowing include two kilograms each of rice, corn, wheat, cotton, sorghum, and millet, and fifty kilograms of high-quality grass seeds.

Then he found ten small packets of seeds, including cabbage, cucumber, green beans, tomatoes, eggplants, radishes, coriander, green onions, peppers, and watermelons.

Lin Shu heaved a long sigh. With these seeds and the space well, she was not afraid of any long famine.

Lin Shu felt more at ease after sowing the seeds that could be planted into the ground one by one and spreading grass seeds on the edge of the farm to raise poultry.

Only then did he have time to wander into the kitchen and open the large double-door refrigerator.

Before coming here, she had just restocked her stock.

Because I live in the countryside, it is not very convenient to buy things, so I buy in large quantities at a time.

One piece each of oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, sugar and MSG, two pieces of noodles, and two pieces of braised beef noodles.

She made the chili peppers and kimchi herself, with two large jars of each.

Twenty pounds each of beef, pork, and mutton, and five large packages each of instant steamed buns, dumplings, and glutinous rice balls.

The refrigerator, which is over 600 liters, is filled to the brim with yogurt, ice cream, drinks, beer, milk, grapes, loquats, strawberries and a basket of eggs.

Seeing the food in the refrigerator, Lin Shu's stomach started to rebel again.

She couldn't wait to take out a bottle of yogurt and devour it, and then steamed a bag of steamed buns.

There were still five or six sweet potatoes, potatoes, a handful of sprouted garlic and two pieces of sprouted ginger left in the vegetable basket.

Seeing this, he hurriedly planted these things in the vegetable garden.

Then he took an apple, a loquat, and a strawberry, took out the seeds inside, and planted them.

Nowadays, every crop that can be grown is a rarity in her eyes, and it also lays the foundation for her future easy-to-live life.

Believe that a single spark can start a prairie fire.

Lin Shu glanced at the fog in the distance. Behind it were the farm and orchard that she had worked so hard to manage.

Seeing that the harvest season was approaching but she hadn't made a single profit, she felt heartbroken just thinking about it.

The tool workshop has two handcarts, a solar-powered four-wheeler, a tricycle, a bicycle, as well as manual farm tools, semi-automatic farm tools, and a grain and oil processing workshop.

When Lin Shu saw that the things in the small building were there, the heavy stone in her heart fell down, and she swallowed her saliva wildly when she smelled the fragrance of the steamed buns.

She quickly stuffed a steamed bun into her mouth, filled a bowl of water with the rough bowl she had just bought, and used chopsticks to string four steamed buns together and stood up.

"Dad Lin, eat."

Lin Erzhuang, whose throat was burning with thirst, was shocked when he saw the bowl of water and steamed buns, but he did not doubt it at all.

He knew that his daughter was a person of great fortune, and the Qiankun Bag was a good example.

Lin Erzhuang ate happily, but his eyes were red.

Lin Shu, wearing a sun hat, finished all the remaining steamed buns.

With an ice cream in one hand and a small solar fan in the other, the only flaw was that there were no suitable shoes.

...

"Whoever stole my pigs and chickens, may the heavens punish him with five thunderbolts and he will die a horrible death..."

Old Mrs. Lin beat her chest and stamped her feet, yelling and cursing, feeling as if someone had cut out her heart.

His green eyes stared at Wu and the four bastards with murderous looks in their eyes.

She glanced at the broom by the wall, a hint of viciousness flashed in her eyes, and she put her hands on her hips and sprayed feces wildly.

"Ms. Wu, hand over the pigs and chickens, or I'll report you to the police and have you and your whole family put in jail.

And the fish we caught today, hand them over, not a single one less..."

Old Mrs. Lin pounded her chest a few more times. Her blood boiled at the thought of the lost chickens, pigs, and the basket of fish.

She was sure that this matter was related to the second house, otherwise how could someone who was usually obedient dare to resist? The only explanation that made sense was that he was possessed by an evil spirit.

Lin Youcai, the fifth brother who had not been seen for a long time, was whispering with his two brothers, and no one paid any attention to the old lady Lin's shouting and scolding.

In the familiar basin of water, there were five or six crucian carps as big as a palm with their bellies turned white.

There was no trace of life in the kitchen, and the wives and children of the third and fourth rooms were nowhere to be seen.

Old man Lin sat on the doorstep, smoking a pipe, and from time to time his sinister eyes glanced at his three sons who were talking together.

...

When the father and daughter entered the village, the aroma of fish was wafting over the village, and some people were squatting at the doorsteps of their homes, happily chewing fish bones.

"Dad Lin, what do you think is waiting for us?" Lin Shu, who had returned to her normal self, said quietly.

"Haha, what is coming will eventually come. No one can bully you as long as your father is here."

Lin Erzhuang heard the sharp curses from Old Lady Lin, which woke him up like a heavy hammer.

"Dad Lin is so awesome!" Lin Shu waved her little fist to encourage.

"it is good!"

Lin Erzhuang felt relieved. He walked back home resolutely in the last rays of sunset, facing the sympathetic eyes of the villagers.

The villagers leaned on the courtyard wall to watch the fun, and did not forget to slurp the porridge in their bowls. Lin Erzhuang shook his head as he watched.

The old couple, who have always been very concerned about their reputation, would be so angry that they would vomit blood if they were watched twice in one day!

"Let go, let go," Lin Erzhuang bowed to the villagers gathered at the gate of the courtyard.

"Haha, Erzhuang! Where did this come from?" Lin Dayou, who was sipping from the bowl, raised his eyebrows.

"Since we caught some big fish, I took my daughter to Qinghe Town to see a doctor. It seems we have to go far away for dinner this evening." Lin Erzhuang said with a wry smile.

"It's not far, just a few steps away. Did the doctor tell me what disease your daughter has?"

Lin Dayou took a look at Lin Shu in the backpack. He said that there was no point in treating a little girl who couldn't even walk at the age of six. What was the point of raising her?

"Well, the doctor said that it was due to severe malnutrition that caused him to be unable to walk." Lin Erzhuang raised his voice.

"What is malnutrition?" Villager A asked in confusion.

"It's long-term hunger that causes his lack of height. To put it simply, he has never had a full meal since he was a child." Lin Jinglun, the eldest grandson of the village chief, shook his head.

The villagers present were silent for a while, and began to imagine all kinds of things, looking at Old Lady Lin with ambiguous gazes.

"Lin Lao Er, you bastard, why don't you get in here!"

Old Lady Lin let out a loud roar, and Lin Shu, who was in the backpack, shivered with fear.

"Look how scared the child is."

"Old lady Lin is letting the second wife bully her!"

"It looks like the family won't have dinner again."
