Affection for Sidaogou during the Famine

In this age of frequent food shortages, sugar is a high-calorie supplement that can quickly provide energy to the human body.

Especially when you are hungry, consuming sugar can quickly relieve symptoms of hypoglycemia, such as dizziness and palpitations.

For people who engage in physical labor or are in cold environments, sugar can provide necessary calories to help maintain physical strength and resist the cold.

This shows that the country has really made an effort. During the difficult period when foreign exchange was severely scarce, the country tried every means to import grain and sugar from abroad and spent huge amounts of foreign exchange to help the people.

"Zhao Zhao, why do I feel so anxious this year?"

"Then you should go out less often. Out of sight, out of mind. Just stay at home and live your life.

Go back and look in the mirror. With your current face, if you stand in front of people, you can tell at a glance that your family has plenty of food. If you meet a bad guy, he will definitely target you."

How can I not panic?

Even Han Zhaozhao, an old goblin who had lived two lives, was frightened after making eye contact with a man fleeing famine.

After returning home, she had nightmares for a week. That look was always staring at her, and she couldn't describe what it felt like. She had never seen a person's eyes convey such complex emotions.

There was disgust, hatred, numbness, confusion, despair, and cruelty... She swore that she saw a madness that was willing to destroy everything in that man's eyes.

That's a lunatic!

Many years later, Han Zhaozhao saw extremely similar emotions in another person's eyes, and she realized that that kind of look was only possessed by a madman.

The incident happened in the park where Han Zhaozhao was exercising. After the exercise, she took Xiaoliang and Wuni home.

But she found a little boy lying on a wooden chair beside the path. The boy looked to be about ten years old and as thin as a skeleton. She couldn't see what he looked like. All she could think of was his high cheekbones, brow bones, forehead, and the deep eye sockets and cheeks.

The boy's clothes were dirty and torn, he was lying on a tattered bag with his eyes tightly closed. If his body was not still rising and falling slightly, he would have been a dead man!

Xiao Liang really thought that the child was dead, so he pulled Han Zhaozhao and whispered to her, "Zhaozhao, there is a dead child on the chair!"

"You're mistaken! They're just sleeping!" Han Zhaozhao had noticed a long time ago that during this period, beggars fleeing famine often spent the night in the park.

Shelters were also set up in each street to provide two meals a day for those fleeing famine.

Han Zhaozhao heard from Grandpa Guan that the street had no money or food, and all they could provide was a bowl of mixed-grain porridge, wild vegetable dumplings, or steamed corn bread mixed with bran and corn cobs.

It can keep people from starving to death, but they certainly can’t get enough to eat.

The whole country is in trouble now. I heard from Uncle Bai and others that the Russians still want us to pay back their debts. It is said that our country owes the Russians 700 to 800 million rupees in foreign debt, and the leaders are arguing with the guy they call Xiaofu.

In 1957, this guy named Xiaofu made an unreasonable request, hoping that we would send one million people to the cold Siberia to help the Russians develop the country, but the Chairman rejected it.

Damn, is this development? This is completely trying to use our people as slaves, this is so shameless that it is outrageous.

The rejected Xiaofu became furious and the relations between the two countries became increasingly tense. The experts supporting our country were also withdrawn one after another. They wanted to strangle our country.

The Chinese are not spineless, especially the people of New China, who will never bow their heads to anyone.

Under the leadership of wise and insightful leaders, our country is ready to tighten its belt and pay its debts.

Under such difficult circumstances, the shelters are only able to accommodate disaster victims under certain conditions: they must have household registration books, letters of introduction, and other documents that can prove their identity.

After all, it is the capital, and public security inspections are relatively strict.

Many disaster victims who escaped from their hometowns did not have identity documents and could not enter the shelter. There were also security patrols in the city from time to time, and anyone caught would be sent back to their hometowns.

But if they go back to their hometown, they will starve to death! They have no choice but to hide everywhere. Parks, dilapidated houses, and under bridges are the first choice for these disaster victims to stay overnight.

Xiaoliang was moved with compassion. Han Zhaozhao had just given him a piece of roasted sweet potato, and before he could even hold it warm, he pushed the boy awake and stuffed it into his hand.

The sweet dried sweet potatoes had a special fragrance. Without opening his eyes, the boy stuffed a handful of them into his mouth and started chewing them with a "crunch" sound.

"Why are you sleeping here? There is a shelter in the street. Go there. Director Zhang is a very nice person. He will give you steamed bread to eat."

Xiaoliang is being stupid again!

This child is neither stupid nor smart, and he behaves in fits and starts, which often gives Han Zhaozhao a headache.

The boy was just busy chewing and didn't even look at Xiao Liang, let alone pay attention to him.

Han Zhaozhao was watching from the side. The child must have been cursing Xiaoliang in his heart, asking if he was stupid.

"Let's go, I have things to do when I get home!"

Han Zhaozhao shouted and prepared to take the two children home. When they were at home, they were told not to show that they had food in front of outsiders.

Everyone outside is hungry and anxious. They are not afraid of being robbed, but they are afraid that their children will get hurt in an accident.

She regretted it now. She shouldn't have been soft-hearted and stuffed food into Xiao Liang's mouth. She thought he would eat it directly, but he didn't know that his doghouse couldn't hold dry food, so he gave it away.

I'm not afraid of sending him off, why did you push him awake? Put him in your arms and walk away without talking to him!

That way you can help others, make yourself feel better, and avoid getting into trouble. How great is that!

She had good intentions, but her two children were not supportive!

Wu Ni: "Brother, I have food too, I'll give it to you!"

He took out two orange candies from his pocket and stuffed them into the boy's arms. "We'll come again tomorrow. Wait here. I'll bring you some steamed bread!"

Han Zhaozhao was dumbfounded. I’ll give it to you today. Why do you need an appointment?

In the space of a few words, five or six people fleeing famine gathered from nowhere.

The boy suddenly jumped off the wooden chair, grabbed the bag in one hand and the candy in the other, and ran away without saying anything.

Seeing that they were about to be surrounded, Han Zhaozhao was startled. He looked up and saw a man with messy hair limping towards them. His eyes...

"Run!" Han Zhaozhao felt a chill in his heart and ran away, grabbing a child in each hand.

When they reached the park entrance, Wu Ni screamed, "No, I can't run any more! Sister, stop, stop!"

Some people were going to work, some were going to school, and people were passing by in twos and threes. Only then did Han Zhaozhao dare to look back and found that the people behind him had not caught up.

Han Zhaozhao touched his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, thinking: They won't be able to come to this park again for a while!

After returning home, Han Zhaozhao gave the two children a good scolding, saying it was too dangerous. Fortunately, the incident happened in the city and there were people everywhere, so they were able to escape easily.

If they were outside the city, they would definitely be in danger and it would not be easy to escape.
