Time Travel Article: Tool Man Rejects Plot

Second year of famine, despair.

The severe drought continued, rivers dried up, and crops failed.

The town's supply and marketing cooperatives were in extreme shortage of both grain, oil and vegetables. The canteens in all the major factories had no rice to cook, and all the state-owned restaurants were closed.

Many people developed edema and the death toll increased significantly.

Some areas were filled with starving people, which was like hell on earth.

Gujia Village is also facing a crisis of running out of water and food. Now, people don’t even wash their hands or scrub their dishes, let alone wash their faces. If they could scrape some oil off the edge of the bowl, they would be very happy for a long time.

Recently, even the Bobcat family moved to Gu Mingyue's backyard.

Humans had nothing to eat, and neither did the animals in the mountains.

At this time, the hungry beasts had no time to care about their territory. Whenever they found prey, they would fight to the death.

You can always trust the instincts of animals; their sense of danger is beyond common sense.

So, when Gu Mingyue suggested taking them home, Da Mao, who had many wounds on his body, did not resist.

However, every night, it and Ermao would go out hunting, with one leaving the other to watch the house.

I guess they felt embarrassed to stay here for free, so even if they didn't bring back pheasants, they would at least pick some fruits.

Another time, he was actually holding a Ganoderma lucidum in his mouth. Seeing that Gu Mingyue liked it, he would bring one every now and then. I don't know where he found it.

Worried that they might be in danger, I told them several times not to use them, and only then did Da Mao and Er Mao change to something else.

Gu Mingyue sometimes feels that animals are sometimes better at repaying kindness than humans.

There was a new member in the family, and as a guard dog, Dandan was very unhappy at first.

Later, he was always surrounded by three lynx cubs, and gradually, he went from resistance to acceptance.

Seeing this, Da Mao and Er Mao would take the puppies directly to the doghouse when they went out at night.

Then we walked together with ease.

Gu Mingyue discovered this by accident. She saw Dandan skillfully carrying the cub back to the nest and hugging it to sleep together. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Their eggs have worked hard, so they deserve extra food!

The happiest people are Xiao Shitou, Guangxin and a few others.

The children thought the little lynx was a kitten and were very excited about it.

If Gu Mingyue hadn't been on guard, Guangxin would have dared to steal the cub back into the bed.

During this period, except for Master Lu and my uncle's family.

The Bai family, Shen Yiming, Xu Xiwen, Lu Xue and Xiao Yang all brought food.

Adversity sees the truth.

Even if these people's families are well off, the demand for food is far from enough to meet the supply. Even if you spend a thousand yuan, you may not be able to buy a steamed bun.

Gu Mingyue naturally remembered this kindness, and gave them some dried sweet potatoes and dried pork as return gifts, and reminded them to remain vigilant as the disaster might continue.

In her previous life, every time she asked for tuition and living expenses, her family would deliberately humiliate her before throwing the money to her the night before school started.

She knew very well the feeling of embarrassment.

As for others, Gu Mingyue secretly delivered food to the three freshmen from the very beginning, for fear that they would worry too much.

There was not much food, mostly sweet potatoes and potatoes. If they saved a little, it would be enough for them to cope with the coming year.

He also did not forget to tell Brother Guan to pay more attention to Bai Feng when he was patrolling. There were women and children in the house, so they could easily become targets, so it was better to be careful.

Things on her side were handled in an orderly manner, and other people in the village were increasingly stretched to the limit.

When Gu Mingyue was notified that someone had fainted from hunger on the ground, she knew that it was time.

The old rice I bought from Boss Zhou has not been touched, just in case.

She would not take the initiative to give out food out of kindness, as that would be like a child hugging gold and seeking his own death.

My original intention was to give a helping hand when everyone else couldn't hold on any longer.

The reason for using aged rice is to make it more convincing and not to attract attention.

So, Gu Mingyue used the excuse that a classmate had written to her and could help buy food.

Since this is old rice that has been in stock for a long time, we will calculate its price based on half of the current store price.

The news gave the villagers hope again.

When they learned that the money for buying food this time would be temporarily recorded in the account, and when the disaster was over, it would be deducted according to work points...

They were extremely grateful in their hearts, especially those families who had no money at home, they wanted to run to the village office immediately to kowtow.

Gu Mingwei was worried that uneven distribution among families would lead to conflicts.

Finally, it was decided to hand over the food to the canteen for unified serving, with two meals per person per day, limited to one bowl per meal, and add additional food as appropriate for the elderly and pregnant women.

Some people couldn't help but wipe away their tears when they ate the rice that was neither too thick nor too thin again.

Not long ago, they were so desperate that they almost committed suicide, just to leave food for their family. Unexpectedly, there was a sudden turn of events...

Looking at the village cadres who were carefully arranging food distribution, everyone in the village stood up and bowed spontaneously.

At this point, the people of Gujia Village were as united as an ironclad force, and even after the Ten Years Movement came, they were still difficult to shake.

期间，顾明月特意用布包着50斤腊肠、100斤风干肉、100斤地瓜干、100斤土豆干和50斤油炒面邮寄到二哥部队。

I was worried that the smell of the food would be discovered by people on the road and attract prying eyes.

She specially wrapped a lot of corn cobs and stuffed a lot of mugwort around the package. If anyone asked, she would say it was sent to the army to repel mosquitoes.

The leader of my second brother’s army is Lu Jianjun.

When I learned that there was a package, I was still wondering who sent it. After all, a letter from my hometown asking for food had just arrived, and the food mailed to my comrades' homes had just been sent.

Because of this, his wife had a quarrel with him for several days, and he still sleeps in the office until now.

As soon as he got the package, Lu Jianjun sneezed violently. When he saw Gu Mingyue's name on it, he frowned slightly, and couldn't remember who it was for a moment.

When we returned to the dormitory, comrades came over to join in the fun.

When they smelled the pungent scent of mugwort, they were curious about what was being mailed.

Someone suddenly responded, "Hey, Mingyuan's sister is called Gu Mingyue, right?"

When talking about the fallen comrades, everyone felt depressed for a moment, but they were already used to swallowing the sadness and quickly cheered up.

"Hurry and take a look, what did our sister send?"

Some people are worried, "I heard that there is a severe drought in the Northeast. Is there a shortage of food..."

The voices became quieter and quieter. The troops were also short of food, not to mention that many families were writing to ask for food.

Everyone really squeezed out food from their teeth and mailed it to their families and the homes of their fallen comrades.

They take care of everyone except themselves.

Someone gritted his teeth and said, "I can't let this girl go hungry. At worst, I can just skip a meal."

Lu Jianjun was also thinking, should he go home and admit his mistake to his wife, so that he could scratch something on the way...

Who would have thought that after opening the packages layer by layer and seeing the things inside, the room fell silent for a moment.

Political Commissar Ning Zhiyuan wondered what bad things a bunch of people were doing in the office. Just as he was about to ask, he saw a large pile of food on the table and asked seriously, "Where did it come from?"

When he found out that it was sent by Gu Mingyue, his expression relaxed, but then his heart felt a little sad.

Some sentimental people secretly shed tears and said worriedly, "I don't know when this child started saving up the money. If she sends it all to me, what will she do?"
