Famine Bride: Marry into the best in-laws and win

Hong Quan sighed again, "Of course I haven't thought about this issue. Last night, I discussed it with your Uncle Guo for half the night."

"I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but we only have a few dollars left in our brigade account. This is definitely not enough to buy seeds and fertilizer."

"That's why I came to the commune to apply and see if they can approve some corn seeds. As for fertilizer, we can only use farmyard manure. It's still early, so we can grow some food so that everyone can survive this winter."

Xu Manyue thought about it and finally decided to help everyone.

"Uncle Hong, leave the seeds to me. I'll give it a try, but don't hold your hopes too high. I'm not sure I can get many."

"Really, Man Yue, do you really have a way to get the seeds?"

Hong Quan was so excited that his face turned red.

If you have the seed, no matter what happens next, you have finally taken this step.

Xu Manyue looked at him and said, "Uncle Hong, if I am confident in getting the seeds, do you have the determination to lead everyone to grow food?"

There are basically no young and middle-aged people in Qingshan Brigade now. Most of them are the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled, or some women and children. In short, after the death of the previous brigade leader, almost everyone who could escape famine did so.

There is really not much labor force in Qingshan Brigade nowadays.

Hong Quan was silent.

This is another problem that lies ahead.

Xu Manyue looked at the time. It was getting late. If she didn't go back now, she would probably have to ride her bike in the dark.

"Uncle Hong, please think this through carefully. Tomorrow after get off work, I'll go to the brigade office to find you. Please bring Uncle Guo along, and also the brigade's account books and population statistics books."

The Uncle Guo she mentioned was the brigade's accountant Guo Shan.

Originally, the brigade had a brigade secretary, but unfortunately the person who caused the famine had starved to death a long time ago, and the position remains vacant until now.

Hong Quan's lips moved up and down, and he looked at Xu Manyue with a complicated look in his eyes. "Okay, we'll wait for you in the brigade office tomorrow."

Now he had no choice but to trust the young man in front of him. Maybe the other party really had the ability to solve the problem.

After all, she was the only person in Qingshan Brigade who passed the exam to become a teacher in the commune primary school.

After returning to the Shen family, Xu Manyue sat at the desk, took out a notebook and a pen, and began to write and calculate on it. It was not until late at night that she was too sleepy and went to bed to rest.

The plan to reform the Shen family has been progressing slowly, and is only halfway through.

At first, he could still rely on some small things to gain transformation points for the Shen family. But since the Shen family's rations were barely enough for them to survive the famine years, the transformation progress gradually slowed down.

In order to solve this problem, Xu Manyue has been thinking about it for a long time, and now he finally came up with a solution.

The easiest way to transform a person is to let him or her find a goal to strive for.

Before, in order to avoid starvation, the Shen family worked hard to grow sweet potatoes and raise rabbits, working together to survive the famine.

The transformation value and transformation progress will increase faster.

Now, she plans to put them in a suitable position and let them work hard to ensure that the whole family has enough food and warm clothes.

In a year of famine, who doesn’t want to have enough food to eat? In order to have food to eat, everyone will roll up their sleeves and work hard, and the whole family will work hard together.

The transformation progress will definitely be accelerated.

It was the next day in a blink of an eye.

After get off work, Xu Manyue first sent Shen Baozhu back to the Shen family, said something to the old lady, and went straight out to the brigade office.

"Hey, Mom, why is there something wrong with the third daughter-in-law these days? She's always in a daze and seems to be worried about something."

Mrs. Shen looked at Xu Manyue's hurriedly disappearing back and couldn't help but ask.

The old lady also stared at the direction Xu Manyue left and thought, "Something is indeed wrong. Ever since Old Man Yang passed away a few days ago, she has started to act strangely."

He doesn't look like he's still sad.

Lin Luoxia cleaned the rabbit hive at home, turned around and saw the two people looking at it, so she washed her hands and walked over.

"Mom, sister-in-law, and my third brother's wife are in school these days. They have home visits during class. Maybe a student didn't go to class today, so she'll go over and check."

Baozhu told her privately these days that some of her classmates would miss school every few days, and now there are only three or four people left in their class.

The old lady thought about it, raised her hand and patted Mrs. Shen on the head, "Maybe it is, stop imagining it, and go make your meal."

"Other people are at work, but what are you doing? All you do is gossip."

Mrs. Shen curled her lips in grievance, "Mom, I was just saying it casually, it's nothing serious."

"Hmph, I don't care if you're interesting or not. Go and cook! Haven't you seen how hungry my eldest grandson is? "

At the mention of Shen Xiaoshan, Mrs. Shen instantly became worried. She ran over and hugged him, looking him up and down. "Oh, you've really lost a lot of weight, and your face is a little swollen. Isn't he suffering from edema due to hunger?"

She only has this one son. What would she do if something happened to him?

The old lady glared at her fiercely and said, "How can you be a mother? Now you don't even care about your son. Just cook your meal."

I don’t know why she is so obsessed with men even though she is already so old.

Her eldest son was quite good-looking when he was young, but now he is a middle-aged man in his thirties and looks uglier and uglier.

Only she, the eldest daughter-in-law, likes it.

……

When Xu Manyue arrived at the brigade office, Hong Quan and Guo Dashan had been waiting there for a long time.

The two chatted for quite a while.

"Captain, do you really believe what that girl said?"

Guo Dashan frowned and looked at Hong Quan.

He remembered that this man never believed in anything and was decisive in doing things, otherwise no one would have let him be the team leader.

Now he has actually fallen to the point of believing what a little girl said, and she even deceived him into coming, making him think that he really has some way to help the team overcome this difficulty.

Hong Quan waved his hand and drank a sip of water. "We'll know if it works when people come. We two old guys can't let a little girl fool us."

"Besides, what if it works?"

Although the probability is very small, he still wants to give it a try.

Maybe they will really succeed, and then who will dare to say that he is not as good as that dead old guy.

When Xu Manyue walked to the door, she happened to hear these words. She paused and raised her hand to knock on the door, "Uncle Hong, Uncle Guo, it's me, I'm here."

Hong Quan quickly stood up and walked over. "Come, sit down, Manyue. If you have any ideas, just tell me. If it works, your uncle Guo and I, two old guys, will support you even if it costs us our old bones."

"Right, Old Guo." Seeing that Guo Dashan had not expressed his opinion yet, he poked him with his hand.
