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

The saleswoman saw the two people come in. She was so hungry that she didn't even have the strength to stand up. She just sat down and asked, "What do you want?"

Xu Manyue looked at the counter of the supply and marketing cooperative and found that there was basically nothing edible.

There were only a few pieces of cloth left, and the style was very ordinary. Apart from these, there were some daily necessities on the counter, such as soap, matches, etc.

Xu Manyue thought for a moment, then pointed at the pieces of cloth and asked, "Comrade, do you need a ticket for this cloth?"

"No ticket required, 18 cents a foot."

These cloths are woven by nearby farmers at home. The styles are ordinary and the colors are not good-looking. They are only suitable for wearing when working. Generally, city people will not buy them.

Therefore, no tickets are required and the price is not expensive.

"Comrade, give me ten feet of this homespun cloth."

Shen Jingming walked over and looked at the counter. "Comrade, get two more bars of soap."

"Comrade, you need special soap tickets to buy soap." The salesperson stood up, wrapped the ten-foot-long cloth, handed it to Xu Manyue, then turned around and took out two more bars of soap and handed them over.

Shen Jingming directly took out two soap tickets and money from his pocket and handed them to the salesperson, "Pay for the cloth and soap together."

After coming out of the supply and marketing cooperative.

Shen Jingming handed two bars of soap to Xu Manyue and said, "There's not much in the supply and marketing cooperative right now. Keep one bar of soap at home, and take the other bar back with the cloth when you visit your parents."

Soap is a rare and good thing. It can wash clothes very clean.

But now there is a shortage of water everywhere and there are few opportunities to wash clothes, so there is no need to buy a bar of soap specifically for washing clothes.

Although she thought so in her heart, Xu Manyue did not say it out loud. She just smiled and took the things.

After the two finished shopping, it was still early and they were not in a hurry to go back.

Shen Jingming saw the state-owned restaurant nearby and thought of the woman's skinny body from last night, which felt really tight to the touch. He calculated in his mind the food coupons he had left.

After a moment, a conclusion was reached.

If I save some money on the way back to the army, I can still take her out for a meal today.

So, Shen Jingming looked at Xu Manyue and asked, "How about eating meat buns this afternoon?"

Xu Manyue's eyes lit up instantly, "Really?"

"Well, go in." Since he came back, he has been eating wild vegetables and drinking wild vegetable porridge every day. He actually wants to have a treat.

After entering, he spent a total of two taels of food coupons and ten cents to buy two meat buns.

One is Shen Jingming and the other is Xu Manyue.

To be honest, one meat bun is not enough to fill either man or woman.

However, in this difficult period, being able to eat meat buns is already a great happiness.

After the two finished eating the meat buns, they rode their bicycles home.

on the way home.

Xu Manyue saw that the old man who was lying on the side of the road was dead.

His body was still lying on the side of the road, the sunlight from the sky shining directly on his gray face, making it look deathly pale. In the old man's mouth, he was still chewing a piece of dry bark.

Xu Manyue suddenly thought of her previous life.

After she starved to death, her body was left lying casually on the roadside like this.

Just as Shen Jingming was riding his bicycle and taking Xu Manyue away from this place quickly, she tugged at the corner of his clothes.

"I want to bury that old man."

Shen Jingming was silent for a moment and stopped his bicycle.

After Xu Manyue got out of the car, she walked over and checked first. After confirming that the person was dead, she prepared to dig a hole on the side of the road and bury the person.

Shen Jingming stood beside the bicycle, watching her quietly, dragging the body with difficulty, and found a pointed stick to dig a hole.

Xu Manyue did not ask him for help, but buried the old man bit by bit on her own.

I don’t know how long it took, but the sky gradually darkened.

Xu Manyue finally stopped. Her hands were covered in blisters, which had burst and were now covered in blood.

She was very tired, so tired that her whole body ached and she wanted to lie down on the ground and rest.

However, this did not hinder her happiness.

Shen Jingming came over and supported her. He took out a handkerchief and gently wiped Xu Manyue's hands clean. Then he put her on the bicycle and let her lean on his back to rest.

Along the way, neither of them spoke.

When we returned to Shen's house, it was already dark.

Shen Jingming directly carried Xu Manyue back to the room to rest.

Logically, the two got married yesterday, and Shen Jingming is leaving tomorrow, so something must have happened between them tonight.

However, the two of them were just sleeping and chatting for a while.

Early the next morning, Xu Manyue woke up again, and the people around her had already left.

The other members of the Shen family haven't gotten up yet.

Xu Manyue was extremely tired yesterday and felt sore all over today. She estimated the time and lay in bed for a while until the other people in the Shen family got up, and then she got up.

There hasn't been much work in the fields these days, so I rarely go to work.

We eat in the cafeteria and there is basically nothing to do at home except cleaning.

The old lady glanced into Xu Manyue's house and asked, "Is the third one gone?"

Xu Manyue nodded and said, "Yes, I left before dawn. I didn't want to disturb my mother's rest, so I didn't come to say goodbye."

The old lady sighed, "Oh, I don't know when he will be back."

As she spoke, her tone changed and she looked at Xu Manyue's belly again, "In the past two nights, maybe you are pregnant too. You'd better be careful recently, don't let anything happen if you are not careful."

Xu Manyue touched her belly and prayed in her heart that it wouldn't happen in one go.

In this year of famine, she didn't want to drag her children along and struggle to survive.

The old lady called all her daughters-in-law to her, closed the door tightly, and began to explain things.

"Starting tonight, when you have nothing to do, take your children and secretly dig up some wild vegetables at the foot of the nearby mountains. Bring them home and pickle them, or perhaps dry them and grind them into powder for storage."

When Mrs. Shen heard this, she felt something was wrong. "Mom, the canteen eats wild vegetables every day now, why do you have to secretly go dig wild vegetables at night?"

Lin Luoxia didn't say anything, but she was also a little confused.

Only Xu Manyue was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood why no one in the Shen family starved to death in the famine in the previous life.

According to the time in the previous life, in half a month, the canteen in the brigade will be completely disbanded because there is no food in the warehouse. From then on, every household will cook their own food.
