39. Younger brother

Su Jinyu: "Big sister is right. Don't be so kind. We can't even take care of ourselves! This food won't last long. If the relief food doesn't come down soon, we'll go hungry too."

Su Jinru: "It's hard to count on relief grain. We don't have rice seeds to plant now, and we won't have any income in the second half of the year. We can't feed ourselves. Can the little relief grain the country provides save so many people?"

"Don't expect this famine to end anytime soon."

Liu Yulan asked worriedly, "What should we do? When will this end?"

She was very upset: "I was wrong. I shouldn't have ignored Aru's advice. I was just being silly yesterday and gave that lazy dog ​​a sweet potato, which made him think about us. I won't talk to him anymore when he comes."

Su Jinru: "Most people would have been able to survive on that sweet potato for two days. Even if they got hungry, they would have gone somewhere else to find a way to survive instead of coming back here. You can never satisfy that kind of person, and they will never feel grateful to you."

Liu Yulan said angrily, "Yes! I didn't give him any more. At first, he said a lot of nice things, but later he just started cursing."

Su Jinru took out some roasted sweet potatoes and potatoes from the cloth bag; they were still warm.

"I baked these, they smell better than boiled ones, eat them while they're hot!"

The sweet potatoes and potatoes that Su Jinru grew in her space were large, free of pests, and tasted exceptionally good. They were even more fragrant when roasted.

Ah Xuan smelled the aroma and couldn't wait to pick up a sweet potato and start eating.

"It's delicious, Third Sister, it's really delicious. You have one, and Mom, Dad, you have one too."

Thinking of how her beloved younger brother had starved to death in his previous life, Su Jinru felt a pang of sadness.

She peeled a potato and handed it to her younger brother.

"Ah Xuan, potatoes are pretty good too, you should try some."

Su Jinxuan took a bite of the potato.

"Baked potatoes are quite delicious and fragrant."

He held a sweet potato in his left hand and a potato in his right, taking a bite from each side, eating with relish, the aroma lingering in his mouth.

Su Jinyu broke off half a sweet potato.

I handed the other half to my mom.

Liu Yulan shook her head.

"I ate a sweet potato today."

To save food, she only ate one sweet potato a day.

As long as I don't starve to death, that's fine.

Su Jinru: "Dad, Mom, you eat! I can't guarantee you'll eat well, but I can guarantee you'll be full. No matter how long the famine lasts, I won't let you go hungry."

Su Ke: "Aru, food is hard to come by now, and there are beggars everywhere outside. It's very chaotic. Whenever they see someone with food, they swarm to snatch it."

"You're a woman, it's dangerous for you to go out and search for food."

"Don't worry! I know a grain seller who can sell me grain whenever I need it, and he'll even give me credit. So I don't need to look for grain everywhere, and I won't put myself in danger."

"Where did you meet this person? Was it a man or a woman? Why is he so nice to you?"

"Dad, don't overthink it. It's a woman, or more precisely, a couple. They asked me to keep it a secret, so I can't say who they are. Don't worry about who they are either. Anyway, don't worry, I have a way to get food. Don't be stingy with your food. It'll be a real problem if you get sick from hunger and your health collapses."

Su Jinru was forced into a corner and had no choice but to continue making up lies to reassure her parents.
