Lucky Wife at 50s

At 8:30 in the morning, the villagers gathered on the empty dam in front of the village committee office, chatting with each other.

"You say, does the commune still have relief food?"

"I see Xuan, if there was food, it would have been distributed long ago."

"Even the grain has been collected, how can there be any grain?"

"Don't dream, now everyone is buying food to support the north, where can't we take care of us."

"But the problem is that we are going to run out of food, so we can't let us go hungry and suffer."

"Hey, I can't live this day."

"It seems that the price of the grain store can't come down. I still think that it will come down after a while."

"Don't count on it, the grain store doesn't take the opportunity to make more money at this time, how can it be possible to lower the price."

"Hey, the price is too high. How can we country folks afford it?"

"How's this day going? If there is no food, my family will run out of food."

"Who's not? Our family has changed to eat twice during this time."

"If it weren't for the crazy growth in the mountains during this period, we would not even be able to eat vegetables."

"It's almost finished now. I see, our team won't last long."

"It shouldn't be that bad, right? Our brigade still has wheat. When the harvest comes, it will be enough to eat a big pot of rice for a while."

"Hmph, with so many mouths open in the brigade, how many days can you eat that little wheat?"

The members of the Qi family also came to the village committee courtyard early, but because they were not very familiar with the villagers, they did not come up to chat with everyone, but stood behind the crowd and silently listened to everyone's chat.

Because there were more people on the courtyard dam, and everyone went to chat, so for a while, everyone didn't pay much attention to the Qi family behind the crowd.

Qin Tianru's eyes drooped slightly, he didn't expect that the situation of the brigade had reached this stage.

Since she came to the production team, she has almost always been on the front line, either going up the mountain or staying at home. She rarely goes out to meet people in the village, so she is not very clear about the current situation in the village.

In addition, she doesn't like to join in the fun or listen to gossip.

Now that she heard everyone's discussion, she was shocked to realize the seriousness of the situation.

Although she had known for a long time that such a day would come, she still felt a little at a loss when it really came.

"Hey~"

Shen Yuerong sighed lightly, feeling a little bit for a while.

In the face of such a large-scale disaster, their family is also powerless. In order to ensure the safety of the family, they can only hide their tails and act low-key.

The expressions of Qi Qing and Qi Jun couldn't be better either. After hearing everyone's conversation, the sister and brother realized that their family's life was a little different from everyone's life.

At first they thought that if they moved back from the provincial capital to live in the countryside, their life would definitely become hard, but in fact, their family's living standard has not deteriorated much.

On the contrary, because of the presence of their sister-in-law, almost every meal in their family is extraordinarily delicious and satisfying. Besides being able to do some farm work, they now have no worries about food or clothing, and even more than living in the city before. Fullness and freedom.

Because it hasn't changed much from the past, the sister and brother didn't pay too much attention to the living standards of the villagers, after all, they didn't have much contact.

If it wasn't for hearing the villagers' discussions now, it is estimated that the two brothers and sisters would not have realized this until now.

There was a hint of timidity on Qi Qing's face, she suddenly felt that their home was a little dangerous? After all, there is a lot of food stored in their cellar.

Qi Qing lowered her head and looked at her fairly well-proportioned figure again. No, she can't eat whatever she wants!

Does her body look like she can't eat well?

If she eats like this, others will see her figure, and they will definitely know that her family is the master of food.

Wouldn't that be too striking?

Starting today, she must reduce the amount of food she eats, so as not to reveal that her family is very wealthy.

On the other hand, Qi Yuanhua was unusually silent and his expression was extremely serious.

In short, after hearing the comments of the villagers, the mood of the Qi family was also affected to varying degrees.

Soon, Qi Zhongkang stood on the stone platform and raised his hand to signal. Seeing this, the villagers immediately quieted down, and the scene instantly became silent.

This move is quite agile and decisive, not because the villagers have become well-trained or particularly obedient, but because the captain on the stone platform is too scary.

Everyone looked at him and closed their mouths in fright, only to see Qi Zhongkang's face tensed, his expression serious, his brows furrowed, and a suppressed sense of urgency on his body.

This feeling made everyone feel a little uneasy.

Did something bad happen again?

The famine in the north has already exhausted them enough. The food problem has not been solved yet. If something serious happens again, what will they do.

In the crowd, some villagers' faces could not help but reveal a bit of sadness and panic.

For a while, the entire courtyard was in a tense and depressed atmosphere, and everyone seemed to dare not even breathe, let alone speak.

Qi Zhongkang, who was standing on the stone platform, was in a heavy heart and didn't know how to tell everyone the bad news.

So, the crowd was quiet, but Qi Zhongkang's mood was not calm. He stood on the stone platform and looked at everyone inexplicably.

After about a few dozen seconds of silence, Qi Zhongkang also realized that he had been silent for a long time.

"Folks, I have called you together to announce something. I just received the document issued above. From now on, all private transactions are prohibited, and all individual shops and restaurants are closed. If anyone violates the rules, it will be regarded as speculation!"

Before Qi Zhongkang's words were finished, the crowd immediately exploded!

"My mother~ What is this going to do!"

"Captain, what does this mean?"

"Yeah, why didn't I get it."

"Captain, why do you want to prohibit personal trading? Does this mean that in the future, our neighbors will not be able to buy and sell things with each other?"

"Captain, the shop is open well, why should it be closed?"

"If the shops are closed, where do we go to buy things?"

"I just want to know what is speculation?"

"Could it be that we broke the law by selling something?"

"Captain, please tell everyone clearly, what's going on?"

"Hey, it's over, it's over now, how can we buy food in the future~"

For a while, the scene was full of noisy voices, very noisy.
