At the end of the natural disaster, I have a capsule house

Chapter 347 Food shortage everywhere

When Grandma Qiao was teaching them how to dehydrate clothes, Aunt Wu introduced her daughter-in-law’s name to Liu Fang. The cabins they built now are next to each other and they are the closest neighbors.

"Have you had breakfast?" Su Keke took another piece of corn and gnawed on it and asked.

"No... I haven't eaten! We don't have much food now, so it's okay to skip breakfast!" Aunt Wu said carelessly.

Liu Fang was a little embarrassed. She saw that the corn in Su Keke's mouth was big and fragrant, and her stomach was really growling.

I hope Su Keke and the others didn't hear it, otherwise it would be so embarrassing!

Since the strong wind passed and the weather gradually returned to normal, the village chief took the villagers on the grassland down to the cave.

At that time, everyone was at the end of their rope and would starve to death in the cave if they didn't go down the mountain. Therefore, most people were not afraid of meeting those Sakura Country people again.

If people are going to starve to death, why should we be afraid? In the worst case, we will fight with them.

Unexpectedly, the villagers went down the mountain very smoothly this time. The people from Sakura Country seemed to have suddenly disappeared. Not even a single person was seen. The mountain village returned to its former peace.

The yurts were gone, so the village chief led the villagers to the mountains to cut wood and build cabins.

Rice seedlings have been spread on the farmland, vegetable seeds have been planted, and life is getting on track step by step.

But everyone is indeed short of food. Wild fruits on the mountains, grass on the grasslands, and wild vegetables in the ravines are the villagers' daily meals.

This was not enough for the people in the two villages, and the grass on their grasslands was almost gone.

Nowadays, adults basically only eat two meals a day, as long as they can ensure that they don't starve to death.

"It's okay if you don't have breakfast, come on! Just eat some with us."

After listening to Aunt Wu's words, Grandma Qiao took out all the corn and bean paste buns left in the kitchen and asked them to eat some in the living room of the RV.

"No, no! How can we eat your food!"

Aunt Wu and Liu Fang waved their hands quickly. They were hungry, but they were not intolerable. Other people's food must be hard-earned, and they can't ask for it.

"No need! Don't be polite to us!"

Su Keke stuffed a still-warm bean paste into each of Aunt Wu and Liu Fang's hands, "Eat it quickly! Although these bean paste buns are frozen food from the supermarket, they still taste good after being heated!"

Aunt Wu and Liu Fang held the steaming bean paste buns and felt warm in their hearts. Then each of them took a bite of the bean paste buns given by Su Keke. They were really fragrant and sweet.

"You can take it yourself when you are full. Coco and I are both full!"

Grandma Qiao saw that Aunt Wu didn't eat any more after eating one bean paste bun, so she asked her to get a few more.

"Sister Qiao, one is enough for me! Thank you!"

When Aunt Wu and Liu Fang saw that they had taken off their clothes and were wet, they wanted to go back to the grassland first.

They also invited Su Keke and Grandma Qiao to visit their newly built cabin.

Grandma Qiao went to the kitchen to get two bags, put the four corn stalks and six red bean paste buns that she had not finished steaming in the morning, and asked them to take them back for the children to eat.

Aunt Wu and Liu Fang couldn't push it away for a long time, so they had no choice but to thank them several times before taking their things and dry clothes and walking across the stream to the grassland.

Su Keke asked Aunt Wu to send a message to Village Chief Wang, asking the village chief to come to the RV to see them soon, but he didn't say anything specific.

Regarding sending supplies to the villagers, they still have to discuss it with their village chief, and let the village chief distribute the boxes of vegetables they brought over.

Just seeing Aunt Wu and Liu Fang's appearance, Su Keke thought that she should give them more potatoes. Potatoes have high starch content and can definitely be used as staple food.

Moreover, she can’t harvest all the vegetables she grows in her space. Giving more to these villagers in need will not have any impact on her and Grandma Qiao’s lives.

……

On the grassland, there was originally a lush green grass, but now only the roots are left by the villagers.

In the past ten days, villagers No. 780 have basically relied on this grass for three meals a day.

Village Chief Wang stood outside his cabin and sighed repeatedly as he looked at the bald grassland that no longer looked like what it used to be.

It takes at least three or four months for the rice grown in the farmland to be harvested. Although vegetables take a shorter time, one or two months is still needed.

There are so many people in the village! How should we spend these two or three months? Even if they eat grass every day, there is no grass for them to eat.

That's it. The head of the Niujia Village next door came to ask them to borrow food. How could they still have food?

There are a lot of wild fruits on the two mountains behind Niujia Village, but the villagers there say they don't have enough to eat, and there is no room for villagers from the grassland to pick them.

"Old Wang! Stop sighing! We can always get through it. As the saying goes, the boat will straighten out when it reaches the bridge. You go back to the house and drink some wild vegetable paste. I just cooked it for the swallows."

The village elder's wife came out of the newly built cabin. Seeing the village elder frowning and sighing from time to time, she advised him to be open-minded about everything.

"Alas! Why do you think our life is so difficult? Although there have been no earthquakes here, various minor disasters have continued. This year, we have just recovered a little, and we are back to before liberation."

Just as the village chief and his wife were standing outside the wooden house, sighing helplessly, Aunt Wu walked towards them holding a bean paste bag and a stick of corn.

She went home and hung up her clothes. She took one of the bean paste buns given by Su Keke to each of their two children, and then came over to the village chief to give Su Keke a message.

The corn and bean paste buns wrapped in plastic bags in Aunt Wu's arms were brought to the village chief's house for the swallows to eat.

Yanzi usually takes good care of their Ye Zi and Xiaohui, so Aunt Wu will always leave a portion for Yanzi if she has any delicious food.

No, when she arrived at the door, she saw the village chief and his wife standing there talking.

Aunt Wu told the village chief that Su Keke asked her to take the message.

When the village chief heard this, most of the gloom in his heart dissipated in an instant.

Su Keke and the others must have something important to come to him now.

Maybe it's about those people from Sakura Country who suddenly disappeared.

"Girls from the Wu family! Where are Xiao Su and the others? I'm going to see them right now!"

The village chief seemed so excited that he almost grabbed Aunt Wu's hand and asked her to lead the way.

"Their RV is parked next to the creek where we fetch water."

As soon as Aunt Wu finished telling where Su Keke and the others were, the village chief left in a hurry.

"Is the village chief so anxious?" Aunt Wu was stunned and said to herself.

"Sister! Come in and sit for a while! He is also worried about the livelihood of the whole village!"

The village elder's wife smiled at Aunt Wu and warmly invited her to sit inside the wooden house.

"Oh!" Aunt Wu didn't pay much attention. She said oh and followed the village elder's wife into the house with the things in her arms.
