Chapter 160 Signs of an Approaching Famine

What about the others? Yunxi didn't know, but Yunxi had never gone back.

Why would she go back home if she's all alone?

Originally, Li Xingtang wanted to stay and keep her company, but Yunxi was unwilling to send him back.

Why not take advantage of the holiday to go to the black market? Why would I need such a bright light bulb watching over me?

I can sell some of the things I don't need in the space in two days.

Especially the mountain of meat in the space, she felt that she often went up the mountain, so after eating, she would continue to hunt in the mountain. There was no need to keep hoarding it. It would be more practical to exchange it for some money.

After Li Xingtang returned home, his mother initially thought that her son was eating poorly outside and would become thin from hunger.

To his surprise, when he returned home, he found that his son had not only not lost weight, but had actually become even stronger.

He was already quite tall, and it seems he's grown a few centimeters taller. He even looks a bit thin before, but now he's even stronger.

She simply couldn't bring herself to say that her son had lost weight.

After hearing that it was Yunxi who was giving him extra help, he liked the girl his son liked even more.

Even before marriage, she already thinks about her son. After marriage, she will put her son first even more. She likes this kind of daughter-in-law.

Originally, she didn't like her son much when he was single-mindedly pursuing his career, feeling that he was being seduced by others. However, her son was stubborn and wouldn't turn back until he hit a wall, and since he was her only son, she couldn't help but feel sorry for him, so she simply stopped caring.

It seems my son had good judgment after all.

Li Xingtang couldn't stand being alone at home. He kept thinking about Yunxi and worried that she would be bullied if he wasn't there.

Especially now that Yunxi is becoming more and more beautiful, I'm worried that she might be lured away by someone with ill intentions.

So I only stayed at home for one night, and took the earliest bus back the next day.

This made Li's mother keep saying that she had given birth to her son in vain.

Li's father pretended to be reading the newspaper, acting as if he hadn't heard anything, so as not to have to say a few more words and shift the focus of the argument to him.

When Li Xingtang arrived at the house Yunxi had bought, the door was locked, and he couldn't see anyone there at all.

It wasn't until dark that Yunxi returned with a big smile on her face.

I was so anxious, and when I saw someone laughing so happily, I was worried that something else was wrong.

Fortunately, Yunxi only needed to gently hook his hand, and instantly all her thoughts disappeared.

The two of them blushed and held onto Yunxi's hand tightly.

Yunxi felt that he was too easy to manipulate, and luckily she still had some conscience. If she had met a bad woman who only wanted to play with his feelings, she would have made sure he couldn't escape.

They took out some meat and prepared a sumptuous dinner to entertain him. After he had eaten and drunk his fill, they sent him away.

She would never do anything she shouldn't. She couldn't be too eager. Once she gave him a title, she wouldn't have a chance to back out, and then she could properly "train" him.

When he was all alone, he couldn't wait to take the money in his spatial storage and count it.

She really didn't work for nothing these past two days; she only sold a little bit of meat from her spatial storage and already earned about four or five thousand yuan.

It can only be said that people in the city are quite well-off, and they are not so reluctant to eat meat, so more meat is sold.

I can sell three more times before summer vacation, and I can earn about 20,000 yuan in a semester, which is really great.

Strictly adhere to your goals, never waste the two days off each month, and by the time the final exams are over, you will have already earned 20,000 yuan.

After the holiday, he didn't leave immediately. Instead, he had another big visit before finally getting on the bus home with Li Xingtang.

Yunxi felt that the school she attended was pretty good. She had earned about 30,000 yuan in total, and her grades were consistently first or tied for first place with others. She also became more attractive. Her life was truly fulfilling.

I spent two whole years in high school, earning about 30,000 yuan each semester. That adds up to 120,000 yuan over four semesters. Adding that to my savings, I felt so rich!

After receiving her graduation certificate, the school originally recommended Yunxi to work in a textile factory.

After all, his grades were really good, and he could go directly to work as an officer. However, Li Xingtang was going to join the army, so Yunxi didn't want to be alone outside.

Yunxi doesn't even go to university, so how could she possibly work in the city?

Anyway, the money I earn isn't as much as what I make in the black market, so I might as well live a peaceful and leisurely life.

Moreover, her intuition was correct; she had sensed changes in this place a few years ago, and this year she began to feel a dryness in the air.

When the college entrance exam came, they discovered that there might be famine in the next few years.

After finishing the exams, I didn't stay at school for long. After receiving my graduation certificate, I couldn't wait to return to Yunjia Village.

First, she told her great-grandfather, Yun Deguang, about her relationship with Li Xingtang, and then she mentioned that something seemed amiss, possibly related to a famine.

The excuses they made were that there were already signs of this in other places.

Anyway, he had studied outside for several years and knew quite a few people. In addition, there were already signs of this in the village, so his great-grandfather believed it quite a bit.

Some of the elderly people here had experienced famine, and they all became quite anxious at the slightest sign of trouble.

In accordance with the requirements from above, everyone in the village is already eating communal meals.

Some families would take some of the leftover food back to feed their chickens, but this never happened in Yunjia Village.

Even if the higher-ups come to inspect and deliberately make a little extra, everyone will still have it dried when we get back, so it will still be edible eventually.

They used to think that those places could produce tens of thousands of kilograms per mu, but not here. They were very envious and wondered why they couldn't grow grains that yielded tens of thousands of kilograms per mu.

Later, I found out that everyone was reporting fake news, and realized that nothing of the sort had happened.

Fortunately, the entire Yunjia Village was quite united. Everyone in the village shared the surname Yun, so no one overreported the grain. Even if they were criticized by the commune cadres, they would not overreport the grain; they would simply report the exact amount.

In addition, since they were located near the mountains behind them, everyone was gathering wild vegetables as soon as signs of famine appeared, drying them all to eat during the famine.

The villagers initially thought they were overthinking things, but after hearing what Yunxi said, everyone started going to the mountains and rivers whenever they had free time. They brought back everything edible, including the elderly and children.
