Chapter 54: The Great Famine of 1942

Facing the intentional abandonment of children and grandchildren, it is impossible to say that it is not disappointed or helpless!

But every time when the night is quiet, when he thinks of the two lovely great-grandchildren at home, he reluctantly forgives the two unfilial sons and four unfilial grandchildren.

After all, it’s all for the roots of the old Li family!

Forget it, anyway, he was the one who stepped into the coffin with both feet. Even if he followed him to escape from the famine, he might have buried goods halfway. Just stay there. The only regret is that he is afraid that he can't even die to be a full devil!

It is said that being a starving ghost is pitiful. Not only will it be hungry forever, but it will not be enough to eat, it is said that life is not easy to live on the other side...

He was not afraid of anything else, nor did he think about it. The only regret and fear was that he was empty-hearted when he died. If he could, even if he had a meal of rotten roots and leaves, he would want to eat enough before he could die.

He sat on the wall of his home with no interest, looking at the sunset that was about to fall in the sky with weak energy. Just as the old man fantasized about various delicious foods, hoping that he could have a meal before he died. When he died, he would not be a starving ghost. Suddenly, he found that there was a wisp of smoke rising from the sky at the west end of Zhuangxi.

"I'm going to die, so I'm dazzled?" The old man murmured, subconsciously raising his hand to wipe his eyes, then wiped his eyes.

But when he wiped his eyes for a long time and looked over again, the curling smoke of the cooking stove was still there! It was really still there!

An unprecedented joy immediately surged in the old man's heart.

What does it mean to have cigarettes? Not to mention anything else, at least it means that some people are boiling water or even cooking!

Perhaps the determination to be a starving ghost to defeat death, the old man, who had obviously lost his strength, suddenly felt a surge of energy after seeing the smoke from cooking.

The old man leaned on a broken wooden crutch he picked up temporarily, one step deep and one step shallow. Finally, before the smoke from the cooking stove was gone, his eyes became brighter and brighter and he looked more and more happy, and he found the doorstep of Zhuangxitou.

Looking at the smoke slowly emitting in the yard, the more the old man knocked on the door, the more urgent the person became, and the more he was looking forward to it.

Sangou Danzi is a chef and he has eaten the table he has done. It was when Sangou Danzi first came back to establish a tomb for his wife and children, and then a table for him when he was repairing the house.

With his skill, he is very good at finding a way out. With such skills, he naturally has no worries about not finding a way to make a living.

Yes, God will not starve the family bird to death. Why do people with ability fear this famine and drought?

Now that every household has reached the point of escaping famine, Sangou Danzi can still open fire and cook, which shows that she is very well-off!

Since Sangou Danzi is so wealthy and he is his uncle, he doesn't ask for much, so he just wants a full meal. Even if the grassroots leaves are mixed with mud, as long as he is allowed to drink, he will not be a starving ghost after death!

With full of expectations, the old man kept knocking on the door.

Unfortunately, no matter how he knocked the closed door in front of him, he could not open it. There was no movement in the yard, which made the old man very desperate.

Is he destined to be a starving ghost?

"Oh!" The old man who had no effect knocked on the door sighed long, and was disappointed and leaning on a simple crutch. When he turned around and wanted to leave, suddenly, the courtyard door behind him that could not be opened for a long time creaked, and a crack was opened from inside.

"Huh?" The old man turned his head slowly, looking at the crack that was opened, and he was puzzled, tilting his head and squinting his eyes while observing. A small head suddenly popped out of the crack in the door, and a hesitant sound came out of his mouth.

"Second, second grandfather?"

The old man heard the sound and looked down.

Oh, it turns out to be redundant.

"It's Donier, where is your grandfather?"

When Duoyu was asked about his grandfather, he immediately frowned and then quickly answered, "My grandfather is not at home."

"Is your grandfather at home?" The old man heard the unnecessary answer. When he heard Li Sanhe was not at home, he subconsciously stunned for a moment of confusion, then nodded again with understanding, muttering, "Oh, that's no wonder!"

No wonder the chimney at Sangou Danzi's house dares to smoke at this moment. The original Sangou Danzi was not at home, so he said, Sangou Danzi would not be a person who was unpredictable.

The old man nodded slowly, as if he had understood the truth. Before he could speak, Duoyu asked again: "Second Grandpa, is there anything you have to do when you come to my house? Did you come to find my grandpa?"

The unnecessary questions made the old man forget what he was thinking just now. The old man waved his hand quickly, "No, no, no, no, I don't..."

Didn’t he come to find her grandfather? Then why did he come?

Duoyu was confused, but he continued to ask, "Didn't the second grandfather come to find my grandfather?"

"Uh... no, cough cough cough, yes, yes!".

So, is it? Or is it? It's too late to be confused.

In fact, not only was she confused, but the old man was also confused!

It’s really hard to say that the question of coming to the door to eat is that it’s so hard for him to speak for an old man who has never bowed his head in his life!

He wanted to say no, but then he thought of his current situation. In order not to be a starving ghost, the old man also took the initiative to speak out, hesitating, embarrassing, and tentatively.

"Do, Donier, are you cooking at home? Well, cough cough... That, um, if, um, Donier, you have something to eat, can you? Uh, can you? Uh..."

Looking at the old man in front of him who was not very familiar with him, he looked like he was hesitating for a long time and couldn't speak clearly. He was anxious and hurriedly asked, "Second Grandpa, what do you want to say?" It's so anxious!

Looking at the child's questioning face and touching his empty belly, the old man finally made a cruel decision, gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and took the initiative.

"That Donier, if you have something to eat, can you give the second grandfather a bite? Don't have too much, just a little bit, look?"

Oh! It turned out that I came to eat! Duoyu suddenly realized.

But, it’s just a little bit of a mistake to choose the old man.

The little guy just gave food with great care, which attracted Damao and his cruel uncle to come to grab food. This one just suffered a cruel blow from reality. The food left outside of the house was basically robbed. The thrilling robbery of the previous robbery has not passed yet, and the bad experience is still vivid in the purpose. How dare Xiao Duoyu take it easy? Now he has let go of his guard?

When she heard the other party say that she was here to eat, although she felt very sympathetic to the elder and there was food in her pot, the problem was that she didn't dare to do it anymore!
