1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

Second aunt is already busy preparing dinner in the kitchen. Tonight's meal is going to be a sumptuous one, with steamed pumpkin, fried oil residue, and fried potatoes with pork.

The only thing that made Li Weiguo dissatisfied was that the Li family still had not had a dry meal.

It was a rare occasion for the family to have meat, and the two younger brothers ate with their mouths drooling.

It was the first time for Li Weiguo to eat wild boar meat in his two lives. It was not as delicious as he had imagined and had a fishy smell.

But it is much better than drinking wild vegetable porridge every day, and it is even more unacceptable to dislike it.

Compared to the two younger ones, he eats quite fast.

My second uncle and second aunt would definitely not compete with the children for the meat. They looked very satisfied while eating the steamed pumpkin and fried dough sticks.

Grandpa Li and Grandma Li prefer the soft, glutinous and sweet pumpkin. When they see their children eating it with relish, their eyes narrow into slits.

In the Lijiacun Commune Brigade, the villagers gathered in the canteen, everyone holding a big bowl in their hands.

In the cafeteria, large bones were bubbling in a big pot, and in another big pot, pork offal soup was being made. They could have made a whole pot.

But the aunt in the cafeteria was afraid that the food would smell different, so she made two big pots.

First they had a bowl of fragrant pork offal soup, and finally had a bowl of hot bone soup. After two bowls, all the villagers enjoyed the meal.

In the crowd, Li Weiguo’s second grandfather and his family were sitting in the cafeteria eating.

If it weren't for him, the villagers wouldn't be able to eat pork soup, and everyone kept thanking him.

Especially the aunties and aunties in the village, they never stopped expressing their gratitude.

This made old man Li Quanzhen very depressed during the meal. In the end, he turned his grief into food and ate an extra bowl of pork offal.

This caused the cafeteria lady to slap him hard on the mouth twice: "You are so rude! You never learn your lesson!"

After dinner, Li Weiguo leaned close to his grandmother's ear and asked tentatively, "Grandma, do you want to exchange our pheasants and rabbits for food?"

Grandma Li was stunned and said to her eldest grandson helplessly: "Yes! Take them all to exchange for coarse grains. This big family can't just rely on the little food you sent over."

"Then let your second uncle take it to the black market to exchange for food, and you will be less stressed."

"Actually, grandma knows that your life is not easy either. Your father is always a worrywart!"

When talking about her eldest son, a layer of mist appeared in Grandma Li's eyes.

If it weren't for the need to support his family, the eldest son would not have left his leg untreated and become disabled just to save on medical expenses.

Thinking of this, her heart ached.

"Grandma, when I came here, my dad asked me to take three dollars and fifty cents with me? Or should I ask my second uncle to take me to the black market?"

As he said that, Li Weiguo took out the three yuan or so from his pocket, actually from the space.

"Hey! Why are you carrying so much money? Your father only needs to deliver food. What if he asks you to carry the money and loses it?"

The whole family was shocked by the three dollars Li Weiguo gave them and looked at him in surprise.

This amount of money may not be a big deal in the city, but it is a lot in the village. They are really worried about letting Li Weiguo, a young boy, take care of it.

"Grandma, this is the money I earned from selling fish. I made eight dollars and fifty cents in total."

Li Weiguo felt a little proud when he said it.

"No wonder your father asked you to take it. My eldest grandson is really promising!"

When Grandpa Li heard that it was his eldest grandson who earned the money, his face was filled with pride. His eldest grandson can earn money to help support the family!

Grandma Li glanced at Li Weiguo in a reproachful manner and said:

"Your father is just very generous. Okay! Tonight, you two uncles and nephews go to the black market and exchange the rabbits and pheasants for food. I see that the crops in the fields are failing, so there's nothing wrong with storing more food!"

"Mom, you're right. The water level in the river has dropped a lot. The corn leaves are curling up. It's a bad year!"

Second Aunt also echoed.

"Hey! When will these hard times end? Weiguo, pack up and let's go!"

There is no black market near Lijia Village, so they have to walk seven or eight miles in the dark.

Grandma Li found a sack and put the pheasant, rabbit and two fish into the sack, and asked them to take them all away. Li Weiguo wanted to keep some, but how could Grandma Li agree?

"Why keep it? It's more important to save food! We still have pork!"

Li Weiguo had no choice but to compromise. If he wanted to eat wild rabbits and pheasants, he would go to the mountains to hunt them later!

There was a large black market on the outskirts of Sijiu City, and Li Dahe usually went there to exchange for food.

He was familiar with the route. It was Li Weiguo's first time walking on a field road at night. If he hadn't been with his second uncle, he would have been really timid.

It was pitch black all around, with insects chirping constantly, and the breeze was a bit cold.

I don’t know how long I walked, but I saw a place with red lanterns hanging in the woods in the distance.

"Let's go in later. It's still early now, and there may not be any food to exchange inside."

The uncle and nephew found a flat place and sat down against a big tree.

Li Weiguo thought of the grain in his Wudi Planting Farm, and it was almost time to harvest it.

"Uncle, I'm going to the back to relieve myself!"

Li Dahe looked up at him in the moonlight: "Are you scared?"

"No, I just want to make it easier!"

"Go ahead! Don't go too far, okay?"

"Ai!"

Li Weiguo walked in the dark for more than five meters, then squatted behind a big tree to check his invincible planting system.

Sure enough, after eight hours, the crops in the Invincible Farm were ripe.

He quickly planted all the seeds again, this time planting wheat!

After yesterday, the crops in his invincible storage space doubled again.

Wheat: 2000 jin.

Corn: 3600 kilograms.

Potatoes: jin.

Pumpkin: 3960 kilograms.

Peanuts: 2000 kilograms.

Sweet potatoes: 4000 kilograms.

Li Weiguo’s greatest sorrow now is that he cannot eat enough even though he has so many things to eat.

It seems that he will have to do more work in the black market tonight.

He narrowed his eyes and clicked on the Invincible Processing and Manufacturing Factory.

"Tong, how do I use this factory? I want to process 1,000 kilograms of cornmeal and 1,000 kilograms of flour."

[Host, directly click on the invincible processing factory, find the crops that need to be processed from the crop column, directly check the weight that needs to be processed, and click on the first-level processing (to form a surface) to complete it. The first-level processing will consume double the experience points! ]

Li Weiguo followed the system prompts and operated step by step.

[Ding! First-level processing (to flour): 2000 kilograms of corn and kilograms of wheat, consuming experience points! ]

[Ding! It is detected that the host has reached the experience value. Would you like to open the primary invincible breeding farm? ]

"Open it, of course. Once the breeding farm is opened, we will have meat to eat!"

[Ding! Open the primary invincible breeding farm, consume some experience points, and there are some experience points left! ]

"Now we have a breeding farm, but I don't know what we can raise there?"

[Host, the primary invincible breeding farm can breed three kinds of animals. The breeds of the animals are obtained by signing in. ]
