Chapter 2 The Age of Famine

Lin Yuan’s home is a typical northern farmyard, with three large blue brick tiled houses in Chaoyang. When he was built, he thought his home would be imported, so he specially divided the main hall into several small bedrooms.

The east cubicle was the new house when her parents were still alive. She has never lived in anyone since her mother disappeared, and the west cubicle was where she and the old lady sleep.

The entire large yard occupied almost half an acre of land. Except for the warehouse and kitchen on both sides close to the main hall, the old lady dug up soil and planted vegetables.

Lin Yuan, who was cured of illness, got the old lady's permission and let her out of the house to bask in the sun while the weather is good.

Sitting on a small stool leaning against the courtyard wall, Lin Yuan was drowsy due to the warm sun.

The old lady sat aside with a basket, looking at her while placing the soles of her shoes, and from time to time she rushed to the old hen who was eager to peck her.

"You said that you are going back and forth these days? A team in front of me notified the people's commune to be established, saying that they were not allowed to raise chickens at home, and they had to hand them over to the production team, and even the private land had to be taken back. I don't know what these people are thinking, and life just happened to be over. Everything is all for the public. Isn't it even worse than before liberation?"

Old Mrs. Luo, who came to visit her, complained quietly while placing the soles of her shoes. She felt unhappy when she thought that the chickens and ducks she raised were taken away.

"No, our family is counting on the chickens we raise to lay eggs to nourish our bodies. This time the little girl was so hot that she scared me. She was already weak. If she didn't even have to eat eggs, how could she live this life?"

Nowadays, no villagers who received this news did not complain. The old lady felt a little upset when she thought it was inconvenient to give her granddaughter an egg in the future.

"But it's not all bad. Our commune was established late. I heard that other places that had already built the commune now eat big pots of rice, big white steamed buns and oily meat and vegetables, which is just enough to nourish your granddaughter."

"There is this good thing? Our landlords didn't necessarily eat so well every meal. This commune could eat like this after it was established? Where did we get so much food?"

The old lady was a little disbelief after hearing the old sisters' words.

Old Mrs. Luo didn't believe it very much. She and the old lady worked as maids in the big landlord's house in the town in their early years, but they knew that hundreds of people in a village would have to consume hundreds of kilograms of grain a day if they eat so openly.

As for the harvest in their village, even if the public grain is not paid, there is not enough food. What's more, the satellite has been released this year. The yield per mu of 5,000 kilograms is almost gone, and she can't figure it out.

"The remaining grain we have mixed with wild vegetables will make you feel full. If we hand over the grain to the commune, we can eat white steamed buns. I will definitely be happy. I may not say that when we have finished the food, the country will deliver it to us again. I heard that the harvest in other places this year is also very good. Some of them have a yield of 80,000 kilograms per mu. We are communism and we can definitely be evenly matched from other places."

"Swish, you don't know what's going on? Our team leader, Lao Guo, has blown up two or three hundred kilograms per mu to five thousand kilograms. This is what we are like here, and other places are not sure about the same."

When the old lady thought of this, she was not very confident in the upcoming commune big pot rice. If she ate all the food she had saved for a year early, what would she do next?

The whole country is in the commune, and the same is true in other places. The country cannot take care of it, and then it will inevitably cause famine again.

"It has not rained a drop of rain since autumn. In previous years, it should have snowed just after winter. But now it is almost December and there is no movement. The wheat seedlings in the fields are also starting to lack water. If this continues, 80% of the harvest will be affected next year."

The old lady couldn't help but feel more and more uneasy when she remembered the severe drought in the past four years.

Lin Yuan woke up from the confused feeling when he heard the old lady's muttering, and wanted to tell the old lady loudly that she should prepare early.

This place was greatly affected. Not only did it not snow before the New Year, but it only took a few drops of rain until the beginning of spring, and soon the drought became again.

This year, the winter wheat yield was quite severe, but due to the great leap, people were already crazy. In order to strive for performance, the team leader Lin Laoguo reported that the yield per mu was higher than this year. After deducting public grain, not only did there be no surplus grain left, but the village owed the state's public grain, but it was impossible to pay the state's public grain.

This great famine of "three parts natural disasters, seven parts man-made disasters" kicked off. By the end of 1962, dozens of men, women, young and old in the village starved to death!

Lin Yuan thought of the future she saw when she was half asleep and half awake, and couldn't help but tremble, and her little face, which was originally slightly red from the sun, was scared to death.

Although Lin Yuan encountered a bad father in her previous life, she was in a good era. Except for her stepmother who was a bad father in junior high school, she lived in a school after being admitted to high school, and supported herself with scholarships and writing online articles.

After graduating from college, she completely got rid of the vampires of the whole family. She also lived a good life in the years she lived alone and never treated herself in bad terms with food and clothing.

When she thought of the great famine that was coming soon, she suddenly became an ant on the hot pan.

Lin Yuan couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable when he thought of the old lady who was starved to death.

Although she is not the original owner, just because of the good deeds of the old lady to her in the past few days, she cannot accept such an ending.

The jade gourd held in the palm of her hand suddenly became hot. Lin Yuan was overjoyed after being surprised. She was almost despairing about whether the golden fingers were present these days. Unexpectedly, the jade gourd, which had not been moving, finally responded.

"Milk, I'll go back to the house."

Lin Yuan jumped up from the stool excitedly and ran into the house. Seeing that she was running too fast, the old lady hurriedly told her to slow down.

Lin Yuan responded and slipped into the west cubicle where he was sleeping, closed the door, holding the still hot jade gourd without blinking.

The portable space must be a portable space where things can be grown, otherwise the plane system where things can be bought and sold is fine!

However, Lin Yuan did not expect anything. After staring at the jade gourd for a long time, she fainted. The next moment, her consciousness was dragged into a small space of twenty square meters. This small space had nothing except a spring in the middle that was emitting water.

Lin Yuan looked at Xiaoquan and couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

But she quickly cheered up again, and the information in her mind told her that the spring was similar to the legendary spiritual spring, but it was just the lowest level spiritual spring. After drinking it, there was no other special effect except strengthening the body.

It is just used to grow vegetables, but it only makes the vegetables grow more energetic and taste better. Such a magical effect as urinating birth and ripening does not exist.

Lin Yuan sighed. It was good to have a strong body Lingquan. Although it was not as good as a space farm where you could farm, it was just right for her.

The original owner was too weak and not only couldn't do the work, but also dragged the old lady down, which made her life unable to survive.

As long as she is in good health, she can not only save money on medicine and supplements, but also work with the old lady to earn centimeters, and her life will always get better and better.

Lin Yuan stumbled and controlled the tea bowl to scoop half a bowl of water from the spring. The next moment, the tea bowl successfully appeared on the table. Looking at the clear water in the bowl, she breathed a sigh of relief.

I picked up the bowl and took a sip. Except for being particularly sweet, I didn't feel anything else.

Lin Yuan poured all the water from the bowl into his stomach without giving up, and felt it for a while. After several minutes, he felt the originally chilly hands and feet warmed up.

Due to premature birth, the weather became a little colder and her hands and feet started to get cold. It was okay during the day, but she couldn't keep warm at night, which made the old lady very worried.

Now this spring water is effective in improving physical fitness, and it also makes Lin Yuan, who is troubled, much easier.

Thinking that the old lady seemed to be in good health, she had always had problems of big and small. This water might be able to better condition the old lady's body, so that she could survive the next difficult period more smoothly.

The spring is a pool the size of a washing basin. Lin Yuan observed for a while and found that although the spring has been emitting water, no drop has spread out. There seems to be an isolation cover around the small pool.

Lin Yuan didn't understand the principle and was not too confused. She looked at this small space that was only the size of a bedroom in the west compartment. She could still use the empty place here as a storage warehouse, but she didn't know if the fresh things would be broken if they were put in.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan ran to the vegetable garden next to the yard, pulled out a fresh garlic sprout and threw it into a small space.

It was time to make lunch in a blink of an eye. At this time, other families in the village were already a little tight, but the Lin Yuan family was still relatively relaxed.

While cooking, she added some spring water to the pot while the old lady was not paying attention, and she didn't know if it was useful to cook like this.

Lin Yuan, who had been drinking water and full, ate a little at noon, which made the old lady very anxious. She felt sorry for her granddaughter, and the old lady who had no appetite, regardless of Lin Yuan's resistance, forced her to feed her a bowl of malt milk semen.
