Chapter 173 Future Arrangements, Filial Piety
Then the police from the police station came over.

When she saw the people from the street office coming, Shi Zhen immediately shut up and stopped sitting on the ground crying.

When she saw the police station people coming, Shi Zhen immediately started to tremble, because she knew what she had done.

Throwing a tantrum and acting like a spoiled brat may be useful to others, but it is of no use to the police.

The street office and the police came over, and the people in the courtyard also felt incredible.

You have to know that this was simply impossible in the past. It was an internal matter of the hospital and no one could call the police.

I guess Shi Zhen thought the same thing! She thought it was the same as before! Otherwise, she wouldn't be so naughty.

Unfortunately, her backer has fallen, and no one in the hospital will help her, or even dare to help her.

There is solid evidence that the cornmeal was directly scattered to the Shi family from the place where Cheng Qiaoyun's mother-in-law dried the cornmeal.

Not to mention the police, even the street office can investigate the matter thoroughly.

The reason why there was a lot of trouble before was mainly because Shi Zhen was throwing a tantrum, but now the street office and the police are here.

Soon, the police seized more than 20 kilograms of cornmeal from Cheng Qiaoyun's home, including the canvas used by Cheng Qiaoyun's mother-in-law to dry the cornmeal.

The rest was simple. Shi Zhen was taken away by the police, and the neighborhood office scolded Shi Shangfei severely.

And those in their families who do not have urban household registration are required to return to the countryside immediately, otherwise they will be forcibly repatriated.

Shi Shangfei was also angry! He was not angry that his mother stole things, but that she stole in the yard.

If the theft was from another courtyard, who would find out?

If no one finds out, these things won't happen.

The cornmeal was found and the people were taken away, so there was no more fun to watch and the onlookers went home.

But the matter is not over yet. Stealing, especially stealing food, how can it end like this?

On the east wing, Ye Xin came to the main hall carrying a pot of food.

"What are you two talking about?" Ye Xin asked with a smile.

"We didn't talk about anything, just asked about this kid's homework." Li Aimin said quickly.

"Yes, son, how is your homework going?" Ye Xin put down the basin and asked.

Li Jiayi rolled his eyes at Li Aimin, turned his head and looked at Ye Xin and said, "Mom, don't worry about my homework."

"Okay, then I won't ask any more questions. But if you don't do well on the test, you won't be allowed to go out and play anymore."

"know."

Li Jiayi can go out for a run every day because he is a good student.

Then the eldest sister came into the house with steamed buns and the second sister came into the house with millet porridge.

Although the turmoil caused by the reduction in grain production has not yet spread to the city, Li Jia's family has become much more low-key.

For example, when it comes to eating, now there is only one dish for each meal, but the portion is relatively large, and they are all served in enamel bowls.

We no longer eat steamed buns made of pure white flour, but now we eat those made of two-grain flour.

It’s just that the steamed buns made from two-grain flour in his house are tastier than the pure white flour buns made by other people’s houses.

It is even said that steamed buns made with corn flour are more delicious than other people’s white flour buns.

This is because the cornmeal their family eats was taken out by Li Jiayi from the space.

Not only that, it is steamed using the method of later generations, so of course it tastes good!

You should know that whether it is white flour or corn flour, they are all processed in space, and it can be said that they are all refined flour.

As for waste, there is not any waste at all. The rest can be fed to pigs, cattle and sheep!

How could it be wasted?

"Mom, starting tomorrow, our family will eat cornmeal. It's best if we eat it in the yard like the people in the yard."

Hearing Li Jiayi say this, Ye Xin frowned and asked, "Son, have you heard something?"

"Mom, do I need to hear this? The cold winter froze a lot of wheat to death, and then a drought came, causing a serious drop in grain production."

"It's not that serious, son. Even if there is a reduction in production, it's only near the imperial capital, not anywhere else."

"Yes! This is the imperial capital. People from all over the country send things here. Even if there is no food in the imperial capital, there is food in other places!"

This is the disadvantage of lack of information. Both Ye Xin and Li Aimin thought that this was only the case near the imperial capital.

This time it is a nationwide situation, especially in Henan Province, where the situation is even more serious.

Because Henan Province started last year, more than a year earlier than other places.

The most serious period in Henan Province also occurred earlier than in other places. Yes, in future generations, if you randomly ask the people of Henan Province which year was the most difficult, I guarantee that 80 percent of them will say it was 1959.

The remaining 20% ​​will say they don’t know, and they really don’t know, because these 20% are young people.

But there is no Internet and no TV to watch it now, and even if there was, I probably wouldn’t be able to watch it.

For example, these things are not reported on the radio.

"Dad, Mom, you can listen to me. This will start in our family from tomorrow."

"All right!"

"Brother, will there be no meat to eat at home in the future?" asked the second sister Li Jialin.

Li Jia was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who told you that there is no meat at home?"

"Didn't you just say that you'll eat cornmeal in the future, and you'll eat it outside. How can you eat meat then?" Li Jiayi looked at her speechlessly and said, "You can't eat it outside, but you can eat it at home!"

"Ugh! What do you mean?"

"We let you eat outside, but we don't let you eat your fill. You can eat half full and then come back home to eat."

"Ah! Is this possible?"

"Why not? We just do it for others to see. Our family is similar to theirs. The most we do is not eat whole grains."

The multi-grain pancake that Li Jiayi was talking about is not the same as those in later generations, but is unique to this era.

For example, corn flour, sweet potato flour, etc. can be used to make steamed corn bread for hitting dogs.

You don't have to eat these, but you can eat everything else, such as sorghum flour. Although the steamed buns made from sorghum flour don't look good, they are very delicious.

You just need to refine the family craftsmanship and then use the methods of later generations to make it, there will be no problem at all.

Aren't the sorghum flour buns sold in the bun shops of later generations also delicious? And the price is much more expensive than the white flour buns.

"Son, you mean to cook two dishes, one to be eaten in front of others, and the other to be eaten at home behind closed doors."

Li Jia nodded and said, "Yes, that's it."

"Okay, I see."

Li Aimin frowned and said, "I wonder how your grandparents and uncle are doing?"

"Dad, don't worry about this. My grandpa and his family must be doing well."

There is definitely drought in Lijia Village, and it is estimated that it will not take long before the river in front of the village will dry up.

But there is definitely no problem with drinking water. Although Qipan Mountain is not big, there are many springs in the mountain.

The water from these springs alone is enough for several Li villages.

And this is talking about the situation after the drought, otherwise there would be much more.

Of course, no matter how much water there is, it is not enough to irrigate the land. If there is no drought, it would be fine. After the drought, the water coming out of the spring will be much less.

The stream where Li Jiayi used to fish flowed out from the mountains. There wasn't much water, but there was always some.

Last year, Li Jiayi told the village chief that he would dig a reservoir at the foot of the mountain before the beginning of spring.

Dam the stream.

As long as Lijia Village does as he says, there will be no shortage of water in the three years.

Hearing what Li Jiayi said, Li Aimin was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed.

Because he knew that since his son said so, he must have been prepared, so he felt relieved.

The weather is not hot now. Although the wheat has been harvested and it is already summer, it is still a bit cool in the mornings and evenings. It is only hot at noon.

The main reason for this is that now there are still four distinct seasons, unlike later times, when there are only two seasons in a year, one summer and one winter.

He was very clear about this. He wore quite thick clothes on the first day and short sleeves on the second day.

This is how the later generations transitioned from winter to summer.

It’s almost the same from summer to winter. I wear half-sleeves on the first day, and it’s suddenly cold on the second day.

It’s as if there is no Spring and Autumn. This is the weather in later generations.

In this era, spring and autumn are very long, and people have to wear spring and autumn clothes for a long time.

Not to mention now, even in the 1980s and 1990s, people still wore thick clothes when they got up in the morning to harvest wheat!

It didn't get warm until mid-morning, and then you could hear someone selling popsicles.

It is the same now. For example, it is night now and Li Jiayi is still wearing a sweater even when he is indoors.

"By the way, son, when is your summer vacation? When you have summer vacation, let's take some time to visit your grandfather's house."

"Dad, it's only the 10th of June, there's still more than a month until the holiday!"

"Ah! It's still so long!"

"Ok!"

There are no holidays during the busy farming season in the city, unlike in the countryside where schools will have a few days off when the crops are harvested.

"Okay! Then let's talk about it when you have your holiday."

"Dad, don't worry. My grandparents are sure they are doing well. Besides, I can go over to see them during the holidays."

Li Jiayi knew that this was his father's filial piety, but it was really unnecessary.

Lijia Village has no shortage of food or water, so there is nothing to worry about.

"All right!"

After dinner, Li Jiayi came out of the house, mainly because it was not dark yet.

After thinking about it, Li Jiayi came to Liao Kai's house and pushed the door open without knocking.

Liao Kai was eating a scrambled egg, some peanuts, a steamed bun made of two-grain flour, and half a bottle of Niulanshan Erguotou.

"Uncle Liao, this is fine! Have a drink."

"Jia Yi is here, come sit down and have a drink with Uncle Liao."

"Come on! I can't drink now." Li Jiayi smiled and shook his head.
