She was robbed by the leader of the family and had three children.

Chapter 716 Food Crisis

Huo Yisheng didn't come back because he led his team out to transport grain.

This year, grain production in the entire Wumu District has decreased, and almost every village is unable to pay the public grain tax. Only a small part of the granary in the city is left.

Because the purchase limit of 5 kilograms of grain was imposed just the day before yesterday, the bottom line of the people was suppressed and the grain was not released.

But at the same time, he also applied for food to be loaned out from other places, and Huo Yisheng went to receive it.

Two days later, Huo Yisheng finally came back.

He felt sorry for his wife and didn't want her to stand outside for a long time in the heavy snow, so he asked Xiao Gao to come home in advance to tell him the news.

Therefore, Ye Shu and her friends were able to line up at the very front of the line. As soon as the grain store opened, they rushed in to buy grain.

Besides, they left home to line up, so naturally other people saw them.

They are all smart people, so there is no need to say much, just follow the queue and it will be over.

That night, Huo Yisheng came back.

He looked exhausted and not in a good mood. It seemed that something had happened to him.

Ye Shu asked with concern, "Is the relocation of the slum next door a difficult issue?"

Things in their army cannot be told to outsiders, so Ye Shu picked topics that could be talked about to show his concern for him, in fact, it was also to take care of his emotions and divert his attention.

At this time, the children in the family had fallen asleep. Huo Yisheng was taking a bath in a wooden tub, and Ye Shu was rubbing his back.

There was a kang and a coal stove at home, and Huo Yisheng also installed plastic film for warmth, so the bathroom was not cold at all.

Hearing his wife's question, Huo Yisheng grabbed her arm and put it around his neck. He said in a tired tone, "The food supply in Wumu District is a big challenge this year. It might cause unrest."

Ye Shu was very surprised: "Is it so serious?"

Huo Yisheng hummed, "The food we transferred from elsewhere was ambushed on the way. Fortunately, we arrived in time and the loss was not great."

Ye Shu asked hurriedly: "Did they catch the person?"

Huo Yisheng: "It's the villagers nearby. Their grain harvest has also decreased this year, and they still have to pay a lot of grain taxes. After that, they don't have enough food to eat, so they started taking risks and robbing people along the way."

Ye Shu came from a peaceful era and could not imagine that such a robbery would happen to her.

But then I think about how far away the Ebony District is from the outside world, and it's no exaggeration to say that the emperor is far away. So it doesn't seem surprising that the people here are a little tough.

Ye Shu asked, "So what are you going to do?"

The most fundamental reason is food.

If the people have enough to eat, there will be less unrest.

But now the grain production in the whole region has decreased, so we can only apply for secondment from outside, but there is a limit to this application!

After all, people outside don’t say that there is an abundance of food.

Ye Shu thought for a moment and said, "If I take out all the food I looted from the pirate island, will it be enough to solve the immediate problem?"

Huo Yisheng was stunned and said, "There did seem to be a lot of food on that island, but it wasn't much if it was distributed to the Ebony District."

Besides, Ye Shu had already taken out a part of it before.

At least five or six such islands are needed to store food in order to truly solve the food crisis in the entire Ebony District.

But he frowned and thought, Pirate Island? It seems that this is also a solution.

Ye Shu massaged Huo Yisheng's shoulders to relax him, trying to make him feel at ease.

But she didn't know that the movement of her soft and boneless hands on his body was not to relax him, but to ignite him!

The result of setting the fire was that before Ye Shu could even return to the room, he was caught by him and pressed against the wardrobe.

She lay on the cabinet, enduring his extra thoughts for so many days.

Before going to bed at night, Huo Yisheng told her that he would have to go out again tomorrow. The food in Wumu Town had been obtained, but the food allocated to the wasteland area was still on the way, and he had to go to escort it.

Ye Shu understood and told him to be careful, then asked: "If necessary, I will take out all the food?"

Huo Yisheng nodded: "Okay, don't worry, I'll make the arrangements."

The food in his daughter-in-law's hands is his trump card and also his ace.

Food can be taken out, but it must be taken in a wise manner. People cannot be made to feel that this food is what they naturally deserve, so he must plan this matter carefully.

The next day, the heavy snow that had been falling for nearly a week finally stopped, and there was thick snow everywhere.

Ye Shu and the others asked their children not to go out for the time being, and then they hurried to the yard, collected the top layer of clean snow, melted it, and saved the water for later use.

The children from these families had all experienced things in the wasteland, and they all knew the adults' intentions and were willing to cooperate. Even Sanbao, the most mischievous and disobedient child, stayed at home obediently at this time.

Needless to say, the three siblings of Mrs. Tang's family are good kids. They don't destroy the snow and help to collect and melt it.

They were busy packing the white snow into the house bit by bit when suddenly two children jumped out from the backyard.

The older one is about ten years old, and the younger one is five or six years old.

The two people chased each other and kicked the ball, making it bounce here and there. In a short while, it had covered a large area of snow.

These two children are from Chen Miao's family.

Mrs. Tang was the first to see this and quickly stopped them: "Zhou Hao, Zhou Xiang, stop it! Stop messing around! We need this snow! Don't make it dirty!"

The two brothers seemed not to hear her and ignored her completely, continuing to laugh and pass the ball to each other.

The two of them were not only playing, but they also called out Zhang Junjun from Zhao Jinhua's family: "Come on, the snow has finally stopped, let's play football!"

These naughty kids don’t listen at all when they go crazy. I don’t know if they really didn’t hear it, or if they heard it but pretended not to hear it?

All in all, it was a crazy time.

But Ye Shu and the others had no way to deal with them. Even if they tried to chase them, those kids were as nimble as loaches and ran very fast, making it impossible to catch them.

If I don't catch it, I will have to watch the snow being destroyed, and I will inevitably feel sad.

The main reason is that at this time of year, food is in short supply and food prices have risen. Every household has a limited salary, so if they don’t have enough money, they will naturally save as much as they can.

This snow water looks ordinary, but if you collect it carefully, you can save a lot of money.

The key point is that once they started making a noise, the children who were originally confined at home could no longer bear it and all ran out of the house.

Sanbaoer was the first to try to run to the open space, but was caught by Sister Jin and spanked hard: "If you try to run around, I'll break your legs!"

Sanbao was so frightened that she wanted to cry. She pointed at the three people playing football in the open space and asked tearfully, "Then why are they allowed to play in the snow outside?"

Mrs. Jin gritted her teeth, got ruthless, rolled up her sleeves and rushed down.

I must catch a kid and give him a good beating today!
