"Little sister, hurry up, I have to make coal balls when I get home." Li Chengyi urged.

"We don't have a model, how can we do it?"

"When you go home, just go to Uncle Yang's house to borrow one. When I get home, you can borrow one. I have to dig some yellow mud to come back."

"Second brother, then what am I doing?"

"Just go home to cook. When your meal is ready, we are almost done. Just move quickly! Especially your little brother, don't be tempted on the road!"

After hearing what his second brother said, Li Chengyi threw his schoolbag at him and ran to the dormitory of the textile factory. When he went there, before Yang Kaiwen got off work, Li Chengyi was walking anxiously in front of his yard.

When Yang Kaiwen came back from get off work, he saw him. He thought that something was wrong with the Li family. He took two steps forward and asked, "Chengyi, is there anything in the family?"

"Uncle Yang, you are back. I want to borrow the model of coal balls from your home to use, and I will be able to return it to you tomorrow."

When Yang Kaiwen heard that this was the case, what a simple thing.

"No need to pay it back. I have two of them, both of which are old. I'll give you one to your house. It's convenient to make it in the future. So will you make coal briquettes?"

Li Chengyi thought, yes, no one at home has made this thing! How did it be done?

"Well, Uncle Yang, no one in my family can do this. How do you do it? Can you teach me?"

Coal balls are small balls made of coal powder plus water and loess. They are fuel for cooking and heating, and are mostly black and gray.

Yang Kaiwen explained in detail how to make coal balls, and he didn't let anyone go until Li Chengyi said he remembered them.

After dinner, the whole family made coal balls in the yard. It was so easy to work. Six people went together. Even Grandpa Li rolled up his sleeves and made coal balls with his family.

After the preparation is made, overlap the briquettes under the eaves of the kitchen, water them a few days ago, then cover them with grass, and just take a few pieces when you want to use them.

The coal balls were made, and the only thing the family could see was two eyes moving, and the other places were dyed black by coal ash.

Li Xiaoyu directly released the water from the river and left it for them. She went back to the wing room, went into the space to attract well water, rubbed her body twice before stopping.

From head to toe, washed clean inside and out. Another disguised pill was dissolved again and touched on the exposed skin. Tomorrow, the disguised pills had to be prepared for the family, so that people would not know that the skin color of their family was different from others.

After getting up the next morning, Li Xiaoyu gave the disguise pills to her family and asked them to apply them in time.

When they arrived at school, Wu Shuitao had already talked about it in her seat, and the thrilling process of their trip to the suburbs yesterday.

"Wu Shuitao, you take Teacher Wang's words as an indifferent ear to your ears. Why don't you clean up quickly? Teacher Wang is coming in."

When several people heard that Teacher Wang was coming in, they ran away in a breeze and sat back in their own position to memorize the book obediently.

Seeing that everyone ran away, Wu Shuitao had to sit down and read the text. Before she could finish reading a page, Teacher Wang came in. She couldn't help but be glad that she heard Li Xiaoyu's words, but it turned out that she was not deceived, and it was still true that this was true.

"I had a classmate who went to the suburbs yesterday and stood up for me. Today, people from Hongxing Village came to the school to complain. You are not allowed to go to that village in the future. Have you heard of it?"

"Teacher, if we want to find something to eat, we can't go where we should look for it in the village!"

"If you want to search, you can't go into other people's fields. Whoever wants someone to go in, go find it in another place, you can always find it."

"I heard it!"

Teacher Wang mentioned all the things about Wu Shuitao and others, but did not punish them. Now anyone is not hungry, she will go to find food if she has the chance. Everyone will starve to death, and who will care about those things?

Every day, there are many people going to the suburbs to find food, which means they have to compete with the villagers for resources, and of course they will not be welcomed.

People are often driven out of the village area. When everyone sees this, they won’t work. If they go on, what supplies will they find when the people die?

Some people think of exchanging money or gold and silver with the villagers, but the villagers are extremely short of food. Looking at the gold and silver jewelry, although they like it, they are neither eaten nor drunk. The villagers unanimously deny the use of food exchange, even red potatoes.

If you can't get what you eat or find what you eat, someone will set your mind in the river.

"Village Chief, do you know how deep the river is?" asked Liu Kangping, a man wearing a patch.

"This river is at least twenty meters deep, so it's not that easy to continue. You want to ask if there are any fish here! To be honest, there must be fish in the river, but we don't have tools! Looking at this river every day, people are almost worried."

The man who spoke pondered for a while and said to the village chief: "Then how about our partnership? It's said to the outside world that it was fishing in your village. We just watched the fun. After we got it, we scored 50 points. How about it?"

The village chief walked around in the same place with his hands behind his back, and after a while, he said, "Okay, that's it! Take your people over and get ready, and we will take action."

With the cooperation between the two sides, about 500 kilograms of fish were fished from the river, including big and small fish. Both sides shared the spoils on the spot and each took their own portion to leave the riverside.

Some people cooked the fish they brought back for food, while others took the fish to the Nanhei Market to exchange for coarse grains, so that the family could have two more days.

Li Xiaoyu also heard about the people in the county town and the people in Hongxing Village to catch fish. She did not pay much attention to this matter. Their things were far worse than the fish in her empty space.

What she didn't expect was that she had a fuss with the people in Hongxing Village so fiercely that she could abandon her past grudges and work together.

It is true that in the face of interests, there are no eternal enemies and no eternal friends.

In November, more and more people dropped out of school in the school, and many people had to drop out of school because their families could not get food. This time, they were getting farther and farther away from school and they never had the opportunity to walk into the school.

In the middle of the year, the school announced the suspension of classes, and the school had to suspend classes due to food problems. As for when classes will be announced separately!

Those who came out of the countryside to study all brought their household registration and food relationships that they moved to school back to the countryside. This suspension of classes caused most of the students to be lost, and some even disappeared after they returned.

High school students are old enough to get married and have children. For those who don’t know when they will resume classes, the only thing that is most important is to survive.

Li Xiaoyu and his sister returned to the courtyard with their schoolbags dying. The household registration of the three brothers and sisters was already under Li Ma's household registration, so they no longer had to move back to Banzhulin.
