At 8:30 in the morning, villagers gathered on the empty dam in front of the village committee office, and everyone was chatting in a chat.

"You said, does the commune still have relief food?"

"I think it's okay. If there was food, I'd probably have been sent."

"Even grain seeds have been collected, how could there be still food?"

"Stop dreaming. Now we are purchasing food everywhere to support the north, so we don't care about us."

"But the problem is that we have to lose food too. We can't let us suffer from hunger as well."

"Hey, I can't live this day."

"It seems that the price of a grain store cannot be reduced anymore. I still think that it will always drop after waiting for a while."

"Don't expect that if the grain shop doesn't take the opportunity to make more money at this time, how can it even lower the price?"

"Hey, the price is too high. How can we country people afford it?"

"How can I live this life? If there is no food, my family will be out of food."

"Who is not? Our family has changed to two meals during this period."

"If it weren't for the time when the mountains were growing wildly, we would probably have no food to eat."

"Now it's almost finished picking up. Let me see, our team can't hold on for long."

"Things shouldn't be that bad, right? Our brigade still has wheat. When the harvest comes, it will be enough to eat a big pot rice for a while."

"Hmph, the brigade has so many mouths, how many days can I eat that little wheat?"

......

The members of the Qi family also arrived at the village committee courtyard early, but because they were not very familiar with the villagers, they did not come up to chat with everyone, but stood behind the crowd and listened silently to everyone's chat.

Because there are many people on the courtyard and everyone is chatting, everyone does not pay much attention to the Qi family behind the crowd.

Qin Tianru's eyes drooped slightly, but she didn't expect that the situation in the brigade had reached this point.

Since she arrived at the production brigade, she has been almost at two points and one line. She either goes up the mountain or stays at home and rarely goes out to contact the villagers, so she is not very clear about the current situation in the village.

In addition, she doesn't like to join in the fun, listens to gossip, ignores the affairs outside the window, and only cares about her own acre of land.

Now that she heard everyone's discussion, she realized the seriousness of the situation.

Although she had known that such a day would be there, when this day really came, she still felt a little helpless.

"Oh~"

Shen Yuerong sighed lightly, feeling a little for a moment.

Faced with such a large-scale disaster, their family is powerless. In order to ensure the safety of the family, they can only hide their tails and act in a low-key manner.

Qi Qing and Qi Jun's expressions were not much better. After hearing everyone's conversation, the brother and sister realized that there seemed to be a big difference between their family's life and the lives they live.

At first they thought that their lives would definitely become hard when they moved from the provincial capital to the countryside, but in fact, their living standards did not get worse.

On the contrary, because of their sister-in-law, they eat almost every meal in their family, which is particularly delicious and satisfying. In addition to doing some farm work, they now have no worries about food and clothing. They even have more fulfillment and freedom than they used to live in the city.

Because there has not been much change from the past, the siblings have not paid much attention to the living standards of the villagers, after all, they have not had much contact.

If it weren't for hearing the villagers' comments now, the siblings would probably not have the awareness yet.

Qi Qing's face showed a hint of timidity. She suddenly felt that their family was a little dangerous? After all, their family's cellar contained a lot of food.

Qi Qing lowered her head and looked at her pretty well-proportioned figure again. No, she could no longer eat as much as she wanted!

Does her outfit look like she can't eat well?

If you continue eating like this, when others see her figure, they will definitely know that her family is not short of food.

Wouldn't that be too eye-catching?

Starting today, she must reduce her appetite and not expose her wealth.

Qi Yuanhua, who was standing beside him, was extremely silent and looked extremely serious.

In short, after hearing the comments from the villagers, the Qi family's mood was also affected to varying degrees.

Soon, Qi Zhongkang stood on the stone platform and raised his hand to signal. Seeing this, the villagers immediately calmed down, and the scene suddenly became silent.

This move was quite straightforward and decisive. It was not that the villagers became well-trained or were particularly honest and obedient, but that the captain on the stone platform was too scary.

Everyone looked at it and closed their mouths in fear. Qi Zhongkang was tense with a serious expression, frowning, and a feeling of depression and urgency on his body.

This feeling made everyone feel a little nervous.

Could it be that something bad happened again, right?

The famine in the north has exhausted them. The food problem has not been solved yet. If something serious happens, what will happen to them?

Among the crowd, some villagers couldn't help but feel sad and panic on their faces.

For a moment, the entire courtyard fell into a tense and depressing atmosphere. Everyone seemed to be afraid to breathe, let alone speak.

Qi Zhongkang, standing on the stone platform, was in a heavy mood and didn't know how to tell everyone this bad news.

So the crowd became quiet, but Qi Zhongkang was not calm. He stood on the stone platform and looked at everyone indescribably.

After about a few dozen seconds of quiet, Qi Zhongkang also realized that he had been silent for a long time.

"Friends, if you have something to be announced, I just received the document issued by the above. From now on, all private transactions will be prohibited and all personal shops and restaurants will be closed. If anyone violates the regulations, it will be considered as speculative!"

Before Qi Zhongkang could finish his words, the crowd suddenly burst into trouble!

"My mother~ What are you going to do!"

"Captain, what does this mean?"

"That's right, why didn't I understand?"

"Captain, why should individual transactions be prohibited? This means that in the future, our neighbors can no longer buy or sell anything to each other?"

"Captain, the store is open very well, why should it be closed?"

"If all the shops are closed, where will we buy things in the future?"

"I just want to know what speculation is?"

"Can we break the law by selling something?"

"Captain, please explain it to everyone, what's going on?"

"Oh, it's over, it's over now. How can we buy food in the future~"
