Half of the pigs raised by the production team had to be handed over, and the remaining half could be slaughtered and divided among themselves.
A handful of change, a lot of cents, quite a few dimes, but not many dollars.
When I counted them, it came to twenty-eight yuan and fifty cents.
After working so hard all year round, this is all you get.
After packing up, Feng Mian’s stomach growled twice.
She got up at dawn to queue up, and now it's almost noon, and she hasn't eaten anything.
So I quickly took out my cell phone and placed an order for a box of eight-treasure porridge, shrimp cakes and buns.
The New Year is coming soon and the weather is still quite cold, so we have to steam it in a pot before eating.
After eating and drinking, Feng Mian took out the hoe and cleared away the weeds at the door, so that he could buy some vegetable seeds to plant next year.
The three thatched houses were not very impressive, but her yard was not small. With the private plot outside the yard, the space was still quite large.
Lu Lan next door was also weeding. She greeted her with a smile and chatted with her for a while.
Lu Lan was a daughter-in-law who married into the village. After marriage, she and her husband gave birth to a daughter, but her body was damaged and the doctor said she would not be able to have children in the future.
Afterwards, their family of three was separated by her husband's family and forced to live in an abandoned cowshed. The three thatched houses they have now were also earned by the couple through hard work over the past few years.
Like Feng Mian, she is an orphan and grew up with her uncle and aunt.
Probably because they sympathized with each other, he would help the original owner whenever he could, and they had a good relationship.
She had a beaming look on her face that day, probably because her family had a good harvest this year.
At night, Feng Mian was sleeping soundly when he was awakened by a knock on the door.
"who?"
"Aunt, it's me. My parents are fighting again."
This is Lu Lan's daughter.
Feng Mian quickly put on her shoes and went out, only to see Feng Rongrong standing at her door with blood all over her face.
She was startled. "What happened? Where did it hit?"
Feng Rongrong wiped the blood and shook her head, "I'm fine. My nose hit the door when I ran out. It's a nosebleed. Go and see my mom."
Feng Mian hurried to the next room and saw the room full of scattered pots and pans. Feng Rongrong's mother Lu Lan was sitting in the middle of the room with an expressionless face, her hair was messy and her clothes were dirty.
The look in his eyes was empty and scary.
"Sister Lan, what happened?"
Hearing her voice, Lu Lan slowly turned her head and murmured, "I can't live anymore, I can't live anymore."
"It's the day of the redemption, why are you saying such angry words? Could it be..." Thinking of Feng Lao Er's behavior, Feng Mian asked hurriedly: "It's so late at night, could it be that Feng Er Ge stole the food again? Send the food to his parents?"
Lu Lan looked desperate.
Feng Rongrong cried and said, "That's right. As soon as he got the money and food, my dad sneaked into my grandparents' house."
Feng Mian's heart skipped a beat, "How much did you take?"
"There was only a few catties of grain left, and the rest was taken away. The money, meat coupons, and cloth coupons were all taken away as well."
Feng Mian took a breath of cold air.
She was all alone, guarding those ten kilograms of food and she didn't know how she was going to survive. Their family of three only had ten kilograms of food left. Wouldn't someone starve to death?
Feng Laoer, that confused mama's boy, is going too far.
"Wow, wow, wow, I'd rather die." Lu Lan cried.
"Mom, please don't die. What will I do if you die?" Feng Rongrong hugged her and cried with her.
Feng Mian squatted down to comfort them, "Sister Lan, don't say that. Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about Rongrong. If it weren't for you, she would be even more pitiful than me."
Lu Lan turned to look at Feng Mian and cried even louder.
He held Feng Rongrong in his left hand and Feng Mian in his right hand, crying miserably.
"Why do the three of us have such a hard life?"
