Before dawn, Ji Xia brought people to the cave entrance.
Several large rocks block the entrance to the cave, and from the traces, it can be seen that the cave was once sealed tightly.
This was Ji Xia's doing. Judging from the expressions of Yang Muchun and others, her confusion should have been overcome.
"Master Muchun, everyone, this is a cave I stumbled upon. It must be the food stored in there before Xiaori's evacuation. I guess the evacuation was so sudden, and they probably didn't have the means to transport the food away, so they stayed here."
Looking at the considerable amount of food inside, Yang Muchun and others were so excited that their faces turned red and they were trembling all over.
The harvest this year was not good. At the time of autumn harvest, after paying all the public grain taxes to the commune, the production team had very little money left. The grain distributed to each household might not be enough to survive this winter, even if they had to eat only thin food every day.
In the winter in Heilongjiang Province, as soon as it snows, it becomes difficult to find food outside. Once the food runs out, it is not far from starving to death.
Every winter, people in the production team starved to death.
This year, I don’t know whose turn it will be.
But with this food, when it is distributed, every household will wish they could get 50 to 60 kilograms of food, and by next spring they will wish they could eat dry food every meal. What a good life these days will be!
"Xia Xia, you have done such a great thing. Grandpa Muchun doesn't know how to thank you!" Yang Muchun burst into tears. Only those who have been hungry know how precious food is.
If it were him, if he found such a cave full of food, he might not be willing to take it out.
"Xia Xia, Master Muchun is kneeling down to kowtow to you. You are the starving Bodhisattva of the production team!"
Yang Muchun is two generations older than Ji Xia, and he knelt down when Ji Xia was told to do so.
The rest of the people also knelt down willingly at this time. They knelt down heavily, bent their bodies devoutly, and wanted to prostrate themselves on the ground to thank the girl who allowed them to survive the winter.
What kind of kindness is needed to be able to selflessly donate food in such difficult times?
The biggest reason why Ji Xia contributed food was that there was simply too much food in her space, and it was useless for her to keep it. It could be said that anything that existed in the world was present in her space.
What does she keep it for?
Although she was cold-blooded, she could not bear to watch others starve and risk their lives to survive the winter while she had warehouses full of food.
Of course, she was not a person who gave away money to everyone she met, like a fool, and ended up getting into trouble.
"Master Muchun, you are all my elders, this is not nice. My father was born and raised in Jijia Village, and I was raised by all of you elders. When I was a child, whose water didn't I drink, whose square table didn't I climb over, and whose vegetable bowl didn't I grab?"
Ji Xia was telling the truth. When she was a child, she loved food. Whenever it was time for dinner and her mother didn't cook well, she would run to other people's homes to make trouble.
Many times, when the grandmothers and aunts were cooking in the kitchen, as soon as they came out, Ji Xia would climb onto their square table and grab the food from the bowls to eat.
Her mother beat her many times for this, and every time she was beaten, the grandmothers and aunts would protect her.
This is a deep memory that remains in Ji Xia's mind. Although the people in the village are very poor, they are very simple and kind.
If there is any problem, it is poverty.
Yang Muchun shook his head, and all his tears were wiped away. "My child, you think so, it's your kindness. You can remember us old guys. In this day and age, you can still give us a bowl of rice to eat, so that we can eat well and survive. This is a great kindness!"
He wanted to kowtow to Ji Xia solemnly, but Ji Xia dared not accept it and pulled him up, "Master Mu Chun, you are shortening my life!"
Seeing that Ji Xia was genuinely frightened, Yang Dazhuang quickly stood up and supported his father. "Dad, we'll remember Xia Xia's kindness. Don't make her feel uneasy. We're her elders, and it would be very difficult for her to do this."
After hearing this, Yang Muchun no longer insisted, and felt a little embarrassed.
Yang Dazhuang explained to Ji Xia, "Xia Xia, don't be afraid. It's really because of what you've done that we don't know how to express our gratitude. We may never be able to repay your kindness.
You know everyone's having a hard time right now. If you don't tell anyone about this rice, no one will know about it. Your family will never be able to finish it all, so why bother giving it out?
Yang Jinhai wiped away his tears and said, "Yes, Xia Xia, this is a great deed! If you don't take it out, no one can say anything wrong about you. But you gave it all to us to eat, so we can support you for the rest of your life."
"Yes, Uncle Mu Chun, from now on, Xia Xia doesn't have to work in the fields. We'll give her full work points every day so she won't go hungry all year round." Yang Nianzu waved his arm. "Do you all agree?"
"agree!"
in unison.
It would be a good thing that you don't have to go to work in the future. You have to know that in today's society, even if you don't eat, as long as you don't go to work, you will be labeled as being out of touch with the working people and you will be criticized.
But the opinions of the masses are the greatest. As long as these people stand on her side and speak for her, no one can do anything to her.
It can be said that this is the biggest benefit.
She could be said to have made a fortune by buying a ton of rice at such a good price.
From then on, she had a legitimate reason not to work.
Of course, she certainly didn't need to be supported by others, but there was no need to say this. If people suspected that she had hidden food, she would be met with jealousy and frame-up.
