Ning Jing was worried about where to get her two items when the village chief sent his son to deliver them to her.
Thinking of this, a smile immediately appeared on her face.
"Thank you so much. Could you please help me move it to the kitchen side as well?"
In order to keep the children from knowing exactly what the village chief's family had given them, Ning Jing could only tell Tan Qingzhou and Tan Qinghe.
Tan Qingzhou and his brother didn't think much of it, since Ning Jing's family really didn't have a single able-bodied person.
After thinking about it, I figured it would only take a short while to deliver it to the kitchen, so even if someone saw it, they wouldn't be able to say anything.
He called to his second brother, and each of them carried a sack into the yard.
Seeing Ning Jing's instructions, he put the sweet potato directly into the kitchen without looking around, said hello to her, and left.
Ning Jing looked at the two sacks of sweet potatoes on the ground and couldn't help but smile.
"Xiuhua, Tiedan, all of you come and help."
After she took out the two items she had hidden in the rice jar and placed them next to the two sacks of sweet potatoes, she shouted loudly.
Xiuhua actually knew that Qingzhou's older brother and his group had come to see her sister-in-law. She didn't want to see them, knowing that her sister-in-law had sold her job to the village chief's family.
Then, he called Xiuchun to call his sister-in-law, and turned around and went into the house.
As she went into the house, she also dragged Tie Dan and Siya inside.
However, even though she went inside, she kept her ears perked up, listening to the sounds outside.
Upon hearing his sister-in-law's shout, Tiedan was the first to rush out.
Seeing Tie Dan's impatient look, Xiu Hua bit her lower lip and followed him out.
Before they even reached the kitchen door, they heard Tie Dan's exclamation.
However, the exclamation was abruptly muffled and cut off halfway through.
Xiuhua immediately quickened her pace and ran into the kitchen.
Xiuchun and Siya followed behind her, entering the kitchen one after the other.
Tie Dan covered his mouth tightly with both hands, his eyes wide open as he stared at the ground.
Following Tie Dan's gaze, Xiu Hua also looked down at the ground.
But on the ground were two large bags of sweet potatoes that had already been opened, and two other bags next to them, one clearly containing flour, and the other containing powder.
They, like Tie Dan, stared wide-eyed.
"This...this is...food!??"
So much grain?
That's great! With this grain, plus some wild vegetables we dug up, they can eat well until after the autumn harvest, and maybe even longer.
As long as the grain is distributed after the autumn harvest, we can get through this winter.
Thinking of this, Xiuhua felt a warm sensation on her cheeks, and when she wiped them with her hand, her hand was covered in tears.
"Alright, this is only half the grain. We still haven't given you the money and the other half of the grain."
Let's hide this grain well first. Oh, and Xiuhua, this bag of milk powder is something I specially asked the village chief to get for me; you have to hide it carefully.
Ning Jing took out the milk powder from the sealed bag and handed it to Xiu Hua.
Milk... milk powder?
Xiuhua's hands trembled as she took the bag of milk powder.
She had heard about this thing from her uncle's grandson, her own nephew, Fu Jianguo.
I heard that in the county town, the babies don't drink breast milk; they all drink this kind of formula.
When soaked in water, it releases a wonderful milky aroma.
If this is indeed baby formula, then the twins won't have to worry about not having anything to eat.
"Tie Dan, scoop some out of this bag of flour. If there are any wild vegetables left from today's digging, mix them together and make a few pancakes."
The rest were all put in the jar.
The remaining two bags of sweet potatoes, one bag is kept inside the house, and the other is kept here.
However, remember to take out ten jin (2.5 kg) and return it to Sister Guihua.
