This incident has caused widespread panic.
Although the problem was resolved quickly afterward, I was still terrified.
Tan Dingguo was smoking at home, listening to his wife's nagging.
"Honey, even though that's what the notice says, I still feel incredibly uneasy."
Although Xiao Huan graduated from junior high school last year and failed to get into high school, the town said they would find her a job, but Xiao Huan has never been interested in working.
Hearing her husband's words, Xing Lanhua felt incredibly stifled.
Tan Dingguo didn't even blink. "What are you afraid of? No one in our family has ever been educated. Besides, going back eight generations, we've been poor peasants. I'd like to see who dares to cause trouble for no reason."
Xing Lanhua listened to her husband's words and thought about it carefully, and it seemed that he was right.
Anyway, it's always better to be cautious.
Although her husband said that, it didn't stop Xing Lanhua's mutterings from reaching Tan Dingguo's ears.
Tan Dingguo heard this but remained silent.
He actually received another notification, but that notification almost made his head explode.
He conducted a thorough investigation and found that there were very few landlords or rich peasants in the entire Xishan Village.
However, if he doesn't hand one over, he'll be the one who gets criticized later.
After much deliberation, Tan Dingguo decided to wait a little longer.
In any case, in previous years when we handed over our grain quotas, we would get scolded by the leaders almost every year, and then be secretly mocked by the captains of the various brigades.
This time, I'll just stick to my old ways and be thick-skinned. If I get scolded, so be it!
When evening came, Fu Hongxing rushed back, exhausted.
Ning Jing didn't want to ask him too many questions. She scooped up some hot water and let him wash up a little. He didn't even eat dinner before lying down on the kang and falling asleep immediately.
When Fu Hongxing woke up, it was already midnight.
Seeing his wife sleeping restlessly beside him, he felt a pang of heartache.
After carefully helping his wife lie down, Fu Hongxing cautiously opened the door and went into the kitchen to see if there was anything they could eat.
Fu Hongxing originally planned to cook it himself, but when he lifted the lid of the pot on the stove, he found that there was still food that he had cooked that night inside.
Stir-fried pumpkin vines with garlic cloves, a bowl of egg drop soup, a boiled egg, and a large bowl of mixed grain rice.
He didn't care that the food on the steamer rack in the pot had gotten cold after the fire went out.
I poured the egg drop soup into the mixed grain rice, along with the pumpkin vine, and then slurped the whole bowl of mixed grain rice into my mouth.
He didn't eat the boiled eggs; he put them in a bowl and set them aside, intending to save them for the children the next morning.
Back in the room, just as I was about to lie down, I saw Ning Jing groggily open her eyes.
Ning Jing's throat was a little hoarse because she had just woken up.
"Are you hungry? There's food simmering in the pot!"
Seeing that Fu Hongxing was about to lie down, she tried to get up to heat up his food, but Fu Hongxing pressed her down.
"Don't get up, I've already eaten."
Fu Hongxing said softly.
As she spoke, she covered Ning Jing with the thin blanket. Now that the autumn harvest was over and eighteen days of hot summer had passed, the weather was getting colder day by day.
Although you need to wear short sleeves during the day, it's best to cover yourself with a light blanket at night to avoid catching a cold.
Hearing Fu Hongxing say that, Ning Jing grunted, lay back down, yawned, closed her eyes heavily, and fell asleep.
