"Don't make it sound so easy. Life is hard for everyone. Beggars are chased by people wherever they go."
After hearing Guan Cheng's words, Jiang He sneered, "Bullshit! People can't survive, how many families have dogs? Even those who have dogs have already skinned the dogs and boiled them to fill their stomachs! Aren't we beggars just looking at people's faces? Do we think we are treated as guests of honor? Don't be kidding! Every time we come to their door, it means that their rations are reduced. It's strange that they welcome us."
At this point, Jiang He said seriously: "Guan Cheng, don't worry. Winter is hard, but isn't it spring now? In spring, the mountains and plains are full of wild grass and vegetables, and the poplars and willows are sprouting. As long as you have hands and feet, you won't let yourself starve to death."
While Guan Cheng and Jiang He were talking, Feng Qingxue remained silent.
Because she knew clearly that she sympathized with these children, but she could not take all of them back home. If she did, they would have nowhere to go, and she could not provide food and clothing for so many people. It would be too conspicuous.
Everyone is unable to get enough food, but he alone has to feed so many people. Even a blind person can sense the trick.
The more experiences you have, the more you understand how precious food is.
Feng Qingxue made up his mind again. After the famine was over and the grain production and supply were eased, he would slowly reduce the grain supply to his family and friends, and take out as little fine grain as possible. If they wanted to fill their stomachs, they would work hard and they could always earn back some food rations, thus reducing the consumption of space materials.
Soon, the conversation between Guan Cheng and Jiang He came to an end. Guan Cheng took his brother Sui Feng Qing Xue away, and the ruined temple would always keep its doors open to the brothers, allowing them to come back at any time.
The words were spoken by Jiang He.
Feng Qingxue smiled. The two children in front of her were really smart.
Jiang He actually said this for her to hear. If life in Guancheng Guanyu was smooth, that would be the best. But if she was not well taken care of, she should leave there and return to the ruined temple.
"Don't worry, Jiang He. If I can't support Guan Cheng and Guan Yu, I won't come to pick them up." Staring at Jiang He, a seemingly cold but actually soft-hearted boy, "I took Guan Cheng and Guan Yu away, but I won't forget you kids. When I have the ability, I will come back to see you."
Jiang He waved his arms in the air a few times. "We are happy for Guancheng and Guanyu that they can live a good life. Who doesn't have to tighten their belts to make ends meet now? You don't have to worry about us!"
That being said, enough is enough.
Guan Cheng carried Feng Qingxue's backpack, while Feng Qingxue held Guan Yu in her arms. The two of them left in front of everyone. After walking for a while and looking back, they could still see children of all ages at the gate of the dilapidated temple.
Seeing them turning around, Zhang Erya and a few other children waved vigorously.
They arrived at Wanglou Brigade in the evening. Father Lu and Lu Tianjun and his brother were already waiting there. When they saw Guan Cheng and Guan Yu, they didn't have time to recount what had happened over the years. They boiled two pots of hot water for them to take a bath.
Guan Cheng washed himself, and Guan Yu was washed by Feng Qingxue. The child woke up on the way and after waking up, he hugged Feng Qingxue and refused to let go.
Taking a bath when you have a fever can actually help reduce your temperature.
The clothes the two brothers wore belonged to Lu Tianjun and Lu Tianzhi. They were washed clean, but they looked empty when they were worn.
Father Lu cooked a pot of brown rice porridge and brought it over. "Eat first, and then we'll talk."
