Chapter 321 Winter Idleness 1
It was heard that a pair of bad elements had come to the cowshed, and several people had heard with their own ears the words of the cadres who had exiled Uncle Xu and his wife. Therefore, except when they needed manure for work, the villagers walked around the cowshed for fear that the presence of the bad elements would bring them trouble.
In this way, Feng Qingxue and others could have some peace and quiet, and they could eat meat without worrying about the aroma spreading outside and being smelled by others.
However, in order to save Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu, all the white flour and eggs in the house were gone, and there was only one piece of bacon left. There were still dozens of kilograms of rice left, but there were two more mouths to feed in the family. Feng Qingxue used rice to make porridge, and usually cooked with coarse grains.
Sweet potato porridge, pumpkin porridge, dried sweet potato porridge, corn grits rice...
Multi-grain pancakes, cornmeal steamed bread...
Fortunately, at this time, I received letters from Huo Beiting and Lu Jiang, as well as letters containing valuables sent by Cao Hui and Wang Xinru before they left.
They first thanked Feng Qingxue in the letter, and asked her to take care of their son. Finally, they asked her to send all the food coupons they had saved recently and would ask someone to send them every month in a few months, because they had a mission and the deadline was uncertain.
Both of them were in the army, and they had no elderly or young in their families. Although they had helped their comrades and their families, due to food shortages, they tried to save food as much as possible and sent it to the northwest, so they saved up no less than 100 kilograms of food coupons, including flour coupons and coarse grain coupons. They also remitted 100 yuan, and the package contained two cans of malted milk, three cans of luncheon meat, some cloth and the two's new and old military uniforms.
"Gangzi, your parents have sent you things and money. Are you happy?" Feng Qingxue touched Song Gang's head.
She often mentioned Cao Hui and Wang Xinru in front of Song Gang. Although Song Gang had never met them, he had a deep impression of them. He remembered that his parents were always thinking about him. Because they were busy, he temporarily lived in the Lu family.
"Happy!" Song Gang nodded his head.
He was young and often went hungry, which led to malnutrition and slow development. A four-year-old was about the same as a two-year-old. He was far less intelligent than Feng Qingyun. After uttering two words, he went to play with Feng Qingyun without even looking at the things on the table. He had no idea what these things meant.
Feng Qingxue smiled, put it away, and opened a can of luncheon meat for everyone as a snack at noon.
"Wow, we all benefit from Gangzi!" Several children were so excited that they picked up their chopsticks quickly.
The food coupons sent by Cao Hui and Wang Xinru greatly alleviated the family’s food pressure.
She asked Guan Cheng and Lu Tianjun to take money and tickets to the city to buy ready-made grains directly. When she cooked, she took out some grains from the space and mixed them in. Half of a bowl of noodles came from the space, and her family couldn't tell at all. This not only filled her family's stomachs, but also slowed down the consumption of food at home.
Unlike other families, she made sure her family had enough to eat even during the winter break. It was hard to stay healthy for the old and the young if they didn't have enough to eat.
It is not quite correct to say that there was idleness in winter, because Wang Zhengguo arranged some strong laborers to dig rivers, and asked the team leaders of each production team to arrange other male and female laborers to fertilize the crops, that is, to transport the manure accumulated in the cowshed to the fields and spread a thin and even layer on them.
Father Lu, Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu all had to work, and in order to earn work points, Lu Tianjun and Guan Cheng also followed suit.
Even in winter, the area around the cowshed was filled with a foul stench.
Amid the stench, many pregnant women broke the ice formed by the feces and shoveled the feces onto the cart one shovel at a time.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
