Time passed day by day, and until the end of the year, Lu Fengnian still hadn't returned.
At the end of the year, the family compound began to become lively again, and people who had been hibernating began to go out to prepare New Year's goods.
Liu Shuning was no exception. She made an appointment with Liu Shufeng and Aunt Yang to go to the nearby market to buy New Year's goods.
Early in the morning, after breakfast, Liu Shuning went next door to look for Aunt Yang.
"Auntie Yang, are you okay?"
"Okay, okay, let's go."
As soon as they walked out of the door, they ran into Liu Shufeng, who was wearing a thick cotton coat and holding a small basket in her hand.
"You came just in time. I was just about to pick you up."
The market is at the junction of Qingshan Village and Dahe Village. They have to climb over the back mountain to Qingshan Village and then go to the market.
This market is jointly organized by Qingshan Village and Dahe Village. It is designed to make it convenient for everyone to exchange unused or uneaten agricultural products and share what they have.
The year-end market is really lively and full of people.
As soon as they arrived at the market, the three of them separated.
Liu Shuning walked slowly forward alone. She just wanted to see what she could buy in the market so that she could take it out later.
Today's market was quite rich, with pork and old hens for sale. She didn't buy anything she had in her space, but only bought half a basket of frozen pears and walked back.
When we returned to the gathering place, Liu Shufeng and Aunt Yang had not returned yet.
After finding a deserted place, Liu Shuning took out ten kilograms of rice, five kilograms of flour, five kilograms of pork, an old hen, a duck, and a basket of eggs from the space.
If the backpack was full, she would have taken out more things.
Liu Shuning didn't have to wait long before Liu Shufeng and Aunt Yang came back together.
The two of them met at a stall selling pork, and after buying the pork, they haven't been seeing each other since.
"Shuning, did you see the pork seller over there?" As soon as Aunt Yang came back, she showed the pork in the basket to Liu Shuning.
"I saw it. I heard that Qingshan Village will have communal meals starting from the New Year. The village cadres don't want the villagers to eat all the pigs they raised with great effort, so they kill the pigs and sell them at the market for money."
Liu Shuning feels that the village cadres of Qingshan Village are still quite sober and hopes that they can hold on and not falsify production for the sake of political achievements in the past two years.
The idea of producing 10,000 catties per mu is impossible. Even in the later years, wheat and rice could not produce 10,000 catties per mu.
"I heard that our army might also have to eat from a big pot. Try to hide the pots that are not often used in your family, so that you won't be left without a pot when the pots are taken away." Aunt Yang hid the food and clay pots in her home yesterday. Once the iron pot in her home was taken away, she still had other pots to cook with.
"Do you have a place to hide in your house? Do you need my help?" Since Liu Shuning learned how to make mechanisms, she secretly dug a cellar in her room. The exit of the cellar is under her closet and no one can find it.
