It was towards the end of November when the temperature started to get a bit cold.
Father Chen had a heavy face, and Mother Chen also ate less every day and stopped working. She just ate until she was full.
The team leader, the secretary and the accountant also had worried looks on their faces. They could not organize the villagers to go deep into the forest and take home all the food they could.
The other villagers seemed to know the situation as well. Every household reduced their food intake and went out to find food and chop firewood quietly, bringing them back home before winter.
The Chen family also went back.
Su Xia did not go. She had a lot of food in her own space. If she dug one less basket of wild vegetables, the villagers would have one more basket.
Su Xia wanted to travel through time and space, and the woman came over and took out a ton of food, and the others were not curious.
Moreover, all the people were in rags, while the women were dressed in bright clothes and had rosy faces. This was telling everyone, “I have food.”
The strangest thing is that there is no fighting, but they all live together indifferently.
Su Xia thought about how she had her own space, but she was still living a stingy life. She felt so sad!
Su Xia was not idle either. Her new house was still missing a lot of things, and she had to take them home when others were not around.
Our house is in a remote location, and there is only the Chen family nearby, so my family won't come here easily.
So Su Xia could clean up with confidence.
While eating, Su Xia was thinking about how to implement her plan.
Sitting on a specially made children's chair, she struggled with the porridge in her bowl, "The food my mother cooks is getting more and more delicious..."
For breakfast, Su Xia cooked some rice and meat porridge. She put the chopped meat into the pot and stir-fried it, added a little soy sauce for color, then added water and washed rice, brought to a boil over high heat, then simmered over low heat, and added salt and chopped green onions five minutes before serving.
Xiuxiu now feels that she is the happiest girl in the village. She can have enough food to eat, biscuits, candies to eat, and clean clothes...
I like my mother now. She can feed Niuniu well every day and she lives in such a nice house. I hope she can stay like this.
While pushing the spoon in, she grinned foolishly!
Su Xia had finished eating long ago and was waiting for Xun Xun to finish and clean up. Seeing this unfortunate child not eating but grinning foolishly, she was speechless.
Hey... Hey...
What to do, I can pamper you now.
After finally finishing the meal, Su Xia put everything away. Now there was only this big pot in the kitchen, and nothing else. Su Xia had to get breakfast from the space early.
Since she had a kitchen, Su Xia could go to the county town to buy food with confidence this time.
When the villagers came to visit before, Su had planned to let everyone know that there was nothing in his house, so that even if Su Xia brought back a lot of things, the villagers would not say anything.
Su Xia didn't want this to happen either. She looked at the weather and knew that the harvest next year would not be good. Historically, good harvests only occurred in the second half of 1961.
Su Xia always reminded herself to keep a low profile. After buying everything, Su Xia tried not to go out. Even Xi Xi would not let her go out. She would play with toys by herself in the yard or with Daya and the others.
I can go out from the backyard and charge myself to get an electric shock. When I'm alone at home, I can watch TV series and watch some movies.
While Su Xia was planning, she was dressing Niu Niu. It was getting cold, so she had to wear something thicker. She wore a beige thermal underwear inside, a babydoll shirt, a green jacket outside, black pants, a pair of fleece socks on her feet, and cloth shoes outside.
Su Xia used pieces of cloth to sew patches on some parts of the clothes and pants, and did the same on the shoes.
Su Xia also looked a bit smart.
I put on the outfit and turned around, feeling very satisfied. It didn't feel cold and it looked good.
"Oh, oh, I'll take you to grandma's house later. I'm going to the county town to buy some things. We need a lot at home."
Xun Xun was not afraid. She put a handful of candies in her pocket and went out on her own. There was a gate on the west wall that Xun Xun could open by herself.
Su Xia felt relieved when she saw this, she turned around, took out a piece of paper and wrote down what she needed, put on her clothes, put on the backpack and went to the county town.
As usual, it took half an hour to change the bicycle. I went to the post office to pick up the mail and mail it, telling the "cash machine": the house has been cleaned, my parents are in good health, and my mother eats well and sleeps well... and so on..."
Su Xia thought that if she had the chance, she would bring Xun Xun to the county town and take a photo of her and send it to her father. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if her father didn't recognize her when he came back.
After that, I started shopping. There wasn't much to buy, actually. I bought some non-staple food, biscuits, cakes, black fungus, vermicelli... and dried goods at the supply and marketing cooperative.
Carrying it on your back, you walk through a deserted alley, first putting the things inside into the space, then taking out the bicycle ticket, watch... one of each, and changing them one by one - safety
I changed myself into a men's coat and shoes, and went to the black market. When I was about to leave, I took a scarf and covered my head, revealing my two big eyeballs.
When I walked in, I saw the man who exchanged tickets last time. I went up to him and exchanged 20 industrial coupons for them. I didn't have any of them, so I stocked up some.
Then he accidentally revealed the bicycle ticket, and the man's eyes lit up. He took Su Xia into the alley.
When Su Xia came out, there were 500 more coins in the space.
Thinking that she still had several more, as well as a bicycle watch... etc., Su Xia was very happy. After the famine was over, she would find a chance to deal with them slowly. Now these were enough for Su Xia.
Su Xia looked around the black market and found nothing she needed, so she went home.
When Su Xia rode his bike to the woods near the village, he went straight in, put away his bike, took out a twelve-pound quilt from the space, put it in the backpack, covered it with a rag, and went home.
Su Xia was walking on the road in the middle of the village, and she greeted the elders she saw along the way.
Most of the villagers had a different opinion of Su Xia after visiting the house last time. Although she was a spendthrift, she was good at home and outside, and raised the best children in the village.
Except for some jealous people, this is not annoying.
As Su Xia walked into the middle of the village, she heard a few skinny, dark-skinned young women in patched clothes glancing towards her and muttering.
Su Xia ignored him. Since there was nothing wrong with him, she couldn't move to cause trouble. She didn't even say hello and just walked past him without even looking at him.
One of the people in the middle couldn't help but said to the others: "Some people are lucky. They don't do anything and rely on their bodies to support them. Unlike us, we have to work every day to have enough food!"
The woman standing in the middle, with a jealous look on her face and saying sour words, is Su Lanxiu, the daughter of Su Xiaben Village's family.
She has always been jealous of Su Xia because she eats well, wears well and can go to school, while she works every day, doesn't have enough to eat, doesn't have warm clothes and is beaten.
After finally getting married and having a child, she knew that Su Xia had never been able to get married, and she had been gloating behind her back.
After Su Xia married Chen Jianguo, she found that Chen Jianguo was more successful than her own son, and Su Xia was supported without having to earn work points, which made her very jealous.
He can satisfy his vanity by slandering Su Xia with other people in the village.
Su Xia looked back and saw, oh - this is the person who said bad things about me at home last time. He was just worried that he would not have the chance.
Just walked over and said: "I can't help it. I am kind-hearted and I just want to love and care for you, and make money to spend.
Look, my Jianguo sent it today," he said, taking out the envelope from his pocket and showing it to several people in a panic.
Su Lanxiu's face was distorted with jealousy.
"Some people's faces... look like shoe soles, so dirty and smelly! Instead of wasting time on farting, you might as well go home and clean your shoe soles!"
After scolding, Su Xia went back home and was very busy.
Several women looked at Su Lanxiu, who was breathing heavily with anger. They were also jealous of Su Xia. It could be said that all the women in the team were jealous, but they would not slander their family like this woman.
Several people decided at the same time to stay away from each other and stop socializing.
Su Xia didn't care about the lawsuits for a few days. She started to get busy since she returned home.
