Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife

The matter with the Guandi Temple children came to an end, and Feng Qingxue and her sister joined the army of digging wild vegetables and pulling leaves and buds.

With the addition of these children, Feng Qingxue finally felt nervous about food.

She truly saw what locust crossing was like.

Wherever the folks from the Caohu Brigade went, the land was cut clean. Not to mention wild vegetables, there were not even a few weeds left. They could earn work points by handing in five pounds of grass per centimeter, and Wanglou Brigade The regulations are the same.

However, the weeds are not burned out, and they grow again when the spring breeze blows.

The vitality of wild vegetables and weeds is very tenacious. New ones will appear after a few days after the ground is clean, and soon it will be green again.

Wild vegetables are not tasty, and leaves and shoots are even worse.

Feng Qingxue followed the trend and picked up half a basket of willow buds, washed them, blanched them in boiling water, took them out to dry, briefly mixed them with oil and salt, and served them to the table. Feng Qingyun wrinkled as soon as he took a bite. Face.

"It's so bitter! Sister!" Feng Qingyun wanted to swallow but didn't want to, and looked at Feng Qingxue longingly.

Feng Qingxue took a bite, and it was indeed bitter and astringent.

My own family uses oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar to season it so it tastes so good. Others boil it in water and eat it. You can imagine the bitterness.

But she still insisted on swallowing it, and said to Feng Qingyun seriously: "So, you have forgotten the pain of not being able to eat after only a few good days? When you were a child, how often did you eat wild vegetables and willow buds that were not very delicious? ? Sometimes we can’t even eat! It’s a lean period now, and even I can’t get food as much as I can in late autumn and early winter, so we have to save some food.”

Feng Qingyun held the Liu Ya that had not yet been swallowed in her mouth, biting her lower lip with her teeth, looking at her stern-looking sister to decide whether to cry or not.

"Sister..." Feng Qingyun's voice was choked.

"So..." Feng Qingxue put her soft hand on top of her head, and her voice became much softer, "Didn't I tell you about Brother Guancheng and Brother Guanyu? Orphans like them begging for food are too much. Too much. Have you forgotten that we also relied on begging to fill our stomachs after we were kicked out of the house? People can’t forget the hardships in the past when we have a good life. When we first started digging wild vegetables, you were so good and reminded me to dig more. The wild vegetables were dried and stored, did you forget?”

"I haven't forgotten, Sister!" Feng Qingyun swallowed the Liu Ya in her mouth, and held her sister's skirt with the hand that wasn't holding chopsticks, "I just lived a good life with Sister for too long, and I couldn't swallow it for a while. I can eat, I can eat!”

As she spoke, she lowered her head and ate the willow sprouts and the dried sweet potato porridge in the bowl.

Compared to people who have nothing to eat, she is so lucky to have a good sister.

Later, Chen Ming and Xu Aiguo hauled hundreds of kilograms of coarse grains to the air-raid shelter in Xishan. Feng Qingxue, who had received the news in advance, specially brought Feng Qingyun there and let her watch the hundreds of kilograms of coarse grains unloaded, which were all dried bean dregs. , sweet potato residue and chopped bean cakes. What can really be called food is only half a sack of dried sweet potatoes and half a bag of sweet potato noodles.

"When my younger siblings asked me to get these things, I knew they were for saving people!" Chen Ming smoked a cigarette. The cigarette was given by Feng Qingxue as a white-faced gift during the Chinese New Year. It was given by the boss, but he never wanted to smoke it. He said seriously to Jiang He: "Boy, I picked them out for you from the breeding farm. They are not delicious either. Don't feel you owe me any favors."

Chen Ming and Xu Aiguo, who had been soldiers, cherished these homeless orphans more than ordinary people.
