Cannon Fodder Just Wants to Farm (MTL)

Chapter 79: A day in the life of ordinary people

Winter has entered, and there have been many heavy snowfalls in a row, making people trapped in their rooms and unable to get out.

Facing the snow, a woman walked home quickly, not daring to waste a moment on the way, with two pancakes in her arms that she was reluctant to eat.

She was already walking very quickly, but when she got home, her hands were so cold that she couldn't feel anything.

Putting her hand to her mouth and taking a breath, the woman opened the door and quickly returned to the house. There were three children on the kang. When they saw her coming back, they jumped up and down with joy. The eldest is five years old and the youngest is more than two years old.

There was also a little more smile on the woman's face.

"mother."

The woman said, "Hey, are you all confused?" She pulled the three children over and kissed them one by one.

The so-called paste is to soak dry food in water, stir it after soaking for a long time, and then you can eat it. Now that it's cold, the three children don't go out to hug each other on the kang on weekdays. They talk in the room with a white breath.

The youngest cub nodded: "Eat."

The woman gave the eldest son the two rations in her arms. These would be their rations for tomorrow.

Although the woman was born and raised in the county, she had little money. When she went to drink porridge at He Zifeng's shop, she was introduced to the workshop. Seeing her dexterity and ability, the workshop let her join the tofu workshop for one hundred pence a month. There are also two hot meals. It's not cold at all to work in a room with a fire wall. Many female workers brought their children there so that they could enjoy some warmth.

This was what she wanted to do at first. But her child is too young and doesn't have a cotton-padded jacket. It would be troublesome if he catches the cold. It's cold now, and although the poor family doesn't have much, the children don't feel at ease at home, so they always lock the door from the outside.

She was extremely grateful to He Zifeng. If he hadn't introduced her to the workshop, she would definitely not have been able to survive this winter.

Working there now. I can get one hundred Wen every month. You can also buy pancakes from the workshop. Food prices are soaring now. I heard outside that a pancake costs ten cents, but the pancakes here cost three cents each and are quite big. Two pancakes soaked in water turned into a paste, enough for three children to eat for a day.

The woman got on the cold kang, stretched out her hands and held the children in her arms. Then he rubbed their bodies with his hands to make them feel more warm.

The five-year-old eldest son said: "Mom, I also want to make money."

The woman said: "My son has grown up, but I have a father and a mother at home, so I don't need you guys to still go out to work."

Just as she was talking, she heard a voice coming from outside. The woman thought her husband was back, and she was about to get up and go out with a look of joy on her face. It turned out that it was my sister-in-law who came!

When her sister-in-law entered the house, she knelt down and said, "Sister-in-law, please lend me two kilograms of grain. My family really can't survive." Their family backgrounds were similar. My sister-in-law thought that when everyone was collecting grain, she thought it was expensive and was reluctant to buy it. Now, the wind and snow have blocked her and she can't even go out if she wants to buy it. Moreover, the new grain that year is gone. I didn't even know that the grain was several years old, but the price was five cents per catty.
