Cannon Fodder Just Wants to Farm (MTL)

Chapter 79: A day in the life of ordinary people

Besides, the difficulty brought by the cold is not only food, but also insufficient firewood and coal. It's only the beginning of November, and there are still two months of winter left. I don't know when this day will end.

The woman said: "Get up quickly." Then she said: "Everyone is in trouble, and my family only has five kilograms of food in total. Let me lend you three kilograms. It's okay for us adults to suffer a little, but our children can't go hungry. Otherwise You can go to the workshop tomorrow and ask. If you can't eat the food distributed there every day, you can take it away."

The sister-in-law said, "Okay, I'll go and ask tomorrow. Thank you, sister-in-law, for saving my life." As she spoke, tears came down.

After leaving with the food, the woman felt a little unbearable. Fortunately, she had this job, otherwise her life would be the same as that of her sister-in-law. It's hard for the people.

Children are the most sensitive, and seem to be able to sense her discomfort, and wake her up with their tender voices.

She asked: "Is mom okay?" She was a little embarrassed. She was such an old person and was comforted by a child.

Just then the door rang. From a distance, I heard a man say: "Look what good things I have brought." Then he came in happily and brought two loads of dry firewood and one load of cinders. This is a good thing that even money can't buy nowadays.

The man is now on the snowplow team. Not only the main roads in the county need to be cleaned, but also the roads leading to the villages must be cleaned. Although it was tiring and hard work, I got a cotton-padded jacket and two meals a day. Said: "The deputy chief gave this to us. Everyone has one."

"No money?" the woman asked.

The man said: "I didn't spend a penny."

The woman's face looked a little happy, and she quickly sorted out the dry firewood and put it in the backyard. They were a family with a fire pit, but they were reluctant to burn it. Said: "When the weather is cold, burn it again!"

The man went home and quickly put his cotton shoes by the window to dry. The shoes will be dry again tomorrow.

The cotton-padded clothes and trousers were placed on top of their thin quilts. It felt much warmer all of a sudden. When a man is very angry and he gets on the kang, the children will flock to him. The family gathered together and talked to each other before it was time to go to bed.

The woman told the man that her sister-in-law came to borrow food. The man said: "Her life is also difficult now." Thinking of the natural disaster, he felt a little emotional. How many people would die in such a heavy snow. He touched the woman's cold hand and said, "I will get new clothes for you to wear next month, which will save you from being so cold every day."

The woman said bravely: "I'm going to resist the cold. I'll give them to the children when the next set comes out." The coldness in the room made them uncomfortable.

The man said: "They won't go out. Besides, put on all the clothes at home for them. It's quite cold on the road. You can't fall down, otherwise the house will collapse."

The woman looked at the man and hummed for a long time.

The man said: "I heard that the county will kill pigs tomorrow. Then we will make sauerkraut and pork stew. If I get it, I will bring it back for our family of five to eat."

When the woman heard the meat, she felt greedy in her mouth. She said: "Then I will bring back tomorrow's food." The children ate dry food and soaked it in water all day, and their mouths were sore. She also asked some women who had given birth and had experience today. Those people said that just eating Not good. Eat something good and you'll be back soon.

"The county magistrate is so kind."

"The same goes for Mr. He. Without him, our whole family would starve to death."

While they were talking, several people lay down, with cotton-padded clothes and trousers pressed on the quilt, which made them feel much warmer. After a while, the children began to breathe evenly, but the woman could not sleep, but she did not dare to move for fear of waking up the children.

The man whispered: "Why don't you sleep?"

The woman swallowed and said, "I can't sleep, so I just want to eat the pickled cabbage and pork stew tomorrow."

Men are greedy even if they haven't slept. But he was too embarrassed to say it because he was too proud of his face, so he said: "Wait next year, I will buy more pork and stew it in a pot for you. It will be delicious!"

The woman sneered and said, "Just blow it." Then she ignored him and went to sleep. The dream is all about stewed white pork.

Early the next morning, the whole street was enveloped in an alluring fragrance. Those who don't know think they are still dreaming.
