Chapter 1661 Politely Declined 5

In the planned economy era, anyone who took out a large amount of supplies would have a problem.

Most of the clothing styles in the space are not in line with this era. Food is packaged in nylon bags. Even the cotton that Feng Qingxue purchased in the northwest region is mostly compressed into large bags of one ton each, and it has to be re-opened by a machine when needed.

She did purchase a lot of re-stuffed cotton quilts and cotton before, but it was only enough for relatives and friends. After all, it will take several years.

Feng Qingxue is a little worried. In the current situation, there is no way to do good things.

This sad and pitiful look fell into the eyes of Dean Lin. She smiled at the elegant couple in front of her, "Two leaders, it's already very good. We are already very good here. It's much better than other welfare homes. We have a bite to eat, a piece of clothing, and a place to live. What else do you want?"

Enough food and clothing have never existed in orphanages. They just want to survive without starving or freezing. They endure and wait. As time passes, they grow up gradually and can eventually earn a way out for themselves.

Feng Qingxue pursed her lips, "I understand."

It is because she understands that she feels more sorry for these children who have suffered the cold and warmth of the world since childhood.

The children were very happy because the arrival of the leader's family gave them sweet candies and fragrant meat buns, which were enough to make them savor the whole year. They couldn't eat such good things during the Chinese New Year!

Even the pumpkin porridge they had at noon still made them feel very happy.

It is so easy to be content.

The Lu family has three meals a day regardless of spring, summer, autumn or winter, and the same is true in the army, but many families outside have two meals a day during the winter off-season, around nine in the morning, two or three in the afternoon, and after five o'clock when it gets dark, they can go to bed and rest. The orphanage also has this model of two meals a day, and there is a trend of carrying forward.

Each person has a bowl of pumpkin porridge, a mixed grain roll, and stewed cabbage and radish with no oil and almost no salt. The radish leaves are pickled into pickles, and the cabbage roots are reluctant to be thrown away.

The yellow pumpkin rice, with pumpkin pieces still attached to the skin, was thicker than in the morning, but there was still not a grain of rice in it.

Not to mention rice, there wasn’t even a single grain of corn grits.

"Rice and white flour are both refined grains, how can we afford them?" After hearing Lu Erxiong ask why everyone didn't eat rice and white flour buns, Dean Lin smiled and explained, "Although there is a certain proportion of refined grains in our rations, and we will have an extra pound or two of refined grains during festivals, we rarely buy them unless there are newborn babies in the hospital. Therefore, when we buy food, we usually replace refined grains with coarse grains. One pound of refined grains can be exchanged for three or four pounds of dried sweet potatoes, which can allow a person to eat three or four more days of meals."

Lu Erxiong frowned at the roll in his hand, "This doesn't taste good, and the fried dishes are not fragrant."

"Brothers and sisters in the hospital eat this, you think it doesn't taste good, but they can't even afford two rolls." Feng Qingxue said, "Moreover, they eat this kind of food every day, no buns, no rice, no white flour buns, no candy, no cake, no malted milk, no canned luncheon meat you eat, no chicken, fish, meat and eggs you eat."

Lu Erxiong's eyes widened. Eating such a bad meal every day?

He looked with sympathy at the people around him who were busy eating paper books, porridge, cabbage and radishes. They were really so pitiful.
