Chapter 7 The Sixties 3

No matter how severe the famine is, parents will try their best to feed their children first.

Feng Qingxue tilted the porcelain bowl in her hand and let Feng Qingyun drink the porridge on the edge of the porcelain bowl. Feng Qingxue touched her head with her other hand.

"Qingyun, if you are obedient and don't tell others anything, sister will let you eat eggs every day."

"Yes! Sister, I won't say it." Feng Qingyun repeated.

No one knows the preciousness of food better than Feng Qingyun.

She used to live in three thatched houses with her two brothers and sisters-in-law. Every day, she could hear her two sisters-in-law say that she and her sister wasted food.

Not behind her back, but in front of her.

Feng Qingyun is very smart and has a good memory. She clearly remembers that if her sister hadn't threatened to die, her brother and sister-in-law would have married her to the family in the tenth team with several bachelors as a daughter-in-law in exchange for food.

The result of her sister's disapproval was that the two sisters were driven out of the thatched house.

Although Feng Qingyun didn't understand what it meant to be a daughter-in-law, it was definitely not a good thing, otherwise her sister wouldn't disagree.

Sister is good to her, so the decision Sister made must be right.

After drinking the porridge, Feng Qingyun touched her slightly bulging belly and smacked her lips.

"Sister, rice porridge is really delicious."

"Go to sleep when you are full." Under the moonlight, Feng Qingxue saw that there was not even a grain of rice left at the bottom of the porcelain bowl.

"Yeah." Feng Qingyun curled up his legs and feet in his tattered cotton jacket contentedly, snuggled up to Feng Qingxue, and fell asleep soon.

Feng Qingxue couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

It is late autumn now, and winter will soon arrive. We can't live in a straw hut anymore, and we have to find a place to live.

It should be easy to solve the problem of where to live, because the famine has caused a sharp decline in the population of the Caohu Production Team. There are many empty houses. Although they are all mud walls and thatched roofs, they are also dilapidated, but they can be repaired and at least block the wind and rain.

The premise is to find a way to live in a thatched house.

The most important thing next is food and clothing. The things taken out of the space must be reasonable and not attract attention.

Fortunately, the original sister has set up a new household and no longer has to live under the eyes of her brother and sister-in-law. If she still lives with them, it will be easy to expose her feet if she eats and wears secretly.

Feng Qingxue thought about it all night, and did not forget to hide behind the firewood pile outside the straw shed and secretly wash her body, using the bathtub and warm water in the space.

While taking a bath, she also washed her hair.

After washing, she applied a layer of body lotion all over her body and used conditioner on her hair.

In order not to let people find out the clues, she specially chose the colorless and odorless cream, shampoo and conditioner.

Then, Feng Qingxue put on underwear and modal autumn clothes and autumn pants in the empty cotton coat. The low collar and very close fit made it difficult to be discovered after putting on the cotton coat.

She wanted to get a set of clothes for Feng Qingyun, but it was not the right time, so she had to hold back.

At dawn, while Feng Qingyun was not awake, Feng Qingxue walked out of the straw shed and squatted behind the firewood pile to wash.

There was no water container in the straw hut, so water was still taken from the space.

Taking out the common toiletries in the space, Feng Qingxue brushed her teeth, washed her hands and face, and carefully applied a layer of cream, neck cream, and hand cream on her hands, neck, and face, which were also colorless and odorless.

After washing, the utensils were returned to the space, and Feng Qingxue had time to take out a small mirror to look at her appearance.

Like Feng Qingyun, her hair was long to her shoulders and tied in two braids. The color was dry and yellow, and her face was covered with skin and bones. It was not easy to tell whether her face was an oval face or a melon seed face. She was not ugly, and it could even be said that she would be a beauty when her skin was plump.
