Chapter 9: Trip to the County Town 1

It took a lot of effort to convince Feng Qingyun. Feng Qingxue was worried about her being alone at home, so she sent her to her second uncle's house to ask her second aunt to take care of her.

The second uncle was Feng's father's younger brother. He lived in a three-room thatched house not far from Feng's house. After getting married, he had three sons. The eldest was married, and the middle-aged and the youngest were not married yet.

However, his family had more laborers, so the living standard was higher.

Not to mention the distant past, this time when the canteen was disbanded and food was distributed, according to the work points, his family got a lot more food than other families.

"Second aunt, Qingyun and I are almost finished with our rations. I want to go out to beg for food. Please help take care of Qingyun."

The second aunt was a good person, but everyone's life was not easy. They could not take care of themselves. How could they have the ability to take care of Feng Qingxue and her sister? So Feng Qingxue just asked her to take care of Feng Qingyun. She agreed immediately when she asked for food and drink.

"Okay, then you go and get busy. Don't worry, I'll leave Qingyun here."

Carrying the backpack she brought out from the straw shed, which contained the only four sweet potatoes, Feng Qingxue planned to go into the city.

The original owner had never been to the city, and Feng Qingxue didn't know the way. After asking her second uncle and second aunt, she left the production team and went north.

There is a mountain about a hundred meters high in the north, and there is a road to the north after crossing the mountain.

When Feng Qingxue walked to the valley to rest, she took out her collection of books from the space.

In fact, she was born in a scholarly family. Under the influence of her elders, she has always been more studious. There are many books in her family, most of which she has read, and later put into the space, including information about this era.

Looking for a while, she carefully understood the situation of this era.

After having some understanding, Feng Qingxue's mind moved, and needles and cloth appeared in her hands.

She sewed a few small cloth bags, filled them with a bag of rice, a bag of flour, a bag of brown rice, and a bag of eggs, and put them back into the space. When she entered the city, she used her mind to control the basket and put the eggs on top.

She asked for directions all the way and walked into the county town for two hours.

Feng Qingxue was stunned when she saw the buildings in the county town.

The county town was so backward?

The houses were low and short, most of them were brick and wood structures, there were thatched houses, brick and tile houses, and two-story buildings.

The number of two-story buildings was very small, so small that they were almost ignored.

The road was bumpy and dusty.

Looking at the people walking by, their clothes, temperament and conversation were much better than those of the people in the countryside, but there was one thing in common, that was, they were pale and thin, very simple.

Near noon, the roadside restaurant emanated the tempting aroma of food, Feng Qingxue's stomach growled, and her face flushed slightly.

Because the original owner had a small appetite, she ate little, and she had been walking for so long, but she didn't expect to be hungry so soon.

Feng Qingxue reached into the backpack, and a vegetarian bun appeared out of thin air in her hand, and then she took it out.

She found a corner and squatted down, eating the bun slowly.

Her upbringing made her unwilling to eat while walking, which was not in line with etiquette.

Seeing her eating white buns, some people actually showed envy.

An old lady with a pale face, thin muscles and gray hair came over, squatted in front of her, and watched her eat buns.

Feng Qingxue couldn't eat half of the bun, and looked up and smiled at the old lady, "Auntie, what's the matter with you?"

"Girl, where did you buy this bun?" The old lady asked directly.

"Why are you asking this?" Feng Qingxue asked.
