Chapter 224 The Benefits of Sufficient Oil and Water

We can live the same life as others can live!"

“That’s right. Eating chicken noodle soup this early in the morning is a bit of a luxury, but I’m afraid someone will smell it and come over.

Mom, let's be careful from now on!"

"Okay, how could I not know this? The chicken soup has almost cooled down a long time ago. Even if it has a smell, it won't spread far.

As for the noodles, can't they just be boiled in water?

Although the weather is a little cooler now, it is just right to eat with chicken soup.

You three kids, hurry up and eat, or you’ll be late for school."

"No, I walk very fast now, Mom, don't worry that I will be late for school."

"Mom, my eldest brother won't be late, and neither will we. My brother and I will finish our meal later and then go to the foot of the mountain to dig some herbs!"

"No, if you two really have nothing else to do, just help me take out all the dried vegetables at home. I plan to dry them in the sun while the weather is good, so they can be kept for a few more days."

"That's fine, but it's already this late, why hasn't Dad come back yet?"

"I'm back now, why don't you guys eat quickly, I'll go over and take a look?"

"it is good."

Guo Huaian did come back later than usual today. Seeing that he had a lot of prey in his backpack, he asked with some surprise.

"Why are there so many today?"

"It was just a coincidence, I happened to run into him and hit him back.

It’s just that there’s no hunting rifle, or bow and arrow, but relying on a slingshot is somewhat worse?”

"It's okay. We originally wanted to improve our family's food. We didn't plan to make money from hunting. It's good enough to have something to eat. Why would we care about these things?

By the way, wash your hands and go eat. I'll take care of these, or you'll be late for class."

"Okay, I'll go eat first. By the way, have you eaten yet?"

"I've already eaten, so hurry up and eat!"

"it is good."

I have to say, I had a good harvest this morning, three pheasants and five rabbits. If I hadn't planned to go to the black market, I would have sold them anyway.

Thinking about my current situation, I decided to give up!

Since the family is waiting for food distribution, it is better to fill the family’s stomach with meat first.

After finishing their meal, the three children took a look at the pheasants and hares. Even though they were happy, they did not dare to shout out loud for fear of being heard by passers-by.

Then those who were supposed to go to school went to school, those who were supposed to do things did things, and they left without being affected at all.

And none of these prey were intended to be left for dinner.

After all, the meat in the clay pot can only be eaten for two days at most, so it is better to marinate it directly, hang it in the woodshed to dry, and save it for later consumption!

To be honest, the dried meat tastes very tough and is not as delicious as the freshly cleaned meat when stewed.

There is no other way. This is the only condition we have now.

I am used to eating freshly cleaned meat, but unfortunately that is not possible at the moment, so I can only do this.

But it’s okay, there’s no need to worry too much. If you can’t eat today, there’s still tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, right?

As long as you have time, you can go into the mountains and walk around, and you will gain something.

In addition, there is no need to worry about the pigs in the pigsty at home. When the pigs are ready to be slaughtered, except for one that needs to be delivered, the remaining one will definitely be slaughtered.

Other families might keep half, hand over half, or secretly sell half on the black market, but we wouldn’t.

At that time, I would use the excuse of giving it to friends in the city and keep the whole pig for the whole family to eat.

As for the life in the past few years, I don’t need to say it, everyone in my family knows that if there is oil in the food, I will eat less food, and I will also be stronger than others.

It is said that our child is half a head taller than other children of the same age. It is because we have enough wealth.

Look at those people outside. Not only are they short, but they are also malnourished.

Furthermore, even though Guo Huaian was just a substitute teacher at school, he was very tired at the end of the day.

But why can they go to the fields to help themselves work and go into the mountains to chop firewood after get off work? The reason is that the food at home is good.

If they really ate the same food as their fellow villagers, my three children would probably be pale and thin.

Even if Guo Huaian wanted to help me, he probably didn't have the ability to do so.

At the same time, because of this, the health of our family members is better than that of others.

The good thing is that I’m not fat, otherwise I wouldn’t dare to eat like this.

In contrast, for other people in the team, it has been more than half a month since the autumn harvest, and many people have not recovered yet.

Even if some families are willing to kill chickens to nourish their family members, what use can one or two chickens be, and they cannot be enjoyed by one person alone.

When I was not working in the fields, I heard someone talking about this.

“I’ve eaten all my chickens, so how come I’m still dying when I work?

Hurry up and get up and work for me, do you hear me? "

"Mom, it's not that we don't want to do it, it's just that we are too tired."

"That's right, mother, you know that everyone was skinned during the autumn harvest that year, right?

Our private plot of land is not going anywhere, so why are we in such a hurry? "

"That's right. There's no need to rush now, right?"

"Get lost. I won't listen to your nonsense. Hurry up and get to work. We must harvest the sweet potatoes in our private plot before dark today.

Tomorrow, everyone go up the mountain to chop firewood for me. If you don’t go, then just freeze in the cold this winter if you are not afraid of dying!

Anyway, don’t come to me when you are sick. I don’t have money to treat you!

Humph, they are all a bunch of lazy bastards. They don’t move at all without any arrangements. It really pis ...

You're still thinking about dividing the family. Can you support a whole family if you're so lazy?

This is simply wishful thinking. Just wait!

snort! "

As soon as I heard it, I knew that this family, somewhere, had offended their old lady again.

As for the sweet potatoes that the old lady asked me to pick up in her private plot, it was indeed time. If I didn't pick them up now, they would probably be stolen by others after a long time.

Even though they all live in the same team, the adults may not do this, but the children may dig up the sweet potatoes and secretly find a place to roast them and eat them.

Another thing is that it is much easier to take time off to do the farm work before the wheat is planted than to do it all at once by chance.

If the old lady hadn't said that, wouldn't they have gone into the mountains after work, but instead picked the sweet potatoes from their own private plots?

It’s true, in the first year of planting, the sweet potatoes didn’t grow very big and the yield wasn’t very high, but it is still food after all.

When I saw the children from home coming over, I told them.

"You three, pick out the bad ones, and we'll put them separately. The good sweet potatoes without rotten skins will be placed in the yard to dry in the sun, and then placed in the cellar. Otherwise, they will easily go bad."
