The matter of the children in Guandi Temple came to an end, and Feng Qingxue took his sister into the army of digging wild vegetables and picking up leaves and sprouts.

With these children, Feng Qingxue finally has a sense of tension in terms of food.

She really saw what it was like for locusts to cross the border.

Wherever the villagers of the Caohu Brigade went, the land was cut clean, not to mention the wild vegetables, that is, there were not a few weeds left, and they could earn work points if they were handed in, and five catties of grass were one centimeter, which was the same as the regulations of the Wanglou Brigade.

However, the weeds are inexhaustible, and the spring breeze blows and grows.

The vitality of wild vegetables and weeds is very tenacious, and after a few days of clean ground, new ones will come out, and soon they will be green again.

Wild vegetables are not tasty, and leaf shoots are even less tasty.

Feng Qingxue picked up half a basket of willow buds with the current, washed them and blanched them with boiling water, fished them out to dry, mixed them with oil and salt, and served them on the table.

"It's so bitter! Sister! "The wind and clouds want to swallow but don't want to swallow, and they look at the wind and snow with their eyes.

Feng Qingxue tasted it, and it was really bitter and astringent.

My own home put oil, salt, sauce and vinegar to season is such a taste, other people's home boiled water to eat, the bitterness can be imagined.

But she still insisted on swallowing, and said to Feng Qingyun seriously: "Yunyun, you have forgotten the pain of not being able to eat after only a few days?" When you were young, when did you not eat wild vegetable willow sprouts very sweetly? Sometimes I can't eat it! Now that we are in a period of green and yellow, even I will have a hard time getting food like I did in the late autumn and early winter, so we have to save some food. ”

Feng Qingyun held the willow bud in her mouth that had not yet been swallowed, and bit her lower lip with her teeth, looking at her stern sister without crying.

"Sister......" Feng Qingyun's guttural voice was a little choked.

"Yunyun ......" Feng Qingxue's soft hand was placed on top of her head, and her voice softened a lot, "Didn't I tell you about Brother Guan Cheng and Brother Guan Yu?" There are so many orphans like them who are begging for food. Have you forgotten that after we were kicked out of the house, we also relied on asking for food to fill our stomachs? People can't have a good life and forget the hardships of the past. When I first started digging wild vegetables, you were so well-behaved that you reminded me to dig a lot of wild vegetables and dry them and store them, have you forgotten? ”

"I haven't forgotten, sister!" Feng Qingyun swallowed the willow buds in her mouth, and pulled her sister's clothes without holding chopsticks, "I just lived a good life with my sister for too long, and I couldn't swallow it for a while." I can eat, I can eat! ”

As she spoke, she lowered her head, gulped down the willow buds, and gulped down the sweet potato porridge in the bowl.

Compared to people who have no food, she is so lucky and lucky to have a good sister.

Later, Chen Ming and Xu Aiguo pulled hundreds of catties of coarse grains and sent them to the air-raid shelter in Xishan, and Feng Qingxue, who got the news in advance, specially brought the wind and clouds over, and let her watch hundreds of catties of coarse grains unloaded, all of which were sun-dried bean dregs, sweet potato dregs and chopped bean cakes, and the only ones that could really be called grain were half a sack of dried sweet potatoes and half a pocket of sweet potato noodles.

"My brother and sister asked me to get these things, and I knew they were used to save people!" Chen Ming smoked a cigarette, the cigarette was given as a gift of white flour by the wind and snow during the New Year, and the leader gave it, and he was not willing to smoke, and said to Jiang He seriously: "Boy, I picked it out for you from the farm, and it is not delicious, don't feel that you owe favors." ”

Chen Ming and Xu Aiguo, who have been soldiers, cherish these homeless orphans more than ordinary people.
