Chapter 314: Chapter 0314: Acquisition of Eggs 2_1 Chapter 314: Chapter 0314: Acquisition of Eggs 2_1 Feng Qingxue and Guan Cheng arrived at the kitchen just as Lu Tianjun was draining the cooked wild boar at. It would be cut and stir-fried at noon.

“We’ve bought quite a lot of eggs today. Tianjun, can you go down to the cellar and get so green garlic? Let’s stir-fry a dish with eggs at noon.” Once Lu Tianjun left, Feng Qingxue turned to Guan Cheng, “In a couple of days, we’ll send so to your aunt.”

Guan Cheng nodded, “No need to wait a couple of days. While the snow ground isn’t muddy, I’ll go with Tianjun tomorrow.”

Once the snow lts, the road will be hard to navigate!

Feng Qingxue considered this, and agreed.

Guan Cheng and Xu Da hadn’t kept Lu Tianjun in the dark about their family relationship. When Lu Tianjun ca back with the green garlic, he nodded, “Okay, let’s go. I would go mad if I was stuck at ho every day due to the heavy snow.”

Worried that the children might get tired, Feng Qingxue prepared so dried vegetables, pickles, and dried radish for Xu Da. She didn’t send any raw cabbage or radish.

When Lu Tianjun and Guan Cheng arrived at Xu Da’s, they repeatedly assured her. Xu Da hurriedly said, “My children, sit down and have so warm water. We have cabbage and radish at ho. We bought over a hundred cabbages for winter storage at one penny per pound.”

As she spoke, she was busy preparing lunch.

Grandpa Xu helped with the vegetables, “Don’t skimp on these two kids. They traveled so far to bring us things.”

“I know. Let’s stir-fry an egg, and then cut up the piece of preserved at Xiaoxue gave us last ti.” Xu Da gave her husband a glance, followed by a sigh, “If it weren’t for Xiaoxue’s support, we would be starving and eating snow now.”

Lu Tianjun was stunned. “You’ve paid your public grain contribution, you’re eating comrcial grain. Is life still hard?”

He went to school in the city. From what he observed, urban dwellers live a hundred tis better than farrs because the vast majority who starve to death are farrs. Yet, city dwellers have comrcial grain supply every month. They might not be full, but at least they don’t starve to death.

“In such tis, who has a good life?” Xu Da pointed at her husband and then at herself, “Your grandpa Xu and I, as an old couple, each get twenty-five pounds of grain per month. Many tis when we go to the grain store with our ration book, they’ve run out of grain by the ti our turn cos. In the end, there’s still a grain shortage!”

Lu Tianjun pondered. “So, our ration standard in Wanglou Brigade is considered high?”

“Your rations should be the highest,” said Xu Da. “In the city, only miners and other workers doing heavy physical labor have a monthly ration of forty-five pounds. But even then, sotis their ration cards can’t get them any grains. Living in your production brigade is your blessing, cherish it!”

Guan Cheng nodded emphatically in agreent.

As far as he knew, the Caohu Brigade had increased their planting of corn and sweet potatoes this year, which had yielded high outputs. The standard for rations had been raised, but it was still much less than the Wanglou Brigade. Old Song had said it, hadn’t he? The able-bodied laborers in their production brigade only had two hundred pounds of grain.

What Xu Da didn’t say was that the fortune of encountering Feng Qingxue was the greatest of all.

Although she wanted to keep Guan Cheng for a longer chat, she didn’t want to cause any inconvenience. After they finished their al, she allowed the two brothers to leave. Before they left, she forcefully stuffed part of her recently received salary into Guan Cheng’s hand.

Grandpa Xu locked away the remaining sixteen eggs, “Qingxue is such a sincere child.”

“Indeed!” The two of them together only had a pound of eggs for a month. Feng Qingxue had generously given them two pounds. With the remaining sixteen eggs, the two could each eat a boiled egg a day for eight days.

Just as they finished putting away Feng Qingxue’s gifts, a visitor, an old friend of Grandpa Xu arrived.
