"Besides, from now on we'd better not burn pots during the day, but secretly cook a meal every night to cook all the food for the day, so that others won't see the smoke coming out of our chimney."

These words also penetrated into Wang Fengying's heart.

The old lady of the Ding family said that she saw that the Qin family's chimney was burning brightly all day long, so she concluded that their family must have food.

Zhao Jin'er continued, "Finally, even if the food at home is enough, we can't stay at home like in previous years. The women in the family have to go out to dig wild vegetables with the big guys, and the men had better go to the town to find a job, otherwise

How big of a fortune do they think our family has!"

Wang Fengying was depressed. She could understand hiding wealth, but she really didn't like working in the fields in the winter.

After all, she is a woman in her forties. She has worked hard for a large family over the years and has suffered a lot of illnesses. She spends the whole year resting at home during the winter months and the twelfth lunar month.

Now I have to brave the heavy snow to go out to dig wild vegetables. May you live long!

Liu Meiyu said nothing and was very resistant in her heart.

After taking the medicine prescribed by the doctor in town, she always felt weak in her legs, and this month her menstrual periods came one after another for more than half a month.

Let alone work, when you reach that station, you will feel dizzy in less than a bowl of rice.

Seeing that neither the aunt nor the sister-in-law spoke, Zhao Jin'er realized that he seemed to have said something wrong and looked timidly at Qin Muxiu.

Qin Muxiu nodded slightly again, indicating that she was right.

Old Mrs. Qin also said, "It's really tiring to go out to work on a snowy day, but Jin'er is right, we can't stay at home in this situation. This person has pink eye to some extent. When he can get by, others

It doesn't bother him at all, but when you are living a miserable life and others are enjoying their blessings, you will easily become jealous. Once you are jealous, you can do anything. What's the old saying?"

"We don't worry about the scarcity but the inequality." Qin Muxiu said calmly.

"Yes, that's what I said. Starting from tomorrow, three of my wife, Fengying, Meiyu, Jin'er, and Pearl will take turns to go out every day, leaving two at home to take care of A Peng, A Xiu, Miaomiao and the animals.

Ping and Ahu, no matter whether they can find a job or not, they will go to town for a walk every day."

Ginger is still old and spicy, and Mrs. Qin made clear arrangements for the family with just a few words.

She doesn't even plan to stay at home, so no one else dares to speak.

Wang Fengying asked, "It's easy to pretend to go out to find work, but if we don't put our food in the cellar, where can we hide it?"

This is indeed a difficult problem.

The family looked gloomy.

Qin Muxiu suddenly asked Qin Hu, "Brother, do you still remember the back mountain we used to go to when we were kids?"

Qin Hu was suddenly excited and said, "There is a cave in the back mountain. It is very secret. Only our three brothers and Zhang Youshuan know about it. Zhang Youshuan is currently in exile. We are not afraid that he will miss us. We can hide the food there!"

That night, Wang Fengying took Liu Meiyu and Zhao Jiner to prepare the food for the next day, and set up a small stove to heat it up during the day.

The next day, Mrs. Qin and Liu Meiyu were left at home, while everyone else went out to do their work.

A few days later, the snow melted away and no footprints were left. The family took advantage of the darkness of the night to transport all the food from the cellar to the cave, leaving only three or four days of food at home.

Zhao Jin'er saw that the cave was spacious and suggested, "It's best to drive a few lambs over."

Wang Fengying patted her thigh and said, "I almost didn't think of those precious goats. We worked so hard to milk them and they look good. Don't go back and ask people to drag them away and kill them."

So four lambs also came over and were simply weaned, and more grain and grass were prepared in the cave, enough for them to eat for many days.

The entrance of the cave was blocked with a large stone and some dead branches and leaves were piled up, so that the sheep inside could not be heard at all.
