Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife

Feng Qingxue originally thought that the gifts she brought were insufficient, but given the current circumstances, she dared not bring more. How could she possibly take back half of them? Try as they might, Uncle Feng and Aunt Feng still refused to accept them all.

With a quick decision, Feng Qingxue tossed the meat and biscuits into the courtyard, then turned around and left with Feng Qingyun.

Once they had left, Aunt Feng was unable to take the gifts out and chase after them to return them.

Taking them outside would mean exposing them to others, wouldn’t it? This was a time when even eating meat required discretion and secrecy.

Aunt Feng helplessly let her husband bring the gifts inside, then went out to see off Sister Qingxue and Qingyun. "You’re married now, with a large family to care for. Keep the good things for yourself. Don’t keep giving everything to us. Even though our lives in Caohu Brigade aren’t as good as those in Wanglou Brigade, we certainly won’t starve in the latter half of this year."

Her words echoed those of Old Lady Xu.

"I understand, Auntie." Feng Qingxue didn’t have her parents here anymore. Her visits here would only be during times of celebration or to burn offerings to her parents. Apart from the two gifts she would send to her aunt and uncle during Mid-Autumn Festival and before Spring Festival, she wouldn’t visit without a good reason.

Aunt Feng nodded. "Don’t worry about the vegetables from the private plot. I’ve dried everything that can be dried, and pickled whatever needed pickling. I’ve even planted new crops. Once the autumn harvest is over, we’ll deliver the fresh vegetables and the grains from the brigade to your place, along with your Uncle and your Brother. You have a work point, so you’ll naturally get your share of the grain."
