Chapter 911 - 0911: Visiting Relatives and Friends 9
Lu Jiang spread his hands, "Let’s just take care of the food today. In a few days, we can arrange for other supplies or bring back some meat. If we reveal everything at once, won’t we scare them to death? No, we’ll only tell Dad about the food we brought, and not mention it to anyone else. When you previously brought food to Dad, he never asked where it came from, and he won’t start asking now or in the future."
In his family’s eyes, Feng Qingxue was a hero with the ability and connections to obtain scarce resources.
Feng Qingxue thought it made sense. "We’ll do as you say. Also, while we’re home, dig a cellar here. When we leave, we can hide some food inside and say we got it from outside. We’ll only tell Dad and privately supplement the family’s needs. Without any oil or side dishes, just relying on grains alone really isn’t enough to fill us up."
An adult man doing hard labor needs about a jin of grains a day, just over three liang per meal. Even with vegetables from their private plot to supplement, it’s still not nearly enough to fill the stomach!
As soon as they returned home, Guan Cheng came out to open the door and help move the grains.
He was already accustomed to Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue’s abilities and didn’t doubt the grains they brought. He only reported on his little brother and sister, "Xibao and Fubao have gone to sleep, fussing to sleep with their auntie in the west room."
"They didn’t make a fuss or cry?" Feng Qingxue found it hard to believe.
Her son, being older, didn’t feel lonely playing with his brothers, but her daughter was very delicate.
