Chapter 1052: Cause and Effect 2
"So what if the space is stocked with lots of fruits and melons? I don’t dare bring them out for everyone to eat!" Feng Qingxue felt depressed thinking about how for the past two years, the only way to give her children some fruit to supplement their nutrition was to make it into canned goods and sneak it past everyone.
As the children were becoming more sensible, she was afraid of leaking the secret, so she didn’t dare to take it out openly.
Xibao was too clever. If he saw fresh fruits and melons at home, he would surely keep asking until he got to the bottom of it.
After handing a stainless steel spoon to Lu Jiang for him to dig in, Feng Qingxue said helplessly, "Ajiang, you’re smarter, think of a way to use the supplies from the space to improve everyone’s lives. In the early years, I was counting the number of people who needed help, worried that the stored grain wouldn’t be enough and almost lost my hair over it. Now though, it seems like there’s no end to it no matter how much we eat."
When the reform and opening up came and the country abolished the Grain Ticket system, and supplies gradually increased, the chances of using space-stored grains became less and less frequent.
Other supplies would definitely be needed; after all, it’s unlikely that we will reach the level of forty or fifty years later within the next thirty years.
Lu Jiang scooped up a big chunk of watermelon and stuffed it in his mouth, its sweet juice moistening his parched throat. He laughed and said, "I don’t have any foolproof plans either. Who around us isn’t shrewd? We can only say we have some connections to get some grain and fabric—the kinds of things that exist in this era. Bringing out other things would only raise their suspicions."
Not to mention far-off people, he couldn’t even hide it from his father.
Feng Qingxue remembered that Lu Jiang had mentioned his father might have noticed something but was just pretending to be unaware.
