Fully dressed, they locked the door and headed out, each carrying a bag filled with essentials, without any fear of theft.
Walking down the street, Su Yuanyuan suddenly regretted it but soon felt relieved, thankful that she had wrapped herself tightly. Otherwise, her condition would starkly differ from the majority of people.
This year she had grown taller and gained some weight, having just checked herself in a mirror in the space. Her skin was fair and rosy, a rarity even for city folks, let alone rural people, in this era.
She was extremely grateful for being at the farm, where few people noticed her; otherwise, such changes might become a topic of gossip.
Su Yuanyuan aimlessly wandered the streets, which were nearly deserted in the chilling weather, as people preferred staying in to reduce food consumption.
She roamed to a building, where relatively more people were.
Su Yuanyuan went inside but found nothing she needed to buy, so she merely watched the lively scene.

The quality of life for the Chinese people was dire, and this was just the first year of famine. Next year would be the worst, and who knows what absurdity might happen then.
