Chapter 5 The Sixties 1
The space was not full yet, Feng Qingxue woke up and found that she had changed to another place and became a different person.
Sitting in the broken straw shed with wind blowing in from all sides, Feng Qingxue was dumbfounded.
After being dumbfounded, she wanted to cry but had no tears.
The stomach cramps were obviously caused by hunger.
Feng Qingxue covered her stomach, and her first reaction was to check the space first. She found that the space came with her, and the supplies inside were the ones she had stored, nothing was missing, Feng Qingxue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the space and supplies were there, and there would be no shortage of food and clothing.
Life is all about food, clothing, shelter and transportation, and food and clothing occupy the most important position.
As long as you have these two, you will not freeze to death or starve to death.
Looking around, in the middle of the night, everything was silent, and the straw shed was built behind the three thatched houses of the Feng family. It was very remote, no one would come here, and no one would find anything.
Feng Qingxue carefully took out a bowl of white porridge from the space, and while drinking the porridge, she thought about this experience.
She was reborn into an eighteen-year-old girl.
This girl was also called Feng Qingxue, ten years younger than her, but her fate was much more miserable than hers.
Feng Qingxue was born in a family that favored boys over girls during the Anti-Japanese War, and she had never had a peaceful day since she was a child.
In a family that favored boys over girls, which girl could live a good life?
In this family atmosphere, under the threat of the Japanese, Feng Qingxue was hungry and cold, and lived in fear every day. She finally survived until the founding of the People's Republic of China and learned a few words in the literacy class, but she encountered natural disasters again in a few years.
It was the natural disaster that lasted for three years in the late 1950s and early 1960s.
In order to save the only food for their children and grandchildren, Feng Qingxue's grandparents committed suicide one after another.
Feng Qingxue's parents, who favored boys over girls, also starved to death one after another in order to save food for their children and grandchildren, but their two sons who had already started their own families ignored Feng Qingxue and her younger daughter Feng Qingyun.
Feng Qingxue was just 18 years old when she was driven out of the house by her two brothers and sisters-in-law, and they set up a new family with Feng Qingyun.
Food was extremely precious during the famine, more precious than gold.
Food could fill the stomach and keep one alive, but gold could not.
When the collective canteen had big pot meals, each person had less than three taels of coarse grain on average.
Feng Qingxue traveled through time at the wrong time, as the collective canteen had just been disbanded.
After the autumn harvest this year, the brigade distributed the remaining grain to each household after paying the public grain. Feng Qingxue's brothers and sisters each held on to the grain at home very tightly, eating it themselves and giving it to their son. Even if they only had three taels of coarse grain on average every day, they could still get by.
It was just a pity for Feng Qingxue and her sister, who could not even eat one tael of grain a day.
Because they were driven out of the house after the grain was distributed, the two of them got less than thirty kilograms of sweet potatoes in total.
Out of sympathy, Feng Qingxue loved her younger sister, who lost her parents in a famine a few years after she was born and was not valued by her brother and sister-in-law. She left her little food to her sister, but she was so hungry that she couldn't breathe and her soul flew away.
Feng Qingxue died on a night in late autumn, and no one found her.
Feng Qingxue's brother and sister-in-law would not come to the straw shed behind the house unless there was something important. Although Feng Qingyun lived in the same straw pile with Feng Qingxue, he was only five years old and was sleeping soundly.
Long-term hunger caused Feng Qingxue to have a very small appetite. Feng Qingxue didn't dare to eat and drink a lot. She was full after drinking half a bowl of porridge.
Putting the remaining half bowl of porridge into the space, Feng Qingxue had time to look at her sister in the moonlight.
