Quickly wear and change the fate of the little cannon fodder

Chapter 52: Miss Cannon Fodder in the Period Literature 21

After the autumn harvest holiday, Yu Xiaoxiao started studying intensively again, and occasionally gave her deskmate some special lessons. In the monthly exam, both of them rose steadily by more than ten places, and the teacher specially praised them.

The teacher also asked them to summarize their experiences, which led to a learning craze in the whole class. The results were very good. In the final exam, their class ranked second in the grade, and the teacher was very happy.

The weather was getting colder and colder, and they also welcomed the first light snow. Yu Xiaoxiao was dragged by Yu Muzhuang to stock up on radishes and cabbages for the winter. Their quota was to buy up to 80 kilograms of cabbage and 50 kilograms of radishes each.

The two brought back radishes and cabbages and made sauerkraut. Yu Xiaoxiao made several jars of kimchi with radishes, cabbages, and sweet potatoes on a whim. The two worked for a whole day to finish. Afterwards, Yu Muzhuang tried the kimchi and found it very delicious. He begged for a jar to take back.

The Chinese New Year comes after the twelfth lunar month. This is the first year that Yu Xiaoxiao has been here and the first time she has spent the Chinese New Year alone. She didn't feel lonely. She cooked a table full of dishes, all of which were her favorites. She didn't worry if she couldn't finish them. She put them in her space and ate them when she wanted.

Throughout the year 1959, Yu Xiaoxiao did not change much. She went to school and went home as usual. During the summer vacation, she ate, drank and gossiped with her deskmate. After returning home, she did various farmwork and exercises.

Outside, it was different. In the north, there was no rain in the spring, the fields were dry, and the grains did not sprout. In the summer, a large-scale drought began in the south, and heavy rains and flash floods broke out in the north. Later, there were rare locust plagues, armyworm plagues, and rat plagues in various places. The harvest for the whole year was less than 1/3 of the original harvest, causing food shortages across the country.

Yu Xiaoxiao's city also experienced food shortages and crazy price increases! People also began to use all means to buy and stockpile food.

Yu Muzhuang was especially grateful to Yu Xiaoxiao, because it was because they saw Yu Xiaoxiao buying food that their family followed suit. Although they could not eat as much as before this year, at least they could eat 60% full, which was much better than others. Otherwise, they would not know where to buy food if they wanted to.

The police officers in the police station had the same idea as Yu Muzhuang. They had seen the news about preparing food when the paper planes flew over. Some of them believed it and some did not, but they still bought more food intentionally or unintentionally.

Because of this action, they still had some surplus food when others were looking for connections to buy food. Even so, they were somewhat grateful and regretful. They were grateful that they listened to the advice of this patriot and bought more food. And they regretted that they did not fully believe in it and did not stock up enough food. Even if they bought more, it would not last long.

Worried that food would become increasingly scarce, they also joined the team looking for connections to buy food. The police officers secretly swore in their hearts that if this patriot made similar suggestions again in the future, they would absolutely believe, obey and implement them 120%.

In this way, after going through the 59th year and entering the 60th year, people began to pray, hoping for a good harvest in the new year and to end the situation of hunger and hunger as soon as possible.

However, God did not do as they wished. It had not rained since the New Year. The cracks in the fields were so big that you could step into them. There was no green anywhere. The famine continued!

In the second half of the year, drought, typhoons, frost, locusts, and floods took turns to hit large areas of the country. Now there is no food to buy on the market, and everyone is hungry and thin.

Because they were hungry, the students had no mood to go to school, so the school had no choice but to suspend the class. They would wait for the school to notify them when to go back to school. Yu Xiaoxiao also put on makeup to make herself look pale and thin. It couldn't be that everyone else looked pale and thin, but she was the only one with a rosy complexion!

When Yu Xiaoxiao saw the soldiers of the military sub-district working in various places to provide disaster relief while hungry, she began to take action.

During the day, she used her spiritual power to find a relatively large cave in the mountains and put 500 tons of sweet potatoes and potatoes and 50 tons of various vegetables, including radishes, cabbages, pumpkins, peppers, beans, cucumbers, sweet potato leaves, sweet potato stalks, sweet potato tips, sweet potato vines, pumpkin tips... She put some of them in and hid the cave entrance.

At night, he used an invisibility charm to go to the military sub-district and put a letter on the table of the top leader as a patriot. The letter told him that a batch of coarse grains would be given to all soldiers for free. Where was the grain? How to distribute the grain after getting it was up to the leader's arrangement. He could eat it himself, send it to other military districts, or give it to the people. It didn't matter. The only thing was that he couldn't sell it at a high price for personal gain!

Yu Xiaoxiao knew that food was now sold at sky-high prices, even the price of sweet potatoes had increased more than tenfold. And there was still no market for them. She was mainly afraid that some people would be tempted by profit and sell at high prices for personal gain. This was something she could not tolerate, so she wrote so many words.

After doing this, she did not leave immediately, but used her mental power outside the military sub-district to see how the leader would deal with it!

When the leader saw the letter on the table, he was stunned for a moment. He did not open it immediately. Instead, he looked for the guard and asked if anyone had been there. When he learned that no one had been there, he frowned and thought for a while, and decided to open the envelope and take a look.

When he saw the contents of the letter, he immediately stood up in shock. He knew the deeds of this patriot, and even their military region had been awarded merit because of him. He just didn't expect that this man was so powerful and would come directly to him this time.

But none of this is important. What's important is the content of the letter. We need to confirm this first. After thinking about it, he asked the guard to notify several people in charge of the military region to come to a meeting. He also immediately sent a few people to the address mentioned in the letter to investigate and confirm whether there are really supplies and the quantity of supplies before arranging the work.

When the surveyors came back, several leaders had been waiting for them for a while. The commander only notified them of the meeting and said nothing after they came, saying that they would talk about it after they came back. All the leaders were curious about what happened that made the commander so cautious.

The commander asked several surveyors about the details. He learned that there were indeed supplies, and the quantity was quite large, several hundred tons, and they were even very fresh. He then told several leaders about this matter and showed them the letter.

This made everyone very excited. They immediately asked the surveyors to lead the way. They also wanted to see it with their own eyes. The commander was also very curious and went with them.

When everyone rushed to the cave and saw so many fresh supplies, they were so excited that tears welled up in their eyes. For food, so that the soldiers would not be hungry during the mission, they racked their brains and tried every possible way, but the food they found was still a drop in the bucket, or even in vain. If this continued, the soldiers would soon eat tree bark and soil.

Seeing so much food suddenly appear, and it was especially fresh, and there were so many vegetables. How could they not be excited? The soldiers could finally have a full meal. This was really a timely help, and the quantity was so huge, they could finally breathe a sigh of relief!
