Thanos's biological daughter in period fiction
Chapter 21 Food Distribution
Liu Fangmei really didn't expect that after drinking water for only an afternoon, plus those few sips of water just now, her hair would actually grow?
As far as she knew, after these bruises healed, the affected area was bald. This water was truly amazing; it not only healed the wounds but also left no scars, and even eliminated the baldness.
Because it's on the back of her head, he was thinking about how to style his daughter's hair to cover it up, so that bald patch where no hair would grow.
“This matter cannot be told to outsiders, and neither can you two, Shitou. Tangtang’s head still needs to be bandaged. I’ll go to the police station to see how Song Dazhi’s matter is going to be handled after I finish my work these next two days. Tomorrow, just send the steamed buns over to the house. Brother Dashan will take care of the rest…” Xia Jixuan looked at his daughter’s wound, which had already disappeared, and wondered if they would want his daughter to get a medical examination.
This is a bit troublesome, but regardless of whether a medical examination is conducted or not, Song Dazhi has to go to jail. He will not let anyone who dared to hurt his daughter get away with it.
However, thanks to this achievement of finding the grain, the brigade leader and the village chief will take better care of his wife. Even if Song Dazhi's family tries to cause trouble for his wife, the village chief and the others won't stand in their way.
Xia Jixuan had been called back anyway, so Liu Fangmei thought he should eat first before going, since they wouldn't be shortchanged.
And that work isn't even finished yet. They cut the corn stalks along with the corn and carried them down, which also needs to be processed. The fish haven't been dealt with yet either. The main tasks are sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn; they can't finish processing all of that in a day.
Even if the fish are caught now, no one has the time to process them. So they're thinking of waiting a bit longer, processing the grain first, and then catching the fish. After all, the fish are there and can't escape.
Liu Fangmei felt sorry for her husband. Since he left after that meal this morning, she knew there would be a lot of people there at noon, and he couldn't possibly get anything to eat from Qingyuju. He would have to dig in the dirt on an empty stomach, just like the other villagers.
Seeing that the wound had healed, Xia Jixuan thought that his daughter would be able to speak again, so after dinner, he held the little girl and sat on the kang (a heated brick bed), speaking to her word by word.
Xia Yutang just stared at him, wanting to speak, but no sound came out. In the end, she burst into tears.
Xia Jixuan quickly picked her up and patted her back reassuringly, "It's okay, Tangtang, don't cry, don't cry, we're not in a hurry. Take it slow, Daddy believes Tangtang can do it..."
Xia Jixuan also blamed himself for being too hasty. Doctor Song said that this kind of illness is a psychological one and cannot be cured in a short time.
After comforting his little girl, Xia Jixuan went out again. He left early and returned late every day, working tirelessly for three or four days. Originally, he had planned to finish repairing the house while he was still home, but judging from the current situation, it seemed impossible.
What he didn't expect was that the people who came to help, who worked at the threshing ground during the day, all came to his house to help after work, except for those who were on night watch.
Because the grain hadn't been completely harvested yet, it was all stored at the threshing ground and supervised by designated personnel. They were all efficient workers, and they caught up with the schedule in just a few days; otherwise, it would have only been a day and a half slower than expected.
He went to check it out; it was done very meticulously, not hastily repaired because of time constraints.
Now that we have food, I was wondering if they would no longer want the food to pay their wages, but they all said that it was agreed in the beginning that it would stay the same and there was no need to change it.
It's been several days, and the grain at the threshing ground has only just been weighed and sorted. There are nearly 2 jin of sweet potatoes alone, the result of these people working non-stop all day to transport them. They even pulled up all the sweet potato vines; the village chief said this variety is good and some should be kept for planting next spring, so now is the time for them to select seeds.
These past few days have been almost five days' worth of work for them, much more tiring than the autumn harvest in the village. But looking at the threshing ground overflowing with grain, they don't feel so tired anymore.
It took five days just to sort all these things out. The village officials were all extremely busy, having to record the weight of the items and calculate how much each household would receive.
There was also the issue of whether to allocate funds based on population or household registration. Ultimately, it was unanimously decided to allocate based on population, otherwise some families with smaller populations would be disadvantaged.
The final conclusion was that, excluding those kept for seed, each adult would receive 70 jin of sweet potatoes, and each child would receive 35 jin. Each person would receive 30 jin of corn cobs, and each child would receive 15 jin. Potatoes were distributed per household: households with five or fewer members would receive 50 jin, and households with more than five members would receive an additional 6 jin for each additional person.
Winter melons and pumpkins are given to each household. If you choose winter melons, you won't get pumpkins, and if you choose pumpkins, you won't get winter melons. Each household gets one. All the melon seeds inside have to be returned, but you can return half and keep the other half to grow your own.
People who saw winter melons could trade winter melon seeds for pumpkin seeds. Before catching the fish, they were thinking of distributing the grain to each household first, otherwise no one would be able to sleep peacefully for the next few days.
The empty baskets left after the grain was distributed were placed on the drying ground, to be used for fishing. Xia Jixuan did not participate in the fishing.
Because the pond was not very big, each household only needed to send one person.
During the free day, Xia Jixuan personally went down to dredge the well. Because of Qingyu Residence, he didn't need anyone's help and finished dredging the well in just half a day. He also washed it several times with the spring water from Qingyu Residence. Since he could cheat with Qingyu Residence, he cleaned the well thoroughly, making sure it was clean before letting the well water slowly accumulate.
After waiting a day, I went to check and found that there was quite a bit of water inside. It was a very old well. Because of the age of these wells, the opening wasn't very high, so as long as a wooden plank or a well cover was placed over it, no one could tell that it was a well.
There wasn't much water in the well, so he didn't intend to let anyone outside his family know that there was a well in the yard.
Because there was plenty of food, everyone was so busy that they forgot about the Mid-Autumn Festival. They were distributing food on the day of the festival, and the next day they were going into the mountains to fish, so nobody remembered it. Even when Xia Jixuan's family moved on the day of the festival, nobody knew. Apart from a few people who had finished distributing their food and came to help, even the Xia family members didn't know where Xia Jixuan's family had moved to.
On the day of the move, the Xia family did see them moving all the cabinets out of the house. Liu Fangmei and the children were cleaning the house, and they thought that Xia Yutang had sold the house because Xia Jixuan couldn't afford medical treatment.
