Back to the 70s: My Wife is Both Fierce and Crazy

Chapter 7 The Whole Family Eats Meat
Back home, Bai Jing began sorting things using a winnowing basket.

Since it was really hard to tell them apart, she stopped worrying about it. At worst, she could just crush the radium and cook it together with the other ingredients; it was better than going hungry.

In one afternoon, she brought back about 23 jin of grain, enough for the family to eat for a few days.

Thinking of the money in the system, Bai Jing felt a little tremble. She thought it would be better to get more valuable items and exchange them for money from the system for self-defense, which would also make it easier to use the system.

But where can we get the money?
To test the system's inclusiveness, Bai Jing exchanged all the items in her house, but unfortunately, there wasn't a single valuable item.

It seems the only option left is to acquire some old items or gold and silver.

But she didn't have any of these things at home. After thinking for a long time, Bai Jing finally decided on a goal: to go to the landlord's house from back then, thinking that there might be some treasures left behind.

Her mind was working, and her hands weren't stopping either. Because she had found the grain in the afternoon, Bai Jing didn't hesitate to cook dinner without a second thought.

She wasn't afraid of her mother scolding her. After all, it was food she had eaten, so let her scold her if she wanted, as long as her younger siblings weren't big-headed babies anymore.

Besides, she also needs to grow taller. After all, she's only 1.4 meters tall at sixteen, and she doesn't want to look like a short, stout person when walking with her friends like she did in her previous life.

Eat well and get your body back in shape quickly.

Smoke curled from chimneys as those who weren't working in the fields began preparing dinner for their families.

Smoke began to rise from the chimneys of every household, a signal that the villagers were busy preparing dinner.

White smoke was also billowing from the chimney of the Bai family's kitchen, which was located far on the edge of the village.

The afterglow of the setting sun spilled onto the country lane, and a flock of sparrows hopped merrily in the trees, as if performing a joyful dance.

Since there was still some chicken left over from lunch, Bai Jing made the main dish a bit firmer, since the afternoon's harvest was quite good.

With the addition of meat and vegetables, it should be enough to fill everyone's stomach.

The firelight in the kitchen illuminated Bai Jing's face as she skillfully stir-fried vegetables in a large iron wok. The leftover chicken oil from lunch sizzled in the wok, and the aroma of oil and vegetables mingled together, filling the entire house.

As darkness fell, the villagers gradually finished their work and went home. The three children who had already finished school went directly to the fields to pick up their mothers.

When everyone returned, they smelled an enticing aroma.

"Mom, what delicious food is my eldest sister making? It smells so good!"

The youngest child in the family was the first to speak. He was a boy, so he was very active and got hungry quickly, and he was most susceptible to the temptation of such a delicious aroma.

Thinking of the bowl of chicken she had for lunch, Luo Chunhua's fatigue lessened a bit. "Why don't we go inside and see for ourselves?" Looking at the thin children, a slight smile appeared on Luo Chunhua's face.

Upon hearing his mother's words, Bai Yong immediately ran towards the kitchen, shouting as he ran, "Big sister, big sister, I'm back!"

Bai Jing also removed the torch from the stove; the mixed grain rice she had cooked was already done.

"Xiaoyong, did your mother come back with you?" Bai Jing put down the pliers, got up and walked out, but unexpectedly met the two siblings at the door.

"Hey kid, slow down, you're hurting people when you bump into them." Bai Jing was almost knocked away by the impact. If she hadn't grabbed the door frame in time, she would probably have landed on her bottom right now.

Bai Yong felt embarrassed to have bumped into his sick older sister, but the aroma in the room was too tempting. He sniffed and said, "Big sister, what are you doing? It smells so good."

Rubbing the spot where he had been bumped, Bai Jing slapped him lightly, "All you know is eating. Can't you see your sister is in pain?" This kid needs a lesson.

Luo Chunhua came over with her two daughters. Seeing her daughters holding onto Xiaoyong, she immediately asked, "What happened?"

Bai Jing didn't intend to complain. "Mother, Second Sister, you're all back. Let's wash up and eat. The food is just ready." Bai Jing let go of her younger brother's hand and immediately went out to greet him. "We were lucky today; we raided quite a few broomstick rat burrows."

"Big sister, you've gone into the mountains?" Xiao Yong was the happiest to hear this. He had done this many times before, but unfortunately, he was too small to find many places to stay.

"Are you going again tomorrow? Take me with you." The little guy's eyes were shining brightly.

But Bai Lie wouldn't tolerate him. "You have to go to school tomorrow. What are you going to do? Be careful, or your mother will beat you."

She knew how much her mother cared about education, and even after many years, she still knew how much her mother valued her children's education.

"If you dare skip school tomorrow, I'll give you a good beating." Bai's mother's sinister voice came from behind Bai Yong.

It startled him. "Mom, what are you doing here?" His mother had clearly gone inside.

Bai Jing glared at her younger brother, "What can you see? All you see is your older sister, heh, get lost."

It smells so good; my older sister must have gotten something good today. It smells like meat; she remembers it.

Bai Ling also shoved Bai Yong, saying, "Don't block the way."

have to.

Bai Yong suddenly became the disliked one in his family.

"Mom, look at my second and third sisters, they're bullying me." Bai Yong was thick-skinned, and he complained with great confidence.

But Bai's mother had no interest in paying attention to him. "Your sister and the others are right. Don't block the way."

She still remembered the smell of meat from lunch; she was hungry after working all afternoon.

Bai Jing watched her younger brother perform quietly, never expecting him to be so adorable as a child.

Her memories of her younger brother were very faint.

After all, her younger brother died in his early twenties, and even though she went to pay her respects every year for the next few decades, his image gradually faded.

Her whole family was like they were soaking in bitter water, enduring whatever hardship they could.

Ugh.

"Alright, go wash up, dinner's ready."

There was no electricity in the house, so the kitchen was a bit dim. Bai Jing had already turned on the light, which was a tung oil lamp. The oil used was tung oil, which they could make themselves, so they didn't feel bad about using it.

Upon entering the kitchen, they were all surprised to see meat on the table, except for Luo Chunhua.

"Big sister, where did you get the meat?" They don't raise chickens at home. They can't afford to raise them, and even if they did, they wouldn't be able to eat them, so there's no need for them to raise them.

Seeing her sister-in-law's surprised expression, Bai Jing smiled and stepped forward, saying, "I found it when I went into the mountains this morning."

But no one doubted her words; they all looked on with envy: "Big sister, you're so lucky!"

"Yeah, yeah, we've gone into the mountains before, how come we've never found any?" Bai Jing swallowed hard, struggling to look away as she turned to her sister. "Big sister, are there any more? Can we find any tomorrow?"

Before Bai Jing could even speak, Luo Chunhua couldn't stand it anymore. "Alright, do you think the pheasants on the mountain belong to us? You can't just eat them whenever you want. Aren't you hungry? Come and eat!"

She just saw the rice cooking in the pot; it was mixed grain rice. It seems Jing'er went to raid the nest this afternoon.

With the meat she had at noon, I didn't say anything to her in the evening, but I still told her to eat sparingly, since there were still some days before the food rations were distributed.

The grain was distributed only after the autumn harvest was handed over, and not all of it could reach them, so they had to be careful with it.

"eat."

"eat."

"eat."

Three voices rang out at the same time.

Bai Jing smiled as she looked at her younger brother and sister. Even without experiencing the hardships that followed, the siblings still had a good relationship.

Although she was reborn, she was willing to change her family's fate, since they had all suffered a lot.

If it can be changed, then it is better to change it.

They were born of the same mother, so there wasn't any deep-seated hatred between them. Besides, they were all acting against their own will, so they couldn't blame anyone else. She herself also had her own selfish motives.

The meal was so long that no one had a chance to speak.

Because Bai Jing ate meat at noon, she didn't eat much for dinner, but she drank two bowls of soup.

Not only her, but Bai's mother was the same. However, Bai Jing felt sorry for her and still gave her a lot of meat. In addition, her other three children were also filial and ate half a bowl of meat that night.

Seeing that everyone was enjoying their meal, Bai Jing decided to bring back two more pheasants the next day.
