Chapter 320: No Way to Beat God's Tricks
After all, she doesn't have such a big golden finger, unlike other heroines who have space for planting or breeding and have unlimited renewable resources.

She doesn't have the billions or trillions of supplies that others have that they can't use up.

She had hundreds of thousands of savings from her previous life, and after using them up, they were all gone, so this matter could only be left to the leaders above to find a solution. After all, this was the leader's job.

Asking all production teams to grow cassava and more coarse grains can only allow everyone to eat more. It is not easy to get rich. After all, coarse grains themselves are not valuable. Even if all the coarse grains in the home are sold, they cannot be exchanged for much money, and naturally there is no money to buy other things.

Xia Chan also knew that as the Yong'an Production Team developed, it would naturally lead other production teams, so Secretary Mo asked her to think about whether there was any feasible method and then talk to him about it. Xia Chan agreed.

She does have a lot of opinions, but whether they should be implemented or not is none of her business, she just needs to raise them.

It was not until the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month that Xia Chan ended his visit with Secretary Mo, and the rest of the matter was left to Secretary Mo. It was estimated that many team leaders would not have a good new year this year, because many people just wanted to cover up things for the sake of reputation, and did not really deal with them, leaving the hidden dangers buried there.

Xia Chan rested at home for the rest of the time. The outside world had been covered with heavy snow, and she had nothing to do. She could only drink tea, read books and newspapers at home, and occasionally go to the town and bring back some good things.

By the way, she resigned from her position as a tractor driver on New Year's Day. Secretary Mo happened to ask her for things every day, and she couldn't drive the tractor anymore. The team leader agreed, but asked her to be responsible for repairing the tractors in the future. After all, Fan Qingmei was not good at this at all. She could barely drive a tractor, let alone repair it.

Xia Chan had no choice but to agree.

Xia Chan went to the town every now and then and brought back some good things. After all, it was the end of the year and supplies were becoming tight again. She had prepared everything, so her brothers didn't have to worry.

Whenever she went there alone, she would take a detour back. Every time, she would involuntarily recall the scene of her reluctant farewell to Xiao Yunfan. What was this? She just wanted to have a sweet love, but he played such a big joke on her.

Occasionally, she would go to places with Xiao Tiantian and Xiao Mimi to watch the snow or go ice skating. They would go to crowded places and would not dare to go to places with few people.

Xiao Tiantian and Xiao Mimi now take Chinese medicine twice a day, and their mouths feel bitter after drinking it, but there is nothing they can do. For the sake of their health, the two of them still have to drink it. However, Jin Pengyuan bought a lot of White Rabbit milk candies for Xiao Tiantian, and she can eat one after taking the medicine to suppress the bitterness.

She has the money to buy it herself, but it must be sweeter if her fiancé buys it for her!

On the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Xia Chan and Zhou Qizhi went together to hand in the task pig and received several cloth coupons as a reward. After returning home, they killed the New Year pig, cleaned the meat, bones and hooves, cut them into pieces, and pickled them.

He also used pig offal to make butcher dishes and stewed meat, and called Xiao Tiantian and Xiao Mimi over for a lively meal.

Xiao Mimi couldn't help but sigh, "Sister, did you often come to Xiaochan's house to eat delicious food? Why didn't Fourth Uncle ask me to go to the countryside..."

After being glared at by Xiao Tiantian, Xiao Mimi quickly shut up.

Xia Chan was also a little confused. Xiao Yunfan had asked Xiao Fengfeng and Xiao Tiantian to come to the countryside. Was it because of her?

Thinking of that excellent and handsome man, she couldn't help but feel bitter in her heart. Alas, no matter how good a person is at playing, he can't beat the tricks of God. The market starts in the twelfth lunar month. Xia Chan goes there every time. When she sees someone selling pheasants and rabbits, she buys them directly and asks her brothers to prepare them. Then, they smoke them with bacon and send them to the Xiao family. After all, she is now a member of the Xiao family, and the Xiao family sends them things every month, fearing that they will not be willing to eat them.

Since she has enjoyed the kindness of the Xiao family, she naturally has to repay the Xiao family.

The winter hunting team returned on the 20th of the twelfth lunar month. The subsequent process was exactly the same as every year, except that this year it was not Xia Chan who delivered the goods to the commune. On the 20th, Fan Qingmei was responsible for delivering the goods. Xia Chan slept comfortably in the warm bed in the morning, and no one complained to her for getting up late. She should not be too comfortable.

Pork distribution began on the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month. The brothers would line up to get the meat. After they got the meat, they would keep the fresh part for eating and marinate the rest. Many dumplings had already been made, so there was no need to keep any meat for making dumplings.

"There are no fish this year, what should we do? Otherwise, let's go there and catch some again. We can keep the big ones for ourselves and give the small ones to the production team?" Xia Chan was worried when he thought about having no fish during the New Year.

If they want to eat fish openly, they have to hand it over to the collective, otherwise if someone sees them, they will talk about them.

In order to eat fish peacefully at home, it’s okay to give some to everyone. It’s easy for them to catch fish anyway.

"Then go catch it." Zhou Qizhi nodded.

"Then let Fourth Brother rest for a day. We will set off tomorrow night. I will then go to the captain's house to borrow a tractor." Xia Chan said happily. The ecology of the river has not recovered this year, so she was reluctant to do it. She decided to let the fish grow for another year, and then she could catch them next year.

The next night, Xia Chan drove a tractor and took her brothers out. Seeing so many bamboo baskets and fertilizer bags on the tractor, her brothers were quite surprised. They didn't know why Xia Chan brought so many things. How many fish did she want to catch?
When she arrived at the place where she had caught fish before, she used hot water, a hammer and other things to smash a big hole in the ice. Then she put the fishing tools filled with gray flour down. After the fish were caught, Xia Chan started to put them on the tractor and counted them. Anyway, she put all the fish weighing more than ten kilograms into the space and kept them for her own consumption.

When she was packing the fish, she put those of similar weight together, so that she wouldn't have to worry about it later.

Anyway, it’s the same as last year, one fish for each weight, so that everyone doesn’t have conflicts over weight and think that their fish is smaller than others.

The brothers and sisters were busy for nearly eight hours and did not return until after three in the morning. When they came out of the commune, Xia Chan hesitated for a moment and drove the tractor towards the production team with the worst conditions.

She asked her brothers to carry a basket of fish and put it on the only road leading to the production team. She then placed a piece of paper on the basket with the words "one fish per household" written in her left hand. She and Secretary Mo had been to this team before, so they naturally knew how many households there were in this team.

While Xia Chan was writing, she asked her brothers to go back to the tractor first, and then she put out some wild yams that she had harvested, 20 kilograms for the family. Everyone knew how to eat yams, so she didn't need to write down how to do it.

However, she still wrote down how much each family would get to avoid conflicts.

There isn’t much of these things and they can’t help them much. They can only allow them to eat a few more bites during the New Year!

After returning, they handed the tractor and the fish to the team leader, and the five brothers and sisters hurried home, warmed up the kang, boiled hot water for foot soaking, and made brown sugar ginger tea. The hot food went into their stomachs and warmed up their whole bodies.
