Luo Jin'an remembered Su Teng Village's appearance when he moved there last year. The village was small and honest, and the villagers were good. They helped each other with whatever they needed. Those who could not afford to eat would receive food from their neighbors.
However, everyone in the village was poor back then. Many families could only afford to eat two meals a day—most of the time, it was porridge. Even if they had vegetables, they could not bear to add oil, salt, or eggs.
The Su family was in a similar situation. Moreover, most of the older villagers were not as healthy as now. People walking around used to look sickly and wore patched clothes.
Now that things had improved, every household could have at least three daily meals and plenty of food choices. Many people could afford things like down jackets and duvets for winter.
