With the children of the Guandi Temple taken care of, Feng Qingxue, along with her sister, joined the armies digging up wild vegetables and picking tree buds.
With these children to look after, Feng Qingxue finally felt the strain of food scarcity.
She truly saw what a locust invasion looked like.
Wherever the villagers of the Caohu Brigade arrived, the ground was scraped clean. Not to mention wild vegetables, even wild grass was scarce. Any hand-in could earn work points, with five pounds of grass worth one point, same as the rules of the Wanglou Brigade.
However, wild grass was hard to eliminate, sprouting anew with the spring wind.
The vitality of wild vegetables and grass was tenacious. A few days after the ground was cleaned, new growth would appear, quickly turning the landscape green again.
Wild vegetables were unappetizing, and tree buds were even worse.
