Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 494

Chapter 494: Chapter 379: Quiet Dissolution

What does it mean for something to start strong and end weak...

The neighborhood canteen quietly stopped...

Zhou Jiao now thinks this is definitely the best news.

The canteen operated for two months, finally quietly ending at the end of October.

As the food at the neighborhood canteen worsened, many people started going to their work canteens.

During the first half month, everyone could still endure it; at least there were nearly full residents in the neighborhood canteen for dinner.

As work and the iron-smelting tasks increased, gradually, in less than a month, only some retired, retired, and unemployed residents continued eating there.

Then the county’s textile factory, brick kiln, meat processing factory, and other units started hiring temporary workers. By the middle of the second month, only some frail old ladies and gentlemen, and women like Zhou Jiao with little babies, were left dining there.

The improvised blast furnaces had no front-line workers or loaders, those strong labor forces.

Aunt Wang, filled with her experiences and insights, had to announce that once the grain for the month was finished, everyone should go back home.

All of a sudden, without pots, without knives, lacking firewood, coal, and lacking stored autumn vegetables, with no winter supplies prepared, everyone was running around in circles.

Why does Zhou Jiao always feel Aunt Wang is a good person?

She distributed the canteen’s firewood, coal briquettes, and autumn vegetables evenly among households.

As for the donated iron pots and knives, no one could do anything. Thick black smoke was still rolling over the county; who would dare mention iron products? Anyone who dared to say it would surely be marked. The canteen’s items might not even get a single thread shared.

Fortunately, bowls and chopsticks weren’t like in some places, all smashed. People had gotten used to bringing their lunch boxes to the canteen, much like at work; this was a small blessing in the misfortune.

By the official end of the lively activity from mid-August, everyone was back to their regular work.

This neighborhood’s high efficiency is astonishing and speechless. But no one could complain – there were too many full-time workers in the family, all going to their workplaces.

Lin Juhua also transferred to the textile factory, following her two sisters-in-law to work, and then Shi Tou and Mai Sui finally entered the textile factory’s nursery.

Oh, for the disbandment of the kitchen, Zhou Jiao felt her second sister-in-law deserved the most credit. It was because Lin Juhua was the first to become a temporary worker at the textile factory, sparking this incident.

For this, Zhou Jiao always felt guilty facing Aunt Wang.

Mr. Zhang and Mother Zhang returned from visiting their eldest son without any smiles on their faces.

Zhou Jiao knew they had encountered old issues. She could only comfort them with kind words and analyze it for the two elders. There, it wouldn’t last long like a rabbit’s tail.

Mr. Zhang and his wife held doubts about other people’s words, but they had unwavering faith in the words of Zhang Guoqing and Zhou Jiao. Haven’t they always seen the eldest son and daughter-in-law keep their promises?

Setting aside worries, revitalized Mr. Zhang and Mother Zhang showed their capability as heads of the family.

Mr. Zhang started organizing his sons to sneak off and cut firewood.

Mother Zhang guided the two younger daughters-in-law in pickling vegetables and took out the privately stored dried eggplants, beans, and vegetables.

This time, the two elders did not regret the three empty yards in the village.

An elder in the family is like a treasure.

Zhou Jiao felt that the two treasures in her family indeed made early preparations, organizing everything effectively.
