117 Chapter 0117: Opening Sources of Income and Reducing Expenditure 1_1

Unconsciously, the Little New Year arrived.

Little New Year is on the twenty-third of the twelfth lunar month, which is supposed to be the day to pay homage to the Kitchen God.

However, due to natural disasters, the land of the Caohu brigade was inherently barren. The crops in the second half of the year had nearly halved, and after paying the public grain, little was left. The grain distributed to each family was even less, leaving almost no household adequately fed. Many people fled from the famine, and although some returned for the New Year, they didn't bring much grain back, so the entire Caohu brigade had no festive atmosphere.

Feng Qingxue gave her younger sister some kitchen sugar to eat and went out, only to see a desolate scene.
