Chapter 622 623 New neighbors move and new ideas

There were about two kilograms of leftover fish and about one and a half kilograms of leftover rabbit meat from the morning meal. Not only the two little kids had eaten them all, but also the few leftover nests from the morning.

Yue Qingmei ate one of the fist-sized steamed buns, and Yue Chengdong actually ate three of them, all after having dinner at home in the morning.

It’s no wonder that parents these days are so worried that they frown. If there are several teenage children at home, the most worrying thing is how to feed the children well.

The monthly food ration for teenagers is much less than that of adults, but their appetite is much larger than that of adults. The total of three meals a day is only a ration of six or seven taels. How can one eat enough?
Especially for a tall and strong child like Yue Chengdong, whose parents have inherited a tall height, it is inevitable for them to eat more when they grow taller, but now they cannot eat enough, and all they think about every day is how to eat one more bite. thing.

They are obviously bright and cheerful young people, but because of the difficulty of life, they suffer from unbearable hunger every day like hungry wolves.

In other words, Yue Hongguo has brought home several fish one after another in the past few days, and Yue Chengdong has been able to eat a few nutritious meals. Without this foundation, his eating appearance today would have been even more terrifying.

If it were the original person, even if he saw his grandchildren starving like this, he could only feel a little pity in his heart, but it would be difficult to have any real solution.

If it were Yue Wenxuan, his small world would be filled with all kinds of supplies, so naturally he wouldn't bear to watch his grandchildren starve.

When he first came through, he couldn't get out. Even if his little world was filled with all kinds of food, there was no reason to take it out. It's different now. He can find various reasons to cover himself up. Although he can't let the whole family eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, there is still no problem in filling the whole family's stomach.

After the two children were full, Yue Wenxuan said: "Some time ago, grandpa and others exchanged some dried sweet potatoes. They are very soft, glutinous and delicious."

He pointed to the full bowl of dried sweet potatoes on the table and continued: "I exchanged this bowl of dried sweet potatoes with someone. If you and Qingmei are not full, or you are hungry later, you can do whatever you want. Take it for snacks.”

Yue Qingmei's eyes fell on this bowl of dried sweet potatoes, and her eyes were full of little stars, "There are such beautiful dried sweet potatoes, they look delicious."

Yue Wenxuan randomly took two pieces from the bowl and handed them to the hands of the two children. "Try it and see if it tastes good?"

After the two of them took a bite each, they both shouted loudly that it was delicious.

After breakfast, the fourth child took the initiative to take on the responsibility of cleaning up the house, considering that his younger sister still had to take time to study.

But Yue Qingmei didn't feel free to be lazy. When her fourth brother was cleaning up the house, she found all her father's clothes and prepared to give them a good wash.

Yue Wenxuan doesn't have many dirty clothes. After changing them, he usually cleans them in the space in time.

The two dirty clothes Yue Qingmei found were the ones Yue Wenxuan had changed out before, and they were quickly cleaned.

"Dad, what should we have for lunch today? I think the steamed buns at home are gone. Can I steam the steamed buns first?" After washing the clothes, Yue Qingmei took the initiative to come over and ask.

Today at noon, there were many people eating at home, and Yue Wenxuan had no way to take out things from the space, so he could only cook in the corridor. If he cooked something good, he would not be able to hide it even if he wanted to, and it would soon fill the whole building. Everyone knows it.

During this period of time, compared to the surrounding neighbors, the food at Yue Wenxuan's house was really good. He couldn't always eat big fish and meat, otherwise, everyone would have objections.

But he considered that the fourth child and his daughter could only come back once a week, and he was reluctant to let them eat poorly. Besides, it was rare for his two grandchildren to visit him. He also wanted to give his two children good nutrition.

Since the impact of cooking at home is not good, then we might as well not eat at home.

He thought for a moment and said, "I'll bring out the cornmeal for you. You steam a pot of steamed buns first. I won't make lunch at home. I'll treat you to a restaurant."

"Do you really want to leave the restaurant?"

Yue Qingmei was very surprised, but she still reminded: "Dad, you may not know that going to restaurants is different from before. Starting from last month, restaurants have also started to collect food stamps."

The situation here in Quancheng is different from that in Kyoto. After all, Kyoto is the heart of the motherland, and the supply of materials is definitely much more abundant than that of local cities. Hotels in Kyoto do not accept food stamps for the time being, and it will take a few months before the new law requiring food stamps to be collected when eating in restaurants will be implemented. Regulation.

In Quancheng, restaurants do not accept food stamps before the Spring Festival. However, after the Spring Festival, various restaurants gradually begin to implement the policy of collecting food stamps.

For most citizens, the introduction of new policies will have little impact on their lives.

When food stamps are not collected, people have to wait in long queues to eat in restaurants. Most people do not have this free time, and it is difficult to get a ticket, so they rarely go to restaurants to eat.

Nowadays, even though you don’t have to queue up to eat in a restaurant, you still need food stamps and the cost is high, so most people are reluctant to part with it.

All in all, ordinary people rarely think of going to a restaurant at any time.

That is to say, only people with high wages like Yue Wenxuan can afford to go to restaurants.

Yue Wenxuan said: "Although the food stamps in my hand are not very many, it is still enough to treat you all to a meal."

When they heard that they were going to a restaurant at noon, not only the two children were very excited, but even the adult, the fourth child, was also looking forward to it.

When the restaurant didn't accept food stamps years ago, he queued up to get out of the restaurant. Since the restaurant started accepting food stamps, he has never been there again. Thinking back on the delicacies in the hotel, it’s really tempting.

Several people were looking forward to going to the restaurant for a big meal at noon. Whether they were doing housework, studying or playing around, they all felt a little more energetic.

Yue Wenxuan was packing things in the house when he heard the commotion and noise outside and didn't know what it was about.

After a while, Yue Qingmei went back to the house to get something, came to his side, and whispered:

"Dad, our new neighbors across the street are moving today. It's noisy. They have a lot of family members and a lot of stuff. Do you think I should go over and help?"

“The opposite door has been empty for a while, but finally someone has moved in, which is good.

Just don't go there, just do your business. After you're done, you still have to study. Your fourth brother and I will go over and take a look. "

Yue Wenxuan called the fourth child over, and the father and son walked into the new neighbor's house across the street together.

Opposite the door is a large room. It was originally designed as a large office, but was later divided into three small rooms by the previous owner. The area is not very large, and is much smaller than Yue Wenxuan's two rooms.

People in this era are very enthusiastic, especially when their neighbors are moving. Anyone who has time will basically go over and help.

Yue Wenxuan is old and has just recovered from a long illness, so naturally he will not help with manual labor, that is, he will come out to say hello to the neighbors across the door and get acquainted with each other. At this time, the opposite door was busy moving things up and downstairs. After a brief introduction, the fourth child followed busy moving things, not being able to chat for the time being.

Fortunately, there is not much furniture in this era. Today is Sunday again. The neighbors who were resting at home moved their things together. It took more than an hour in total to put all the furniture in place.

Under the enthusiastic concession of the owner of the door, the helper drank a glass of water and smoked a cigarette, had a brief chat, and then left each other.

Not long after Yue Wenxuan entered the house, the man opposite the door came over with half a bowl of red dates.

During the chat just now, Yue Wenxuan already had a basic understanding of the situation at the opposite door.

The male owner of the door opposite is named Niu Fenqiang. He looks about forty years old this year. His wife is not in good health and has never worked. My mother also lives with her. There are three children at home, so life is relatively difficult.

Niu Fenqiang is from Northeast China. He has been working in the food system since liberation. He is dedicated to his work and has been selected as a model worker for two consecutive years. He was able to move to this building, and the housing area was not small, mainly because of this.

After entering the door, Niu Fenqiang put half a bowl of red dates on the table and said enthusiastically:
"Director Yue, these are the big red dates from our northeastern mountains. They are very sweet. Bring them here for you to try."

"You're too polite. Such good red dates should be saved for the children to eat as snacks."

"There aren't many things, Director Yue, don't take it too seriously. It's not that we are stingy, it's just that we can't afford anything else at home. This is the first time the neighbors meet, and it's a little bit of our family's sincerity." Niu Fenqiang's tone was a little embarrassed.

Yue Wenxuan quickly said: "That's very generous. If you want to eat a red date these days, you don't know where to buy it. Your red dates are fat and big. You can't buy such good ones at the counter, so I will You are welcome."

Hearing Yue Wenxuan happily accept it, Niu Fenqiang's face suddenly showed a smile.

He continued: “My hometown is in the Northeast, and I am used to accumulating a large vat of sauerkraut in the winter, so I always bring this vat with me wherever I go.

It's just that the space in our corridor is too narrow. I put a big vat and it took up a large area of ​​the corridor. I don't know if it will affect your home? "

"The corridor is a public area, as long as it can be put down, no matter what the impact is, just be considerate to each other.

Your big tank is indeed a bit bigger. Fortunately, we are both on the east side and placed directly on the horizontal surface, so it will not have any impact on the neighbors.

If you were assigned to the middle, the vat would really not fit in. If it were placed in the corridor, people coming and going would not be able to pass. "

Yue Wenxuan told the truth.

Niu Fenqiang said with some embarrassment: "Some time ago, I came over to check out the place, and I really felt lucky. If it had been allocated to the middle of the corridor, I would have had no choice but to throw this vat into the cellar."

These residents who live in the buildings also have their own cellars, which are convenient for storing cabbage, radishes and potatoes in winter.

In November every year, the winter vegetables distributed to each household are basically taken to their homes and stored in the cellar.

Winter vegetables need to be eaten throughout the winter and must be stored in a cellar for long-term storage. If there is no cellar, they will all rot in less than a month or two.

The cellars of each of these residents in the building are also in the courtyard, but the area is not large.

Yue Wenxuan has not yet visited his cellar. After all, there is nothing in the cellar. All the winter vegetables have been eaten up, and now it is empty.

Niu Fenqiang had just moved and had a lot of things to do. After sitting for a while, he said goodbye and left.

After he left, the fourth child sat next to Yue Wenxuan and whispered: "I heard that Uncle Niu's family is not easy. A family of six has to rely on his salary to support them, and life is very difficult.

My aunt's health is not very good and she often needs to take medicine, which costs a lot of money.

Life is so difficult, but he is still willing to send half a bowl of red dates to our family. It seems that Uncle Niu is quite generous. "

"Your Aunt Niu and Grandma Niu look like very capable people. Although they don't have regular jobs, as long as they are willing to work hard, they can probably earn a lot of money to support their family even if they are making matchboxes or doing odd jobs."

Yue Qingmei also said beside her: "It would be nice to have such a family as neighbors. Their three children are very polite, and they are all good children at first glance."

"These half a bowl of red dates are very rare, and our family can't eat them for free."

Yue Wenxuan said to Yue Qingmei: "Put a bowl of dried sweet potatoes and send it to their family now. Our family's living conditions must be better no matter what, and we cannot take advantage of others."

Yue Qingmei was really reluctant to think of giving away such good dried sweet potatoes, but this was her father's arrangement, and she had no choice but to obey.

Yue Qingmei brought a bowl of dried sweet potatoes to him and returned after a while.

I was very happy when I came back. As soon as I entered the door, I said: "The grandma across the door was so enthusiastic. She stuffed fruit candies for me and made me brown sugar water. She also insisted on letting me bring back the bowl of dried sweet potatoes. I It took a long time to convince her to stay.

Grandma also told me that she was a good shoe maker. If there were no shoes at home in the future, just tell her and she would make them. "

"Since she said that, you will have no shoes to wear in the future, so I'm afraid you will really have to trouble her.

Neither your second sister-in-law nor your third sister-in-law can make cloth shoes, so you can't always let your elder sister-in-law make them. She also has to go to work and doesn't have that much time.

Since the grandma across the street has this skill, it's not impossible to find him in the future. We can make arrangements with her.

Now that my fishing skills are getting better and better, I can’t just eat it by myself every day. This will not have a good impact, so I can just exchange it with her, and also provide some nutrition for their children. "Yue Wenxuan immediately had a new idea.

People of this era, even city dwellers, usually wear cloth shoes most of the time, and cannot wear leather shoes every day.

There is no shortage of all kinds of shoes in Yue Wenxuan's space, but being able to exchange them with the neighbor across the door is a win-win situation for everyone, so you can consider it.
