Siheyuan: With a system in place, you don’t need to worry in times of famine

"Uncle Li. You guys will have lunch here at noon today. I've already told Grandma Meng."

Ye Fei walked into the room, looked at the people who were busy, and spoke.

"what?

We brought our own food, so we don’t need to go through so much trouble.”

When Old Li heard this, he quickly spoke.

When they work for others, they are not provided with food, so they will prepare cakes in advance, and when it is time for dinner, all they need is a cup of hot tea from the host.

Now everyone has a ration, and each person is given a certain amount of food. Basically, everyone eats their own food. There is no extra food for others to eat, and they have become accustomed to it.

Now when he heard Ye Fei say this, a look of surprise flashed across his face.

“Everything has been prepared, and Grandma Meng has started to get busy.

Uncle Li, you don't have to be so polite."

Ye Fei briefly explained it, and then said:

"I'm going to work first, you guys get busy."

Old Li looked at Ye Fei's receding back, his heart slightly moved, he glanced at his son, and said quickly:

"The master provides us with food, so we have to work hard!"

"Got it, Dad."

After the father and sons finished talking, they lowered their heads and started working. Their enthusiasm was even greater than before.

If you can have hot meals, who would want to eat those dry biscuits or hard steamed buns?

Especially in such cold weather, they want to eat something hot.

......

After Grandma Meng kneaded the dough, she put it aside to wake up, and then began to cook the meal skillfully.

Looking at the pork belly with alternating fat and lean texture, Grandma Meng directly cut off a small piece.

Ye Fei is a very honest kid, and he asked her to help with cooking, so naturally she had to consider Ye Fei a little.

There is so much meat, so just cut it into a small piece. Let Ye Fei take the rest back.

Anyway, the weather is cold, so the meat can be preserved.

Even if it was just a small piece, the aroma of meat spread out when Grandma Meng was cooking.

When the deaf old lady smelled the fragrance, she couldn't sit still.

She hadn't eaten meat for a long time, and the aroma was so tempting.

Swallowing her saliva, the deaf old lady looked at Qin Kai playing outside and quickly called over:

"Xiao Kai..."

"Old lady, what's wrong?"

When Qin Kai heard the voice, he immediately jumped over.

He was still a little afraid of the deaf old lady. He always felt that her eyes were too sharp and people dared not look at them.

"Where's your grandma?"

"My grandma is cooking."

"Oh, you're cooking. That's good. I was wondering why I smelled such a delicious aroma."

The deaf old lady smiled and said:

"Xiao Kai, look at me, it's not very convenient for me to walk. Can you tell your grandma to bring me a bowl of rice when the meal is ready?

I’m old now, and my hands and feet are not convenient…”

"Then I'll have to ask my grandma."

After hearing this, Qin Kai said something directly and then walked into the house.

When Grandma Meng heard Qin Kai's words, she paused while cooking, feeling somewhat helpless:

"Got it, Xiaokai, you can play in the house first, I'll go tell the old lady later."

Another house that exuded a fragrance was Sha Zhu's house.

Sha Zhu and Chen Meijuan came back and bought a lot of meat and vegetables, and Jia Zhang and others also saw it.

Especially now that Sha Zhu showed his hands himself, the fragrance filled the whole yard.

Jia Zhang sniffed hard, her stomach growled instantly, she took a bite of the steamed bread helplessly and cursed:

"Didn't that idiot Shazhu just bring home a girlfriend?

He actually eats meat, why don't you eat him to death! "

"Mom, why don't we buy some meat? I haven't eaten meat for a long time."

Jia Dongxu lost his desire to eat. Looking at the pickles and steamed buns in the bowl in front of him, he threw his chopsticks directly to the ground to express his determination.

He knew Jia Zhang's temper. If he didn't come at her harshly, she would definitely not agree.

"Dongxu, this..."

Jia Zhang's face was full of hesitation. Now the family had no income and could only live on the savings from before.

Especially recently, after Jia Dongxu broke his leg, he became even more greedy.

Before, they could only eat meat during the Chinese New Year, but recently they have been drinking bone soup and eating meat.

The Chinese New Year is approaching and she needs to prepare things for the New Year. There are only a few stocks at home and she really doesn't want to spend any.

As for the compensation given by the steel rolling mill when Lao Jia died, it cost a lot of money to marry Qin Huairu.

The little bit left is her pension money, and she must not touch it unless it is absolutely necessary.

"Look, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. How about we wait until the Chinese New Year to have a good meal?!"

"No, I want to eat now!"

Jia Dongxu said relentlessly:

"My leg is broken, so I should eat more good food to make up for it.

Now I just want to eat some meat, but you won’t buy it for me?!

Are you just going to watch my leg never get better? ”

Jia Dongxu made a harsh statement directly. He just wanted to eat meat and didn't care about so many things. After all, when he got into trouble, the hundred yuan was taken away by his mother.

"It's okay if I don't eat. This family will depend on you from now on. Go out and work to earn money.

Anyway, my leg won’t get better in a short time.

How can it be cured without some good supplements? !

I might as well be a cripple for the rest of my life."

"Bah bah bah."

When Jia Zhang heard this, she immediately spat on the ground a few times and said with a grim expression:

"Dongxu, you should spit on the ground a few times, but don't say anything unlucky."

"I want to eat meat."

"Okay, Mom will get you some meat. Now spit it out on the ground."

Seeing that Jia Zhang had loosened her grip, Jia Dongxu spat a few times on the ground:

“Is this okay?!

Mom, buy me some meat!"

"Okay, got it."

Jia Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, and without thinking, she called Qin Huairu and said:

"Huai Ru, take Xiao Dang to find Sha Zhu and tell him that Xiao Dang wants to eat meat."

"Mom, this isn't a good idea, is it?!"

Qin Huairu disagreed and said:

"Silly Zhu's girlfriend is here, and it's not a good idea for us to go to her house so openly."

“What’s wrong with that?

Aren't neighbors supposed to love each other?!

Their family has improved their lives, so why can't they help our Jia family? !

Besides, I just saw with my own eyes the food Shazhu and the others bought. There were so many dishes that the two of them definitely couldn’t finish them all!"

What Jia Zhang said was a matter of course, and Qin Huairu rolled her eyes inwardly.

I don’t know who gave her mother-in-law the confidence to say such things.

The situation in the entire courtyard now is completely different from before. Yi Zhonghai is no longer the big boss. Without Yi Zhonghai, there is no one to take care of their family.

If he doesn't restrain himself and continues to behave like before, how can he end up well? !
