Jia's house in the middle of the night.
Jia Dongxu, dripping with sweat, lay down shivering, while Qin Huairu glanced at him contemptuously in the dark.
But then his expression changed and he leaned closer.
Qi Qi whispered, "Dongxu, look at how many kilograms of stick noodles we have at home. Including the ones sent by the uncle, there are only less than 20 kilograms. How are we going to survive?"
"Why don't you find a way to go home and see if you can bring back some food? At least the countryside should be better off than the city." Jia Dongxu trembled a little under Qin Huairu's touch.
"There is nothing left at home. You don't know. I went home during the autumn harvest. Hey, my family was given 50 kilograms of grain. We still have to eat it until the Chinese New Year. There are still four people in my family. Even if I My younger brothers and sisters eat less, and 50 pounds is not enough to last until the Chinese New Year. I am still thinking about what to do."
"Our mother must not be sending people to the countryside anymore. It will be the beginning of the month in two days. You should hurry up and get the rations by then. If you can't do it by then, I will discuss it with the master. Go to bed quickly. I have to go to work tomorrow. .”
Qin Huairu could still move, but was held down by Jia Dongxu. Although it was very moist, she had to eat it.
Outside the door, Jia Zhang's head was almost squeezed into the wall. Her eyes flashed, and she heard what she wanted to hear. Then she breathed a sigh of relief and climbed onto the bed lightly. If Jia Dongxu really wanted to send her to When she went to the countryside, there was nothing she could do. Let alone any righteousness that could tie people up, they were all people who had experienced the war. There were a few people who had righteousness in their hearts, but those who stuck to the rules were turned into ashes. The rest were just human beings. Refined.
To be honest, it's all an illusion.
At 6 o'clock in the morning, the whole compound seemed to have woken up, and smoke slowly came out of the chimneys of every house.
In fact, it’s not just Courtyard 95. Looking from a distance, there are scenes like this everywhere, day after day, year after year.
Everyone seems to have forgotten the whole hospital meeting last night. No matter who they see, they will say hello. Yi Zhonghai comes out to wash up. People in the circle are shouting enthusiastically, and the shouts are louder than the others. , and Yi Zhonghai also smiled and responded to everyone, without the angry glare last night at all.
Ma Teng discovered the fact that his space was five times that of the outside, which meant that he had to feed the chickens 10 times a day.
Ma Teng was a little broken, but it was also rewarding. One night, Ma Teng found 12 eggs in the chicken coop in the space.
This should be about the output of the five days outside, but the endless feeding left Ma Teng a little speechless.
Need to think of a way.
"Gay people can still only buy five today, but we have regulations. From next month, one person can only buy two."
As soon as Ma Teng arrived at the breakfast stall, the clerk saw Ma Teng coming and said directly without waiting for Ma Teng to speak.
"Okay, give me 5. Do you have a limit here?" Ma Teng took out the money and said.
"It's not a limited amount, it's just that we don't have that many things to receive. If I sell too many to you, other comrades won't be able to buy them."
"Okay, I'll talk to them when I get back. They should understand that I won't take them with me in the future." Ma Teng said and handed over the money, took the buns, took out one, bit it in his mouth, and held the others. Put it in the basket of the car, and it doesn't take much distance to ride out, and it can be stored directly into the space.
There are several large barrels in the corner of the space. One barrel contains braised pig heads, another barrel contains intestines, another barrel contains purchased cow offal, one barrel contains donkey offal, and another barrel contains It's all roast duck, with a few roast chickens on the side.
Further to the side, there is a large wooden barrel of rice and a large wooden barrel of steamed buns.
According to Ma Teng's estimation, this should be enough for him to live for one or two years, but the disaster lasted three years. Even after three years, it would take at least 10 years to recover.
It's not something that can be restored by talking about it. Three years is a bit reluctant, let alone 10 years. You still need to work hard.
Hey, it would be great if I had a system. I don’t have to do anything. I just have to sign in every day and there is endless food. I don’t have to go shopping everywhere by myself.
Ma Teng was riding a bicycle, holding on to the handlebars with one hand and grabbing the buns with the other, eating them one bite at a time.
The buns are really good, big, tasty and juicy.
"Morning."
"Why are you here so early?" Ma Teng came in and saw Zhang Liang busy at work. He saw that this boy was baking a cornmeal steamed bun. The aroma was already filling the air, but this boy was still baking.
"If you torture it any longer, it will become mushy." Ma Teng pointed at the nest.
"Hey, Ma Gong, it tastes best when it's all roasted. The outside is crispy and the inside is sweet. Mei Lin likes it best."
"No, is this roasted by your boy for that girl?"
"Of course, I swept the floor and fetched water for them, hehe." Zhang Liang smirked at Ma Teng.
"Fuck, lick the dog, did Meilin agree to let you go to her house?"
Zhang Liang didn't say anything, he just nodded, "We agreed, we'll go this Sunday."
"Okay, brother, I wish you immediate success, but you can't put any thought into it. People say you want to eat corn steamed buns, so why don't you give them corn steamed buns? You fool, here are two meat buns in exchange for your corn steamed buns." Ma Teng took out a paper bag from his pocket, opened it and let Zhang Liang take a look. Two large white flour buns were steaming inside, exuding an alluring smell.
Zhang Liang swallowed hard, a bun cost ten cents.
"Ma... Horseman, Master Ma, do you really want to trade with me?"
"Get out of here, stop acting like a villain, take it and bake the steamed bun for me." Ma Teng stuffed the steamed bun to him, and the boy took it and took a careful sniff, then carefully stuffed it into his pocket. , baked the steamed buns more carefully.
Ma Teng put two pinches of broken tea into his cup, poured water on it, and watched Zhang Liang bake steamed buns for himself.
Not to mention, it is almost done now and the taste is three times more fragrant than before.
"Master Ma, your roasted steamed bun is ready." Zhang Liang sent it over flatteringly.
"Well, that's right, Xiao Liangzi, if you're interested, please step back." Ma Teng waved his hand.
He happened to be seen by Brother Cheng who came in.
"I wonder where you two are going."
Zhang Liang handed in the task, touched his pocket, it was still warm, said hello to Brother Cheng and hurried out.
"What's this kid doing? He looked so lewd and almost hit me." Brother Shen walked in from outside wrapped in a cotton coat.
"I don't know. Ask the horseman. This guy was very attentive when I came here. He must have gotten something good." Brother Cheng lit the fire and said to Ma Tengnu.
"Haha, there's nothing good, so you two should stop guessing. The two buns were replaced with grilled and fragrant steamed buns. They taste surprisingly good." Ma Teng saw these two people looking at him and stopped teasing them. .
"Hang Cao, two steamed buns for one steamed bun? Do you still have any? I'll give you three steamed buns." Old Shen pretended to take it.
"What were you thinking about? No, I didn't notice that Liangzi's grandson can run faster than a rabbit. He must have sent it to Meilin. This kid just said that he would go to his house on Sunday to check in. The marriage is probably not far away. " Ma Teng broke off the steamed bun and drank tea.
"real or fake?"
"You can find out later when he comes back and ask."
………………
The entrance to the drawing room.
Zhang Liang looked around and looked in quietly.
"Linlin...Linlin." She called out twice.
A lesbian with an ordinary appearance, a thick and long black braid that reached directly to her buttocks, and an undistinguished figure turned around and said, "Brother Zhang, why are you here? Come in quickly."
"Zhang Liang, what's wrong with you today? It's like a thief." Liang Honghong carelessly pulled Zhang Liang over to the door.
"Sister Hong, don't I see that everyone is here? I want to say a few words to Linlin." Zhang Liang blushed and lowered his head, glancing at Wu Meilin who looked ashamed.
"Hey, why don't you do this? We can't eat you. If you have anything you can't say here, tell me, do you want to do anything bad to our Mei Lin?" Han Yuxiang pinched her waist with one hand and moved towards Zhang Liang with the other. The ears passed.
Sure enough, married women are tough, Zhang Liang couldn't afford to offend her, so he quickly shouted for mercy.
A roomful of girls were laughing their heads off.
Zhang Liang didn't dare to look around, so he could only help his own Wu Meilin for help.
"Sister Yuxiang, Sister Hong, maybe Liangzi really has something to do with me. I'll go and have a word with him." After that, he took Zhang Liang and ran out.
"Don't let go yet." When they got outside, Zhang Liang still grabbed Mei Lin's hand tightly. Mei Lin hit him hard with her hand.
Zhang Liang then let go of his hand.
But he immediately took out two big meat buns that were still warm from his pocket and handed them to Wu Meilin.
"Linlin, eat it while it's hot, big meat buns."
"Did you buy it?"
"No, I exchanged the baked cornmeal buns and Ma Gong. He likes to eat these. Eat them quickly. They won't taste good after a while."
"Idiot, you didn't eat."
"I'm fine. It's fine if I skip a meal. You can't go hungry."
"Then... let's eat one, and I'll keep the other home to eat." Wu Meilin said, taking out one, folding the bag and putting the remaining one in her pocket.
Break it in half from the middle. Fortunately, the oily soup of the bun has not spilled out.
The two of them just leaned together and ate happily.
Not far away, Wang Qinglin and a few guys squatted in a corner and watched happily.
"horse worker, why don't you go take a look." Brother Shen raised his head and looked outside the door. It was a bit far away and he could only see two figures from behind. If he hadn't taken a fancy to his status as an old man, he would have met Wang Qinglin earlier. The boy ran out to watch the fun.
"What's so good about this? Two young men. Lang has a crush on his concubine. Liang Zi likes them. This is more important than anything else, so that they can live together well in the future."
"Ah? Horseman, are you really not married?"
"What are you thinking about? I'm only 19. How can I get married?" Ma Teng looked at him angrily.
"But I think your summary is more insightful than that of a married person." Brother Shen gave Ma Teng a thumbs up.
"You can do the same by gossiping less and reading more."
Ma Teng threw him a walnut.
Looking at Brother Cheng, he was so happy.
"Old Cheng, why are you laughing?"
"Nothing to laugh at, hahaha..."
Ma Teng ignored these two people and continued to read his book.
