My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 248 Shopping Festival

The difficult October has finally passed, and many people have not had time to breathe a sigh of relief. They did not expect that November will be more difficult than last month.

In November, the ration share was reduced again.

However, the reduction this time is not large, only a little bit, but the proportion of potatoes and sweet potatoes has increased significantly.

Compared with rations, the cold weather is also a huge test. I don't know what happened this year, it was much colder than the same period last year.

The strong wind, mixed with sand grains, slapped pedestrians vigorously, as if taking a cold shower, making people shiver all over.

Since November, the skylight in the courtyard has not been opened at all, and Mark's kennel has also been moved to the living room.

In such a cold day, it is not necessary to guard the door at night.

After get off work, Xu Dong drove to the temporary warehouse, and as usual, he brought back eight bags of rice.

After more than a month of "ant moving", he moved most of the 12 tons of rice in the warehouse back to his basement, and now there are only less than a hundred bags left.

No more than ten days at most, and you're done!
Back home, work done.

Holding a wet towel, Yang Lina came over to help her husband wipe off his sweat, and patted the dust on his body by the way.

"Husband, how many days will it take to finish the move?"

"About ten days, the warehouse expires at the end of the month, so there is no rush!" Xu Dong replied.

"Don't take any more risks next time. With so much rice, I can't sleep well these days." Yang Lina persuaded.

Right now food is expensive, so much rice, she really can't imagine how her husband got it.

Xu Dong comforted: "Didn't I tell you everything? We won't steal or rob. Your husband earned it back with his ability."

"It's not good if you earn it back. Our family has enough food, so don't go out and mess around."

"Okay, I promise you." Xu Dong said with his arms around his wife.

At seven o'clock in the evening, dinner at Lao Xu's family began.

Tonight, Mama Xu made two hot pots in total.

A spicy hot pot is for adults, and a three-fresh hot pot is mainly for children. It is the best time and most convenient to eat hot pot in cold weather.

"Grandma, I want fish balls." Er Bao said while holding out a bowl.

Mama Xu scooped up three balls for her second grandson with a spoon, then looked at her little grandson, "Xiao Bao, do you want fish balls?"

Xiao Bao nodded, "Grandma, I also want mushrooms."

"Okay, grandma will scoop up two large mushrooms for you."

Dabao's mother is in charge. The little guy's bowl is full of vegetables and tofu. Dabao usually likes to eat meat the most. He is getting fatter and fatter, and his little face is almost a ball.

Xu Ma couldn't bear it, so she had to ask Yang Lina to do it herself.

Lele was also treated the same way. The little girl looked depressed, and Xu Dong secretly put a fish ball in the padded jacket, but Lele ate it too quickly, grinning her teeth from the heat.

"Eat slowly."

Yang Lina was quite speechless, and poured a cup of soy milk for her little daughter.

"Thank you mom, mom...you are... nice..."

Yang Lina shook her head: "It's useless to flatter me. When you lose weight, mom won't care about you. You can eat whatever you want."

"Woooooooo..." Lele started crying.

"Okay." Xu Dong patted his daughter's little head, and comforted him: "Get up tomorrow morning and go for a run with Dad. It won't take a month to guarantee that you will lose weight."

"Wow...it's so cold in the morning, I can't get up!"

"Running at night has the same effect." Xu Dong laughed.

"All right!"

Compared with eating meat, it seems that running is not difficult.

……

After dinner, the family sat in the living room and watched TV. Yang Lina and Xu Ma sat together. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at their mobile phones and discussed together what to buy later.

Today is November 11th, after 10 o'clock in the evening, it is the annual shopping festival, and today happens to be Friday, tomorrow is the weekend off, so there is no need to worry about staying up late.

Last year, because of the big flare that hit the economy hard, countless websites went bankrupt, closed their doors, and everyone was too busy to take care of themselves, which caused the shopping festival to be interrupted for a year.

This year, several major e-commerce giants have finally slowed down, and they have suffocated their energy and are ready to scale up their moves.

In particular, the two e-commerce giants headed by Xuanmao.com and Aidoduo.com, this year is the first year for them to transform into second-hand goods trading platforms.

Both sides have paid a lot of money.

Take Aidoduo.com as an example. They raised [-] catties of grain through various channels, and then launched a spike activity on the shelves, which attracted countless netizens to look forward to it.

Xuanmao.com is also not to be outdone, and the activity is more direct. For every 100,000 yuan spent, the website will give away a catty of corn flour, with no upper limit.

Of course, the premise is that there is no refund.

Nowadays, those who pay for the Internet fee are rich people, and these people are the main force of current consumption. As for other people, life is almost impossible, and there is no spare money to buy this or that.

"Nana, this wool looks good, please add it to the shopping cart for me." Xu's mother quickly took a fancy to a woolen wool.

"Okay, I added it."

"Hey, there are still jerky sellers?" Mama Xu was very surprised.

Yang Lina explained: "Mom, this is rat meat. You can see the introduction on it. It should be specially bred in a farm."

"What price?" Xu Dong interrupted suddenly.

"Uh, the shopkeeper said that they only accept intra-city transactions, and that they must be exchanged with grain, and nothing else will be considered."

Xu Dong continued to ask: "Which city are they in?"

"Yangcheng." Yang Lina raised her head and stared at her husband closely, "You don't mean to buy it, do you? Let me tell you, rats have viruses and are unhealthy, so they shouldn't be eaten randomly."

Mama Xu echoed, "You're really crazy. What kind of mice do you eat? Our family doesn't lack meat. Third, don't be confused."

"Mom, I'm just curious." Xu Dong hastily said perfunctorily.

After dealing with his mother and wife, Xu Dong simply took out his mobile phone, but after searching, he did not find any rat meat sellers in the capital area.

Let him a little disappointed.

However, there are still a lot of good things on the Internet, pick and choose, and when you check out at midnight, the total is as high as more than 50.

Click Pay.

After the payment was successful, Xu Dong put down his phone, feeling as if his body had been hollowed out.

"Honey, how much did you spend in total?" Yang Lina asked excitedly.

"53, how about you?"

Before Yang Lina could speak, Mama Xu jumped three feet high and rushed to Xu Dong, "How much... what did you buy, and it cost more than 50?"

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law bought dozens of things, but only spent more than 20,000 yuan, and she just gritted her teeth.

"Our refrigerator is not enough. This time is a good opportunity. I bought a few refrigerators for spare use." Xu Dong explained.

"The refrigerator can't cost so much?" Yang Lina frowned.
