Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 232, where is it small?
Yang Xiaole watched Xiaoli squatting on the ground, sticking her butt out and peeking at his bag.

So I stood up.

He opened the bag directly and placed it on the table.

Under the curious eyes of everyone, he started to take things outside.

"Dad, take these two cigarettes and smoke them, be careful!"

He took out two big cocks and placed them directly on the table.

Knowing that cigarettes will require tickets in the future, I naturally stocked up on some of each type before, especially those cigarettes that do not require tickets.

As for asking his father to smoke less, he didn't say anything.

As a smoker in his previous life, he naturally knew that he couldn't be persuaded to do so. He could understand this by looking at those who couldn't help but use tree leaves as cigarettes.

Yang Guangzhi saw two cigarettes, took them over and looked at them: "Hey, where did you get them?"

"Pick it up!"

Yang Xiaole teased and took some tea leaves from inside: "Here, keep it for yourself and drink it yourself. Don't show it off."

This is good tea bought on Hong Kong Island. The packaging has been disposed of and replaced with local newspapers.

Yang Guangzhi took a large bag of tea and teased curiously: "You picked this too?"

"Oh, this is not it, this is picked from a tree!"

Hearing this, Yang Guangzhi rolled his eyes and kept talking about the train all day long.

Anyway, he couldn't tell which of his son's words was true and which was false, and he couldn't even ask.

Simply no longer ask.

He happily put the things away, opened one package and put it on the table, and put the others away.

Yang Xiaole looked at the three people who were looking forward to it, and took out a paper package with a smile: "This is chocolate. Go inside and eat it later. Don't take it out to eat, do you hear me?"

"Really!"

Xizi looked happy.

I have been in the city for such a long time, and I have visited shopping malls many times, although I haven't bought much.

But they still heard about the weird ones.

Of course Chocolate knows.

This thing is super expensive, two yuan a pound more, and it also requires candy tickets. Ordinary people really can't afford it.

There are few restaurants in the whole compound that have eaten it.

Fang Mengmeng, the grandson of Uncle Wang's family and the newly moved Shi Jing.

These are the few I tasted during the Chinese New Year.

Several people happily took their things and entered the back room.

Yang Xiaole looked at the happy people and sighed. There were a lot of good things in his space, but he couldn't take them out.

The only ones who can take over these things without any scruples seem to be Hua Yourong and his family.

Anyway, their family composition has been decided, and the presence or absence of these things does not have much impact on them.

Only food can be taken out, after all, it is a consumable item.

Nothing else works.

"Hey, what is this? It tastes so bad!"

In the midst of his thoughts, Xizi's voice of disgust came from the room, accompanied by the eldest sister's scolding voice: "Don't throw up. Otherwise, I'll beat you."

Yang Xiaole heard this voice and walked over with a smile.

In fact, it was normal. Chocolate at this time was still an imported product, and most of it was sugar-free dark chocolate.

Even with added sugar, the sweetness is relatively low.

When Xizi came in, her mouth was full of brown paste, sticking out her tongue with a look of disgust on her face.

As for the eldest sister and Xiaoli, they were tasting it in small sips.

"Isn't it delicious?"

Yang Xiaole looked at Xizi and asked with a smile.

Xizi pouted and nodded: "It's not delicious. Unfortunately, Xuewen is still squeaking in front of me! I thought it was so delicious!"

After speaking, he blinked his mouth.

Then he changed his words: "It tastes weird, but it doesn't seem that bad? I'll try it again."

Then he took another bite of the chocolate in his hand.

Savor it there.

Yang Xiaole ignored him. It's not surprising that you need to adapt to anything new.

I saw Xiaoli just licking her fingers.

Because the chocolate melted where you pinched it.

"Brother, delicious!"

Xiaoli raised her head with a smile and smiled at him.

"If it's delicious, eat more. I brought a lot."

Yang Xiaole smiled and told the elder sister next to her: "Sister, please keep some of it out, put the rest away, and put it away later."

"Well, I'll put it away!"

The eldest sister nodded when she heard this. This thing felt quite unpalatable at first, but as she ate it she felt quite delicious.

It is estimated that these two little guys will definitely want to eat after a while.

"Hey, give me a little, give me a little!"

Xizi hurriedly grabbed a handful, and Xiaoli followed suit and grabbed some.

The two of them had their mouths full and their hands full.

Yang Xiaole ignored it and thought of something that pulled her eldest sister back: "By the way, sister, has Qu Guohai been causing trouble during this time? Has Qu Ying moved out?"

Hearing this, the eldest sister stopped and shook her head: "Qu Ying didn't move out. She asked Director Sun to move out. Qu Guohai said that the house belonged to his family and they had to stay together, so they didn't let him move out. But it was noisy. There was no fuss.”

After saying that, he thought of something and said mysteriously: "Hey, let me tell you! This Qu Guohai is really capable and actually got a job."

Yang Xiaole was surprised: "Did you get a job?"

Can you not surprise him?
It's not that he can't get his current job, otherwise his father's job wouldn't be possible, it's just that the policy is there now.

For ordinary people, it is very difficult.

"Yes, not only did I get it, but it's also in a food factory!"

After the eldest sister finished speaking, she took her things and left.

Yang Xiaole nodded.

He glanced at the cellar in the corner subconsciously, and then frowned.

After leaving the room, he looked at his father who was enjoying a cigarette there. He frowned and asked, "Dad, how many sweet potatoes did you give them? Why is there only so much left?"

Their family has consumed a lot of three thousand kilograms of sweet potatoes in the past few months, after all, they have a large family.

But it won’t consume that much.

Now there are only about five or six hundred kilograms left in the cellar.

Yang Guangzhi took the cigarette and smashed it on his fingernails.

After waiting for a while, he said: "Give some to your aunt and some to your grandpa."

"anything else?"

It is impossible for two families to give so much.

Hearing this, Yang Guangzhi sighed: "Someone is coming from Zhuangzi. You said that they came all the way and there are so many sweet potatoes at home. Do you think I can refuse to give them to you? I will discuss it with your mother. Just sold some.”

Yang Xiaole thought about it for a while after listening.

Didn't ask again.

With him at home, there would be no shortage of food. It was not without the intention of helping others that he built such a big cellar.

After checking the time, he saw that it would be dinner time for a while, so he said, "I'm going out and I'll be back in a while."

The eldest sister just came out. When she heard this, she quickly asked: "You just came back and your butt is not warm yet! Why did you run away? Are you going to eat tonight?"

"Eat! Sister, make chicken noodle soup tonight."

Yang Xiaole said with a smile.

"I still have chicken noodle soup~ No! I only have two kilograms of white noodles left at home. Mom is going to eat them with glutinous rice balls during the Lantern Festival the day after tomorrow!"

"What's wrong? Can't buy food?"

Seeing the eldest sister's expression, Yang Xiaole thought of something and asked her.

The eldest sister nodded: "Yes!"

Yang Xiaole heard this and thought for a moment: "Just do it. I'll find a way later. I know someone at the grain station."

Gao Song, who he met last time when he helped Qu Ying find food books, can now be used as a shield.

Hearing this, the eldest sister nodded and said nothing more.

After coming out, he rode his bike towards the distance.

Just as he was about to turn into the alley, he saw the carriage in the distance slow down.

Zhang Laohan and Zhang Liuer?

Seeing the man driving the carriage and the girl sitting behind, Yang Xiaole was confused.

What are they doing here?
Although it is February, the weather is still very cold. Zhang Liuer is wearing a cotton-padded jacket and a hat, with her back to Old Man Zhang and her neck hunched.

Yang Xiaole is also wearing a hat.

When the car passed by, Zhang Laohan didn't pay too much attention, he just looked for the door.

It didn't take long to arrive at their compound.

However, Zhang Laohan and Zhang Liuer explained for a while, tied the mule to the horse-tying stone outside, and did not let her in, so he went in alone.

Seeing this scene, Yang Xiaole became curious for a while.

I already had a rough idea of ​​what was going on.

It should be food.

Thinking of this, he rode back again.

"Hey, get out of the way, the brakes are broken. Get out of the way."

Hearing the sound, Zhang Liuer turned her head strangely and looked over. She was startled when she saw the car riding towards her.

"Crench!"

When the car was approaching, Yang Xiaole stopped the car.

"Yang~Xiao~le~"

When she heard the voice, she already knew who it was.

After reacting, she gritted her teeth and walked over.

"Touch~~"

He punched him on the arm and said, "You're going to die. What if I hit you?"

Seeing his expression, Yang Xiaole smiled, looked into the yard and asked curiously: "What are you doing? I think your father went in."

Hearing this, Zhang Liuer was confused for a while: "Isn't this that your production team got some grain from you? My father knows about it and wants to come over and buy some."

Yang Xiaole nodded upon hearing this.

"oh, I see!"

Just as he guessed, there is no airtight wall in the world, and since it was purchased openly, there were naturally not so many scruples.

Unlike the last time Yang Qingwu came to buy food secretly.

Then he asked: "How do you go to your father's house?"

Zhang Liuer looked inside and sighed: "The day after tomorrow is not the Lantern Festival! My father said he would send me here to stay for two days and send me back on the night of the Lantern Festival. This is not to get some food from your family. …”

Then he said a few words.

Yang Xiaole understood what it meant.

It’s still the issue of Zhang Liuer’s custody rights.

There is no food in the countryside.

Zhang Laohan couldn't bear his daughter to suffer along with him, but he was unwilling to return his daughter to Zhang Liuer's biological father.

Why don't you come and buy some food?
If he bought it, he would feel at ease, and he would be fine after the summer harvest.

Then he thought about it and smiled and said: "What do you mean, if my father doesn't give you this food, your family won't be able to hold on to food anymore, and you might come to the city?"

Zhang Liuer took a deep breath and said, "Absolutely, but it's not just your family. My father is also planning to go to other places to look. If he really can't get food, he might really take me back."

After Yang Xiaole listened, he looked at her expression and knew that she was actually very conflicted.

No one knows what to do if this happens.

Unless he is the kind of person who only wants to recognize his biological mother and come to the city to enjoy happiness, but Zhang Liuer is obviously not such a person.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have dragged on to this point.

As long as Zhang Liuer cried and said that he was going to the city to find his biological parents, Zhang Laohan was so frustrated that he let go of his scruples.

Yang Xiaole stretched his head and looked inside.

Then he joked: "Then I'll go in and ask my father not to give me food."

"Hey, don't..." Zhang Liu'er quickly refused.

"Uh? What's going on?"

Seeing his confused expression, Zhang Liuer said sheepishly: "It's not just for me, my dad also needs to eat!"

"Haha, I'm kidding you!"

Yang Xiaole smiled and then said, "I won't interfere in their affairs, lest you accuse me of doing bad things and separate you, father and daughter."

In fact, he should be able to guess the ending.

As long as there is no one to help their family and they are short of food in the future, Zhang Laohan will let Zhang Liuer come to the city whenever he feels a little sorry for her. It is only a matter of time.This made him a little confused.

To help or not to help!

Zhang Liuer glared at him angrily when he heard this: "What are you talking about!"

Yang Xiaole smiled when he saw this, looked at a few cloth bags on the carriage, thought for a while, got out of the car, and parked the car.

I took off the old opera noodle bag from the car.

"Hey, what are you doing? What is this?"

Zhang Liuer saw him putting things inside and hurriedly came over and asked.

Yang Xiaole looked around and saw no one he knew, and then said: "There are thirty kilograms of white flour and some bacon in here. I will take it back later. Your father will come over later and see it. Let's talk about it when we get back. Don't say it here. Did you hear that?”

Zhang Liuer was startled when he heard this.

"No, no, what will your family do if you give me so much? Your father is not allowed to beat you to death!"

Yang Xiaole shook his head nonchalantly: "Don't worry, you don't know that our family bought a lot of sweet potatoes. We ate a lot of sweet potatoes before and saved a lot of food. Just think of it as borrowing it from me."

Zhang Liuer was confused after hearing this: "But, but...this...you tell my father, I can't be the master of this."

"Hey, don't worry. When your father asks, you can talk about it when you go back. When you go back, you can tell me that this is a gift from our family. Don't marry you to just anyone in the future."

Yang Xiaole still made a joke.

Seeing her getting angry, she knew she couldn't go too far, so she quickly smiled and said, "Okay, I'm kidding you! You're like you, you have a body but not a figure, you have a butt but not a butt, but your face is okay, you I don’t like this, there are so many beautiful students in the city waiting for me!”

Zhang Liuer gritted her teeth after hearing this: "Yang~Xiao~le~, you are a gangster? Why do I have no butt, no... no more, Xiao Min and the others said... they all said..."

At this point, she was speechless.

Her chest heaved with anger and her face turned red.

Yang Xiaole heard this and asked seriously: "What did they say? What did you say?"

But seeing her embarrassed expression, he laughed, pushed the car and said, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore, I have something else to do! Remember not to talk about this thing here. Did you hear me? I'm leaving. !”

After saying a boost, he got in the car and left.

Looking at his leaving figure, Zhang Liuer secretly spat: "Rogue~ He still has the same virtue!"

But then he looked at himself, turned his head to look at his butt, and touched his front and back a little with his hands.

There they muttered: "Really or not? Xiao Min and the others clearly said it was big!"

Then he reacted and his face turned red instantly.

Take a deep breath.

Looking at Yang Xiaole's leaving figure, he gritted his teeth and silently scolded him eight hundred times in his heart.

Yang Xiaole rode his bike directly towards Sidaowan Hutong.

As for food, he didn't bother to take care of it.

Even if the sweet potatoes are left out, they won't last long. Dried sweet potatoes can be left out, but most people will probably object.

Because except for him, everyone probably feels that the summer harvest will definitely bring in food, but now it is just a lack of food, and he thinks that he can get over it if he bites the bullet.

If he goes against everyone and turns sweet potatoes into dried sweet potatoes, the whole compound will probably regard him as a monster.

When she came to Qiao Yan's side, she saw two old bicycles parked at the back door.

He was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses.

This is a car bought by Dalong and Xiaohu.

The car was parked, he took out the key and opened the back door.

As soon as the door opened, he saw Qiao Yan looking this way.

When he saw him coming, the other party also had a look of surprise on his face.

Yang Xiaole watched her standing on the edge of the yard with a hoe. Behind her were a lot of reclaimed land, which looked like farming.

"What are you doing?"

Qiao Yan glanced at the ground and said blankly: "It's such a big place to grow vegetables! I can't even buy vegetables now, so I just want to grow some vegetables. I won't have to buy vegetables in the future. This...isn't this okay? ?”

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole took a look.

this yard.

The entire yard is more than 60 square meters, almost an area of ​​land.

Three-thirds of the private land in the countryside can support a family's food expenses, and even if half of the yard is built, it will still be enough for her.

have to.

Just plant vegetables~
Anyway, in the second half of the year, the entire street office will probably start mobilizing city residents to grow vegetables in nooks and crannies.

"Okay, you can plant it. Do you know how to do it?"

"Yes! Yes!"

When Qiao Yan heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief and nodded quickly.

"Uncle Mouse!"

While talking, Hu Zi's voice came from the door of the hall.

"Okay, get busy!"

Yang Xiaole explained to Qiao Yan, then turned around and went to the main room.

After coming over, he asked as he walked: "Come here to deliver something?"

Huzi followed in with a smile; "Well, Dalong and I came here to deliver something. We just heard a sound and it scared us. We didn't dare to make a sound for a long time."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole nodded.

After entering, I saw an empty room. I didn't see the figure of Dalong. I saw it was at the bottom!
Everything I bought before is gone.

Upon seeing this, Huzi hurriedly moved the rice vat to expose the ground and opened a rope from the gap.

A pull.

There was a gap in the ground in the corner of the wall not far away.

When he opened it slightly, he saw Lin Junsheng's head exposed.

"Uncle Mouse! Who am I talking about!"

Yang Xiaole squatted beside him and said with a smile: "You're right to be careful. What's going on down there? Let me take a look!"

After hearing his words, Lin Junsheng hurriedly went down again.

Upon seeing this, Yang Xiaole went down the steps made of earth.

After coming down, there is a space of about ten square meters, with a height of about 1.8 meters, and a smell of lime powder.

There were wooden boards on the ground inside, and a lot of things were piled on them.

Yang Xiaole looked at it for a moment.

All kinds of cigarettes, wine, cans, boxes of biscuits... there are a lot of them in a mess, with the wine and cans taking up the most space, and some starch.

Canned foods include canned fruits and canned meat.

These things are not cheap, costing one or two yuan a can, and canned meat costs two or three yuan. Only visiting relatives will buy one or two cans, and ordinary families rarely buy them specially to eat.

Almost the entire basement was filled.

There is still strength in numbers, and if it were the three of them, they definitely wouldn't be able to fill it up so quickly.

Lin Junsheng looked at him and said directly: "Uncle Mouse, canned meat seems to be out of stock. I have visited several grocery stores in the past few days. Even the Xidan department store is gone. There is almost no bulk wine on the market now." Here we are, there are only some restaurants and pubs left, do you want to go to the restaurant to stock up? There are quite a few canned fish."

Yang Xiaole thought about it for a while.

It’s normal to run out of canned meat.

Priority should be given to ensuring the general meat consumption of citizens, followed by canned and other non-staple foods.

Nowadays, we can’t even guarantee it in the vegetable market. Where can we find meat for canning?

As for wine, it’s no wonder that small factories don’t have enough grain to make wine. This should be the result of coordination from above.

Maybe they are waiting for summer food to come down.

But he wasn’t hoarding goods for the sake of hoarding goods.

After thinking for a moment, he asked, "What else can I buy on the market now?"

Lin Junsheng thought for a while and said: "Many items in the grocery store are empty and cannot be stocked. The shelves are full of empty boxes. They say they will be available when the goods arrive later."

Yang Xiaole nodded gently when he heard this: "Okay, then you guys have finished buying it. Is the money enough?"

Almost everything related to food on the market is basically inseparable from food. Without raw materials, many factories have to shut down.

I guess the situation regarding marine fish will be better.

"There are quite a few more. I'll give you the list later."

"No hurry! Let's go up!"

When I left last time, I gave several thousand yuan to put here to buy things for them, because I was worried that I would be out for a long time.

Lin Junsheng nodded and followed up.

After coming up, Huzi shut down the machine there. Lin Junsheng thought of something and said to him: "By the way, Uncle Mouse, we may not be able to do these things when school starts."

Yang Xiaole was puzzled for a while after hearing this.

"what happened?"

Lin Junsheng and Hu Zi looked at each other and said a little embarrassedly: "That's it. My dad and Hu Zi's dad went to the service agency several times this month. They told me that in the short term, I can't arrange work, and my dad said that they rarely have work pulling goods at the train station now. They used to be busy all day long, but now they only make a few trips a day, and barely make thirty yuan. So they let us still go to school.”

Yang Xiaole nodded lightly when he heard the words and thought about it.

After thinking for a while, he finally nodded: "Okay! You go to school."

Anyway, there is nothing to do when he goes to school. When I have time, they will also have time, so just call them.

It’s still some time away from those years!
It was enough for him to develop slowly.

Hearing this, Lin Junsheng breathed a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly said: "Uncle Mouse, if anything happens to you, just say hello to us."

Yang Xiaole looked at the two people and thought for a moment, "It's okay to go to school, but it's not just to fool you in the past six months. You two go to a technical secondary school."

Hearing this, Huzi smiled: "Uncle Moozi, please don't use the two of us to play cymbals. We are the only ones with the grades of a technical secondary school! Then we are all cadres!"

It's not like they don't know what their academic performance is like.

If their grades are good, they will not be deprived of school in the last half year.

Yang Xiaole saw this and smiled: "What's wrong? Don't you want to go?"

"I think about it, how could I not want to, but there's no chance."

Dalong also smiled beside him.

Seeing the expressions of the two people, Yang Xiaole smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about this. Not all schools require excellent results."

Let two people go to technical secondary schools, he naturally has his own purpose.

When Lin Junsheng heard this, he thought about it for a moment, and then he immediately came to his senses.

He hesitated and asked: "Uncle Mouse, are you talking about traffic school?"

Yang Xiaole nodded when he heard this: "Yeah, that's right, but it's not a traffic school, but a Kyoto driving school."

Knowing what would happen in the future, he had already studied it among himself.

Either skip a grade or go to a technical secondary school.

The Kyoto Transportation Academy is a training place that delivers drivers to various units across the city, but it is basically filled with people recommended by various units or troops.

But there is a driving branch there, and these are specially selected from junior high school students.

Mainly to send drivers to government agencies, which requires some knowledge. They cannot be illiterate or only know a few words.

As for those illiterate drivers before, there was nothing they could do.

Basically, they all retired from the army, and a few of them knew how to read.

Lin Junsheng shook his head: "I guess not. Although the score to get into that school is not very high, it is too difficult to get in."

"It's okay! You have half a year left to study hard, and I'll find a way for you."

It's not impossible for him to help a few people improve to the point where they can take the technical secondary school exams in half a year, but they have to work together to attack. He doesn't have the time to tutor two people, and he also has an eldest sister at home who needs to be tutored!

After speaking, he walked outside.

The two looked at each other with a hint of excitement.

You must know that if you can go to driving school, you will be a glorious driver after you come out!
It's something that everyone envies these days.

It’s just that both of them were surprised, how could Yang Xiaole have such a solution!
When they came to the yard, Yang Xiaole looked at Qiao Yan. It had been nearly a month since she came to this yard.

At this time, Qiao Yan was no longer as skinny as before.

Although he is still very thin, at least his big eyes are no longer as pitiful and scary as before.

"Hey, Qiao Yan, do you have enough money?"

After what happened last time, Qiao Yan returned the key to the door to him without asking for his money. So much time had passed.

Qiao Yan held the shovel and nodded: "Yes, it's enough."

"Okay, I'll leave first if I have something else to do. You guys are busy with your work."

Yang Xiaole nodded when he heard this, looked at the yard and prepared to leave.

Lin Junsheng thought of something and said to him: "Hey, Uncle Mouse, Sun Ming was looking for you a few days ago!"

"Sun Ming? Who is it?"

Yang Xiaole was confused for a moment.

"Oh, it's Brother Dao!"

After hearing this, Yang Xiaole realized that he only remembered the nickname, not the name.

Then he asked strangely: "He is looking for me? Why is he looking for me?"

Last time at the skating rink, the other party helped him. Although it seemed unnecessary to him, it was still a head-butt.

Lin Junsheng shook his head: "I don't know about this, what Heizi said."

"Let me go and see him?"

"That's not true. Let's just meet up one day if we have time."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole felt strange for a while, why are you looking for him?
They don’t know each other!
