A leisurely life reborn in the fiery age

Chapter 147
"Sister Zhao, why do you want to go to Pigeon City?"

Li Yuan found out a licorice apricot and gave it to Xing'er to eat, and asked Widow Zhao.

Widow Zhao smiled and said: "In the past two years, who has a little family background, who doesn't go to the pigeon market? Actually, I have been there several times, but these two times I always feel that someone is following behind me. I'm still a little panicked. After thinking about it, I thought of asking you to help me. Don't you have a bicycle, give me a ride. I won't let you run in vain, and I will give you three catties of stick noodles!"

Li Yuan said with a smile: "Now in the pigeon market, a catty of stick noodles can probably be sold for [-] cents, right?"

In [-], a pound of stick noodles cost only eight cents.

Widow Zhao curled her lips and said: "It seems that you have never been to the Pigeon Market, Bamao? Bamao is an old calendar! It's already one yuan and five catties, and it's still going up! By the end of the year, stick noodles will probably fly Go to three yuan. It’s better to turn around next year as you said, or our family will not be able to support it. I heard that in the rural areas of other provinces, one person only has such a ration of ten catties a year. God, what is going on these days Pass……"

Li Yuan didn't want to bring up such a heavy topic, he said: "Sister-in-law Zhao, don't go...don't worry, I'll go shopping tonight, you've been watched by someone, show up again, it's scheduled to happen Conflict, it’s better not to go. I’ll help you buy the stick noodles. I’ll buy [-] catties first. Your family’s ration, plus these [-] catties, should be able to last until the end of the month. I’ll run every month from now on, you It's definitely not safe for a woman to run to the black market in the middle of the night. If something happens to you, your two children will be lost."

Widow Zhao was slightly moved, and after thinking about it, she thought it was okay, so she gave Li Yuan the money and refused to accept it.

After Widow Zhao left, Li Yuan collected the money, of course he would not go to Pigeon Market.

There are dragons and snakes mixed together, the more it is before dawn, the darker it is.

People who are crazy may not be able to do everything, but people who are extremely hungry can really do everything.

Don't talk about other people, if it were him, seeing his wife and children starving to death, he would find a way to cheat.

Morality, humanity?
All of them are going to starve to death, these are nothing!

What better place to start than outside the black market?
Although he has learned kung fu for two years and has some talent, he is still far from being invincible.

What's more, the current number of domestic guns can be described as a flood.

Heideng ran to the black market blindly, and if he was shot black, he would have nowhere to reason...

He has a negative system by his side, and in most cases he can predict danger.

But it is not without flaws.

If someone is purely hot-headed, has no hatred or hatred, and wants to shoot a gun for no reason, then he will not feel it.

At that time, wouldn't it be unfair?

Although the possibility of this is slim, there are still certain risks after all.

So Li Yuan decided not to go, and went back to the grain dealer directly, selling a few catties of grain to Widow Zhao.

Because of the emergence of pressurized water wells, the expected extreme difficulties of rural families did not appear, which also made it possible to consume less than [-]% of the food saved in the past three years.

The main reason is that the family feels sorry for him and does not want to eat more of the food he saved.

Every time I persuaded each other, I said that compared to other families, my family is already ten times better, and a hundred times better, so how can I prepare for a calamity year?

So there are still a few tons of grain in the space, and selling twenty or thirty catties a month to Widow Zhao is nothing.

Originally, he planned to mask his face and make up, and find a few old people and children to exchange food for some antiques.

In the end, after careful consideration, I also felt that it was unnecessary. In a few years, all the old things would be destroyed. At that time, people would be sent to collect waste products as firewood. Once they were collected, they could collect a lot of them. Just say that they wanted to light a fire, so why bother to commit crimes by themselves? risk……

"According to such a poor way of living, I don't know if I can live to one hundred and fifty in the future..."

After Li Yuan laughed, he continued to read.

It's just that he was overthinking. Five minutes after Widow Zhao left, there was another knock on the door. This time it was actually Yi Zhonghai and the old couple who came.

Li Yuan said "Yo" and said cheerfully, "Master, are you finally willing to take your pulse? Hey, that's right! Take good care of your body, and next year I will have a son with my aunt, how great! Come on, come on, I'll show you!"

Yi Zhonghai: "..."

Negative emotions from Yi Zhonghai +666!

The first mother forced a smile and said, "Yuanzi, it's not about this... Your uncle loves me because I'm old, and it's dangerous to have a child."

Li Yuan nodded and said: "That's right, this worry is not unreasonable. Older women are in danger at any time."

Yi Zhonghai's complexion improved a bit, and after coughing dryly, he sat down and said, "Yuanzi, the matter of Dongxu's family, should this be over?"

Li Yuan wondered: "This is not going to pass, and it has nothing to do with me, right? If Brother Zhuzi hadn't provoked me today, I wouldn't want to get involved in other people's family affairs. It is said that the fight between the couple is at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed. Hey, what are we getting involved with outsiders?"

Yi Zhonghai took it seriously and said, "Who says it's not? That's the reason! I said that what happened today was all caused by Zhu Zi, no wonder people call him silly Zhu, he meddles in everything. I have already criticized him just now, and speaking of it, you young people are all in the same courtyard, and you should get along well."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Yes, the conditions are more difficult in the past two or three years, otherwise our brothers would have been drunk and worried. Can a group of young people still hold grudges?"

Yi Zhonghai looked at Li Yuan with a complicated expression. If this is his child... Take a step back, if this child is willing to listen to him and give him a pension, that would be great.

But he knew better in his heart that there was no need to think about such a thing.

Clearing his throat again, Yi Zhonghai said: "Come here today, let's talk about Jia's affairs, Dongxu has already agreed, don't do anything in the future, live a good life..."

Li Yuan snorted and said: "Grandpa, don't talk about it. I'm really not interested in his family's affairs. I'm so hungry that I don't even have the strength to swallow my saliva. If it wasn't for Dongxu scolding Brother Zhuzi today." It's too harsh, I don't want to talk too much."

Seeing his attitude of letting go of everything, Yi Zhonghai took a deep breath, and said again: "Well, let's not talk about his family. The second thing is that your mother wants you to come home for dinner every morning. Breakfast, although it is porridge and not many rice grains, but it is better than cold water, right? Your aunt is soft-hearted. She has wiped away her tears several times when she sees you pouring cold water in the courtyard. You don’t want to call you several times. Come on, the two of us are here to call you."

The first mother said bitterly: "The old lady in the backyard also meant the same thing. How can someone pour three ladles of cold water into their stomachs every day? We are old and eat less. You and your uncle should eat more."

She knew that her wife agreed because she wanted to control Li Yuan in the future.

Cannibalism has a short mouth, and it is the unbreakable truth through the ages.

If Li Yuan went to her house to eat breakfast for a while, and then dared to confront the uncle in the future, then others would poke him in the back.

But even so, Da Ma wanted Li Yuan to come to her house for a hot meal.

Standing there pouring cold water every morning, she really couldn't stand it...

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Why don't you say that the aunt is my own aunt, who still thinks of me in this year. But aunt, I am really not being polite to you. Although I don't eat this morning, when I arrive at school, my classmates eat at noon. But treat me to a full meal. Think about it, most of the classmates who go to college have some background. In addition, the girls eat less, and each of them eats one less bite, which feeds me full."

The first mother looked even more worried when she heard it, but after hearing it, she was happy, and said: "Oh, I forgot about this. Just because of Yuanko's handsome appearance, wouldn't it be rare for other girls? It turns out that this is the case, then I am relieved, then I am relieved."

Yi Zhonghai felt a little depressed, why did this kid have such a good life, and there were women to support him everywhere.

The couple of them came to invite him to dinner, but he didn't go...

What a pity!
The couple sat for a while and then left. Li Yuan simply pasted a piece of paper "I'm studying, don't disturb" at the door, and the world finally became quiet...

……

"call……"

In the laboratory of Beijing Second Medical College, Li Yuan exhaled slowly, his eyes were a little straight.

He has never looked forward to the lottery draw like this moment, and for nothing else, he hopes to get a pipette.

Although the hope is a bit slim, I don't seem to have ever owned my own pipette in my memory, and I was messing around when I was doing experiments in college.

But if he remembered correctly, he lost the school money for breaking a pipette.

Should this be considered owned?

The most direct manifestation of the progress of human science and technology is probably the progress of tools.

In the era without pipettes, the complexity of doing experiments was more than ten times higher.

Every time you take a sample and pipette, you must carefully determine such a small volume. The accuracy is difficult to guarantee, and it will take a lot of time.

What can be done with a pipette in 5 minutes will take two or three hours to grind. This is because he has the accuracy and stability in his hands.

Li Yuan is worried that he will wear reading glasses sooner or later...

There is also a bottle washing machine, which can be cleaned with one button. The bottle machine can be mainly washed by heating and detergent, and then rinsed with pure water, which is simple, efficient, time-saving and labor-saving.

Now...not to mention all manual work, it is also very easy to cause large errors due to pollution.

As for the centrifuge and the like, let alone think about it.

Now the centrifuges in colleges and universities across the country are probably sent to the Malan base...

To live a normal life, if you can make a living, you will make a living.

But when doing things related to science and technology, the strong sense of backwardness makes Li Yuan feel depressed.

He really wants to learn pharmacy well, not just be a hooker and draw out the instructions of medicines by lottery to shine, that would be boring.

But the current conditions are limited, it is too difficult to make progress...

"Student Li Yuan, why don't you look very happy? I just saw your experiment, and your chromatography technology is already very good."

The biochemistry laboratory teacher is a middle-aged male teacher, looking at Li Yuan and smiling.

Naturally, Li Yuan couldn't tell because the equipment was too outdated. He smiled and said, "Mr. Qu, I heard that Huaqing has an atomic absorption spectrometer? It would be great if our college also had one."

The teacher shook his head helplessly and said: "It's a beautiful idea! If there is no domestic production, it will be our turn. Even if it is domestic production, it will be our turn. It's a pity, we fell out with Lao Maozi, otherwise I will recommend you to go They study there. The conditions of the university over there, we can hardly catch up with them in another 50 years, alas.”

50 years, heh...

30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi are most appropriate for today.

After 30 years, Lao Maozi is finished.

Of course, at that time it was still more developed than China.

Looking at it this way, 50 years is still quite accurate...

After Li Yuan smiled and said goodbye to the teacher, he was stopped by the monitor as soon as he left the laboratory before taking off his white coat.

The squad leader is a girl named Qiu Rui, her family is from Sijiu City, and she lives in the Artillery Compound.

"Is there something wrong with the monitor?"

Li Yuan asked politely.

Qiu Rui smiled and said, "Student Li Yuan, do you have something to do on Sunday?"

Li Yuan thought for a while and nodded, "It's okay. My son lost the fight with the kid last time. They will have another appointment this Sunday."

"Pfft!"

Qiu Rui couldn't help laughing, she couldn't hold back, she punched Li Yuan on the arm, and said, "Stop coming!"

Li Yuan smiled and said nothing, Qiu Ruibai glanced at him, and said: "We are going to show the color cartoon movie "Havoc in Heaven" in the auditorium of our compound this Sunday. If you have time, you can bring your wife and son with you." , I'll take you in."

Li Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard the words, "Yo" said: "Color movies? Is there a movie theater outside?"

"Havoc in the Sky", this is a classic among classics!

It's actually a movie from [-]...

Qiu Rui shook her head and said, "Not yet, I guess it will take a while."

Li Yuan sighed, and said: "Forget it. Squad leader, thank you for your kindness, but I won't go. The people in the compound are different from the people outside. You know, they are not happy either. Too much contact with people outside."

It's not that they are born bad, but they were born with good conditions, and outsiders can't eat them, so they still stutter.

It is understandable that the stability of the army must be ensured at such times.

Naturally, when looking at the people outside, one would have a condescending gaze.

This is due to human nature, Li Yuan doesn't blame it, but he can't understand it, as long as everyone is safe.

Qiu Rui smiled and said: "You can trust me, I will take you in personally, no one will do that."

Li Yuan looked sideways when he heard the words, the boss of the artillery seems to be surnamed Qiu now?
But he still cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, but there's no need for it. The fight on Sunday was about my son's dignity as a man. I can't break the appointment. Squad leader, take your leave."

Amidst Qiu Rui's helpless laughter, Li Yuan walked away.

Looking at his back, Qiu Rui showed appreciation in her eyes, and then sighed with regret...

……

In Beixincang No. [-] courtyard, Lou Zhentao and Tan Yuemei also came today.

Seeing the two old people loving Li Xing so much, Li Yuan smiled.

The eldest and second child of the Lou family have children, but they are not in front of them. Lou Xiu has not yet given birth, and the only grandson of the Lou family, Li Xing, is in Beijing.

In such a year, Lou Zhentao managed to find four large boxes of imported milk powder for Li Xing.

After sitting down and talking for a while, Li Yuan went to cook.

It's a simple home-cooked meal, but Lou Zhentao and Tan Yuemei are full of praise.

After the meal, Tan Yuemei looked at Li Yuan and exclaimed, "Yuanzi, you actually learned Tan's cuisine, and still cook it so well, it's amazing."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "It's nothing, Ezi likes to eat, Tangyuan likes to eat, and Third Sister also likes to eat, so I just learned a few more dishes."

Tan Yuemei looked at her favorite daughter, and after looking at her for a while, she was very satisfied: "It's a lot plumper."

Lou Xiu was ashamed, and said: "Mom, what are you talking about? Where are you getting fat..."

Tan Yuemei smiled and said, "I mean, it's a good thing. I didn't say you became fat."

Li Xing actually understood this sentence, and he kept yelling "Fat Smash" and "Fat Smash".

The family burst out laughing.

Compared to the misery in the world outside, the laughter in this small courtyard is really rare.

Seeing that Lou Zhentao seemed to have something to say, Li Yuan invited him to sit in the study.

Sure enough, as soon as he sat down, Lou Zhentao cut to the chase and said, "Yuanzi, do you still have Shenglong Wan? I have a friend, I need it urgently!"

Li Yuan: "..."
