Go back to the prosperous days and become a layman

Chapter 355 Chapter 354 is approaching
"Buy some uncommon ones. After you taste them, pick out a few of your favorites. I'll see if there's any chance that someone can bring them back from other places." This is Tang Zhitong's main purpose. Asking someone to bring them back is just an excuse. If you have space, go out. You can change more during one trip and stock up to eat slowly.

"Oh, why is it worth it? If you have money, let's buy some grain and some meat. Many people in our unit have been asking around recently to buy." After hearing what her husband said, Xiao Wang naturally felt very sweet. , but does not agree with this approach.

"I'm with you in terms of food, so you don't have to worry about it. I'll go to my uncle's house in a while, and I'll have to eat on both sides." Tang Zhitong took care of everything. As for now, it's already a little late to buy goods from the market, and Tang Zhitong didn't want to It’s a waste of money and you don’t want to get involved, so let’s leave some opportunities for others.

"Yes." Xiao Wang smiled sweetly. He was very satisfied with his current life and full of happiness. Others were trying their best to buy food and meat, but he didn't have to worry about anything.

Happiness actually comes from comparison. Teacher Fan Wei said it well: Happiness is when I am hungry and see someone else holding a meat bun in their hand, then they are happier than me. When I am cold, I see someone else wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket. , then he is happier than me.

"Oh, by the way, pack two packs of dates for me. I'll deliver them to Third Brother tomorrow." Even though Mark Jian said he didn't want anything, Tang Zhitong couldn't really deny it.

"Didn't you bring anything with you when you went?" Xiao Wang asked, but his hands were not idle. He quickly stood up and wrapped dates according to Tang Zhitong's instructions.

"I brought it with me. The third brother didn't want it, so he gave it to the senior brother in the snack factory. These snacks are given at the loss price, so we have to support him." Tang Zhitong pulled the letter and briefly wrote down the situation on the paper, in case he There was no one at home when Mark Jian went there, so he stuffed it on the wrapping paper so that Mark Jian would know who left it.

"Well, it's quite difficult to buy some food now." Xiao Wang sighed and said.

"No one in your unit asked you to buy anything, right?" Tang Zhitong asked after finishing writing.

The carrot fields should be ignored for the time being. The yellow sand on the college road has been cleared away. The path leading to the halal canteen has not yet been paved, but it is only the last step left and does not require the participation of students.

When Tang Zhitong came to school, everything was as usual. He tidied up and went into the classroom to listen to the class.

Early the next morning, after Tang Zhitong dropped off his sister and classmate Xiao Wang, he did not turn to Xinjiekou Street, but went west through Fuchengmen and went directly to Mark Jian's house.

"How can I have that ability?" Xiao Wang did not deny it and placed the two packages of dates on the table.

"Here, it's from Guzi." Wang Yan watched Tang Zhitong go away, turned around and met Mark Jian who heard the noise, and handed the package of things to her husband.

This kiss is just a one-night stand...

The original dirt road was dug up, and then stones were laid inside. There were three layers in total. The first layer was made of large stones, the upper layer was made of small stones, and the top layer was made of small stones. Professionals will pour it today. into asphalt road.

The other one is to make some superficial money, travel thousands of miles to "purchase" and "ship back" to the capital, earn some price difference, and subsidize classmate Xiao Wang with some private money. It's very reasonable, right?
"Okay, let's wait until you come back." Xiao Wang held both sides of Tang Zhitong's head with both hands, put two pink lips on his forehead, and carved a mark, like Erlang Shen's third eye, but it was only horizontal of.

"Euclidean, what are you doing? Your third brother is at home, come in." Wang Yan was caught off guard by Tang Zhitong's behavior and let Tang Zhitong in with a few paper bags in his arms.

Tang Zhitong witnessed the paving process of this path when he was cleaning the road.

"No, Sister-in-law, I have to go to school quickly. I'm going to be late. See you later." Tang Zhitong wouldn't go in and do any extreme things. He put down his things, waved his hand, and immediately got on his bicycle and ran away.

"Sister-in-law, it's just right. Put this down and go to work." Tang Zhitong couldn't help but take out the contents of his bag and stuff them into Wang Yan. Since he saw the person, he naturally didn't stuff the written instructions into the wrapping paper.

After lunch, the other five Weibo students in dormitory 219 handed over kilograms of local food stamps to Tang Zhitong as if they had made an appointment.

At the door of Mark Jian's house, he met Wang Yan who was pushing Wu Haiyang's bicycle out to get ready for work.

"I may not be able to buy food when I go to my uncle's place this time, but there should be no shortage of mountain products. It happens to be the harvest season, so I plan to buy more. If you have good friends over there, you can share some with me then." Tang Zhitong thought. After a moment, he said.

The reason why Tang Zhitong wanted to do this was to let Wang Jingwen consolidate some necessary relationships in the unit. She could understand this without Tang Zhitong saying it explicitly.

While on the road, I used the space to pack two more bags of pine nuts and put them in my backpack.

This road is made of solid materials, comparable to the road surface at the construction site where Tang Zhitong worked as a temporary worker last year. It is really a road built for a century.

"Hey, put this eucalyptus away." Mark Jian was a little helpless. He had clearly explained it to Tang Zhitong and wanted to thank him for his help. It was fine yesterday. Why did he send something again so early this morning?
"You take it, I have to go to work quickly, I'm going to be late." Wang Yan didn't have time to ask why, he pushed the bicycle again and went out.

Twenty pounds is not much, but if replaced with white potatoes, it can support a family through a period of difficulty.

Tang Zhitong held it in his hand, but his heart felt heavy.

Some people may ask, if one pound of food stamps is exchanged for five pounds of sweet potatoes, the total exchange is only one hundred pounds. Even if there are only three people in a family, if each person eats one pound per day, it will only last for a month at most.

There's nothing wrong with this algorithm, but it's very cute.

In fact, in starving rural areas, no one will eat staple food. In order to survive for a while, they will eat it mixed with food.

Take the current season as an example. Gather a basket of sweet potato leaves or even sweet potato vines, wash and chop them, cut the sweet potatoes into pieces, and cook them together in a pot. After cooking, one bowl per person is a meal. Rice, one of two meals a day, not three meals a day...

White potatoes are used to provide the basic energy necessary to maintain the human body, while sweet potato leaves and sweet potato vines are used to increase satiety...

It's almost the same in other seasons. Hungry people eat whatever is in the fields, and they don't dare to dislike it at all. What they are most afraid of is the lack of harvest and winter, when they really have nothing to eat, so they chew tree barks and eat Guanyin soil... …

Tang Zhitong didn't dare to delay and went straight to the Escort Department after class in the afternoon.

When he came back this time, Tang Zhitong first went to the canteen with his food stamps to find Master Gao Lidegao.

"Hey, Chief Tang, how is college life?" Gao Lide asked enthusiastically as soon as he saw Tang Zhitong. "Excuse me for your concern, it's very good, but the food in the cafeteria is not as delicious as Master Gao's." Tang Zhitong greeted kindly and cleared away the smoke.

"Hahaha, you praise me, I can't compare to the masters in the university." Gao Lide was very happy after hearing this. Although he was polite, the corners of his mouth were already grinning to his ears.

"Go to me when you have a chance. I'll take you to try it. There's absolutely no lies." Tang Zhitong lit a match and lit a cigarette. He was telling the truth, but it was not all due to the cooking level. It also had something to do with the ingredients used, especially the soy sauce.

Gao Lide was worried about the canteen of the Escort Department. He always tried his best to make something and try to maintain the standard of the food. However, the chefs at the College of Posts and Telecommunications were much more wild. , I feel as tired as my grandson every day, how can I have time to think about that?

"Okay, okay, I will definitely go when I have the chance. Chief Tang, will you take the time to deal with the bills for the past few days?" Gao Lide grinned and agreed. As an adult, even if you definitely don't go, you have to say this.

"No problem! This matter will be handled immediately." This was his job, and Tang Zhitong immediately took Gao Lide to the office.

There were not many bills, and they were all processed in a while. It must be said that Fangyuan took great care of Tang Zhitong. Although the work arranged was a careful and responsible job, it was not onerous.

"Master Gao, I have something, and I would like to ask you to see if it can be done." Tang Zhitong said after putting away the bill, counting the corresponding money and handing it to Gao Lide.

"You tell me whether it's troublesome or not." Gao Lide was also very polite and planned to listen first.

"I have a classmate in college whose family is very difficult... Is it easy to exchange these sweet potatoes?" Tang Zhitong told Gao Lide about Gu Mancang's matter. It doesn't matter if he can't handle it. He still has some sweet potatoes he stocked up last year. , it’s nothing more than using food stamps to buy some finished staple food and put it away.

"It's easy to replace, I promise to do it properly! The grain department is now coordinating the launch of sweet potatoes. I estimate that they can be replaced next week. When does Chief Tang plan to get it?" Everyone has a heart of compassion. Gao Lide heard the news Regarding Man Cang's situation, he patted his chest and promised without saying a word.

"Thank you so much, Master Gao. The escort colleagues from that line will come back tomorrow. I'll say hello to them first and see if the time is suitable. I'll let you know tomorrow, okay?" Although there are not many sweet potatoes, there are not many people involved. few.

Although Tang Zhitong not only received no benefit at all, but also had to deal with a lot of favors, Tang Zhitong didn't feel like he was at a disadvantage at all. Instead, he felt very happy.

"Okay, then I'll wait for your news tomorrow." Master Gao nodded in agreement.

After seeing Master Gao off, Tang Zhitong went to Fangyuan's office again.

"Hey, the college student is back?" Although they haven't seen him for only a week, Fangyuan was very happy to see Tang Zhitong.

"Hey, I have something to do. Come back and have a look." Even though he helped Gu Mancang run around and coordinate all aspects, there was still one key link that required Fangyuan's nod, and that was transportation.

In the past, Tang Zhitong used to use cars, either to contact business for the company, or for business-to-business business. Although he himself had used cars for personal matters, as an escort, he could barely make it. However, this time he helped Gu Mancang coordinate Baishu. , but it has nothing to do with the Escort Department.

Although the matter was not serious, Tang Zhitong had to report it to Fangyuan due to emotions and reasons.

"What do I think it is? Tomorrow Xie Qu and Yu Fuyin will be escorted back. Just tell them directly." Fangyuan was also from a rural area. Now more and more outside situations have been reported to Beijing. He has also heard that After hearing about Gu Mancang's situation, he agreed directly without saying a word.

"Okay, thank you Brother Yuan. Counting the days, will my sister-in-law give birth soon? Are you feeling well?" Seeing Fangyuan's agreement, Tang Zhitong felt relieved and chatted with him about home affairs.

"Oh, it's almost time. Your sister-in-law keeps saying she's flustered recently. She took her to the hospital for a checkup, but she didn't find any problems, so she asked her to observe at home. I guess this time it's a debt collector." Speaking of this, Fangyuan smiled. Added a bit of worry.

"Which hospital did you go to?" Tang Zhitong handed Fang Yuan a cigarette at the right time and lit it.

"Municipal Property Institute." Fangyuan took a sip and said.

"Why aren't you hospitalized?" Tang Zhitong asked.

"There are no beds." Fangyuan exhaled a puff of smoke, feeling helpless.

"What a coincidence, I have a friend in the maternity hospital. Why don't I go ask tomorrow to see if we can add a temporary bed in the corridor. Brother Yuan doesn't mind it, right?" Tang Zhitong immediately thought of Wu Haiyang's lover Lu Lixian. That's not to say, although the medical conditions in Kyoto have made great progress in the past ten years, there are still many "skills". Lu Lixian is a newcomer, and her ability may not be that great.

"It would be nice to have a place to stay. Why do you dislike it? But, will it be too troublesome?" Fangyuan was actually considering whether to find connections to ask, but the doctors said it was okay. If he spoke again, he would be a bit aggressive. In addition, my daughter-in-law also stopped me from alerting the boss, so I kept putting it off and didn't go.

"No trouble, I'm a good friend. I'll give you a letter tomorrow." Tang Zhitong waved his hands repeatedly. Wu Haiyang helped him a lot. He also urged Xiao Wang to send eggs to Dr. Lu several times. The relationship was very harmonious. This relationship, when it reaches a certain level, the more you use it, the better. If you don't use it, you will become alienated.

"Okay, I'll trouble you. I myself have thought about asking the old leader, but I'm afraid there will be too much noise." Fang Yuan clearly stated his background in front of Tang Zhitong for the first time.

"Brother Yuan is right. What's your sister-in-law's name?" Tang Zhitong has been here for more than a year and is in excellent health. He has never been to a hospital and doesn't know what the process is now. Anyway, in a few decades, everything will need patients. Asking your name in advance is a good way to be prepared.

"My name is...Jin Erni." Fang Yuan hesitated for a moment and then said it.

"Okay, the name is quite down-to-earth." Naturally, Tang Zhitong would not laugh at the rustic name. Although the household registration system has been implemented, the implementation is weak... I would have married Fangyuan and moved to the city, otherwise it would have been just registration in the countryside.

Tang Zhitong chatted with Fangyuan for a while, and then got up to leave when it was time to get off work.

After get off work, Tang Zhitong took his lunch box to the canteen and ordered two dishes. Since there were not many people in the Escort Department, they had not implemented a food stamp system. They just gave him the corresponding amount in cash.

When Tang Zhitong was picking up the dishes, many colleagues came to pick up the dishes even though they didn't work overtime. How should I put it? It all goes without saying.

The shortage, which was felt in other places as early as late autumn last year, finally hit Sijiu City in September this year...
