Chapter 3 The situation at home
In order to prevent his mother from getting up and busy cooking, Li Feng lied: "Mom, I just ate before getting off the car. There is no need to cook. You sit down. Where is Li Nan?" Li Feng looked around. His sister heard that his brother was coming back. She still hasn't come out to see her brother.Wondering why he hasn't come from the side room yet.

"She has been living in the school since she entered junior high school. She comes back once a month when she is not at home. She just left two days ago. I will tidy up her room tonight. I will live there while you live here."

Li Feng comforted Liu Yin, "It's okay, Mom, I'll go stay in the penthouse, and I'll just clean it up later."

Li Feng remembered that his sister's room was a small wing next to the main house.About fifteen or sixteen square meters.My parents live in the main house, which is about 30 square meters, facing east and west.The noble family in Yanbu lived across from their own house, sitting west facing east.In the future, I can live in the penthouse, while Liu Yin and Li Nan have to live in the main room in the east wing. Otherwise, if my sister and Liu Yin both live in the penthouse, they might not be able to squeeze in.It's quite enough for me to live alone in this penthouse.

Looking at the people who were still watching at the door, Li Feng went out and bowed to those around him with clasped fists: "Everyone, uncles and aunts, it's not too early to come back tonight. Please go back first. I will come back anytime. You can all see it, thank you.”

After hearing this, everyone dispersed, whispered to each other, returned to their own yards, and went home.

When they were almost gone, he looked at Yan Bugui turning his head three times with each step, reluctant to leave.

Li Feng thought to himself that these three uncles seemed to be eyeing the apples in their Internet pockets.He is really good at calculating, and his reputation as plucking the geese's feathers is well-deserved.

He patted his forehead and shouted in a low voice: "Third uncle, please stay." He turned back to the house, took out an apple from his net bag, and rushed out.

"Third uncle, look at my memory. I haven't seen you in the past three years. When I came back, I didn't bring anything delicious. I brought some apples. You can take them back and give them to the children to try!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui quickly turned around and ran over from the courtyard in three steps and then two steps.

"Thank you, Li Feng. We are all neighbors. You are too polite and can't help me much. The children haven't eaten apples for a long time, so I can just satisfy their craving."

"We are all neighbors. Thank you. If I come back late in the future, I will have to ask your third uncle to open the door for me."

"Okay, it's just a small matter. I'll call you anytime."

Before he could finish speaking, two ounces of apples fell into Yan Bugui's hands.After receiving the items, he no longer had the courtesy to do so. Perhaps because he was afraid that the apples he bought for free would be intercepted by his neighbors who had just left, Yan Bugui quickly took the apples and returned to his home across the street.

Li Feng considered that Yan Bugui was at least a scholar with a bottom line. Later, when Ran Qiuye was cleaning the toilet, he was the only one who stood up to help.When he returned to the courtyard for the first time, he couldn't be an enemy of everyone. He had to win over one faction and fight against another. Compared with others, Yan Bugui was still someone he could win over.

Moreover, with an apple and someone who can open the door at any time, it will be much easier to enter and exit the compound in the future.

Nowadays, you need a ticket to buy anything. You need food stamps to eat. You need cloth stamps to buy cloth and make clothes. Bicycles that occasionally appear on the street and go to department stores also need bicycle tickets.This year, the last year of the great disaster, food is in short supply everywhere, and people cherish what they eat.Ordinary families won't buy fruits like this. On the one hand, they need price tickets. On the one hand, the main reason is that fruits are not very hungry.

With the money to buy fresh fruits, most people usually replace them with corn noodles or flour, which is enough for a family to eat for two meals.

Thinking back carefully, at this time, only the third uncle's family should be earning wages by himself, and Yan Jiecheng should marry his wife and become a temporary worker.The third uncle still has to rely on this monthly income of more than 30 yuan. He can support a family of six people with only one grain of food. The children are still half-grown and cannibalize me to death.

It is estimated that it is common for their family not to have enough to eat now, and they have to wait for festivals or New Years to eat meat. This fruit may really be a high-end luxury product for their family. Their stomachs are not full, and there is no money to buy fruit.

In the TV series, I see him going out fishing after taking a break. Maybe only the fish caught for free can satisfy his craving for meat.

The bicycles that the third uncle bought seemed to be second-hand cars that were returned by school leaders, but it is not easy to get money for second-hand cars.

Li Feng returned to the house and put the apples he brought back into the rice vat in the kitchen.

It is said to be a kitchen. In fact, it means that a stove is placed under the window on the right side of the entrance, and a table is placed next to it to serve as a kitchen.

There is oil and salt on the table, and there are rice vats, noodle vats, and pickle jars under the table.When I was putting the fruit in, I looked over and saw that there were still a few eggs and a pound of white flour in the rice vat.

Liu Yin should be the one who brought Li Nan home to replenish his health. Maternal love is still pure, and his mother might not be willing to eat it herself.The noodle tank also opened the cover and took a look. There was a bag of stick noodles weighing about ten kilograms.

Just as I had guessed, towards the end of the month, there should be very little food left at home, and some of the remaining food was probably saved by Liu Yin and Li Nan's frugality.After I go to the factory to take over my job, the situation at home should improve a lot.

If he takes over his father's job and continues to drive a big truck, the truck driver's monthly income is still rich compared to ordinary people in this era.

"Son, drink some water. Your father is unlucky. I heard from the leader that the car was going too fast and he couldn't stop the car. Even the car and the passengers fell into the ditch. At that time, everyone was gone. From now on, the family will be in trouble. It all depends on you.”.
Li Yin took a glass of water and said to Li Feng while wiping her tears.

Li Feng wiped Liu Yin's tears with his sleeve: "Mom, dad is gone. No one could have imagined that such an accident would happen. Leave the rest of the family to me. Don't be sad. Your health is important. This is what I have in the army." The allowance and reward total two hundred yuan, please keep it."
