(Additional update for book 20210301106460054746 monthly ticket, thank you for your support)
Xia Yuhong felt a little dizzy. It was too unreal. Zhu Xuefeng's family situation had improved a lot. I had heard him say that the money was sent back to her, but there was no need to pay for the leather shoes.

In surprise, Zhu Xuefeng had already handed over a pair of beautiful leather shoes. Even without looking at the shoe size, Zhu Xuefeng knew it was size 37.

Xia Yuhong stupidly took the leather shoes and her face was already red. The bad guy didn't say anything and just dragged her over. Before she expressed her position, she had already bought the shoes and paid for them.

Xia Yuhong ran out of the department store with her shoes on fire, her face still burning. It was very embarrassing to give herself a pair of leather shoes in front of so many people. Don't let anyone you know see it.

Starting this year, you have to get a ticket to buy leather shoes in Beijing. Zhu Xuefeng received a few tickets, but you can't buy them at all. One person is given one per year. Only formal employees are given one, not even family members. Tickets are required to wear rubber shoes and sneakers, but there are no leather shoes. The number of tickets is so small, after all, everyone else is given out tickets for other shoes.

"Wait for me, you are running really fast. If you write a ticket, you will be gone in the blink of an eye. Take this. If there is any problem, you can come and exchange it."

Zhu Xuefeng chased him out of the department store. He just went to issue an invoice. As a voucher, he could exchange it if there was any problem. He still had a good sense of quality.

Now, without the endless questioning and nagging, Zhu Xuefeng was beautiful. Xia Yuhong began to worry about how to explain it when she got home. These shoes were like a bomb, but she couldn't bear to part with them. They were given by this dead person, so she had to think of a reason quickly.

He knew that Zhu Xuefeng had made some money now and was not short of money, but how could he explain it to his parents? It was very annoying last time, and his father kept asking in roundabout ways...

The two pushed the car back. Xia Yuhong was a lot quieter along the way, just holding her shoes and following behind her, listening to Zhu Xuefeng chatter about her design ideas...

Looking at Zhu Xuefeng blankly, he knew a lot. Did he always go to the library to learn?Don't fall behind, you have to run together.

Passing by the supply and marketing cooperative, Zhu Xuefeng bought a lot of candies, peeled off a big white rabbit, and tried to put it in Xia Yuhong's mouth. He was glared at hard, and then he took it and ate it.

Also, in broad daylight, with people coming and going, this action was a bit frivolous. Zhu Xuefeng was still not used to it, so he had to pay attention.

They didn't say anything anymore and came to the alley in silence. Xia Yuhong was not as brisk as before and went home hesitantly.

When they were approaching the yard, they saw Xu Damao blocking a girl in front of them. The two were talking about something. The girl seemed to want to hide but didn't. Zhu Xuefeng didn't recognize her and couldn't understand their relationship. It was probably Xu Damao flirting with her again. Sao.

He said hello to Uncle Liu who was sitting next to him. Uncle Liu seemed to have a good harvest today. He collected his car and came back so early. After Zhu Xuefeng had dealt with him several times, he became quite familiar with them and now they are all familiar with each other. say hi.

In the past few days, I have only focused on the modification of the engine, and I have not paid much attention to what my brothers and sisters are doing at home. I saw several shelves at the door, filled with sheets and clothes to dry.

It seems that the two little guys have dismantled several kangs. They can't wait to use new ones, but it is summer and they can't sleep under a thick new quilt. Zhu Xuefeng shook his head and smiled bitterly. These two gadgets .

At least Xia Yuhong won't dislike it when she comes again. She has planned it several times, but her younger brother and sister have taken care of it. It seems that she is too lazy to do it.

Love of labor should still be praised.

"Brother is back."

Zhu Xuefeng nodded. They were both sitting in the middle room, holding Zhu Xuesong's junior high school textbooks in their hands. They seemed quite conscious.

"It seems that you two have been very busy today. You even cleaned up the bed. Come and reward two white rabbits each. It is worthy of praise. Keep up the good work!"

"Big brother, big brother, look at our hands. They are all red. The uncles and aunts in the yard wanted to help, but we didn't let them. It was me and my second brother who washed them."

Zhu Xuemei stretched out her little hands and washed so many things. Her little hands were clean, with red in the white, which made her look pretty. "Well, my little sister has worked hard, and my brother has worked hard too. How about we eat noodles tonight? I'll do it."

"Okay, okay!" The two children were very happy. Zhu Xuefeng's noodles were good, but they were rarely made. The main reason was that there were not enough dried noodles. Whether you could buy them or not depends on your luck. Just having a ticket is not enough.

I haven't been doing anything in the past few days. The two little guys are taking care of me. Today is a small reward.

The steamed buns and steamed buns at home were gone. Zhu Xuefeng could not make steamed buns or steamed buns. During this period, the steamed buns were made by his younger brothers and sisters. There was still a lot of rice, cornmeal and sticks.

I cut some meat I bought and soaked some mushrooms in hot water. After a while, the braised noodles with mushroom and minced meat sauce were ready. I blanched some green leaves and an egg for each person. It’s very simple, delicious and nutritious. Not bad, even the pickles are omitted.

In fact, Zhu Xuefeng made several bottles of mushroom sauce. There were too many kinds of mushrooms in the space, so he gave Uncle Zou two bottles. This time it was not spicy at all.

But when making noodles, Zhu Xuefeng still likes to use freshly made noodles. He always feels that fresh ones are better. He can just keep the sauce and use it as pickles, and the braised noodles must be freshly made.

After dinner, he coaxed his younger brothers and sisters out to play as usual. Zhu Xuefeng was collecting the clothes hanging to dry at the door and saw Uncle Zou chopping wood.

"Uncle, are you preparing firewood for winter? It's a bit early."

"It's getting late, so we have to do this kind of work when we have time. It's okay this summer. We can't beat everyone in autumn. In winter, we can't afford to go out to find firewood. Now we can chop it and let it dry for a few months before we can use it."

It has just entered July, and we have to prepare for the winter. The older generation really knows how to live, and they have to take care of everything.

...

In winter, every household has to burn a kang, otherwise it will be difficult to bear it. The wind blows into the house, and only the kang is warm. In winter, you have to go to the kang to eat.

Coal is supplied to the residents, but it is not enough. Besides, earth heating cannot solve the heating problem at all. Heating has to be considered. Zhu Xuefeng has planned it, but he doesn’t know if it will be useful when the time comes. This is the first time he is the head of a household, so he has to worry about it. That's a lot.

After chatting with Uncle Zou for a while, I guess the coal plan at home is not enough. Do we have to find opportunities to go into the mountains to collect firewood?The hills near here are probably bald, so if you want to collect firewood, you have to run farther away.

Besides, it's still early and the matter at hand is not finished yet. The college entrance examination is in ten days. Let's review it again, especially politics. Don't forget it then.

After feeding the chickens water, Zhu Xuefeng returned to the north room to read.

...

"Brother, don't go to school today."

The three brothers and sisters were simply eating breakfast. Nowadays, breakfast is no different from that in every household. It is just a lot of eggs, some porridge, sometimes steamed buns, sometimes steamed buns. The younger brothers and sisters are sensible and don't choose anything, just eat whatever is available.

"Well, I'm not going. If you have anything to do, just say it. Don't be nagging. Brother is not unreasonable. Tell me what you two want to do."

Zhu Xuesong raised his head and glanced at his elder brother, hesitantly.

"Brother, there's a new movie released today. It's about catching bad guys. I want to take my sister to see it. We still have money in hand, so we don't need to give it. We still have tickets."
