Wearing the shopping mall through the 70s

Chapter 12 Lin Chen
"Sun Taohua, what's wrong with my grades? It was because I didn't study seriously before. Now that I start studying seriously, I will definitely pass at least high school. And are you familiar with Lin Chen?" Shen Ruoqing was speechless. How big a face is Sun Taohua? , still venting his anger, is it necessary for him?

"Okay, our relationship is not that familiar. I have something to do today and don't want to talk to you. You should leave quickly." Sun Taohua was not in a hurry. There were two fat rabbits in her vegetable basket, and she was afraid that Sun Taohua would find out.

"Ruoqing, Ruoqing!"

Ignoring Sun Taohua's shouting, Shen Ruoqing walked home quickly, joking that no one should affect her eating meat now.

"Shen Ruoqing!"

Sun Taohua, who was left jumping on the spot, was a little flustered, as if the things she had always controlled were getting further and further away from her.What happened to Shen Ruoqing? Why is he different from before?Without Shen Ruoqing's selfless dedication, what could she use to gain favor in front of Brother Chen?
After returning home, Shen Ruoqing took out the two rabbits, and Shen Xue, Shen Yun and Chen Yue rushed to watch.

"Sister-in-law, you caught this again, you are so awesome!"

"This little bunny is so cute."

"Sister-in-law, can I raise it?"

Shen Yue said, who can refuse this furry little animal?

"Da Ya, you can't even feed yourself, but you still want to raise rabbits? I think you have nothing to do!" Mrs. Ji scolded and picked up two rabbits.

Shen Yue's eyes suddenly turned red and she looked at Shen Ruoqing.

Shen Ruoqing didn't expect that his niece wanted to raise a rabbit, "Da Ya, if you want to raise a rabbit, you can catch one yourself. I only caught it to improve the food for our family. Everyone has a share. You can't Just because you like it, don’t let everyone eat meat.”

"Sister-in-law! I didn't expect you to be such a cold-blooded person!" Shen Yue stamped her feet and ran into the house crying.

"Sister Da Ya..." Shen Yun and Shen Xue didn't know what to say. Although they also think the little rabbit is cute, in this era, the meat that reaches the mouth must be more important. Why is Sister Da Ya so embarrassed at this time? I have become ignorant.

"Ignorant thing!" Mrs. Ji spat, then turned to look at Shen Ruoqing with a smile: "Bring one and stew it all, let the other one dry."

"Mom, why don't you give one of this rabbits to Fourth Brother? Fourth Brother is not having a good time these days."

Mrs. Ji weighed the two fat rabbits with her hands, with a pained expression on her face, and chose the smaller one: "Okay, it will save you the trouble of your fourth sister-in-law always telling us to come to your home to enjoy the autumn breeze. My dear baby is the best." I'm sorry. There's a bus going to the city on the team tomorrow, so I just happened to deliver it." Mrs. Ji was willing to send a rabbit because of the five kilograms of white flour.

Han didn't know how to skin rabbits, but Shen Xiangnan and Shen Xiangxi skinned them.Shen Xiangxi had learned the art of skinning from the hunters in the village a long time ago, so a rabbit skin was still considered complete.

"It would be great if I could get two more rabbit skins. I can also make some clothes for my little sister. This rabbit skin can only be used to make gloves."

The grain I bought last time contained potatoes, which was perfect for making a rabbit stew with potatoes.

During the large-scale steelmaking a few years ago, the brigade took away all the iron pots at home.

The current pot at home is an aluminum pot that Shen Xiangbei got from a hardware factory in the county earlier this year. The pot behind the stove is still a clay pot.

The pot was very big, so Han put a lot of potatoes in it to avoid eating enough. "My dear, if you eat like this every day, won't you be better off than a wealthy landlord?" Shen Xiangnan sighed. In this era, food is in short supply, and meat is even more rare.I didn’t expect that I ate meat yesterday and I’m eating meat again today. What a great day!

Today's staple is acorn noodles.

According to Mrs. Ji, the good days cannot be passed away in one day, otherwise the family will suffer from the northwest wind before the summer harvest.But for Shen Ruoqing, he made cornmeal separately and mixed it with white flour.Because Wang was pregnant, she ate sorghum paste.In today's era, cornmeal was originally a coarse grain, but now it is classified as a fine grain.

Everyone has been watching Shen Ruoqing's behavior of eating alone for a day or two. Except for Wang's few harsh words, there has been no disturbance.

"Mom, haven't you bought so much food? Why are you still eating acorn noodles today?"

"Half of those whole grains have been replaced with acorn noodles. Mom said that if you eat like this, you can last until the summer harvest." Du Shi was also a little sour, but there was nothing she could do. Wang Shi had given birth to two grandsons for the old Shen family, and she is still pregnant with one. , I gave birth to two little girls, so I really don’t have much family status at home.

Shen Ruoqing sighed in her heart. She was not in need. She now had money and food, but she didn't dare to take it out!It made her feel guilty every time she secretly turned on the stove.I can only occasionally bring some pheasants and rabbits out to improve the food.She had to find a way to take things out in an honest way.

However, if you eat acorn noodles to prevent anemia, just eat what your family members eat. Since you can’t eat that food yourself, there’s no reason to say it should be the same as what your family members eat.

"I think this year's summer harvest will be tough." After the meal, Shen Xiangdong sighed.The harvests in the fields have been reduced in the past two years due to severe drought. The main reason is that the river that irrigates the fields seems to be bottoming out. It is difficult to use water. How good can the output of the fields be expected?
"That's why we have to eat our food more carefully. I don't know if the food harvested in the summer can last until the autumn harvest." Mrs. Ji also works, but she is older and usually works the first half of the day. Genius four centimeters.

"No?" Shen Xiangnan was a little disbelieving. He still expected Xia Shou to let his two children continue studying.

Because of the difficulties at this age, many children in every household who are studying no longer go to school to help the family earn work points.The same is true for the Shen family. Except for Shen Ruoqing, who continues to attend junior high school, the other children have temporarily dropped out of school.

"We need to prepare early and get through this year. Maybe the second half of the year will be better?"

Shen Ruoqing knows that this year will not be the last year, and next year will be even more difficult.She couldn't tell anyone at this moment.

"Mom, let me deliver rabbits to Fourth Brother alone tomorrow."

"It's better that I go with you." Mrs. Ji was worried that Shen Ruoqing would go to the county alone.

"An extra person costs more than the fare, and mom, don't you still have to work? One less day of work and one less day of work points. It's not like I've never been to the county, so there's nothing to worry about." Shen Ruoqing was thinking in her mind. , she had to go to the black market again, at least to earn some space money first. It would not be easy if Mrs. Ji was around.

Mrs. Ji thought about it again and again, but was reluctant to part with that centimeter, and finally agreed.

In the afternoon, Shen Ruoqing was digging wild vegetables when a male voice suddenly sounded.

"Ruoqing, I heard someone said that you hit your head some time ago? Are you okay now?"

Shen Ruoqing raised her head, the sun was shining brightly. She squinted her eyes and looked at the person coming. It took a while to see clearly that the person coming was Lin Chen.

"Can't you see the bandage on my head? What nonsense are you asking?"
