A pleasant life in a courtyard

Chapter 488 Going out to find food
At the beginning and end of the war, the common people were caught off guard and completed the counterattack against Vietnam.

It seems like just yesterday everyone was still discussing how long it would take this time.

The results of victory have been placed in front of everyone.

The common people's strength and confidence in the motherland has been deepened a lot during this "diplomatic" activity.

This war, because it did not last long, had little impact on the people's livelihood in the country.

The donation activities that were huge in the past did not show any signs of success this time.

Some enthusiastic people went to the sub-district office to inquire, but were persuaded to come back by the officials there.

After these people were persuaded to come back, they sighed to their neighbors who were waiting for news: "After all, it is different. Our people's soldiers no longer have to fight unprepared battles."

In February, while people were worried about the outcome of the war, many things were still going on in an orderly manner.

Among them, a large number of educated young people have returned to the city, which is a concern for many families across the country.

But no matter how difficult it is, you still have to persevere.

The return of these young people is an upright one, and it can be said that they returned with the support of national policies.

They are different from those "blind people" who are stuck in the city and refuse to leave. They exchanged their youth and sweat for this "return" medal.

Qin Jingru picked up the vegetables in the basket and showed them to Qiu Fanghua while talking.

As soon as he entered the door, Qiu Fanghua, the hostess, complained as if she was pouring beans before she could ask.

Either there was a shortage of housing at home, or there were work disputes, or there was the indifference of family affection that was not welcomed by the family before going to the countryside.

All these factors made life difficult for these young people who had no place to live at first.

Faced with the return of so many people, supplies that had been increasingly stable in major cities have become in short supply again.

The dishes inside are actually clear at a glance, a small handful of green vegetables, a small handful of beans, and a piece of old tofu.

A conscientious person thinks about remarrying her partner once she has established a firm footing, and then taking over her partner and children.

These dishes are okay if you eat them at home.

They still have many "burdens" left behind in the countryside.

In Shanghai alone, as many as 100,000 people have returned.

Unfortunately, the return of heroes is not always welcomed.

Because many of them did not return alone.

At first, the people didn't take it seriously, but gradually something started to go wrong.

The situation of not being able to buy anything seems to be back to what it was more than ten years ago.

The heartless person doesn't want to be involved with the countryside anymore, and is eager to earn a settlement fee, so he wants to completely cut off from the other party.

"Look, sister, after receiving your instructions last night, I went to the market to queue up before dawn today. I spent three hours and only bought this few things."

There are various reasons for being unwelcome, but generally speaking, most people cannot escape those categories.

Qin Jingru carried a vegetable basket with not much in it and returned home angrily.

But today Li Xiangjia wants to treat guests. Not only Li's mother, younger brother Li, and uncle Li's family will come over, but also his brother-in-law and his best friend's family.

With so many people coming, it would take a whole table of food to deal with them.

Qiu Fanghua looked at the green vegetables in Qin Jingru's hand and frowned.

"The vegetable market here has also been affected." "Who says it isn't? The tickets are all stamped, so why should you come to our place to buy them?" Qin Jingru muttered angrily.

Li Xiang heard the noise here and walked out of the house.

"What's wrong? I can hear Sister Qin complaining in the house." As he approached, he also noticed something strange about today's vegetable basket.

Qiu Fanghua sighed and replied: "On weekdays, I only buy food for the whole family. I didn't know that supplies outside were so tight. During the festival, cross-regional rush buying was actually opened."

Now it's better, I didn't even buy any meat.

After listening to his wife's explanation, Li Xiang said, "I would have asked Xiao Huang to say hello in advance and ask the logistics department to deliver it. Now that we are on holiday, it is not good to have to work for others. How about this, I will go outside Let’s go around and see if we can buy some cooked food.”

"I can't even buy a few things. The food market is tight, so aren't the restaurants nervous?" Qiu Fanghua said worriedly.

"You have to go and have a look, otherwise you let the elder sister and the younger brother eat this." Li Xiang smacked at the green vegetables and tofu.

Qiu Fanghua felt the same way. Although there was leftover chicken in the refrigerator at home, it was still not enough to entertain guests.

"Then you go early and come back early. They will probably arrive soon. Don't make the whole family wait for you."

"Don't worry, I promise to go back soon." Li Xiang turned around and went to the house to get the car keys.

In BJ City during the festival, there are people everywhere outside.

Bicycles that were rare in the past are now everywhere on the streets.

Traffic rules are not strictly enforced at this time.

Everyone’s knowledge in this area is still quite weak.

Li Xiang's car was driving in a torrent of bicycles. If he wanted to speed up, he could only honk the horn to alert the cyclists around him.

At such a speed, he knew that he might have made a mistake when he promised his wife to go quickly.

Li wanted to walk around BJ City, picked up a few restaurants where the queues were not that long, and bought three or four kinds of cooked food.

When I got back to the car, I glanced at the packaged cooked food and felt a little helpless.

The largest portion among these items was half a roast duck, which Li wanted to get through his connections.

It's not that the store owner is stingy, it's that the store's quota is not large and it was booked out early.

The reason for the short queue is that the store is not open for takeout today at all, and all the people waiting are waiting to pick up the ordered goods.

For someone like Li Xiang who jumped in the queue to place an order at short notice, if the store could spare half of the order for him, it would be an act of benevolence.

Well, it seems that we can only use extraordinary tricks at extraordinary times.

Li Xiang's mind moved, and seven or eight kinds of fresh food immediately appeared in the back seat of the car.

Over the years, his check-in system has also evolved with the times and has the function of moving at will. Finally, it is no longer necessary to consciously sneak into the space to pull things out with your hands like before.

"Pork belly, beef, prawns, peach, yam, lotus root slices..." Li Xiang counted the favorite foods of his relatives and friends one by one.

After counting, he started the engine with satisfaction and drove home.

At this time, preparations at home were already in full swing.

Those who choose the vegetables, those who wash the vegetables, those who chop the vegetables, and those who stir-fry the vegetables.

Except for the children who can play happily, everyone else is being bossed around by Mother Li.

He still suffered from the inconvenience of contact. Li Xiang still didn't know how many things these people brought when they came to visit.
