My courtyard shelter

Because Dabao was clamoring for fish, Lao Fang took the mother and daughter back to his home, and took this opportunity to get to know the place. Read М

"Dabao, come in, this is grandpa's house."

"Wow, grandpa's house is so big, and there is a TV." Dabao couldn't take his eyes off the TV.

Lao Fang smiled and shook his head, helped turn on the TV, and then chose the children's channel, which was playing the cartoon "Young Master".

"Watch TV, grandpa is going to cook."

After saying that, Lao Fang carried the fish into the kitchen, and Dabao's mother picked up the mop and started to help Lao Fang clean up.

After all, no one had lived in the house for more than a week, and there was dust everywhere.

Lao Fang tied an apron, cut off a fist-sized piece of fish with a knife, and put the rest back in the refrigerator.

There was no oil at home, so it was best to stew it. After thinking about it, he put some white radish and potatoes in.

The next step was to cook rice. There were still hundreds of kilograms of rice at home. No matter what, at least there was enough rice.

More than half an hour later, lunch was ready.

Lao Fang picked up a piece of fish for Dabao, blew on it to heat it up, and then stuffed it into Dabao's mouth:

"Try grandpa's cooking, is it delicious?"

As the smell of the stewed fish was heard, the little guy had been squatting at the kitchen door for a long time, not even bothering to watch cartoons.

"Delicious!" Dabao couldn't wait.

"Hurry up and serve the rice. When grandpa has finished serving the stewed fish, we'll start eating."

"Hmm..."

Lao Fang put a large bowl of stewed fish on the dining table. Seeing that Dabao's mother was still washing clothes, he hurriedly called out:

"Xiao Xiao, wash it later, it's time to eat."

"It'll be ready soon."

Dabao had already served the rice, including the portions for his mother and grandfather.

"Grandpa, this is your rice."

"Dabao is really sensible." Lao Fang praised.

Dabao's mother wiped her hands and came over. Looking at the three full bowls of rice on the dining table, she couldn't help but look worried.

"Uncle Fang, just eat the rice with mixed grains. This is too wasteful. What if the food is all gone?"

Before going out, Dabao's mother planned to bring a pound of potatoes. After all, the food is tight at the moment. It is said that the black market price has risen several times this month.

But in the end, she was dissuaded by Lao Fang.

"You two can eat it without worry. I stockpiled some rice last year and haven't finished it yet!" Lao Fang explained with a smile.

"You can't eat it like this!" Dabao's mother said distressedly.

Dabao is a child who doesn't know much and happily took a bite of white rice.

"Mom, the rice is sweet."

Usually at home, the little guy usually drinks porridge in the morning and evening, and also eats mixed grain rice at noon.

Lao Fang picked up a large piece of fish fillet for Dabao: "Eat it while it's hot."

The little guy nodded seriously.

Watching her daughter eating happily, Dabao's mother sighed helplessly, then picked up the rice bowl and tasted a mouthful of rice carefully.

This is the first time she has eaten rice since the Chinese New Year.

"Xiao Xiao, don't eat naked, pick up some food to eat." Lao Fang called out. The other party was a young mother, and he couldn't help pick up the food to avoid misunderstanding.

"I'll do it myself."

During the meal, Lao Fang and Dabao's mother didn't eat a single bite of fish. They ate some white radish and potatoes with fish soup, which was also delicious.

As for the fish, there was not much, and it all went into Dabao's mouth. The little guy finally mixed rice with fish soup and ate two whole bowls.

These days, there is no oil and water, and the appetite of children should not be underestimated.

...

After returning to the company, Xu Dong first reported Lao Fang's situation to Section Chief Li, and then went off work.

I had worked overtime for two consecutive weekends before, and today I finally got an afternoon off.

I can only say that it's better to have it than not!

After leaving the company, Xu Dong went straight back to the courtyard.

I just called, and my mother told him to go to the grain store and buy all the food for this month.

As for why he was so anxious?

It was all because of the gossip. I don't know where Xu's mother heard the conspiracy theory from. She firmly believed that the country was going to war.

What's even more bizarre is that the target of the war is actually the beautiful country on the other side of the ocean. The purpose is to consume the excess population of the two countries.

Not to mention that it is quite logical.

After returning home to get the grain card, Xu Dong leisurely went to the nearby grain store. What's outrageous is that it was during working hours, but there was a long queue in front of the grain store.

He found a place to park the car.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the grain store, a scalper came over immediately: "Boss, do you need to cut in line?"

"How much?" Xu Dong asked casually.

"Fifty yuan per person, no cheating." The scalper said enthusiastically.

Xu Dong didn't want to queue up honestly, so he had to spend money to buy a very front seat, and there happened to be a young woman in front of him, which was very pleasing to the eye.

Twenty minutes later, Xu Dong came out with two big bags.

I was lucky this month. My rations were reduced again, but at least I still had a piece of meat. I guess it was thanks to Dabao and the other three.

Fortunately, this is Yanjing, where supplies are guaranteed. In my previous life, I lived in Luyang, and I could hardly see vegetables, let alone meat.

"Brother, do you want to sell some food? The price is negotiable."

This time, the second-hand vendors came over.

"Rice is 180 yuan, pay on the spot."

"Buy cabbage at a high price..."

"I don't sell food." Xu Dong squeezed out of the crowd with his bag tightly. Although there were policemen nearby to maintain order, it was better to be careful.

After walking for a while, another woman came out from the side, the young woman who had just lined up in front of him.

"Hey, big brother, please wait a moment." The woman's voice was very nice.

"Uh, is there something?"

Xu Dong subconsciously stopped. Could it be that his charm was really so great that a woman took the initiative to chat with him, and she was also very beautiful.

The young woman blushed, it should be the first time to do such a thing:

"My last name is Song, big brother, what's your last name?"

Xu Dong was in a complicated mood at this time, and finally gritted his teeth and replied: "Shuangren Xu, I have a bottom line for some things, tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Hello, Brother Xu, then I'll be frank, I seem to have heard just now that there is meat in your family account, right?"

Xu Dong was confused, that's it?

Knowing that it was a misunderstanding, he quickly frowned and put on a look of keeping strangers away.

"It's true that there is meat, but you don't need to ask, I don't sell meat."

The young woman had a pleading look on her face:

"Brother Xu, if there is a way, I won't lose face and beg for help.

Listen to me, my baby has the flu, the child is too malnourished, has been having a fever, and the condition keeps coming back. I'm really scared!"

As she spoke, the young woman actually started crying.

Xu Dong was at a loss for a moment, and could only persuade her hurriedly: "Don't cry, crying won't solve the problem."

"Brother Xu, I really beg you, I'm willing to pay ten times the price to buy it."

"This is not a matter of money!"
