Chapter 668: Meat is an Eternal Topic
What can Ying Fang say? It's all here, is it possible to get it out of the yard?
Fortunately, there is a ready-made kennel at home - the old gold used to live, although it is a little old, but after washing and padding the straw futon, it is much more comfortable than the previous home of the leper dog.
In the Chen family before, Chen Erliuzi didn't even clean up his own kennel, let alone a kennel. It wasn't called a nest at all, just a hole dug under a straw stack, and only hid in it when it was cold or rainy.
Therefore, for the new litter in front of him, the leper dog is no longer satisfied.
The first meal after joining Xiang's family was also quite sumptuous - a roasted and saltless hare leg that Yangyang had won for him, a large bowl of brown rice mixed with bran, and the leftover bones and leftover soup on the host's dinner table, in short, the belly of the leper dog that had been empty for several months was bulging.
Having eaten and drunk to his heart's content, the leper dog snoozed contentedly on the warm straw futon. This kind of life will give me a dozen.
Yang Yang is pestering his mother in the house to keep this dog.
"It's really obedient, it's not noisy, it's not noisy, we work, it also works, and it's not much slower than us to pull up weeds. If it weren't for the fact that it was a dog and not a human, the biogas digester would still be credited. ”
"Oh mom, you promised me! I promise, I'll get the leper dog's three meals a day in the future." It's going to make a nest in our house, and it can also guard our house, right?"
"What do you get for it?" Ying Fangle pinched the tip of her son's little nose and quipped, "You little guy even needs to be raised by his parents, what do you use to raise a dog?"
"I can go up to the mountains and hunt. Uncle Li taught me the skills of catching rabbits, don't believe you, I will go to hunt rabbits and come back. ”
"Alright, you can keep it as you like, but don't let it in. Yingfang couldn't resist her son, thinking that it would be good for multiple dogs to guard the door at home.
Since Lao Jin died, Jin Fang inherited the mantle of Lao Jin - entered the army and became a majestic military dog, and the family has never had a dog again.
I don't know if Chen Erliuzi's leper dog can be raised, but on this cold day, she really can't afford to force it out to be frozen. There is no shortage of food at home, and people can eat dogs, so take it in.
But looking at the leper dog's scattered bald hair, Yingfang was afraid that it would have dog skin diseases, and repeatedly told the triplets not to get too close to it, and not to let it into the house. At least wait until the fur grows and looks less scary.
"If you're really worried about the dog house being too cold, close the cowshed in the yard next door. ”
The wild cow was raised for five or six years and finally matured, and in the first half of the year, it was borrowed by the commune to breed and conceived a calf, and now lives in the spacious cowshed of the public house, where the members are served with delicious food and drink.
After the calf matured, he often helped the commune plow the land, no, he often went to the big cowshed where his mother raised the fetus to eat and drink, and the cowshed of Yingfang's family was naturally vacant.
"Okay! Mom, you're the best! I love you the most! I love you more than my father!" Yangyang, who finally made his mother nod his head, cheered, jumped up and kissed his mother, and ran out to share the good news with his younger brothers and sisters.
Ying Fang shook her head with a smile. continued to pack the luggage at hand, planning to take the triplets to Coal City to see Grandma Lu in a few days.
Xiang just had a month off a year ago, and after discussing with the family, they decided to set off this month and strive to come back around Laba. It's getting colder later, so what if the snow closes the road and the train doesn't work.
"Bring more clothes, cotton shoes should also have a pair of each, the coal city is colder than ours, if it snows, the upper can be changed when it is wet." Jiang Xinrou came in to help her daughter clean up together.
"Are you sure that your father and I don't need to live in a guest house?" The two of them were worried that their daughter and son-in-law would take the triplets out and decided to follow.
"Not really. Yingfang said, "Grandma's family is in the countryside, and she told me before that the yard is very large and there are many rooms. My uncle worked in the mine, and after three years of being transferred to a regular worker, he was assigned a set of employee welfare housing, and took his aunt and cousin to the mine. ”
"That's okay! Your dad and I are not welcome. When we go back, we will carry more food, and bring some specialties from Kyoto and provincial cities, in short, try not to let your grandmother's family break the bank. ”
Ying Fang smiled, in fact, grandma's family is not a stingy person.
But what my parents said is right, these days, whose rations are not calculated to eat? and not a day or two of small accommodation.
Since I went, at least I walked through the relatives on the other end and took the triplets to recognize the people; after I finished, I would accompany Grandma Lu to talk to myself for two days, and it would take seven or eight days to talk about it in a circle. Four adults and three babies, a total of seven people, eat three meals a day for seven or eight days, and the rations are not easy to say.
"Your grandmother's house is short of meat, or let's all bring game. If you don't have enough food, you can take game to the city to exchange for food, how real it is. Jiang Xinrou's eyes lit up and she thought of a good idea.
In these years, the lack of meat is always worse than the lack of food, especially for people in the city, there is a standard ration of food every month, but it is not easy to say about meat, especially in small cities and towns, even if a meat ticket is issued, it may not be possible to buy meat. What can be done if the supply is insufficient?
The meat and eggs in the city are provided by the countryside. If the countryside raises more, the city will share more. If you don't raise enough or encounter epidemics, it is difficult for people in the city to eat meat. Therefore, meat is definitely not afraid of not being unmarketable.
Since last year, there have been fewer red armbands on the street to catch black market transactions, and it is said that the state has loosened its control over this aspect, as long as it does not buy and sell in large quantities, even if it is seen, it is only a few words of verbal education. Sometimes they even turn a blind eye and think they don't see it.
This is good news for farmers who raise chickens and ducks and have surplus grain - they finally don't have to secretly take grain or non-staple food to exchange cloth and daily necessities with others.
"I always feel disrespectful to the host's family, and I think we look down on them. I don't have this scruple when I bring meat, so I just say that it is a New Year's gift, and I don't want to send it too? Send more, bacon, bacon, bacon, everything is more than ten or twenty catties. If you can't bring it, we'll send it by mail, yes! We can send the package, and the big head will be sent over first, and then some will be brought with us. ”
Yingfang does have this plan.
It's really with three babies, and it's not easy to take luggage. Like salted eggs and preserved eggs are not easy to mail, the marinated bacon is lying in the package, and the weather is so cold, it will not be bad.
"Okay. Ying Fang nodded without saying a word.
But the existing game at home, all of them add up, at most one hundred and eighty catties, not counting the gift at the end of the year. The second uncle in Kyoto, the cousin in Haicheng, the old Xia in the provincial capital, and the master and the secretary and president all need human contacts.
