Chapter Ninety-Two: Winter Is Coming
After the time enters November, the winter in Yanjing has arrived, and the day is finally not so hot, and the maximum temperature basically hovers around 40 degrees.
But the temperature at night plummeted, suddenly to minus 17 or 8 degrees, literally splashing water into ice.
Early in the morning, Xu Dong sent the Coco sisters to school, and then drove back home, it was only seven o'clock, and it was still early for him to go to work!
Xu Dong yawned and entered the courtyard.
Some authorities just like to toss around, start classes at half past eight, have to be an hour early, and the morning is so cold, and they don't let the students sleep a little longer.
Seeing Xu Dong coming back, Xu's mother immediately called: "Smash, go and feed the chickens, the chicken food is in the red bucket in the kitchen." ”
"Got it, come on." Someone replied weakly.
Xu Dong came to the chicken coop with the red bucket.
My mother didn't know where to get a big bag of rice bran, and the chicken food was leftovers mixed with rice bran, which was said to give more eggs.
He didn't know if it was useful, anyway, he could pick up four or five eggs every day at home, and the effect should be a little bit.
"Gurgle ......," Xu Dong shouted expertly.
As if hearing the signal, the chickens ran out of the cage and gathered around the food bowl.
Xu Dong skillfully poured the chicken food into the steel food bowl, and soon a "dingding" sound sounded.
Next, he cleaned the chicken coop again, and the chicken manure was not thrown into the trash, but into the clay jar on the side.
The tank is a mixture of planting soil and chicken manure, which is fermented for a period of time, which is the best organic fertilizer, which can be used to fertilize the land.
After cleaning, Xu Dong felt a little thirsty, so he went to the kitchen and poured a glass of watermelon juice, which was freshly squeezed in the morning and loved by the whole family.
"Husband, come here."
Not long after she sat down, Yang Lina was calling again.
"Here we are." Xu Dong hurriedly put down the cup in his hand.
Yang Lina was dressing the triplets, and when she saw Xu Dong coming in, she hurriedly asked:
"I'm running out of diapers, are there any in the basement?"
"Yes, I'll get it for you."
Diapers, Xu Dong doesn't hoard much, but it's okay to use them for two years, and they don't need them when the triplets turn three.
Generally, families don't wear it until they are two years old, but their family is triplets, and it is too troublesome to take care of them, so it is better to wear them until they are three years old.
A box of diapers was brought up from the basement, and Xu Dong helped the triplets change the diapers.
"Husband, come back early from work today." Yang Lina reminded casually.
"What's wrong?" Xu Dong said strangely.
Yang Lina rolled her eyes: "Today is my mother's birthday, you won't forget it, right?" ”
"Uh, isn't Mom's birthday?" Xu Dong said embarrassedly.
In his impression, whether in his previous life or in this life, his parents are thrifty, and they have never held birthdays very seriously, at most, the whole family has a good meal together.
"This year is my mother's 59th birthday, and this is definitely going to be a big deal." Yang Lina explained.
According to the local tradition of Luyang, when the elderly celebrate their birthdays, there is generally a saying that "nine is not ten".
Xu Dong nodded and said, "Got it, I'll stop by and order a cake later." ”
"Don't waste cigarettes, isn't it just chicken cakes? There are a lot of eggs stored at home, which can be made with a rice cooker, so you don't care. ”
"Can you do it?" Xu Dong was skeptical.
"You forgot, I didn't make the mooncakes last time!" Yang Lina is still very confident in her cooking skills.
……
When he came to the company, Section Chief Li informed Xu Dong to take someone to get the new winter clothes.
The regular workers were issued with black jackets for police use, with pants and shoes, which were particularly warm and stylish to wear, and they were two sets per person.
As for the dispatch workers, it is the old-fashioned cotton coat, which used to be shared by two people, and whoever worked the night shift wore it, but now everyone finally has one.
Uncle Chen felt sorry for his grandson, and he didn't know how to get a set of clothes for Chen Yang, so that the other party couldn't wait to go to the night shift immediately.
Eating in the canteen at noon, it is outrageous that the canteen is actually going to implement a food stamp system.
According to the regulations, food stamps must be exchanged for grain, no matter what kind of grain, it is a pound for a pound.
Several colleagues from the security department gathered together to talk about the "insider" news, but Xu Dong didn't care, and listened quietly on the sidelines.
"This time it seems to be true, the canteens of organs across the country must implement a food stamp system, and it is said that the big leaders have to pay for the food stamps themselves."
"Is it necessary?" Gao Yuemei was skeptical.
"I heard that in order to plug the loopholes, in the future, except for the army, food will only be distributed to individuals, and no government organization can be an exception."
Lao Jin said with an unfathomable expression.
"What about the dishes, won't you ask for a ticket?" Xiang Xin complained.
"This is not necessary, the meal and the dish are together, and three taels of food stamps are collected in the canteen for each meal."
Xu Dong couldn't help but interject: "It's okay, three taels of food stamps is not much." ”
It seems that the power company should be able to get food from other sources, otherwise even the girls will not be able to eat enough for these three taels of food.
This is not a joke, there is a lack of oil and water at the moment, and many people's meals are greatly increased, and people in their fifties like Gao Yuemei have to add rice to every meal.
"I wish the drought would end soon." Xiang Xin sighed, "I haven't eaten meat for more than half a month." ”
Lao Jin took the opportunity to joke: "Xiao Xiang, I know that there is a barbecue restaurant nearby, and there is meat for sale there, do you want to try it?" ”
"Vomit ......" Xiang Xin threatened to vomit.
"Why Xiaoxiang, are you pregnant?" Lao Jin said unexpectedly.
Gao Yuemei hurriedly waved her hand.
"Lao Jin, is the shop you said sells roasted mice, I went to Xiang Xin once, but it disgusted people."
Xiang Xin echoed: "Yes, such a big mouse, without even removing the head and tail, just stuffed it into its mouth, I don't know how you stinky men can get it." ”
"Hey, hey..."
Lao Jin smashed his mouth and tasted: "Actually, this is a local specialty snack in Minzhou, as long as you pass the level in your heart."
Speaking of which, this roasted rat is quite popular, and I have to wait in line for more than half an hour every time I go there, and I haven't bought it several times. ”
Xu Dong's appetite was aroused.
In his previous life, this roasted rat could be said to be a national delicacy, and he had eaten it only a few times in total.
Especially the freshly baked roasted rat, the outside is charred and the inside is tender, the mouth is full of oil, and the more you bite it, the more fragrant it becomes, and the taste is still unforgettable.
"Lao Jin, let's be together after work."
"Xiao Xu, are you okay with this?"
Lao Jin was very stunned, as far as he knew, this little brother was a rich second generation, his family was very rich, and he usually brought a bento over, and he was never short of meat.
"I'm a man who likes to try new ......"
Xiang Xin couldn't stand it anymore: "Brother Xu, why are you like this, you guys are really enough, anyway, I won't eat rat meat if I kill you." ”
Gao Yuemei also lost her appetite and pulled Xiang Xin and another female colleague away.
