Granny Xiang Xin entered the kitchen, and in less than ten minutes, a bowl of steaming kelp pork rib soup was out of the pot.

Since He Jian's sacrifice, Xiang Xin, as the widow of a martyr, is also pregnant with a child, and the rations have been taken care of.

That is, last week, their family's grain card account suddenly added a sum of 20 catties of pork.

It's a pity that Lao He ran to most of the grain stores in the city, and without exception the pork was in short supply, and finally only bought a little more than six catties of pork ribs.

"Xiao Xu, why don't you bring it in?" Granny Xiang Xin hesitated.

Xu Dong shook his head: "Xiang Xin needs to be a confidant right now, I'm not suitable for a big man, and you're more suitable than me, aunt." ”

"Captain Xu is right, old woman, you go in, try to appease Xiang Xin as much as possible." Lao He echoed.

Granny Xiang Xin nodded, and then went straight into the bedroom with the rice bowl.

After a while, the heart-rending cries of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came from the room.

Hearing the cry, Xu Dong was a little at a loss.

Lao He looked relieved: "It's good to cry, I'm afraid that this child will hold everything in my heart, not only will she be uncomfortable, but we will also be uncomfortable watching as elders." ”

Seeing that things were progressing, Xu Dong was about to leave, but he didn't want the doorbell to ring again.

Lao He ran to open the door, and two old people came in.

"Captain Xu, these two are Xiang Xin's parents." Lao He introduced.

Xu Dong hurriedly stood up: "Uncle Xiang, Aunt Xiang!" ”

"You are Captain Xu, our family Xiang Xin is really thanks to you this time." As soon as Xiang Xin's mother came up, she grabbed Xu Dong's arm.

"I also stumbled into ...... by mistake"

Lao Xiang sighed and said: "This is not a mistake, or you young people understand young people better, my mother and I persuaded for an afternoon yesterday, and it is not as useful as your half an hour." ”

After a few words of greeting, Lao Xiang hurriedly entered the bedroom, Xu Dong took the opportunity to say goodbye, Lao He kept it, and finally personally sent the person out of the community.

Back at the power company, Xu Dong first reported the situation to Section Chief Li.

"Xiao Xu, you did a good job this time, young people are just brains, like I can't think of this way at all." Section Chief Li said with emotion.

"Coincidentally, I was also a dead horse as a live horse doctor at that time." Xu Dong said modestly.

Section Chief Li put down the pen in his hand and rubbed his forehead: "Xiaoxiang's matter, let's do it for the time being, you can accompany me on a trip in a few days, if you can get nutritional products here, remember to help me get a copy." ”

"I know, Uncle Li, my aunt has been in good health recently, when is the due date?" Xu Dong asked casually.

"It's not bad, the due date is in early August, which should be about the same time as Xiaoxiang."

"Then you need to pay attention to this time."

"I know, your aunt is also an older mother, so you can't pay attention to it." Section Chief Li nodded.

Xu Dong thought about it and said: "Then I will help my aunt get a big watermelon tomorrow, and eat more fruit in a good mood, it will definitely be beneficial." ”

After a few months of rest, my watermelon is ripe again, and last night's after-dinner fruit was watermelon.

"Xiao Xu, I'm sorry for you." Section Chief Li smiled.

"Uncle Li, when you say this, you will see the outside."

……

Coming out of the office, it's almost time to get off work, I haven't visited Panjiayuan for a long time, Xu Dong plans to go around after work.

Nowadays, Panjiayuan is becoming more and more lively.

didn't go to his own shop, Xu Dong walked directly along the shop street.

"Boss Xu, I haven't seen you for a long time."

"Xiao Xu, I'm back."

Along the way, he was greeted by people all the way, both shop owners and ordinary pedestrians.

has been in Panjiayuan for more than a year, and he has always been generous, Xu Dong is now a well-known person.

When he arrived at the butcher shop, Xu Dong entered the store to take a look, and found that the store had a new owner, and the old acquaintance Cha Boss had left the store at the beginning of the month.

"Where did Boss Cha go?" Xu Dong handed a cigarette to the new boss, Lao Song.

Boss Song took the cigarette and put it under his nose and sniffed it, and then said:

"I heard that I went back to my hometown, and the meat business here in Panjiayuan has completely collapsed, and it hasn't shipped much in the past month."

"Dried seafood is gone?"

Boss Song shook his head: "There is no meat left, we are okay here, I heard that many inland cities are already tightening their belts to live, and the situation is a bit grim." ”

"I've heard a little about this......

"Alas, after all, the conditions are different, at present, the grain produced by the states is twenty-eight cents, and there is a shortage of water in the inland areas, so there are not many indoor farms at all, and now they all rely on support from above, otherwise they would have collapsed long ago."

Boss Song couldn't help sighing, he himself came out of Jinzhou, fortunately he came out early, and now it is difficult to settle down.

"Where is Boss Cha's hometown?" Xu Dong said curiously.

Even if the other party's business can't continue, won't he leave Yanjing?

"In Guangdong, I heard that I went to pour seafood." Boss Song replied.

"It turned out to be Yuezhou!" Xu Dong said with emotion.

Now he is even more curious about Yuezhou, what kind of magical place is this, the seafood market is so popular, it makes people go forward and follow.

The batch of dried Antarctic krill sold to him by Boss Duan at the beginning also came from Guangdong.

From this, it was an absolutely unusual place.

After walking around the shop area, and finally finding nothing, Xu Dong then came to the stall area, where as long as you pay the money, you can set up a stall casually, and occasionally some good things can appear.

For example, today he was lucky enough to meet a seller of raw melon seeds, which was full of bags and looked like he was ten pounds smaller.

Xu Dong stepped forward directly to inquire:

"Boss, how much is your melon seeds?"

The stall owner was a middle-aged woman, and she shook her head: "I don't sell for money, I only exchange food, as long as it's food." ”

"Then where did you get these melon seeds?" Xu Dong said curiously.

"I planted it myself, my house has a small yard, and I planted dozens of sunflowers in flower pots, these are melon seeds that were just planted yesterday." The middle-aged woman replied.

Speaking of this, Xu Dong suddenly remembered a nationwide vegetable boom that had appeared in his previous life, when due to food shortages, many families simply used flower pots to grow vegetables.

Move the pots to the balcony during the day and back at night, so you don't have to worry about cold damage at night.

Many families have struggled to survive through this output.

However, this boom is only seen in coastal areas, where inland cities do not have access to basic water, let alone growing vegetables.

In his previous life, Xu Dong's family had never grown vegetables at all, and a few years later, he still saw relevant reports on the news.

At that time, I was thinking, how can such a precious water resource be used to grow vegetables?

It's too extravagant and too wasteful.
