Chapter Ninety-Seven: Xiaoyu, I Want to Eat in the Canteen Too (Plus Change)
After eating in the cafeteria, Luo Cheng is also going back to the factory, and there are still his things in the office, and it is not easy to take them back at one time. I'm going to divide it into two parts, first take the coal stove and the kettle and the hot water bottle back, and the pot and the like will be tomorrow. But on the way back, he planned to take a detour from the grain store. This fine grain is not enough to eat, he is not used to eating coarse grain, thinking that there is no good place to sign in today, it is better to go to the grain store to sign in.
When Luo Cheng came to the grain store, the grain store was already closed, and he couldn't enter the store, so he could only get close to the door.
"System, check-in."
"Sign in successfully, get two catties of rice, one pound of corn kernels, one pound of flour, one pound of cornmeal, two sweet potatoes, and half a pound of soybeans."
Looking at the things signed in by the system, I feel okay, except for sweet potatoes, which belong to coarse grains, and soybean corn kernels belong to coarse grains, the others are considered fine grains, and the cornmeal obtained is the kind of cornmeal that is really in later generations, and the noodles made of pure corn.
Because he was carrying something in his hand, after signing in, Luo Chengcheng went home immediately.
Longyang Town, Luo's family.
At this time, everyone has a big nest, and they are all listening to Luo Xiaoyu talk about things in the city, except for poems, everyone's interest is very high.
And the reason why Luo Shishi is a little unhappy is very simple, my sister just said that she ate in the eldest brother's canteen, the dish was fried in lard, but it was fragrant, and my sister also said that she ate a total of seven bowls of rice. Although it is not a big bowl of rice like at home, the lunch box may be less each time, but it is enjoyable to eat.
Originally, Luo Shishi said that she would go to the city with her sister Luo Xiaoyu to find her eldest brother, but because she didn't want to waste the money for the round-trip ticket, she didn't let her go. But my sister also said just now, she didn't have to spend money to take the car back and forth, the driver who drove the shuttle bus has a good relationship with the eldest brother now, and he also recognized her as Luo Cheng's sister, she didn't ask for money when she went, let alone when she came back, Luo Cheng sent it to the car, and she didn't give money.
Thinking that the fare money was not given, if I went myself, then I could eat in the canteen where my eldest brother worked, just like my sister. Although she is more than a year and a half younger than her sister, she thinks she can eat seven bowls of rice. And the eldest brother also took his sister to walk around the city, and she saw a lot of things, and she thought about it too.
"Xiaoyu, your brother promised to come back, and he should come back tomorrow, some say it's in the morning or in the afternoon."
"No, the eldest brother said that he would come back to help the soldiers go to greet his relatives, but he didn't say that he would take the shuttle bus tomorrow morning or in the afternoon."
"Well, then you and Shishi will go to the intersection tomorrow morning to pick up your eldest brother, if you don't receive it in the morning, go again in the afternoon."
Father Luo Wen explained, now that it's cold, Luo Cheng has brought a quilt or something to the city, maybe he will bring the quilt back again this time, this thing will come back, anyway, they have nothing to do, it is better to pick up someone.
There are not many quilts at home now, and in winter, the family will make a straw quilt to press on the surface. The main reason is that there are many people in the family and they can't afford so many beds and quilts.
In the past, when Xiaoyu and Shishi were young, it was cold, and they could squeeze together with their parents to cover two quilts, but now they can't squeeze it when they are big, so they can only add grass quilts in the cold.
With this condition, Luo Cheng is also good. Some people in rural areas, with many family members, can't get cold in winter, and four or five people are crammed into a bed, and the charcoal can't be burned. People who sleep outside often have a poor quilt cover, and they can't sleep cold every day. Some people even simply burrow into the grass nest, which is the kind of grass nest that feeds the cows.
The shabby cotton jacket worn on the body in winter is also pressed on it as a quilt when sleeping at night, anyway, there are many people in the family, and they don't sleep on one bed, and they want to cover two quilts, which are rare in the countryside.
Xiaoyu and Shishi both nodded, picking up the eldest brother, even if their father didn't say it, they were actually willing to take the initiative to go.
At night, except for grandma and Xiaoyu, who ate a nest, everyone else ate two. Grandma is old and lets other people eat, and Xiaoyu eats so much in the canteen in the city at noon, so she brings back ten nests, which is not enough for the average score, so naturally she eats one less.
Now everyone at home will eat a dry nest with porridge at noon, and they will sleep not long after eating at night, and they usually don't make nests.
After the meal, the two girls helped wash the dishes and pots in the kitchen before returning to the room to sleep.
Lying on the bed, Xiaoyu didn't sleep immediately, but told Shishi a little excitedly that if she went to live in the city in the future, what would happen.
"Xiaoyu, I want to eat in the cafeteria too."
Of course, Shishi will also fantasize about the days when she will live in the city in the future, but she is still thinking about eating in the cafeteria, and she can't help but hold Xiaoyu and say her thoughts.
After all, Shishi is only a fourteen-year-old person, and he will be a child in the afterlife. This era is indeed very sensible, but in the face of some things, after all, the child's side is revealed, and the old saying is that girls are greedy, which may really be well-founded.
"Shishi, we may go into the city with the eldest brother the day after tomorrow, and let the eldest brother make you candy to eat when the time comes."
"I'm not a kid anymore, don't coax me with candy. I just want to eat in the cafeteria. ”
"Okay, let the eldest brother take you to the cafeteria, and you can also eat seven bowls of rice."
"I can eat eight bowls."
"Well, you are better than my sister, you eat eight bowls."
At night, the moon hung bent high, as if laughing at the whispers of two little girls.
The next day, Ngee Ann City, courtyard house.
Yesterday, I had a stove and a kettle, and I wanted to ask my neighbor to borrow some coal to boil water, and said that I would return the coal to them tomorrow. But he didn't borrow it, not because the neighbor was stingy and didn't borrow it, but because he couldn't live, how could he waste a coal just by boiling water.
Generally, everyone boils water after making a meal at night. Even some people save water, after boiling the water, they feel that the coal can still be burned, but they are extinguished with water, and they are put outside to dry the next day, even if they become cinders.
So the neighbor asked Luo Cheng to fill the kettle directly with water and boil it on the stove at their house. In fact, this is also a very normal communication between neighbors, today this one borrows some salt, tomorrow that one borrows a match. Even if someone in the sleeping house is sick, if he can't move, he will not be polite, that is really to treat the neighbor as his own family and shout for help.
Luo Cheng is the same here, if you really need help, don't feel embarrassed if it's a trivial matter or just a little bit of effort. If you think anyone can help, you can just come to the door and shout, and you don't have to pretend to be polite. But everyone is measured, don't go to the door to ask your neighbors if you lack food at home, unless the relationship is really good, and you also know the food situation of your neighbors.
Although the hot water bottle is the old one brought back from the canteen, the heat preservation is still very good, and the factory director also said that if the bottle is not kept warm, he will quickly take it back and replace it.
After brushing your teeth, wash your face with hot water, which is very comfortable.
Today's 'task' is very heavy, he has thought about it, anyway, it is to paint cakes, not only to the farm, but also to paint the garment factories and textile factories, the cakes are drawn for them first, a car, the temptation of this cake is not small.
