"Thank you for your hospitality these days." Michiko stood up and bowed and said respectfully.

"Why? Why not go back? Lin Hansheng looked at her with moist eyes and said, and said softly, "Is it bad at home?" ”

Michiko looked at him hesitantly and said, "I told Nobuo not to laugh at me. ”

"No, no." Lin Hansheng looked at her tenderly and said.

"I don't have enough to eat at home." Michiko said as she looked at him with pure eyes.

"How is this possible?" Lin Hansheng looked at her in disbelief and said, exaggeratedly, "What kind of life are you living at home!" "Tell me how this day came to be." ”

"I don't know?" Michiko's eyes were full of dreamy eyes and looked at him and said, "Before you come to Shina, our family eats meat, rice and rice. You can take a bath whenever you want. The wife of life is peaceful, and our family is happy and full of life. We can go to the movies, we can see Kabuki, and even you can go to eat Western food in a suit. ”

This is normal, Ito is considered a wealthy class in Japan, Lin Hansheng said in his heart.

Michiko's little face fell, "But in the second year after you left, taxis began to disappear on the streets of Tokyo, and there were fewer and fewer restaurants on the streets?" ”

"Why?" Lin Hansheng asked in disbelief.

"I can't buy gasoline to make a fire, so I can only use coke." Michiko smiled excitedly and said, "As long as you take the branch, everything will be fine." Be patient! ”

It turned out that it was so coaxed and promoted, Lin Hansheng said angrily in his heart.

"And then! How can you say that you can't get enough to eat? Lin Hansheng's pure eyes were wet and full of concern.

"Later, it was difficult to buy cooking oil and fried fish in street restaurants." Michiko said with a frown.

"How is it possible, we are next to the sea, and there is still a shortage of fish to eat?" Lin Hansheng looked at him in surprise and said.

"Fishing boats have been requisitioned, and they can't go to sea or catch fish." Michiko looked at him with innocent eyes and said, "Even if there is no requisition, you can't go to sea without gasoline!" ”

When Lin Hansheng heard this, he understood, and all the fuel was requisitioned to the battlefield.

"It used to be a thriving street! The streets of Tokyo are lined with food stores and lifestyle stores. Michiko said with a smile and a light sigh, "But later, the shops on the street couldn't even buy red bean soup." In '39, a price control decree was promulgated, which allowed sellers to set their own prices, except for the public prices of about 100,000 products, which could only be negotiated by a group of business operators and approved by the government. Later, forced rationing was introduced, including clothing, rice, and charcoal. When I came, Tokyo even had to be rationed matches. ”

What does this mean? Because of the extreme shortage of materials, and the fuel is basically consumed on the battlefield, the local materials are extremely scarce.

Should! Let you invade others, you deserve it!

"But even if I had a ration card, I couldn't buy anything." Michiko said regretfully, "The truck is out of gas and can't run." He frowned lightly, "Those who open shops on the street must join the regional industry portfolio together with the rivals in the same industry." ”

"And how have you lived these two years?" Lin Hansheng looked at her tenderly and said.

"When it comes to living expenses, we have to join the town council or neighborhood group with our neighbors, otherwise we won't be able to get rations." Michiko said happily, "Fortunately, we are retainers of the Ito family. I've heard that ...... outside," said with a snickering look on his face, "many families don't get food and household items even if they join the neighboring group." My brother-in-law had to beg me to get the ration. He said angrily, "I said at the beginning that my sister should not marry a commoner, but now she has to suffer from life!" ”

"What about the civilians?" Lin Hansheng said worriedly.

"People who have a relationship with the military, or people who are good with the leaders of the neighboring teams, can naturally get food!" Michiko said with a grin, "I heard Miyako say that in the civilian area where she lives, many girls exchange their bodies for food. ”

Damn it! Lin Hansheng scolded in his heart, sure enough, the world was as black as a crow.

Lin Hansheng looked at her in surprise, and actually laughed, don't you have a little sympathy for the same woman?

My own sister-in-law still laughed, shouldn't we help each other at this difficult time? This woman's mind is twisted.

"Didn't anyone protest?" Lin Hansheng looked at her curiously and asked.

"Protest?" Michiko looked at him in horror and said, "Sabotage the war, you will be punished." ”

"This rationing system, control and control will be corrupt, is there any?" Lin Hansheng's deep black eyes looked at her and asked.

"Yes! Of course, military figures and neighboring team leaders colluded with each other to pull a considerable part of the limited supplies to the black market. Michiko said regretfully, "It's a pity that we don't have a way, otherwise we will definitely make a lot of money." ”

Lin Hansheng took a sip of coffee to hide his consternation.

"They are buying and selling supplies on a large scale. This situation has aroused strong dissatisfaction among people, and there are even rumors in the streets and alleys that 'there are stars (army) and anchors (navy) in this world, and there are connections and heads and faces, and only fools need to queue up.' Michiko said as she looked at him calmly.

It's all taken for granted.

"Many shops on the street have closed down. Fruit and vegetable shops, tofu shops, coal shops, pharmacies, bathhouses, laundries, sushi restaurants, cafes, bookstores, etc. are closed. Michiko said regretfully, "Even our favorite cake shop is closed, and I haven't eaten it for a long time, so I really want to." ”

"The cake shop here is good, I'll ask Tanaka to buy it for you." Lin Hansheng looked at her softly and said.

"Thank you." Michiko said with a happy face, "After you left, I rarely ate on the street, and then I couldn't eat anymore, so I went out of business." He smiled slightly, "Before I came, as soon as I heard the news that the store was stocked, I ran towards the store with my legs, and the queue was so long!" ”

"The Ito family has a lot of industry, so it's okay!" Lin Hansheng suddenly remembered and said, I shouldn't be so bad!

"After the head of the family is gone, the little master is not angry, the property is not kept, it has been swallowed up, and now only the shelf is left." Michiko shed tears sadly, "Why else would this be! "The trading companies are not having a good time, and almost all the small trading companies that used to be active have closed down. "And the big trading companies are either transforming or going out of business." ”

"What about the arsenals? A super-large trading company, the family gate valve is famous. Lin Hansheng asked curiously.
