The bags given by the grain and oil station are made of fine linen, which is very strong, and requires five portions each.

Lu Miao's rice costs twenty catties, and the noodles cost ten catties, divided into two bags, which is one dime.

There is a grain and oil supply certificate, and the price of buying grain at the grain and oil station is the public price, and the price of fine grain rice and white flour is 1 jiao and 8 cents a catty.

Thirty catties is five yuan four, plus other ingredients, bags, and bottles, Lu Miao counted five yuan and nine and handed them out.

Originally, I was embarrassed to trouble Meizi to run a trip.

Now it seems that it is good that Meizi has followed.

Otherwise, she really couldn't take these thirty catties of grain, plus scattered bottles and cans.

Lu Miao alternately carried the grain bag with her left and right hands, and Meizi helped her hold the spice bottle.

I wandered all the way and walked for half an hour before I got home.

Lu Miao put down the things, took the various colored materials in Meizi's hand and put them on the stove.

Lu Miao took out her purse and took out a dime and stuffed it into Meizi.

"There's no fire in the house yet, so there's nothing to eat for you...... You take the money, and go to the stall outside tomorrow morning to buy an egg fritters to eat. ”

Meizi returned the money to her as if her hands were hot.

"Sister-in-law, I don't want money...... I just showed you the way, and I didn't do anything. ”

She didn't answer, so Meizi put the money on the stove and walked out:

"Call me when you have a job in the future, I don't want anything good, just give me a bite of leftover food at home."

Plums are very shafted, no money, just food.

After saying that, he was like a rabbit, turned around and ran.

Lu Miao put away the gross ticket with "One Corner" printed on it, and felt dizzy, a little unaware of what Mei Zitu was.

Tang Mei heard the movement, came out with the child in her arms, and asked who had just come.

Lu Miao talked about the plum.

Tang Mei shook her head and sighed, and one sentence solved Lu Miao's doubts:

"Don't look at the people in Beijing who boast of being tough, the girls in the alleys are really not worth much."

There are many patriarchal families, and the good ones are all close to their sons, and girls are born to work hard.

Especially the girls from poor families.

Lu Miao didn't know the specific situation of Meizi, but he could roughly guess some.

Meizi's situation at home, I'm afraid it won't be too good, so I gave her something to eat, and she could eat outside.

Give her money, she may not be able to keep it.

Ming Yi fell asleep and yawned on his grandmother's shoulder.

Tang Mei hugged him and shook him lightly, seeing Lu Miao distracted, Tang Mei said:

"You live your life in peace first, and don't care about the others first."

There are many people who are suffering, and they must be taken care of if they want to be saved.

Lu Miao nodded, "Got it." ”

Thinking of something, he said:

"In the future, when we go to school, you see that it is inconvenient for the child to work, if she comes, you just let her do it."

"I don't worry about letting her do it in the house, so let her do it in the yard, and give you a hand with her bite, and Brother You and I are more comfortable."

Tang Mei glanced at her with disgust, knowing what she was thinking, but she didn't refute her again.

It was dark, and Fu Jingyou came back with some solid wood plates in two trips.

Fu Jingyou went into the house, filled the kerosene lamp with kerosene, lit it, and took it to Tang Mei's house.

The elder brother fell asleep, and the younger sister clasped her hands and played by herself in the bright sky.

Seeing the light, my sister reached out to hug:

"Daddy~"

Fu Jingyou handed the kerosene lamp to Tang Mei and did not hold the child.

He's still dirty.

"It's cold in the house, isn't it?"

Tang Mei said "um":

"Good afternoon, it's a little cold when it's dark...... I put an extra quilt on the child, and it didn't get in the way. ”

The new house has just moved in, and it is still a little lacking in popularity, which will make people feel more deserted.

Fu Jingyou went out and dismantled an old cabinet door.

Bringing the finely broken firewood into the house, he went to the kitchen and got two pieces of charcoal.

Lu Miao was cooking in the kitchen.

with the cooktop.

Wash the pot, mix the noodles, and cook the gnocchi.

In addition, some water was added to the pot, and the two buckets of water in the kitchen had already bottomed out.

"Last time, I saw a public well on the other side of the alley, and now I can still see a little bit, you can bring back two buckets of water, and you have to use it to wash the pot and wash later."

"Good"

Fu Jingyou bowed.

"I'll burn the kang over there first, and I'll go in a while."

Lu Miao nodded and went back to the kitchen to continue to be busy.

I just moved over, and the new stove is not ready yet.

Plus Lu Miao is a lazy person, and she is really reluctant to stretch out her hand when it is cold, so she didn't make any tricks for dinner.

Braised a pot of gnocchi according to the head, and the bacon picked some slices of lean meat.

Put it in the pot and the gnocchi together, buckle the lid and cook, and it smells quite good.

During the meal, the two children pinched the slices of meat and bit their little heads to tremble.

Lu Miao was amused and stood aside and hummed.

Tang Mei took the lead in finishing the meal and fetched water to wash the two children.

The house was burned, and it was warm.

The two children sat on the kang in single clothes, and they were not afraid of catching a cold.

"A few years ago, when we were young, we burned this kind of clay kang, and now there are fewer and fewer of these kang in the urban area."

Tang Mei sighed with emotion.

Lu Miao said with a smile: "It shows that the society is progressing, and it will be centrally heated in the future." ”

Firewood is not easy to get in the urban area, coal requires money, and some old courtyards may not be able to burn if there is an earthen kang.

Looking at the marginal villages, there are still a lot of people who burn kangs, crop stalks, corn cobs and the like, all of which can be burned and can be burned.

Lu Yuanzheng never came back, probably resting in the school dormitory.

Lu Miao fetched water for Tang Mei and asked her to take the two children to sleep first.

She went to the kitchen, put the remaining bacon gnocchi in the pot into the sea bowl and buckled it, and then poured water into the pot and added a few fine sticks of wood to the stove.

Tang Mei's house burned the kang, and Lu Miao sat on the kang just now, it was warm and comfortable.

It's the kind of air conditioning and heating that can't be compared.

Fu Jingyou lit a kerosene lamp and sawed wood in the hall, working overtime.

Lu Miao was a little impatient, picked up the pieces of wood that he sawed off and the planed wood flowers into the room, and burned the kang in their house.

Waiting for the temperature to rise, Lu Miao came out to accompany Fu Jingyou with a kerosene lamp.

"It should take a lot of firewood to burn the kang, right? Our ondol is still so big. ”

"There is so much firewood in the courtyard, what are you afraid of?"

"I need it for cooking!"

Fu Jingyou pondered for a while and said:

"It's not going to be cold for a few days this year, so don't worry about burning it first."

"My aunt has a coal supply certificate there, and she supplies it at a public price of 40 catties every month, and she wants to buy it every month in the future and save it slowly."

When the time comes, buy raw coal.

It is more suitable to use raw coal for burning the kang.

The plate is so large, it is not a problem to keep most of the night warm.

When the time comes, if you feel that the temperature is not enough, you will add more.

Lu Miao nodded.

originally wanted to accompany him to get the tables and chairs out first, but it turned out that it couldn't match the "freshness" of the kang.

After cleaning up the kitchen twice, she fetched water and went back to the house to wash, and climbed on the kang early to lie down.

It's not enough to just lie down by yourself, and urge Fu Jingyou to hurry up and wash up, and come back to lie down and enjoy it together. (End of chapter)
