My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 92 Winter is here
After the time entered November, the winter in Yanjing arrived, and the daytime was finally not so hot, and the maximum temperature was basically hovering around 40 degrees.

However, the temperature at night dropped sharply, suddenly reaching minus seventeen or eight degrees below zero, literally pouring water into ice.

Early in the morning, Xu Dong sent the Coco sisters to school, and then drove back home. It was only [-]:[-] a.m., and it was still early for him to go to work!
Xu Dong yawned and entered the courtyard.

Some competent departments just like to mess around. They have a good class at [-]:[-], but they have to be an hour earlier. It's so cold in the morning and they don't let the students sleep for a while.

Seeing Xu Dong coming back, Xu Ma immediately called out: "Smash, go and feed the chicken, the chicken food is in the red bucket in the kitchen."

"I know, come here." Someone replied feebly.

Xu Dong came to the chicken coop with a red bucket.

My mother got a big bag of rice bran from nowhere. The chicken food is to mix rice bran with leftovers. It is said that this way of feeding can produce more eggs.

He didn't know if it was useful. Anyway, he could pick up four or five eggs every day at home, so the effect should be a little.

"Giggle chrome..." Xu Dong shouted skillfully.

As if they heard the signal, the chickens ran out of the cage and surrounded the food bowl.

Xu Dong skillfully poured the chicken food into the steel food bowl, and soon there was a sound of "ding ding ding".

Next, he cleaned the whole chicken coop again, and the chicken manure he swept out was not thrown into the trash can, but poured into a pottery pot on the side.

The tank is a mixture of planting soil and chicken manure. After fermenting for a period of time, it is a good 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. The watermelon juice was freshly squeezed in the morning, and the whole family loved it.

"Husband, come here."

Not long after sitting down, Yang Lina was calling again.

"Here." Xu Dong hurriedly put down the cup in his hand.

Yang Lina was dressing the triplets when she saw Xu Dong coming in, and hurriedly asked:
"I've run out of diapers, are there any in the basement?"

"Yes, I'll get it for you."

For diapers, Xu Dong doesn't hoard much, but it's okay to use them for two years, and they won't be needed when the triplets are three years old.

Most families don't wear them until they are two years old, but their family has triplets, which is too troublesome to take care of, so it is better to wear them until the age of three.

He brought a box of diapers from the basement, and Xu Dong changed the diapers for the triplets.

"Husband, come back from get off work early today." Yang Lina reminded casually.

"What's wrong?" Xu Dong asked strangely.

Yang Lina rolled her eyes: "Today is Mom's birthday, you won't forget it, right?"

"Uh, isn't it my mother's birthday?" Xu Dong said embarrassedly.

In his impression, no matter in the past or this life, parents are used to being frugal, and have never held birthdays in a serious manner. At most, the whole family has a good meal together.

"This year is my mother's 59th birthday, and this must be a big event." Yang Lina explained.

According to the local tradition in Luyang, when the old people celebrate their birthdays, there is usually a saying that "over nine is not ten".

Xu Dong nodded and said, "Understood, I'll drop by and order a cake later."

"Don't waste cigarettes, isn't it just a chicken cake? We have a lot of eggs in the house, and we can make them with a rice cooker. We will do it ourselves."

"Can you do it?" Xu Dong asked suspiciously.

"You forgot, I didn't make the moon cakes 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 bring someone to pick up the new winter clothes.

The regular workers were given black police jackets with trousers and shoes. They were very warm and stylish, and they were two sets per person.

As for the dispatch workers, it was an old-fashioned cotton coat. Before, everyone shared one piece for two people. Whoever worked the night shift would wear it. Now everyone has one piece.

Uncle Chen felt sorry for his grandson, and he didn't know how to get him a set of clothes for Chen Yang. He was so happy that the other party wanted to work the night shift immediately.

I ate in the canteen at noon, and it was outrageous that the canteen had to implement the food stamp system.

According to the instructions in the notice, the food stamps must be exchanged for grain, and no matter what kind of grain, it is a pound for a pound.

Several colleagues in the security department gathered together to talk about "insider" information, but Xu Dong didn't care, and listened quietly.

"This time it seems to be true. All government canteens across the country must implement the food stamp system."

"Is it necessary?" Gao Yuemei doubted.

"I heard that it is to plug the loopholes. In the future, except for the army, food will only be distributed to individuals, and any agency or unit will not be an exception."

Lao Jin said with an inscrutable expression.

"What about cooking, don't you also need a ticket?" Xiang Xin groaned.

"Didn't you read the notice, meals and dishes are together, and three or two food stamps are charged in the cafeteria for each meal."

Xu Dong couldn't help but interjected: "It's okay, three taels of food stamps are not too much."

It seems that the power company should be able to get food from other sources, otherwise, even girls will not be able to eat enough food.

This is not a joke, right now there is a shortage of oil and water, and many people's appetites are increasing. People like Gao Yuemei, who are more than 50 years old, have to add rice every meal.

"I really hope the drought can end soon." Xiang Xin sighed, "I haven't eaten meat for more than half a month."

Lao Jin took the opportunity to tease: "Xiao Xiang, I know that there is a barbecue restaurant nearby, which sells meat, do you want to try it?"

"Ouch..." Xiang Xin gestured to vomit.

"Why, Xiaoxiang, are you pregnant?" Lao Jin said unexpectedly.

Gao Yuemei quickly waved her hand.

"Lao Jin, did the shop you mentioned sell roasted mice? Xiang Xin and I went there once, but it made people sick."

Xiang Xin echoed: "Yes, such a big mouse, without even removing its head and tail, just stuffed it in its mouth. I don't know how you stinky men can get a mouthful."

"hey-hey…"

Lao Jin smacked his lips and said, "Actually, this is a local specialty snack in Minzhou, as long as you pass the level in your heart.

Speaking of which, this roasted mouse is quite popular. Every time I go there, I have to wait in line for more than half an hour, and I didn't get it several times. "

Xu Dong's appetite was instantly hooked.

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 roasted mice that just came out of the oven, the outside is coke and the inside is tender, the mouth is full of oil, and the more you chew, the more fragrant, the taste is unforgettable to this day.

"Lao Jin, come 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, and his family was very rich. He usually brought a lunch here, and he never lacked meat.

"I like to try new things..."

Xiang Xin couldn't take it anymore: "Brother Xu, why are you doing this? It's enough for you one by one. Anyway, I won't eat mouse meat if you kill me."

Gao Yuemei lost her appetite and left with Xiang Xin and another female colleague.
