A soft-waisted educated youth has sex with a loyal dog and a rough guy in the 1960s

The bags given by the grain and oil station are made of fine linen and are very strong. They cost five pieces each.

Lu Miao asked for twenty kilograms of rice and ten kilograms of noodles. They were divided into two bags, which was only a dime.

If you have a grain and oil supply certificate, you can buy grain at the grain and oil station at public prices. The price of fine grain rice and white flour is 1 cents per pound.

Thirty kilograms is five yuan and four, plus other ingredients, bags, and bottles. Lu Miao counted five yuan and handed it out.

Originally, I was quite embarrassed to trouble Meizi to make a trip.

Now it seems that it's good that Meizi followed.

Otherwise, she would really not be able to carry these thirty kilograms of grain, plus scattered bottles and cans.

Lu Miao alternately carried the grain bag with her left and right hands, while Mei Zi helped her hold the seasoning bottle.

Wandering all the way, it took half an hour to get home.

Lu Miao put down the things, then took the various ingredients from Mei Zi's hand and put them on the stove.

Lu Miao took out her wallet, took out a dime and gave it to Mei Zi.

"The fire hasn't started at home yet, so I don't have anything to eat for you... Take this money and go buy an egg fried dough stick from the stall outside tomorrow morning."

Meizi handed the money back to her as if it was hot to her hands.

"Sister-in-law Fu, I don't want money... I just gave you a guide and didn't do anything."

When she didn't answer, Meizi put the money on the stove and walked out:

"You can call me when you have work from now on. I don't want anything good. Just give me a bite of the leftover food at home."

Plums are great, no money required, just food.

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

Lu Miao put away the dime stamped with "one dime", feeling dizzy and confused as to what the plum picture was.

Tang Mei heard the noise, came out with the child in her arms, and asked who was here just now.

Lu Miao told me about Meizi.

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

"Don't look at the people in Beijing who pride themselves on being tough. There are really not many girls in the alleys who are valuable."

There are many families that favor sons over daughters. Those who are good will stick to their sons. Girls are born to work hard.

Especially girls from poor families.

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

Meizi's situation at home might not be too good, so she was given food so she could eat outside.

If you give her money, she may not be able to keep it.

Mingyi fell asleep and yawned on his grandma's shoulder.

Tang Mei hugged him and rocked him gently. Seeing that Lu Miao was distracted, Tang Mei said:
"You should live your own life peacefully first, and don't worry about others."

There are many people who are suffering, and we have to take care of them if we want to save them.

Lu Miao nodded, "I understand."

Thinking of something, he added:

"From now on when we go to school, if you see that it is inconvenient for your child to do work, if she comes, just let her do it."

"If you don't feel comfortable letting her do it in the house, let her do it in the courtyard. If she can help you, Brother You and I will feel better."

Tang Mei glanced at her angrily, knowing what she had in mind, but she didn't refute her again.

It was getting dark, so Fu Jingyou made two trips to bring back some solid wood boards.

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

The brother was asleep, and the sister was playing with her hands in the dim sky.

Seeing the light, my sister reached out to hug her:
"Dad~"

Fu Jingyou handed the kerosene lamp to Tang Mei without holding the child.

He was still dirty.

"Is it cold in the house?"

Tang Mei said "hmm":
"Have a good afternoon, my bones will be a bit cold once it gets dark... I put an extra quilt on the child, so it won't be a problem."

The new house has just been moved in and it lacks a bit of popularity, which makes it feel more deserted.

Fu Jingyou went out and dismantled an old cupboard door.

Taking the finely trampled firewood into the house, he went to the kitchen to get two pieces of charcoal. Lu Miao is cooking in the kitchen.

Used stove.

Wash pots, knead noodles, and cook gnocchi.

In addition, some water was added to the pot, and the two buckets of water in the kitchen had reached the bottom.

"Last time I saw a public well over there in the alley, and I can still see a little bit of it now. You can bring two more buckets of water back. I'll use it later for washing pots and washing up."

"it is good"

Fu Jingyou nodded.

"I'll burn the kang over there first, and I'll be there soon."

Lu Miao nodded and returned to the kitchen to continue working.

I just moved here and the new stove is not yet in use.

In addition, Lu Miao was a lazy person, and she was a little reluctant to reach out in the cold weather, so she didn't come up with anything for dinner.

I cooked a pot of gnocchi per head and sliced ​​some of the leaner parts of the bacon.

Put it into the pot with the gnocchi, close the lid and cook, it smells quite fragrant.

While eating, the two children pinched the muscular pieces of meat and bit them until their little heads trembled.

Lu Miao was amused and stood aside laughing.

Tang Mei finished eating first and fetched water for the two children to wash.

There was a kang burning in the house and it was warm.

The two children sat on the kang wearing single clothes and were not afraid of catching cold.

"A few years ago, we used to burn this kind of earthen kang when we were young, but now we see less and less of this kind of kang in urban areas."

Tang Mei felt a little emotional.

Lu Miao said with a smile: "It shows that society is progressing and everything will have central heating in the future."

Firewood is difficult to obtain in urban areas, and coal costs money. Even if there are earthen kangs in some old homes, they may not be able to burn them.

If you look around the rural areas on the outskirts, you will see that there are still many families who burn kangs. Crop stalks, corn cobs and the like can be burned and are resistant to burning.

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

Lu Miao gave Tang Mei some water and asked her to take her two children to bed first.

She went to clean up the kitchen, put the remaining bacon and gnocchi in the pot into a sea bowl and sealed it, then poured water into the pot and added a few thin firewood to the stove.

Tang Mei's house had a kang, and Lu Miao had just sat on the kang for a while. It was warm and really comfortable.

It's the kind of comfort that neither air conditioning nor heating can match.

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

Lu Miao couldn't wait, so she picked up the unwanted pieces of wood he sawed off and the wood shavings he had planed, and brought them into the room, and burned the kang in their room.

While waiting for the temperature to rise, Lu Miao came out and held a kerosene lamp to accompany Fu Jingyou.

"Burning the kang should cost a lot of firewood, right? The kang in our house is still so big."

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

"I use it for cooking every day!"

Fu Jingyou thought about it for a while and said:

"It won't be cold for a few days this year, so don't worry about the fever."

"My aunt has a coal supply certificate, which provides 40 kilograms of coal per month at a public price. From now on, I want to buy it every month and save it slowly."

Then buy raw coal.

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

The plate is so big that it won't be a problem to keep it warm for half the night.

If you feel the temperature is not enough at that time, add more.

Lu Miao nodded.

I originally wanted to accompany him to get the tables and chairs out first, but it turned out that the "freshness" of the kang was not worth it.

After cleaning up the kitchen, she fetched water and went back to the house to wash up. She climbed onto the kang and lay down early.

It was not enough to just lie down on his own, but he also urged Fu Jingyou to wash up quickly and come back to lie down together and enjoy themselves. (End of chapter)
