Chapter 137 Check in
After a meal, the food on the table was eaten clean.
After dinner, Lou Zhenhua's wife immediately started to clean up the table. Lou Yueru and Lou Manyue couldn't stop him, so she could only ask her to help. Lou Zhenhua's little girl was only eight years old and wanted to come and help. Lou Manyue didn't let her go. This girl was only eight years old, so it felt too guilty to ask her to help.
Lou Manyue knew that they were talking about anything inside, so she didn't pay attention to it. After washing the dishes, she took Lou Zhenhua's wife to clean up the house and put the things she brought.
"This yard is good and you can also grow small vegetables, which is even better. There is no need to worry about having no vegetables." Lou Zhenhua's wife was happiest when she saw the two-row vegetable fields.
"Auntie, I'm here to eat vegetables tonight. There is also a long that grows potatoes there. I don't know when it will be ripe. Auntie, have you planted them?" Lou Yueru said childishly, referring to those potatoes that have not yet matured.
Although she grew up in the countryside, she started studying at the age of eight and sometimes went to the fields to help with work, but he had never been exposed to the growing potatoes, so he didn't know how these potatoes were considered mature.
"I have planted it, but there is no land. It's okay. When it matures, I'll dig it for you and send it to you." Lou Zhenhua's wife nodded because it was late and she couldn't see it clearly, but she still promised that if it matures, she would send it back to them.
"No, we have enough food to eat, so let it be for you!" Lou Yueru immediately shook her head. They had enough food to eat, and they didn't care about such a little more potatoes.
"Yes, aunt, we both work, how can we not have enough food? We are still not very familiar here, but if you have anything to do with Grandma Zhou next door to my house, she is a very good person. If you have anything you don't know, you can ask her." Lou Manyue immediately spoke up, they are indeed not short of this food.
"Okay, thank you. My surname is Chen, my name is Chen Lanying. I was in the courtyard before, and they all called me Aunt Lan. You should also call me Aunt Lan." Lou Zhenhua's wife, Chen Lanying, looked at the two cute little girls happily.
"Okay, Aunt Lan, then you guys clean up, let's go first. I looked like there was still some firewood in the woodshed, enough to boil water and take a shower first. By the way, Aunt, the coal ball stove here has not been lit since yesterday. If you want to light the coal ball stove, go to my side to get a lit coal ball. I have seen it before. There are more than 20 coal balls in the kitchen, so I can use it first. Let Grandma Zhou take you there tomorrow to buy it." Lou Yueru remembered that there was no room here for two or three days, and the coal ball stove had to attract the fire first and could only cook tomorrow morning.
"Okay, I'll go to your place to get one to get the fire first, otherwise there will be no way to make breakfast tomorrow morning." Chen Lanying hurriedly walked to the kitchen and took a fire tongs, followed them back to the yard over there.
After Chen Lanying came back and lit the coal ball stove, she walked around the kitchen and found that there was only a large pot of water used to boil water. She pulled out two of them from her luggage. When they were about to move, she really considered all aspects of the pots they originally brought.
At this time, supplies were in short supply, and even buying a pot required twenty industrial coupons. Now a formal worker only has two tickets per month. Some of them are not enough, but there are still none of them.
So even if it was two old pots, she washed them clean and wrapped them in oil paper. Although it was more troublesome to carry her, it was better than not to use them.
Now that I can use it, I saw my son and daughter looking at her admiration, Chen Lanying felt a little proud.
It took Chen Lanying only two days to find out the surrounding situation. Lou Zhenhua had to go to work, and the household registration matter was not allowed to be located on this street for the time being. They did not have their own house yet.
Chen Lanying also has a job assigned to her. She works at the soap factory and works the same as a textile factory, so she settled down and had two children to go to work.
The school is now closed, so there is no need to worry about finding a school for your children.
Chen Lanying had just gone to work when the two children in the family found Grandma Zhou's house.
"Grandma, I am Lou Zhenhua's son. My name is Lou Yuzhu. I am ten years old this year. This is my sister's name is Lou Yuzhu. I am eight years old this year. There is no class in the school now. I want to ask my grandma to take us to get some matchboxes to the house to help my parents to reduce the burden?" Lou Yuzhu stood in front of Grandma Zhou and said with some trepidation.
"Oh, Yuzhu! OK, grandma will take you there." Old Mrs. Zhou understood what he meant and agreed.
I took them to the other side of the street, where the matchbox was located, and I guaranteed them, received some matchboxes, and taught them how to make several before leaving with confidence.
Everyone was in normal life track. Lou Yueru looked at the new forty-five dollars in her hand and was a little excited. After careful calculation, she calculated the 750 dollars she spent should be recovered in less than a few years.
However, it is really difficult to eat meat at this time. Although I hold the meat ticket in my hand, I can't buy it after several trips. Even the bones that have the least meatless were swept clean.
In the supply and marketing cooperative in this county, it is already very good to have a pig supply a month, let alone the dozen small towns under it.
The first production brigade of Loujia Village raised so many pigs, all of which were slaughterhouses in the county and purchased them uniformly, but there was not much meat left in the county.
People nowadays are not stingy, but the pigs raised do not grow quickly, and they can only produce one crop a year, not very big. The largest pig in my memory is no more than 200 kilograms.
"Oh, it's really hard to have some food here. I didn't buy a piece of meat after walking several times, and I didn't even buy a piece of pork bone." Lou Yueru was once again hit by the matter of buying meat.
"Then we will go back to the village during the holiday this week and go up the mountain to hunt." Lou Manyue looked at his listless look and wanted to laugh but didn't dare.
Recently, not only did they not have meat, but even the canteen in the textile factory has not appeared in half a month. She didn't dare to take it out in the space to add extra meals, so she could only endure it.
"Okay, let me tell my dad about my uncle's affairs. By the way, what's the plan of Uncle Tao and the others? Uncle really, can't I go back yet?" Lou Yueru was still a little depressed. Lou Zhenhua had been back for so long, but he couldn't go home to see me. Although someone secretly asked someone to bring something over, it was a bit regretful that he couldn't meet.
