Chapter 709: Food Purchase Restrictions
Chapter 709: Food Purchase Restrictions
Chen Miao lowered his eyes and said nothing more.
The Lin family's affairs are no longer a secret. Now everyone is laughing at them and pointing fingers at them behind their backs.
Just when everyone's attention was drawn to the Lin family, a major change quietly occurred somewhere on this road!
Go left to the end of the road in front of Yard No. 2, then turn right and walk about four or five hundred meters to reach the garrison area.
Opposite Courtyard No. 2 is Courtyard No. 1.
According to this rule, Courtyard No. 2 should actually be at the end of this road.
But in fact, there is another courtyard next to Courtyard No. 2 and Courtyard No. 1, which is not numbered.
It's not empty inside, there are people living there.
On this day, the garrison suddenly issued a notice asking all the people living there to move out.
Only then did Ye Shu and others realize that the people living in the two courtyards closest to the garrison were not the family members of the cadres of the garrison?
They were all workers from nearby factories!
It's not just one factory, but a mixed residence for the families of employees from the machinery factory, textile factory, garment factory, and food factory!
When Ye Shu heard the news, he was shocked: "Are these factories very close to here?"
Zhao Jinhua: "Not really. The machinery factory and the garment factory are indeed nearby, but the others require more than half an hour by car."
Mrs. Jin: "It's so far away, how come they were assigned here when they divided the houses?!"
Not to mention the issue of distance, this is the rear family area of the garrison area!
Living in such a mixed situation is really problematic!
Zhao Jinhua spread her hands and said, "I don't know either. It was already like this when I came here."
At this time, Ye Shu and Jin Saozi were collecting snow in the yard. Zhao Jinhua came in from outside and brought the news.
It happened that Chen Miao was about to go out. He overheard it when passing by and added:
"The people living in the two courtyards next door have lived there for 20 to 30 years. How could they possibly move?"
Does that mean people lived here during the earliest wartime?
That's really not easy.
Ye Shu and Mrs. Jin looked at each other without saying anything, but they knew in their hearts that Huo Yisheng and the others must have started to take action.
The purpose is to arrange schools near the garrison area.
Since this matter was handled by the authorities, it naturally has nothing to do with them.
It happened to be snowing heavily these past few days, so everyone stayed at home, eating, sleeping and doing some work. Life should have been very boring.
But who doesn’t have a few children?
With so many children in the family, I am very busy every day just dealing with all the little conflicts between them.
Ye Shu's side is considered good. After all, the three little ones are still very united and friendly, and Guaiguai is the big sister and has absolute suppressive power.
But the chattering of the three children at home really gave Ye Shu a headache.
I really wish I could have a soundproof enclosure to cover myself and isolate myself from all the noise outside.
Just like now, the three little ones played ball in the house for a while, got tired and hungry, and came to pester her: "Mom! Mom! I'm so hungry!"
"Mom! I want to eat!"
"Mom! I want to eat baked sweet potatoes!"
"Mom! Let's roast the sweet potatoes!"
……
"Mom!", "Mom!"... The sounds were endless, and Ye Shu's head was buzzing. How could he concentrate on reading?
I had no choice but to put down my pen and tighten the cap: "Okay! Mom will make you some food, don't shout!"
The three little ones also knew their limits and their voices were not too loud.
After all, they didn't want to wake up their younger siblings. Once Sisi and Xiaowu woke up, it would mean that their good days were over.
Ye Shu went to the kitchen, took out a few sweet potatoes, washed them a little, and put them in a circle on the stove.
The three little ones were already hungry and couldn't wait to ask, "Mom! How long will it take for this to be cooked?"
In fact, they have experience in roasting sweet potatoes and know that it will take a long time for the sweet potatoes to be cooked after being put on the stove.
Anyway, it’s definitely not going to be available for a while.
But they are really hungry!
How to fix it?
Ye Shu smiled and discussed with them: "How about we cook a few first? Okay?"
The three little ones nodded in unison: "Okay, Mom!"
Ye Shu simply cooked a few more since she was going to eat them anyway.
She had just steamed the sweet potatoes when there was a knock on the door. It was Zhuang Jingjing. "I fried some melon seeds. I'll give you some."
Ye Shu looked behind her and asked, "Where's Yaya? Why hasn't she come yet?"
Although she had left the wilderness, Yaya was still studying medicine with Ye Shu.
The main thing is that this child is talented and smart, and he is willing to learn. If he is well trained from a young age, he will definitely be a leader when he grows up.
After the heavy snow started falling, Ye Shu asked Yaya to come to her place every morning and afternoon to read and study together.
Zhuang Jingjing: "I'm getting my acupuncture done at home. I said I'll come over when I'm done."
Ye Shu distributed the melon seeds to the children.
He asked obediently, "Where is Sister Xuan'er?"
Zhuang Jingjing: "At home."
Guaiguai grabbed the hands of the second and third children and said, "Let's go play with Sister Xuan'er!"
This means I'm tired of staying at home and want to go out.
It's snowing heavily outside, and the children can't always play outside. When they get bored at home, they want to go to other people's homes to have fun.
Ye Shu warned: "Don't disturb Sister Yaya."
The three little ones cheered, quickly put on their cotton-padded jackets, hats and gloves, and ran away.
After a while, Zhao Jinhua from the backyard came over and knocked on the door, saying:
"There's a purchase limit on food at the grain station! Do you have enough food at home? If not, hurry up and get in line!"
Ye Shu and Zhuang Jingjing looked at each other and opened the door to let her in.
Zhao Jinhua was covered in snow and frost, and she was holding a cloth bag in her hand. Seeing this, she quickly waved her hands:
"No, no, I just queued up and bought five kilograms of food. I have to hurry and get my son to queue up too!"
Her son is ten years old and can be counted as a head.
Anyway, the more you can buy, the better.
Ye Shu hurriedly asked, "Why is there a purchase restriction all of a sudden?"
Zhao Jinhua:
"It's not sudden. Every year when it snows in Wumu Town, there's definitely a purchase limit on grain. But the restrictions weren't this severe before. The limit was always ten kilograms. I don't know what happened this year, but everyone is only allowed to buy five kilograms."
She was really anxious: "Oh, stop talking, hurry up and line up to buy it! If you go too late, there will be nothing left!"
There is a purchase limit and it is first come first served.
Those who can endure hardship and keep queuing will always be able to buy food. As long as they keep queuing, they can always buy food.
But if you can't bear the hardship or can't queue up, then it will be bad. Whether you can buy food depends entirely on luck!
When Ye Shu and the others came down from the wilderness, they brought some food with them, but not much.
Because the food production in the wilderness has decreased this year, they cannot just focus on eating more and taking more away for themselves.
And at that time they thought that since they were in the city, they had food and tickets, so they would definitely not starve!
