"No need for food stamps, just use money to buy meal stamps. It's just more expensive."

This is normal. We don’t need food stamps, but of course it is more expensive. The woolen mill is state-owned, so it is probably within the plan! Otherwise, it would be impossible not to use food stamps.

"That's it! I understand."

Mom is reluctant to eat at home, and I guess the same is true in the factory cafeteria. Since I know that the factory cafeteria uses meal stamps, it would be a good idea to get some meal stamps for my mom.

Firstly, there is no need to spend money to buy it. Secondly, it allows my mother to eat better in the factory cafeteria. The most important thing is that it allows her to eat more and at least be full.

The meal tickets in the factory cafeteria are called meal tickets. There are five types of tickets, one pound, six liang, four liang, two liang and one liang.

One pound and six ounces come with food stamps. Generally, one pound is four ounces of rice and six ounces of vegetables.

Six liang is two liang of rice and four liang of vegetables. The remaining three are without vegetables and are relatively cheaper.

When Wang Lin goes to work every day, she brings a piece of pickle dumplings and puts them in her lunch box. Needless to say, she doesn't know how to cook.

But it’s not easy to get meal tickets. He can’t steal them again!

In the past, he had no choice but to survive, but now he can survive without stealing, and he also has a home.

So this must not be done. Since you can’t steal, you have to think of other ways, but I haven’t thought of it yet.

Before the meal was ready, the second sister and the third sister came back. Fang Yuan quickly went over and pulled the third sister into the house.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

"Third sister, look what this is?" Fangyuan took the lunch box out of his schoolbag and opened it.

"Ah! Meat, you..." Third sister Fang Shuqi almost shouted when she saw the meat in the lunch box.

Fangyuan quickly picked up a piece and put it in her mouth to prevent her from shouting.

"Shh!" Fangyuan put her index finger to her lips and said, "What are you shouting? I'm afraid others won't know!"

"But you..."

"This is rabbit meat. I caught it myself and will eat it together at dinner time."

"Yeah!" Fang Shuqi had not eaten meat for a long time. She swallowed the meat that Fangyuan put in her mouth and looked at the lunch box with drooling eyes.

Fangyuan still didn't understand what was going on, so he picked up another piece and put it in her mouth and said, "Eat this piece again, and then eat it later when you eat."

"Okay, brother, you are so kind."

Fangyuan put the lunch box back into his school bag, looked out at the second sister, shook his head and said nothing. To be honest, he really wanted to call the second sister in, but after thinking about it, he decided not to.

Because he knew that the second sister didn't like him, and even said she hated him a little, and this could only be resolved slowly in the future.

Wang Lin cooks very quickly. Needless to say, it’s a pancake. In fact, eating pancakes is already very good. You must know that there are still many people who can’t eat this.

Pasting pancakes is the same as making steamed buns. They are made with sweet potato flour and cornmeal mixed together. Pasting pancakes is simpler, while steamed buns take time.

That's why Fangyuan and his family eat this every day. There's no other way. There are only two people in the family who can cook, but both of them are at work. In order to rush for time, they can only cook this.

Just as Wang Lin set the meal, Fangyuan took out the lunch box and placed it on the table.

Others don't know what's inside, but the third sister Fang Shuqi knows! When she saw the lunch box, her eyes started to shine.

"Son, what is this?" Wang Lin said as she took the lunch box and opened it.

When he saw that there was meat inside, he raised his head and looked at Fang Yuan and asked: "Son, where did this... where did this come from?"

"Mom, what?" Before Fangyuan could answer, the second sister Fang Shuli asked and stood up to take a look.

"Meat!" Second sister Fang Shuli also looked at it with shining eyes, and reached out to grab it.

Wang Lin slapped her hand away, looked at Fangyuan and asked, "Tell me, what's going on?"

"Mom, this is rabbit meat."

"Rabbit meat?" Wang Lin glanced at the lunch box.

"Yes!" Fangyuan nodded and continued: "You also know that I have been alone before, so I learned to catch rabbits. I caught one today. I'm afraid that people will know if I do it at home, so I do it outside.

Just got it back."

Fangyuan's words were half true and half false. He said it was a lie when he said that we wandered outside together and learned to catch rabbits. If we really learned how to write, the owner of this body would not starve to death.

As for what I said next, it is completely true. The more true it is, the less likely others will doubt it.

Also, it was a miracle that an eight-year-old child from Fangyuan could survive, so Wang Lin still believed what he said.

"That's all?" Wang Lin believed what Fangyuan said, but when she saw the meat in the lunch box, she asked again.

Because a rabbit cannot only have this, the meat in this lunch box can only have two legs at most.

"And." After finishing speaking, Fangyuan ran into the bedroom, took out his schoolbag, and took out a lunch box from inside.

As soon as I put my schoolbag on the stool, I opened the lunch box.

Seeing a lunch box full of meat, Wang Lin said in surprise: "So much? You didn't eat it?"

"No." Fangyuan shook his head.

"You kid." Wang Lin held Fangyuan's head and kissed him on the head.

"Mom, let's eat these, I'll keep this for eldest sister." Fangyuan pushed the full box out and took back the smaller half.

"Eat these, keep these, and ask your eldest sister to buy some radishes in the evening, stir-fry them with radishes, and you can eat them for several days."

Wang Lin said as she took the lunch box from Fangyuan's hand, and then handed the full lunch box to Fangyuan.

She originally planned to keep them all, but when she saw that Fang Shuli and Fang Shuqi's four eyes did not leave the lunch box, she kept the few ones.

"Okay." Fangyuan put the lunch box into her schoolbag again.

Wang Lin only trusts Fangyuan now, because only Fangyuan can put things away. If she leaves them to the second and third oldest, they will probably be gone by the end of the night.

"Eat quickly."

"Yeah!" Fangyuan nodded and sat down to eat.

"Here, eat more." Wang Lin put a piece of meat into Fangyuan's bowl and said.

"Mom, you eat." Fangyuan put the meat into Wang Lin's bowl again.

"Mom doesn't like rabbit meat, so you should eat it."

Wang Lin said that it was okay to coax the child, but how could she possibly coax Fangyuan? He knew that it wasn't that Wang Lin didn't like to eat, but that she was reluctant to eat.

"Mom, if you don't want to eat, I won't eat either." Fangyuan put down the bowl and said.

Seeing Fangyuan like this, Wang Lin smiled bitterly and said quickly: "Okay, okay, mom eats it, and you eat it too."

Fangyuan waited for Wang Lin to put the rabbit meat into his mouth before he moved his chopsticks. However, he did not eat it himself first. Instead, he took a piece for the second sister and third sister, and then picked up a piece to eat.

"Thank you, brother!" the third sister said to Yuan Yuan excitedly, and then started eating.

She had already eaten two pieces just now, and this was the third piece. Of course, no one knew except Fangyuan.

Although the second sister did not thank Yuan Yuan, it was obvious that her attitude toward Yuan Yuan was better.

There wasn't much meat in the lunch box, so Fangyuan only ate two pieces, and Wang Lin also ate two pieces, and Fangyuan picked them up for her, and the second and third children ate the rest.

Fangyuan doesn't care, because he is not short of oil and water in his stomach now, but the two of them are different.

Wang Lin seldom buys meat, and sometimes she even exchanges her meat stamps for food for others. This is of course to save money.

You must know that schooling costs money. If she wants her second, third, and now Fang Yuan to go to school, she must prepare a sum of money.

This is also the reason why she is not even willing to buy groceries. The household expenses are too high.

To be honest, if it weren't for this, the living conditions of this family would still be very good.

Although Wang Lin and Fang Shuhua's salaries are not high, they still make thirty-six yuan per month, which is almost nine yuan per person.

This means that before Fangyuan came, even if Fangyuan came, plus Fangyuan’s monthly subsidy of five yuan, it would only cost about eight yuan per person.

If you save more than ten yuan a month for emergencies, it will be based on the living expenses of five yuan per person. It doesn’t matter how good the food is, but it will definitely be no problem if you can eat every meal.

After finishing the meal, Wang Lin tidied up the dishes and took them to be washed. At this time, the second and third children began to do their homework.

"Son, if you have nothing to do this afternoon, go tell your eldest sister and ask her to buy some radishes when she comes back."

"Mom, let me go buy it! When the eldest sister gets off work, the food station should also be closed."

The eldest sister works in a supply and marketing cooperative, and the vegetable station is still some distance away from the supply and marketing cooperative. Just like Fangyuan said, if she waits for the eldest sister to go shopping after get off work, there is a real possibility that it will close.

"Okay, I'll get you some money and food stamps later."

Although we rarely buy food at home, we still have food stamps. It doesn’t matter whether we eat at this time or not, but we must eat during the New Year.

"Hmm!"

After my mother washed the dishes and wiped her hands, she went in to get money and tickets for Fangyuan.

"Son, here is a dime, and there are ten kilograms of food stamps. You can buy it later! If you can't pick it up, just leave it with your eldest sister and ask your eldest sister to get it back."

"Got it."

Radish is more expensive than cabbage. Although both vegetables have high water content, radish is much stronger than cabbage.

If you use vegetable stamps, radish costs one cent per catty, while cabbage costs one cent for three catties.

Of course, this is talking about the price at the food station, just like you take food stamps to buy noodles at the supply and marketing cooperative. With food stamps, the price is 18.1 pounds.

However, a pound of food stamps sells for 2.5 yuan in Pigeon Market. In this case, the actual price of a pound of noodles is almost 2.7 yuan.

The same goes for vegetables. It's very cheap to buy them at the vegetable station with a ticket, but if you want to buy them at Pigeon Market, the price will be at least several times more expensive.

After getting the money and tickets, Fangyuan ran away. Without Wang Lin's attention, Fangyuan left with a shovel.

After leaving the family home, Fangyuan first went to the vegetable station and bought ten kilograms of radishes. However, he did not use the money and tickets his mother gave him, but used the price coupons and vegetable tickets.

After buying it, Fang Yuan left. Instead of going home, he went to the north of the family's courtyard, where he dug holes to catch rabbits.
