Since he can't go home at this time, Fangyuan has to go to the vegetable cellar to stay. There is no other way, he can't stay outside!

At least it is warm in the vegetable cellar, and you can still get some food for lunch. The most important thing is that he is a child wandering outside in the ice and snow, which can easily attract others' attention.

Fangyuan did not walk from the street, but walked around from the north side of the street to the vegetable cellar. After checking that there was no one around, Fangyuan opened the vegetable cellar and went in.

When he came to the vegetable cellar, Fangyuan first took out the lantern, lit it, and then hung it in the same place as before.

He took out the quilt from the space and placed it on the reed flowers. It was still a long time before dark, so he was going to eat something and take a nap before talking.

There are people cooking all over the place. Unfortunately, when he went to do it, he discovered that there was no firewood because he had used the firewood to make charcoal last time.

It was a bit late to go out to collect firewood at this time. Fangyuan shook his head and took out a bag of peach cakes from the space.

He planned to take a bite at noon and then have a good meal when he gets home in the evening. Of course, he might also have a meal of fried pork with bamboo shoots first.

But I can’t care about that much now, so I’d better eat something and take a rest.

After finishing a pack of peach cakes, the water in the kettle had frozen, but it had melted a little after entering the vegetable cellar. Fangyuan took a few sips.

"It's so cold." After finishing the drink, Fangyuan said with a shiver.

What he said is all nonsense, don’t say it’s winter now! Even drinking ice water in summer is cold!

Putting the kettle on the ground, Fangyuan spread out the quilt, lay down directly on it, covered himself with half of it, and soon fell asleep.

Fangyuan didn't know how long he slept, but he thought it wasn't because he felt like he just slept for a while.

Of course, this is just his feeling, because he doesn't know the time, and he should know it after he comes out of the vegetable cellar.

In fact, Fangyuan wanted to buy a watch when he was in the city, but the price prevented him from buying it. A watch cost more than a hundred, and a cheap one cost thirty or forty.

Forget it if it’s just money, but you actually need industrial coupons. Fangyuan does have industrial coupons in his hand, but they are not many, and the industrial coupons in his hand have other uses, so after thinking about it, Fangyuan still didn’t buy it.<

/p>

First put away the quilt, then hang the water bottle on the body, and finally put away the lantern, this thing is a good thing!

When Fangyuan came out of the vegetable cellar, she was immediately dumbfounded, because it was completely dark, and the darkness was at least eight or nine o'clock.

Fangyuan didn't expect that he slept for such a long time. In fact, this was normal. The main reason was that he was too tired, not only from walking so much today, but also from being in the city for this period of time.

During this period of time in the city, not only did I have to run around every day, but I also had to worry about it every day. Now that I have returned to Qinghe, I am back home.

The whole person relaxed, so it was normal for him to have slept. I guess it would be the same for everyone.

This is fine. Originally, Fangyuan was worried about being seen when she returned home early. There will definitely be no one outside at this time.

Except for those who are still working in the factory, they have probably fallen asleep. There is no entertainment in this era, and they basically rest as soon as it gets dark.

The only entertainment is probably between husband and wife, which is why every family has so many children.

Since it was already so late, Fangyuan of course hurried home and walked all the way to the door. Fangyuan looked around and saw no one was around, then started to get things out.

The first thing is white flour and rice. Twenty kilograms of white flour and ten kilograms of rice are tied together in a square circle and hung on the right shoulder.

After thinking about it, Fangyuan took out a few packets of peach cakes and some White Rabbit toffee and put them into his schoolbag. Of course, there were also books and materials, as well as a small number of comics.

After finishing these, Fangyuan took out a small bottle of sesame oil, which was about half a catty, and then took out a large bottle of peanut oil, which was one catty.

In addition to these, Fangyuan also took out a piece of pork, weighing three kilograms, wrapped in oil paper, and held it in his arms.

After doing all this, Fangyuan knocked on the door gently. He originally thought that his mother and sister had fallen asleep, but just when he knocked a few times, the door suddenly opened from the inside.

My mother was standing at the door wearing a cotton coat. When she saw Fangyuan, her eyes immediately became wet. She pulled Fangyuan in and held her in her arms.

With this pull, Fang Yuan almost fell over. Don't forget that he was carrying a lot of things on his back.

But at this moment, Fangyuan felt particularly cozy and warm, because he knew that someone had been caring about him while he was outside.

At this point, he just knocked on the door a few times, and the door opened. What does this mean? This means that my mother is not asleep yet. If you think about it, you will know why.

At this time, the eldest sister, the second sister and the third sister also came out of the house. The eldest sister quickly came over and closed the door.

Maybe she saw some sisters coming out! Then my mother let go of Fangyuan, pinched Fangyuan's ears and said, "You brat, you still know how to come back!"

"Mom, it hurts!" Fangyuan pretended to shout.

When Fangyuan said it hurt, my mother immediately loosened her hand a little, but not completely, and said, "You still know it hurts? I thought you didn't know!"

The eldest sister felt sorry for Fangyuan. Seeing that Fangyuan's ears were still in her mother's hand, she quickly came up to protect Fangyuan and said, "Mom, it's already so late. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

The second sister had sharp eyes and came over and asked: "Brother, what are you carrying?"

It's not that my mother and eldest sister didn't see it, it's just that they focused all their attention on Fang Yuan, so they could still notice these things.

Mom had already let go of Fangyuan's ears at this time. When Fangyuan heard that the second sister was so late, she quickly walked to the Eight Immortals' table and put everything on the Eight Immortals' table.

The third sister quickly came over to open it. When she saw rice in the bag, she shouted in surprise: "Big... rice."

"Shh!" Fangyuan went over and covered the third sister's mouth and whispered: "Sister, can you keep your voice down?"

At this time, the second sister also opened another bag and saw the contents inside, and said in surprise: "White noodles..."

As soon as she said these two words, she covered her mouth. You know, this is all fine food!

Including the square meter, their family's monthly ration is only ten kilograms of fine grains. For five people, ten kilograms of fine grains a month is enough. You can imagine what will happen.

Fortunately, Fangyuan has an additional five kilograms of white flour subsidy every month, but even so, it is only fifteen kilograms a month, and the average is three kilograms per person.

Three pounds of white flour and steamed buns are probably only enough for one person to eat for three days. What about the remaining twenty days?

Therefore, it is impossible to use white flour to steam steamed buns. At most, you can add a little bit when cooking, such as making steamed buns.

Another thing is to use a little white flour when making porridge.

Now this bag is actually full of white flour, weighing at least twenty kilograms, which is more than their family’s monthly ration.

And this is just white flour, there is rice in the other bag, which is also good! I usually go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy grain with my grain book, but I am reluctant to buy it.

There is no way, using rice to make rice is too luxurious. If you don't make rice, you can only make some rice porridge, but this is not as economical as white flour.

In this era, everyone is a master of living and knows how to budget carefully, especially in this family.

"What is this?" The third sister noticed the oil paper bag on the table. She probably thought it was a delicious snack! She quickly opened it.

"Ah! Meat!" The third sister shouted in surprise, but due to previous experience, she shouted very quietly this time.

But even so, the expressions of my mother and eldest sister changed. Such a large piece of meat is at least equivalent to their family's two-month ration.

They are not because of how much meat there is, but because of where the meat comes from. This is not rabbit meat, but pork.

But they didn't say anything. Of course, they didn't say anything for the time being, because this was not the time to talk about this.

"Sister, this is for you." Fangyuan took out a bag of peach cakes and handed it to the third sister.

Seeing the familiar red paper, the third sister's eyes lit up and she said, "Thank you, brother."

"Second sister, this is yours." Fangyuan handed another packet to the second sister.

"Thank you, brother."

Then came the eldest sister, and even my mother had a bag. After dividing the peach cakes, Fangyuan took out a few handfuls of White Rabbit toffee from her schoolbag and placed them on the Eight Immortals table.

Then there are sesame oil and peanut oil. Basically, every time Fangyuan takes out the same ones, my mother’s eyes jump, and so does the elder sister’s.

Only the second sister and the third sister were heartlessly happy, even a little excited. You know, these are all good things!

When Fangyuan stopped taking anything out, her mother came over and pulled Fangyuan and asked: "Son, tell the truth to mom, where did you get these things?"

"Mom, I bought these, don't worry!"

Hearing what Fangyuan said, Wang Lin was stunned for a moment and asked: "Did you buy it? How did you buy it?"

You must know that buying these things not only requires money, but also tickets. Wang Lin knows that Fangyuan has money, but where does the ticket come from?

"Mom, it's like this. Didn't I have some candy tickets in my hand before?"

"Yeah! I know this. My brother bought it from a little girl in exchange for skewers and grilled rabbit steak." The third sister nodded quickly and said.

"That's right! I know this too." The second sister also nodded.

After listening to what the two sisters said, my mother looked at Fangyuan, pointed at the things on the Eight Immortals table and said, "Even if you have candy coupons in your hand, you can't buy these with candy coupons."

"Of course I can't buy them. I bought these with candy and tickets exchanged by others."

"Candy in exchange for tickets?" Wang Lin looked at Fangyuan in surprise.

"It's like this, Mom, I..." Fangyuan told a little bit about what he did in the city. Of course, what he said was very simple, and he only said a very small part.

Although Fangyuan said it was simple, Wang Lin knew that this matter would not be that easy.
