After putting away the information, Fangyuan came out of the room.
"Go wash your hands and eat quickly." Seeing Fangyuan come out, Li Yanran handed him the towel and said.
"Um!"
It's not very cold yet, so I usually brush my teeth and wash my face at the pool in the yard.
Fangyuan took the towel, came to the yard, turned on the faucet and started washing.
After washing and wiping, Fangyuan returned to the room with the towel, and Li Yanran quickly took it and hung it up.
Just then the third sister came in with food. Because there were few people, there were few dishes prepared. Of course, the dish was only for one dish.
It’s not that there were really few dishes. There were four dishes for lunch, two meat and two vegetarian. Even in later generations, this was considered pretty good.
The staple food is rice. I guess the third sister thought it was troublesome to make steamed buns, so she steamed the rice, but this didn't matter to Fangyuan.
It's the same as rice and steamed buns.
"Here are the bowls." The little girl came in with a few bowls and a few pairs of chopsticks.
As for the little fat man, he took a small basin by himself, yes! It was that yellow enamel basin.
Of course, this kind of basin cannot be compared with that big basin, but it is not small either. This basin can hold at least three blue-rimmed bowls.
This kid seems to be afraid of not having enough to eat. Yes, he uses this basin to eat rice. This basin has almost become his exclusive use.
It doesn't matter to Fangyuan, even if you give him a small bowl, it doesn't matter, and there is no rule that you can't put more in it after eating.
Why do you need to get such a big basin to eat? But there is an advantage to using a basin! Just pour some chicken soup into it and stir it, which will make it more delicious.
"Fat man, serve it yourself." The little girl said after filling four bowls.
"Yeah! I'll do it myself."
Just watch this guy pick up the porcelain basin and pour a third of it into his enamel basin.
Then he picked up the porcelain pot of stewed chicken on the Eight Immortals table, poured some soup into it, and then sat down and stirred it with chopsticks.
Seeing him eating like this, the third sister shook her head and said, "Fat man, no wonder you don't go home for dinner. I guess the food cooked by your family is not enough for you to eat alone."
Third sister, this is not a joke, but she is telling the truth. You must know that now is also a time when you don’t have enough to eat.
Because of the rations, no one can have enough to eat. You must know that according to the rations in the grain book, no one only has five kilograms of fine grains, ten kilograms of miscellaneous grains, and fifteen kilograms of coarse grains per month.
In other words, including whole grains, no one had more than one kilogram of grain per day. Although this was much better than during the three difficult years, it was still not enough to eat.
Calculated based on one catty of grain per person per day, the average meal is a little over three taels. For the little fat man’s family of five, one meal can make more than one catty of grain.
Even if this pound of grain is rice, it is not enough for the little fat man's enamel basin, so he not only eats their family's rations for one meal, but probably their family's rations for a day.
If this kid is allowed to go home and have a few meals, it is estimated that their family will be in food shortage within a month.
"Hey hey hey!" The little fat man scratched his head and giggled a few times.
Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that his family does not have so many delicious food. If there were not so many delicious food, he would probably eat more staple food.
Besides, this kid is already used to eating, so it is basically impossible for him to go home and eat.
It's okay if Fangyuan's family doesn't have these delicious foods, but as long as they do, this kid won't leave.
After finishing the meal, Fangyuan sat down and drank a few cups of tea, and then went back to the room because he wanted to read through the information as soon as possible.
Until my mother came back from get off work in the afternoon, there was still about a fifth left to finish, which made Fangyuan feel dizzy.
Fangyuan put away the information and came out of the room.
"Mom, it's time to get off work." Fangyuan walked to her mother, hugged her shoulders and said.
"Well! You brat, what did you do last night?"
Mom nodded first, then tapped Fangyuan on the head and asked.
"I didn't do anything! I just went to the city."
"Going to the city? Then why go there in the middle of the night?"
If it were in the past, Fangyuan would definitely not go into the city in the middle of the night because he was young at that time, but it is different now.
Although he is still young now, he is taller and stronger than an adult, not to mention capable of fighting.
With Fangyuan's current physical condition, several adults are no match for him.
"That's it, Mom. Yanran wants to go home and have a look. I went to the city yesterday to explore."
"So that's it! Why did you go there in the middle of the night?" Mom glanced at Li Yanran, turned her head and said playfully to Yuan Yuan.
Yes! She didn't blame Fangyuan, but supported him very much. Of course, as to why she supported him so much, I guess only she knew.
"By the way, son, how are you? Have you met Yanran's parents?" Wang Lin asked.
"Yes! I see you." Fang Yuan nodded.
"How are they?"
Fangyuan thought for a moment and said, "It looks pretty good, but I went there at night and couldn't see anything. There shouldn't be any problem."
"That's good. In this way, when you have nothing to do, you can go over and take a look."
"I know."
"Okay, I'm going to cook."
Just when mom was about to go out, Fangyuan quickly pulled her and said, "By the way, mom, we have to go to the city tonight."
"Still going to the city?"
"Yeah!" Fang Yuan nodded and said, "That's it, I'm going to take Yanran back."
Hearing what Fangyuan said, my mother frowned and asked, "Is it dangerous?"
"It should be fine. After all, I've already been there once."
Mom thought for a while, looked at Li Yanran again and said, "Okay! But remember, pay attention to safety."
"knew."
Around ten o'clock that night, Fangyuan and the others set off, just him, Li Yanran and the little fat man.
Originally, the third sister and the little girl also wanted to go, but Fangyuan did not agree. This was not to go to the city to play, but to do business.
There were still a lot of red armbands at the city gate, even more than when he came back in the morning.
However, these red armbands did not stop them from conducting inspections. This was normal. If something was lost in the city, the inspection would also be to find vehicles leaving the city.
Besides, since this is a jeep, he won't check it even if he goes out of town, because this jeep can't pull much at all.
If a truck is leaving the city, it probably won't work. It will definitely be stopped and checked, and it will only be allowed to leave if there is nothing in the truck.
After entering the city, Fangyuan did not go directly to Li Yanran's house because Fangyuan wanted to be more secure and planned to wait until midnight before going.
In this case, we can only go to Master's house first.
Fangyuan drove the jeep to the road near Master's house and stopped, and the three of them walked over.
The master was already asleep at this point. Fangyuan went up and pushed the door, and it turned out that it was not locked.
"Come in!" Fangyuan opened the door and said.
"Boss, why did we come to Master?"
The little fat man was not familiar with the city, especially at night, and his eyesight was completely blank.
But there is one place he is familiar with! That is Master's place. He has stayed here for a long time.
"It's too early to go at this time. Let's come over first and take a rest before going back in the middle of the night."
"Oh! That's it!" The little fat man scratched his head.
As soon as Fangyuan entered the room, Master also came out of the room.
"Master, are you still awake?" Fangyuan asked quickly.
"I fell asleep and got up again when I heard you open the door."
Master is getting older and sleeps less. He probably didn't fall asleep at all just now. When he heard Fangyuan and the others coming, he got up from the bed again.
"Master!"
"Master!"
Li Yanran and Little Fatty also shouted out quickly. Although Li Yanran and Little Fatty were not Master's real disciples, they also learned a lot from Master.
"The fat man is here too?"
"Yes, Master."
"Yes!" Master nodded and said, "Sit down! Do you have food? I'll make something for you."
"No need, Master, we came here after dinner and we are not hungry at all, otherwise you should go in and rest!" Fang Yuan said.
"It's okay, I can't sleep anyway, so I just want to chat with you."
It seems that Master not only heard them coming in, but also heard their conversation and knew that they had not gone to Li Yanran's house yet.
"All right!"
"I'm going to make tea." Li Yanran said.
When Li Yanran went to make tea, Fangyuan said: "Master, I plan to live in the city for a while."
"Stay for a while?" Master frowned and asked, "Why are you living in the city at this time?"
"I am busy."
Seeing that Fangyuan didn't want to say anything, Master didn't ask again and said, "You can live here if you want! But please pay attention to safety."
"Ok, I know."
"Master, please drink tea." Li Yanran placed a cup of tea in front of Master.
"good."
For the next hour or so, Fangyuan and the three of them chatted with Master.
It wasn't until around one o'clock that Fangyuan stood up and said, "It's almost time, let's get started!"
"Okay, you go ahead! Close the door when you leave."
"I understand, Master."
The three people came outside and got into the jeep. Fangyuan started the jeep and drove directly to Li Yanran's house.
It was still the same place where Fangyuan parked his car before. Fangyuan parked the car and said to the little fat man: "You just watch the car here while the two of us go over."
"Okay boss." The little fat man nodded.
"By the way, if someone asks you, just be tougher. If it doesn't work, just deal with it."
"Ah! Boss, are you kidding?" the little fat man looked at Fang Yuan and asked.
"Do you think I'm joking?"
"Uh!" The little fat man was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "I understand, boss."
Fangyuan has no choice. At this time, you cannot be soft. The tougher the better, otherwise people will not dare to do anything to you.
Before coming out of Master's house, Fangyuan and the three of them had changed their clothes, all wearing red armbands.
It will be more convenient to go out at night.
"Of course, it's possible that no one will come and ask. Anyway, just stay here and we will come back as soon as possible."
"I know, boss."
After explaining to the little fat man, Fangyuan took Li Yanran and left. The two of them were not empty-handed, but carried large and small bags.
