I'm a little greedy.

In fact, given the conditions of his brother's family, they could eat meat several times a week, but this year there was a drought of varying degrees in several surrounding provinces, resulting in a decrease in grain production, a shortage of meat and eggs, and rising prices.

The He family's income was not low, and He Xiaotuan had already started working. After graduation, under the guidance of his elder brother, he worked hard for a long time before he passed the electrician exam and entered a textile factory with the certificate.

Electricians are in short supply, so he didn't have to serve as an apprentice for three years like other workers. After working for a year, he officially became a level 1 electrician last month, earning 33 yuan a month and 2 yuan in overtime allowance.

The combined income of a family is over one hundred, which is definitely not low in that era, but it is not considered too wealthy when distributed equally among each person.

Including her, my eldest brother's family has to support 8 people, and there is also the pension money to be sent back to the village for my parents, the children's tuition, etc. The burden is not small.

He Xiaotuan had just spent some money on his wedding, and his elder brother was thinking of buying a watch to tell time and look impressive when he went out, but he had been planning for several years but it never came to fruition.

My sister-in-law is used to being thrifty and never buys expensive grains and meat. She only cooks a good meal at the beginning and middle of the month.

The original owner had canned meat sent back by her second sister, which ensured that she could have meat once a week. However, as a meat lover, she was even more "spoiled" than the original owner.

Eating whole grains every meal easily reminds her of her own experience of losing weight, which is really torture.

Before she knew it, He Ruixue passed by a state-owned restaurant. She moved her nose and smelled the tempting aroma of food wafting out from inside. She subconsciously swallowed her saliva, but then she realized the helpless reality: she didn't have a ticket.

She rolled her eyes and walked to the restaurant kitchen. She said a few words with a smile, brought out the eggs and a handful of noodles, spent some money on the seasoning, and asked the chef to make her a bowl of egg noodles.

The noodles were topped with chopped green onions and a perfectly poached egg, with a few complimentary vegetables on the side. The soup was delicious, and with a little braised pork sauce, it was fragrant.

She lowered her head and took a sip of the hot soup, which warmed her whole body.
