This is not an exaggeration.
There is little meat in the grocery store, and there are so many people buying meat. If you go too late, you basically can't buy any meat.
There weren't many meat coupons at home at the moment, so Lu Heng only bought two kilograms of meat.
——Although there are three people in their family who receive allowances now, and each person receives a considerable amount, there are five children and five adults in the family, two of whom are young and strong men, and three are teenagers who are still growing up.
There are some little boys who eat their parents out of money. In order to make sure they get enough nutrition, we often have to eat meat at home.
䀴These two kilograms of meat coupons are the last ration for the family this month.
But in order to celebrate his wife's college entrance examination and not to spoil the children's fun, Lu Heng used up all the meat coupons in one go.
"Although we used to live in a remote fishing village, we have to say that our lives there were better than they are now."
Looking at the two pounds of meat in front of her, Qiao Qingqing said with some sadness.
Lu Heng didn't know how to comfort her. After all, once they entered the city, they wouldn't be able to raise poultry or grow vegetables, let alone go fishing.
In the end, Lu Heng could only say: "I will continue to work hard and strive to get more stickers."
Qiao Qingqing shook her head when she heard this.
"It's useless. The allowance is fixed. The three of you combined can barely cover our family's expenses now, but as the children grow older, I'm afraid it will become increasingly stretched."
After hearing this, Lu Heng roughly guessed what she wanted to do.
After a moment of silence, Lu Heng reminded her: "Although some people are proposing to liberalize the individual economy, the policy has not yet been implemented. If you want to go black, you might as well wait and see how the situation will change later."
"I know. If it doesn't work, I can take the children to live in a fishing village. At least they can have enough food to eat there."
Qiao Qingqing didn't sound like a joke, so Lu Heng suddenly felt panicked.
"No, Qingqing, if you insist on leaving, then I will apply for a transfer."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was beaten up by his wife.
"You are stupid! It's not easy to get here, why do you want to ruin your future?"
Facing his wife's angry eyes, Lu Heng said firmly: "Grandpa and mom and dad have already left their old days. I can rest assured now. From now on, I will be wherever you and the children are. I don't need to worry about them anymore."
Qiao Qingqing: “…”
Fortunately, she knew that the country would start reform and opening up in a year, and the situation would become more and more difficult. Otherwise, she would have to struggle for a while.
While the couple were whispering in the room, the children had finished their breakfast and cleaned up, and they knocked on the door and called them.
The two of them packed up and went out, taking the children to the house in Maoer Hutong.
Lu Heng had a day off and didn't want to be disturbed by anyone, so he refused the attendant's request to follow him. He and his wife each rode a bicycle. His wife took care of the two children and he took care of the three children. The family of seven arrived home in an orderly manner.
In fact, this house is not that dirty. After all, the relatives of the previous owner have been living here for many years.
Moreover, after buying the house, Lu Heng and his parents came to clean the house once, and even specially replaced the old furniture in the room with new ones.
Only the various kitchen supplies need to be replaced.
The two of them came the next day and brought pots, pans, and utensils with them.
Just sweep the yard and you can set up the grill and get ready for the barbecue.
