At this moment, people back home have already started eating tree bark again.
The Lu family was fine, as there were several people who went out to work, and each of them had rations, plus the food that Shen Anan left behind before leaving and sent back to them.
The porridge at home has less vegetables and more grains, so I basically didn't suffer much.
The Shen family is not so good because there are too many people in the family.
Even if Shen Weimin brought back half of his own rations, and added the rations that Shen Weihua and Shen Weijun each saved from their own, it would still not be enough to cover the large number of people at home.
The food at home is about the same as when Shen Anan first came here.
"Grandma, why are you looking for me? There is basically no food on the black market in the county now." Shen Weimin replied to Grandma Shen.
He knew what Grandma Shen wanted to do with him, but now the gold was worthless outside, and the key was that it couldn't be used to buy anything, so it would be a pity to sell it.
"I'm not asking you to buy food. The adults' rations can be barely sustained with some wild vegetables. I want you to buy some milk powder for your niece. You are the smartest in our family except for your sister. I believe you can buy it." Grandma Shen said.
The niece she was talking about was Shen Weihua’s newly born daughter. This girl was not born at a good time. Now the adults have nothing to eat, so where would they get milk to feed the child?
The child had been drinking rice porridge for several days, and he still lost his life. As a grandmother, she naturally couldn't watch her child die.
Although she is a little partial, she can clearly see the situation of the children at home.
The eldest and second grandsons are too honest, so they can only do menial jobs.
Only these three grandsons are smart. Now they have become regular employees of the state-owned restaurant on their own and have also become kitchen helpers.
"Okay, I can only give it a try. If it doesn't work, I'll write to my younger sister and see if she can think of a solution." Shen Weimin nodded and said.
As for the next generation of children, he really couldn't bear to see her starve to death.
It’s just milk powder. I’m afraid it’s more expensive now, and I don’t know if it’s available.
I should send a telegram to Shen Anan to ask. It takes too long to write a letter. By the time she receives the letter and finds the things to send back, the child might have starved to death.
At this moment, Shen Anan looked around the supply station and finally asked:
"Hello comrade, can I ask when the meat will come this month?"
"I don't know about that either... Hey~ Are you Doctor Shen?"
The man had no intention of answering, but he was stunned when he saw Shen Anan's face. Then he realized that this man was actually the famous doctor Shen in the military area.
Thinking of Shen Anan's freckle cream, she instantly became enthusiastic:
"Doctor Shen, the meat will probably be here in two days. If you want to sell it, I can save some for you then."
She wanted to find Shen Anan to buy the scar cream, and now she finally waited for him to come back.
Shen Anan frowned, then smiled and asked, "Sister-in-law, do you know me? Who are you, sister-in-law?"
She remembered that this man had a good relationship with the sister-in-law of Deputy Captain Luo.
The person who revealed her information last time almost caused her to quarrel with Liu Xiaofang.
She doesn't think there is anything good in being so attentive to others for no reason.
"I'm He Jiahui. My husband is the battalion commander of the third battalion of the second regiment. You can call me sister-in-law or Sister He. I will help you save weight." He Jiahui replied with a smile.
She is thirty-five years old this year, much older than Shen Anan, so it’s okay to call her sister-in-law or sister.
She was not familiar with this person before, but she remembered her after Liu Xiaofang had a conflict with her last time.
"Sister-in-law, everyone is short of meat. It's not a good idea for you to save meat for me alone, right?" Shen Anan didn't want to accept this person's favor from the bottom of her heart.
After all, this person is a chatterbox and she doesn't like to associate with such people.
"It's okay. I've been working here for quite some time. My sister-in-law, whom I know well, often asks me to save some for her. Doctor Shen, just give me as much meat as you want, and I'll keep it for you." The woman said confidently, patting her chest.
"this......."
Before Shen Anan could speak, a soldier came in carrying half a pig.
"Why is the meat being delivered now? Isn't it going to be delivered in two days?" He Jiahui asked curiously while looking at the meat.
She really wasn't lying. The meat was usually delivered on those two fixed days. It was really unexpected that this person delivered it today.
"This is wild boar meat that the soldiers hunted in the back mountain. The regiment commander knows that everyone hasn't eaten meat for a long time, so he asked someone to bring it over for the sisters-in-law in the family compound to have a taste of meat." The soldier who delivered the meat replied with a smile.
The other half of the meat has been sent to the canteen, so they can eat meat today.
Shen Anan smiled: "It seems that I came at the right time. Can I buy 2 kilograms of meat? I didn't buy any last month."
There was obviously not much meat, so she couldn't just buy four pounds.
"Of course you can buy it, Doctor Shen. Our regiment commander even asked me to send some meat to your house." The person who spoke was not He Jiahui, but the soldier who delivered the meat.
He replied while recording his signature.
"Who is your team leader?" Shen Anan asked curiously.
"Our regiment commander He Ruiping, the one whose hand you healed." The soldier replied to Shen Anan.
Their leader's hands were all healed by Shen Anan, so two pounds of meat was nothing. The leader had asked him to give meat to others for free before.
"Oh? Then thank you for your help. Please cut two pounds for me."
Shen Anan didn't expect that this person was actually someone under her brother-in-law.
"Sister-in-law, you only need to give me one pound of meat coupons. The other pound will be given by the regiment commander."
The soldier cut more than two pounds of meat for Shen Anan and handed it to Shen Anan.
"Thank you, thank your Captain He for me." Shen Anan was not polite and happily took the meat back.
Sure enough, she was just lucky.
As soon as Shen Anan left, the soldier said to He Jiahui: "The regiment commander said that there is not much meat here, and each family is only allowed to buy half a catty. I will stay here until the meat is sold out before leaving."
"......." He Jiahui nodded awkwardly.
This differential treatment is too obvious, but she also knows how powerful Shen Anan is.
After returning home, Shen Anan put the meat into the space first, thought about it, and went to Sister Zhou's house next door.
"Sister Zhou, go to the supply station and buy some meat. The meat just arrived, but there's not much meat left. If you're late, it might run out."
She was planning to cook meat later. When the smell of meat wafted out, wouldn't the kid next door make a fuss at home if his dog nose smelled it?
She didn't forget that this guy wanted to eat meat in the yard when she first came!
