You have to know that this year, except for food which was still in normal supply, other daily necessities were in short supply.
However, these have little to do with Lin Tian, as there is a special department in the unit that is responsible for such matters.
It was never Lin Tian's turn to attend meetings. The only time he went was when a general meeting was held, and he was just there to watch the fun.
The New Year is coming soon, and Lin Tian originally took advantage of his work to prepare New Year's goods for his family and his master.
After thinking about it, I decided to ask Li Wenhua to help prepare some seasonings, and I could just use the space for the rest.
Just now, Lin Tian had just returned to the compound after delivering some food and drinks to his master’s house.
I saw Yan Fugui standing there with a red face, and I didn't know what he was saying.
"Uncle, you just finished dinner." Lin Tian asked with a smile.
"Oh, no. Lili got some lard and refined some oil residue." Yan Fugui said proudly.
"Oh. This thing is not easy to make." Lin Tian said in surprise.
"Of course not. Lili insisted that our family was not well-off. She said that she would give Jiecheng some good nourishment during the New Year, saying that Jiecheng was too thin." Yan Fugui's words were full of boasting.
The Yan family has been living a good life since Xu Li came, but other people in the compound are cursing them.
This year, let alone rare items like lard, even meat is only available if you queue up two days before the New Year, and there is no stock even if you go in advance.
This little kid was wandering around in the yard, and when he smelled the fragrance from Yan's house, he came home and started making a fuss.
"I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat!!!" Banggeng lay down and started rolling around.
"Eat meat, eat meat. Look, whose family is eating meat?" Jia Zhang asked while hugging Bang Geng.
"It's at the uncle's house in the front yard. I just heard him talking about lard or something." Bang Geng said.
"Damn it, this stingy old man Yan actually spent money to buy lard this year." Jia Zhang was holding the stick and cursing.
"Need I say more? It must have been done by Xu Li. How can you lack food when you have a salesperson at home?" Jia Dongxu said.
At this time, Jia Dongxu was a little envious of Yan Jiecheng. Although Xu Li was a little ugly, with someone like her, he would never lack food.
Looking back at Qin Huairu, she is only better at night than Xu Li.
Xu Li looked to have weighed more than 160 or 170 kilograms.
"Go buy some meat for Banggeng tomorrow. It's been a long time since our family bought meat." Jia Zhang said.
Recently, all the meat coupons and other things in the family have been sold in exchange for grain coupons. I haven’t eaten meat for a long time.
"Okay, I'll buy less for Banggeng tomorrow." Jia Dongxu agreed.
However, at this time, Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu thought of someone at the same time, and they muttered and cursed together: Shazhu, this bastard is really useless. If he had just brought his lunch box honestly, life at home would be much better.
"We still have more than half a pound of meat at home, so buy all the tickets." Jia Zhang said as she wiped the saliva from her face.
Jia Dongxu looked at Jia Zhang's expression and nodded.
He had no way to deal with Jia Zhang. It was hard to say how many bites of the meat he could eat after buying it. Jia Zhang picked up her chopsticks very quickly, and no one could grab the food from her.
To be honest, the Yan family is having a good time this year, while the Jia family is having a hard time.
It’s hard to say about Xu Damao’s family.
A few days ago, when Xu Damao came back from the countryside, he bought some mountain products and a piece of bacon made by someone else.
Xu Damao found a way to get some things together from outside and thought of visiting his father-in-law's house before the New Year.
The result is...
"Da Mao is here." Father Lou said calmly, as if he was talking to a stranger, his tone was quite calm.
"It's not the New Year, I came to see you." Xu Damao said a little nervously. After all, Lou Bancheng put a lot of pressure on him.
"Just take a look and go, take the things back." said Father Lou.
"Oh." Xu Damao hummed softly after hearing what Lou's father said.
After that, Father Lou stopped talking. Xu Damao felt very awkward staying here, so he simply said goodbye.
As soon as Xu Damao arrived at the door of the Lou family villa, he heard the Lou family's nanny chasing him out and stuffing the things he brought into Xu Damao's hands, saying, "Mr. Lou said he doesn't accept these things."
Xu Damao's face turned red at that moment. He took the thing and wanted to say something, but then gave up. He didn't have the courage to confront Lou Bancheng about this matter.
"The threshold of your house is really high. I won't go there anymore in the future." Lin Tian heard Xu Damao shouting at home.
"What's the point of getting angry at me? It's not my fault. It's your fault." Lou Xiao'e never waits to be scolded.
"Yes, yes, yes, I can't do it, I can't do it." Xu Damao shouted.
Lin Tian could hear other implications in these words, and soon Xu Damao's family calmed down. Later, Lin Tian discovered that Xu Damao and his wife had been in a cold war.
Speaking of Liu Haizhong's family, Liu Haizhong's salary is not low, so it is more than enough to satisfy the family's food and drink. Liu Haizhong also went out to buy some things.
How did Lin Tian know? When Liu Haizhong came back from jumping over the wall, the sound was so loud that he opened the window and took a look. He found that it was Liu Haizhong who came back from jumping over the wall next to his house in the middle of the night.
However, when I went to work the next day, I found out that Liu Haizhong had actually sent some things to Liu Guangqi. It seemed that he had prepared them last night.
As for Sha Zhu's family, their living standard has declined since Sha Zhu lost his lunch box, so He Yushui complains about this all the time, and the two brothers now quarrel frequently.
Yi Zhonghai's family had always lived a simple life and had a simple diet. Although Yi Zhonghai's salary was not low, he saved it for emergencies, so he didn't spend much on weekdays.
In previous years, the street office would visit the lonely elderly, but this year, as supplies were so tight, they simply came to check on the deaf old lady without any preparation.
"Grandma, they just came here empty-handed?" Sha Zhu stood up for the deaf old lady.
"Well, it's good that you can come and take a look." The deaf old lady said with a smile. Although she didn't say it, she was still a little dissatisfied in her heart.
"Old lady, how about we celebrate the New Year together this year?" Yi Zhonghai invited.
"Yes, grandma, let's celebrate the New Year together then." Sha Zhu also invited.
"Okay, then I'll listen to you two." The deaf old lady saw that the sons and grandsons she had chosen were all pretty good. At least they knew to invite her to celebrate the New Year together and knew to be filial to her. She was content.
After seeing off Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu.
The deaf old lady sat in the house and saw that there was no delicious food left at home, so she started cursing at home because she had been looking forward to the New Year for a long time.
In previous years, the streets would always send some delicious food, but this year everything is in short supply, so there is no supplies at all to comfort the people this year.
