City dwellers have meat coupons, which they can use to buy meat. Rural residents don't have meat coupons, so they can only wait until the end of the year when someone raises an extra pig and slaughters it to buy some.
Their family received a small amount of meat ration coupons because Song Darong was in the army.
City dwellers are also subject to quotas when buying meat; they can't just buy it as they please.
Everyone prefers to buy fatty meat and dislikes lean meat.
So at this moment, there are only a few pieces of leg meat left on the cutting board.
After hesitating for a while, Fang Jie handed over two meat coupons and asked for a pound of leg meat.
After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, Fang Jie took out two red hair ties and tied two braids for Song Fanxing.
With her hair tied up, Song Fanxing's fair and delicate oval face was revealed, making her look extremely beautiful.
Fang Jie exclaimed, "My Xingxing is so adorable!"
Song Fanxing felt a sweet warmth in her heart; it felt so good to be pampered.
The two women took a car to town and just caught the village's oxcart going back. They quickly climbed onto the cart.
Two village women were also there.
Upon seeing Song Fanxing with her hair in braids, he showered her with compliments.
Song Fanxing sweetly replied with a thank you.
The two village women were extremely envious when they saw the meat in Fang Jie's hand.
"Song family's eldest daughter-in-law, you are so lucky to have married into a military family. You can eat meat regularly, unlike us who can't even eat meat twice a year."
In this day and age, being able to eat your fill and have meat is better than anything else.
Fang Jie smiled and didn't say anything. At this moment, anything she said would just be showing off, so it was better to say nothing.
When Fang Min got home, she saw the meat in Fang Jie's hand and her eyes lit up.
I couldn't wait to go up and take a bite.
The Song brothers, Yaohui and Yaohua, also stared intently at the piece of meat, their eyes never blinking.
Ye Fangxuan even drooled.
Song Fanxing looked away in disgust.
For dinner, Song Yaohui cooked corn porridge, while Fang Jie cooked braised pork with green beans and a few small potatoes.
Song Fanxing thought the potatoes were too small, so she made a mental movement, and suddenly two large potatoes appeared in Fang Jie's basin, each weighing more than a pound.
She covered her mouth in surprise, quickly looked around to make sure Fang Min and Ye Fangxuan hadn't seen anything, and then started peeling and cutting the large potato into chunks.
There was only one-fifth of meat in the dish, with more vegetables than meat, but the aroma of the meat still wafted everywhere, making everyone in the room drool.
Fang Jie also made a cucumber salad before serving the meal.
Everyone ate dinner with great relish; it was a whirlwind meal.
Fang Jie was worried that her precious daughter would lose out to others, so she served her a large bowl of food in advance and placed it in front of her.
Song Fanxing ate her fill.
After dinner, Song Yaohui took on the task of washing the dishes.
Song Fanxing pulled Fang Jie outside.
"Mom, can I have a hen?"
Fang Jie asked, puzzled, "What do you need a hen for?"
"To hatch chicks."
"You'll need eggs, and they'll have to be fertilized eggs. Our eggs are in high demand every day; they're eaten as soon as they're laid. What are you going to use to hatch chicks?"
"Mom, then give me both the rooster and the hen."
Fang Jie pursed her lips, but finally asked the question.
"Star, what exactly is that magical thing called your space?"
Song Fanxing scratched her head, wondering how to explain it to her.
"Mom, I don't know how to describe it to you, but it's like a house where you can put things, grow plants, and raise animals."
"Mom, I have to confess something to you. All the food we have at home was grown by me in my space, not given to us by the fairy uncle."
Fang Jie suddenly realized, and after her initial shock, asked, "Then where did you get this space from?"
"I got it when I fell into the water last time. Mom, please don't tell anyone."
Fang Jie nodded; of course she knew she couldn't say.
She didn't want her daughter's good things to be taken away by others.
Song Fanxing has finally been honest with Fang Jie.
Fang Jie asked, "Xingxing, is it hard for you to farm in that space? Do you want Mommy to come and help you?"
Song Fanxing laughed, "Mom, it's not hard work at all. I just throw the seeds in and they grow on their own. I don't need to turn the soil, fertilize, or weed. It's so worry-free."
At most, I'll just water it.
Fang Jie murmured, "Is it that easy?"
Thinking about how farming in the village requires the entire village to mobilize and work for several months until the autumn harvest.
Song Fanxing had actually tried to bring Fang Jie into her space while she was asleep, but she failed.
No one else can enter the Spirit Spring Space except for herself.
I don't know if it's allowed to bring live animals like chickens inside.
Finally, Fang Jie agreed to give her a hen and a rooster.
Surprisingly, it's actually possible to bring living things other than humans into the space.
Song Fanxing was extremely excited, unable to imagine what it would be like if her spiritual spring space were turned into a chicken farm.
Raising chickens was also very casual; they simply threw them into the peach orchard.
The two chickens ran wildly in the peach grove, pecking and pecking at the ground, unable to eat them all.
That evening, Fang Jie went to the brigade leader and paid the tuition fees for the two children.
Song Guoqiang was somewhat surprised.
"Didn't you say you were broke?"
He knew it couldn't possibly be Song Darong sending the money back.
He had just sent the letter to Song Darong; it was impossible for him to reply so quickly.
Fang Jie stammered and couldn't give a clear answer, but Song Guoqiang probably guessed what it was.
He knew that the villagers would buy mountain produce and vegetables to sell on the black market.
They're all from the same village, and they've both had a tough time these past few years, so he's turned a blind eye to it.
Song Guoqiang collected the registration fee and completed the registration.
The next day was the first day of school.
After breakfast, Song Yaohui took Song Fanxing's hand and went to school with Song Yaohua.
