As she spoke, He Yuhan took a basket to the kitchen, took out pork belly, mutton and bones from one basket, and divided the eggs in half from another basket.
Yu Huiru said, "Why did you buy so much stuff?"
He Yuhan said, "I just happened to come across this today, so I bought a lot more."
Yu Huiru knew that meat and eggs were rationed, so her daughter must not have bought them through legitimate channels.
She glanced back at the two children playing and eating candy in the living room and whispered, "I heard they're cracking down on the black market now, so you'd better be careful. It's okay if we eat less, but you can't take the risk."

Yu Huiru said, "Why would I need to drink milk powder?"
