Chapter 235 Coincidence



Originally, everyone thought he would die, but the doctor assured Tan Dingguo, who brought Dou Fugui, that Dou Fugui would live longer than anyone else.

When Tan Dingguo returned, Xu Changjiu recounted how Fu Hongxing had handled the matter that day.

Besides, County Chief Qian left with Fu Hongxing, Tan Dingguo couldn't help but think about it.

Today, as usual, he squatted down and waited for the person in charge.

Unexpectedly, County Chief Qian rushed back and specifically sought him out. After inquiring about the reason, he immediately instructed the driver to take them to Dongxi Village.

Perhaps it wasn't just a coincidence, but rather that County Magistrate Qian received some news and rushed back specifically for this reason?

"That kid Hongxing has really made something of himself!"

Tan Dingguo sighed.

Then he thought of his youngest son's absent-minded state lately. As his father, how could he not know what he was thinking?

As soon as Xu Changjiu left, he called Xing Lanhua in, and the two whispered for a long time.

The next morning, before going to work, Fu Hongxing spoke to Tiedan.

At noon, he went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some eggs and some flour, and asked Ning Jing and Xiu Hua to make some steamed buns.

Otherwise, I'll have to eat corn porridge and sweet potato porridge every day. How can I stand eating these all the time?

Actually, the food that Ning Jing's family eats has improved a lot during this period.

Compared to other families, even the men in their prime ate nothing more than coarse grain buns mixed with bran, which not only stung their tongues but also made their throats ache.

Some families don't even consume an ounce of oil in a month.

This situation leads to constipation in many households.

As for Ning Jing's family, although they ate corn porridge and sweet potato porridge, at least the wild vegetables they dug up were stir-fried with the lard they had rendered before.

It tastes delicious and is perfect with corn porridge or sweet potato porridge.

When Fu Hongxing got off work, he was surprised to find that he was not only carrying a large bag in his hand, but also carrying another bag on his back.

Ning Jing stepped forward to help Fu Hongxing put down the bag on his back. When she opened the bag, she found that it contained several large pieces of meat.

It's real meat, rib meat, not that kind of scraps and pig offal.

"Where did it come from?"

Ning Jing asked with surprise, looking at the meat, while the recipes for several dishes she wanted to make flashed through her mind.

“A batch of meat was delivered to the meat processing plant these past few days, and I directly exchanged some money for meat coupons.”

Ning Jing never expected that the benefits at the coal mine would be so good. Elsewhere, it was difficult to even get enough coarse grains to fill one's stomach, yet they were able to get so much meat from the meat processing plant.

Actually, Ning Jing was overthinking it. Although the benefits of working in a coal mine were good, there were limitations.

Everyone wants to eat well, but the meat coupons issued are basically used to buy the cuts that are all fat.

As for this kind of rib meat, it's basically only those spendthrift women who don't know how to manage their money who would buy it to eat.

This time, Fu Hongxing asked everyone to exchange meat coupons, and all the meat he bought was rib meat. The people in the coal mine thought that he was a grown man who didn't know anything about meat and that's why he did this.

The women all shook their heads, saying that Fu Hongxing really didn't know how to manage a household.

Ning Jing picked out a piece, weighed it in her hand, and realized that this piece could make at least three meals.

"I'll make braised pork ribs tonight for you to try. As for the rest, I'll just marinate them with salt and then hang them up."

Fu Hongxing used money to exchange for meat coupons, so he probably used up all the meat coupons he had for the year.

It will be even more difficult to eat meat in the future.
