Chapter 314: Purchasing Eggs 2

Feng Qingxue and Guan Cheng arrived at the kitchen. Lu Tianjun had already boiled the wild boar meat until it was soft and took it out and left it to dry. He would cut it and stir-fry it at noon.

"We bought a lot of eggs today, Tianjun, go to the cellar and cut some garlic sprouts, and we'll fry some eggs for lunch." After Lu Tianjun left, Feng Qingxue said to Guan Cheng, "Send some to your aunt in a couple of days."

Guan Cheng nodded, "It won't take two days. I will go with Tian Jun tomorrow while the snow is not muddy."

Once the snow melts, the road will become difficult to walk on!

Feng Qingxue thought about it and agreed.

Guan Cheng and Aunt Xu's recognition of their relationship was not hidden from Lu Tianjun. Lu Tianjun came back from cutting chives and nodded, "Let's go. It's snowing heavily, and I'm going crazy staying at home every day."

Fearing that the two children would be tired, Feng Qingxue prepared some dried vegetables, pickles, and dried radishes for Aunt Xu, but no cabbage or radishes.

Lu Tianjun and Guan Cheng went to Aunt Xu's house and repeated it to her. Aunt Xu hurriedly said, "My child, sit down and drink some hot water. We have cabbage and radishes at home. We have winter storage cabbage. We lined up to buy hundreds of them. They cost one cent per pound."

As she spoke, she busied herself preparing lunch.

Uncle Xu helped to pick vegetables, "Don't mistreat the two children. They came all the way to deliver food to you."

"I know! Scramble an egg and cut up the bacon Xiaoxue gave me last time." Aunt Xu rolled her eyes at him and sighed, "If it weren't for Xiaoxue's help, we would be starving and eating snow right now!"

Lu Tianjun was stunned for a moment, "The public grain has been paid, and you are eating commercial grain. Isn't life difficult for you?"

He went to school in the city. Based on his daily observations, the living standards of urban residents were a hundred times better than those of farmers, because the vast majority of those who starved to death were farmers, while urban residents received commercial grain on a monthly basis, so even if they did not have enough to eat, they would not starve to death.

"How can we have a good life in this world?" Aunt Xu pointed at her husband and then at herself. "Your grandfather Xu and I are each entitled to 25 kilograms of food a month. Often we take our food coupons to the food store to buy food, but when it's our turn in the queue, the store is out of food. The root cause is still food shortage!"

Lu Tianjun thought thoughtfully, "So, the food ration standard of our Wanglou Brigade is considered high."

"Your rations should be the highest," said Aunt Xu. "In towns, only miners and other workers who do heavy manual labor have a monthly food allowance of 45 kilograms. Even so, they often face the dilemma of having tickets and quotas but not being able to buy food. Living in your production brigade is a blessing for you, so cherish it!"

Guan Cheng nodded vigorously, agreeing very much.

As far as he knew, Caohu Brigade had planted more corn and sweet potatoes this year, and the yield was high. The ration standard was raised, but it was still much less than that of Wanglou Brigade. Didn't Song Laoshuan say that the strong laborers in their production brigade only had 200 kilograms of rations?

Aunt Xu had one more thing to say: encountering Feng Qingxue was their greatest blessing.

Although she really wanted to talk to Guan Cheng for a while, she was afraid of the impact, so she let the two brothers go after dinner. Before they left, she took out a portion of her newly paid salary and forced it on Guan Cheng.

Uncle Xu locked up the remaining sixteen eggs and said, "Qingxue is such an honest child."

"Of course not!" The total supply of eggs for the two of them for a month was only one kilogram. Feng Qingxue donated two kilograms, leaving sixteen. If the two of them each ate one boiled egg a day, it would last them eight days.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Just after packing up the things Feng Qingxue sent, Uncle Xu's old friend came to the door.
