After hearing what Ye Zhiqiu said, Wang Xiaolan didn't insist on it anymore. At this time, the water in the second stove was also hot, so she took a bucket to fetch water and prepared to take Ye Bailu to take a bath.
Ye Zhiqiu added the water back, because there was still Wang Fugui washing warm water. When you are old, you can't wash with cold water like young people.
In fact, many people have misunderstandings about the north. When the weather is hot, no matter where people are from, they take a bath every day, or even several times a day.
But when the weather gets cold, you can’t take a bath every day because of the dryness in the north, which will cause great harm to your skin.
If you live in the north, it is just like the south where there is plenty of moisture and it is not dry, which makes people produce oily skin every day and they will also take a shower every day!
Here’s a funny thing: when people from the north go to Guangdong in the summer, they love taking baths more than the Guangdong people!
Because they can't adapt to this greasy feeling, they will feel uncomfortable all over! So they will take a shower in the morning, noon and evening. If they don't take a shower, they will feel uncomfortable all over!
Wang Fugui took a shower after dinner, so by the time Wang Xiaolan and her daughter came out, Ye Zhiqiu had already prepared dinner.
He took the lunch boxes back to the dining table one by one with a rag and asked Ye Wubing to take the cooked yam back. It was simply boiled in water with oil and salt.
After Ye Zhiqiu brought the rice back, Ye Tianya opened the lunch box and asked in surprise, "Wow! Boss, how did you bring back so much meat?"
Ye Zhiqiu put the rice away and said proudly, "Now you know why I learned to cook? I'll help you cook, and you can bring back some leftovers. If I buy the vegetables and make these two lunch boxes myself, it would cost at least two or three yuan!"
Ye Bailu shouted happily, "Eat meat! Big brother is so nice, there's meat to eat again!"
Wang Xiaolan smiled and said, "Little greedy cat, you only ate meat on the Mid-Autumn Festival, and you also ate meat yesterday, why are you still so greedy!"
Ye Bailu said seriously: "Grandpa said that yesterday's meat is yesterday's meat, and today's meat is today's meat. Mother, you can't confuse them!"
Everyone was stunned, not understanding where the little girl got the meat from yesterday and today!
Wang Fugui laughed and scolded, "Silly girl, what grandpa taught you is that everything in the past is like yesterday's death. Everything in the future is like today's birth! How come when it comes to your mouth, it becomes teaching you to eat meat!"
Ye Zhiqiu suddenly realized that it was a famous quote from The Four Lessons of Life, the study of establishing one's destiny!
He praised her, "Although the words sound a bit silly, the meaning is close! It proves that my little sister has been studying hard recently. Big brother will reward you with a piece of braised pork as a reward!"
"Hehe...Thank you, big brother!"
The whole family laughed and started to eat.
This big pot dish is very flavorful, and when it is reheated, it has a special mixed flavor that is even better than when it was first made!
In comparison, the people of the Ye family have plenty of money, and each of them looks better than others.
It's still okay now. After all, supplies are just starting to become scarce. Even if you go to the black market to trade food, the price will only go up by one or two cents. This kind of fluctuation won't have much impact.
The full bill issuance will be launched in January next year, which is only two months from now.
At that time, there were problems with the supply of materials, and they could not be supplied freely. The meat coupons that had been piloted before would be fully implemented, and three meat coupons would be issued to each household per month based on the number of registered residents.
Although the meat tickets at that time had numbers on them, they had no weight. In fact, it depended on the supply of goods. How many taels of meat could be bought with a two-tael meat ticket that month depended on the supply of pork.
When there are many, one meat ticket can buy three taels of pork, and when there are few, one meat ticket can only buy one tael of pork.
Most of the time, it was two taels, but sometimes it was one tael. So back then, when we talked about meat tickets, we didn't say one, but two taels. It was essentially a tael-for-one agreement, meaning everyone assumed the minimum amount of meat tickets was two taels of pork.
Ye Zhiqiu looked at Ye Bailu, who was fair and tender with flesh on her face. Starting next year, she would have to change her diet structure!
You have to eat carrots and pumpkins every day, as these can change your skin color. Otherwise, you will be out of tune with people in this era if you are white with a rosy complexion!
But after Ye Zhiqiu looked around, he felt a little depressed! Because no matter whether it was Ye Tianya, Wang Xiaolan, Wang Fugui or Ye Wubing, they all had dark skin!
In the end, only Ye Bailu and I would feel strange! By then, only the two of them, brother and sister, would need to eat carrots to disguise themselves!
Ye Zhiqiu started eating unhappily, never expecting that the only ones who needed to gnaw on carrots like rabbits were himself and his younger sister!
After finishing their meal and smoking a cigarette together, Wang Fugui asked Ye Zhiqiu, "Grandson, do you want to take a bath? You're too lazy to go to the bathhouse to rub it, so why don't we rub each other?"
Ye Zhiqiu said cheerfully, "Okay, let's rub it. Speaking of which, there's a bathhouse being built on this side of the street. I don't know when it will be ready for use. Where did you go to bathe before?"
"Well, you have to go to Tuanjie Lake to bathe. There aren't many people here, so it's useless to have a bathhouse! It's only in the past two years that the population has increased. The street office built this bathhouse to solve this problem."
The two of them chatted while going to the kitchen to get water.
"Grandpa, I heard they're going to get bath tickets? Does that mean we'll need tickets to take a bath in the future?"
"Well, I haven't heard of any restrictions. It's just like buying movie tickets. Because of the bathhouse here, it will probably cost one or two cents per bath."
The two of them quickly brought the diluted water, took their clothes and bath towels and went into the bathroom, still using flashlights.
After getting wet, Ye Zhiqiu began to soap Wang Fugui and scrub his back. He said with a headache, "I've wanted to install a light bulb in the toilet for a long time. It's not convenient at all without a light. After this holiday, I have to go to the factory to apply for it!"
Wang Fugui thought for a moment and then warned, "Do you remember what I told you? You have to buy the yard quickly. I don't think it will cost much.
There are five main rooms here, and if you count the kitchen and utility room as one, that makes six rooms. I think about 600 to 700 yuan. Get the yard ready soon, and you two can apply for housing.
You can talk to your uncle and tell him that you have connections and can get special approval, and he will know how to get it for you."
Ye Zhiqiu took a ladle and scooped up some water, then washed Wang Fugui's back. Curiously, he asked, "Grandpa, what is a special approval letter? Is it that powerful?"
Wang Fugui sighed and said, "Well, this thing can't be said to be very powerful. It's just some preferential treatment that can be given to family members who have made sacrifices and contributions."
Ye Zhiqiu knew he had been talking too much again, so he quickly said to Wang Fugui, "Grandpa, it's clean now, it's your turn to rub it for me!"
"Alright, good fellow, you are so dirty, grandson!"
"Well, I'm sweating all over today too. No, I just rubbed it with my second brother a few days ago, and it wasn't as exaggerated as you say, Grandpa, right?"
"It turns into mud when you rub it, what do you think?"
