Chapter 27 Partnering for dinner

  When a large bowl of white flour steamed buns and a large bowl of stewed pork and cabbage vermicelli were brought to the table, even Zhang Yuan, who had never been hungry before, was taken aback for a moment.

  Although he is not hungry every day, he is no different from other people. He eats whole grain porridge every day, and he has never eaten white flour when he came here!

   "Come, come, hurry up and eat!" Bai Xue finally came in with a plate of pickles, and there was nothing else at home.

   But this is better than what you eat during the New Year. Although Zhang Yuan is from Kyoto, there is a general shortage of food in this era, and there is nowhere to eat.

  The four little ones climbed onto the kang, found their own seats and sat down after hearing what the elder sister said.

   "Xiao Yuan! Hurry up and sit down and eat!" Bai Daliang's name was changed during the cooking time, from Comrade Zhang to Xiao Yuan, and he was very close.

   "Hey! Uncle, I'll be right here!" Zhang Yuan walked out as he spoke, and came in after washing his hands quickly.

  The children from the city are really particular, as you can tell by the little guys just staring at the food on the table.

  Finally, Zhang Yuan and Bai Xue sat near the edge of the Kang.

  Eating a meal is like fighting a war. A few little ones have never eaten vermicelli, and this meal of vermicelli made their cheeks flush.

   I didn’t eat less white flour steamed buns.

  Zhang Yuan was not polite, he turned his back on the customer, and even gave Baixue some cabbage.

  While Bai Daliang and his wife were curious and worried about where did these expensive, delicious foods that they couldn’t smell normally come from, they couldn’t resist the temptation and ate their stomachs.

   After everyone was full and cleared the table, Zhang Yuan didn't leave immediately, and sat down.

   "Xiaoxue's craftsmanship is really good. This food is even more delicious than that of a state-run restaurant! It's the first time I have eaten such a delicious dish."

   "Our Xiaoxue cooking is delicious!" Bai Daliang followed Zhang Yuan and praised his daughter.

  Bai Xue thought to herself, if it weren't for the meat, the boiled dishes can still be said to be delicious, that's because of my own craftsmanship!

   "Unlike me, I usually cook porridge." Zhang Yuan added.

   "Xiao Yuan, do you educated youths cook their own food?" Bai Daliang asked.

   "Boys and girls cook separately, but none of the four of us can cook..." Zhang Yuan touched his head and said.

   "You can cooperate with the girls! Let the girls cook, and you boys can collect firewood for them! Kill two birds with one stone!" Bai Xue said while sitting on the north kang.

   "Trouble, it's better to simply eat porridge! And I don't like to be in contact with those girls." Zhang Yuan looked at Bai Xue, as if explaining something to her.

  Anyway, when he was really hungry, he went to the state-run restaurant to have a meal.

   "Then why don't you come to our house to join us for dinner! Anyway, the meal for seven people is cooked, and the meal for eight people is the same! You just need to bring the rations over!"

  Bai Xue said this out of selfishness, every day when she eats, she can see handsome guys who look like her idol eat more! She can eat coarse grains as fine grains!

   Take care of your eyes every day and live to ninety-nine!

   "Is it okay?" Zhang Yuan was already so excited that he was about to explode, but he couldn't make it too obvious on his face, so he suppressed his emotions and asked.

   "This..." Bai Daliang glanced at his eldest daughter, and then at his daughter-in-law who had no objection but was just smiling, not knowing what to say.

   "Of course, you don't eat white rice, so why not export your own food!" Bai Xue knew what her father was hesitating about. She was fifteen years old, and she hired a nineteen-year-old educated youth to eat with her, fearing that outsiders would talk nonsense.

"That's great, I can take the food rations, and I'll give you five yuan for food every month! I'm not picky, I can eat anything!" Zhang Yuan took out five yuan from his pocket as he said, "This month's Give it to you now!"

  He did not give Bai Daliang, but handed it to Bai Xue.

  Bai Xue didn't refuse, but took it.

  She could see that Zhang Yuan was not short of money, as she could tell from his clothes.

   "Okay, it's getting dark, you should go back quickly! To save others from spreading nonsense, remember to come over for dinner at eight o'clock tomorrow morning!" Bai Xue waved her hand.

   "Okay! Then I'll go back first! Uncles and aunts, I'm leaving!" Zhang Yuanzhen got up obediently, and walked out after taking care of Bai Daliang and his wife.

   "Hey! Xiao Yuan! Slow down! Xiao Shan goes out to see off you Brother Zhang!" Bai Daliang said.

   "Okay, Dad!" Bai Rushan sent it out.

   "Xiaoxue?" Wang Cuihua called out in doubt after the waiter left.

   "Mom, he is my savior. Do you have the heart to watch him eat porridge every day? It's not easy to go out and not know how to cook!" Bai Xue said with an extremely sympathetic expression.

   "That's true, but where did you get so many things today? It's milk powder, meat, and white flour steamed buns! Where did they all come from?" Wang Cuihua asked for Bai Daliang.

   "Wait a minute!" Bai Xue thumped on her shoes and walked out.

   Soon, Bai Xue came in with the mahogany box. She had already made up her speech, and she was just waiting for them to ask.

   "Dad, look at this!" Putting the mahogany box in front of Bai Daliang, Bai Xue said mysteriously.

   "This box?" Bai Daliang picked up the box and looked at it carefully.

   "Do you see any difference?" Bai Xue asked.

   "No... but this mahogany wood should be pretty good!" Bai Daliang didn't see it, but he liked the wood of the box.

   "Dad, open it! There is a hidden compartment inside this mahogany box!"

   Upon hearing this, several little ones came over to watch.

  Bai Ruyun even ran out to check whether the doors and windows were closed properly.

  The most careful girl.

   "Really..." Bai Daliang opened it and was amazed

"I went to see the old lady today, and I was thinking of going to the waste station to find some old textbooks for Xiaoyun Xiaoxia and the others, but when I found the textbooks, I saw this box and fell in love with it, so I bought it. I fell down. Holding it out, I slipped and dropped everything, accidentally found this hidden compartment, opened it to have a look..."

   "What did you see?" Bai Ruchuan stared blankly at her eldest sister, and couldn't wait to ask her a question.

   "There's actually a little yellow croaker inside!" Bai Xue said.

   "Dried fish, big sister? Why didn't I see it? Did you eat it?" Bai Ruxia.

   "Hahaha..." Bai Xue couldn't hold back, such a serious matter made her laugh out loud.

   "Keep your voice down! Can no one tell about the dried fish in the box?" Wang Cuihua looked at Bai Ruxia and said.

   "I know, I don't have such a big mouth!"

  The others couldn't help it, it seemed that the other three little ones knew what the little yellow croaker was, only the idiot Bai Ruxia didn't.

   Being interrupted by such an interruption, the atmosphere is not so tense.

"I went back to find the old lady, and it happened that her son came back, so I asked her son to sell it for me! I sold it for 200 yuan, and I still have some tickets, but there are not many food stamps, five catties of food stamps, forty yuan. Industrial tickets, a catty of sugar tickets, ten-foot cloth tickets, and two cans of milk powder tickets! I used some, bought cloth, needles and threads, and meat and vegetables for dinner, and the remaining 150 yuan Here it is!" Bai Xue took out one hundred and fifty yuan from the pocket of the cotton coat, and she had ninety-seven and five yuan left.

   "Wow big sister, is dried fish so valuable? It's a lot of money!" Bai Ruxia called out.

   "Third Sister, please keep your voice down! Be careful that others will cause trouble if they go to our house!" Bai Rushan turned around and covered Bai Ruxia's mouth.

   "That's right, third sister, the little yellow croaker is not dried fish, it's gold! It will be difficult for our family if you yell at me for this!" Bai Ruchuan gave Bai Ruxia an angry look.

   Ask for collection, recommendation tickets, monthly tickets, rewards, babies, Swallow is going to test the water today, please ask for everything
