Chapter 05 Fried Tiao
The two of them were sitting at the corner. At this time, Fang Yuan counted the money one by one and said with a smile, "A total of twenty-five yuan, fifteen kilograms of food stamps, and three kilograms of meat stamps."
"How much?" Lao Liu couldn't believe it. Working as a worker in the Bureau of Mines these days, he only earned one dollar and thirty-five cents a day. After a month, even after off-duty work, he only earned thirty-five cents.
As a result, the fourth brother earned a month's salary this morning.
"Twenty-five yuan, fifteen kilograms of food stamps and three kilograms of meat stamps." Fang Yuan said with a smile, "It's still difficult to get meat stamps. Everyone doesn't have enough to spend. It's a bit difficult to ask them to exchange them for eels. Thanks.
It seems that the workers of the Bureau of Mines are very wealthy.”
When the fried dough sticks and oil tea were served, Lao Liu was still in shock and disbelief. The aroma of fried dough sticks wafted into his nose, and the boy swallowed and came back to his senses.
The golden fried dough sticks were as thick as a forearm, and they were absolutely genuine. After deep-frying, the fragrant smell made Fang Yuan and Lao Liu unable to help but salivate like crazy.
"Brother, how much did these cost?" Lao Liu couldn't help but ask.
"Three kilograms of food stamps, and I paid 70 cents for it. How about it? Brother, are you interested in it?" Fang Yuan picked up a fried dough stick and took a bite. After one gulp, the fried dough stick was extremely crispy and hot and soft inside.
Yes, not to mention how delicious they are, the deep-fried dough sticks are very popular these days, and there are actually only four deep-fried dough sticks in a pound.
Two and a half kilograms of fried dough sticks, ten in total, were placed in front of the two of them. The bowl for holding the oil tea was also big, a real ocean bowl. Inside was a bowl filled with thousands of slices of silk, crushed peanuts and sesame seeds. As soon as it was put into the mouth, it was so salty.
It tastes delicious. If you know how to eat it, dip the fried dough sticks into the oil tea. The taste is like no other.
Seeing that the fourth brother was eating delicious food, Lao Liu didn't dare to stay in a daze, so he quickly started eating too. The two brothers were in an overwhelming manner, eating ten fried dough sticks and two large bowls of oil tea, but they were only half full.
Fang Yuan couldn't stop sighing, he still underestimated people's appetite these days, mainly because there was no food in his stomach and his body was exhausted.
In order to reward Lao Liu for working hard with him in the past two days, Fang Yuan simply gave out another three kilograms of food stamps worth 70 cents, and made another set with the same style as before.
After another burst of mountain roar and tsunami, the two of them were almost full. Lao Liu patted his belly and said to Fang Yuan, "Fourth brother, we have eaten six kilograms of food stamps in this meal, which costs one yuan and forty cents. This is too much."
Isn’t it luxurious?”
Fang Yuan smiled and said, "You have been busy with Fourth Brother for two days, and you came out without eating in the morning. If Fourth Brother doesn't let you have a good meal, I can't forgive you for your hard work these two days!"
After being reborn, Fang Yuan also wanted to understand. What did he get after fighting for this and that in his previous life? In the end, he was just a mess. Since there is still a chance to do it again, he might as well live a comfortable life, love his wife, and be free and comfortable.
After Lao Liu had eaten and drank enough, Fang Yuan ordered another three kilograms of fried dough sticks, wrapped them in oil paper, and prepared to take them home to his wife for them to try.
Now that I have money in my pocket, I need to buy some things. If nothing else, I should at least provide for food and clothing first.
Fang Yuan was riding a bicycle with Lao Liu, while Lao Liu was holding a wooden bucket and a washbasin. The bicycle was riding crookedly, but Lao Liu's cheers never stopped.
"Fourth brother, you are so awesome, you can also ride a bicycle." Lao Liu looked admiringly.
Fang Yuan smiled and said, "What's so difficult about this? You can do it if you have feet?"
"Fourth brother, I will dig up earthworms for you later and put them in the cage. Will you take me to eat fried dough sticks next time?"
"Don't worry, as long as you follow Fourth Brother, you will have everything you need to eat and drink." Fang Yuan said cheerfully.
When the two brothers returned home, they first returned Secretary Wei's bicycle. Wei Guomin was not at home. He was the secretary, and he had to take care of all the major and minor affairs of the production team. It was normal for him not to be at home, but his son Wei Youwei was there.
Wei Youwei is seventeen this year and is in high school. He wears glasses and looks polite. However, no one would have thought that after failing the college entrance examination, this kid actually joined the army and died fighting for the monkeys.
When the news of the sacrifice came back, Secretary Wei's wife went crazy on the spot. She was holding a doll all day long and biting whoever she wanted. It was quite miserable.
"Youwei, I'll leave the car here for you. Come back and say thank you to the secretary for me." Fang Yuan said with a smile.
Wei Youwei adjusted his glasses and said politely, "Fourth brother, don't be so polite. We are all from the same brigade. What's the use of borrowing a car?"
Fang Yuan smiled, grabbed a handful of fruit candies from his pocket and stuffed them into Wei Youwei's hand and said, "Fourth brother likes to hear this, take it, fourth brother will come and play with you later!"
"Alas!" Wei Youwei showed an innocent smile.
Fang Yuan felt sad in his heart, the child was really a good boy, it would be a pity if he could still be the same as he had been in his previous life. He looked back and saw if he could help him, if nothing else, to survive the disaster.
Fang Yuan bought the fruit candies on his way back. The grocery store dealt with a batch of damp candies. There was no need to pay for the candies. They cost 60 cents per catty. The price was really not expensive, and there was actually no big problem. Fang Yuan bought two catties.
return.
Of course, the so-called not expensive was from Fang Yuan's point of view. Lao Liu thought it was too expensive and pulled Fang Yuan to prevent him from buying it. As a result, after the fruit candy entered his mouth, he immediately stopped saying it was expensive.
No matter how sensible a child is, they are still a child, and Fang Yuan never thinks that it is a good thing for children to be sensible. Life is already hard enough, so let them taste more sweet things in their carefree age, and they will be better off when they meet in the future.
When things get tough, maybe you can get through them by sipping on this little bit of sweetness.
The two brothers returned their bicycles, one took a bucket, the other a basin, and went back home. However, before they even entered the door, they heard the loud voice of their father inside.
"If you are taller, you will not be photographed. If you are short, you will not be photographed. If you are fat, you will not be photographed. If you are thin, you will not be photographed. If you talk too much, you will be unsteady. If you talk too little, you will be bored. What kind of photo do you think you have? You are twenty-three.
You're twenty-three, what girl wouldn't leave the court at twenty-three? I think you'll piss me off sooner or later!"
Dad's voice made him want to blow up the house.
At the door of the hut, the third sister Fang Ting silently hugged the quilt, with tears in her eyes. Su Yan stood aside and didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only hold the third sister's hand and rub it gently.
The third sister's matter is indeed a headache. In her previous life, the third sister resisted getting married until next year, and even found an educated youth who went to the countryside. Originally, the third sister felt that there was no hope of returning to the city, so she simply started a family in the countryside and lived an honest life.
But who would have known that the policy changed later. When that bitch heard that he could return to the city, he coaxed and lied to her. Before leaving, he told the third sister that he would come back to pick up the third sister after she had settled down there. However, there was no news after leaving.
, forcefully made the third sister a widow.
Thinking of this, Fang Yuan sighed helplessly. The third sister went to high school and was good-looking. She was 1.67 meters tall. She came from every village in the world. She was stared at by countless unmarried men.
In the past two years, the threshold for marriage proposals has almost been trampled to pieces, but the third sister has high standards and looks down on her. She has been dragging her back and forth until now, and my father is getting angry.
As for my father, he belongs to that kind of old-school parent. To put it simply, it’s just one sentence.
"I am your father, so everything I say is right."
But if dad can really do everything right, then Fang Yuan won't say anything else. The problem is that he, as a dad, is wrong about ten things and nine and a half. Apart from being a good at farming, what else does he do?
Finished.
What’s more, I can’t say that as soon as I mentioned something embarrassing about him, I would immediately turn against him and accuse him of being your father.
As for the third sister's marriage, he had been suppressing it earlier. He thought his girl was educated and beautiful, so he rejected several third sisters who looked good. He thought that with the level of the third sister, he would at least find someone.
As a worker, he is not doing well at a high level or at a low level, but he has begun to blame the third sister.
Fang Yuan and the third sister Fang Ting are two years apart, and they have the best relationship among the siblings. When the adults in the family went to the fields to earn work points, it was the third sister Fang Ting who held Fang Yuan's hand and did the housework with the other.
Fang Yuan must save the third sister.
