By the time Fangyuan got home, it had already darkened, her eldest sister had come back from get off work, and her mother had already prepared the meal.

"You brat, didn't you go out for a while? Why did you come back now?" As soon as he got home, Fang Yuan's ears were pulled by his mother.

"Keke!" The third sister laughed when she saw her mother tugging on Fangyuan's ears.

"Mom, I was just delayed for a while, a little while." Fangyuan gestured with her thumb and index finger again.

"Humph! It seems I won't let you go out next time." Mom let go of Fangyuan's ears, but said something that made Fangyuan tremble.

"No, Mom, at worst I'll come back earlier next time." Fangyuan wasn't afraid of anything except that he wouldn't be allowed out.

Because not letting him go out is more serious than letting him starve for several days, and he has to go out. Don't forget that he has an agreement with others.

"Okay, let's eat!"

"Oh!" After finishing speaking, Fangyuan remembered something: "Where's the fat man?"

"When you go home, you don't even look at what time it is. He comes over and says you'll be back in a minute, and then goes home." The second sister said at this time.

Fangyuan went over to wash her hands first, and then sat down next to the third sister. The third sister helped Fangyuan put away the dishes and chopsticks.

"Thank you, third sister."

"Do your ears still hurt?"

When the third sister asked this, Fangyuan gave her a roll of her eyes and said, "What do you think? It's okay if you didn't help me just now. You're still laughing."

The third sister reached over and rubbed Fangyuan's ears and said, "Because I know mom won't really grab you. Look, there's not even a blush on you."

What she said is right! When my mother pulled his ears just now, she put her hands on his ears. To put it bluntly, it was just for show.

Mom is reluctant to pull him! But it’s impossible not to pull him. At least the second sister and the third sister must know that they will be punished if they come back late.

To put it bluntly, it is to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, and Fangyuan is the chicken, the second sister and the third sister are the monkeys, and my mother is just doing it for them two.

It's a pity that the effect is not good, because both the third sister and the second sister know that mom will not really pull his ears.

Just when Fangyuan picked up a steamed bun and was about to eat it, there was a knock on the door. My mother frowned and went over to open the door.

Standing at the door was a middle-aged woman who was several years younger than my mother. Fangyuan knew her and lived in the same courtyard as Fangyuan and his family. People in the courtyard called her Aunt Six. Of course, this was referring to Fangyuan and their age.

The family compound where Fangyuan's family lives is home to hundreds of families, divided into five small courtyards, all of whom are employees of the textile workshop.

There are more than twenty families living in this small courtyard of Fangyuan's family, which is quite a lot. Fangyuan's family has the smallest population, with five people! You can imagine how many people live in this small courtyard.

"His sixth aunt! Have you eaten? If not, come here and have some." Mom quickly opened the door and said.

"No need, Sister Wang, I've already eaten." Aunt Six hurriedly waved her hand and said.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Well! Something happened." Aunt Six was a little embarrassed, but she still said: "Sister Wang, can you come out for a moment? I want to tell you something."

"Okay." Mom nodded, turned around and said to Yuan Yuan and the others, "You guys eat first, and I'll have a few words with your sixth aunt."

"Okay Mom, go ahead!"

Fangyuan didn't know what Aunt Six said to her mother, but her mother came back soon, not to eat, but to go into the bedroom and then go out again.

It’s just that I came back faster this time.

"Mom, why is Aunt Six looking for you?" the eldest sister asked.

"Your sixth aunt's mother-in-law is sick. She has spent all the money at home and has no money to buy food. Why don't you come to me to borrow ten yuan to buy food."

"Ah! It's only the middle of the month! We don't have any money now, so..."

"It's okay. It'll be fine after a while. Please help if you can."

"That's right." The eldest sister nodded.

To be honest, Aunt Six is ​​lucky to have met people like her mother and eldest sister. In this era when people don’t have enough to eat, who would borrow money!

I guess Aunt Six had already visited many homes before she came here! After all, Aunt Six’s house is not next to my own.

"Okay, let's eat!"

After dinner the next morning, Fangyuan was not in a hurry to leave because he was afraid that Cao would block him outside the school earlier, so he planned to leave with his second and third sisters.

With the second sister and the third sister here, Cao didn't dare to block him before. This is not to say that he was afraid of the second and third sisters. What he was afraid of was that the second and third sisters would complain.

When they arrived at the butcher shop, Fangyuan called Fatty, and the four of them arrived at the school.

Along the way, Yuan Yuan didn't notice Cao Qian, so he probably didn't come to block him, which gave him a chance.

The boring morning passed quickly. As soon as he returned to the gate of the family home, Fangyuan handed his schoolbag to his second sister and ran away.

The things Fangyuan asked the blacksmith to make are relatively simple and can be done this morning. He will go over and pick them up now.

Ten minutes later, Fangyuan ran to the blacksmith shop. Sure enough, the blacksmith had already made it for him. Fangyuan picked it up, looked at it, and then tried it again. It felt very good.

Now all he needs to do is wrap it with a thick layer of cloth. That way, even if he can't defeat Cao Qianqian, he won't suffer too much. And don't forget, he still has a trump card, but this trump card cannot be used unless it is absolutely necessary.

If someone is blown up, the matter will be serious. Even if we can't do anything to him because of his young age, we still need to compensate him.

"What do you think?" the blacksmith asked.

Fangyuan picked up the thing in his hand, shook it and said, "It's okay, that's it. How much does it cost?"

"Give me a dollar!"

Fangyuan quickly took out a dollar and handed it over and said, "Master, I'll take it."

"Well! Take it away!"

After leaving the blacksmith shop, Fangyuan originally wanted to go back directly, but after thinking about it, she went to the supply and marketing cooperative again, this time not to buy firecrackers.

Fangyuan came here to buy food this time, that’s right! It was food, and it was peach cakes and candies.

On Sunday, the little girl named Li Yanran gave him a handful of tickets in exchange for skewers. Later, Fangyuan counted them and found that there were five kilograms of non-staple food stamps and three kilograms of candy stamps.

This made Fangyuan very emotional. A little girl actually had several kilograms of things that others could not get with all the difficulties.

It's just different for rich families! It's a pity that I was not born in such a family, otherwise it would be easier for me to do everything by myself.

Yes, there may be a disaster in such a family in a few years, but that will be a few years later, and maybe I will no longer be in the country by that time.

Of course, Fangyuan is just expressing emotion, not that he really wants a family like that. He is doing pretty well now! Although he can't just do whatever he wants first, at least he has a family now.

As for what I want to do, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future, and I don’t care if it’s just a short while.

"Hello, aunt!"

"Hey! Is that you? Are you here to buy cannons today?" The salesperson asked when she saw it was Fangyuan.

"I won't buy guns today, I'll buy some candies and peach cakes."

"Uh!"

She is not surprised that Fangyuan comes to buy cannons, because those things can be bought if you have money, but peach cakes are different from candies. This thing requires a ticket.

"Here you the ticket." Of course Fangyuan knew what the salesperson was thinking and handed over the ticket first.

"Hiss, so many!" The salesperson looked at Fang Yuan in surprise.

If the salesperson knew that he was only taking out a part, I don’t know what he would think.

Yes, Fangyuan didn't take out all of them. He only took out two kilograms of five kilograms of side food stamps, and only two kilograms of three kilograms of candy coupons.

The remaining fangyuan is going to be kept in case of emergency. There is no way, who can't get this thing!

"You wait."

This time she didn't worry about Fangyuan not being able to come up with the money. After getting the ticket, she prepared it for Fangyuan. How could someone who casually spend ten yuan to buy a gun not be able to come up with this little money?

Peach cakes and candies are just difficult to get, and the prices are not high. A pound of candy is only 87 cents, and a pound of peach cakes is only 45 cents.

The salesperson quickly weighed and packed the peach cakes and candies, and then handed them to Fangyuan.

Today's fruit candies are incomparable to those of later generations. Of course, this does not mean good or bad. If we say good or bad, the candies of this era are more authentic.

Fangyuan is talking about weight. The fruit candies of later generations weighed about three to four grams, or at least three grams, but the fruit candies of this era only weighed two grams.

In other words, one pound of fruit candies is about 250 pieces, which looks very small.

The peach cake is quite big, costing about fifteen yuan per pound, and one piece weighs almost thirty grams.

"Auntie, here's some money for you." Fangyuan handed over two yuan, sixty-four cents.

Two pounds of peach cakes cost nine cents, and two pounds of candy cost one dollar and seventy-four cents. Together they cost exactly two dollars and sixty-four cents.

The salesperson took it and counted it and said: "Just right."

"Thank you, Auntie." After saying this, Fangyuan took the things and ran out.

After Fangyuan left, the salesperson muttered: "Whose child is this? He's so sensible."

It's a pity that she can't know, because Fangyuan is not from Qinghe Street at all, but from the woolen factory.

In fact, Fangyuan can also buy it at the supply and marketing cooperative over there at the woolen mill, but his eldest sister works in the supply and marketing cooperative there, so Fangyuan can only buy it here.

It is better not to let family members know about some things, otherwise it will really ruin his affairs.

When Fangyuan got home, the second sister was warming up the rice. Now that my mother and eldest sister both work the day shift, the second sister can only take over the cooking at noon.

There is no need for her to do anything, just do a little more in the morning and heat it up at noon.

"Brother, why did you come back?" Seeing Fangyuan coming in, the third sister came over and asked.

"I'm going to buy you something delicious." Fangyuan took out a bag of peach cakes from behind and waved it in front of the third sister's eyes.

"Ah! Tao Su." The third sister had already stretched out her hand before she finished speaking.

But how could she snatch it away from Fangyuan? As soon as Fangyuan turned around, the third sister missed her.

"Third sister, you even brought something to rob!" Fang Yuan said with a smile.

"Humph! Bring it to me." The third sister stretched her waist and said to Yuan Yuan.

"No."

"Okay, okay, I won't give it to you, right! Huh, I won't hurt you anymore."
