Chapter 1337 The Little Widow in the Siheyuan 71
Zhang Yu looked at Qin Pandi who was busy going in and out, and heard that the neighbors around her were not optimistic about her. Instead, she felt that Qin Pandi, who was living an active life, might not be able to live well in the future. It will be miserable.
Qin Pandi knew that everyone was talking about her, but she didn't care. She knew that she was getting married, saying that she was married to Zhao Qi, and she was the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family.
It was not easy for her to get married, and it was not easy for Zhao Qi to get a wife. In order for her to have a child, they would not let her have enough food, at least they would not deny her food.
Just as she thought, although Zhao Fu is not a generous owner, Qin Pandi has a household registration, works quickly, and is not too harsh.
What makes Zhao Fu and his wife even more satisfied is that Qin Pandi will go to the streets to pick up some work. When there is no work, she will go to the nearby mountains, and she will gain more or less every time.
It was either wild vegetables or occasionally some mushrooms, but Zhao Fu was very happy.
Even Zhao Lin, who kept talking about ominous people before, would occasionally call her sister-in-law when looking at the ingredients Qin Pandi brought back.
Zhang Yu looked at the Zhao Fu family, who had a harmonious relationship, and didn't think they would remain calm. Now that there was a lack of food, even if they wanted to make a fuss, they didn't have the strength to make a fuss.
After this hurdle is over, there will definitely be trouble in the Zhao Fu family. Zhao Qi has long looked at Zhao Lin, his younger brother, with all kinds of displeasure, but he didn't find the opportunity to drive him away.
Zhang Yu stood at the window, waiting for the rice in the pot to cook. In order to prevent the smell from spreading, the kitchen windows were closed.
Although it is only after 7 o'clock now, in the past, everyone was gathered in the yard, the children were making noises, and the adults were chatting together. The most common thing they talked about was that the parents were arrogant and there was no excitement around them. look.
As for now, everyone is lying in bed early to conserve energy.
Seeing that no one was walking around outside, Zhang Yu quickly took the pot off the stove, and Zhao Lei simply took it directly to the room behind Zhang Yu's room.
Since this room has no windows, Zhang Yu set it up as a place to place sundries, and now it has become a place for the whole family to steal food.
Only here, the smell is not easy to spread out.
Zhao Hong was already waiting in the room. When she saw Zhao Lei entering with a pot, he happily inserted the spoon he had already held in his hand into the rice.
“I haven’t had lard rice for a long time.” Zhao Hong felt very excited when she thought that she would be able to eat lard rice soon.
Zhao Lei glared at Zhao Hong a few times, and the latter covered his mouth, "I won't say."
Zhao Lei estimated the time and felt that the lard should have melted, so he picked up the spoon. Stir in one pass.
"Put in the chopped seaweed." Zhang Yu gently entered the small room and put the chopped seaweed and dried small fish that had been prepared long ago into the rice.
She heated the minced dried fish in a small room at the scrap station. There was nothing she could do about it. This was fish meat, and as long as it was processed, there was no way to suppress the smell.
“And there’s fish?” Zhao Hong was really happy. He thought it would be beautiful if there was lard today.
I didn’t expect there would be fish today, “Mom, this?” Zhao Lei didn’t understand why he had to eat it this way when he could eat it separately.
"Eat, you still need the food that is improved once a week." Zhang Yu whispered, "Don't worry, there are dried seafood."
Zhang Yu knew that Uncle Wang had been a soldier before, and his comrades were scattered in many places, but she had never asked, nor had she seen that Uncle Wang had any contact with the outside world, nor had she seen anyone visiting him.
Unexpectedly, Uncle Wang's comrades mailed him a large package of seafood a few days ago, such as dried kelp, seaweed, and dried scallops.
Uncle Wang gave Zhang Yu more than half, but he was very happy with her. Although he didn’t know if he would have such a good opportunity next time, but since he got it, don’t be polite.
"Is it seafood that Grandpa Wang gave me?" Zhao Lei knew that Uncle Wang gave him a big bag of stuff, but he didn't ask because he didn't expect that it was seafood. "Mom, why didn't I see you bring it back?" Zhao Lei was very confused.
"Yes, Mom, where did you put the things?" Zhao Hong really found it strange that neither she nor Zhao Lei had ever found the things Zhang Yu had hidden.
"It's a secret, I won't tell you." Zhang Yude said sternly, "I am a little expert at hiding things."
Hahahaha, how could they know? In fact, she didn't hide the things at all, but put them in the space.
She is worried about putting things anywhere. She is worried that others will find them. She can only feel at ease if they are placed in a space.
“If I take it out so carelessly, do you think the neighbors will let us go?”
"Several times, I woke up in the middle of the night and found someone lying by the window, staring at our house."
The situation will not get better until next year, and now can be said to be the most difficult time for everyone, even if there was stock at home before , but after more than a year of consumption, it has long been gone.
Zhao Lei and Zhao Hong have two children. They usually don’t ask anyone to know what they usually eat.
"What are they?" Zhao Lei was angry. He didn't bother asking around. He knew that Zhang Yu went fishing every day and went to the mountains on weekends.
It’s a pity that the harvest is not much, enough for the four of them to improve their meals every week.
"They think our family has inventory." Zhang Yu used to bring a bag to and from get off work, but now it's more direct. She goes to get off work empty-handed just to let the neighbors know that she didn't bring anything with her.
Zhao Lei and Zhao Hong nodded, "Mom, don't worry, we know what to say."
"Anyone can do it for food." Zhang Yu did not tell the two My child's fault is that someone went to the black market to buy food a few days ago and was targeted.
After leaving the black market, a group of people immediately rushed up and snatched away the things.
Originally, this matter was relatively hidden, and the person who suffered the loss would not tell it. No one wanted to let anyone know that he had gone to the black market, but he couldn't resist the person and insisted on chasing after him. As a result, he stabbed the criminal directly.
Zhang Yu believes that this is definitely not the first time, nor will it be the last time.
Zhao Lei suddenly thought deeply, "Mom, do you think they will break the lock of our house while we are not at home."
Zhao Hong couldn't help but become nervous, yes, she How could I forget this?
Looking at the nervous expressions of the two children, Zhang Yu was happy, "Just be the same as before."
"You usually follow me to and from get off work, but you suddenly stopped going to the scrap station. Just stay at home, if it’s only for a day or two, although they have doubts, they won’t think much about it.”
"But if you are at home every day, what will they think? They will definitely think that there must be food at home, otherwise you would not stay at home."
"You are at home just to keep food."
“We are the same as before, they won’t think too much about it. Even if they think our family has food, they will think that our family puts the food in the waste disposal station.”
This That is to say, Zhang Yu occasionally improves the food at home and never worries about others finding out.
In addition to his good concealment skills, everyone also knows that Zhang Yu is not at home to start a party.
