"We have arrangements here. You all go back and tally up how much seed grain you need to buy. Has the land been distributed to you all by now?"
These are the old farmers, do they also know how much seed grain is needed for an acre of land?
The team leader hasn’t revealed any information on this side.
Otherwise, marrying a wife earlier could have gotten them more land."
Captain Zhao didn’t care about these matters.
At the jewelry store, there were Zhao Xinxin and Fang Meiyun, and Er Dan also went to learn a craft.
Fang Chaoyang arranged him in the garment factory.
Zhang Lanhua was now pregnant, but she still wanted to work, handling payments at the electrical store.
Yun Xiaoxiao watched Grandma Fang smoke the bacon and sausages.
"Grandma Fang, your cooking skills are impressive."
Grandma Fang looked at the bacon and sausages, using them like a fire, not cold at all.
Now that Grandma Fang was willing to use oil, she took out her family skills to cook.
Usually, she made breakfast and dinner.
At noon, those who had jobs went to work, and those who had classes went to class, leaving her alone at home, spending time listening to the radio.
Today Yun Xiaoxiao was at home, as her work had just gotten a temporary break, and school was starting in a couple of days.
Now, she was craving smoked meat and sausages.
Upon learning that his wife wanted to eat bacon and sausages, Zhao Tianlei sent Zhao Tianhe to the meat union factory to buy two hundred pounds of meat, while he went with Cao Dali to fetch smoke wood from cypress trees.
"What do you want to eat for lunch?"
"Is it just the two of us at home for lunch? How about eating fried sauce noodles?"
"I think that’s a good idea."
The fire in the stove was fundamentally unquenchable.
After eating the fried sauce noodles, Yun Xiaoxiao wanted to go back to the kang bed to lie down.
"You go take a nap, I’ll keep an eye on things here."
Seeing Yun Xiaoxiao starting to doze off and considering the heavy smoke.
"Then I’ll go and sleep for a bit."
It was really too cold today; really, once in bed, no one wanted to get out.
Grandma Fang watched the smoking, while wondering what to have for dinner?
In the kitchen, there was no shortage of vegetables, meat, grains, or oil.
Miss Yun liked spicy shredded potatoes, Xiao Shitou liked meat, and with some flour made available, they could make buns or dumplings.
Today, eating white flour and meat every day was something Grandma Fang had never dared to imagine before.
And cooking with an electric rice cooker was particularly convenient."
With tasks like washing vegetables, using hot water, the stove wouldn’t go out, and hot water was almost always available.
She was getting older and didn’t have many naps.
In Capital City for these few days, she found that it got dark early.
The nearby universities hadn’t received their students yet.
The business at the jewelry store was somewhat affected, but there were still people coming to buy things.
Fang Meiyun, initially unaccustomed, was now able to help sell.
The jewelry had prices marked on it.
She also followed Sister Xinxin and studied math.
Now, selling goods, she was just like a Cooperative salesperson.
"Xiao Rou, why are you so absent-minded?" Ren Jianing noticed his cousin who was with them, the semester would start after the Lantern Festival.
Tan Yunrou had gone back after the winter break, but the affair between Qian Fangfang and Zhao Tianlei was still weighing on her mind.
She didn’t know if Brother Zhao had returned to Capital City yet?
School hadn’t started yet; now going to the University of Science and Technology to find someone was impossible.
He apparently didn’t live on campus.
"Isn’t someone trying to set you up with a prospective partner?" Ren Jianing suddenly thought of that possibility.
It was because one of her previously good friends, who hadn’t gotten into university but had a decent job, was always being set up with potential matches.
Tan Yunrou shook her head, "Cousin, what does it feel like to like someone?"
