50s: Starting with a storage ring

Chapter 111 Got it
"Come on, little girl, stretch out your left hand and put it on it." Tong Jiajia did as she was told.

The old Chinese doctor's hair is all gray, but his fingertips are smooth and sensitive because of long-term pulse diagnosis.

A few minutes later, the old doctor smiled and said, "Congratulations, you are pregnant."

Sun Zhiwei jumped up from his chair and said, "Great."

Now that it was confirmed, he grabbed Tong Jiajia's hand and couldn't help but grin.

At this time, the old doctor began to instill safety and hygiene knowledge into them. Although Sun Zhiwei knew more than the old doctor, he also took Tong Jiajia's hand and listened carefully.

Half an hour later, Sun Zhiwei, who had memorized all the precautions, took Tong Jiajia out of the hospital.

Both of them have to continue going to work. The current maternity leave is only 56 days, but it is not as good as lying at home once you get pregnant.

On the way, the overjoyed Sun Zhiwei noticed that Tong Jiajia looked unhappy, so he quickly stopped and asked what was going on.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Nausea?"

"Zhiwei, don't you think it's a bad time for him to come now?"

"Why do you say that? We've been waiting for this for so long. Isn't it a happy thing that the baby is here?"

"But, it's so difficult now. Won't the child suffer if he's born?"

Sun Zhiwei laughed when he heard this. He did not explain immediately, but took her home first.

After entering the yard, Sun Zhiwei quickly took out all the nutritional supplements stored underground.

Including milk powder, sugar, chocolate, canned food, and several large bags of soybeans, mung beans, and red beans, all were moved to an empty room in the basement.

Then he moved in a few bags of rice and flour, and a piece of each kind of cloth.

Then, he took Tong Jiajia down to the basement and pushed open the door of the west room.

There are three rooms in the basement, only two of which are often used. The middle room has tables, chairs, bookshelves, and some rarely used furniture and supplies.

The room on the east side is a storage room, where all the household supplies are kept, and it is usually locked by Tong Jiajia.

Only the room on the west side has been empty, and Tong Jiajia hasn't visited it for several years.

At this moment, she saw Sun Zhiwei opening the room that had not been opened for a long time, as if she had guessed something.

The two entered the room and turned on the light, only to be greeted by a large amount of supplies. She took a closer look and discovered that most of the items were food and fabrics.

There were more than a dozen bags of rice and flour weighing hundreds of pounds each. She also saw canned fruit and chocolate, which were good things.
Finally, her eyes were attracted by the milk powder cans in the corner. Milk powder was expensive, but there were dozens of cans here.

Even if she has no milk after the baby is born, these milk powders can ensure that the baby has milk to drink.

She couldn't help but count with her fingers: "1, 2, 3, there are 24 cans in total. This will keep the child fed for a long time."

Sun Zhiwei smiled and said, "Originally it was 25 cans. Didn't we give one can to Lao Zhang's parents last time?"

"Oh, if I had known earlier, I would have given something else. One can of milk powder can last the child for half a month."

Seeing Tong Jiajia's annoyed look, Sun Zhiwei laughed all of a sudden. He stepped forward, grabbed Tong Jiajia's hand and said softly:

"Jia Jia, don't worry. I have ways to get all kinds of nutritional supplements. No matter how difficult it is out there, our baby won't starve."

"But where did you get all these things? Isn't it illegal?"

"Don't worry, some of this is spoils of war I captured before, and some I got from the ghost market. Although I can't say they came from legitimate sources, they weren't obtained illegally." 'The spoils I got from fighting evil forces aren't illegal, right? At least they're not against my conscience.'

"How can robbing the enemy's things be considered stealing? If we don't have guns or cannons, the enemy will make them for us. I'm just carrying forward the fine traditions of the organization."

Hearing that these things were not illegal, Tong Jiajia smiled and her original worried expression disappeared.

Instead, Sun Zhiwei touched his chin, looking at the supplies that only occupied a corner of the room, feeling a little dissatisfied.

These 20 or so cans of milk powder might not be enough? A few days ago, he found out the address of the South City Ghost Market, which is right next to the overpass.

When I have time, I will go and check on him. He won’t take too much, just 20 cans of milk powder. When the baby has almost finished eating, he will go and get fresh ones.

The Ghost Market stores food and I store guns. The Ghost Market is my granary.

In any case, places like ghost markets will never disappear. No matter how we crack down on them, they will always come back to life, and similar places will still exist until the 21st century.

"Don't worry now, what's stored here is enough for the baby to eat for half a year. If there is a need, I can get more. It's not difficult for me."

"You have to understand one thing: milk powder will be produced no matter what. Whether it's difficult or not has nothing to do with milk powder. The cows that make milk powder are all on the prairie."

"As long as it's available on the market, I'll find a way to get it for my daughter."

"Haha, why do you say daughter? Don't you like sons?"

"It's not that I don't like it, I just prefer daughters. Sons are fine too, we just go with the flow."

"It's mainly because I think of my daughter. I feel a little dizzy when I think about her taking our son out to fight every day."

"Hahahaha, you are so mean. Nannan is not like what you said. She has good grades and is popular in school. She is very popular among teachers and classmates."

“Is she doing well in school now?”

"Yeah, after getting beaten last time, she went back and worked hard, and her grades improved immediately."

"It seems that we still don't fight enough."

"Don't talk nonsense, Nannan has grown up and become sensible."

"That's one of the reasons, but we'll have to wait and see. After being released from labor camp, they still need to observe for three years."

"Speaking of Nannan, she's in her third year of junior high this year. Things haven't been going well in recent years, and the food at school isn't very good either."

"I'm wondering if we should stop letting her live on campus after high school and let her go home to eat every day. After all, the food at home can't compare to the school cafeteria."

"I think it's okay, but Nannan has to agree to it herself. You can't act like a patriarch."

"No, we practice democratic centralism in our family. If we can't decide, we'll just vote. You'll definitely support me, right?"

"Pfft, if Nannan knew this, she would definitely be furious."

"Just ask her when she comes back this weekend."

Sun Zhiwei hopes that his daughter can go home to eat. Although the school’s supplies are better than those outside, the situation will be even worse next year. She will not have enough to eat at school and will have to participate in labor.

This period is the child's developmental period, and not having enough food will affect the child's life.

Most people born in the 1950s and 1960s are very short, which is definitely due to the fact that they have been in poor physical condition in recent years.
