Affection for Sidaogou during the Famine

Director Zhang was also jealous when he saw the wild duck, and discussed with Han Zhaozhao: "Zhaozhao, give me the duck, I just happen to have a few national food coupons!

My little kid hasn't eaten meat for a long time, and he's been making trouble with me these days!"

Han Zhaozhao shook his head repeatedly, "Little brother wants to eat duck, you can take it home to eat! I caught it myself, and I didn't spend any money, so you don't need to give me food coupons!"

As he spoke, he stuffed the duck directly into Director Zhang's hands, so she didn't have to carry it and saved herself some effort.

As for the food coupons, she believed that Director Zhang would not refuse to give them.

Sure enough, as soon as she returned home, Director Zhang sent her three pounds of food coupons and two brown sugar coupons with a face value of one pound and a different value.

Actually, Han Zhaozhao got a bargain. When he sold the duck at the market, it was worth at most six dollars.

Six dollars won't buy so many popular tickets.

Especially the national food coupons, it is said that they are not even available at one yuan per pound on the black market. The key point is that this thing has a price but no market, and there is no place to get it even if you have money, you can only rely on luck.

Han Zhaozhao went to the vegetable garden in the backyard and pulled away the covering hay. The spinach underneath was plump and as big as a bowl, with green and tender leaves.

This vegetable must be eaten quickly, because it will grow into a spinach tree in the spring, and Han Zhaozhao doesn't like to eat it.

Han Zhaozhao picked half a basket of spinach, two shallots, and pinched a few green garlic leaves and decided to eat them in the evening!

The radishes in the cellar should also be eaten quickly. Cut the radishes into thin shreds, add chili oil, white sesame seeds, sugar and salt, add a drizzle of sesame oil, and mix the shredded radishes.

Cut a piece of bacon, soak a handful of string beans, and stew the bacon and string beans.

Finally, he scooped out a bowl of buckwheat noodles and mixed it with a bowl of white flour. Han Zhaozhao kneaded the dough and made a lid of buckwheat noodles.

Today I won't stir-fry the pot. Boil water, put the fish and spinach in, sprinkle with green garlic leaves, chopped green onions and salt before serving, and put it in a rice bowl. When eating, add some chili oil and aged vinegar according to your taste. Although the color is dark brown, the taste is very fragrant!

When the old lady entered the house, Han Zhaozhao's meal had already been served on the table and she could start eating after washing her hands.

"Hey, today's buckwheat noodles with fish? This meal is good! Zhao Zhao, is it too much? Bring a bowl to Xiao Liang!"

The old lady felt sorry for Xiaoliang and would ask her granddaughter to bring him some of the delicious food she cooked at home.

"Oh! Grandma, our spinach is about to grow. Can I pick some and distribute them to Xiaoyun and her three sons?"

Han Zhaozhao knew that the old lady would not stop her, but she still had to inform her.

"Okay, you can pick them and send them after dinner. Don't forget to cover the basket. There are so many people around and they will be jealous if they see you. Yesterday I went down to the cellar and saw that there were still a lot of radishes and cabbages.

Tomorrow you should put more cabbage into the sauerkraut jar, keep half of the radishes, and give a few of the rest to each family.

It's a time of famine, and they probably have run out of food. Please send some to your aunt Shufen's family, as it's not easy for an orphan and a widow to live!

Look at Xiaoliang, he is very skinny with a big head. I am worried about him, for fear that if he shakes his head, his big head will fall down. It is so scary!"

Han Zhaozhao burst out laughing: "Grandma, you're exaggerating! I've seen Xiaoliang's face gain weight since he moved in. This must be due to your feeding!"

The old lady also laughed: "I dare not say that! But your aunt Shufen is at work, and she can take Xiaoliang to the cafeteria to eat twice a day.

As long as he has food to eat, Xiaoliang, who is not short in stature, actually gains weight quite quickly.

This child must have suffered a lot with his mother before! Fortunately, everyone in his family is tall, so although this child is thin, his height has not been affected.

Otherwise, you will be an adult soon, and it will be difficult to escape!"

Han Zhaozhao: "Don't they say that boys start to grow taller at 23 and can grow taller at 25?"

This issue has been discussed in the "Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic" a long time ago. When a girl reaches the age of 21, her kidney qi is balanced, so her real teeth grow to the maximum, and basically stop growing after that.

When a boy reaches the age of 24, his kidney qi is balanced, his muscles and bones are strong, so his real teeth grow to their full length, and his height has basically reached the highest height in his life.

After this last age point, there is basically no hope of growth!

"Hey! If you didn't lay a good foundation when you were young, you won't be able to make up for it later and it will be difficult for you to grow taller! Men are not like women. If you don't have the head, you don't have the strength. You can't live without it."

After dinner, Han Zhaozhao picked some spinach and went down to the cellar to get a basket of radishes.

He took out about a pound of spinach and three large radishes, and also served a bowl of buckwheat noodles with fish, and sent them to Xiaoliang's home first.

"Aunt, my family made fish noodles tonight and left a bowl for Xiaoliang. Where's Xiaoliang?"

"Zhao Zhao, tell your grandma that your family doesn't have much food, so don't send any food here. I cook every night!"

Xiaoliang's mother was making a fire. She pulled a small bundle of hay from some remote corner of the factory and lit it to cook.

Han Zhaozhao took a look and boiled water to make porridge. He handed her the basket and said, "I cooked too much rice today! Auntie, this is spinach, just picked from the backyard, wash it and cook it.

There are three radishes left, and they are almost hollow. You can stir-fry them with pickles.

My grandma asked each family to give a few to each other so they wouldn’t go bad and be wasted! "

Shufen took it embarrassedly, poured the noodles into her own bowl first, then cleared the vegetable basket and returned it to Zhaozhao.

She knew in her heart that these days, wild vegetables outside were dug up with their roots as soon as they appeared, so how could such a good radish be wasted?

Once it is put in the market, it will be sold out in a few minutes. It used to be one or two cents per pound, but now it is sold for ten cents, and people are fighting for it.

The Han family is very kind. They don’t sell their property for money, but share it with their close friends.

The mother and daughter were also lucky. They lived in this hospital and received a lot of care.

She felt guilty, but now her family was in financial difficulty, so she could only accept it shamelessly. She only hoped that her life would get better in the future, and she would be able to give back to this kind-hearted grandparents and grandchildren.

"Sister, you're here? Come and see, these are the flowers I gave you."

When Xiaoliang heard that Han Zhaozhao was coming, he immediately ran from his room to find her and presented her with the gift he had carefully prepared like offering a treasure.

Where did the flowers come from in this chilly spring season? Han Zhaozhao took it and looked at it, then asked in surprise, "Did you make this? It's so beautiful. If you don't touch it, you can't imagine it's made of cloth."

"Xiaoliang, you have such a skillful hand, the fabric flower you made is almost exactly like the real one!"

Maybe Xiaoliang is too naive, he easily immerses himself in what he does.

After moving here for a few days, Han Zhaozhao discovered that he was a real master of handicrafts.

This child is good at everything he does. When she had nothing to do, she practiced wood carving. He watched her from the side, and they learned a lot in just one afternoon.

Han Zhaozhao gave him a blunt carving knife. He found a way to sharpen it himself, and the next day he carved a hen and gave it to her.

Han Zhaozhao was stunned. This wood sculpture was almost exactly the same as the big flower in her backyard.
