When the three brothers of the Du family just came out of the bathhouse, they met Du Weihai and his son. They just said, "Du Yimeng is back," and left them alone.

Dinner was just ready and the father and son came back in time for dinner.

"Didn't they say Dameng was back? Where is Dameng?" Du Weihai glanced around casually and didn't see anyone, so he asked the three brothers of the Du family a soul-searching question.

"Dad..." Du Yimeng, who was sitting next to him wearing a big black coat, spoke weakly.

She was sitting here just now. When she saw the two of them come back, she was about to stand up, but her father's eyes swept over her.

She subconsciously looked down at the big black coat on herself. It was her mother's coat.

Her mother was reluctant to wear it herself, so she gave it to her, and it was very warm.

Is it because the lighting here is too dim?

But the place where she was sitting was not where there was no light!

"Da Meng?" Du Weihai turned around instantly when he heard Du Yimeng's voice and looked at the person in front of him with a confused look on his face.

Where is his pot of beautiful flowers?

Why did he only see a person wearing a big black coat and short hair?

He really didn't notice it just now. The room was full of boys with short hair. Who would care about one more?

"Da Meng, the light is too dim, I almost didn't notice you. You've lost weight, but you look more energetic." Du Weihai looked Du Yimeng up and down with a smile on his face. He was full of doubts in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

How did his daughter with long flowing hair, gentleness and grace become like this?

No matter what the reason is, he cannot change his expression or tone, otherwise it will hurt the child!

"Sister..." Du Yidonggang squeezed in front of Du Weihai and called her sister with a smile.

Even though his sister has short hair now, she still looks pretty in his eyes.

Du Weihai stared at the back of Du Yidong's head. He really wanted to slap him in the face before he even said a word!

"What are you all doing standing there? Eat..." Du's mother's shout saved Du Yidonggang's life.

The Du family's dinner was noodles, without any coarse grains mixed in. As for the vegetables, it was pork, cabbage and vermicelli stewed in a big pot, no longer the usual pattern of more vegetables and less meat.

Du's mother, who has always been frugal, only eats a meal of noodles without coarse grains when Du Yimeng comes back.

"Sister, here are the chopsticks for you. I've burned them." Lao Wu held a pair of chopsticks in his hand and handed the first pair to Du Yimeng, not the head of the family, Du Weihai.

Instead of getting angry, Du Weihai placed the first bowl of noodles in front of Du Yimeng with a smile.

"Eat it while it's hot. Your mother is really good at rolling noodles." Du Weihai said with a smile, not forgetting to flatter his wife.

"Sister, eat meat!" The third brother picked up a piece of lean meat as soon as he got the chopsticks and put it in the bowl in front of Du Yimeng. He always remembered that his sister didn't like to eat fatty meat.

"Sister, eat meat..." The next second, three pairs of chopsticks stretched out at the same time. Four more pieces of lean meat were added to the already full bowl of noodles, and it felt like the bowl could no longer hold any more.

"Okay, let's eat quickly." Du's mother's meaning was very clear, the food-picking session ended here.

The chopsticks you just picked up are clean, so there is nothing wrong with using them to pick up food for others.

Once the chopsticks are in your mouth, when you pick up food for someone else, do you let them eat it or do you not want them to eat it?

Besides, the bowl is full, where should she put the food?

Du Yimeng felt very at home listening to the familiar noise. Perhaps it was because the steam from the food on the table was too strong that made her eyes blurry.

She quickly picked up the bowl and took a big mouthful of noodles to cover up her gaffe.

"The noodles made by my mother are still the most delicious." Du Yimeng sighed. She can also make hand-rolled noodles herself.

But no matter what I do, I can’t make it taste like this. Maybe this is the taste of my mother’s food!

"If you like it, I'll make it for you tomorrow." Mother Du looked at Du Yimeng with a loving face and said, her daughter said she likes the food her mother cooks, this should be the happiest thing for a mother.

Her daughter's face was rosy, but her chin was obviously much sharper than when she left. She secretly decided to fix it for her daughter when she got back.

"Mom, tomorrow is New Year's Eve." said the fourth child.

"Shut up, even food can't shut your mouth." Mother Du turned around and glared at the fourth child fiercely. She was kissing her daughter and no one was allowed to disturb her.

Fourth child:......

His mother was right, even eating couldn't stop his mouth.

"How long will you stay this time?" When Du's mother turned around again, she became the kind and amiable old mother again.

"Twenty days in total." Du Yimeng buried her head in her meal. She didn't dare look at Du's mother, for fear of seeing disappointment in her eyes.

There are a total of twenty days of vacation. Four days were spent on the road when coming here, and it will definitely take the same amount of time when going back.

She only goes home once a year and a half, and can only stay at home for twelve days. She doesn't know when she will be back next time.

Then she remembered that she had to hold a wedding, which meant that she could not stay at home for a few days. However, it was a good thing that she was marrying next door.

As soon as she said this, there was a moment of silence in the air, and then it immediately returned to normal.

"It's okay, work is important. Eat more, you look thinner." Du's mother picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it in Du Yimeng's bowl.

"Mom, there's enough food in my bowl, you should eat too!" Du Yi dreamed that her mother had chopsticks in her hand but didn't eat. She also knew that her mother was ready to pick up food for her at any time.

She felt a little bitter in her heart, this is the love a mother has for her child.

"After I left last year, was there enough food at home?" Du Yimeng asked. She had not asked about this in the letter, and her family had never mentioned it.

"There is enough food. We couldn't buy the fixed quantity before, but now we can." Speaking of this, Du Weihai smiled again. Fortunately, his family had stored a lot of food, otherwise he would really have a hard time making ends meet.

In the second half of last year, the situation was dire. There were rations but no food to buy. Many people tried every possible means to fill their stomachs.

As a result, they were only able to survive on the simple food. The rations of the factory workers were not reduced, but some workers were worried that their families would starve to death.

He would take his own ration home to eat, and the whole family would eat one person's ration.

The workers had no energy to work on an empty stomach, so many of them were injured. Fortunately, no one was killed, which was a blessing.

Later, the factory stipulated that food could not be taken back for eating, which prevented further injuries.

They couldn't just watch the workers' families starve to death, so the factory found a way to get a batch of coarse grains and distributed them to the workers, which helped them get through it.

At the beginning of this year, there was a ration again, but not every month. But at least we didn’t starve to death, and we managed to get through it.

Du Yimeng listened to Du Weihai chattering about what happened after she left the machinery factory.

Du Weihai didn't know much, after all, he was only a Level 5 worker. At the end of last year, exactly three years had passed since he became a Level 4 worker, and he passed the assessment and officially became a Level 5 worker.

There were no technical competitions last year and this year, and he felt very sorry about that!
