Siheyuan: Domineering life

Chapter 138 Worrying About Food

Later, Yang Jun went back to the backyard to eat, and saw Yang Mei with a red face, chewing on the dough head without saying anything.

Since the news about buying a house was revealed yesterday, everyone in the family knew that Yang Mei had found a partner and was already talking about marriage, so they did not object to Yang Jun's proposal to hold an engagement banquet on the weekend.

But the way Wang Yuying frowned and thought, he knew what she was thinking.

It's nothing more than feeling sorry for the money spent on the engagement banquet.

Originally, the engagement banquet was just for the parents of both parties to sit together and have a simple meal. Now that Yang Jun made such a fuss, there were a few extra banquets for no reason. How could she not feel distressed.

"You heard it just now, so you don't need me to repeat it again, right? Let Liu Zhi bring his parents over this weekend."

Yang Jun drank the rice porridge and said without raising his head.

"Yeah." Yang Mei responded with a blushing face.

Yang Mei was happy in her heart. Since her eldest brother came back, her life has undergone earth-shaking changes. With her brother here, she doesn't have to worry about anything. First she was transferred to the office, then the house matter was solved, and even the engagement was settled. The banquet was also arranged.

Although the engagement banquet and the tail-burning banquet were combined together, she felt very happy, after all, everyone in the hospital came to celebrate.

After dinner, Yang Jun went back to his house, said hello to Yi Qiushui, and then went downstairs to the old house.

Yang Mei's engagement is a big deal and must be carefully considered with Wang Yuying.

As soon as they entered the room, they saw Yang Mei and Wang Yuying sitting in front of the Eight Immortals table with sad faces.

There are various bills and money on the table.

The two women added up the rations in the food book over and over again.

Yang Jun did not disturb them and sat quietly on the stool watching them.

Wang Yuying frowned and said: "There are still thirteen kilograms and four taels of coarse grains, and only half a kilogram of meat coupons. My family won't have enough to eat this month, so how can there be any extra food for the wedding banquet."

Yang Mei: "My brother and sister-in-law still have some rations, otherwise..."

Wang Yuying waved her hand and interrupted: "Your brother's ration was already used up when he got married. How can there be any food?"

When Yang Jun got married, he just took out various ingredients from the space. As for the food, he forgot to take it. So Wang Yuying spent all the food stamps accumulated over the years for the wedding banquet, and now she has to hold an engagement banquet for Yang Mei. , where is the excess ration.

In the past, when Yang Jun did not come back, the whole family lived on the ration of 24 kilograms of bayberry per month. These 24 kilograms of grain were not enough to eat, so they could only exchange fine noodles for stick noodles. One kilogram of fine noodles can be exchanged for three kilograms. Whole grains, so the family relied on eating whole grains to survive.

Once there is not enough food to eat, you can only go to the pigeon market to exchange for food stamps at a price several times higher, and then use the food stamps to buy food again.

A few days ago, in order to prepare for Yang Jun's wedding, the food stamps accumulated over the years were all used up. Even the quota in Yang Jun's food book was used up.

Seeing that there was still more than half a month before she could receive next month's ration, Wang Yuying became angry with worry, and the wrinkles on her forehead outlined a deep gap.

"How about going to the pigeon market to exchange for some food stamps." Yang Mei finally suggested.

"Are you crazy? Do you know how expensive food stamps are? Three times the price for a kilogram of food stamps, and then you buy food at a price that is [-]% higher than the food stamps. After going around in circles, at least You have to spend four times the price to buy food." Wang Yuying scolded.

Yang Mei couldn't hold her head up after being scolded by Wang Yuying, lowered her head and muttered: "Otherwise... let Liu Zhi handle it."

The engagement banquet is usually hosted by the man. As for why Yang Jun's engagement banquet was held at Yi Qiushui's side at that time, it was not because his family's status was not as high as others. The same reason applies. Liu Zhi's family is not as high-status as Yangmei's family, so the engagement banquet is It can only be done at the Yang family.

When Wang Yuying heard that Liu Zhi was asked to hold an engagement banquet, she was immediately furious. "Don't mention him to me. Tell me about you. Depending on your conditions, what kind of person you are looking for can't be found. You have to pick and choose, but you have to find a burden."

Wang Yuying rolled her eyes at Yang Mei, and then said: "Do you think this is an engagement banquet for you? If your brother hadn't happened to be promoted, would you have needed to host an engagement banquet? You could just get married."

Yang Mei was choked and speechless, her eyes turned red, and big tears fell down.

When Yang Jun saw this, there was a black line on his forehead. Wang Yuying was trying to attract hatred for him.

He knew that Wang Yuying was dissatisfied with Yang Mei, but she didn't say it out of love. Now she was worried about food. When she heard Liu Zhi's name, she immediately vented all her dissatisfaction on Yang Mei.

"Mom, Mom, calm down. The engagement party is the engagement party. What does it have to do with my promotion?"

Yang Jun quickly advised, taking out the food stamps and money that he had already prepared from his pocket.

"You go buy food. As for the ingredients, you don't have to worry about it."

Yang Jun thought that he could not do everything by himself. He could be responsible for the food. As for the food, he could only leave it to Wang Yuying.

After all, he was married and had more people around him. In order to reduce the chance of leaking the secrets of his space, he also tried to reduce the role of space as much as possible.

In fact, he could have given Wang Yuying food directly, but he did not do that. Firstly, he wanted to prevent his family from making random guesses, and secondly, he wanted to integrate into life as soon as possible and experience whether he could make it without the assistance of space. Life is better.

However, the ideal is full and the reality is very skinny.

After a wedding, he saw the hardships of life. He couldn't imagine whether he could organize a decent wedding without the help of space.

If you are not at home, you do not know that diesel, rice, oil, and salt are expensive.

After listening to Wang Yuying's nagging words just now, he realized how difficult it would be for ordinary people to live.

Even if you live frugally all your life, the things you save will not be enough to host a decent wedding.

After comforting Wang Yuying, Yang Jun and Yang Mei went back together.

The brother and sister came to Yang Jun's study and sat face to face. Yang Jun lit a cigarette and looked at her quietly.

He didn't know where to start, and was currently organizing his words and thinking about how to open his mouth.

Yang Jun took a long puff of cigarette, then twisted the unfinished cigarette in the ashtray, and asked with determination,

"If you are not satisfied with this marriage, I can find you a better one."

"Brother, what I like is Liu Zhi, who has nothing to do with his family. I hope you won't break us up." Yang Mei cried.

She looked at Yang Jun's determined look and thought he was trying to break them up.

Yang Mei's attitude was expected by Yang Jun. When he was in the office, he could see that Yang Mei and Liu Zhi were in love, so he would naturally not do anything to break them up.

Whatever his sister likes, he supports.

It's okay to be poor, as long as the two of them live happily after getting married, that's enough.

Yang Mei didn't have anything to worry about, but Liu Zhi didn't. After all, he still had to take care of his family. He couldn't just get married and ignore his younger brothers and sisters, right?
