My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 385 Food Bank
After returning from the cemetery, Yang's mother and others immediately started preparing lunch. Because of the power outage, the natural gas was also cut off early, so they could only use the coal stove for cooking.

In order to save money, many families simply set up a stove in the kitchen. The south is mountainous, and the most indispensable thing is all kinds of firewood.

There are even many people who make a living by chopping firewood.

The staple food at noon is baguette.

There are also five other dishes, one braised snake meat, one stewed dried cabbage with dried shrimp, one fried mushroom with bean sprouts, one steamed salted fish, and finally a pot of seaweed soup.

The production of kelp has greatly increased in the past two years, and it can be eaten in most cities across the country. It is comparable to the national delicacy of the new era.

Second only to the baguette of the future.

After lunch, Yang Jianbang was going to lead everyone to the "underground world", but Yang's mother did not go with him, but chose to stay and watch the house.

"Mom, it's so hot in the room, and you are so old, what if you get heatstroke?"

Yang Lina said worriedly.

"Mom has a fan and a big teapot, so I won't suffer from heatstroke."

Mother Yang is very confident. The reason why she doesn't want to go out is mainly because she is worried about the hundreds of catties of food stockpiled at home.

This time, if her daughter's family hadn't come over, she wouldn't even want to go to the cemetery. Even if she had to go out occasionally, she would ask her daughter-in-law to come back on leave.

Lele took the initiative to take Yang's mother's arm:
"Grandma, you can go with us!"

Yang's mother patted Lele's head and said, "Grandma is getting old, and she has been sitting in the car all morning. It's really boring. Go and play by yourself and have fun."

Yang Lina persuaded a few words, but finally had to give up.

After going out, she looked at her brother: "Doesn't Mom usually go out?"

"Sister, there are more than 500 catties of grain at home. Mom is not at ease. Sometimes in the middle of the night, I have to get up to take a look."

Yang Jianbang explained with a wry smile.

"Can't you think of a way?" Yang Lina frowned.

Chai Han interjected, "Why didn't you think about it? There is a special food bank in the city, and we want to store food in it, but Mom refuses to agree."

So-called food banks, almost invisible on the coast, are common in the interior.

Because various emergencies will occur during the transportation of grain, the farther the distance, the greater the risk of accidents, so a number of "permanent warehouses" need to be established locally.

It helps a lot in maintaining stability.

"Food Bank? Is there any interest?"

Yang Lina asked curiously.

"There is no interest." Chai Han shook his head, "But you can get food at any time, and you don't have to bear the loss of food."

"What if the food can't be taken out?"

"No, this is not a joke, it has the national reputation endorsement, no matter what, it is impossible for the higher-ups to joke about this kind of thing.

That's why our mother is worried, and would rather believe rumors than the country.If you want me to say, it’s better to deposit it for bank insurance, but I’m more worried about leaving it at home. "

Based on the experience of his previous life, Xu Dong helped to persuade:

"My brother and sister are right, the food bank is set up by the state, and the higher-ups won't make fun of the country's reputation unless the whole country collapses.

At that point, no matter how much food is stored, it is useless.

Wife, go back and persuade your mother-in-law to save the food in the bank quickly. The old man tenses up every day, which is not good for his health. "

"Understood, I will persuade you tonight."

Regarding her husband's judgment, Yang Lina never doubted it. The matter was before her. If it wasn't for her husband, their family wouldn't have such a good life now.

"Thank you, big sister!"

Chai Han quickly expressed his gratitude. This matter has troubled their family for several months, and the sooner it is resolved, the sooner they can feel at ease.

"You're welcome, we're all doing it for Mom's good!"

……

On Mother Yang's side, after sending a group of people out, she turned on the radio casually, waving the cattail leaf fan, and drinking the black tea brought by her daughter, not to mention how comfortable she was.

It is said that raising children can prevent old age. In her opinion, daughters can also prevent old age, and they are more caring.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"Dong dong dong..."

"Who is it?" Mother Yang got up to open the door.

"Old Xu, it's me, Old Chen."

It was the upstairs neighbor again, and Mother Yang opened the door.

Aunt Chen has a good nose, and immediately smelled the smell of meat after entering the room.

"Old Xu, where's your daughter and son-in-law? Why aren't you at home?"

"They couldn't stay at home and went out to play."

"Have you eaten meat at noon? Your daughter is really filial. Every time she comes here, she packs big and small bags."

Aunt Chen said enviously.

Mother Yang said modestly: "What's the use of filial piety? Their family is far away in Yanjing, and they don't come back once a year."

"The distance is indeed far."

Mother Yang brought a small bench for the old neighbor. The living room was too hot, only the bedroom to the north was slightly cooler.

"The freshly brewed tea, would you like a cup?"

"What tea? Why does it smell so good?"

"It's dark tea, I don't understand, let's make do with it!" Mother Yang poured a cup of tea for the other party.

Aunt Chen knows the goods: "It's a good thing, you are still lucky."

"Try it quickly."

"It smells so good!" Mrs. Chen drank it all in one gulp.

Mother Yang refilled a cup of tea for the other party, and asked casually, "Old Chen, what can you do to see me?"

"Staying bored at home, I want to chat with you."

Aunt Chen still used the same rhetoric.

Yang's mother actually understood in her heart that every time this old man came over, he really had no other purpose, just to rub their radio and drinking water.

Especially drinking water, every time she comes here she has to drink a big jug, she is very skeptical, the other party is usually at home and doesn't drink water at all, so if she wants to drink water, she will come to their house for a visit.

Regardless of the inconspicuousness of this water, if you save it and sell it on the black market, you can earn at least 30 to [-] yuan a day, which is much easier than working as a temporary worker at the post office.

The reason why Mother Yang didn't expose the other party.

First of all, their family's financial conditions are not bad. Relying on their daughter's support, their standard of living is definitely one of the best in the entire community.

It is impractical to eat meat every day, but it is still acceptable to come back every two or three days.

Secondly, some time ago, this old man had just sent a white-haired man to a black-haired man. His only son died of illness, leaving behind orphans and widows.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law could not find any jobs at all.

She probably had no choice but to come up with the "coquettish operation" of making money by rubbing water. She just didn't care about it.

In the end, since the death of his wife, Yang's mother was very uncomfortable. It is good to have someone to chat with, and the water should be regarded as the chat fee.

"Old Chen, has your little He found a job yet?"

Aunt Chen shook her head: "It's not so easy to find a job now!"

"Chai Han and his post office are recruiting temporary workers, why don't you let Xiao He try?"

Mother Yang also wanted to help out because she saw the other party being pitiful, and the two of them chatted for several months, and they did chat a little.

"Really? That's great." Aunt Chen was overjoyed.

"Don't be in a hurry to be happy. The work of the post office is a bit heavy. It's best for Xiao He to be mentally prepared."

Mother Yang reminded.
