When a large bowl of white flour steamed buns and a large bowl of pork and cabbage stewed with vermicelli were brought to the table, even Zhang Yuan, who had never been hungry, was stunned for a moment.

Although he is not hungry every day, he is no different from other people. He eats whole grain porridge every day, and he has not even eaten white flour since he came here!

"Come on, come on, hurry up and get dinner on the table!" Bai Xue finally brought in a plate of pickles. There was nothing else at home.

But this is better than what we eat during the Chinese New Year. Although Zhang Yuan is from Kyoto, there is a general shortage of food in this era, and there is no enough food everywhere

As soon as the four little ones heard what the elder sister said, they all climbed up on the kang and found their own places to sit down.

"Xiao Yuan! Hurry up and sit down and eat!" Bai Daliang changed his name during the cooking process, from Comrade Xiao Zhang to Xiao Yuan, and they became very close to each other.

"Hey! Uncle, I'm coming right away!" Zhang Yuan said and walked out, then quickly washed his hands and came in.

Children from the city are really particular, as you can tell by looking at those little guys just staring at the food on the table.

Finally, Zhang Yuan and Bai Xue sat near the edge of the Kang.

A meal is like a meal. Several of the little ones have never eaten vermicelli before, and this meal of vermicelli made their cheeks turn red.

I also eat big white flour steamed buns.

Zhang Yuan was also rude and turned against guests, and actually gave Baixue some vegetables.

Although Bai Daliang and his wife were curious and worried about where these expensive and delicious foods, which they usually couldn't even smell, came from, they couldn't resist the temptation and ate them all.

After everyone had eaten and cleared the table, Zhang Yuan did not leave immediately but sat down.

"Xiaoxue's cooking skills are really good. This food is even more delicious than what you get in a state-owned restaurant! This is the first time I've eaten such delicious food."

"Our Xiaoxue's cooking is delicious!" Bai Daliang followed Zhang Yuan and praised his daughter.

Bai Xue thought to herself, if you don't put enough meat in it and the boiled dishes can still be said to be delicious, then you are good at your craftsmanship!

"Unlike me, I usually cook porridge." Zhang Yuan added.

"Xiaoyuan, do you educated youths all do their own thing?" Bai Daliang asked.

"Boys and girls cook separately, but none of the four of us boys can cook..." Zhang Yuan touched his head and said.

"You can cooperate with the girls! Let the girls cook, and you boys can collect firewood for them! Kill two birds with one stone!" Bai Xue said as she sat on the North Kang.

"It's troublesome, why not just eat porridge! And I don't like to be in contact with those girls." Zhang Yuan looked at Bai Xue, as if he was explaining something to her.

Anyway, he was really hungry so he went to a state-owned restaurant to have a meal.

"Then why don't you come to our house to have a meal with us? Anyway, the food for seven people is cooked, and the food for eight people is the same! You just need to bring the rations!"

Bai Xue said this out of selfishness. Every day when she eats, she sees a handsome guy who looks like her idol eating more food! She can even eat whole grains as fine grains!

Take care of your eyes every day and live to be ninety-nine!

"Is it okay?" Zhang Yuan was already so excited that he was about to explode with joy, but he couldn't show it on his face, so he suppressed his emotions and asked.

"This..." Bai Daliang glanced at his eldest daughter, and then at his daughter-in-law, who had no objection and was just smiling, not knowing what to say.

"Of course, you don't want to eat for free, so what's wrong with exporting your own food?" Bai Xue knew what her father was hesitating about. She was already fifteen years old, so she wanted to recruit a nineteen-year-old educated youth to eat with her because she was afraid of outsiders talking nonsense.

"Great, I can get rations and give you five yuan for food every month! I'm not picky, I'll eat everything!" Zhang Yuan said and took out five yuan from his pocket. "This month's money."

Give it to you now!"

Instead of giving Bai Daliang, he handed it to Bai Xue.

Bai Xue didn't refuse and took it.

She could tell that Zhang Yuan was not short of money, and it could be seen from his clothes.

"Okay, it's getting dark, you should go back quickly! Don't let others spread lies. Remember to come over for dinner at eight o'clock tomorrow morning!" Bai Xue waved his hand.

"Okay! I'll go back first! Uncle and aunt, I'm leaving!" Zhang Yuanzhen stood up obediently, said "care" to Bai Daliang and his wife and walked out.

"Hey! Xiaoyuan! Walk slowly! Xiaoshan goes out to see you off, Brother Zhang!" Bai Daliang said.

"Okay, Dad!" Bai Rushan sent him out.

"Xiaoxue?" Wang Cuihua called out in confusion after waiting for the person to leave.

"Mom, he is my lifesaver, can you bear to watch him eat porridge every day? It's not easy when you are away from home and don't know how to cook!" Bai Xue said with an extremely sympathetic expression.

"That's true, but where did you get so many things today? It's milk powder, meat, and white flour steamed buns! Where did they come from?" Wang Cuihua asked on behalf of Bai Daliang.

"Wait a moment!" Bai Xue put on her shoes and walked out.

Soon, Bai Xue came in with a mahogany box. She had already made up her excuse and was waiting for them to ask.

"Dad, look at this!" Bai Xue said mysteriously as she put the mahogany box in front of Bai Daliang.

"This box?" Bai Daliang picked up the box and looked at it carefully.

"Do you see any difference?" Bai Xue asked.

"No...but this mahogany should be quite good wood!" Bai Daliang didn't see it, but he liked the wood of the box.

"Dad, open it! There is a hidden compartment inside this mahogany box!" Bai Xue got straight to the point and didn't mince words.

Upon hearing this, several little ones came over and watched.

Bai Ruyun also ran out to check whether the doors and windows were closed.

She is the most attentive girl.

"It's really..." Bai Daliang opened it and took a look, and was amazed

"I went to see the old lady come out today. I thought I would go to the scrapyard to find some old textbooks for Xiaoyun and Xiaoxia and the four of them. But when I came out after searching for the textbooks, I saw this box. I liked it at first sight, so I bought it.

I brought it down and carried it out. I slipped and dropped everything. I accidentally discovered this hidden compartment and opened it to take a look..."

"What did you see?" Bai Ruchuan looked at her eldest sister blankly and couldn't wait to ask.

"There is actually a small yellow croaker in it!" Bai Xue said.

"Dried fish, sister? Why didn't I see it? Did you eat it?" Bai Ruxia.

"Hahaha..." Bai Xue couldn't hold it back. Such a serious matter made her laugh out loud.

"Keep your voice down! Don't you know that no one can tell you about the dried fish in the box?" Wang Cuihua looked at Bai Ruxia and said.

"You know, I'm not that big-mouthed!"

The others looked like they couldn't help it. It seemed that the other three little ones all knew what the small yellow croaker was, but Bai Ruxia, the little fool, didn't know.

Being interrupted like this, the atmosphere became less tense.

"I went back to find the old lady, and her son happened to be back, so I asked her son to help me sell it! I sold it for 200 yuan, and there were some tickets, but not many food stamps. Five kilograms of food stamps cost 40 yuan.

Industrial stamps, one pound of sugar stamps, ten feet of cloth stamps, and two cans of milk powder stamps! I used some, bought cloth, needlework, and meat and vegetables for dinner, and the remaining one hundred and fifty yuan was all

Here it is!" Bai Xue took out one hundred and fifty yuan from his cotton-padded coat pocket, and he still had ninety-seven and a half yuan left.

"Wow, sister, is dried fish so valuable? That's a lot of money!" Bai Ruxia shouted.

"Third sister, please keep your voice down! Be careful if others come to our house and cause trouble!" Bai Rushan turned around and covered Bai Ruxia's mouth.

"That's right, Third Sister, the little yellow croaker is not dried fish, it's gold! It would be very difficult for our family if you yelled at us!" Bai Ruchuan kicked Bai Ruxia angrily.
