Reborn in 1940 and survived until the new century

"That's fine, but don't bring too many. Not to mention other people, in our yard, apart from Uncle Zhang and his men, no one else may be trustworthy."

“You are absolutely right, so let’s take a small amount at a time. As long as it’s not too much, they won’t know.

Also, do you think we should prepare something else?"

"what to prepare?"

"Look, it's just the beginning of spring after the Chinese New Year, it's the right time to raise chickens, ducks and geese. Should we raise some chickens?"

"You can?"

"Of course you can't. Don't underestimate me, okay? When we were in the orphanage, Aunt Zhang taught us how to raise chickens!"

"In that case, then let's raise it. We have money anyway, and it will be more convenient to eat the eggs or kill a chicken later.

But now there are several families living in one yard, I don’t think we can just keep them there, we can only build a chicken coop or chicken cage when the time comes, otherwise there will be endless lawsuits.”

"Yes, if there weren't so many people living here, I would really like to plant a vegetable garden in the yard so that it would be more convenient to eat vegetables later."

"Don't even think about it. It's not realistic at all."

“Isn’t it unrealistic?

But when we buy vegetables later, we can also buy more vegetables. If we can’t finish them at one time, can’t we dry them into dried vegetables?

It’s better than having no vegetables to eat in winter, and having to eat either cabbage or radish every day. Just think about it, what?”

“It’s true. Thinking about that scene, my mouth suddenly feels tasteless.

In that case, let's go back and prepare slowly. I guess when there aren't many vegetables in the winter, we can always change the taste.

We don’t need to ask for too much, as long as it’s edible.”

"Yes, by the way, can you fish?"

"how?

Do you want to eat fish?"

"It's not bad, but sometimes it's a bit troublesome to clean up!"

"Yes, but no matter how hard it is to clean fish, it is still meat, right?"

"So I ask you, can you fish?"

“Yes, but the level is not that good?

Only two or three times out of ten can you catch a fish! "

"That's fine. When we have nothing to do on Sunday, why don't we go fishing in the nearby river?"

"how?

So you can fish?"

"That's right. Back when I was in the orphanage, I learned a lot of survival skills from others."

"Then we'll just wait and see?"

"Okay, just wait for the fish!"

"So I'll just wait?"

"Don't worry, I will let you eat fish.

Now that we are married, we can’t always eat in the cafeteria, so we should cook our own meals. There is one thing we must discuss.”

"you say?"

"how to say?

It’s not that I can’t bear to part with those things, I just feel that way!

There is no need for us to pretend to be so generous as a couple!"

"Pretending to be generous?"

"yes?

You see, there are four families living in our yard at the moment. Except for us and Uncle Zhang and his family, the other two families have children, and these two families have quite a few children.

It’s impossible that every time you make something delicious at home, you have to share it with others, right?

If this were given to Uncle Zhang and the others, I would have no objection at all.

But you've also seen that since we decided to move in, not only the old lady in the upper room, but also the couple living in the south room have said a lot of sour words to us, and I don't like this!"

"Don't say you don't like it. I don't like it either. If we weren't getting married today, I really wouldn't want to have too much contact with them."

"In that case, we can't just follow their words just because we are young and thin-skinned."

"Don't worry about that. I'm not that lazy."

"I know this. I'm just afraid that when the time comes, the children of the two families will see us at home and start a quarrel when we eat something delicious. The other party will use the children as an excuse."

"What's this?

I'm not their father, why should I care about that?"

"True, but we still need to be more careful."

"You're right. Whether it's the house we live in or the small kitchen outside, we have to lock them when the time comes."

"That's true."

From that day on, the couple would lock the door of their room whenever they left the yard, whether they were going to work or coming home from get off work.

As for whether the other party has any objections, that is their own business.

Another thing is that on Sundays when I don’t have to work, I am actually busier than on working days.

It’s not that I’m going out to play, but I really have something to do.

I just came back from outside and heard the wife of Dong Gang, the family living in the south room, talking there.

"You two are really interesting. Every Sunday, you either go fishing or pick wild vegetables. If you don't know, you two would think you don't have jobs.

In our courtyard, besides Lao Zhang's family, the combined salary of you two is the highest, so why do you have to act like you can't make ends meet?"

"Sister-in-law Dong, what do you mean by this?

Don't we just take advantage of our time off from work to dig some wild vegetables and catch a few fish?

This isn't anything illegal, so why is it not allowed?

Or, with just a few wild vegetables and a few fish, you would never envy them anywhere else?

Isn't that right?

If you go to the roadside, you will find patches of wild vegetables everywhere. If you want to eat them, you can find them everywhere. Considering your time, you can dig more than a basket, let alone a basket.

As for the fish, isn’t that even simpler?

If you don’t want to spend a few cents, can’t you just go fishing in the river?

No one is stopping you, what are you saying here?"

"I?"

"Sister-in-law Dong, I'm really sorry?

We have been busy outside for most of the day and haven't even had a meal, let alone a sip of water. We are really thirsty now, so we will go back and drink some water.

Unlike you at home, where you prepare meals early without having to worry about anything, we are still hungry and thirsty.

If you have anything to say, we can talk about it when we are free that day."

After saying that, he ignored the other person and went about his own business. As for how she was doing, he was too lazy to pay attention to her.

I had just taken a few steps when I heard the other party say.

"Tsk, isn't it just fishing?

What's so great about it?

When you have to eat dead fish and rotten shrimp, it’s better to cut a piece of meat and eat it.”

When I heard her talking about dead fish and rotten shrimp, I wanted to tell her that even if she wanted to eat it, she couldn't even eat it?

As for the meat, isn’t it under the basket?

It is said that within a month, the couple took a car to the northern suburbs at least twice, not for any other reason but to buy food.
