I was reborn and returned to the age of three and a half. Did my mother also have a heart transplant

There are more than a dozen square tables arranged in an orderly manner in the lobby. There is a window at the innermost part and some slogans are painted on the wall.

Mo Yan followed the crowd and watched what the people in front of her ordered.

Only then did I notice that there were two blackboards above the window, on which were written what was served that day.

Mo Yan was glad that although the end of the world had come, the inheritance of writing had not been cut off. Otherwise, she would most likely have become illiterate if she came from the future.

"Give me one serving each of braised pork, chopped pepper fish head, stir-fried kidney, and roasted eggplant. And two pounds of rice."

When Mo Yan said this, everyone around was stunned.

Even the girl with pigtails who was nonchalantly ordering food at the window raised her head.

I took a look at Mo Yan's appearance. She had a cloth wrapped on her head and was holding a baby girl who was so thin that only a pair of big eyes could be seen. Next to her was a skinny and dirty boy.

His clothes were all covered with patches, and the trouser legs and knees were also patched again and again. What was even more outrageous was his feet. He didn't even have a pair of cloth shoes, but straw sandals.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like they are fleeing.

Although their Luoxia Commune was a famously poor commune, it was rare to find a commune as poor as this mother and her two daughters.

In other words, what gave her the courage to bring her children to a state-owned restaurant when she was so poor that she couldn't even find a patched piece of clothing in the commune?

This woman doesn't think she can eat here without paying for the meal, does she?

"Sister-in-law, do you have money? This is public property, and we don't sell on credit. Give me the money first, and then go to the window and wait for the food."

Pigtail's tone wasn't very nice, but she didn't say anything bad either, mainly because Mo Yan looked so pitiful.

Plus, the little girl in his arms was also staring at him with her eyes wide open.

The girl with pigtails thought of her brother's niece who was so plump and fat. They were almost the same age, but the child in front of her looked like she was going to die at any moment.

I couldn't say any harsh words to drive people away.

"We have the money, bastard!"

Mo Yan could already smell the increasingly fragrant aroma of food.

Oh my god! It smells better than the food cooked by Pei Mingren and Wang Cuihong. She can't help but drool.

Pei Dongdong quickly opened the small bamboo bag she was holding tightly in her arms, and then asked the braided girl crisply, "Sister, how much money and bills do you want?"

Pigtails was stunned for a moment. She thought the mother and her two daughters were begging, but she never expected they could actually come up with money.

I did a quick calculation: "Red-braised pork is 3 yuan, chopped pepper fish head is 5 yuan, stir-fried kidney is 3 yuan, and roasted eggplant is 2 yuan. Rice is free, but it requires 2 jin of food coupons. The total is 8 yuan, plus 3 jin of food coupons."

"Nine and a half?"

Before Mo Yan could say anything, Zhuzi, who came in right next to Mo Yan, screamed.

He didn't know how much 9 yuan was, but the largest denomination of bill he had ever owned was a dime.

This was given to him by his grandfather during the Chinese New Year, and he kept it for a long time and was reluctant to spend it.

Grandpa said that it takes 10 dimes to exchange for 1 dollar.

A meal now costs more than 9 yuan. Poor Zhuzi tried his best to count with his fingers, but he still had no idea how many dimes it would cost.

Pei Dongdong just thought it was so cheap and the prices were really touching.

She knew how big the meals were at this time.

A large table of dishes, mostly main dishes, cost less than 10 yuan. If this were in the afterlife before she died, 10 yuan would not even be enough to buy a plate of fried shredded potatoes.

The little fellow carefully used his little hands to feel around in his little bamboo bag.

She had sorted out all the money and bills before going to bed last night.

She divided the largest denomination 10-yuan notes into small stacks of 10 and put them at the bottom of her small bamboo bag.

All that was left on top were Mao's banknotes. The 50-cent notes were put into a bundle of 50 cents, the one-yuan notes were put into a stack of one yuan, and the two-yuan notes and the five-yuan notes were all arranged together in order.

At the top are food coupons, cloth coupons and other bills. Those that are about to expire are placed on the top, and those with dates remaining are placed at the bottom.

At this moment, Pei Dongdong took only a dozen seconds to take out a 5-yuan note, a 2-yuan note, and two 1-yuan bills and handed them to the girl with pigtails first.

"Sister, here is 9 yuan. I'll give you the change for the food coupons and 5 cents!"

As he spoke, the little fellow continued to rummage in the small bamboo bag with a serious look on his face as if from others.

After another ten seconds, she took out five very old one-cent bills and three food coupons that would expire in less than ten days and handed them to Pigtail.

Even the one with the pigtails is numb.

The people who wanted to order food later were also confused.

They really didn't expect that this mother and her two daughters could really afford so much money for meals.

"Sister, is that enough?"

Seeing that she didn't move, Pei Dongdong looked at her with surprise in his big eyes.

Pigtails finally came to his senses, "Ahem, just in time!"

Then he raised his voice and shouted to the kitchen, "One portion each of braised pork, chopped pepper fish head, stir-fried kidney, and roasted eggplant, and 2 kilograms of rice!"

"Go sit at the table over there. When the food is ready, I'll call you and you can come over here and get it."

"Thank you, sister!" Pei Dongdong smiled sweetly at the girl with pigtails.

The girl with the pigtails had to smile and said nothing, while Mo Yan, holding Pei Dongdong, walked impatiently to a table closest to the food window and sat down.

"Aunt, Aunt! Niuniu, you, you guys——"

The pillars are tangled and broken.

Aunt and Niuniu gave away so much money just to eat a few dishes here. No wonder grandpa never brought him in here. It turns out that eating here is so expensive.

How will Aunt and Niu Niu be able to live from now on?

My aunt doesn’t even have a decent pair of shoes. This much money is enough to buy her a pair of small leather shoes!

"Zhu Zi, after dinner, I need to buy a lot of things. You have to help me get them!"

"Don't worry, auntie. I'm very strong. Just give them to me!"

When Zhuzi heard that Mo Yan had something for him to do, he immediately puffed out his chest and looked like he'd leave it to me.

After answering, I felt conflicted again when I thought about spending so much money on food.

Pei Dongdong found it funny to see his eyebrows were about to get knotted, "Zhu Zi, there will be delicious food soon, why are you unhappy? Don't you want to eat?"

Zhuzi's face was bitter. How could he not want to eat? But the meal cost only 9 yuan, so expensive that he dared not eat it.

My grandfather once said that we should not take advantage of others. Although their family is poor, we should not lose our ambition.

"Aunt, 9 yuan for a meal is really too much. You and sister Niuniu still have to make a living in the future. You should use this money to buy cloth and shoes at the supply and marketing cooperative instead of spending it on food here!"

Mo Yan saw that he was about eight or nine years old and knew how to say these things. It was true that children from poor families grow up early.
