Chapter 142 The Depressing Feeling

A box of clam oil, a rubber band (small bag), an army green satchel, and a hoe.

What Luo Cheng didn't expect was that he would sign in for something like this this time, without any food at all. Clam oil and rubber bands are free of charge, and the clam oil is free of charge. However, people nowadays don’t pay attention to maintenance, and they are not willing to buy even a small box of clam oil that costs seven cents. The main reason is that although the unit price is not high, the quantity is not large, and it can only be applied for a few days with the size of a clam.

But the hoe is okay and will be useful for planting things in the yard later. This military green satchel seems to be the same as his. In this era, this thing is only relatively practical. If we reach the era of educated youth, the value of this bag will be comparable to LV. Many students and educated youth like this military green bag.

At the supply and marketing cooperative, Luo Cheng bought five more boxes of clam oil before leaving. It happened to be cold, so I gave one to each of the two sisters. If I add it to the system, my mother, grandma, and my sister-in-law who have just entered the house will receive one each when I go home tomorrow, and the total cost is only 35 cents.

But if you think about it carefully, stick noodles are only five cents a pound, and if you use this thing every day, you will need several boxes a month. Of course, ordinary people generally use it sparingly and don't use it when they don't go out or when it's not windy outside.

When Luo Cheng came home, he gave a box of clam oil to Xiaoyu and Shishi. The two girls were naturally surprised. The supply and marketing cooperative in the town also had this thing, but no one was willing to buy it. They said that only people in the city were willing to use this thing.

"Xiaoyu, bring over the leftover peach cake from the day before yesterday. I will take it back to my hometown to give it to my family to try tomorrow morning."

As Luo Cheng said this, he took out the rubber band from the small bag and gave half of it to Shishi to keep for them to tie their hair. The rest will be taken back to my hometown and given to my family.

Luo Xiaoyu nodded, took out the peach cake from the room and handed it to Luo Cheng.

"Why are there five more? There should only be four left."

"Shishi and I couldn't bear to eat. We only ate one."

Hearing this, Luo Cheng remembered that the last time he gave them tea eggs, they were reluctant to eat them. The two of them ate one together the next day, and the other one was given to Dai Qianqian. Naturally, Dai Qianqian ate with the other three people.

Obviously I can't bear to eat it myself, but it's very generous to give it to others. Luo Cheng once heard some people say that in the 1980s and 1990s, young people bought peach cakes for the elderly, and the elderly would only taste one piece at most. The more delicious the food, the more reluctant they were to eat it. Just leave it there, and whenever a guest or child comes, I will give this to the child. Children at that time didn't have much to eat. This peach cake has been stored for a long time and is no longer crispy, but it still tastes very sweet and fragrant. Children at that time loved to eat it.

Now Luo Cheng discovered that it was not because he was old that he was reluctant to eat, but because he had been poor and suffered a lot, and he was reluctant to eat something delicious. Luo Cheng felt that his two younger sisters would definitely be like this when they get older, because if they eat something now and taste it, they will put it away and save it for later. Maybe, you might want to save it for the New Year.

Luo Cheng took out a piece and gave it to Xiaoyu, asking her to pack it up. Just bring four yuan back with you. From now on, my brother will be here to get this for you. If you run out of food and want to eat it, I will get it for you again.

"Brother, be careful, there will be foam on the floor."

Peach cake is fried, with a layer of fine powder particles on the surface. There would be a lot of foam on it as soon as I took it with my hands, but Luo Cheng felt that he was very careful, Xiao Yu still said that some foam fell on the ground.

"No, Shishi, did you see it?"

"I saw it, a lot of grains fell."

Well, Jian Shishi said the same thing, maybe it was too casual just now. But a little bit of foam, this is too fussy. So much so that he wanted to brush it off on his hands but didn't dare to do it in front of them. This shot may show a sin.

In front of them, Luo Cheng licked the foam on his hands and asked them to get food. He also told them that the factory would clean up the areas where chickens, ducks and pigs were raised tomorrow, but they would have to wait a few days before going to work and build some sheds. We also need to build a small wooden house specifically for cooking pig food. This pig food cannot be cooked in the factory canteen kitchen.

Xiaoyu and Shishi nodded happily. It doesn't matter if they wait for a few days, as long as they have work. And it was 18.5 yuan a month. The two of them calculated that based on the work points in rural areas, they would not be able to earn this much in several months. However, work points in rural areas can be used to buy grain when the grain is harvested. They could only receive money, and then the eldest brother said that the factory would provide them with some meal stamps.

Because he had to drive to Longyang Town tomorrow, Luo Cheng washed up and went to bed early after dinner. But unfortunately, I didn't fall asleep right away while lying on the bed. My hormones were agitated, and I fantasized about having sex (just kissing) with Dai Qiqian for a long time before I fell asleep.

Luo Cheng woke up early the next morning. After washing himself, he realized that there was still an uneaten three-fresh bun in his system. These days, I eat porridge every morning. At first, I thought it was nothing, but now Luo Cheng feels tired of it. I might as well go to the breakfast shop to sign in again today. The taste and texture of the food signed in by the system are really not bad. Luo Cheng thinks that if he can make the buns and steamed buns provided by the system and open a breakfast shop in the future, he can at least be a good one. It’s sold in an internet celebrity store, but I don’t think it’s too much to compare with a certain dog. Five yuan for a bun is not too much.

It's cold, I get up early in the morning now, and it's not as bright as before. Luo Cheng shouted to his sister's room that he would not make breakfast today. He would buy breakfast and bring it back to them. If they wanted to drink porridge, they would eat it with steamed buns and fried dough sticks, and they would cook it themselves. He would buy it and set off on their own.

Not long after, Luo Cheng came to the bun shop.

"System, sign in."

"Sign in successfully and get the items, three pan-fried buns, one fresh meat bun, one beef bun, one bean paste bun, two flower rolls, one fish-flavored shredded pork bun, and one corn on the cob (cooked)."

Looking at the items signed in by the system, it is the same as last time. There are many varieties, but the quantity is too small. According to the grain conversion, it is not as cost-effective to sign in at the grain store. But I can't help it. The taste is good. If you come here to check in once in a while, just treat it as a treat.

After buying a few extra vegetarian buns and fried dough sticks, Luo Cheng left and went back. He wanted to buy more to take back to his hometown for his parents and grandma to try, but he really couldn't spend the food stamps indiscriminately. There weren't many left. If there were more food stamps, I won’t go to the grain store to sign in several times in a row.

After going back and putting the breakfast he brought for his sister on the table, Luo Cheng set off. These fish-flavored shredded pork buns must be the flavored buns of later generations. There is nothing like this in this era, so I missed it and made it. There is also the three fresh buns from last time. They are quite big when you take them out. When you take a big bite, you can see the ingredients: ham, mushrooms, quail eggs and meat.

A few mouthfuls of a steamed bun, Luo Cheng now eats a lot, and feels like he has a good appetite for anything he eats. After making two steamed buns, I made a vegetarian steamed bun and fried dough sticks that I bought. I felt like I could still eat it, but I didn't eat anymore. I kept the buns in my system to slowly satisfy my craving.

On the way back to Longyang Town, Luo Cheng felt something was wrong. Not long after leaving the city, he saw a few beggars on the road. When my younger brother got married last time, my father said that early winter was approaching and many beggars had already died. The elderly beggars in the town are basically gone.

But now, beggars can be seen in this remote place with no shops. Of course, they are all going to the city. And in the woods beside the road, I saw a few beggars lying motionless. He was not young, and although his clothes were shabby, they were cleaner than the beggars he had seen before.

Along the way, from time to time he saw a person lying down on both sides of the road, curled up together, which made Luo Cheng feel a little depressed. I don’t know if I’m falling asleep because it’s still early, or if I’ve fallen asleep forever.

I went home to see my grandma, and the joy of visiting my family in the car was gone. The wild rabbit that was previously signed in the system was also put in a bag by Luo Cheng and released. The bag moved from time to time.

Heading east, two hours later, Luo Cheng arrived in town. When we arrived at the town, we felt a lot better, especially from the intersection into the town, we didn’t see any beggars anymore.

As before, when the car reaches the intersection, it has to pull over and walk in. The car arrived, and many people came out to watch. But they all gave Luo Cheng an indescribable strange feeling, and many people looked a little indifferent.

Luo Cheng got out of the car and walked towards the corridor. Within a few steps, he saw a woman washing something with a wooden bucket outside the room where Luo Cheng and his sister used to live.

"Brother~~sister-in-law!"

"Brother, brother, you are back."

Qin Ru was cleaning some underwear and the like, thinking about something in her mind, and didn't notice anyone coming. And it turned out that Luo Bing's eldest brother was back.

"Brother, please wait. Mom, grandma, Bingzi's eldest brother is back."

Seeing that Luo Cheng was back, Qin Ru put down what she was washing and immediately stood up and shouted towards the main room.

In just about ten seconds, my mother and grandma were out.

"Oh, my dear grandson, why are you back again? Those two girls are here with you."

Grandma looks good and is quite energetic. This made Luo Cheng very happy. The last time Bingzi got married, he brought the remaining eggs for his grandma to replenish his health. It looked like he was eating them.

"Xiaoyu and the others didn't come. I came back this time because I had some things to do. I didn't bring Xiaoyu and the others with me. If you miss them, grandma, when I get back, let them take the shuttle bus back to see you."

"What are you two girls thinking about in a movie? Don't waste your money by taking the shuttle bus. Grandma will be extremely happy to have your eldest grandson back."

Luo Cheng smiled and nodded. This is what his grandma loves. She is particularly partial to herself. This is also the reason why he always wants to be filial to her.

"Mom, dad and brother went to work in the brigade again?"

"Well, I'll just plant the fields now, and while the weather isn't completely cold yet, I'll plant more cabbages and radishes."

"Mom, do you know where you are working? I will call my father and brother back and tell them something."

"Brother, I know where they are working. I can call them."

"Then~~ I'm sorry to trouble my sister-in-law."

"No trouble, brother, you can call me Aru."

To be called sister-in-law and sister-in-law, to be honest, it is a bit too formal in the countryside. Qin Ru thought that it would be enough for her eldest brother to call her Aru like everyone else.

But don’t think that the word Aru will make you quieter. Whether it’s a rural area or an urban area, people always like to have the word ‘ah’ after their names. Aru and Aruya, with the addition of the word ah, no matter how quiet and delicate they are, they immediately become rustic.

For example, Zhao Qian, here, might be called Qian, Qian, Qian. It is obviously a very feminine and elegant name, but she shouts it as if she owes something.

Seeing that his sister-in-law had gone to call for help, Luo Cheng told his mother that he would bring back a live wild rabbit and let him kill it when the soldiers came back. He also brought some small things with him, so he went back to the car to get them.

Mom nodded. When grandma saw Luo Cheng turning around to get something, she suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but look at the woodshed.

"Mom, let's talk about it when Bingzi and the others come back. Since Nariko is back, we have to tell him about this."

Mom said to grandma, after living together for so many years, she could understand her thoughts with the look on her face.

Grandma sighed, God is going to cause evil, and there is nothing we can do about natural disasters.

It’s 2:30, and I’m mainly writing this because I woke up after sleeping for a while. Abnormal sleep can easily lead to mental breakdown, so I have to lie down.

When I write something like this, I am always afraid of being blocked. One day, my update suddenly became unstable. Maybe the chapter was reviewed.

Beggar: We are dying. If readers don’t reward us, the author is really writing us to death.
