Chapter 12： old fashioned wrappers

Chapter 12 Old-fashioned paper-wrapped candy

"Dad, I can't finish it, so if you don't mind eating it, eat my leftover noodles too!" Bai Xue couldn't finish eating half of it.

"Don't dislike it, pour it into Dad's bowl!" Bai Daliang was still eating his own food. In fact, he could sit up, but the doctor told him not to sit up and move around if he had a concussion, so he could only lie on his side and eat with difficulty. , but it seems that it doesn't block the deliciousness of the noodles.

But it’s true. In this day and age, no one dislikes eating. As long as it is not mixed in the soil, it is really inedible. There is no reason to dislike white noodles.

Bai Xue poured half a lunch box of noodles into Bai Daliang's bowl. After waiting for a while, An Quanzi and Bai Daliang both finished eating the noodles, so she took the lunch box to clean.

On the way back, I took out a handful of old-fashioned paper-wrapped candies from the supermarket.

"Uncle Quanzi, go back and give this candy to Sister Liangliang and the three of them!" When she returned to the ward, she took out the candy and handed it to Quanzi.

There are not many, just six, and one person can get two. At this time, the candy costs a penny a piece, and she dare not take out more, but in order to thank Uncle Quanzi for helping her father send to the hospital, It's not too much for her to give a few candies.

"Don't, don't, give Xiaoyun, Xiaochuan and the others something to eat when you go back! Uncle can't take it!" An Quanzi waved his hands and refused to accept it.

After eating a big lunch box of white noodles from others, and taking too much sugar from others, he felt his bulging stomach, and he couldn't take it.

Bai Xue looked at such people, and sighed in her heart that most people in this era are still simple.

"Uncle Quanzi, I also bought my brother and sister's. This is for Sister Liangliang and Mingming. You can take it home and feed it to them. It's really difficult now. It's just a few candies. Uncle, don't be disgusted! "Bai Xue forced the candy into An Quanzi's hand.

Having said all this, An Quanzi couldn't help but refuse, so he took the candy and carefully put it in the pocket of his cotton coat.

"Okay, then uncle will bring them a few to eat! You take good care of your dad! Uncle will go back to return the ox cart first! Your second uncle should also come over later, let him send a letter back, when your dad is discharged from the hospital, uncle I'm coming to pick you up!"

"Okay! Uncle, walk slowly on the road! My dad has me here, don't worry! Help me go home and tell my mom that there is nothing wrong with my dad, and I can go back in two days!" Mrs. Bai Xue said entertained.

"Quanzi, you go back and ask your younger siblings to visit your sister-in-law at home. This kind of thing happened to her just after giving birth to two children, and she can't do well in this confinement... oh..." Bai Daliang lay on the bed and sighed.

"Don't worry, Daliang, take good care of your wounds, don't worry at home! Then I'm leaving!" An Quanzi put on his heavy hat and walked out.

Bai Daliang still looked at the door and sighed.

"Dad, get some sleep! Sleep more and your wound will heal soon. When your concussion is not so serious, we can go home to recuperate. There is the food you brought back in the morning at home, as well as the sugar I hid With two eggs, mom and younger siblings will be fine!" Bai Xue comforted him.

"Dad is fine, Xiaoxue, you also take a rest!" Bai Daliang couldn't say a thousand words, he was a stupid person to begin with.

"Okay, Dad, go to sleep and leave me alone!"

The winter sun sets early, and Bai Xue looks out. It is estimated that it is past three o'clock, and the second uncle should be here soon. She also has to find a chance to prepare fifty catties of yellow millet for Uncle Wang, after dark , also coming soon.

The black market price of fine grains is one yuan and five. She needs money now, so she can only take out fine grains. Yellow millet is not really fine grains to her.

Bai Xue stayed with Bai Daliang for a while, saw that he was asleep, got up gently and walked out.

She still has to go to the canteen of the health center to order food. It's okay for them not to eat at night, but the second uncle came from such a long distance, cold and hungry, and it was getting dark, so he must stay here. He is ready to eat.

To be honest, after looking at the virtues of the third uncle and then looking at the second uncle, it should be treated well.

When Bai Xue arrived at the canteen of the hospital, several people were ordering food in twos and threes.

"Comrade, I'll make a meal for three!" Bai Xue stepped forward and said to the younger man working in the cafeteria.

"Twenty cents for a meal ticket for one person!" The young man spoke tepidly.

Bai Xue was dumbfounded when she heard that, why does the cafeteria also need meal tickets? She only has two yuan and fifty cents in her hand, and she doesn't have any tickets.

"Comrade, can't I order a meal without a meal ticket?" Bai Xue asked cautiously.

"It's okay, but you have to bring the food yourself. You don't need a meal ticket for the dishes, and a bowl of vegetables costs 50 cents!"

Bai Xue looked at the bowl of vegetables, it was really big, enough for three people.

"What kind of dishes are there?" Bai Xue originally wanted to order.

"Tonight's dish is stewed potatoes with cabbage!" The cafeteria waiter became impatient.

Bai Xue was stunned again, just one? She was still thinking about ordering food.

Seeing that he looked a bit unhappy, she stopped asking and quietly backed out.

She had to take out some more food, and then sent it to the cafeteria to cook. She bought some food for three people to eat at night, so she couldn’t go to the state-run restaurant. As soon as the white noodles were taken out at noon, the chef would stare at them, so she couldn’t be too ostentatious.

According to what the canteen waiter said, one person needs to eat two taels of rice. She used to cook, but she never seriously weighed how much rice she eats for a meal, so let’s follow what others said. If adults eat two taels, then she will definitely Unable to finish eating, he simply weighed half a catty of rice from the supermarket space, and took out the cloth bag containing the down jacket.

Looking at the half catty of sorghum rice in her hand, she didn't dare to take fine grains, so she could only take sorghum rice.

In the future, when I have a chance, I must make a few more cloth bags for later use. This cloth bag for down jackets does not look like something that existed in this era.

Bai Xue turned around and went back, "Comrade, here is half a catty of sorghum rice, I'll buy another bowl of vegetables!" Bai Xue handed half a catty of sorghum rice to the waiter, along with fifty cents.

"Okay, come and get it in an hour!" The young waiter finished speaking and turned to do his own thing.

After Bai Xue delivered the food, she returned to the ward. There was no one in the ward except Bai Daliang, so she went over generously and lay on another hospital bed. She closed her eyes and entered the supermarket consciously. After weighing fifty catties of yellow millet She found that she couldn't carry so much food no matter what.

"What's going on? What should I do?" Bai Xue muttered subconsciously.

The next second, she found herself physically standing in the supermarket. She was so frightened that she hurriedly yelled out, and immediately returned to the lying position in the ward.

It was only then that she realized that after she entered the supermarket with her consciousness, she couldn't do too many things, and she couldn't stay there for too long. If you were moving heavy things, you had to go in with your body.

Just as she was about to stand up and go out, the second uncle appeared at the door covered in frost.

"Second Uncle..." Bai Xue hurriedly stood up to meet him.

"Is your father okay?" Bai Dajiang asked before he could take off his hat and warm up.

"My dad is fine now. He received a few stitches for the wound on the back of his head. He just finished hanging the bottle and fell asleep."

"That's good, that's good!" Bai Dajiang said and walked in.
