"Brother, didn't you say that only foreign language majors have to take the English test? I can't learn English well no matter what.”
An Hui stuck out her tongue and said mischievously.
"Even if you don't get into the foreign language institute, you still want to study abroad in the future. Don't give me an excuse to be lazy. If you don't study hard, I'll beat you up.”
"I don't want to hit you."
Ever since An Hui came to Tian Shui Wai, she had become more cheerful day by day, and her mental state had also become better day by day.
He had a good meal and a good place to live in the tin shui wai. His hair had gone from dry in the past to shiny black now.
Her small face was flushed red and filled with protein, making her look very pretty.
"You hit my weak spot. Hurry up and cook. There's a piece of double-edged pork in the kitchen. Make half of it into braised pork and the other half into braised pork with preserved vegetables.”
"Alright, I also got some taro lotus (stem of wild taro) and white cauliflower (a wild vegetable unique to Guangdong Province) from the farm. I'll stir-fry them later.”
"Okay, go ahead."
Only Liu Jun and the others lived far away from the village. Otherwise, they wouldn't dare to "build" this place.
It should be known that there weren't many opportunities for rural people to eat meat. If you cooked meat at home, the fragrance of the meat would spread to the neighbors 'noses. It couldn't be hidden at all.
It was okay to cook meat once in a while. If it was like Liu Jun and the others, they would have braised pork and stir-fried pork every three to five days.
The neighbors would be jealous and report you.
As mentioned earlier, it was not easy for farmers to get some meat tickets. There were only three ways for people who often ate meat.
First, the butcher was your relative, and he would often give you some meat.
However, there wouldn't be too many of such routes.
Who didn't lack meat to eat now? The butcher who sold meat in the butcher shop was more arrogant than the officials in the government in this era. Whoever wanted to buy more meat had to come to their door.
Second, the village kills the pigs
In the 1960s and 1970s, there were many political changes. One moment, farmers were allowed to raise pigs, chickens, and ducks, and the next moment, they were not allowed to raise them at all.
Most of the time, farmers were generally allowed to raise no more than five chickens and two pigs.
The chicken belonged to the farmer, but the pig was different.
In order to support the city's meat supply, farmers raised pigs. After the pigs were sold, they had to send the pigs to the purchasing station, and half of them were handed over to the country for free.
As for the other half, you can convert it into money and bring it back, or you can bring back the meat. It's up to the farmer to decide.
However, very few people would bring back half of their pork. Most people would leave one or two catties of meat for themselves and convert the rest into money.
Therefore, other than during the New Year, it was rare to see farmers eating meat in the countryside.
Third, from the black market
There was no need to explain too much. If the source of the meat was not legal and was reported, it would be confiscated and criticized. In serious cases, they might even be treated as speculators and be charged with speculation.
In a simple summary, he said," There must be something wrong with people who eat meat often. You can report it to the police."”
This was also the reason why Liu Jun didn't dare to bring more meat back when he was still staying at Zhiqing Dian.
After he used up all the meat he had as a cover, he could only think of ways to get some fish and crabs from the sea and river to nourish An Hui's body.
This was not something that could be eaten alone. Those who saw it would have a share!
Now, it was a separate house and far from the village. There was no need to worry about the fragrance of the meat being smelled by others.
"Brother, we've been eating stewed pork ribs, stewed pork trotters, braised pork, and stir-fried pork over and over again recently. Do you think I've gotten fat from eating too much?”
Liu Jun took a sip of the braised pork soup and put a mouthful of rice into his mouth. After chewing, he said,"How are you fat? You're round and smooth. However, you really have to control your appetite. If you continue to eat like this, anyone with eyes can tell that you're eating well.”
"But this fatty meat is too delicious. I can't control myself from eating it.”As she spoke, An Hui stuffed another piece of fat meat into her mouth."Brother, you shouldn't buy meat for the time being.”
"Alright, from now on, we'll have meat and seafood once a week. The rest will be vegetables with braised pork with preserved vegetables.”
"Yes!"
After dinner, An Hui made herself a cup of milk powder and a pot of tea for Liu Jun.
In order to balance An Hui's nutrition, Liu Jun also got a few cans of milk powder. Of course, they came from the other side of the river. If he wanted to get milk powder in China, he could only buy it through the black market.
Liu Jun had tried a can of domestic milk powder last time. It didn't taste very good, but the ingredients were very practical. It was absolutely natural and had no ingredients.
"An Hui, I haven't asked you yet. What major do you plan to study in the future?”
After dinner, Liu Jun and An Hui enjoyed the cool in the courtyard. Liu Jun planned to discuss life with An Hui.
"Are there any majors that you can study so that you won't be poor?”An Hui asked her soul.
"No major can guarantee that you won't be poor in the future. If you want to live a better life in the future, you can choose to study economics. If you study economics, you can choose to go into business or politics in the future. No matter which direction you choose, it won't make your life too bad.”
"Business? Can you still do business?"
"Of course, the market economy will open up sooner or later. Look at how scarce the people's resources are under the planned economy.”
"Brother, do you want me to go into business or politics?”
