After returning from Fengtai, Fang Yan did not leave the house until the 15th day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival.
Because after the sun rose that day.
It rained and snowed for the next few days.
The weather had cooled down, and it was wet everywhere.
Sitting at home by the fire and reading became his daily routine for the past few days.
The temperature remained the same even after classes officially started on the 16th day of the first lunar month.
However, he had returned to his previous life of studying.
It was worth mentioning that in the courtyard house, Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li's blind date was interrupted by Fang Yan.
The Yan family found another family from the countryside in Yanjiao.
After the girl's family came to the Yan family to take a look, they were quite satisfied.
It was said that they were preparing to get married.
It was said that spring rain was as precious as oil.
This spring of 1960 seemed to be about to rain all the year round.
The drizzling rain mixed with the scattered snowflakes fell on the city.
The snow that could be seen everywhere before could no longer remain. It melted into the rain and disappeared without a trace.
Today was the 23rd day of the first lunar month, and it was raining.
On this rainy and snowy day, students would rather stay in the classroom for the whole day.
The rain outside the window hit the stone path to the school cafeteria.
The entire field was covered in dirty water.
Fang Yan looked outside the window. Occasionally, he could see teachers or canteen chefs rushing past.
When it was close to noon, he saw the canteen's buyer driving a donkey cart with a basket of stunted potatoes and radishes. He called out weakly to unload the goods.
Beijing Normal University High School.
After the opening of the school this year, they began to focus on purchasing food.
It was to help students whose families did not have enough food or could not buy food.
Eating here saved the students the trouble of bringing food from home.
As long as one paid, they could buy it.
Moreover, the school had also given them a portion of the food. In general, it was more worthwhile to eat at school than to bring their own food.
Fang Yan had not eaten breakfast in the morning, so his stomach was already growling from hunger.
He distributed the surplus grain, and there was a fixed amount every day.
The time to eat was short.
It was his daily life in the future to live on a budget and prepare for famine.
Even though there were quite a lot of things in the space now, Fang Yan was still used to preparing for a rainy day.
He continued to live a poor life.
Finally, the lunch bell rang. A group of men and women ran out of the classroom, the colorful bowls, chopsticks, and lunch boxes in their hands clattering.
A group of people stepped on the mud and water, shouting as they swarmed toward the canteen.
The day students in the Xicheng District were also wearing bamboo hats or holding umbrellas in groups of three to five. They were talking and laughing as they rushed to the school gate.
The eastern and western Urban area were next to each other. Usually, when the weather was fine, some people in the Dongcheng Area would choose to go home.
For example, Yu Haitang.
Of course, Fang Yan was not one of them.
No matter the weather, there was no one at home. There was nothing to eat when he went back.
The door of the cafeteria opposite the field opened.
The long and thin stone slab leading to the canteen could not accommodate so many people.
The huge field was instantly filled with people.
There were more than ten large wooden basins on the tables in front of the canteen.
The chefs in the canteen shouted,"The students on duty are here to distribute the food."”
Then, two students on duty would walk up from the crowd.
Everyone's meal was registered yesterday afternoon and they were given a meal ticket.
The students on duty only needed to follow the meal distribution form and give each person a different meal standard.
Yes, the price of food here was divided into three categories, just like in the future.
The first type was the best. It was potatoes, cabbage, and vermicelli. This kind of good dish was mixed with a little fat meat and minced meat. It was a pot of " meat dish " that was stewed in a mess. The main dish was white flour steamed buns.
One serving could be sold for 30 cents, and two meals in the afternoon and evening could cost 60 cents.
Excluding the weekends, he could eat 15.60 yuan a month.
With Fang Yan's current food expenses on the fourteenth of a month, even if he did not eat on the weekends, he would still starve a few times at the end of the month.
Furthermore, most of them did not have the standard food allowance that Fang Yan had.
Many people's food standard was only 12 yuan a month.
Therefore, this kind of food did not sell well because ordinary people could not afford it.
Most people would buy it and occasionally eat it as a snack.
The second category was similar to the first category. It was also radish, potato, and the like, but there was no oil at all, let alone meat. The main dish was also steamed bread made from steamed noodles.
This 15 cents per serving was also the most popular.
The third type was far worse. Boiled cabbage and radish tassel in clear water seemed to be used to cover up this overly shabby dish. There would be some soy sauce in it.
He turned the pot of soup black.
The color of the staple food was also black.
The texture was comparable to the cornbread with chaff added.
After taking a bite, he felt like his throat was bleeding.
However, this dish was also cheap. It only cost five cents per serving.
At the beginning of school, Fang Yan, like most people, tried the third type of dish.
The meal seemed to have been tortured. It took him a long time to force it in.
From then on, Fang Yan, like most of his classmates, blacklisted this thing.
Most people ate the second type.
The people lining up for the second-class dishes were a dark mass on the field.
Last year, they brought their own food. This year, with the school's subsidy, everyone could basically eat second-class vegetables.
This also made the food a lot more sumptuous.
In the class, it was rare to find a dish that was listed as a first-class dish.
Zhou Jie and Gao Huan, these disciples of the quad, were among them.
They were dressed differently from the rest of the class.
Their new clothes for the new year were neat and tidy without a single patch. On their wrists, they were all wearing shiny watches.
Standing in the category of dishes, he was like a crane among chickens, not hiding his superiority at all.
There were only a few of them, but they were particularly eye-catching.
The school cafeteria only had a kitchen for cooking and a small room for teachers to eat.
Students had no seats to sit on.
After getting the food, they either returned to the classroom or found a place to squat or stand to eat.
When the weather was good, most people were still willing to eat on the field outside.
However, it was raining today, so no one wanted to eat in the rain.
All the people who got food had to use their elbows to protect their bowls.
She staggered across the field that had been trampled into a mud puddle.
He ran back to his classroom.
If he was a little slower, the rainwater would have gone into his bowl.
Today, He Yushui and Fang Yan were on duty. The student on duty was the last to leave.
This was also the hidden benefit of the students on duty. They could freely use the remaining dishes.
Of course, this depended on the accuracy of the canteen master.
They gave each person a spoonful of food according to the meal ticket list from yesterday.
If there was any extra left, it was either his master's hand slipped or he was short of food for his classmates when he was on duty.
After He Yushui was done, Fang Yan ordered a second-class dish for himself.
He took two standard cornbread buns.
There was nothing left in the basin.
He looked at the remaining dishes in the basin and saw that there was almost an entire spoonful left.
He Yushui shouted," Everyone who sees it gets a share. Don't waste it." Then, he gave Fang Yan half a spoonful.
He also added the rest.
He Yu brought the rice bowl.
She was prepared to return to the classroom with Fang Yan.
At this moment, she was stopped by Fang Yan.
Fang Yan turned around and took out an egg from his pocket, then handed it to her.
Under He Yushui's stunned expression, Fang Yan said indifferently,"
"It's raining today. Happy birthday.”
