Xu Fugui brought Xu Damao to He Yuzhu's home. He had a worried look on his face, worried about the food problem.

"Zhu Zi, how long do you think it will take to implement this quota?"

He Yuzhu had no way to tell him, so he could only say: "The policy will not change overnight, it will definitely be implemented for a few years. Uncle Xu, please secretly hide some food at home!"
From now on, you should be like Uncle San, weigh every meal and divide the pickles by the root."

Xu Damao said, "Uncle San doesn't need to be weighed. He and Aunt San can tell the weight with just one look."

Xu Fugui kicked him and said, "It's already this late, and you still have the mind to joke around."

He Yushui heard the noise outside and asked worriedly, "Brother, do we have to share the food too?"

He Yuzhu said, "That's right. You need tickets to buy things in the future. Each person has only so many tickets. Once they are used up, there will be no more.

You are allowed 13 kilograms of food per month, you can’t eat more.”

"Ah." He Yushui looked depressed.

In the past two years following He Yuzhu, she had never suffered. The only thing she ate during the day was lunch, and she ate meat almost every night.

There is no limit on the amount of steamed buns and rice.

Now she only weighs 13 kilograms a month. She can’t imagine how hard her life will be in the future.

He Yuzhu did not tell her the truth, but frightened her: "What? If others can eat it, we can eat it too.

I told you before not to be picky about food, but you didn’t believe me. Now you should work on curing your picky eating habit.”

He Yushui didn't know the seriousness of the situation yet, and snorted at He Yuzhu: "If you dare to treat me badly, I will go find my godmother and let her teach you a lesson."

He Yuzhu was not afraid of his threats. After the strict rationing of food, the restaurant was in trouble.

How can restaurants cook if they can’t buy raw materials? We can’t go out and carry food on our backs!
Even if they carried food on their backs, it would not work. The uneven quality of food would easily cause confusion.

Of course, this is not absolute. The state still needs to maintain the operation of some restaurants, otherwise what will happen to the workers there?
Anyway, no matter how the problem is solved, under the premise of food rationing, the number of people eating out must be reduced by at least 30%.

The factory canteen also has this problem. If workers want to eat in the factory, they have to pay for food.

Without food, the factory cannot cook.

Xu Fugui ignored the quarrel between the He brothers and sisters and said, "What should we do? We can't carry food with us when we go to the countryside to show movies!"

Xu Damao immediately said, "Dad, if that's the case, I won't go with you. It's too tiring."

Xu Fugui was so angry that he wanted to beat him up: "If you don't want to go, let your father go by himself. You are an unfilial son."

He Yuzhu laughed for a while before saying, "Okay, Uncle Xu. I think there must be a solution.

No one goes out carrying food.

You don’t have to worry either.”

Xu Fugui thought about it and it made sense. No matter what the country did, it would not let the common people carry food with them when they go out.

"Let's not talk about that. There's only so much food every month, and it's not enough to eat. Especially since most of it is coarse grains."

He Yuzhu said: "There is nothing we can do about it, let's wait and see! We are not the most difficult ones, the Jia family is the troublesome one.

There are four people in their family, and only Jia Dongxu has a city hukou.

The whole family eats his ration alone, and even if all of it is replaced with cornmeal, it still won’t be enough.”

Xu Fugui's heart was filled with alarm: "This is bad. With Old Yi's character, he will definitely force everyone to donate grain to the Jia family."

He Yuzhu nodded: "Yes, this is what we should pay attention to.

They themselves don't want to move their household registration to the city, and we're not stopping them.

Besides, the Jia family brings back food from the countryside every year, and we never see them share any of it with us, so why should we donate money to them.

Damao, spread this news secretly, and we will block Yi Zhonghai's excuse for donating money first."

Xu Damao said, "Don't just tell me to do some work without any real reason. Give me some packs of cigarettes. I don't know why the leaders in the factory favor you so much. They give you some even though you don't smoke."

Xu Fugui didn't say anything, but his eyes were fixed on Xu Damao, thinking about how to squeeze the cigarette in Xu Damao's hand.

There is no father and son in front of cigarettes, it all depends on who has better skills. He Yuzhu knew that he was just making excuses to ask for cigarettes, but he didn't care, so he took out two packs and threw them to him.

After getting the cigarette, Xu Damao turned around and left without stopping for a moment.

Xu Fugui looked at He Yuzhu and said, "Zhuzi, give uncle one pack too."

He Yuzhu gave two bags, so it is impossible to have unlimited supply: "Uncle Xu, you can't do anything to me. I only got two bags this month. I gave them all to Damao."

When Xu Fugui heard this, he stood up and chased after Xu Damao, fearing that he would be too late and be killed by Xu Damao.

When only the two siblings were left at home, He Yuzhu called He Yushui over.

"From now on, we can't eat like that at home anymore. Everything has to be rationed, and we can't eat meat every day.

No matter who asks you, you should tell them that we eat steamed bread at home."

He Yushui was frightened by He Yuzhu's attitude: "Is it true that our family can only eat steamed bread?"

He Yuzhu nodded: "Not only should you eat the steamed bread, but you should also forget about eating your snacks.

You need a ticket to buy anything from now on, and my brother can’t do anything about it.”

He Yushui nodded, not quite understanding: "Brother, I will listen to you."

He Yuzhu didn't expect her to know everything now. Many adults couldn't understand this situation. After the policy was implemented for a period of time, she would naturally know everything.

Outside, the three old men finally dealt with the people in the yard, with sweat on their foreheads.

Among the three uncles, Liu Haizhong's brain was the slowest and his understanding of the current policy was the worst. He didn't dare to talk much during the meeting.

The second is Yi Zhonghai, who also doesn’t have the ability to fully understand the policy this time.

The one who was most tired was Yan Bugui. It can be said that if Yan Bugui had not written down the policies and explained them clearly, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong would not have been able to handle the situation.

Yan Bugui spoke the most, his voice almost hoarse: "Lao Yi, you promised me to drink, you can't break your promise."

Yi Zhonghai was speechless, he couldn't even speak clearly, and he was still thinking about drinking.

"Can you still drink? How about we do it another time?"

Yan Bugui certainly would not want to do that. He knew the policy very well, and from now on everyone would have to eat the same amount of food as his family.

If you don’t eat now, you may not be able to eat in two days.

Even if you can eat it, it will be very different.

"I'm fine. I can't drink alcohol, but I can drink water. I'm exhausted from talking so much."

Yi Zhonghai was still thinking about uniting the three uncles to help the Jia family. He was worried that if he refused Yan Bugui this time, he would be tripped up by Yan Bugui.

"Okay, I'll ask Cuilan to prepare. Lao Liu, Lao Yan, we should also discuss how to develop the hospital in the future.

Now everything is rationed, so if anyone encounters difficulties in the future, it will be troublesome.

We should also think of countermeasures in advance."

Yan Bugui knew that Yi Zhonghai was probably talking about the Jia family. But he didn't care. Even if he didn't take advantage of Yi Zhonghai, Yi Zhonghai would still offer to help the Jia family.

Since he has to bring this up anyway, why doesn't he take advantage of Yi Zhonghai in advance.

As for helping the Jia family, that is impossible.

The situation will become more complicated in the future. If He Yuzhu and his family do not agree, Yi Zhonghai will have no chance of success.

Given He Yuzhu's relationship with the Jia family, it is impossible for him to help the Jia family. He only needs to follow He Yuzhu and he will not suffer any loss.

Only Liu Haizhong was still a little confused and followed him to Yi Zhonghai's home.

Yi Zhonghai turned his head to look at the He family behind him and sighed deeply.

He instinctively felt that after the food was rationed, the role of He Yuzhu, the cook, would be much more useful to him.

But his relationship with He Yuzhu... (End of this chapter)
