Chapter 202 Yu Li has two "homes"
Yu Li had no grudge against Wang Hongtao's request, even though she was slept with without knowing it.
But he also never treated me badly. He never gave me less food and drink, and was much more considerate than my own family.
These days, people suffer greater grievances than just having enough to eat.
And considering his figure and appearance, it is still unclear who will gain and who will lose if they are together.
As they ate and talked, Yu Li asked with concern, "I always eat at your place, I won't make you broke, will I?"
Wang Hongtao shook his head: "It's okay. The driver's ration is already high, and the boss will give me subsidies from time to time, so we can afford to eat like this."
After hearing this, Yu Li finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with assurance.
"As for you, even if the quota for the new month is decided, you may not be able to get much." Wang Hongtao said considerately.
Yu Li pursed her lips and responded.
She knew that what Wang Hongtao criticized was the Yan family's distribution plan, which required all rationed food coupons to be handed in and then distributed in a unified manner.
Food supplies are tight these days.
The quantity was reduced again in the middle of the year. During the difficult period, the quantity was gradually reduced to 80%, 70% at the beginning, and now it is only 60%.
Before the difficult times, the monthly ration for an average adult resident was 30 kilograms, but now it is only 18 kilograms.
Fine grains account for only about 30% of this, and the rest are all coarse grains: corn flour, sorghum flour, potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc.
In addition, the quantity varies depending on the occupation and work level.
For example, in the courtyard, the ones with the highest food rations are the second uncle Liu Haizhong and the first uncle Yi Zhonghai.
Especially the second uncle Liu Haizhong, a sixth-level forger, is a heavy manual laborer, and his monthly quota is definitely more than 40 kilograms. So he likes to eat eggs not just to satisfy his appetite, but to supplement nutrition, otherwise his body can't bear it.
Since we couldn’t get meat, oil, etc., we could only rely on eggs to supplement our diet.
At the Yan family, after the ration was handed in, Yan Bugui would first exchange the fine grain coupons for coarse ones. Secondly, he would strictly control the amount of food, keeping it to a state of 50% to 60% full, saying that this was a healthy diet.
It was the Yan family's peculiar style of doing things that gave Wang Hongtao the opportunity to take advantage of it.
Yu Li has been married into the Yan family for less than half a year. Not to mention the three-year sorrow and seven-year itch, it should be the time for the newlyweds to be in the sweet love mode, right?
But in reality, they quarreled so much over various things that they had reached the stage where they were only superficially harmonious but spiritually estranged.
People say that before marriage, you only see the other person's strengths, but after marriage, you only see the other person's weaknesses. This is absolutely true.
Before marrying into the Yan family, Yu Li only knew that her father-in-law was a school teacher and that Yan Jiecheng was the eldest son of the Yan family. She also heard from others that Yan Bugui was good at managing the household and knew how to live.
She thought that after getting married, Jie Cheng would find a job, and then with some help from her parents-in-law, she could stay at home and take care of her husband and children and live a good life.
Only after she got married did she realize that things were far from as simple as she had imagined.
Not to mention anything else, the fact that Yan Jiecheng had no ambition and was neither high nor low was enough to worry her.
It was precisely because the gap between her expectations and the situation was so huge that Yu Li reluctantly got together with Wang Hongtao.
Come to think of it, marry a man to provide you with clothes and food.
On one hand, there was her husband's family, where the food was simple and there was no hope at all; on the other hand, there was the temptation of leaving home where she could not only eat enough but also eat well. It was no wonder that Yu Li could not resist.
……
After finishing the meal quickly, Yu Li got up without being told to clean up the dishes and put a pot of hot water on the stove. She was busy and busy like a natural person.
Wang Hongtao crossed his legs and looked at Yu Li with a smile, becoming more and more satisfied with her performance.
"This woman, could it be that she treats my place as her own home?" Wang Hongtao thought to himself.
Maybe it's really possible.
The Yan family is her in-laws' family, but what they bring to her is calculation and utilitarianism.
It was with Wang Hongtao that she realized what happiness and satisfaction were.
There is food, and there is care and love.
Although she also knew that Wang Hongtao had ulterior motives in giving her these things, it didn't matter. What mattered was that she could get what she wanted from Wang Hongtao.
In this way, Yu Li had two homes in the courtyard, one in the front yard and the other in the back yard; one in name and the other in fact.
Yu Li is not only not opposed to this, but is also happy to enjoy this excitement and taboo.
After finishing my meal, I sat at the door and smoked half of a cigarette when I heard Yu Li say that the water was ready.
Wang Hongtao put out the cigarette fiercely and half-closed the door.
Soon, suppressed laughter and playfulness could be heard in the room.
……
Twenty minutes later, Yu Li came out with two cornmeal pancakes, her face rosy and filled with a happy smile.
After stepping into the front yard, he shook his arms, pretending that his hands were sore.
Yan Bugui smiled crookedly when he saw the two tortillas: "I knew Yu Li wouldn't come back empty-handed. As usual, I'll distribute them!"
Yan Jiecheng interrupted: "Yu Li's share still belongs to me!"
"Why should it belong to you? I earned it by cooking for others. Not only did I not eat it myself, but I also had to give it to you? How can you be so shameless?" This time Yu Li did not give in, but argued with reason.
"You...can't you eat your fill at Wang's house before coming back?" Yan Jiecheng pulled Yu Li and asked in a low voice.
"Eat full? Why should Xiao Wang let me eat full? Who am I to him?"
"I just helped to cook a meal, but you still charge me for eating and taking it? What do you think of you? Would you do this job if it were you?"
In order not to arouse suspicion, Yu Li only ate until she was 50% full at Wang's house, as she was already hungry after the exercise.
When he came back and heard Yan Jiecheng's weird words, he was so angry that he retorted.
The third uncle came out to make peace: "Okay, okay, what Yu Li said is not wrong."
"Well, Jie Cheng, return the steamed bread you just distributed to Yu Li, and I'll start distributing the pancakes now."
……
Not long after Yu Li went back, Qin Jingru came again.
Ever since I promised to marry her when she came of age, she has come to my house more frequently.
Qin Jingru came over and found the house clean and tidy, even the dishes were washed clean, and she felt a little depressed.
"Brother Tao, was it Yu Li from the Third Uncle's family who came over again?"
Wang Hongtao nodded and smiled: "Don't be unhappy, eat two pancakes first, and then come and play with me for a while."
"What do you mean by playing with you for a while? You just want to bully me." Qin Jingru said shyly.
"Then will you let me bully you? If not, go find someone else to bully me!" Wang Hongtao said as he pretended to stand up.
"you…..
I'm here, and I can't resist you no matter what you want to do." Qin Jingru lowered her head and said softly.
Wang Hongtao laughed loudly, pulled Qin Jingru into his arms, and rubbed her chubby face.
After a month in the city, Qin Jingru's complexion had visibly improved. Her face had become plumper, her body had become rounder, and even her originally dry and yellow hair had become black and shiny.
Probably because she had just taken a shower, Qin Jingru had a faint fragrance on her body, so Wang Hongtao praised her: "Jingru, you smell really good..."
Qin Jingru answered cheerfully, "It smells good, right? I took a bath with the soap my sister bought, and my body felt smooth after the bath."
Wang Hongtao couldn't help feeling happy when he saw her silly look, so he found a stool to sit down, put Qin Jingru on his lap and played with her.
"Hmm, it's itchy!" Qin Jingru wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, so she could only cover her mouth and suppress her emotions.
