Chapter 35 Why are the flowers so red?(1/2)

 "Dong dong dong!" Fangyuan patted the door.

"Who is it? Sanbao, go and open the door." A middle-aged woman's voice came from inside.

Needless to say, it should be the little fat man's mother. Fangyuan has not met the little fat man's mother yet, because she does not need to go to work, so she does not need to go out.

"Oh!" The little fat man agreed and ran over to open the door.

When he saw Fangyuan standing at the gate, the little fat man asked in surprise: "Boss, why is it you?"

"Why can't it be me?"

"No, that's not what I meant, I meant why are you here?"

"I'm looking for your dad!"

"Looking for my dad? Boss, why are you looking for my dad?" The little fat man looked at Fang Yuan in confusion.

"Why do you care so much, little brat? Go ahead." After finishing speaking, Fangyuan went in.

Leaving the little fat man behind to close the door, he scratched his head and thought: Call me a brat, but you are the same.

Of course, he didn't dare to say this, he could only think about it in his heart, because he was afraid that Fangyuan would deal with him.

After the little fat man closed the door, he quickly ran inside, chasing Fangyuan and shouting: "Dad, someone is looking for you."

"Who is it?" Fat Uncle came out of the house and asked.

"Hello, uncle!" Fangyuan quickly stepped forward and shouted.

"Oh! It's you! What's the matter?"

"Uncle, I want to buy some bones."

Fangyuan actually has meat tickets in his hand, and he can even buy meat, but it is not possible at the moment. He takes out the meat tickets at this time, and there is no way to explain it.

"Buy bones?"

"Well! Give me ten pounds of bones! I'll give you money." Fangyuan took out a dollar from his pocket and said.

Bones are very cheap because there is basically no meat on them, and they only cost four or five cents per pound.

What's more, after eating these bones, you can buy them to the purchasing station. One pound of bones can be purchased for about three cents, so if you calculate it this way, you will only lose two cents if you buy one pound of bones.

"How much do you want?"

"Well! Our family hasn't eaten meat for a long time, and we don't have meat tickets, so we can only buy bones."

This is not a misfortune for Fangyuan, because what he said is true. There are indeed no meat tickets at home, and my mother sold the meat tickets for this month.

"Okay, just wait and I'll get it for you."

In fact, the butcher shop is about to open at this time, and the meat to be sold today is of course ready, and the bones have been picked out.

Uncle Fatty left quickly and came back quickly. The bones were wrapped in oil paper and tied.

"Here you go, a total of ten kilograms."

Fangyuan quickly took it, then handed the money over and said, "Here you go."

"Then I'll keep it."

This money must be paid, because the butcher shop is not owned by Fatty and his family, but is state-owned. How much meat comes in every day and how much it sells are all determined.

"Yeah!" Fang Yuan nodded.

For ten kilograms of bones, the fat uncle charged 50 cents. This was the real price. There was no need to ask for more or less.

"Thank you, uncle." After Fat Uncle collected the money, Fangyuan quickly thanked him.

You must know that these bones are a hot commodity, let’s put it this way! If you open the door here, people will buy it out there.

The reason why Uncle Fatty was able to give Fangyuan a bone that day was because Uncle Fatty dropped it when he was cutting the meat.

Just sell the remaining one. It's not worth it. If you don't sell it, you can't eat it because they have many families.

Fangyuan happened to come over to buy some meat, and his mouth was sweet, so Uncle Fat gave it to him as soon as he was happy.

"When you go back, go from the back, don't pass by the door of the butcher shop."

"I know, uncle, don't worry! No one will see it."

"Well! Go back!"

"Okay."

Fangyuan came out of Little Fatty's house carrying a large bag of bones. He looked around to see if there was no one, then walked behind Little Fatty's house.

Because there is a butcher shop in front of him, and Uncle Fatty just told him not to go through the door of the butcher shop, and of course Fangyuan will not leave.

In fact, the distance from the front is about the same as the distance from the back. Even if it is far, it is only ten or twenty meters, which is nothing at all.

"Little brother, what are you doing here? Wash your hands and eat quickly." Seeing Fangyuan coming back, the eldest sister said quickly.

The eldest sister did not see what Fangyuan was carrying because Fangyuan put it behind her back.

"Sister, what do you think this is?" Fangyuan said, taking out the big paper bag from behind.

"What?"

"Go in and talk." Fangyuan went over and pulled the eldest sister into the room, then put the paper bag on the Eight Immortals table.

"This... so many bones?" When Fangyuan opened the paper package, the eldest sister shouted in surprise.

The second sister and the third sister were still busy washing their faces. When they heard the eldest sister's voice, they threw the towel into the basin and ran over quickly.

"Wow! There's meat on the bones," the second sister and the third sister shouted exaggeratedly.

It can’t be considered an exaggeration! This is indeed what they want to express.

When the second sister and the third sister shouted, Fangyuan realized that it was true that there was obviously more meat on the bones today.

The second sister and the third sister all focused on the bones, and Fang Yuan was about the same. Only the eldest sister pulled Fang Yuan aside and asked, "Brother, what's going on with these bones?"

"Sister, I bought this!"

"Did you buy it? Where did you get the money?" the eldest sister asked with a surprised look on her face.

Because in this family, all the money is kept by my mother. Not to mention the second and third sisters, even the eldest sister has no money.

"My own." Fangyuan said.

"Your own?" Hearing what Fangyuan said, the eldest sister nodded and said, "Little brother, the money mom gave you is for you to save, not for you to spend randomly."

The eldest sister thought that this money was given to Fangyuan by her mother, because this was the only explanation, otherwise where did Fangyuan get the money?

"Sister, it wasn't given by mom, it's my own money. I still have some here, give it to you, eldest sister." Fangyuan took out a handful of money from his pocket, about four or five yuan, and handed it all to the eldest sister.

"Ah! This... so much!"

The eldest sister is not someone who has never seen money. You must know that her monthly salary is ten yuan!

The reason why she reacted this way was because so much money was given by a child from Fangyuan. How could this not surprise her?

Seeing the money handed over by Fangyuan, the eldest sister quickly took it, folded it and put it into Fangyuan's pocket and said, "Sister, I don't want this money. You can keep it for yourself, but you are not allowed to spend it randomly."

"Yeah!" Fangyuan nodded quickly.

"Brother, why do you have so much money?" Third sister walked up to Fangyuan and asked.

"Listen, you two, don't ask me for money, or I won't be able to spare you."

"I know, sister."

In fact, the third sister is just curious, not because she doesn’t want money, because she can’t buy things with money. For example, the candy bars that children like to eat will not be sold without candy coupons.

There are also peach cakes that children like to eat, which also require food stamps. Let's put it this way, as long as it is eaten, except for the bones, everything else needs a stamp.

"Eat it! I'll wash the bones." Now that I've bought it, it's impossible to return it.

Just as the eldest sister walked out holding the bones, she met her mother who had just returned from get off work.

"Where did the bones come from?" Mom asked with a frown.

"I bought it." Before Fangyuan and the other three could speak, the eldest sister said first.

The eldest sister was afraid that her mother would blame Fangyuan, so she took the matter on herself.

But my mother is such a shrewd person!

"You bought it! Where did you get the money?" Mom said and glanced at Fangyuan.

In this family, apart from her, she is probably the only one who has money.

"Mom, I bought it from Fat Uncle." Fangyuan stood up and said.

"I knew it was you, okay, hurry up and eat, then go to school after eating."

Mom didn’t blame Fangyuan. Not to mention that Fangyuan bought it with her own money, even if it was bought with her money, she wouldn’t blame Fangyuan.

There is no way to tell the difference between boys and girls. In this era, boys are more valued than girls, especially in this family. Fangyuan is now the only boy in the family.

After eating, Fangyuan, the second and third sisters went to school, and the eldest sister also went to work with them. As for the bones, my mother took over.
