Wait until the end of the year.

Not only are the impacts and changes in prices becoming greater and greater, but the temperature is also getting lower and lower. The lowest temperature in their local area has even reached about minus 20 degrees, which has been the case since many people can remember.

Low temperatures that have never been seen before.

In previous years, it was only minus 35 degrees Celsius here, and minus 12 or 3 degrees Celsius was a low temperature that had not been seen in more than ten years.

Not to mention minus twenty degrees.

The most important thing is that they don’t have the habit of installing floor heating at all, so this winter is really sad for the locals. I don’t know how many people have frostbite on their hands and feet, or they just turn on the electric blanket and air conditioner and simply lie down.

Stay warm in bed and don't leave the door.

If you have to go to work or go to school, you have no choice but to wear more clothes and warm your baby.

Take Ding Yun's class as an example. There are forty-three students in a class, and at least thirty of them have chilblains, either on their faces, on their hands, or on both their faces and hands.

Some people's hands were as cold as carrots.

It might have happened in previous years, but it was never this serious.

The main reasons are that first, after entering the third year of high school, all students exercise less, and their blood circulation may be slightly reduced, making them more susceptible to chilblains.

Secondly, air conditioning is turned on at home and in school classes, but there is no air conditioning on the road, and not every parent is free to drive to pick up their children every day.

When you are hot and cold, you are more likely to get sick.

It is also prone to frostbite.

Because the temperature has not been rising, and even has a tendency to continue to drop, and many parents of students have reported that their children cannot stand the cold on the road, or they have fallen and broken bones while walking to school.

In the end, the county education bureau decided after research that all students should go home one month early. Instead of taking a vacation, they would go home to take online classes and wait for the final exam before returning to school.

Some people are happy about this, some are not happy, but generally speaking, most people are quite happy. After all, students don’t want to go to school in such cold clothes every day, wearing three layers inside and three outside, so why should teachers?

Plus, taking classes at home can save you a few meetings.

Don’t be hassled by the school leaders above.

Why not?

So starting from December 12, Ding Yun and her brother started taking online classes at home. As for her sister, her sister had already gone on winter vacation. The university her sister attended last year was in the north, and it was already cold there.

, it’s now over minus 40 degrees, so her sister took winter vacation as early as November, and her sister’s winter vacation time is comparable to the local summer vacation time, but correspondingly, the summer vacation time is longer than here

A lot less.

In short, it’s just a matter of adapting to local conditions.

Winter and summer vacation times vary from place to place.

There is long and short, early and late.

…

December 14, eleven o'clock, kitchen.

Because their three children are all at home and there is no canteen to eat in, for the sake of their children, Ding Ding and Gao Yi can only temporarily give up eating in the company canteen and instead get meal supplements.

Then I go to the supermarket to buy some groceries after get off work every day.

Cooking meals for the three children.

"Why is it beef brisket again?"

Looking at the potatoes and frozen beef brisket that his wife brought back from the supermarket, Ding Ding was very depressed. Frozen beef brisket was inherently fishier than fresh beef brisket and was difficult to handle. His wife's cooking skills were not that good, and she always made potato stew.

Beef brisket can only be said to be edible, but it has nothing to do with deliciousness.

Besides, even if his wife is good at craftsmanship.

I'm tired of eating beef brisket stewed with potatoes for half a month.

"Nonsense, what are you going to eat if you don't eat this? Pork is thirty-eight pounds per pound, and frozen beef brisket is twenty-five pounds per pound. This is no more cost-effective than eating pork. I still think supermarket pork is fat!"

Gao Yi rolled his eyes at Ding Ding and said impatiently.

Since late October, prices here have continued to rise sharply, but their wages have not increased. With three children in the family, the original wages are basically enough, and they cannot save much money. Even if their second daughter is now

If your grades get better, you may be able to enroll in school for free in the future, but you can't just count on it.

You still have to save some money, just in case.

Therefore, it is natural to be more frugal when it comes to food. Although there are cheaper frozen chickens, my family doesn’t like chicken very much. In the end, only frozen beef brisket is the most cost-effective, tastes good, and is nutritious.

The fat intake is also much less than that of pork.

"Well, wife, we don't need to be so frugal. We have to buy some fruits and vegetables. Our family hasn't eaten fruit for half a month. The children only eat potatoes and beef brisket, which can't supplement the necessary vitamins!

Fruits and vegetables are more expensive.

The worst thing is to buy less!”

Since all his monthly salary was paid in, his little treasury was not enough to do anything, so Ding Ding could only continue to persuade Gao Yi in a low voice in the kitchen.

He has developed oral ulcers recently, and he really can't hold it in. He didn't think cucumbers and tomatoes were so delicious before, but now that he hasn't eaten them for a long time, he really misses them.

"How long has it been since you last been to the supermarket?

Do you know how much the prices of fruits and vegetables have increased now? Today, cucumbers cost 19 yuan and 80 yuan per catty, and fruit cucumbers cost 28 yuan and 80 yuan per catty.

Tomatoes cost 19 yuan and 81 pounds, fruit tomatoes cost 29 yuan and 81 pounds, millet peppers cost 88 yuan and green peppers cost 24 and 80 yuan. The price of the potatoes in the bag has increased to 5 yuan and 58 cents.

, let alone the specific prices of those rare vegetables that are not produced locally.

I don't even dare to look at it.

In the past, the cheapest bananas were often sold for 98 cents per piece, but now they are sold in supermarkets for 98 yuan per catty, and grapes cost 49 yuan 91 per catty.

They are either high-end grape varieties or ordinary grapes. The price of better varieties of grapes is triple digits.

How can I buy it at this price? Just wait and see.

Anyway, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and you have to buy something no matter how expensive it is. Yesterday, I placed an order online and bought a lot of canned fruits, pickled cucumbers, etc., which I will eat as fruits and vegetables. I also bought a lot of vitamin tablets and the like.

.

Just take some vitamin tablets to supplement, and when prices start to drop in the spring, you can eat whatever you want."

As a person in charge of money and accounting, Gao Yi is quite clear about the extent and extent of price increases during this period. Seeing that the prices of some things have increased three to five times, she really doesn't want to be taken advantage of. Anyway, she doesn't want to eat.

If you are going to die, why bother pursuing freshness in such a cold weather?

In the past, we had potatoes and pickles every day in winter.

Didn’t you also survive?

Moreover, in recent years, extreme weather has become more and more frequent, and her family's lack of savings really makes her feel a little panicked, and she doesn't want to spend money frivolously.

"Are you going to a luxury supermarket to buy something?"

Ding Ding, who cannot go to the supermarket twice a year, still has the same impression of supermarket fruits and vegetables as he did a few years ago.

He thought that even if the weather was cold and the price of vegetables increased, the price of cucumbers and the like would only rise to six or seven yuan at most, and how much higher it could go. So after hearing his wife's quotation, he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.

"Do you think I'm stupid?

I still can’t tell which supermarket I bought it from. You can’t see the words on this bag. It’s a supermarket with discounts and cheap fresh food. I’m too lazy to tell you. I can’t help you with anything. I’m going out. I’m going to make lunch.

, if you don’t know the price, just open the takeout app and look at the dishes on the takeout and what the prices are in the supermarket!”

Rolling his eyes at his husband impatiently again, Gao Yi reached out and pushed him out of the kitchen, and started cooking in anger.

He doesn't know anything, he just knows how to speak.

Is it easy for her to manage this?

There are indeed some relatively cheap fruits and vegetables in the supermarket, but the key point is that not only are those relatively cheap fruits and vegetables not of good quality, but even the family doesn’t like to eat them. For example, apples that are not in good quality only cost eight yuan.

One pound. Last time she bought three pounds.

No one ate it at all, and it was almost rotten in the end.

She couldn't bear it, and she ate it all by herself.

The food you like is too expensive and you can’t bear to buy it, and no one eats the cheap food, so you might as well not buy it!

Can you blame her?

The more Gao Yi thought about it, the angrier he became. He stopped cutting the frozen beef brisket on the cutting board, and instead chopped it vigorously with a machete.

Ding Ding, on the other hand, obediently turned on his phone, downloaded a takeout app, and carefully looked through the takeout prices, and then he discovered that the prices of everything on the takeout now were indeed a bit ridiculously high.

A portion of tomato and egg rice bowl costs RMB 48.

Is it unimaginable that you don’t get a penny discount?

It turns out that his grandma's braised pork, which he thought cost 48 yuan a serving, has now cost 99 yuan.

The note also specifically states that it is a small portion.

The couple's total salary is 18,000 yuan. Even if they don't have to pay off the mortgage, judging from the price of things, they really have to be frugal, otherwise they may not be able to survive.

In the past, their family's daily food and drink expenses for a month were only about 6,000 yuan. Now if they still want to reach the previous level, they should eat more fruits and vegetables.

That would have to be at least tripled, to 3,618,000.

This is obviously impossible.

After all, there are also high expenses in other places, such as water, electricity, communication fees, gas bills, children's tuition fees, living pocket money and so on. You have to spend money on it, so don't be frugal on food and drink.

I'm afraid this day will really be unbearable.

Knowing this, Ding Ding also knew that his wife had not been able to take care of her recently. It is no wonder that her colleagues have been complaining recently that the company's food is getting worse and worse.

At this price, is the company food not bad?
