-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapter 33: Sharing Meat...What a waste to be hungry and thin
'People consider food as their top priority', and this saying is indeed true. Especially in times of scarcity, when it comes to the topic of meat, news always spreads particularly fast.
In the afternoon, when Xiang Chen went to school, his classmates were already discussing the meat distribution scheduled for the next day.
Xiang Chen's several little friends had forgotten to ask him why he didn't attend class in the morning. The good news of having meat to eat soon occupied all their attention.
The classroom was filled with noise, discussions about various ways to cook meat, and the sound of saliva being swallowed.
When the teacher entered the room, witnessing this scene, he just smiled and didn't say anything. After all, he was also looking forward to this meat, how could he criticize other people's children?
During the wait, time seemed to stretch endlessly. There was a phrase that perfectly described the feeling at this moment: 'Time passed as if years went by.'
The kids didn't understand the phrase "time passed as if years went by," but they could already sense this feeling ahead of time. Although meat distribution was scheduled for tomorrow afternoon and not today, they felt like they had to wait for a year and a half.
After hearing Xiao Huzi talk about wanting to eat fatty meat eight hundred times in his ear, Xiang Chen quickly escaped from his friends. What was the point of chatting about meat when they could be playing cartoons after class?
Enduring the afternoon, as soon as school was over, Xiang Chen rushed to find Xu Hengzhou. After waiting for a while outside his classroom door, Xu Hengzhou also finished school.
"Why did you run upstairs?" Xu Hengzhou led Xiang Chen back down.
Xiang Chen frowned and said, "Everyone has been talking about meat the whole afternoon. I don't even feel like eating anymore."
Xu Hengzhou chuckled, understanding his dilemma. It wasn't just Xiang Chen's classmates talking about it; even his classmates were discussing it.
On the way home, everyone they encountered seemed to be in high spirits. Because of the upcoming meat distribution, it felt like the entire factory was celebrating. This simple joy and satisfaction were something Xiang Chen hadn't seen in his era.
The atmosphere at the Song family was still good. After an early dinner, Song Wenbin threw a few potatoes into the stove.
After finishing dinner and completing their homework, the two brothers returned to the main room.
Song Wenbin pulled out the potatoes from the stove. The residual heat from the ash in the stove was just enough to cook the potatoes perfectly.
Xu Hengzhou had never eaten potatoes like this, but he quickly understood by watching Song Wenbin's actions.
The potatoes were still a bit hot, and Song Wenbin peeled one for each of them. He placed the potatoes in bowls and gave them chopsticks to eat.
Freshly roasted potatoes were soft, sticky, and fragrant. They were delicious even without additional seasoning. Xu Hengzhou, who originally had little appetite, took several bites.
Xiang Chen puffed up his cheeks and blew on the potato to cool it down a bit before taking a bite. Despite getting burned, he couldn't stop eating, enjoying it very much.
