The city where the original host lived was Shangdu in Yu Province. Due to the city's large size and population, the government divided the grain distribution days between the 1st and the 15th.
The steel factory residential area where the original host lived collected rations on the 15th.
On this day, before dawn, Mr. Zhong pushed the family's small cart and took Mrs. Zhong with him to the grain bureau to queue up.
In previous months, it was Mrs. Zhong and the original host who went to collect the rations, and it was also the original host who cooked at home. The original host, being naive, didn't notice that the rations brought home were significantly reduced. However, after Yuan Chun inherited the original host's memories, she immediately realized that the amount of rations brought home did not match the quantity used daily, falling short by nearly half.
That day, she merely tested Mrs. Zhong's reaction.
