Chapter 244: Stingy
Time flies, and with the snowflakes falling from the sky, it is Chinese New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye.
There are the sound of firecrackers in the streets and alleys of Huaixiang County, and children wander around the streets in groups, and every New Year is their happiest and exciting day.
If the family conditions are slightly better, they will also make a new dress for the child at this time.
When you go to the homes of relatives and friends, you can also get a lot of red envelopes.
Even the food will be much more abundant than usual.
Many families who don't see a little meat all year round will also grit their teeth and buy some meat back on this special day.
Children can't be happy or anything!
Although the past two years have made people mentally tired and nervous in some ways, no one will cry and mourn in order to have a good omen for the coming year.
Even if you are unhappy, you have to live with a smile.
Zhang Yunxiu began to prepare what he would eat for the New Year two days before the Chinese New Year.
Now that she has plenty of money, she is willing to spend money on food and clothing.
Under her father's training, the little girl was finally able to maintain her human form for a while, so the neighbors around her also knew that she had picked up the child from Bai Ting's friend.
But the only thing that makes the neighbors feel strange is that they feel that Bai Mingzhu, the girl, doesn't seem to like to play crazy with her friends after she comes back, and she stays at home every day without going out of the door, and I don't know if she was wronged outside.
For this reason, Lu Qiao also came to the door to talk to Zhang Yunxiu.
I wonder if Zhuzhu has been wronged by living in someone's house.
For this reason, Zhang Yunxiu can only play haha.
Joke, now that the time for the girl to become a human lasts less than three hours a day, how can she rest assured that this child will run out with the other friends?
If you become a wolf cub in front of those children halfway, you must not frighten other children!
So no matter how coquettish and crying Zhuzhu was at home, Zhang Yunxiu was ruthless and resolutely forbade her to go out to play.
In order to make up for the child's psychological trauma, she made a special trip to buy fresh meat these days, planning to make her braised lion's head.
This dish, in her previous life, this girl was her favorite food.
"This Yunxiu is really blessed, married to such a capable man, and now he doesn't have to go to work to live such a nourishing life, how can it be like us......? Isn't that the smell of fried meatballs?"
When I went to buy meat and queued up early this morning, I saw that she bought a lot of bones, and she came back with a lot of bones.
The idle people gathered together, smelled the smell of meat wafting in the building, swallowed saliva one by one, and said sour words on their lips.
When Zhang Yunxiu first came to live here, everyone saw that she was still a little widow with a drag oil bottle, and they arranged her behind her back.
Because she looks like a fox, what if she hooks up those dishonest men in the building?
Originally, there was a Wei Peilan in this building who hooked up with someone at any time, and now there is another one.
Therefore, at the beginning, no one took the initiative to make friends with Zhang Yunxiu, and even the children in the family were not allowed to play with Bai Mingzhu.
How isolated the mother and daughter were at that time, and how much regret they have now.
Otherwise, why don't you go over and rub a few meatballs now?
In these years, there are still a few thick-skinned people.
Most of the people are still very simple.
This is an era of lack of food and clothing, even if you go to visit relatives, you will deliberately stagger the meal and then go.
lest you eat other people's things, and in the end they will not have enough food, and it will not be good to go hungry.
But most people are good, but there are still some people who are quite weird.
Zhang Yunxiu was putting the meatballs into the pot one by one and frying them, and someone came over with children.
"Is this a croquette?"
The person who came was a middle-aged woman in her forties, her temples had been dyed with hoarfrost, but her face looked a little mean, her eyes were dripping, and she didn't look like a good person.
Zhang Yunxiu vaguely remembered that she seemed to be a resident living on the first floor.
Basically no dealings.
She nodded, humming lukewarmly.
Although the middle-aged woman was still holding a child similar to Zhuzhu by her side, she did not take the initiative to give the child a meatball to taste.
She bought more than two catties of meat in total, and if this sets a precedent, can you not give it to other neighbors' children, whether they are cooked or not?
This thing was specially made for her daughter to eat, and she didn't blame her for slamming the door.
"Grandma, I want to eat meatballs!"
The middle-aged woman's grandson looked at the golden balls fried in the pot and immediately shouted loudly.
Zhang Yunxiu didn't hear it, and continued to throw balls into the pot.
She couldn't remember what this person's name was, and inexplicably ran over to say hello when she fried croquettes.
"Your name is Zhang Yunxiu, right? Hehe, I'm Aunt Sun who lives downstairs. ”
Aunt Sun saw that she didn't say anything at all, and secretly scolded this girl for being so stingy, obviously she fried so many meatballs, and the children said so, can't she take the initiative to give one to eat?
"Oh?" Zhang Yunxiu blinked and raised her head, "Aunt Sun, is there something wrong?"
Aunt Sun coughed lightly, put her hand in her fist, and said faintly hot on her old face, "Isn't it my little grandson who smells you croquettes at home, and is making a fuss about eating croquettes!"
Zhang Yunxiu raised her eyebrows slightly.
When ordinary people saw her attitude just now, even if they wanted to eat in their hearts, they wouldn't have the face to say it.
What's more, it's still a neighbor who hasn't dealt much with each other.
It seems that this Aunt Sun is quite thick-skinned.
She smiled, "A meatball is actually nothing great, but Aunt Sun you know, I bought a total of two catties of meat, if I give it to your grandson, there are dozens of children upstairs and downstairs, where can I give it? So if your grandson wants to eat meatballs, you should quickly buy meat for him and come back to make it, when I bought meat before, the master said that the pork sold today is enough!"
Aunt Sun's face stiffened, and she whispered, "You can give the child a taste, I promise not to tell others." ”
Zhang Yunxiu scooped up the fried meatballs from the pot and put them in the small shamban next to him, and then said to the man in the house who was telling a story to his daughter, "Bai Ting, come here and bring the balls to the house." ”
The man who heard her scream immediately stood up, walked up to her, and took the ball away.
Aunt Sun: "......"
