Chapter 78: The Second Shift of Food
A "yes. Su Yi nodded without hesitation. After a night of reflection, she couldn't have thought more clearly.
Her legs were a little numb, bent over and rubbed them, and after not noticing her humming, Liu Yuanqing's expression instantly cracked, twisted for a moment, and returned to normal. It's just that the smile doesn't reach the bottom of his eyes: "Oh, that, that, bless you." Have you already set a date for your wedding, and have you decided when to have a banquet?"
"About three months later. When the date is set, I will send you and Uncle Jianjun a wedding card. I don't have relatives here, so I know your family and Uncle Jianjun's family. Then you will all come and drink my wine. ”
Su Yicai was stimulated by the flying car, and he couldn't stand steadily, so he simply squatted down and hugged his knees with his hands to relieve tension and fear. She buried her head in talking, but she didn't see it, and when she said the moment she sent the wedding card, Liu Yuanqing's whole person shook uncontrollably, as if she had lost the strength to support herself in an instant.
"Good. Liu Yuanqing bit through the inner **, and the pain made him sober, and he didn't make a more gaffe and more humiliating move.
He was blamed for his hesitation and missed the opportunity.
Now that Su Yi has made a love affair with Xiao Yi and decided to celebrate with a big banquet, he should also restrain his feelings, be Su Yi's friend, and don't cross the line.
Otherwise, it will not only have a bad impact on Su Yi, but also make people misunderstand her water, sex, and Yang Hua, which may ruin her marriage and embarrass herself even more.
Liu Yuanqing's kung fu in controlling his emotions is very good, and in a short period of time, people can't see the slightest abnormality. Still said to Su Yi as a friend: "Have you slowed down, get up, it's coming soon, let's go back." ”
Su Yi followed Liu Yuanqing and walked towards Qingshui Lane.
Along the way, in order to hide his abnormality, Liu Yuanqing kept talking to Su Yi, telling her that he had brought her a lot of things to divert Su Yi's attention.
Since there was no other possibility for the two, he didn't want Su Yi to find out his fiery feelings for her at this time, so as not to cause her distress. There are still three months before Su Yi sets up the wine, and he will adjust his state during this time and completely let go of his feelings for her.
Even if you can't do it, you have to pretend to do it. There are also family members who know his heart, and they also need to be told not to talk nonsense.
"This time I came and brought you some sauerkraut and pickles made at home, didn't you say you liked to eat them before? My mother and Aunt Jianjun made you a big basket, at least ten catties! It's enough for you to eat for a long time. ”
"Really, great!"
"A few days ago, a few of our brothers went into the mountains privately, hunted a few wild animals, pickled them, kept some at home, and brought you half of them, which looked like five or six pounds. Save some food, and you should be fine after the month. Next month, the weather will be hotter, we will go down to the river to touch some fish and shrimp, yellow eels, loaches, you can go to Liu Ping to get them. ”
"Okay, I'll definitely take the time to go over!Yuan Qing, only you want to bring me meat. Thank you. I really like to eat meat, and if I don't eat it for a day, I feel that the rice is not even fragrant, and it is difficult to eat. ”
Su Yi thought to herself: I'll go back and count the money with him later. Pickles are the mind, not to mention, meat to be counted separately. People bring her meat from afar, so she can't help but give money. No matter how friends are, they can't take advantage of others like this. What a precious thing meat is in these years, at this time. People in the city have money, and if they want to eat, they don't have a place to buy it.
Liu Yuanqing saw her expression and knew what she was thinking, and continued with a smile: "I also brought you some sun-dried mushrooms, some fresh mushrooms, and fresh weeds. I also brought you some spices such as chili, ginger, and garlic, so that it is easy to season when making this dish. You can't always have a clear soup and little water every day, and it doesn't taste good, so the rice won't be delicious. ”
"Uh-huh. Su Yi nodded violently. She couldn't agree more.
Although the identity set by the mastermind for her is a northerner, she has no obstacle to eating spicy food. To be precise, she especially likes the spicy taste here. I feel that all my internal organs are burned soft and crispy, which is very refreshing and comfortable.
"Well, I listened to you, and I collected some rapeseed oil for you in the country, but it was not much, and not a single enamel jar was filled. You save a little use, use a loofah scoop to dip it slightly when stir-frying, just wipe it on the bottom of the pot, don't pour too much, and ask me for help when you are done. At present, every household is short of oil, and there is an urgent shortage of oil. I can't help you collect more oil. Even if you have money, you can't do it. If you like stir-frying, you don't necessarily have to use canola oil. This time I brought you half of the lard, and you cut the oil and meat yourself, boiled the oil in a spicy pot, and boiled the oil residue dry. There are three or four catties of lard over there, and the lard boiled out is a little saved, and it is no problem to eat it for two months. ”
"Got it. Su Yi didn't know how to thank Liu Yuanqing, she felt that Liu Yuanqing's friend, like her own eldest brother, was too good to her! She thought that there was an electric fan in her space that the audience would reward, and she would give it to Liu Yuanqing next time she went to the countryside. Take it out now, it's too eye-catching.
Su Yi looked at Liu Yuanqing's white-washed navy blue tunic, and decided to stuff it for him later, let him take it home, and ask his aunt to remake a new set for him.
Now everyone is generally short of cloth short clothes, although Liu Yuanqing's family background is good, he can only change two or three sets of clothes to wear. Su Yi had seen it before, the elbows and cuffs of his shirt were worn out when he was working in the field, and his pants also had patches, so he had to be replaced with a new one.
In a few months, when she had scraped together her salary and industrial vouchers and learned how to use a sewing machine, she pretended to buy it outside, moved the sewing machine in the space back to Xiao's house, and made a new set of clothes for Liu Yuanqing to thank him for sending her delicious food.
At this time, Su Yi didn't know that if she married Xiao Yi, the man would give three major gifts when he bought the dowry, including the sewing machine. This is the custom of this era. Marrying a wife to buy three major items: a bicycle, a sewing machine and a watch, is a very face-saving thing.
Of course, the three major pieces are very expensive and the average salaried family can't afford them.
But the Xiao family is different. Although Xiao Anbang is retired, he can receive a retirement salary of more than 80 yuan per month, Xiao Yi, as the captain of the criminal police brigade of the urban public security bureau, has a high administrative level, and can receive a basic salary of 124 yuan per month.
And he, the old man, and Chengcheng eat in the canteen of the Public Security Bureau most of the time. Because it is an internal staff and family member, the fee is relatively low. The monthly food expenses of the three of them are about fifty yuan, of which Xiao Yi accounts for more than half. Chengcheng and the old man combined, they didn't spend as much on food as he did.
The Xiao family's other expenses are not much, and during the New Year's holidays, the Public Security Bureau and the Provincial Party Committee often give Xiao Yi and the old man various benefits, and there are other people who give gifts to the Xiao family. Although generally the old man and Xiao Yi will not accept it. But sometimes I can't get in the way, and I will always receive a little. The benefits and gifts alone are enough for the family to chew on at ordinary times.
Therefore, the Xiao family can really be regarded as a local tyrant in this era. If it weren't for Xiao Yi's ruthlessness to the girls in his early years, leaving a bad reputation that stinks all over the city, the girls who want to marry into the Xiao family can row from the south of the city to the north of the city. Where is it Su Yi's turn to pick up the leak.
It's just that Su Yi has been at Xiao's house for a short time, and the old man and Xiao Yi haven't told her about many things, and she hasn't deeply realized how much advantage she and Xiao Yi's fake marriage has taken advantage of.
