Tomorrow is 515, the anniversary of the starting point, and the day with the most benefits. In addition to the gift bag and school bag, this time's "515 Red Envelope Flip" must be seen, how can there be a reason not to grab the red envelope, set the alarm clock high~
Zhou Xiaoan walked through the middle of the tall shelves of the supermarket, walked back and forth several rows, only to find that he was the only one in the huge store.
After another walk, she came to the bulk grain area, where huge wooden rice buckets were placed on the ground, and all kinds of grain were packed in buckets, occupying a very large area.
Seeing these special wooden barrels containing grain, Zhou Xiaoan immediately recognized it, this is the largest chain life supermarket in Peizhou City, very close to their home, she often comes to buy things, when these rice buckets were just placed, she also took photos and sent them to the circle of friends.
The supermarket occupies the entire basement of the mall, and it is outside the mall that she suffered a construction accident and said goodbye to her family.
How could you dream of this supermarket? And it has been hovering in the grain and oil area.
Zhou Xiaoan sat on the ground leaning on the big rice bucket, and as she expected, she didn't feel the coolness of the floor tiles at all, it was indeed a dream.
Maybe I'm too hungry......
Zhou Xiaoan rubbed his shriveled stomach, even if he ate two large bowls of noodles in the afternoon, it was still a drop in the bucket for this long-starved body......
It seems that she will have to fight for a long time to have a full stomach in the future.
Zhou Xiaoan got up, grabbed a handful of rice casually, smelled the pure aroma of grains, and a loud intestinal sound sounded in his stomach.
Since you've dreamed of it, let's take a good walk! If you want to see such a scene in the future, you may have to wait forty or fifty years from now.
Zhou Xiao'an wandered slowly in the quiet store, in addition to the dozen or so huge rice buckets in the grain area, there were also several large piles of bags of rice and flour neatly stacked next to them, and several huge shelves were placed with bags of grain of various specifications.
Walking through the grain area is the edible oil area, peanut oil, corn oil, soybean oil, olive oil, all kinds of edible oil are full of five or six large shelves, and several large piles of high promotional piles have been erected on the field next to it.
Further ahead is the seasoning area, usually she rarely comes here except for helping Zhou's mother carry a bottle of soy sauce. Looking at these things now, because I know that it will be difficult to see them in the future, I am so interested.
After studying all kinds of soy sauce, cooking wine, aged vinegar, and Sichuan pepper powder, Zhou Xiaoan really realized that this supermarket is really not ordinarily big, and the soy sauce alone is full of a long big shelf.
After a careful look all the way, after the seasoning area is the fresh area, vegetables, fruits, meat, eggs, fresh fish, Zhou Xiaoan looked at the past, and then realized that something was wrong.
This dream is too real!
She could even see the health and epidemic prevention inspection stamp on the cover of the fresh meat, if she had this dream completely based on impression and imagination, it would be impossible, because she usually came to the supermarket and basically did not come to this area, let alone pay attention to these.
She put her hand into the large glass tank with fresh fish, and the wet touch couldn't be more real.
Did she wear it back again?! Zhou Xiaoan pinched himself excitedly, and his heart was cold again, and he didn't feel pain at all.
She grabbed a handful of ice cubes for freshness, and the ice cubes made a crisp impact sound in her hands, but she didn't feel the cold, and the ice cubes in her hands never melted.
Zhou Xiaoan put down his hand in a dejected manner, and no longer had the excitement just now. She quickly walked out of the fresh area, walked through several rows of freezers in the fresh-keeping area and the freezer area, and then walked through the milk area, and finally aroused her interest in the middle and west pastry areas in front of her.
Without admiring the dazzling array of snacks and bread in the glass cover, Zhou Xiaoan walked quickly to the cake area and took out a piece of cheesecake from the crisper.
She's feeling a little depressed right now, and she urgently needs something sweet to calm her mood.
Since it's in his own dream, he has nothing to scruple about. Zhou Xiaoan sat on the ground, took out several small cakes, and ate them in the same order.
After eating, the mood really improved a lot, and the people also wanted to open a little, and just about to continue shopping, his body suddenly felt a pain, and Zhou Xiaoan opened his eyes suddenly.
"Hurry up and eat!" Wang Lamei pinched Zhou Xiaoan again with a calm face, "What time is it!" Not up yet! Hurry up! I don't have time to spend it with you! ”
Zhou Xiaoan looked around, the morning light poured into the window, it had been bright for a while, and everyone was getting up one after another.
Seeing that the second daughter was stunned and didn't hurry up to get up, Wang Lamei pushed her impatiently.
She is so big and strong that she almost didn't push Zhou Xiaoan under the bed.
"You dead! Hurry up! I have to go back and coax the kids! Why do you want me to wait for you to wash your face?! Wang Lamei usually has this attitude towards the children in the family, noisy and scolding, and it will not change because her second daughter is injured.
Zhou Xiaoan didn't care about her attitude, touched her shriveled belly, looked at the gray cloth bag on the bed, her stomach hurt uncontrollably, and the cloth bag must have brought breakfast from Wang Lamei.
No matter how much she ate in her dream, she quickly struggled to get up, ignoring the injuries on her body, and went to the water room at the end of the corridor to wash her face and rinse her mouth as quickly as possible, and walked back with a wet water stain.
She didn't have any toiletries, and Wang Lamei didn't bring them to her, so she could only deal with washing first, and everything would wait until she had filled her stomach.
Looking at the cloth bag on the bed, Zhou Xiaoan pointed to one of his hanging arms, "Auntie, what food did you bring me?" ”
Fortunately, the children of the Zhou family call Wang Lamei aunt, if they call their mother, Zhou Xiaoan will definitely not be able to call her.
"Debt collector! I am the land that I should have owed you in my last life! Wang Lamei scolded and scolded, and at the same time quickly untied the cloth bag with her hands and feet, and opened the aluminum lunch box inside, revealing three black vegetable dumplings.
The food supply is already very tight, and there are only one or two catties of cornmeal a month in the grain index, and the rest are all kinds of rice bran, dried sweet potatoes, and even substitute food with crushed straw.
Every family eats half bran and half vegetables, and at most add two handfuls of cornmeal to a large pot of bran vegetable dumplings, so that the dumplings can be grouped up and will not fail to form.
Zhou Xiaoan knew at a glance that this was the kind of bran dumplings that the Zhou family usually eats, she carefully picked one up, and before she could hand it to her mouth, she scattered it in an uproar, but fortunately, she had prepared it and received it in the lunch box.
When Wang Lamei saw it, her hand reacted faster than her mouth, and she slapped Zhou Xiao'an's head, "You are dead!" If you don't eat, put it down! Saving you these dry food from between your teeth, you are so bad? ”
Zhou Xiaoan's head was buzzing, although he was angry in his heart, he also knew that Wang Lamei was such a character, rough and irritable, except for the youngest daughter Zhou Xiaoling, she was like this to all the other children in the family, not just for her.
She can give a malnourished patient bran and vegetable dumplings, especially when there is cornmeal and soybeans at home, and this mother is ruthless enough.
Zhou Xiao'an's dowry of 100 catties of cornmeal, 20 catties of soybeans, and 2 catties of sugar must still be a lot left, Wang Lamei has long been accustomed to picking the door and the long stream of water, how could it be used up so quickly.
Zhou Xiaoan put down the lunch box and looked at Wang Lamei calmly, "Auntie, the doctor said that my disease is called severe malnutrition, and I have to eat some good supplements to get better." ”
At the mention of eating something good, Wang Lamei's eyes widened, and without waiting for her to speak, Zhou Xiaoan hurriedly added, "If you don't make up for it, you won't be able to go to work in the future." ”
If you can't go to work, how can you have money and food stamps for your family?
Wang Lamei's words were held back, and Zhou Xiaoan still looked so faint, "Our family's conditions are not good, and I can't make it difficult for my family, just like Xiaoling can make up for it." with the grain and sugar in my bride price. ”
Wang Lamei shouted about the bran dumplings that her family saved for her, Zhou Xiaoan knew that rebuttal was also a dispute between words, but she also had to order this mother, she just ate the family's food, it was not for nothing, she earned it herself.
And Zhou Xiaoling didn't earn anything, but she could still make up for her body with great fanfare, why couldn't she?
"Supplement! Make it up to you! Eat my meat for you! Drink my blood! I am the land of your old Zhou family in my last life! Wang Lamei was blocked by Zhou Xiaoan and couldn't say anything, and began to curse and curse without a head.
Zhou Xiaoan didn't answer her stubble at all, and only made his own request, "Auntie, you come to fry some soybeans for me at noon, the doctor said that I need to eat fried soybeans and drink sugar water when I am sick." ”
Grandpa Zhou and his old friends once recalled that in this era, many people were so hungry that they were swollen and even severely malnourished, and there were no other supplements, so fried soybeans became the best life-saving medicine.
Even a grandfather Guo said that his mother was starved and had hepatitis, so she relied on a few catties of fried soybeans to raise her.
"At noon, I still have to cook for Dabao and Erbao! How can there be such idle time to serve you! Wang Lamei crackled the wrappers of the lunch box, and if she didn't answer Zhou Xiao'an's request for soybeans and sugar, she turned around and was about to go out.
"Auntie......" Zhou Xiaoan just opened her mouth to call her, and she turned back angrily, "These three dry foods are one at a time!" Eat for a day! You don't want to eat it all! I'm hungry for you when the time comes! ”
Zhou Xiaoan didn't look at the lunch box in his hand, and calmly asked her, "Auntie, I don't even have a cup to drink water, and I don't have toiletries, you can come again today, bring them to me." Give me another five cents, I'm on my period (menstruation), and I have to buy a knife of toilet paper. ”
"What toilet paper is a knife and five cents! What can't you do? How can I have any money for you! Wang Lamei exploded in one fell swoop, ignoring all of Zhou Xiaoan's needs, "What kind of hospital do you live in!" Don't you have that arm wrapped around you? You can't raise it when you go home? Also toiletries? Where am I going to give you the whole thing? Hurry up and get out of the hospital! ”
Zhou Xiaoan knew that most of these requests could not be met, but they had to be mentioned, otherwise many words and things would be difficult to say and do in the future.
"I give my family five yuan a month...... "As soon as Zhou Xiaoan started talking, Wang Lamei angrily took out two cents from her pocket and threw it on the bed, "Here you go!" Debt Collector! What did I do in my last life? ”
Throwing down the two cents, Wang Lamei left like a gust of wind, not giving Zhou Xiaoan any chance to speak.
Zhou Xiaoan didn't plan to waste words with her, these two cents were a windfall, she didn't expect her mother's family to do anything for her, and all the problems had to be solved by herself.
