Fang Pingying put her plaid clothes on her body, afraid that it would be too tight, so she left it open, without buttons, and she also wore a really good shirt that she usually wears outside, which is no big deal.

When she went to the stove house, Luo Honglan was already washing rice and preparing to cook porridge.

Luo Honglan wore two clothes, but there were several small patches on the clothes, and the clothes looked a little fat, not like her own.

Fang Pingying thought that she would take her to the town later, so she told her, "After eating, your eldest brother is watching at home, let's go to the town to buy something." ”

Luo Honglan was very happy when she heard that she could go to the town, and looked at Fang Pingying with a smile, "Really, sister-in-law, you take me to the town?" ”

Fang Pingying smiled and rubbed her hair, "Silly girl, I haven't been to the county seat, haven't you even been to the town, and I'm so happy to go to a town." ”

Luo Honglan stretched out her head and looked at the yard, and whispered, "Actually, I haven't been there for a while, and my parents often go to buy things at home, and I want to watch the house at home, and I have food and clothing at home, and there is nothing to buy, and my mother generally doesn't let me walk around." ”

"Then I'll go to the town and have something you want to buy, and if you have one, I'll buy it back." Fang Pingying asked her, mixed some water in the pot, and waited for Luo Honglan to put the rice in to boil the porridge.

"Fang girl has a good-looking hairpin, she said she bought it in the town, I want to buy one." Luo Honglan tilted her head and thought about it, and then smiled with satisfaction like a child, "The card is not expensive, as long as it costs two cents, I have my own money." ”

"Buy it if you like it." After Fang Pingying finished speaking, she pointed to the clothes on her body and asked her, "Do you have any other clothes, change your clothes when you go out." ”

"Yes, I'll change it when it comes out." Luo Honglan nodded hurriedly.

After Fang Pingying smiled and responded, she helped Luo Honglan make breakfast together.

There was no food left last night, so I boiled porridge again in the morning.

Fang Pingying is in charge of the food, and the food at home is not as luxurious as before, there is no meat in the rice porridge, only some green vegetables and fresh corn kernels.

In addition, Fang Pingying kneaded some of the cornmeal that was originally issued at home and made some corn steamed buns.

Eating green vegetable polenta with steamed buns in the morning is not only money-saving and nutritious, not to mention at this time, even decades later, such a breakfast is also good.

The Luo family didn't say anything after they got up, in fact, they could all see that although the family used to eat a lot of meat, because Zhou Yunmei was too lazy, every meal was improvised.

In order to avoid trouble, she always cooks the day's dishes in the morning, and if the weather is not too cold, sometimes she is too lazy to heat at noon and night, so she eats casually.

But since Fang Pingying came to the house, although she eats less meat, as long as she has time, she is willing to spend her time to get food, and the things that she has put her heart into are naturally delicious.

After getting used to it, the family has no opinion on the food.

Before, although Fang Pingying was cooking, but because the food fee was paid by Zhou Yunmei, Zhou Yunmei saw that Fang Pingying could help the family save a lot of food money one day, most of the time, when she was in a good mood, she was also happy, and praised Fang Pingying for her life, and the other party who had something to say said said that being a daughter-in-law has to be so good at budgeting.

Now that it is Fang Pingying's turn to manage the money, she naturally begins to be dissatisfied with the food in her heart, but the rest of the family doesn't say it, and she is embarrassed to say too much, only when she is in a bad mood or has an opinion with Fang Pingying, she will use the topic to play a role.

After breakfast, Fang Ping cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, cleaned the stove house, and took the money from the house to go to the town to buy things.

Seeing Luo Honglan change her clothes and come out of the house, Fang Pingying suddenly remembered that she wanted to ask Zhou Yunmei about taking cloth to make clothes, so she went to Zhou Yunmei's house and asked her, "Mom, is there any new cloth that has not been used at home?" ”

Zhou Yunmei still hated what Fang Pingying said about money, she didn't have a good face, and replied lightly, "What do you want to do?" ”

"Seeing that the season is about to change, I am thinking about making a new dress for Zhiyong, except for the military uniforms he brought back from the army, he does not have a decent regular uniform." Fang Pingying deliberately didn't say that she wanted to make clothes, but only said Luo Zhiyong, wanting to see Zhou Yunmei's attitude, if Zhou Yunmei agreed, she would say that she also wanted to make clothes.

If Zhou Yunmei is not even satisfied with making clothes for Luo Zhiyong, let alone hers.

After Fang Pingying asked, Luo Dashan, who was sitting on the kang, hurriedly responded, "Yes, yes, when you got married a few days ago, many relatives sent cloth to do favors, you take some and make a suit for you and Zhiyong, and those cloths are also shelved......

Before Luo Dashan's words were finished, Zhou Yunmei yelled at him, "What's there, those cloths are favors from others, and we have to repay favors when the time comes, but now we are not as good as before, saying that we can take out money to repay favors at any time, just a few pieces of cloth, if you use them yourself, what if you want to repay favors in the future." ”

Fang Pingying didn't say much after hearing this, she replied with a light smile, "It's okay, Mom, if you want to use those cloths, keep them, I just came over and asked, if not, I'll go back to the town to buy some, no matter what, I still have to wear this clothes." ”

Fang Pingying didn't plan to ask for cloth from Zhou Yunmei, but she just went through the motions, and after the province bought the cloth back, Zhou Yunmei was crooked again, saying why she condemned the family for spending money lavishly, but she didn't save at all. 、

If Zhou Yunmei really said this, if her cloth is used to take away favors, Fang Pingying doesn't think it's anything, anyway, she has to spend money to buy it later, and now she also spends money, and it is the same when she buys it, Fang Pingying will not be stingy and calculate her little cloth.

After speaking, Fang Pingying called Luo Honglan to go to the town.

At this time, the town was far less lively than before, and it was not a market day, except for the people who lived around the town because of some things passing through the town, there was no one else to see.

The one who sells things is the supply and marketing cooperative, which is open.

Fang Pingying took Luo Honglan straight to the supply and marketing cooperative, first went to the counter of the monopoly to buy some honey, and asked if there were any fresh lemons, the supply and marketing cooperatives said no, and they didn't even know what it was.

At this time, honey was not expensive compared to decades later, and I bought a large bottle for two yuan, and the seller said that it was local local honey, which was of high purity.

Fang Pingying doesn't understand these either, and she doesn't pay attention to these when she makes hawthorn sauce, so she buys it when she thinks it's appropriate.

After buying honey, Fang Pingying took Luo Honglan to the counter specializing in girls' headdress hairpins, and chose a few hairpins and a few headbands for her, and spent a few cents, and Fang Pingying paid her.

The little girl held those hairpins and laughed, "Sister-in-law is so good, I grew so big, my mother has never bought me such a beautiful thing, and all I wear is to pick up my sister's leftovers." ”

Fang Pingying touched her forehead and said with a smile, "You can't say this when you go back, my mother will be angry." ”

Luo Honglan stuck out her tongue and whispered, "I know, I'll tell you secretly." ”

"Let's go, I'll go buy some cloth to make clothes, and you and I will go with you." After Fang Pingying finished speaking, she pulled Luo Honglan to the counter specializing in selling fabrics.
