26. 026 It's hard to buy meat
Selling good grain, He Shi carried a bag of copper coins, thanked Uncle Yun and was about to leave, when he was guessed that she would come to the town to catch the market today and the sister-in-law Li Shi, who was waiting in the morning, shouted:
"Yesterday, I heard Xiao Jia's Xiaowu say that Meiya and Xiu only quit their marriage?"
He Shi responded, Li's face sank, gritted his teeth and scolded: "The second family is getting more and more disagreeable, all these things have been done, let your eldest brother go back and beat him another day, don't do things too much." ”
He smiled bitterly, "Sister-in-law's kindness is understood by us, if it is not Meiniang, it is not hers, no one can snatch it away if it is hers. ”
Li sighed, but he also knew that this was the truth.
Since the death of Old Man Yun, Old Mrs. Yun has become more and more partial to her second son, and what she does on weekdays has chilled Uncle Yun's family.
In addition, the shop has been very busy, and it has been some years since I returned to Baohe Village for the New Year, and I only let people bring back a lot of things to Mrs. Yun during the New Year's holidays.
Naturally, most of those things belong to the second family, and everyone knows it, but they just open and close their eyes.
After all, the mother-in-law is an elder, and the Li family and the He family are both virtuous, and it is not easy to discuss no matter how many mothers-in-law there are not them.
"Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, can my uncle and sister-in-law go back this year?" Seeing that Li was silent, He thought about changing the topic.
Li and He have always had a good relationship, and they had a lot of help when they were in one place, and now although they don't come and go often, every time He comes to town, Li is also quite enthusiastic.
If the uncle's family can go back for the New Year this year, the He family will be happy to see it.
Listening to He's question, Li nodded, "This year, the shop has not received much grain, and the price of rice and grain has been high, not many people can buy grain, and the business is much worse than in previous years, so it will not be very busy at the end of the year, your eldest brother means to go back for the New Year." It's just that my mother-in-law now lives with my second uncle, and I'm afraid it's inconvenient for us to live in the past......"
Before Li finished speaking, He smiled and said: "What a big deal, although my family is smaller, it is not a problem to live in my sister-in-law's family of four, if the second uncle's family can't live, it is good to live in my house, and then let Yueniang and Meiniang have a house, they have a house, and we can talk about ourselves." ”
Li also smiled: "It's so good, go back and talk to your eldest brother, it's so decided." ”
The two of them had a family meeting again, and Li sent He out of the shop, and saw Yun Mei Niang with a sentimental face outside the shop.
The two of them only thought that she was sad because of Xiucai's matter, looked at each other, and pretended not to know.
He took Meiniang to the cloth village to pull a few feet of flower cloth, and weighed a few catties of cotton, which cost less than 100 Wen.
This year's grain is expensive, and those who have spare money have bought grain and hoarded it at home, and things like clothes that are beautiful but not full are very cheap.
Even if it is the Chinese New Year, there are not many people who buy cloth to make clothes, and the relative price has dropped a lot.
After buying the cloth, He wanted to buy some more meat to eat for the Chinese New Year, but after going around the market for a week, he didn't see a stall selling meat.
Presumably, the farmers raised pigs and kept them for their own consumption, and it was not easy for the butcher to collect the pigs.
In desperation, He had to buy some small items such as pots and pans, of course, they were all very cheap.
When he came to a bowl shop, the sixteen or seventeen-year-old bowl seller gave He a mysterious look and motioned for her to follow her into the shop.
