"That's it." Bai San nodded, grinning and said, "Then I'll buy it tomorrow, no, I'll buy it here in the future, and I won't book it for you, I'll come early tomorrow." ”

Save people from waiting here for so long.

"Done." Zhuang Qingning also smiled.

After Bai San left, Zhuang Qingning packed up the bamboo basket and cloth, said goodbye to the Liu family, and led Zhuang Qingsui to buy the things that should be bought.

Regularly buy some soybeans and a small amount of rice noodles, buy them back in batches, and save the excess for emergencies, Zhuang Qingning led Zhuang Qingsui to look for cloth.

The spring clothes exchanged in the system are also on their bodies, and many farmers have dismantled the winter jackets to remove the cotton, and then sewn them into spring clothes, the winter clothes on the two of them are too shabby, and there is no need to toss them anymore.

Ordinary cotton coarse cloth, the big girls and little daughters-in-law who are ingenious and diligent will weave, self-sufficient, at most the mother-in-law is clumsy, and no one will choose to buy coarse cloth outside, so the coarse cloth is not sold well, and the price is low.

The two sisters were full of money, two sets of clothes, two pairs of cloth for shoes, a total of 12 yuan, paid for the cloth, put it in the bamboo basket, and the sisters went to buy a pound of pork belly according to Wen's instructions.

Worried about eating it himself, Zhuang Qingning also bought half a catty of pork belly for himself, and went back at noon to fry the meat sauce and make fried noodles to eat.

I went to the wine shop that Wen said to get a drink, and the two sisters went back.

When I got to the house, I put the things together first, and let Zhuang Qingsui wash the meat at home, and under it, Zhuang Qingning sent the meat and wine to the Wen family.

"Came back so late?" Wen had already had lunch at home.

Rice, scrambled eggs with green onions, spinach salad.

"Something has been delayed." Zhuang Qingning smiled: "Pork belly, and wine, put it in the stove room for you?" ”

"Put it inside, I'll clean it up later." Wen didn't raise his head and said.

"Cheng, then I'll go first." Zhuang Qingning put the things in the stove room and raised his feet to come out.

"Let's go." Wen still ate with his head down.

Zhuang Qingning's footsteps suddenly paused slightly.

In the past, when she left, Wen always snorted coldly, but now that she is speaking, her voice does not sound as mean as before.

Probably, is it in a good mood?

It should be, or if you buy wine and meat, maybe it's a happy event to celebrate.

Zhuang Qingning thought that when he arrived in the courtyard, Zhuang Qingsui had already reconciled the noodles and was awake there.

The pork belly is cut into small diced meat, fried into the iron pot of ginger, garlic and onion shreds into meat sauce, rolled into a thin sheet of dough with a large rolling pin, and then folded and cut into thin noodles, boiled in the pot, fished out and passed a cold water, poured with fragrant meat sauce, and the fragrant mixed sauce noodles are out of the pot.

With the soup, the sisters held the bowl and talked and laughed for lunch.

Take a nap after lunch and wake up late in the evening as usual.

Scrambled eggs with green onions, spinach tossed with vermicelli, white rice porridge and green onion cakes.

After dinner, it was not dark yet.

Zhuang Qingsui went to the inside of the house, outside the stove room, and kept wandering.

"What are you looking for?" Zhuang Qingning was quite surprised when she saw her flipping through this and planing that.

"I'll see if there's a shovel, hoe or something." Zhuang Qingsui finally dug out a hoe in a corner, because it had been useless for a long time, and it was rusty because of the sun and wind.

"It works." Zhuang Qingsui looked left and right for a long time, tried again, and then raised his face and said: "I saw that the open space in this yard is also large, and it is a waste to be idle in vain, so I thought about digging up the soil in the yard and planting some vegetables and vegetables, which is enough for us to eat on weekdays." ”

The vegetables and vegetables eaten these days are all bought from the market, whether it is money or not, it is not easy for my sister to make money, Zhuang Qingsui thought, how to save some.

Since she is young and stupid, she can't think of making a living, so she thinks more about how to save money.

"That's good." Zhuang Qingning nodded very approvingly: "This should be planted cucumbers and loofahs or something, let's also plant some, and we won't be able to eat this dish in the summer." ”

"Then you try to hoe the ground first, I'll go to Aunt He's house next to me, and I'll be back in a while, you can rest when you're tired, don't be reckless."

"Sister, go ahead, I know." Zhuang Qingsui found a coarse porcelain shard and tried to grind the rusty hoe, which could also be used more easily.

Zhuang Qingning went out and went to Aunt He's, holding the cotton cloth he bought from the cloth village in his hand.

Aunt He, He's family, is the wife of Zhuang Yonghe in the village, in her early thirties, and Zhuang Qingning's family used to be good friends, when Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui were adopted by Zhuang Ruman and the Song family, they often thought about the two of them and spoke for them.

It's just slowly, and it's less.

First, Zhuang Ruman and Song did not have a good face, they always spoke ill of each other, and once they spoke, they treated Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui worse.

The second is to help the emergency not to help the poor, this is not a matter of helping one or two times, it is how many years in the future, for one or two times, it will be okay to eat once or twice, and it will not be able to help for so long in the future.

In the end, the sisters are a bottomless hole, each family's food and money are hard-earned, and life is still tight, naturally they have no ability, and they can't give birth to so much compassion to help other people's families.

This is also why Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui set up a female household, and the work of two or three days spread throughout the village, knowing that the two people have no house, no land, and no livelihood at all, but no one is willing to take the initiative to help.

Helping others is love, not helping is duty, there is no reason in the world to ask others to do something because they are poor or poor, and all people have done nothing wrong.

Zhuang Qingning understands this truth.

When they arrived at He's house, the courtyard door was open, and their family had just finished dinner, and He was beckoning the children to help clean up the dishes and chopsticks and benches, fetch water and prepare to wash the dishes and chopsticks.

"Auntie." Zhuang Qingning shouted sweetly and walked in.

"Ning girl?" When He Shi saw Zhuang Qingning, he was also a little curious, and when he saw what kind of cloth bag Zhuang Qingning seemed to be holding in his hand in the dim light, his brows furrowed slightly.

Telling the children to fetch water and wash the dishes, He walked over quickly and pulled Zhuang Qingning to the corner of the courtyard to speak: "Why are you here?" ”

"There is something to do, I want to ask my aunt for a favor......" Zhuang Qingning said with a smile.

He Shi's brows became a little higher.

Looking at it like this, I should be borrowing food.

Also, although I heard that the sisters Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui rented Wen's tofu workshop, and they wanted to grind tofu and sell it in the town for money in the future, it was easy to grind tofu, and I heard that Wen didn't teach them how to grind tofu.
