Chapter 8: Start shopping
Hiding the fifty-four tablets in her sleeve, Li Miaomiao began to think about what to buy, the shortage of rice and food, the shortage of seasonings, not to mention the countless household goods at home, forget it, the people take food as the sky, and filling their stomachs is the most important thing at the moment.
Let Aunt Wang take her around the town to see if there is anything she can earn a living. Taiping Town is still quite large, restaurants, cloth villages, silver buildings, rice grain stores, grocery stores, just like what you see on TV, you have everything.
After a walk, the two went straight to the rice grain store. The black noodles cost four cents a catty, Li Miaomiao bought three catties, and the thin noodles cost seven cents a catty, and Li Miaomiao gritted her teeth and bought two catties. Of course, I was blocked by Aunt Wang, thinking that she couldn't live anymore, but thinking of my younger sibling's thin and unadult-like body, I still bought it.
I originally wanted to buy some rice, but when I heard the price of ten wen a catty, Li Miaomiao decisively chose to give up, she couldn't afford to eat it, and she was reluctant to buy brown rice for five wen a catty.
Salt costs 15 wen a catty, and 1 catty, and soybean oil costs 10 wen a catty, and 1 catty, so far, there are only three wen left in 54 wen. put the things into the basket on Aunt Wang's back, Li Miaomiao ended up carrying it on her back, and the two set off to rush home.
Aunt Wang was distressed and wanted to help her carry it, but Li Miaomiao also refused, this body will have to bear heavy pressure sooner or later, so she should adapt to it in advance.
Walking to the gate of the town, the fragrance from the bun shop made Li Miaomiao unable to walk. She didn't want to break her promise, so she raised her legs like a bun shop.
"What are you doing, girl, you want to buy steamed buns, you have to save that few big money, you can't spend it any more", Aunt Wang hurriedly grabbed Li Miaomiao's arm and didn't let her go.
"Auntie, I promised Lei Lei and Yanyan to buy them food, I can't break my promise, besides, you have worked hard with me, and I don't want to go if I don't invite you to eat a bun."
"You child, what are you polite to your aunt, then you go buy it, just buy two, your aunt is not hungry", Aunt Wang was moved when she heard Li Miaomiao's words, this child is a good child, she can't eat enough, and she can still think of her, it doesn't hurt in vain.
There are two vegetable buns for one penny, one penny for meat buns, and three pennies left, Li Miaomiao sold six vegetable buns, and at this point, she has become penniless again, how can this money be so unspent.
She asked the boss to pack two oil-paper packets separately, one for three, walked to Aunt Wang's side, and handed one to her, "Auntie, this is for you, take it back to Da Niu and Erya to eat."
"Miao Miao, auntie can't ask for it, you can take it back and give it to Lei Lei Yanyan to eat, Er Ya and Da Niu have something to eat", Aunt Wang refused to accept it.
Li Miaomiao directly put the oiled paper bag into Aunt Wang's basket, "Auntie, don't be polite to me, I treat you as a family, Da Niu and Erya are my own brothers and sisters, Lei Lei and Yanyan have them, I will not be less, I just bought six, we are a family of three, just enough points, you are shirking, you just don't treat me as a family", and turned his head to the side pretending to be angry.
"Good boy, my aunt will accept it, my aunt knows your filial piety, and if there is anything in the future, my aunt will only say it, and my aunt will promise to do it properly for you."
"Knowing my aunt, it's good that you don't bother me in the future, I may have to trouble you every day", said affectionately holding Aunt Wang's arm and setting off in the direction of home.
This person who gave Li Miaomiao warmth after she opened her eyes, she was willing to do her best to repay her. The warmth that I worked so hard to get in my previous life was so easy to get in this life, and I was quite lucky.
Moreover, in the memory of the original owner, Aunt Wang seems to be closer than her mother, and after the separation, Aunt Wang has taken care of the three siblings more than her mother.
I have the impression that Miao Cuilan, the mother of the original owner, seems to be a lady in distress from a large family, and when she fled, she was rescued by Li Sanzhuang, the father of the original owner, and married Li Sanzhuang as a wife. But she can't look down on Li Sanzhuang's identity as a muddy leg, and she has been looking for trouble since marriage, and even her three children have not taken care of it much, all of them are Li Sanzhuang's father and mother alone.
And the reason why part of the family is divided is the big house and the second room, the grandmother's deliberate difficulty, and the bigger part is that Li Sanzhuang can't bear to be angry with his daughter-in-law, so he insists on going out of the house to separate the family. After the separation, her mother didn't care about it, and she was very bored with the child and Li Sanzhuang. In order to let his daughter-in-law and children live a good life, Li Sanzhuang chose to go hunting in the deep mountains where no one dared to enter, and buried himself.
And Miao Cuilan still thinks she is a rich lady, she doesn't do anything, but instructs the young children to do this and that, if it weren't for Aunt Wang's help, these would have been gone a long time ago.
As soon as Li Sanzhuang died, she followed, showing to the outside that it was a deep relationship between husband and wife, which was simply evading responsibility, she just didn't want to suffer and chose to be free, and never considered whether the child could live without losing his parents.
, no wonder I don't have many memories of my mother in my original mind, they are all painful memories. Li Miaomiao only felt that her liver hurt, compared to her mother in her previous life, it was really better, fortunately, it was gone, otherwise she would not have the confidence to stay here. It doesn't matter if the days are hard, if she wants to face strange things every day, she would rather choose to die again.
Pity Li Sanzhuang, an honest man, and take a strange thing to pet like a baby. But he is really a good father, and his love for his three sisters and brothers just recalls it in his mind, which makes Li Miaomiao feel warm.
