Chapter 16 Returning
After buying clothes, the mother and daughter left the ready-to-wear store. Fortunately, before going out, the Ye family went to Li Chunlan's house to borrow a basket, otherwise it would be really difficult for them to buy so many things. But despite this, Li Jinshu still carried a few small things in his hands.
It was not wise to walk home, so the mother and daughter decided to take a ride. However, when he went out of town, he passed by the vegetable market, Li Jinshu looked at the stall selling meat, and couldn't help swallowing.
She has been meatless since she was a child, and this meat really can't be saved. So she immediately grabbed Ye Shi and said coquettishly: "Mother, we haven't eaten meat for a long time." ”
Ye Shi saw through his daughter's careful thoughts at a glance, and when he saw her cute appearance, he couldn't help but laugh immediately.
"Okay! Then let's go buy some meat and go back. ”
In this era, the family conditions that can eat meat are good, so there are not many people who buy meat in front of the meat stall. As soon as Ye walked over with Li Jinshu, the owner of the butcher stall greeted the two warmly.
"What do you two want to buy? I'm selling fresh pork, pigs I just killed last night. ”
Li Jinshu's gaze swept over the ribs, pork belly and lean meat one by one, and his eyes were about to glow: "Boss, how do you sell all this meat?" ”
"Two pieces of bones, three pieces of pork liver, eight pieces of pork ribs, ten pieces of lean meat, twelve pieces of pork belly, and fourteen pieces of fatty meat."
No matter what era it is, meat is really not cheap. Li Jinshu turned his head to look at Ye, and wanted to ask her what to buy, but he didn't want Ye to not speak, but signaled Li Jinshu with his eyes to make up his own mind.
"That'...... Two catties of bones, two catties of lean meat, and one catty of pork belly. ”
The boss happily cut the meat and weighed it one by one. It took a total of thirty-six wen, which was almost worth Li Jinshu's new clothes. However, Ye did not show heartache, but paid with a smile, and left with his daughter with meat.
The ox cart back to the village is still the same one that I took yesterday, but there are a few more people who take the car today. Because today is the day of the market in Mingyang Town, there are quite a few people in the village who come to the town today.
Although not everyone has money in their families these days, some people are still willing to spend two pennies to ride an ox cart. Seeing Ye and Li Jinshu's mother and daughter in the car, the people in the same village were quite surprised, but everyone was neighbors, so they didn't forget to say hello.
"Sister Ye, you also brought Xiaojin to the market today."
"Yes, there are a lot of things that are missing at home, so I have to buy some more."
Ye's popularity is still quite good, so he quickly chatted with others. However, after a while, everyone began to gossip.
"Hey! Li Quanfu's two sons too, if we hadn't listened to Xiaojin's words yesterday, we wouldn't have known that you had suffered so much in the Li family. It's okay for the two of you to move out, although life is a little harder now, but you are a diligent person, and Xiaojin is so sensible, life will definitely get better and better. ”
Someone next to him chimed in: "Yes." I heard that you have moved to Uncle Zhang's old house, and the house has not been inhabited for several years, can you still live in it? ”
"Clean it up, it'll be fine for the time being."
A group of women chattered all the way like this, and Li Jinshu's ears were calloused. Fortunately, the village had arrived, and the ox cart stopped at the entrance of the village, and everyone said goodbye to each other.
Ye walked home with his things on his back, passing by the outside of the Li family's yard, and happened to meet the Li family cleaning in the yard. As soon as the figures of the mother and daughter appeared, they unexpectedly attracted a roll of the eyes of the Li family. But at the moment, Jinshu doesn't have the heart to deal with her.
