Chapter 98: Rushing to the Market (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Xu Guodong listened to Li Meihua's heart-wrenching words and asked in a deep voice: "Old family! What are you talking about? Aren't you sarcastic and complaining about your father? ”
Li Meihua yelled angrily: "I just blame you!" It's not that you condone my mother! Is a whole family starving now? Adults can do anything! How can you watch a few children starve and still care? They are all your own grandchildren and granddaughters! You're giving the kids a bite to eat! Why can't they be fed? How much can a child eat? Why do you allow the old woman to exploit the child's rations, when the child will not starve? ”
Xu Guodong was speechless when he listened to Li Meihua's questioning! He has been selfish and cold all his life, and the departure of his second son hit him hard, and he has figured out a lot of things! For the sake of his future pension problems, I want to be kind to my children, and I also want a bowl of water to be level, and I am no longer biased! He thought that they should be grateful to Dade for giving them a bite to eat! He wasn't hungry himself, so he didn't think about or care about how much they ate or not! Even if I knew they didn't have enough to eat, I didn't think I could starve to death! Xu Guodong looked at the bun in front of him, and suddenly felt that this bun was a little dazzling!
He closed his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Old man, take the buns back and leave them for the children to eat!" Dad can't guarantee that his child won't go hungry all the time! But as long as there is a bite to eat, the father must come with the child first! ”
Li Meihua listened to her father-in-law finally say something human, and then said: "Buns, you can keep them and eat them!" The kids are well fed! I won't go hungry again! The third brother and sister gave me the capital, and I decided to go to the town to sell food! We can't just point to you all the time to help raise a child! I just want to beg you to take care of it! Stop exploiting us to favor the old four families! I make money, and I hope my mother doesn't worry! Don't worry, as long as my conditions are good, I won't ignore you two elders! ”
Xu Guodong nodded and said, "Okay!" It's good that you have an idea, eldest daughter-in-law! Daddy won't hold you back! From now on, your mother-in-law will definitely not dare to make trouble anymore! ”
Li Meihua got the assurance of her father-in-law and walked out satisfied!
When Wu Meifeng ran into the house scolding, and was about to reach out to take the buns on the kang when she saw them, she was kicked out by Xu Guodong! was beaten by Xu Guodong again! I didn't give up until I hit Wu Meifeng and told me again and again!
This time, Wu Meifeng was scared by Xu Guodong, and she didn't dare to deduct food at the dinner table! But even if you want to deduct it, there is not much you can deduct at home! The current situation of the old house is really up and down!
Li Meihua is also a neat character, and she saw her mother-in-law stop! I went to my neighbor's to buy vegetables that day, and at this time there were still many people who were willing to make money secretly! Coincidentally, it was just over the New Year, and many people killed pigs and left a lot of pork, Li Meihua bought 4 yuan of pork and a few Chinese cabbage!
Early the next morning, Li Meihua began to knead or trap! Li Meihua was reluctant to use the white flour, and made 80 cornmeal buns with ten catties of cornmeal, and calculated the cost of a total of 7 yuan! Because food is too expensive now, cornmeal is nearly 3 cents a catty, and if it is usual, it will be 9 cents a catty!
Li Meihua wrapped the bun in oiled paper and put it in a bamboo basket, covered with several layers of thick cotton cloth! I'm about to set off with a basket on my back!
Xu Jiacheng looked at Li Meihua, who had been busy early in the morning, and asked, "Daughter-in-law, do you need me to accompany you to take a look!" ”
Li Meihua clenched her fists to cheer herself up! looked at Xu Jiacheng and said, "No, you take good care of the children at home, and I'll come back after I sell them!" Wait for my good news! After saying that, he walked out with his chest up and his head up!
Tranquility and Ning's mother also took their two children to the town early in the morning, and happened to meet Li Meihua on the ox cart!
Li Meihua saw the tranquility of holding the child and hurriedly came over! "Brother and sister, are you going to the market today? Sister-in-law, thank you for your help! It's going to kill someone in your house without you! ”
Tranquility held her happiness and found a place to sit down, and then said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you don't need to see outside, how is Xiye?" Still have a fever? Are you going to the market to buy groceries? ”
Li Meihua touched her head and said embarrassedly, "No, I got up early this morning and steamed 80 big buns, and I plan to try it in town today!" The child is much better today, he doesn't burn, he gets up on the kang, and he looks more energetic! After speaking, he looked at the child in Ningning's arms and asked, "Is the second niece making trouble?" You said that my sister-in-law hadn't been to see the child for so long! Brother and sister, don't be like your sister-in-law! ”
Tranquility pursed her lips and said lightly, "The child is very obedient and hasn't bothered me!" "Serenity is not the Virgin, it is impossible not to have complaints against them! It's just that they married Xu Jiacong, after all, they raised Xu Jiacong, and it is impossible to completely ignore them, and Ning Ning also hopes that their lives can be good, so that they won't even be unable to eat!
Li Meihua looked at the cold tranquility and closed her mouth with interest! also understands that she has done her best to do what she is now! Empathy, if it were you, you would probably be watching the joke from the side! And laugh and scold, "It really should!" ”
As the ox carts slowly moved, they finally arrived in the lively town, and the new atmosphere of the new year washed away the gloom caused by many tsunamis!
There are really a lot of people rushing to the market in the town, crowded with people, all come to the market to hang out in this warm weather in early spring, even if they don't buy anything, it is also a pleasant thing to join in the excitement, and many of them are survivors of the disaster area who have come to join their relatives here!
Tranquility and Ning's mother separated from Li Meihua after getting off the ox cart, Tranquility can only help so much, and what will happen to them after that can only rely on themselves!
After Li Meihua got off the ox cart, she looked at the lively market and the crowded crowd, and became a little timid! Finally, I bit it, walked up, and saw that there were many people who set up stalls at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, and there was really no one to care, Li Meihua was a lot more relieved!
Listen to the shouts coming from the stalls! Li Meihua blushed and began to shout, "Buns! Hot meat buns! "After shouting a few times, see if anyone is looking this way! Li Meihua bit her lip, tore her throat open, and began to shout loudly, "Meat buns, one dime!" Fragrant meat buns! ”
At this time, a five-year-old child next to Li Meihua pulled the sleeve of the woman next to him and said, "Mom! Mom! I want to eat meat buns! Buy me one! ”
The woman looked at the child's begging eyes, and finally gritted her teeth and bought one for the child! Li Meihua wrapped it in oiled paper with a smile and successfully sold the first bun in her life!
The children can't wait to eat the buns when they get them! The aroma of steamed buns spreads nearby!
The nearby villagers looked at the children eating fragrant meat buns, smelled the fragrance of the buns, and swallowed their saliva greedily!
