Chapter 52: I still want to eat tofu

There is nothing to be sick with, nothing is nothing without money, Jiang Mi is now deeply aware of the importance of money.

Obviously, the turmoil in this family has not yet reached its peak, and Jiang Xiaoyu suddenly jumped into the house amid Li Lamei's nagging.

"Mom, Mom, the tofu seller is here! If you don't buy it, you won't have it! ”

"What tofu to buy, what tofu to buy? No money! Li Lamei became angry when she heard that her son wanted something.

My husband hasn't been home for almost two months, and the few cents he has left in his hand are not enough to buy salt. Where do I have the spare money to buy tofu for my son?

Tofu is bought for three cents a pound with money, in fact, it is cost-effective to exchange soybeans, but this year there are no beans at home, Li Lamei saw that her son was entwined with wood, so she took out the half-burned branch in the stove and suddenly inserted it into the ash under the stove.

"Mom, Mom, I haven't eaten tofu for a long time......" Jiang Xiaoyu twisted Li Lamei's shoulder,

Jiang Xiaoyu knew that he was like that. He's not afraid of his mother beating him, he's grown so big, his mother is shouting and shouting, and he hasn't actually moved a finger.

"Okay, little ancestor, you come down for me!"

Li Lamei instantly made a fuss for her son and lost her temper.

He dropped the stick and tore away his son's skinny little hands. got up and went to the east room, took out a broken handkerchief bag from under the kang mat, took out two cents from it, and put it into his son's small hand one by one.

"Well, let's buy it."

When he got the money, Jiang Xiaoyu cheered and ran down the street.

"How much tofu can you buy for two cents?"

The tofu seller was a little dumbfounded when he looked at the two coins lying in the small hand of the child in front of him.

looked at the patch clothes and pants on Jiang Xiaoyu's body again, couldn't help but touch Jiang Xiaoyu's brain door with pity, sighed and said, "Grandpa doesn't want your money, grandpa will give you a piece of tofu to eat." ”

As soon as Jiang Xiaoyu heard that there was such a good thing, the two eyes as black as coal cores suddenly lit up, and the thief stared brightly at the cart of the old man selling tofu.

A large wooden box of tofu was attached to the wheelbarrow. The box was covered with a layer of yellowed cotton gauze, and when the cotton gauze was opened, the delicate tofu was revealed.

The old man who sold tofu used a long knife to cut a fist-sized piece of tofu along the corner, and just handed it to Jiang Xiaoyu, Jiang Xiaoyu swallowed half of it in one bite.

After eating two bites in the blink of an eye, Jiang Xiaoyu felt like a small hand stretched out in his stomach, and his eyes were staring at the tofu in the car. Apparently the kid didn't have enough to eat.

The old man who sells tofu is not rich at home, so he gave the child a piece for free, and he already felt that he was generous enough, and he stared at his tofu stall when he saw Jiang Xiaoyu staring at him. I couldn't help but be frightened, quickly picked up the handlebars, and was about to walk out of the village.

"Grandpa, don't go! I still want to eat tofu! ”

Jiang Xiaoyu was anxious. walked up with his calves, pulling the corner of the tofu seller's clothes and refusing to let go.

The old man who sold tofu couldn't help crying and laughing. I can't help but regret it, I shouldn't have been kind just now, no, it's going to cause trouble.

Putting down the car, the old man selling tofu discussed with Jiang Xiaoyu: "You go back and ask your mother for five dimes, and the rest of the more than two catties of tofu will be given to you by grandpa." ”

The old man who sells tofu is a big sale.

But Li Lamei only had five or six cents in her hand, and she took it out to buy tofu, and in the future, the family didn't even have the money to buy foreign fires (matches).

Jiang Xiaoyu saw that such a large piece of tofu was about to disappear, so he couldn't help but lie down on the ground in anger, splashing and rolling and crying.

Jiang Mi frowned and endured his annoyance and finished writing the last word.

folded the letter and put it in the corner of the table, turned around and walked out of the room, pulled up Jiang Xiaoyu and slapped him first, and shouted, "What is the trouble?" Isn't it just a piece of tofu, sister will buy it for you! ”
