Chapter 20: The Joy of Little Pickles
"Xiaomu is here, hurry up, get it for my aunt first!"
"Auntie, there is no bag today, I have to bring your bowl, and I will put it in the bowl for you!"
"That's a lot of trouble!"
"It's not impossible, you see, my things are in the basin today, besides, these two yuan a spoonful are much more affordable than the previous two yuan a pack!"
As soon as Lin Mu said this, the people around the car instantly rushed home, to be fast, the wolf has more meat and less meat, there are more than 3,000 people in the village, Lin Mu has so much stuff every day, far from enough for everyone in the village to buy, of course, it is first come, first served.
"Yo! Today there are steamed buns and shredded potatoes! ”
"What's the smell?"
"The buns are meat buns, and the shredded potatoes are vinegared!"
"I like to eat spicy food, Xiaomu, can you change it to spicy tomorrow?"
"I can't be the master!"
In the end, of course, those who bought it were elated, and those who didn't can only swear secretly that they will definitely buy it next time!
"Mom, Dad? Where have you been? ”
Li Xiaoxue, the daughter of the old Li Tou in the village, was born well, it was also a flower in the village back then, and finally married to the county seat, the man is a civil servant, and it can be regarded as a good marriage in the village, although the life in the county is average before the high temperature, but after the high temperature, because he can eat public grain, compared to most people who have no land in the county, it can be regarded as good, at least he is not hungry, and he does not have to go back to the village to fight the autumn breeze at his mother's house.
However, most of the food distributed by the government is still sweet potatoes, after all, the yield of this thing is high, and they are still hungry, so every once in a while, Li Xiaoxue will take her son to take advantage of the county troops to inspect the village to go back to her parents' house to eat white noodles and improve her life.
Lao Li Tou is such a daughter, naturally everything is good to follow his daughter and grandson first, in the past, he would not go out in the first two hours of the dark every day, just waiting for his daughter and grandson to come, and prepare food for them.
But this time, when Li Xiaoxue came back, she found that her parents were not at home, and she did not have the key to the house, so she could only stand outside the gate with her son and wait for her parents.
"Girl, what do you think this is?" Old Li Tou mysteriously handed over the bowl in his hand.
The big and round moon hung in the sky, Li Xiaoxue took advantage of the moonlight to look at the big bowl handed over by Lao Li, and looked at the ones faintly, and after a while, a burst of fragrance entered her nose.
"Vinegared shredded potatoes!" Li Xiaoxue's surprised voice was a little incredulous.
After all, after half a year, all the potatoes that were not harvested in the field spontaneously combusted, and the potatoes that were picked up had already been eaten.
In addition, the high temperature has caused all the wires on the ground to spontaneously combust except for the wires buried in the ground, global power outages, factories cannot work normally, and more importantly, crops cannot be grown on the land exposed to the sun, almost all factories have run out of raw materials, and all daily necessities are difficult to produce, including condiments.
Therefore, Li Xiaoxue has not eaten or even seen vinegared shredded potatoes for almost half a year, and she really can't believe that her parents can actually get vinegared shredded potatoes that she has never seen before.
"Yes, there are two meat buns today! In a while, you and my good grandson will be one by one! ”
Lao Li Tou and his family both laughed, and when Lao Li Tou was speaking, his wife opened the door on the side.
After entering the house, Lao Li and his family put the small table outside the house, and then put the steamed buns, rice, buns, shredded potatoes, small pickles, and mineral water they had just bought, urging their daughter and grandson to eat quickly.
Li Xiaoxue sat down and couldn't wait to eat it, even if it was a small pickle, it was delicious.
Lao Li and his wife smiled and watched the two juniors eat, "If you want to eat, go home every day, every day!" ”
"By the way, Mom and Dad, where did this thing come from? It's a rarity nowadays! ”
"Do you remember the son of your uncle who lives in the back?"
"The one who was admitted to the University of H Province?"
"Yes, people have come back from H province, or how to say that this capable person is a capable person at any time, it is said that when people come back, they have a line with the big organization, and they can bring this thing back, thinking about the villagers, they are sold in our village, every day, but there is a little less ......"
Li Xiaoxue thought to herself, what kind of big organization is this, so capable, what the government can't get, can they get it? However, the world is so big that there are no surprises, and it is not a crime to leave and right, just eat some things, what does she care so much for.
After eating such a meal at her mother's house, Li Xiaoxue felt that this day was really beautiful, and she really wanted to live in her mother's house and not go back, but her husband and in-laws were still suffering at home, and her husband and in-laws were also very good to her on weekdays, and she couldn't abandon them to live a good life by herself.
What's more, after listening to what her parents said, there are more than 3,000 people in the whole village, and these things are estimated to be less than 200 copies, and they can't be grabbed every day, and the amount is limited.
Li Xiaoxue chatted with her parents at home, and she was reluctant to leave until the army's patrol car was about to go back.
"Girl, wait, you take this thing, hide it, go back and eat it!"
Lao Li Tou chased him out, took out something from his pocket and stuffed it into Li Xiaoxue's clothes pocket, and then waved his hand and watched Li Xiaoxue get into the car and walk away.
Along the way, there were people around me, I remember what Lao Li Tou said was hidden, Li Xiaoxue never dared to take things out, and her hands were always protecting her clothes pockets.
In this way, it was not until she got home that Li Xiaoxue took out the things in her pocket, which were three packets of small pickles.
Li Xiaoxue took the small pickles, excited and melancholy, excited that she could eat the small pickles in the past two days, and the melancholy was that these little pickles were probably not eaten by her parents, so they were specially left for her.
Zhou Li is an ordinary clerk of the county government, his wife is from the village below the county, faintly, some colleagues around him look down on him a little, although Zhou Li didn't say anything, but he also thought that if his wife was born in the city, it would be perfect.
After work today, Zhou Li returned home as usual, and when he sat at the dinner table, Zhou Li found that there were pickles today!
"This ...... Where did it come from? ”
"Dad gave it to me."
"Mom and Dad are at home every day, where can I get this thing?" Zhou Li's family lives in a high-rise, this power outage, there is no elevator, and the two old people easily do not go downstairs.
"My dad gave it!"
Zhou Li instantly felt that it was great to have an old man in the countryside!
"Someone in our village sells this, but there are few things, and the amount is limited, I will go home another day to live for a few days, and buy some for our family!"
"Okay!"
"Tomorrow you go to work, bring some pickles, and change the taste at noon!"
"Okay, I'll listen to you!"
