Wanniang's maiden home is far away, although it is a set with Wangjia Village, and they are all commune sets, but if the commune is the center, Wangjia Village is in the easternmost part of the village where the market is rushed, and Xujia Village is in the westernmost place. So to get to Xujia Village, you have to pass by the commune's bazaar.

Wan Niang took Wang Yu to the school in the morning to run errands, and when she returned home at noon, so many things happened without eating, and after cutting Yan Rong and finishing the house, it was two or three o'clock in the afternoon. To the commune, even if you follow the adult's footsteps, it will take more than an hour, not to mention that Wan Niang also took two children, carrying salutes on her back and carrying pots and pans. Although on the other side of the pots and pans, Wang Wenyao held hands, but when they arrived at the commune's market, it was already four or five o'clock.

Wan Niang and the two children were so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs, but neither of the children was noisy to eat. Wan Niang knew that if the three of them didn't eat again, they were afraid that their stomachs would be hungry. So I took my two children to find a restaurant, but the market in the commune was different from the town. In the morning, there is a steamed bun shop in the commune, selling steamed buns, porridge, soybean milk fritters, sugar and oil fruits, which is a breakfast business, and at noon, there is a noodle shop, somen noodles, dried noodles, beef noodles, and lunch business. However, there is no restaurant for dinner in the commune in the afternoon, because most of the people who rush to the commune's market are farmers from the surrounding villages, and most of them will go home early when they buy what they want when they rush to the market, and everyone has farm work at home. Except for 135, the people who usually eat breakfast and lunch are all people living in communes and teachers and students of schools.

Unable to find a hotel, Wan Niang had to take her children to the school gate. There are many old ladies selling snacks and setting up stalls at the school gate, and on the day Wanniang came to deliver the meal, she also bought a small bag of cold salad kelp shreds at these stalls. There are very few types of snacks on the stall, not as good as in the previous life, but there are still some things, such as shredded radish, shredded figs, big bubble gum, stone sugar spicy strips or something, when I was a child, Wanniang didn't eat less of these things, and when I grew up, I couldn't buy the taste in my memory.

The old lady who set up the stall saw Wanniang looking at the stall and hurriedly asked, "Little girl, what do you want?" ”

Wan Niang rubbed her stomach, a little embarrassed, none of the things in the stall could fill her stomach, "Grandma, is there anything that can fill your stomach, let's pay for it." ”

Although it was getting dark, the old lady also knew Wan Niang. Because Wang Yu jumped into the river and committed suicide that day, there were too many onlookers, and she couldn't help but join in the fun to take a look, this brave girl, she admired it very much, much braver than her. I just watched Wan Niang holding things in big bags and small bags, and I didn't know what was going on at home, eh...... Poor to see. I heard that her man was dead. Thinking like this, she hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, my sister is a cook in the school cafeteria, and there is something left in the school every day." You come with me. The old lady beckoned the people next to her to help watch the stall, and then pulled Wanniang and the two children to the school.

At this time, the school day has passed, most of the students have left the school, and only the cleaning students are playing and laughing in the school playground, Wang Yu hung his head and did not dare to let people see him, but in fact, no one paid attention to them at all.

The school still has steamed rice, but because of the behavior of children stealing rice for money. The school has just implemented that it is to pay 20 catties of rice every month, and then steam the rice in the canteen, and the dishes can be brought by yourself or bought in the canteen. The old lady's sister did the work in the canteen, and although she was tired every day, she made more money than the old lady sold snacks outside.

Three people were pulled into the school cafeteria, and an old woman who looked very similar to an old lady was washing pots and pans. The old lady stepped forward and patted the old woman on the shoulder, "Sister, I'm here to bring you business, do you still have food?" ”

"Yes, take the dishes and chopsticks yourself. I had just finished eating, and it was still hot. The old woman who was washing the pots and pans raised her head, and when she saw Wanniang, they were slightly stunned, stood up, shook her hand, and signaled to Wanniang: "Come in!" ”

Wan Niang took Wang Wenyao and Wang Yu into the back kitchen of the canteen, there was a big stove inside, and the carbon in the stove had been slowly extinguished, but she could still feel the heat. There was a big steamer on top of the stove, and it was still smoking gently.

The old woman opened the steamer, brought out the two dishes inside, put them on the table on the side, and motioned for Wan Niang and the three of them to sit. Wan Niang put down the pots and pans in her hand and the pockets of clothes and other things, and sat down obediently with the two children.

"There are only these two dishes left, but there is still a lot of food. Three people charge you two dollars, right? After finishing the dishes, the old woman brought another meal and handed the three of them chopsticks.

"Okay, thank you, Grandma."

"No thanks, I'll go out and wash the pot first. When you're done eating, remember to wash your own dishes and chopsticks. The old woman said and went out.

The three of them were so hungry that they couldn't do it, so they picked up the chopsticks and devoured them, and the old lady who brought them came in the door, sat on the side of the table where the three people were missing, and watched the three of them eat wolf, and they were so distressed that they couldn't do it, "Eat slowly, eat slowly, there is rice." ”

Wan Niang slowed down and blushed a little, "I'm sorry." ”

"Eh, it's okay, you eat slowly, the food is not enough, I'll go get you some sauerkraut to eat." With that, the old lady stood up.

"Enough is enough, grandma, we are enough."

"It's okay, it's okay, I won't take your money." The old lady went to the back of the kitchen and moved a sauerkraut jar, took a small bowl and grabbed a handful of sour cowpeas, twisted them into knots, and then brought the sauerkraut to Wanniang's table, and said with a smile: "It's okay, you eat, I don't charge you money." ”

"What's so embarrassing?"

"Not worth a few bucks. If you don't come, this summer, my sister won't be able to ask for that dish tomorrow. You let her earn it! The old lady sat down in her seat, "Eat, eat, eat!" ”

Wan Niang listened to what the old lady said, and was no longer polite, although she ate a little more than just now, she also ate quickly. Wang Wenyao and Wang Yu are the same, there are outsiders in front of them, and the two of them are not as rough as just now, but their speed has not decreased at all. All three of them took the bowl and added two times of rice before they finally had their fill.

Because it is a cafeteria, not a restaurant, they all have to wash the dishes by themselves, Wan Niang took the plastic basin used by the students to wash the dishes on the ground, squatted beside the old woman with the bowl, and began to wash the dishes.

Wang Yu and Wang Wenyao also came out, surrounded by a small plastic basin, and helped Wanniang wash the dishes together.

"Xu Wan, why are you still coming to the commune so late?" The old lady also went out to help her sister wash pots and pans or something, and asked Wan Niang while washing.
