Chapter 258 Parents are short
Tang Xiaofu patted Fang Wenjing's hand: "It's okay, we have money now, I always remember my mother said that it was very difficult for my mother to give birth to me, but fortunately I gave birth in the hospital, and I shed a lot of blood like that, and neither the Tang family nor my mother's own family sent my mother an egg to eat and replenish her body."
But only the eldest grandfather and grandmother heard that the mother was in a terrible loss, and asked someone to buy a pound of longan meat and some eggs, and two old hens for the mother to eat to replenish the body, but the mother has not eaten, those things are called Wu Chunyan to take away and eat, the great grandfather and grandmother are so kind to us, we were incapable before, but now we have the ability, of course we have to buy good things to honor them. ”
Fang Wenjing was so moved that she didn't know what to say, and touched Tang Xiaofu's head.
Xiaolan saw that the atmosphere was a little sad, so she deliberately interrupted: "Sister, this white rabbit toffee is really delicious!" ”
"Of course Luo, this is a brand, and kraft candy is also delicious." Tang Xiaofu took out a few catties of kraft candy, "This is also one catty for our family, and the other two catties are for the two uncles." ”
Then he took out four catties of crisp candy: "This is crisp candy, the old man eats it well, just give two catties to my grandfather's family and two catties to our family." ”
Fang Wenjing smiled and said, "Okay." ”
Tang Xiaofu took out all the skin care products and hair care products that Leng Chenxu bought for her.
Fang Wenjing exclaimed: "Why are you buying so many incense incense!" ”
Hubei people are accustomed to collectively referring to skin care products as "Xiangxiang".
"This is all what Captain Leng has to give."
There are five bottles of alabaster, everything was affordable in that era, each bottle of alabaster has a lot of weight, it is estimated that one bottle can survive a winter, Tang Xiaofu when distributing alabaster, according to inertia, wanted to give Xiaolan and Fang Wenjing two bottles each, but Leng Chenxu's words sounded in his ears, and he also had to cherish himself, so he gave Fang Wenjing and Xiaolan one bottle each, and the other three bottles were kept for himself.
Xiaolan opened the alabaster and smelled it: "Ah~ It's so fragrant!" ’
Fang Wenjing also opened it and sniffed it, and said with a smile: "Things in Shanghai are good!" ”
With three bottles of alabaster, Tang Xiaofu only left three boxes of Pechoin hand rubbing for other skin care products, and then gave two boxes to Xiaolan, and the other five boxes were given to Fang Wenjing, who had the most cracked hands in this house.
There is no distinction between bee flower brand hair care products and bath soap, and everyone uses them together.
Xiaolan and Fang Wenjing took the soap and hair care products and smelled them again, and they all said that they were fragrant.
Tang Xiaofu took out the watch at this time, Xiaolan pounced on it and grabbed it, looked left and right happily, and then put it on for Fang Wenjing, and praised: "It's so good-looking!" ”
Fang Wenjing took off her watch: "Why spend money to buy such an expensive thing for me?" I don't need it, you can take it, you can control the time. As he spoke, he was going to put it on Tang Xiaofu.
Tang Xiaofu retracted her hand: "Mom~ Which family do you see the child wears a watch?" You can wear this watch, we can't afford to wear it now. ”
Xiaolan also persuaded on the side, Fang Wenjing actually liked it too, but it was too expensive, so she finally accepted it, but she was reluctant to wear it, saying that she just kept it to wear it when visiting relatives and friends.
The two Tang Xiaofu sisters looked at each other and smiled.
Tang Xiaofu showed them the wool she bought again, and told them that the wool was going to knit sweaters and pants for her mother and daughter.
Fang Wenjing took out a few bundles of wool and looked at them, and asked, "You know how to weave." ”
"Yes, knitting is very simple, just look at it, and I'll teach you after dinner."
Fang Wenjing smiled and said, "Oh, I forgot to make dinner as soon as I spoke, so I'll go make dinner." ”
"Don't worry, Mom still hasn't seen anything." Tang Xiaofu pulled out a dozen flower socks from the bottom of the yarn.
These flower socks were bought by Tang Xiaofu when she bought 100 pairs of socks for the last time on Hanzheng Street, some for men and some for women, all of them were pure fiber, and there were few cotton socks at that time.
Fang Wenjing saw that she had bought so many socks and came back, and asked, "How much is a pair of these socks, why did you buy so many pairs of socks back?" ”
Tang Xiaofu said: "It's only two cents and five cents a pair, and a hundred pairs is twenty-five yuan, and our mother and son will choose ten pairs for each of our mothers, and then give two pairs to my grandfather and uncle, and then leave a few pairs to give away, and I will sell the rest in the market tomorrow." ”
The mother and daughter all started to choose their favorite socks.
As a result, even their grandfather and their pick, plus the ones who kept them for gifting, in the end there were only about thirty pairs left.
Tang Xiaofu said: "Then don't buy it, the remaining thirty pairs of socks will be given to the villagers who helped save Xiaolan that time." ”
Fang Wenjing nodded and said yes, although the retail price of a pair of socks is only five cents, but many rural families are reluctant to pay these five cents, and the phenomenon of rural children wearing out socks is very common.
After reading the things Tang Xiaofu brought back, Fang Wenjing put away all the things that should be collected, and then made dinner.
Originally, Tang Xiaofu was not at home, she and Xiaolan were going to eat something casually, but now that Xiaofu is back, she has to cook something delicious, so she gave Xiaolan a few cents and a big bowl, and asked her to go to the rich uncle's house at the end of the village to buy some tofu and come back, cook a tofu and add a dish.
Xiaolan took the money and went out.
Tang Xiaofu asked in surprise: "Why does Uncle Fugui's family have tofu to sell?" ”
"His family has a tofu factory, and the business is very good." Fang Wenjing scooped a bowl of rice and prepared to wash it, "Not only did you go out to make money, even the Jianbin brothers also followed the people in the village to buy chickens and eggs and transport them to the city to sell them to make a lot of money, and now many people know that the money of the people in the city is easy to make, and I heard that the dog bowl in the next village specializes in buying sick chickens and pigs and transporting them to the city to sell after they are killed, and they also make thousands of yuan!" ”
Tang Xiaofu said disdainfully: "That's black-hearted money, I don't make it." ”
"Not really! Many people say so, but they are really reluctant to throw away the sick and dead chickens and pigs in their own homes, and they dare not eat them, so they are not sold to dogs and bowls. ”
Rural people actually pay great attention to environmental protection, and the dead livestock will not eat, and will be buried, just for fear of bacterial infection, but now some people buy dead livestock at a low price, and people forget human nature in front of interests, or too poor.
Xiaolan bought a big bowl of tofu and came back not long after she went out, Tang Xiaofu likes to eat soup and water, so she asked Fang Wenjing to make tofu soup and soak rice and eat it.
Xiaolan told Fang Wenjing: "Mom, when I went to Uncle Fugui's house to buy tofu just now, I saw someone take their own soybeans and exchange them directly for tofu at Uncle Fugui's place, so let's use soybeans to exchange for tofu directly." ”
Fang Wenjing poured the washed rice into the pot at this time, added water and began to cook rice: "Your rich uncle will definitely make money when he opens the door to do business, and he will definitely make money by exchanging soybeans directly for tofu, and your rich uncle will change it, we still buy a small stone mill to grind at home, not to mention saving and not wasting at all, that is, the bean dregs can be made into bean dregs balls, which are just as delicious." ”
Xiaolan said, "I'll grind then!" ”
For dinner, Fang Wenjing made a big pot of tofu and egg soup according to Tang Xiaofu, and the mother and daughter ate it.
