Wang Xiujuan glanced at Xu's mother, and at the same time scraped her face with her fingers, and teased:

"It's still 'difficult' for your family, so won't we ordinary people be able to survive?"

pointed to Xu Dong and his wife who were planting vegetables:

"Look at this vegetable garden, such a large area, how can you be so extravagant as your family, and still cry poor with me?"

Mother Xu smiled awkwardly, and then choked back: "Your family is not an ordinary family, is it, Hu Kai is still the director, I heard that he will be promoted to the district soon?" ”

"I haven't officially written the documents yet!"

Having said that, Wang Xiujuan's face was full of irrepressible joy and pride.

Mother Xu looked at the other party's face and soured, casually said "congratulations", and then turned the topic to how to grow vegetables.

"I didn't expect your family Xu Dong to know quite a lot, now this kind of ghost weather, it's too cold at night, and this yard is easy to leak, so you can only grow some cold-resistant vegetables."

Wang Xiujuan was born in the countryside, and followed her parents to farm when she was young, and later was admitted to a junior college, majoring in agriculture and forestry.

"It's hard to grow anything else!" Mother Xu was speechless.

"In fact, it's not impossible, you can build a better closed flower house on the vegetable garden, it's really not possible, and you can make do with building a vegetable greenhouse." Wang Xiujuan suggested.

"Forget it, I finally stopped for a while, I don't want to toss." When Xu Ma heard that it was so troublesome, she refused without thinking about it.

Wang Xiujuan felt a pity: "It's up to you, I originally wanted to borrow your vegetable garden to grow some strawberries, but it seems that it can't be done." ”

"What kind of strawberries to grow, isn't it good to go directly to the market and buy them? It's big! ”

Wang Xiujuan gave a rare explanation: "I grow it myself, I can eat it at ease, and there are not so many messy hormones." ”

"What do you mean, fruits also take hormones?"

Mother Xu was stunned, she had only heard that pork and beef had hormones before, but she didn't expect that fruits were also available.

"What do you think, these hormone-boosted fruits, we adults are fine when they eat them, but children are different, they are developing, so it's better to eat less." Wang Xiujuan explained in detail.

Mother Xu immediately paid attention to it, her triplets were already weak, if she ate fruits containing hormones, would she be able to pay it back?

After sending Wang Xiujuan's grandchildren away, Xu's mother quickly called Xu Dong to her.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

Xu Dong patted the dust on his body and wiped the sweat on his forehead, it was almost evening, and the temperature had not dropped at all.

Mother Xu hurriedly handed over a towel, and then said Wang Xiujuan's suggestion, and expressed her approval.

"It's okay to build a flower house, but now that there is a shortage of materials on the market, let's talk about it later!" Xu Dong thought for a while and said.

As for the vegetable greenhouse, it is not considered for the time being, first, it is too ugly and does not match the style of the courtyard; Second, there are many children in the family, which is the age when dogs are tired of cats, and the plastic film is not durable.

"You can do it!"

……

After planting the radish, Yang Lina washed up briefly, and then went out to buy vegetables with Xu's mother.

Now every other day, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have to go out to shop.

Since the end of the rush to buy, with the improvement of transportation conditions, the supply of vegetables in the capital area has increased significantly, which has greatly alleviated the "vegetable panic".

However, meat is still lacking, and it is hard to find.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law first came to the nearest vegetable market, where there are many vendors and sell a lot of things, and it is easier to buy rare goods than in a large supermarket.

Walking all the way, Yang Lina couldn't help complaining: "The price of vegetables has risen again, I remember the last time I came over, the cucumber was still three pieces of three and one pound, and now it is almost four." ”

"The potatoes have risen to four pieces and two, and I don't dare to peel the potatoes in the future." Mother Xu put down the potatoes in her hand and complained.

The vendor selling potatoes couldn't help but interject: "It's not that we want to raise the price, it's the wholesaler who has raised the price, and we can only follow it." ”

"Well, I don't know when it's a head?" Mother Xu sighed.

"Then you have to wait, the first half of the year must be out of play, now it depends on how the second half of the year goes?" The vendor replied.

Yang Lina took the opportunity to ask:

"What if it doesn't rain in the second half of the year?"

The vendor spread his hands, "Don't talk about vegetables when the time comes, it will be a problem to even eat." ”

Perhaps stimulated by the vendor's words, Xu's mother bought twenty catties of potatoes in one go, not afraid that she would not be able to eat them all, anyway, the potatoes are durable.

Carrying potatoes, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law bought some other vegetables, but they still didn't see a single pork hair.

The two who did not give up turned around in the vegetable market several times, and finally bumped into great luck.

"Boss, how much is the bone?" Mother Xu immediately asked.

"Eighty... One catty, just shipped from outside, the quantity is limited, buy what you want quickly, and you can't buy it when you want to. The vendor replied lazily.

When Xu Ma heard this, she was angry: "What? You don't have any meat on this bone, and you dare to sell it for such an expensive price? ”

"The market price is this price, these tube bones are only brought back by a big relationship, if you don't buy it, don't get in the way of others."

Mother Xu hesitated slightly, and the tube bone was directly wrapped up by a local tyrant aunt.

"I'm!" Leaving the vegetable market, Xu's mother was still indignant.

Yang Lina smiled bitterly and persuaded: "Mom, don't be angry, don't buy that tube bone, and there is no shortage of this bit of oil and meat at home, let's not be this wronged." ”

"I'm not angry with these bones, I'm angry with your father, if it weren't for him, our yard would still be full of yard meat!" Mother Xu said with a lonely face.

Yang Lina regretted it tightly, but she couldn't say that, "Didn't Dongzi say it, there is still a batch of bacon and ham in the basement, and there is no shortage of meat at home after all." ”

"It's still Dongzi who thinks far, your father can't do it, he doesn't have that ability, our family will have to listen to Dongzi in the future." Xu Ma concluded.

Yang Lina naturally agreed, anyway, this matter is beneficial to the couple and harmless.

Next, the two went to the nearby supermarket again, and the rush to buy has been almost half a month, and many of the shelves inside are still empty.

This time, I was lucky, I grabbed a treasure fish in my early three catties, and bought a box of old popsicles.

After all, "summer" has arrived, and the Coco sisters have long been clamoring for ice cream, but unfortunately there is only one brand of old popsicles in the supermarket.

In the end, the treasure fish cost 188 yuan, and the old popsicle didn't rise much, 50 yuan per box.

Back at home, Xu Dong is fertilizing the vines, which originally bloomed in April and May are now full of pea fruits, and it is estimated that they will ripen next month.

In addition, the flowers and bonsai in the yard have died a lot, and they should not be able to adapt to the current climate, and those that survived were all planted by Xu Dong on the edge of the vegetable garden.

In this way, when the flower room is built, it will be worthy of its name.
