Mrs. Zhao thought to herself, she was reluctant to let the child catch the wolf, endured the pain in her flesh, and told her again: "Ming'er will go to me to get the money, and then go buy some meat." ”

You must know that the last time she bought meat was two months ago.

Wu Julan was very flattered when she heard this: "Grandma, if you pay for it, I'll just buy it tomorrow." ”

Although she still can't understand why such a difficult mother-in-law is willing to make a face for her eldest daughter.

But the mother-in-law wants her daughter to stay, that is the best, even if she is usually thrifty, she is willing to spend money to buy meat at this time.

"That's okay," it happened that Mrs. Zhao was also distressed about money, so she took the opportunity to respond: "Then I'll kill the big rooster in the house." ”

Xiao Hong saw that her mother was about to excuse herself, so she hurriedly smiled and thanked her: "Thank you, Grandma Zhao, have you had dinner?" Why don't I cook you something to eat? ”

The main reason is that the weather is hot now, and I am afraid that the food will be rancid, so I try to eat it as much as possible.

"No, I've eaten at Jiang's house." Mrs. Zhao's eyebrows fluttered when she said this: "That god operator is really powerful, I was not surprised to hear that I came to the door, and I had already expected it, so she asked her daughter-in-law to cook more noodles, and specially left me for dinner before coming back." ”

Xiao Hong didn't expect that Mrs. Jiang was quite capable of fooling people, and when Mrs. Zhao talked about her, she couldn't stop being excited.

However, Zhao Youqiang put on long rain boots with a lot of eyes, and carried a few bamboo cages to the stream to put the cages.

After Grandma Zhao left satisfied, Xiao Hong said to Wu Julan: "Mom, it just so happens that Ming'er wants to go to the town too, why don't my sister and I go to buy meat?" Just familiarize yourself with this side, so as not to delay the work at home. ”

In the countryside all year round, there is a lot of work in the fields.

The barley in the field is ready to be harvested, the corn field has to carry water, and the bean field has to weed, and there is indeed a lot of work.

Wu Julan hesitated for a while, then nodded: "Okay, I'll wait and ask Ming'er if He's tractor is going to the town." ”

"No, let's just go by bike." Xiao Hong is really disappointed with the current means of transportation, and even more desperate about the road in and out.

What's more, she didn't want to deal with the three aunts and six mothers-in-law who sat on the tractor.

"It's convenient to ride out by yourself, you don't have to wait and wait, anyway, Xiao Fang and I also have company."

After Xiao Hong finished speaking, seeing Yanyan looking at her expectantly, she smiled at her: "Yanyan will also go with us, can my sister buy you a popsicle to eat?" ”

Yan Yan nodded excitedly: "Okay, I know the way, I'll accompany my eldest sister, and my sister is in the town school." ”

As long as there is a primary school in the front village on the mountain, it is only the first, second and third grades, and then you have to go to the back house town to have a primary school, a junior high school, and a high school.

Therefore, Xiao Fang rode her bicycle to the town to study.

She always went to town school on Sunday afternoons and came home on Saturday afternoons.

This night, in an unfamiliar environment, Xiao Hong slept quite soundly.

Although there is no electricity here, the temperature inside the mountain is several degrees lower than outside, and it is even more comfortable at night, so you have to cover it with towels and quilts.

By the time she woke up, it was already the next morning, and the sun was sneaking in through the window, signaling that it was a good day.

After Xiao Hong got up, he went downstairs to wash, and saw Xiao Fang cutting sweet potato vines with a guillotine to feed the pigs, and Yanyan sweeping the floor.

Yan Yan smiled shyly when she saw her: "Eldest sister, there is porridge on the table." ”

She's actually a bit of a recognizer, but she's really looking forward to going to the town to play.

Anyway, in her memory, there really weren't many trips to town.

But there was electricity, a TV, and a lot of new things in the town, which she always longed for.

Because of this, she did not reject this sister who suddenly appeared.

"Okay," Xiao Hong was a little embarrassed: "Why didn't you call me?" ”

I slept until six o'clock, which was indeed a bit late.

Now it's dawn before five o'clock in the morning, and everyone is going out to work when it's dawn and it's not hot.

Xiao Fang washed his hands after feeding the pigs: "Okay, next time I call you, you hurry up and eat porridge now." ”

Cooked mung bean porridge and half a salted duck egg.

She finished eating quickly, and went out with Xiao Fangyanyan with a cloth bag.

At home, Zhao Youqiang rode a 28-inch big phoenix bicycle with a bar, and later bought a second-hand 26-inch women's bicycle for Xiao Fang.

Xiao Fang looked at Xiao Hong riding a 28-inch bicycle very skillfully, and couldn't help shouting: "This road is not good, you ride slowly." ”

"Got it." Xiao Hong responded perfunctorily, and then told the little sister who was sitting behind him and grabbing her clothes: "Yanyan, you put your arms around my waist, don't worry, my driving skills are very good." ”

The mountain breeze brings the fragrance of the trees.

By the time we got to town, it was already past seven o'clock.

At this time, there are not many people in the vegetable market.

Xiao Fang first took them to the vegetable market to buy meat.

There were only two meat stalls in the vegetable market, but unfortunately one of them was not out of the stall, and they came a little late, and the only one that had some bones, pigs and a few pieces of lean meat left on the stall.

Nowadays, people like to eat meat with a little fat, with oil and water.

It would be nice if there was pork belly.

Therefore, Xiao Fang felt a little regretful when she saw the lean meat: "Auntie, is there no fat?" ”

The proprietress was very happy today, because she didn't have anything to do with the family, so their business was very good today, and she smiled when she heard the words: "Also, my family went to kill pigs, if you are sure that you want it, then come back in half an hour, you can buy the best and freshest meat." ”

When Xiao Hong saw those bones, he thought of sweet and sour pork ribs, as well as those pigs in the water, which can be burned with braised large intestines, green pepper pork liver, and spiced pork belly, all of which are delicious.

Anyway, when she saw this, she even thought about how to clean up and eat it.

But when I thought that the weather was hot now, I couldn't wait to clean up, so I endured my appetite and persuaded myself: Forget it, I'm not lazy, anyway, the braised pork and sweet and sour pork ribs are also delicious, and I will clean up the pig when the weather is cold.

Xiao Fang saw Xiao Hong's eyes fall on the pig's water, and hurried close to her and whispered: "It's not easy to clean up, it always tastes a little delicious." ”

He pinched the money in his trouser pocket again: "Let's go outside first, and then buy it later?" ”

My mother gave her ten yuan this morning, asked her to buy four catties of meat, and asked her to buy some sugar, matches and soap.

Xiao Hong answered, and after going out, she bought three milk popsicles in the small shop at the door, and the three sisters went to the supply and marketing cooperative.

After Xiao Fang bought candy, a match, and two pieces of soap, Xiao Hong beckoned them to go to the counter where they bought shoes: "You choose a pair of shoes, and each of our three sisters has a pair." ”

Yanyan looked at the white sneakers inside, and then at the plastic sandals on her feet, very excited and looking forward to it: "Is it really possible?" ”

Xiao Fang was silent, each person had to pay at least eight yuan for a pair of shoes, and she wanted to refuse.

But seeing that Yanyan was already excited to look at the white sneakers there, she thought that her sister wore old-fashioned cloth shoes most of the time, which was indeed old and bulky, so she also went to choose: "Then we are welcome." ”
