After three o'clock in the afternoon, another old customer came to the door, smelled the fragrance of the store, saw the braised chicken that was still smoking, and excitedly shouted: "Bring me half a chicken, you didn't say it earlier, or my neighbor came to buy it in the morning, I only knew that you still have braised chicken." ”

"Great! Wait a minute, uncle! Xiao Hong hurriedly cut half a chicken for him, and after he chose it, he wrapped half a chicken in lotus leaves, put it in the basket, and picked up the scale for him: "Three catties and six taels, except for the basket weighing two catties, the chicken is one catty and six taels, two yuan and one catty, a total of three yuan and two." ”

"Tsk, that's too expensive." The uncle was too expensive, but he still took out the money very honestly and handed her the lunch box: "I'm a regular customer of your family, what about your parents?" When I buy it from them, they give me some soup. ”

His lord was greedy for cheap, and bought other people's urgent lo-mei, the price was cheaper than this, and the taste of depressed things was worse than his family, and finally recognized their family.

"Uncle, I'll give you a spoonful of soup." Xiao Hong gave him a spoonful full of soup: "My parents went to pick lotus leaves." ”

There are not many plastic bags now, and the price is also expensive.

Most of them use straw, oiled paper, net bags, and cloth bags to pack various items, which can be recycled.

And the lotus leaf is even more useful.

Now you can wrap braised chicken and braised meat, and when it is dried, you can also wrap these, and you can also add a little fragrance of lotus leaves.

There are many ponds on the edge of Houzhai Town where lotus leaves are planted, so they look for ponds that are ready to dig lotus roots, and they can pick a lot of lotus leaves with some money.

After that, some customers came to buy lo-mei one after another, and some came to eat dumplings and wontons, but the customers were not as many as in the morning.

Seeing that it was already half past six in the evening, there was still half a braised pig's head left, and a plate of dumpling filling, so Zhao Laosi was sent to the refrigerator of Liu Qiang's house, which sold pork.

Yanyan looked at her mother and two sisters expectantly: "When will our family buy a refrigerator?" ”

The latter sentence is difficult to hide the nature of foodies: "If you have a refrigerator, you can freeze popsicles by yourself, and soda and watermelon are also more delicious than ice." ”

"You little gluttonous cat, you know how to eat!" Wu Julan scolded with a smile: "The refrigerator is very expensive, we will not be able to buy it in a few years." ”

"We make money, and we can buy it next year." Xiao Hong also felt that it was too inconvenient to have no refrigerator: "We sell lo-mei, and refrigerators are indispensable, so we can't borrow them often." ”

Xiao Fang also echoed: "And with the refrigerator, you can get more lo-mei, so you don't have to worry about going bad overnight." ”

Wu Julan heard the same, but when she thought that the refrigerator would cost thousands of yuan, she felt distressed as if she was cutting meat, so she simply played sloppy: "It's almost autumn now, let's wait for next summer, right?" ”

Yanyan was not disappointed, and when she heard the voice on the TV set of the Huang family next door, her soul seemed to be hooked away: "Mom, I'll go to Aunt Huang's house to watch TV?" ”

"Okay, let's go!" There are more people in the town who have televisions, especially since they all have shops, and at least half of them have televisions.

Before Wu Julan's words fell, Yanyan flew out like a real swallow.

She smiled helplessly, looked at the two daughters who were still helping her clean up the kitchen, and said softly: "You also go to watch TV, you will be neighbors in the future, don't be embarrassed." ”

Now the neighbors are coming to the door with bowls, and that's really normal.

Xiao Fang smiled lightly: "I don't like to watch TV, I'll read a book later." ”

Xiao Hong also refused: "I want to take a bath and wash my hair." ”

She didn't want to do the food business before, because of the braised pork and the fire, it was easy to get the taste on her body.

Anyway, when she was in the kitchen today, she felt like a suckling pig.

If she didn't take a bath, she would never have been able to sleep.

"You love cleanliness." Although Wu Julan said this, she also hurried to see if there was hot water in the kettle on the stove.

"That's right, Mom." Xiao Hong finally found an opportunity, approached her and asked in a low voice, "Do you have any toilet paper?" Get me a pack. ”

Now in big cities, there are two corners of the comfort sanitary napkins, but in the countryside, you can't see this thing.

Xiao Hong had asked the supply and marketing cooperatives in private before, and they also said that there was no goods.

Nowadays, everyone usually uses the kind of square straw paper that is very rough, and in the special period of women, they use rolls of toilet paper and sanitary belts with particularly good water absorption.

She was now desperate to go to the city and buy some supplies that would make her feel better.

"Yes, you go get it yourself, it's in the drawer." After Wu Julan finished speaking, she whispered to her: "If that one comes, can't you wash your hair and take a shower with cold water?" ”

"Got it." Xiao Hong asked as if unintentionally, "Mom, when did you come last time?" ”

But Wu Julan obviously didn't understand her daughter's words: "After I gave birth to Yanyan and put it on the ring, it was not normal, sometimes it took two months to come." ”

Not only was she not worried, but she was also looking forward to coming later, and it was better not to come, so as not to be inconvenient for those days.

Xiao Hong saw her happy face, and she was about to die of depression.

What could she do?

Seeing that she hasn't puffed up yet, you can't say that you're pregnant.

Or, when she has a big belly, will she still think she is fat?

Thinking of this, Xiao Hong bit her lower lip, held back a smile, turned around and went upstairs to pack her clothes and prepare for a bath.

To say that after buying this new house, what satisfies Xiao Hong the most is that there are squatting pits and showers on the upper and lower floors.

When she took a shower and rubbed her hair with a dry towel and returned to the room, she saw Xiao Fang's door open and she was still working hard at her desk.

She walked in and said lazily: "It's been a busy day today, you should also hurry up and take a shower and go to bed early." ”

Xiao Fang didn't raise his head: "Okay, wait for me to make another volume." ”

Xiao Hong really admires her: "I think you really love to study, don't you feel tired?" ”

"Don't be tired, the knowledge you learn belongs to you." Xiao Fang turned to look at her at this time, and said very seriously: "Studying is much easier than going to work in the fields, we can have such good learning conditions now, we don't want to live up to it, and we can broaden our horizons when we go to college, how good." ”

Xiao Hong could only nod.

Okay, it's also thanks to my own sister, so I will pour myself chicken soup for the soul from time to time, and I want to work hard myself.

She said, "Shall we take the time to go to the city and buy a tape recorder?" I can also improve my English by buying some English tapes. ”

In Zhacun Village, it is useless to buy this thing, because there is no electricity at home.

The kind of tape recorder with batteries she was too bulky.

Xiao Fang was a little moved, and a little worried: "Then it costs a lot of money, right?" Or let's borrow Xinning's tape recorder and use it. ”

"No, it's better to have it yourself." The last thing Xiao Hong wants is to get too close to the Xu family.

Thinking about it, if Xu Xinning was her own son, she would not be happy to see him secretly borrowing money and borrowing valuable things in order to fall in love, delaying his own study.
