Tian Xiangqin opened her mouth and gritted her teeth to scold.

Tian Miaoxiu said first, "Xiangqin, don't get too close to me, you have stepped on my feet, and your shoes have been trampled on by you." ”

As she spoke, she lifted her foot and showed it to Tian Xiangqin.

From the toe to the instep, it's a big black footprint.

Tian Xiangqin was yelled at by her, and forgot what she wanted to scold.

Aunt Guifen followed into the kitchen and pulled Tian Miaoxiu away, "Oh, I stepped on my foot, what's the big deal?" Our villagers walk in the mud every day, don't step on it a few times a day? ”

The implication is that you people in the city really care.

Anyway, he stepped on Tian Xiangqin, so Tian Miaoxiu didn't say anything.

She pointed to the pumpkin soup in the pot and said, "Aunt Guifen, I just saw that the pig of our squad leader Dewang's father is also eating pumpkin, you eat the same as his pig?" ”

This Aunt Gui Fen just mocked her for wanting to eat the dishes that the pig had eaten, and she sent it back as she said.

The countryside is poor, and the pig's food is either pigweed, or vegetables that cannot be eaten in the field, plus some pumpkin and sweet potatoes to boil.

If possible, add some fine rice, sorghum and broken rice to cook together.

And these, people are also eating.

But when put together, it's just swearing.

Aunt Gui Fen was choked up, and she didn't know how to answer.

Does she dare to say the squad leader's pig?

She didn't dare.

"You kid, do you want to buy groceries?" Aunt Gui Fen pushed Tian Miaoxiu, "If you don't buy me, I'm going to cook, gossip with you idle child, my pot is almost dry." ”

"Buy, I'll buy whatever Aunt Guifen's family eats." Tian Miaoxiu smiled.

Aunt Gui Fen wanted to say that pigs also eat like this.

But on second thought, didn't she scold herself?

Her family eats these too.

Aunt Guifen rolled her eyes at Tian Miaoxiu and called out to her daughter, "Parsley, you take Miao Xiu to the backyard to pick some vegetables, and show me how much you picked in a while." ”

Tian Xiangqin reluctantly responded, "Got it, Mom." ”

Tian Miaoxiu followed Tian Xiangqin to the backyard.

Here are a few green vegetables.

After the reform, the peasant households in the township practiced working alone, working more and getting more.

After the public land was handed over to Tiri, there was not enough to eat, so the farmers began to cultivate some of their own land.

In front of the house and behind the house, whenever there is a large table and a piece of land, vegetables will also be planted.

Aunt Guifen's dishes include four seasons, Jiang beans, pumpkins, winter melons, loofahs, cucumbers, and some bamboo leaf vegetables.

Leafy vegetables are delicious, but they are expensive.

Winter melon and pumpkin are cheap, not to mention the low price, and eating them is more durable than eating vegetables.

And it's easy to store.

Tian Miaoxiu asked for a pumpkin and a winter melon, and in addition, he also bought some green beans and river beans, which are also easier to put than green vegetables.

It's the season for green beans and river beans, and they're cheaper than greens.

And the vegetables freshly picked in the field are half cheaper than those in the city market.

Winter melon for a dime a pound, pumpkin for nine cents a pound, Jiang beans for three cents and a pound, green beans for four cents and a pound, and tomatoes for six cents and a pound.

Tian Miaoxiu spent six yuan to buy a big basket, and the winter melon and pumpkin couldn't fit it, so she held one in her left and right hands.

But in that case, the basket can't be mentioned.

Tian Miaoxiu's eyes turned slightly, and she looked at Tian Xiangqin, "Xiangqin, help me take the basket and send me home, I can't take it." ”

Tian Xiangqin rolled her eyes, "Why?" Why should I help you get it? ”

"Would you like to eat malt cream? Bring the cup to my house and I'll scoop it up for you. I just came back from the county seat and bought a big jar. Tian Miaoxiu smiled slightly tempted.

Malt cream, for the city children of this period, like the modern people who eat steak, is not something that is eaten every day, but it is very common.

But for the village children of this era, this is a luxury.

It is equivalent to eating Australian lobster for ordinary income earners.

I can only eat it once in a while, and the kind that can hurt for a long time when I eat it out of my own pocket is the existence that I yearn for but dare not ask for.

Tian Xiangqin only ate it once when she was sick the year before last.

And the one I bought was still packaged in a small bag, one small bag at a time, and I could make a cup with boiling water.

I was sick for three days and drank it for three days, and after I got better, I never drank it again.

Now when she hears the word malt cream, she can reflexively drool and sniff, as if she has inhaled the aroma of malt cream.

Tian Xiangqin swallowed, "I want a big spoonful!" ”

"Scoop a spoonful with a white porcelain spoon, okay?" Tian Miaoxiu hooked the corner of her lower lip.

This spoon is made for soup and is larger than a regular stainless steel spoon.

"Deal!" Tian Xiangqin turned around and ran into the house, grabbed a large enamel water cup in her hand, and lifted Tian Miaoxiu's basket again, "Let's go, let's go quickly, I have to come back for dinner." ”

She ran to Tian Miaoxiu's house first.

Tian Miaoxiu held the winter melon in her left hand and the pumpkin in her right hand, and followed, "It's coming!" ”

The two little girls ran to the door of Tian Miaoxiu's old house.

Tian Changfa, who was sitting in the room chatting, immediately walked out, "Miao Xiu, where did this dish come from?" ”

"I bought it at my house, long-haired uncle, take it quickly, it's so heavy." Tian Xiangqin handed over the basket.

Tian Guoliang and Tian Guodong walked outside and took the winter melon pumpkin in Tian Miaoxiu's hand.

"Big brother, second brother, take it to the kitchen, my mother cooks and says there is no food, I bought some, these are enough for our family to eat for several days." Tian Miaoxiu said with a smile.

Tian Guodong has been at home for the past few days and knows that there is no food to eat at home.

went to a nearby farmer's house to buy it, but was ridiculed by them, and he was embarrassed to buy it again.

Unexpectedly, his twelve-year-old little sister bought so many at once.

Tian Guodong was embarrassed for a while.

wanted to say something, but Tian Miaoxiu had already pulled the neighbor's little girl and ran into the house.

The things I bought were all piled up in Liu Lamei and Tian Changfa's bedroom.

Tian Miaoxiu pulled Tian Xiangqin into the room.

Tian Xiangqin's eyes widened when she saw the food piled up on the top of the cabinet.

Everyone said that Tian Miaoxiu's family was so poor that they were almost hungry, but this is not like it.

Look, there are more than 800 grams of malt milk essence in a jar!

And a lot of canned food and brown sugar!

Ah, and the wafer biscuits she's always wanted to eat but couldn't!

Oh my God, Tian Miaoxiu's family still has White Rabbit toffee.

Tian Xiangqin drooled when she saw it.

Tian Miaoxiu saw her envious look in her eyes, took a white rabbit toffee and stuffed it into her hand, "Take it, I'll scoop wheat milk essence for you." ”

Tian Miaoxiu opened the lid of the jar, took a spoon and scooped a full spoonful, and poured it into Tian Xiangqin's cup, "It's enough, it's piled high." ”

Tian Xiangqin hugged the cup and took a breath, didn't even say thank you, turned around and ran home.

She ran to the house in one go, "Mom, where's the boiling water?" I'm going to drink malt cream! ”

Aunt Guifen was filling the bowl with pumpkin soup, and she glanced at her voice when she heard it, "What are you dreaming, how can the family have the money to buy malt cream?" ”

"Miao Xiu gave me a spoonful, so I don't have to buy it." Tian Xiangqin said loudly.

She couldn't wait, poured some cold boiled water into the cup, held the cup and drank it in a big gulp.
