21. Brick factory delivers meals
After Pomegranate went back, she directly gave half of the pig's water to Grandma Zhao, after all, her two brothers will live here for the next month, no matter what, she has broken her promise, she said that she is the only one who lives here.
Grandma Zhao also knew that this was a special situation, and looked at the pig and the little green vegetables in her hand: "It's okay, let your brothers rest assured that they live here, there is a small bed in the utility room that can accommodate people." β
Pomegranate breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, she had to stay here for at least two years, and if it affected Grandma Zhao's senses for her because of this matter, it would not be good: "My two brothers are going to stay in the city for a month, I don't know how much the utility room costs a month?" β
"No money, the utility room is a shelter from the wind and rain, and there are a bunch of things in it, where am I embarrassed to ask for money."
Pomegranate didn't think so: "Brother Ming's account, Grandma Zhao, we can't take advantage of you." "A utility room costs 5 yuan a month, and in her opinion, what can be solved with money is not a problem.
"Then you can give me a dollar, and I'll go clean up the utility room." Grandma Zhao thought of the dirty utility room and hurriedly said, "It's getting cold soon, do you want to take the opportunity to stock up on more coal?" β
"Isn't it too early to hoard now, and I don't have coal tickets in my handβ" Pomegranate has some numb claws, and firewood is burned in the countryside, and she almost forgot that coal is burned in the city, and it seems that she has to take the time to find the fat man and exchange some coal tickets with the other party.
"Let's not talk about coal, you have to prepare a coal stove first." It's not a good thing to buy.
A trip to the black market seemed inevitable, and Pomegranate got up and started cooking, and by the time she was done, it was almost time for lunch. Pomegranate made two meat dishes with his hands and feet - husband and wife's lungs and liver, spicy fried chicken heart, full of two large lunch boxes, and then took out 4 large shepherd's cabbage buns from the space, as for the meat buns, I will eat them next time, otherwise it is easy to make my brothers think more about eating too well.
"Hey, the little girl is here to bring food to your brother."
"That's right. Uncle, you haven't gotten off work yet. β
"Uncle, I'm on the day shift today, okay, little girl, go quickly."
When the pomegranate heard this, she stopped lingering and hurried away.
After the others left, the uncle snorted vigorously: "Tsk, as soon as you smell it, you know that it is meat and vegetables, and the little girl is quite willing." β
"Big brother, second brother, I'm here with food." Pomegranate looked at the tired faces of the two, and felt distressed: "Big brother, you two won't rest all morning, right?" β
Brother Shi smiled: "I took a break for a while, if I didn't rest, I wouldn't be able to stand such high-intensity labor." β
Second Brother Shi also said: "Working in the field is actually similar, but now it's the same to do more and less, and everyone is just grinding foreign workers." "The harvest in the field is getting worse and worse.
Pomegranate really didn't know about this: "Then it's a pity that I didn't go to work?" β
Brother Shi: "It's a pity, usually when you are at home, your job is done in the first month." β
Pomegranate suddenly embarrassed, the loss of his own wife can manage her daughter-in-law, if this matter is changed to other families in the village, it will be upside down, thinking that next time I go home to bring some good things to my sisters-in-law, otherwise after a long time, in case the sisters-in-law rebel collectively, my own mother will be miserable. I especially remember that two years ago, the old Qin family in the east of the village, because of the moth made by his daughter, Pomegranate felt that he had to take it as a warning.
The rural people have so many melons and two dates in their hands, and they are desperately calculating one by one, and they really can't stand it, and she thinks that Qin Yiyi, the little daughter of the Qin family, deliberately didn't like those things at home, after all, her husband is an active officer. If you want her to say that the brother and sister-in-law of the Qin family are really stupid, she only has the interests in front of her, a well-connected officer brother-in-law, and their children will definitely have an advantage over others if they want to recruit in the future, and they are quite popular in the army these years.
The three brothers and sisters came to the canteen of the brick factory, Brother Shi laid out the meals one by one, opened the lunch box and saw that there were two meat dishes, he was stunned, and said quite distressedly: "Eldest sister, we are here to make money, we can't spend money indiscriminately, you just get some multigrain steamed buns." β
Second Brother Shi was both distressed and moved: "Yes, this is meat and big bone broth, how much is this." β
Pomegranate knows the psychology of the two brothers very well, but she doesn't agree with it, and she plans to take the opportunity to make up for the two brothers: "Big brother, you are doing manual work, what can you do if you don't eat better, in case you are hungry and thin, the sisters-in-law will have any opinions when you look back." β
Second Brother Shi's brain was more flexible in the end, and he asked with some confusion: "Eldest sister, where did you get the meat ticket?" β
Pomegranate smiled proudly: "I know an uncle from a meat factory, and the other party's family is alone, so I exchanged the vegetables for the meat in his name." It's just that I'm not from a meat factory after all, and I don't dare to ask for lard and pork belly for the first time I trade, so I'll buy these after I'm familiar with them. β
When Second Brother Shi heard that vegetables were used instead of meat tickets, he said in surprise: "There is such a good thing? "There are not many other in the countryside, but there are many green vegetables, so if this is the case, their family will not be unable to afford to eat meat.
Brother Shi asked with some concern, "How do you know the other party?" β
"When I went to the meat factory, he saw that Uncle Wang was a doorman, and he probably thought I was pitiful, so he transferred the meat in his name to me. Didn't we bring a lot of vegetables from home this time, just to change them with each other a few more times, not to mention anything else, the big bone broth can't be broken. β
Brother Shi thought that his eldest sister's appearance was indeed quite cute, and it was no wonder that the doorman couldn't look at it: "Eldest sister, don't make it all for us to eat, keep some for yourself to eat, it's quite brain-consuming to study." β
Anyway, he has a headache as soon as he reads, and he feels that the whole person is going to be abolished, and the four of their brothers insist on studying until junior high school, and the rest are all graduated from primary school.
Second Brother Shi also nodded: "My mother doesn't give you much money, you can buy more delicious food yourself." β
When Pomegranate heard the words of concern from the two elder brothers, her heart became more and more worried: "Don't worry, I will definitely not go hungry." After a while of getting acquainted with my uncle, I asked him to help buy some pork belly to make sausages. β
Brother Shi and the two of them were moved when they heard this, and the two of them took advantage of the eldest sister's light to eat pork, but the children in the family hadn't eaten it yet, and making it into sausages could also make the children eat a few bites. Thinking about it like this, the two wanted the pomegranate to save up the meat, but they thought that the pig's heart and pig's large intestine were not easy to preserve, so they simply gave up.
