Chapter 161: Grocery shopping.
After washing, Gong Xiaomei picked out clothes from the wardrobe and changed them, then put on the watch that Ruan Jiaojiao bought for everyone, sat down at the small desk by the window, turned on the lamp, and carefully confirmed the list she had prepared yesterday.
There are several cookbooks on the desk, a "Xinhua Dictionary" on the side, and scattered papers with large characters written on them.
Gong Xiaomei had never studied, and once recognized a few words in the village literacy class, but later she didn't go because she was too tired every day.
The reason why she still has to start reading now is because the few recipes that Ruan Jiaojiao gave her can't always rely on others to read to her, so she still has to learn it herself.
Ruan Jiaojiao's salary for her is too high and too high, not to mention the benefits at the end of each month, and the year-end bonus for the four seasons clothes.
What she once didn't dare to look at anymore now doesn't have to look at the price.
The people who taught her how to use the Xinhua dictionary were Cao Kang and Steward Xu, both of whom took great care of her, and they could be approached if they had any questions in their spare time.
Occasionally I go back to see my son, and I will also ask my son to study.
Her son, Wang Youkang, entered high school at the end of August, and his results in the opening exam were quite good.
studied with Gong Xiaomei, in addition to Chen Fusheng, there was also Wu Maoming, who had been staying in the backyard, except for Wu Maoming, who appeared in the small kitchen for three meals.
He was also illiterate, but he had to understand the hand-copied planting instructions that Ruan Jiaojiao gave him.
As long as it is related to flowers and trees, no one cares more than him.
After confirming today's ingredients, Gong Xiaomei turned off the lamp, turned off the radio, and walked out of the room lightly.
"The puppy is so good-looking today, wait for Steward Xu to get up, Sister-in-law Gong will cook pork liver for you to eat today."
"Wang...... Woowoo woo ......"
The little dog barked softly, as if he was responding to the peace, as if he was being coquettish.
It is now a lot fatter than before, its hair is smooth and shiny, anyone who comes will think that it has been a pampered little master since it was a child, where can you still see that it was once a wandering little pitiful......
"Okay, you still want to eat fish, don't you? Sister-in-law Gong will pick you a delicious fish later, you are obedient. ”
"Wang!"
Seeing that the puppy answered and jumped back to his nest to blow the fan, Gong Xiaomei walked into the kitchen and carried two baskets, and then opened the door of the bungalow.
The air in the morning is really good, especially in the garden, which is full of verdant greenery.
The seeds given by Ruan Jiaojiao at the beginning, with the efforts of Wu Maoming and Chen Fusheng, have basically been planted, and the most competitive dogtooth root grass has been formed, which makes people feel good at a glance.
The path to the front and back gardens is also carefully trimmed with stone slabs, which blends well with the lawn and is very natural.
Gong Xiaomei took her own special grocery cart from the carport, and the seats behind the car were equipped with woven baskets, and the two baskets at the front of the car were used to hold different ingredients.
Her first stop was a market next to the pier, which was actually a black market, where fishermen peddled fresh fish and shrimp in the early morning.
There are also risks, but because there are many alleys and alleys on the side of the market, the ground is slippery and difficult to move, so no one will catch it.
Gong Xiaomei went to a small house next to the market, which is also a resident's house, because she is familiar with it, as long as she says what she wants in advance, people will keep it for her.
"Xiaomei, you're here!" The courtyard door of the resident's house was open, and when she saw Gong Xiaomei getting out of the car, she immediately greeted her warmly.
Can you not be enthusiastic, she gives too much!
"Everything you asked for yesterday is ready, and there are new big worms today, how many do you want to bring? It's all female, but fat, give you the cheapest price, 1 yuan and a dime a catty. There's also a wild mandarin fish that my father-in-law picked up in the morning, and we think you're sure to like it. ”
The sister-in-law with coiled hair took the basket in Gong Xiaomei's hand and handed it to her youngest son to get the goods, and she kept selling it in her mouth.
The "big worm" in her mouth is also the hairy crab, and the hairy crab in September is indeed extremely fat.
"How many big bugs are there? Show me. I want that mandarin fish too, I want it alive. ”
"Good, good! Little shrimp, help your Aunt Mei put on the mandarin fish! The fish seller's sister-in-law shouted to her youngest son, and took Gong Xiaomei to see the crabs with a smile on her face.
Gong Xiaomei squatted next to the wooden barrel, reached out and took a bundled female crab, checked it carefully, stood up and said, "This bucket is all over, you let the little shrimp take those fish or send them to the old place." The day after tomorrow, I will prepare two buckets of such crabs, as well as fish and shrimp, and I will give you the list tomorrow and send them over the day after tomorrow. ”
Because the day after tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, crabs are indispensable, considering that Ruan Jiaojiao may invite guests or give gifts, Gong Xiaomei bought more, anyway, it can also be made into bald butter at that time, and it will not be wasted.
"Hey! You can rest assured that you are guaranteed to prepare the best. The sister-in-law who sold the fish was about to stiffen with a smile, calculated the money, and after Gong Xiaomei finished paying, she enthusiastically sent her out.
The second stop is to go to the vegetable station and the pork stall at the entrance of the vegetable station to buy vegetables.
When Gong Xiaomei arrived on a bicycle, the pork stall was already surrounded by crowds, and every household came to line up early in the morning, just because they were afraid that there would be no good meat in the evening.
But Gong Xiaomei didn't panic, she knew both butchers in the pork stall, and if she gave a little benefit, they would prepare and put away the things she wanted a day in advance.
As for what benefits are given? Two packs of Huazi a month.
This is still Ruan Jiaojiao bought it from the friendship store when she was eager to shop, and occasionally gave a pack to the driver who learned to drive, and let Sister-in-law Gong take the rest to take care of.
After carefully selecting vegetables from the vegetable station and coming out again, the crowd around the butcher stall was much smaller.
Gong Xiaomei appeared at the side of the crowd, and when the butcher's apprentice saw her, she walked aside and waited to get the meat.
returned to the bungalow with a full load, and after taking things with the little shrimp waiting at the door, Gong Xiaomei's grocery shopping project in the morning was successfully completed.
…
The long seaweed-like hair is scattered on the back, and the sporadic red marks on the butterfly bones can be seen from the gaps between the hairs, and the long legs that are naked/exposed outside the thin blanket are even more "miserable", from the legs/roots to the ankles, there are many traces that have turned purple, as if they are allergic.
Ji Huai'an came out of the bathroom naked/naked/topless.
The chest and chest are strong, and the sturdy back is covered with fine nail scratches and reddish-purple spots.
Seeing that Ruan Jiaojiao, who was not hot, kicked the blanket, and the nightdress, which was not long, kept rolling up because of the movement, Ji Huai'an's eyes darkened, her throat rolled, and she immediately stepped forward to cover her with a blanket again.
"Hot ......"
Ruan Jiaojiao muttered and began to struggle again.
"Jiaojiao, I'm going to catch a cold when the fan blows later......"
The air conditioner had been turned on in the room before, and a few days ago, because of the cold wind blowing from sweating, Ruan Jiaojiao caught a cold, so the two of them slept with the fan on for the past two days.
But Ruan Jiaojiao, who is used to air conditioning, can still tolerate the fan, not only the minimum wind speed, but the most important thing is not to blow on herself!
