Chapter 090: Be low-key, be low-key
That same evening.
The uncles and aunts of the Lu family brought a lot of things, rice and dried bamboo shoots, five chickens, three ducks, and dozens of eggs.
"Jiao'er, you can bring all of this tomorrow."
Five chickens and three ducks croaked on the ground, which was extremely lively.
Lu Jiaoer: "......"
It's not that it's hard to bring, but can you bring live poultry on the train at this time?! Isn't it dirty or smelly to bring it?!
"Auntie, auntie, I won't bring chickens and ducks, and I won't bring trains either. Raw eggs are easy to break, so tomorrow you can boil five eggs and take them on the train to eat. ”
It's not that she doesn't want to take chickens and ducks to Beijing, it's mainly because it's inconvenient to bring them. The chickens and ducks in Gui Province are much better and tastier than in other provinces, and even the chickens have to be divided into several different species, and the same is true for ducks.
The chicken and duck meat in Gui Province is delicate and the taste is particularly good, and what Lu Jiaoer misses most in Beijing is the chicken and duck in her hometown.
No, after she came back, Lu Jianping and Su Yulan either killed chickens today or ducks tomorrow, and the main thing was to let Lu Jiaoer eat enough.
What?!
Can't bring chickens and ducks?!
So, that one with rice and eggs, dried bamboo shoots?!
A few uncles and aunts looked at each other, there are not many specialties here, and the ones they can get their hands on are chickens and ducks, and there are not many dry goods here.
The people in the mountain town mainly farm, and they are busy working in the fields all day and night, except for going to the mountains within a radius of more than ten miles to cut firewood three times a year, and generally do not enter the mountains.
There are not many mountains here, about less than one-fifth, and the rest are mountains and slopes, cultivated land, and dry land, which is enough for everyone to eat.
Therefore, in addition to raising chickens, ducks and pigs, the people here really don't have any mountain goods and dry goods.
"W-what can I do?!"
"What are you not going to eat?!"
"How expensive it must be to buy food on the train."
"Why don't we kill it and take it on the train again?!"
"You can still eat it for one day in this weather, but you can't be spoiled for two days?! If only winter were about the same. ”
"yes, you can't let it go when you kill it, and you can't let it go when it's cooked."
……
The big guy was worried as he spoke, he thought that these chickens and ducks would be brought to Beijing and eaten for at least two weeks, so they didn't have to spend so much money on Lu Jiaoer, and they could save a little bit, but it turned out that it was not easy to bring raw and cooked.
Lu Jiaoer: "......"
It's just a pity that it's not winter.
However, she does have a small space, but she can't put it, otherwise how can she round the field when asked?!
"Uncle, second uncle, uncle, these rice are too much, you don't need to bring so much, just go for twenty days. It is heavy, hard and troublesome to bring so many to the car, and we have to take care of our younger brothers and sisters, just bring a bag of rice. ”
There are three big bags of rice on the ground, and each bag is not a hundred meters, but it also looks like eighty or ninety pounds.
The three cousins are only sixteen or seventeen years old, and each of them may not be able to carry such a heavy bag of rice, what are these adults thinking?! In order to save money, it really doesn't look at the situation.
"How can a bag of rice be enough for you to eat?!"
"There are so many people, one person has to eat one pound of rice a day, and the three of you cousins and sisters are only three pounds, this bag is only enough for them to eat, and three bags is really not much."
"Jiao'er, then carry two bags, they still have to have this bit of strength."
"I think it's better to listen to Jiao'er, I heard that it's quite chaotic on the train, and people are more important than meters."
"Yes, sister-in-law, brothers and sisters, Jiao'er, she is right, let Jiuyu and them go together this time, in addition to wanting them to increase their knowledge, doesn't Jiao'er just want them to help watch Jiuqing and them?! Now that we've decided to go to the market, we're not short of the money we paid for the rice. ”
"Yes, yes, but we think badly."
"Okay, then I'll listen to you."
A few uncles and aunts originally thought that if three bags were too much and too heavy, those two bags would be fine, but after Lu Jianping and Su Yulan heard their daughter say that they were mainly optimistic about their youngest son and daughter, they immediately turned their heads and persuaded their brothers and concubines.
Who cares about these rice?!
What if someone loses it?!
If it weren't for the fact that the work in the field was inseparable from the husband and wife, they would have to go with them, mainly because they couldn't worry about so many children.
Uncles and aunts think about it, if Jiuqing and a few of them are lost, then they will not be human inside and out.
In the end, at Lu Jiaoer's suggestion, only bring a bag of rice and dried bamboo shoots, as well as thirty hard-boiled eggs.
"Mom and Dad, you can use this bicycle ticket when you have a chance, it's convenient to have a bicycle for anything."
The uncles and aunts were all gone, and Lu Jiaoer and her younger brothers and sisters had packed up their things, and she took advantage of the time before going to bed to explain to Lu's father and Lu's mother.
"We know that even if we want to buy it, it will be at the end of the year at the earliest. You just bought us a radio and a watch, and it's too eye-catching to buy a bicycle to let people know that our family has money, isn't that a thief?! ”
"Yes, don't worry, we know it."
Lu Jianping and Su Yulan also like bicycles, it is indeed very convenient to have a car, but there are not many families with cars in the town now, anyway, there are no more than 200 households.
Of course, one more of them is not too much, and one less of them is not too little, they just don't want to attract attention.
Since Lu's father and mother have said so, Lu Jiaoer also decided that it is better to keep a low profile, anyway, there is nothing wrong with making a fortune in a muffled voice.
