Chapter 393: House Ruiner in the 1970s (24)

Xu Yin couldn't keep the meat when she heard it, and the cart flew up.

There is indeed too much pork in the system warehouse to be eaten, but there is no chance to take it out.

Grandpa Xu just went down to relieve himself. When he looked back, where was his granddaughter? What about the trolley?

 Ouch, I didn’t even have time to fasten my belt, so I rushed to catch up with him.

 “Yin girl! Yin girl!”

Xu Yin prepared the money halfway and handed it to Xiao Zhu as soon as it arrived. She handed over the money with one hand and asked for the meat with the other: "Where's the meat? Give it to me!"

"Yin Yin?" Xu Yuanyuan turned around and saw her, and was shocked, "Is this meat yours?"

“Yes, yes! I asked Master Li to keep it for me. Grandpa and I..."

 Hey, where is grandpa?

 She then remembered that she seemed to have left the old man behind.

I turned around and was about to look for him when I saw old man Xu holding up the waist of his trousers and catching up in a hurry.

 “Grandpa, why are you running so fast!”

“What else are you doing? Why are you pushing the cart so fast?”

　　　…”

 Well, it’s her fault.

Xu Yin touched her nose and stepped forward to help the old man sit down on the cart and take a breath.

Xu Yuanyuan saw that the old man was also there, thinking of the person standing aside, her expression was a little shy.

 “Grandpa, this is my partner.”

 Old man Xu heard from his wife that the eldest daughter-in-law was looking for a partner for her eldest granddaughter, but he didn't expect to meet her on the street today.

He took a look at the young man. He looked upright and seemed to be a good guy, so he nodded.

“Grandpa, my partner is here today. I’m going to cut some meat and make dumplings. I was just about to buy it, but Yinyin beat me to it.”

 Xu Yuanyuan said, glancing at the pork in Xu Yin's hand. It was of good quality with three layers. After today, it's hard to say whether it will be available tomorrow.

 She didn’t know that this was specially left by Master Li for Xu Yin.

If you don’t save it specially, only the first few customers in line can buy such a good variety of three-layer products.

For people like Xu Yuanyuan who come to the city from the town below to attend the market, unless they queue up before dawn, the food will be sold out by the time it is their turn.

 Xu Yin: “…”

 Subconsciously put the pork belly in his hand into the backpack.

He replied to his cousin: "This means you came too late and the meat has been sold out. Come earlier another day!"

“…” Xu Yuanyuan squeezed out a smile, “Yin Yin…”

"Oh, is it already this time?" Xu Yin glanced at the big wall clock inside the supply and marketing cooperative, pushed up the trolley and said, "Cousin, I have to go home to make lunch, and I have to work in the afternoon, so I don't have time to chat with you. Ah! You two take your time shopping, grandpa and I will go back first!"

After walking a few steps, I remembered something and turned to Xu Yuanyuan and said: "By the way, cousin, I went to see Lan Lan at school a while ago and saw that the little girl has lost a lot of weight. I guess it's because she started to draw. Could you please remind me She must eat enough, otherwise I worry that she will not grow taller."

Hearing this, Old Man Xu nodded and said, "You have to eat enough. If you don't eat enough, you won't have the strength to read and write."

　　　…”

Xu Yuanyuan was extremely upset. what does it mean?

 Is it her fault that her family didn’t give Xu Lan enough to eat?

 She also said in front of her partner, "You must have done it on purpose!"

 When Xu Yin walked away, Xu Yuanyuan choked with red eyes and said, "My family treats Taotao and Lanlan very well. I don't know why Yin Yin said that on purpose."

"I believe you! You are a kind and good comrade." Wang Zhengguo took out his handkerchief and gently wiped away her tears.

Hearing what he said, Xu Yuanyuan felt a hint of sweetness in her heart.

 The two of them didn't buy any meat, so they went to buy a fish.

  Make braised fish for lunch.

When he got home, Mr. Xu came home from get off work to have lunch. When he saw his uncle coming to the door, he happily brought out tea that he was usually reluctant to drink.

Xu Yuanyuan carried the fish into the kitchen: "Mom, guess who I saw in the city?"

"Who?" Zou Caifen was cutting vegetables, "It's not your third uncle and his wife, right? They are lazy and greedy, so they went to a restaurant in the city?"

“No, it’s grandpa and Xu Yin. Xu Yin also pushed a cart, and I don’t know what’s on the cart.”

Zou Caifen stopped chopping vegetables and said thoughtfully: "I'm afraid you're not here to buy black market grain in the city? The third family may be in trouble again. Your grandparents are just partial."

"Buy grain?" Xu Yuanyuan didn't think it was right. "Xu Yin pushed the cart very fast, and even grabbed the last pound of meat from me! Then she went back. If the cart was loaded with grain, it wouldn't be possible to push it so easily, right? ?”

With this said, Zou Caifen also felt that it was unlikely to buy grain: "It would be possible for Xu Sang. She is used to doing farm work and is strong, but Xu Yin..."

She clicked her tongue and shook her head: "It's probably something else. Maybe she helped the old man get a few bags of cotton. When he got back, the cart was empty so he could run fast. By the way, you said she was robbing you of meat, what's going on? ?”

Xu Yuanyuan pouted and told the story of buying meat, and finally said: "Mom, where do you think Xu Yin got the money and tickets to buy meat? The third uncle and the third aunt are so poor that our two families have to help them, and how can we help them?" Eat meat…”

 “You forgot that she was gluing matchboxes, she was probably getting paid.”

  As for the meat tickets, maybe they had to find someone to exchange them for.

For example, there are many employees in an agricultural machinery factory. Their families are large and they don’t have enough food to eat. They use their monthly meat stamps in exchange for food.

Zou Caifen's face was filled with displeasure just at the mention of matchboxes:

"Your grandma is just partial, always thinking about your third uncle's family. If your third uncle's mud had not been able to hold up the wall, who would have gotten your father instead? If it is not his turn, he would have to help those two families raise their children... Seeing those two little ones I get angry at animals and can't do anything, and they are most active in eating. The thought of raising them until they grow up makes me panic."

The two-room staff room is small, and it is too cramped for a family to live in. Two children are also crammed into it. Fortunately, the place where my son works is close to his mother-in-law's home. In the past few years, the young couple had to live with their parents-in-law for the time being.

"Speaking of work, I don't know when your brother's temporary job will be turned into a full-time job. I hope my in-laws can help me to turn him into a full-time job as soon as possible. Then I will feel relieved. And about your job, has the news about the exam been released? "

"Not yet." Xu Yuanyuan shook her head, "Sister-in-law went to find someone to inquire about it. I guess it will be next month at the earliest."

"Then you take this time to review carefully. This requirement for graduating from junior high school can stop many people from taking the exam. There won't be too many people taking the exam. You work hard and strive to be admitted to a formal job, and you can save money by asking your sister-in-law's family to help find it. For temporary workers, the pay is low and the work is hard."

"Um."

Zou Caifen fried the grass carp pieces and divided them into two plates, one with the middle part and the other with the head and tail.

She hid the middle plate in the cupboard: "Your brother is coming over after get off work. This plate is for dinner."

Xu Yuanyuan frowned: "But Wang Zhengguo is here, why don't you treat him with fish heads and tails? He bought this fish."

Zou Caifen had no choice but to pick up two middle pieces of fish meat, put them on the top of the plate of fish heads and fish tails, and told her daughter: "You will pick them up for my uncle later, and you have to move quickly, so as not to be picked up by those two little beasts."

Xu Yuanyuan thought of Xu Yin's words and hesitated: "Mom, why don't you take them all out? It's rare for Wang Zhengguo to come to the house, and my brother is not an outsider..."

"Just because your brother is one of our own, I have to keep it for him. You **** girl! Before you get married, you started to turn your elbows outward?" Zou Caifen glared at her daughter and went out with the food.
