Chapter 55 White Lie
After buying the bicycle ticket, Zhou Li'an did not go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a bicycle immediately.
She stayed and bought out two stalls.
One sells eggs and the other sells pork.
These days, most of those who come to the black market to sell things by themselves are not doing much.
Zhou Li'an bought out the egg stall and only bought two kilograms of eggs for one dollar and six.
I bought ten kilograms of fresh pork, including three kilograms of pork belly, and the rest was lean meat that most people didn't like at this time. It cost a total of twelve nine yuan.
After buying eggs and pork, Zhou Li'an went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a bicycle.
The total cost was one hundred sixty-two and a half yuan.
Today's income is five hundred and twenty-two and the expenditure is three hundred and twenty-seven.
Including the remaining 'fafafa' from before, Zhou Li'an actually had two hundred and three eighty-eight dollars.
When riding his bicycle back, Zhou Li'an felt that he was richer than ever.
When Zhou Li'an returned to the village, he had already missed lunch time, but it happened to be the time for everyone to go to work in the afternoon.
Zhou Li'an found a deserted place, took out the pork he bought and fixed it on the back seat of his bicycle.
As for eggs, they were hung in bags on the handlebars of bicycles. Most bicycles at this time did not have baskets on the front.
After doing this, Zhou Li'an continued to ride forward, preparing to meet the curiosity and comments of the aunts in the village.
As Zhou Li'an expected, she rode a brand-new bicycle and quickly attracted the attention of others.
"Girl from the Zhou family, you bought so much meat?"
"Miss Zhou, what's in the bag in front of you?"
Zhou Li'an responded to the bag's question: "I bought some eggs. Didn't my own chickens just come in? They can't lay eggs yet, so I thought I'd buy some to eat first."
"That's it..."
I really can't live my life.
"Miss Zhou, where did you get your bicycle?" an aunt called out and asked.
"I bought it," Zhou Li'an replied.
"That's it..."
"Auntie, you guys are busy, I'm leaving first." After earning enough attention from the aunts in the village and achieving his goal, Zhou Li'an said.
"well."
Before Zhou Li'an had gone far, the aunts' discussions could be heard from behind.
"Don't tell me, it's different if you have money. I even bought a bicycle."
Someone objected.
"What kind of money do I have? I only need 600 yuan from the Lu family in total. First she built a house, and now she buys such an expensive bicycle. She also buys meat and eggs. I feel flustered when she spends money like this."
"Why are you panicking? Have you spent your family's money? Besides, isn't there still thirty-six per month?"
"If you buy so much meat at once, how can you get so many votes?"
"Don't you understand this? If you have money, you can exchange it for tickets."
"Isn't that a loss?"
"Rich people think the same as you."
"Girls in the Zhou family are buying eggs this time. Why don't you just buy them in the village? It will save us the trouble of going to the purchasing station to sell them."
"They are young people who are not family members. How can they know that money, rice, oil and salt are expensive? They want to buy them from the village."
"I guess after repairing the house and buying the car, she won't have much money left."
"Yeah, no matter how much money you have, you can't afford to spend it like this. You said this bicycle is so expensive, what's the use of buying it?"
"..."
When Zhou Li'an was riding his bicycle, he met Zhou's mother at work.
"Mom, come over for dinner tonight, I have something to say."
Mother Zhou has seen her daughter riding a bicycle a long time ago. Who knows where her daughter got it.
After getting closer, I noticed how much fresh pork was tied to the table behind my daughter.
Seeing her daughter spending so much money on meat, Zhou's mother decided to persuade her.
But now that there were so many people around, she didn't want to talk about her daughter in front of everyone, so she had no choice but to accept her daughter's invitation in the evening.
Thinking that when I see my daughter at night, I must talk to her.
If you have money, you should spend it sparingly and not spend it lavishly.
Otherwise, if all the money in hand is spent, how will we live in the future?
You must know that it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
Zhou Li'an didn't know these thoughts of Zhou's mother. When she got home, she started cooking for the hungry Xiao Zhouzhou.
She didn't take anything from the space to eat on the way today. Thinking that Xiao Zhouzhou was at home, she came back to eat together.
Xiao Zhouzhou's legs hadn't grown yet. Zhou Li'an saw that it had finished eating and wiped Xiao Zhouzhou's mouth before holding it next to Lu Yanzhou.
When she put Xiao Zhouzhou down, Zhou Li'an clearly felt Xiao Zhouzhou rubbing her hand, as if thanking her.
In the beginning, we kept small animals to prevent people from attacking us at night.
Now, Zhou Li'an takes good care of Xiao Zhouzhou because he likes her, although Xiao Zhouzhou seems to like Lu Yanzhou more.
Zhou Li'an touched Xiao Zhouzhou's dog's head before going to clean up the house.
After cleaning up, she sat behind the desk and started reading.
She had graduated from college before she traveled through time, and all her high school knowledge had been given back to the teacher. In addition, some of the content now was different from what it was later, so she needed to study hard.
After reading for more than three hours, seeing that it was almost time to finish work, Zhou Li'an went to the kitchen.
However, after staying in the kitchen for a second, Zhou Li'an came to the yard again.
She released the chicks in the space. After a while, the attentive mother Zhou would come over. Zhou Li'an was worried that the other party would ask.
Although her chicks are a bit strange to begin with, after all, they grow three times faster in space than outside.
But she couldn't make the chick smaller, so she had to do this.
The worst case scenario is that Zhou’s mother asked her about the size of the chicken, but she didn’t know.
After doing this, Zhou Li'an entered the kitchen again.
Tonight, she is going to make braised pork, shredded pork pumpkin, green pepper shredded pork and tomato and egg soup.
When she was done, her second brother Zhou Shuan came over with Zhou's mother and the others.
As before, Zhou Shuan gave Zhou Li'an twenty yuan: "Tomorrow's food money."
After Zhou Li'an accepted the money, he saw his mother looking at the chicken coop.
She also clearly saw that Zhou's mother was a little confused when she saw those chicks.
But Zhou’s mother didn’t ask her daughter.
After all, there's nothing wrong with those chickens other than being a little bigger.
Her daughter couldn't make the chicken bigger, so why did she ask?
Mother Zhou went to the kitchen to help her daughter serve food.
Watching those delicious dishes being served one after another, Zhou’s mother felt mixed.
This daughter really thinks of them in everything good.
Yesterday when the second child went back, he told them that he gave them most of the dumplings and the meat he bought.
Thinking of this, Zhou’s mother warned:
"If you have any good food in the future, just think about it yourself. Your father and I are old and don't need to eat such good food. Your brothers and the others are young and have to get delicious food by themselves. You, my sister, shouldn't always do it.
Give it to them, and if you want to take it, it’s more like they give it to you.”
Hearing what Zhou's mother said, Zhou Li'an knew that the other party must care about her money.
