Chapter 2 Two Greedy Cats

When he walked out of the room, he ran into his younger brother and sister who were eavesdropping under the window. When Xu An discovered them, the two of them screamed and ran away wildly in the yard, shouting as they ran: "Brother is here, brother is so scary."

Xu An smiled and scolded the two of them, then returned to his room to look for clean clothes.

All high schools wear uniforms, two short-sleeved sets in the summer and two long-sleeved sets in the winter. The shoes are from the same old domestic brand Huili, either white with blue edges or white with red edges.

After rummaging through the heavy wooden box beside the bed, I found only four sets of school uniforms, two sets of summer clothes and two sets of winter clothes, a large black cotton-padded jacket for winter, two sweaters, two sets of autumn clothes and long johns, and three

Close-fitting clothes and no other clothing.

No wonder I have the impression that I have been wearing this set of clothes during the summer vacation. I feel that apart from this set of clothes, I have no other daily clothes.

The quality of the school uniforms is quite good. After three years of changing and washing, apart from looking a bit old, they have not deformed or faded or stained. It looks like they can still fight for another three or four years.

After changing his clothes, Xu An took out twenty-one and fifty cents from the fifty-one and fifty cents and put it into his pocket, and put the remaining thirty cents under the wooden box.

I glanced at the alarm clock and saw that it was almost eleven o'clock. The market usually closed its stalls around nine o'clock. Now I would definitely not be able to buy anything in the past. I might as well go to the butcher's house at the west end of the village to see if he could buy some leftover meat and weigh it.

After locking the courtyard door and instructing the two of them not to open the door until he returned, Xu An walked to the west end of the village with confidence.

The butcher's name is Xu Guosheng. Every day he kills a pig from the pig farm in the town and goes to the market to buy it. The remaining meat from the market is taken home and sold to the villagers at a cheaper price.

After walking for more than five minutes, Xu An arrived in front of the courtyard of Xu Guosheng's house. From a long distance away, he heard Xu Guosheng's wife gossiping in a loud voice.

"We came back late from the market this morning and didn't watch. I heard that Xu An jumped into the river early in the morning. When he was fished out, he was still bleeding. It was scary."

"It's nothing. Don't be blind. Why did you jump into the river for no reason? I guess you wanted to catch fish in the river and accidentally drowned."

"Then why did you get so bloody?"

"How do I know this? Didn't I also watch it?"

Xu An rubbed his nose in embarrassment. It seemed that he was the one being gossiped about by these two people.

It is estimated that this matter will be the talk of everyone in the village for some time in the future, just get used to it.

Xu An increased his strength and walked a few steps to make some noise. He pushed open the courtyard door of Xu Guosheng's house and greeted the two of them as if he had just arrived: "Uncle Guosheng, aunt, there is something left in the market today."

Is there any meat left?"

Speaking of Xu An's gossip, Xu An appeared in the yard, startling the two of them. It was obvious that the fat on their bodies jumped when they saw Xu An.

Xu Guosheng's wife reacted quickly. She turned around and walked into the room. As she walked, she said, "There is some lean meat and bones left. How much do you want?"

Meat prices were relatively cheap in 2012, with pork costing ten yuan per catty and large bones costing seven yuan per catty.

I need to make bone soup for grandma and fry two meat dishes. But there is no refrigerator at home, so I need a little less meat, which is enough for two meals.

"I want a pound of bones and half a pound of meat, please bother me."

"Why bother? There isn't much left, so I'll give it to you. Just give me fifteen yuan in total."

As he spoke, Xu Guosheng's wife handed a bulging red plastic bag to Xu An's hand, took fifteen yuan from his hand, pushed him out of the yard and closed the door.

Xu An weighed the bag in his hand. It weighed at least three and a half kilograms. Auntie was afraid that she would not close the courtyard door.

Although he was very moved, Xu An was not someone who liked to take advantage of others. He counted out five dollars and stuffed it through the crack in the courtyard door. He said loudly: "Auntie, I stuffed the remaining money into the crack in the door."

, remember to take it and don’t let it blow away in the wind.”

The door was pushed open with a clang, and Xu Guosheng's wife only saw the back of Xu An running away.

Picking up five one-dollar bills from the ground, he closed the courtyard door and couldn't help but mutter, "Why don't you give him five more yuan and keep it in his account? I'll charge him five less next time."

Xu Guosheng walked into the kitchen and wailed: "Daughter-in-law, I kept the big bones for making soup, have you sold them all?"

Xu Guosheng's wife gave him a gouging look and said angrily: "Eat one less meal as a way to lose weight. Look at how fat you are and how you still have the nerve to eat."

"If you don't want to eat, you won't eat. Why are you so fierce?" Xu Guosheng turned around and muttered in a low voice: "They all have the same figure, why are you just talking about me?"

There was no one on the road when we came here, but when we went back we met many familiar people.

When everyone sees Xu An, they say hello first, then turn around and start whispering.

Xu An said in response, "If you want to gossip about me, wait until I'm far away, because I can hear it!"

As soon as they reached the courtyard door, they saw two little heads through the gap. They were looking at the door eagerly. After confirming that the person coming was the elder brother, they worked together to open the courtyard door, cheered and ran to Xu An's side, starting to chirp.

.

"Brother, we have been observing behind the door and have never opened it!"

"Brother, what are you holding?"

"Brother, is this meat? Is this pig meat?"

"elder brother,"

"."

Xu An, whose brain was buzzing from the noise, knelt down and picked up the two of them one by one.

The two people exclaimed and hugged Xu An's head tightly, covering his eyes tightly.

"Xiaokang Xiaole, you are hugging me too tightly. My brother can't see the road and is about to fall."

"Don't fall, don't fall, it hurts if you fall."

The two hands holding their heads moved down, one hugged Xu An's mouth, and the other strangled Xu An's neck.

Okay, at least I can see the road clearly.

"Hurry up, big horse~"

"Hold it, the horse is about to start walking!"

Xu An deliberately shook his body, causing the two of them to scream.

He carried the two of them and walked around the yard before putting them down. He opened the plastic bag and showed them the pork inside.

"This is pork meat, which will turn into super delicious meat patties and super, super, super delicious fried pork in a while.

These are big pig bones. They are used to stew soup for grandma. After grandma drinks the soup stewed with pig bones, she can get out of bed and play with Xiaokang Xiaole."

In Xu An's description, the two little people looked at the meat, with a drop of crystal clear saliva overflowing from the corner of their mouths.

"Wow, these two greedy cats are actually drooling."

Being laughed at by Xu An, the two of them immediately became angry. They stretched out their hands to wipe the saliva from their mouths, pointed at Xu An and shouted: "Brother is a greedy cat, a greedy cat!"

Grandma Xu, who had been lying on her side, suddenly turned over when she heard the noise of the three brothers and sisters playing outside, with a smile on her face.

No matter how difficult life is, as long as we work together, things will get better.
