Chapter 9 I live by the sea and have so much freedom

…

The next day, Xu Nan got up early again.

After the two had breakfast, Lu Nanzhou went to work in the hospital, while Xu Nan went to the market and went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative to purchase ingredients.

She couldn't sleep last night, so she thought about it again and again, and finally decided on what she would sell at the stall today.

Beef Pan Noodles!

After all, it was the basket of eggs that Feng Tian sent her yesterday that inspired her.

But there was no food at home. The pork she bought the day before yesterday was used to make wontons this morning, so she had to get up early to buy it.

Entering the gate of the supply and marketing cooperative, when the boss saw it was Xu Nan, his eyes flashed with gold and he surrounded him enthusiastically.

This is a big customer!

With the enthusiastic service of the store owner, Xu Nan bought the ingredients needed to make beef noodles.

…

Returning to the family courtyard, Xu Nan walked into the courtyard gate carrying large and small bags of the ingredients he had bought.

I met Aunt Li and a few middle-aged women who were just going to buy groceries.

Aunt Li met Xu Nan and greeted her warmly:

"Mummy, have you just come back from the market? Why did you get up so early?"

When Aunt Li saw Xu Nan carrying large and small packages in her hands, she knew that she had gone to the market.

She originally wanted to ask her how the stall was going, but when she saw so many people around her, she was afraid that Xu Nan would be too shy to say it in front of so many people, so she didn't ask.

Aunt Li was thinking about finding a time in a few days to go to Xu Nan's house to ask how she was doing. This child was new here. Lu Nanzhou went to work and was not often at home, so he might be too busy sometimes. She went over to catch up.

Maybe it can still help.

After hearing Aunt Li's words, Xu Nan stopped, responded to Aunt Li with a smile and greeted her.

"Yes, Aunt Li, I went to the market to buy some food."

As for the people behind her?

I'm sorry she doesn't know her well.

A middle-aged woman opposite looked at Xu Nan and asked Aunt Li with curiosity in her eyes:

"Whose girl is this? Why do you look so strange? I haven't seen her before."

This little girl is really handsome, but I don’t know if she has a partner.

After hearing this, Aunt Li immediately introduced her to them: "This is Xiao Lu's daughter-in-law. She has only been here from her hometown for a few days. It's normal that you haven't seen her before."

"The Lu family's wife?"

Several middle-aged women said in unison. Then they all looked behind them and shut up for a moment.

This atmosphere...isn't right...

Xu Nan followed their gaze and saw a strange woman standing at the back. After hearing Aunt Li's answer, she looked at him with an extremely unkind look, with a strange hostility.

It's quite baffling, this aunt, we don't know each other, why are you looking at me like this?

The strange woman seemed to be older than Aunt Li, but she was dressed very fashionably, wearing the most popular wool curls, blue-purple eye shadow, and lipstick on her lips.

Xu Nan looked at her face and recalled it carefully. This woman seemed a bit...familiar?

It seemed like he had seen it somewhere, but Xu Nan couldn't remember it.

The atmosphere was inexplicably awkward. Everyone just stood there and no one spoke.

Even Aunt Li, who was usually very discreet, noticed it and asked:

"Why don't you say anything anymore?"

Wasn't it quite lively just now?

Aunt Li was a little confused.

After hearing this, the middle-aged woman who had just asked Aunt Li looked down at the canvas bag in her hand uncomfortably, feeling extremely annoyed.

If she had known earlier, she would not have asked more questions.

Aunt Li just moved here last month. She didn't know what was going on, but the people in their courtyard were indeed clean!

I think back then Aunt Feng treated Lu Nanzhou as her son-in-law, praising him whenever she met, as if she believed that Lu Nanzhou would not marry her unless he was his daughter.

What's the result?

Her daughter confessed her love to Lu Nanzhou, but was rejected. Not long after that, she married her daughter-in-law from the countryside.

This Aunt Feng is an embarrassment. Not to mention it is a slap in the face. In the eyes of Lu Nanzhou, the excellent girl she raised is not as good as an uneducated wild girl from the countryside.

The middle-aged woman who just asked the question quietly raised her head and glanced at Xu Nan.

Apart from anything else, I don't blame Dr. Lu for looking down on her daughter from Aunt Feng's family. With her little appearance and short appearance, Xu Nan is not as good as that pretentious daughter from Aunt Feng's family.

After Aunt Feng scanned Xu Nan from top to bottom, she saw a bunch of things in her hand and asked:

"Did you buy all of these?"

Xu Nan was confused by the question and thought to herself, isn't this nonsense?

If she didn't buy it, could it be you?

But out of politeness, Xu Nan had no choice but to reply with a "hmm".

But as soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Feng snorted with disdain and even scolded her:

"Sure enough, people from the countryside have short-sightedness, have never seen good things, don't know how to save money, and don't know how to feel bad when they spend other people's money."

"Yesterday, I heard what my family Feng Tian said. You said that there are only two of you in your family, and you cooked four dishes for one meal. It's so extravagant. It's not easy for Xiao Lu to go to work, and you don't know how to feel sorry for others."

When Xu Nan heard this, she suddenly realized where the hostility came from.

The strange woman in front of me for a long time was Feng Tian's mother. She said that why she looked so familiar didn't explain everything.

She and this mother and daughter are really damn...fateful.

Both of these women are not good people. The daughter wants to destroy the relationship between husband and wife and goes to other people's homes to sow discord.

Aunt Feng in front of me, as an elder, has no sense of boundaries. She doesn't care about her own family's affairs, but she still cares about others. Isn't this idle?

Neither mother nor daughter are lovable!

Xu Nan didn't care about her. It didn't matter whether she was old or young. If you didn't respect me, there was no need for me to respect you. He got angry and said directly:

"You live by the seaside? Is it so wide?"

"Have I spent your money? Have I eaten your rice? Have I disturbed you by breathing fresh air?"

"What do you mean by not feeling bad about spending other people's money? Lu Nanzhou and I are husband and wife, do you understand that we have joint property? His money is my money, why can't I spend it?"

Xu Nan became more and more energetic as he spoke, and a long string of words came out of his mouth. After speaking, he turned around and left regardless of other people's opinions.

After hearing this, Aunt Feng was so angry that she jumped up and down. She was kind enough to educate her, but the stinky girl not only refused to listen, she actually refuted her.

She pointed at Xu Nan for a while and only said:

"You...you...don't run!"

She hasn't finished speaking yet!

Aunt Feng's face turned blue and purple with anger. Sure enough, this stinky girl Xu Nan was just like what her family Feng Tian said, with sharp teeth and a sharp mouth.

When Aunt Li saw Aunt Feng pointing at Xu Nan, as if she wanted to catch up, she quickly stopped her:

"Actually...what you mumbled does make sense."

Aunt Feng glared at her for an instant, and Aunt Li swallowed the rest of her words silently.

After all, you haven’t eaten her rice, right?

Back home, Xu Nan started to process the ingredients he bought.

She first took the ingredients out of the bag and placed them on the table, including onions, ginger, garlic, star anise, strawberry, ham, red pepper, beef, and the basket of eggs that Feng Tian sent yesterday.

Start boiling eggs. After cleaning the pot, open the faucet and take a pot of water. Add the eggs in cold water. Turn on the gas stove and turn it to high heat.

Then rinse the purchased beef under the faucet, take it out, place it on the chopping board, and cut it into evenly sized pieces.

Then put the cut beef pieces into a basin of clean water to soak away the blood, and continue processing the rest of the ingredients.

Then I took out the dried red peppers, put them into a small basin, poured in warm water and soaked them for later use. At this time, the eggs were also cooked.

Xu Nan took out the eggs one by one with a spoon, soaked them in cold water, and peeled the eggs while they were just out of the pan.
