Mrs. Zhao thought to herself that she was reluctant to let her child catch the wolf. She endured the pain in her body and said again: "Go to my place tomorrow to get money and buy some meat."

You know, the last time she bought meat was two months ago.

Wu Julan was very flattered after hearing this: "Mom, I don't need you to pay for it, I will just buy it tomorrow."

Although she still doesn't understand why such a difficult mother-in-law is willing to do facial makeup for her eldest daughter.

But if the mother-in-law wants her daughter to stay, that is the best thing. Even if she is usually frugal, she is not willing to spend money to buy meat at this time.

"That's fine," Mrs. Zhao happened to be worried about money, so she agreed, "Then I'll kill the big rooster at home."

Seeing that her mother was still refusing, Xiao Hong quickly smiled and thanked her: "Thank you, Grandma Zhao, have you had dinner? How about I cook you something to eat?"

The main reason is that the weather is hot now, and I am afraid that the food will go rancid, so I try to finish it as much as possible.

"No, I've eaten at Jiang's house." Mrs. Zhao was very happy when she talked about this: "That magic fortune teller is really good. He was not surprised at all when he heard that I came to the door. He had already expected it and asked her daughter-in-law to cook more.

He deliberately stayed with me to have dinner before coming back."

Xiao Hong didn't expect that Mrs. Jiang could fool people. When Mrs. Zhao talked about her, she couldn't stop being excited.

Zhao Youqiang, on the other hand, put on his wellies and carried a few bamboo cages to put the cages in the stream.

After Grandma Zhao left with satisfaction, Xiao Hong said to Wu Julan: "Mom, I happen to want to go to town tomorrow. How about my sister and I go buy meat? It's good to get familiar with this place so as not to delay the work at home.

.”

In the countryside, there is a lot of work in the fields all year round.

The barley fields need to be harvested, the corn fields need to be fetched with water, and the bean fields need to be weeded. There is indeed a lot of work.

Wu Julan hesitated for a while, then nodded: "Okay, I'll wait and ask if the He family's tractor will go to town tomorrow."

"No, we can just go there by bicycle." Xiao Hong was really disappointed with the current means of transportation, and even more desperate with the roads in and out.

What's more, she didn't want to deal with three aunts and six women riding tractors.

"It's more convenient to ride out by yourself. You don't have to wait around. Anyway, Xiao Fang and I are with us."

After Xiao Hong finished speaking, when she saw Yanyan looking at her expectantly, she smiled at her: "Yanyan will come with us too. Can my sister buy you some popsicles?"

Yanyan nodded excitedly: "Okay, I know the way. I will go with my eldest sister, who is at the school in the town."

On Zhashan Mountain, there is only an elementary school in Qiancun, which only provides first, second and third grade students. After that, you have to go to Houzhai Town to find elementary schools, junior high schools and high schools.

Therefore, Xiao Fang always rode her bicycle to study in the town.

She always goes to school in the town on Sunday afternoons and returns home on Saturday afternoons.

This night, in an unfamiliar environment, Xiao Hong slept quite soundly.

Although there is no electricity here yet, the temperature inside the mountain is several degrees lower than outside. It is even more comfortable at night, and everyone has to cover themselves with towels and quilts.

When she woke up, it was already the next morning, and the sun slipped in through the small window, indicating that it was a good day.

After Xiao Hong got up, she went downstairs to wash up. She saw Xiao Fang cutting sweet potato vines with a guillotine and feeding the pigs, while Yanyan was sweeping the floor.

Yanyan smiled shyly when she saw her: "Sister, there is porridge on the table."

She is actually a bit acquainted with life, but she is really looking forward to going to the town.

Anyway, in her memory, she didn't go to town that often.

But the town has electricity, a TV, and many new things, which she has always longed for.

Because of this, she did not reject this sister who suddenly appeared.

"Okay," Xiao Hong was a little embarrassed: "Why didn't you call me?"

It was indeed a bit late to sleep until after six o'clock.

Nowadays, it gets light before five o'clock in the morning. Everyone goes out to work while it is bright and not hot.

Xiao Fang washed her hands after feeding the pigs: "Okay, I'll call you next time. You go and eat porridge now."

What was cooked was mung bean porridge and half a salted duck egg.

She finished eating quickly and went out with Xiao Fangyanyan carrying her cloth bag.

At home, Zhao Youqiang rode a 28-inch Phoenix bicycle with bars, and later bought Xiao Fang a second-hand 26-inch women's bicycle.

Xiao Fang saw Xiao Hong riding a 28-inch bicycle very skillfully and couldn't help shouting: "The road here is not good, please ride slower."

"I know." Xiao Hong responded perfunctorily, and then told the girl sitting behind him, grabbing her clothes: "Yanyan, please hold my waist, don't worry, I'm very good at driving."

The mountain breeze blows on your face, bringing the fragrance of the trees.

By the time we arrived in town, it was already past seven o'clock.

At this time, there were not many people in the vegetable market.

Xiao Fang first took them to the vegetable market to buy meat.

There were only two meat stalls in the vegetable market. Unfortunately, one of the meat stalls was not out today, and they arrived a little late. The only meat stall left was some bones, pig offal and a few pieces.

Lean meat.

People nowadays like to eat meat with a little fat and oil.

It would be best if there is pork belly.

Therefore, Xiao Fang felt a little regretful when she saw the lean meat: "Auntie, is there no fat meat?"

The proprietress was very happy today because she didn't go out to the stall because she had something to do at home, so their business was particularly good today. When she heard this, she smiled and said: "Also, my guy went to kill the pig. If you are sure you want it, then you can get more than half of it."

Come back in an hour and you can buy the best and freshest meat.”

When Xiao Hong saw those bones, he thought of sweet and sour pork ribs, as well as those pig offal, which can be braised in braised large intestine, green pepper pork liver, and five-spice pork belly. Everything is delicious.

Anyway, when she saw this, she even thought of how to pack it up and eat it.

But when I thought about the hot weather now, I couldn't bear to clean it up, so I suppressed my appetite and persuaded myself: Forget it, I'm not lazy. Anyway, the braised pork and sweet and sour pork ribs are also delicious. I can wait until the weather gets colder to clean up the pigs.

Get into the water.

Xiao Fang saw Xiao Hong's eyes falling on the pig's water. She quickly approached her and whispered: "This is not easy to clean up. It always tastes a bit smelly."

He squeezed the money in his trouser pocket again and said, "Let's go shopping outside first and buy later?"

Her mother gave her ten yuan this morning and asked her to buy four pounds of meat. She also asked her to buy some sugar, matches and soap.

Xiao Hong responded, and after going out, she bought three milk popsicles from the small shop at the door. The three sisters went to the supply and marketing cooperative first.

After Xiao Fang bought candy, a letter of matches, and two bars of soap, Xiao Hong called them to the counter where they bought shoes: "You choose a pair of shoes, and each of our three sisters will have a pair."

Yanyan looked at the white sneakers inside, and then at the plastic sandals on her feet. She was very excited and looking forward to it: "Is it really possible?"

Xiao Fang was silent for a moment. A pair of shoes cost at least eight yuan per person, and she wanted to refuse.

But seeing that Yanyan was already excitedly looking at the white sneakers, she thought that her sister mostly wore old-fashioned cloth shoes, which were indeed old and cumbersome, so she also went to choose them: "Then we're not welcome."
