Era: Start as a buyer

Xikou Hutong courtyard, in front of Luo Cheng's house.

The last remaining half-grown rabbit has been fed by children over the past few days.

Zhao Qian moved out a stool and sat at the door in the morning. Today is the fifth day. Luo Cheng said that the attendance he applied for was five days. If nothing happens, he will be back today.

In the morning, Xu Cui'e opposite asked her to go shopping for groceries again, but Zhao Qian didn't go. Xu Cui'e is Aunt Liu's daughter-in-law, and she went shopping with her yesterday. When Zhao Qian went out, she deliberately took an extra dollar and some tickets with her, but she was reluctant to spend money.

Finally, Cui'e treated herself to a bowl of noodles. She was so enthusiastic that she couldn't even refuse. The noodles made by the chef at the noodle shop are delicious, but Zhao Qian actually has no shortage of noodles to eat. There is a lot of flour at home, so it is easy to eat noodles. It's just that she couldn't bear to eat without Luo Cheng.

Moreover, Cui'e has a large family, so she can buy as much food as she wants every day. A room about the same size as my own house, where my parents-in-law and brother-in-law live together. Cui'e also has three children. This is a family of eight living in a big house.

The room is divided into three sections, two small rooms and a living room for dining. The parents-in-law lived in the far end, and Cui'e, her husband, and their three children were squeezed together in the middle. My brother-in-law sleeps in the living room every night. They put two bed boards on top of each other and put them together to form a bed, which can be put away in the morning.

Zhao Qian also felt that life in Cui'e's family was quite difficult, but before she got married to Luo Cheng, even though her father was an accountant in the town, he only shared two houses together, and the same was true for the kitchen. Built it myself. But just like that, her parents also lived in a place where there wasn't much space for a bed.

Even if she is ten years old, she will sleep with her brother before they get married. She was more than eleven years old when she stopped sleeping with her brother and slept with her parents. But later I felt that this was not a problem, so I got some wooden boards and gave her a small separate room.

This is why her second brother still eats together even if their families are separated. The house is together and there is only one kitchen. If we don't eat together, we have to build another kitchen. But her family is in the town and they have already built a kitchen in the free space. So what if her father is an accountant? , the land built on the neighbor's house will be dismantled directly for you.

Of course, rural land is more convenient. If her family wants to build a house if they have money, they can just get any land. Anyway, her family doesn’t qualify for the extra house allocation. There are many poor people in rural areas. The whole family sleeps on a big bed, and the children have no clothes or anything to wear. It's summer now, and many children are playing around without any clothes on. It's not that they don't have any clothes on, but they have no clothes to wear.

In terms of housing, Zhao Qian could see that Cui'e's family was indeed very difficult, but the family conditions were actually not difficult. At least two people in the family were employed.

Today, Zhao Qian has to wait for Luo Cheng to come back. Luo Cheng is not here. One piece of cabbage weighs several kilograms and can last her for several days. The same goes for a plate of roasted potatoes. There was no whole grains at home. Although there was a lot of rice and noodles at home, she boiled them thinly and ate them.

I don’t work at home and just clean the house every day. I think it’s a bit luxurious to cook rice and noodles. Seeing so many children playing in the yard, she wanted to have a baby with Luo Cheng quickly, so that she could take care of the baby at home every day, have a man and a baby, eat and drink, and live a really good life.

My man likes to eat rice, so he must have cooked it today. Sitting in front of the door, watching the children playing with the rabbits in the yard, I occasionally glanced at the intersection where the alley leads into the yard. The sun was so high that Zhao Qian didn't even see Luo Cheng.

"Auntie, I saw my uncle in the alley. He was carrying two big baskets and playing with the big tiger chicken with lard dregs. Auntie, I also want to eat lard dregs. Can I have one for me? ."

While Zhao Qian was still sitting at the door waiting for someone, a child who had just pulled some grass from outside ran over and said in front of her. In the eyes of the child, the new aunt in the yard is very nice. Last time she ate the melon, she even cut a piece for him.

After hearing the child in the yard telling her this, Zhao Qian immediately stood up. I walked towards the entrance of the alley and saw my man squatting and playing with many children in the alley. The children in the alley were not only the children in the yard, but also the children of the residents nearby.

Luo Cheng didn't just play with the lard dregs by playing with others, he had to play lard dregs with him if he wanted to eat them. He just likes to watch these children being played until they can't stand it, and then he actively plays it for them in a fun way.

As for the girls nearby, there was no chicken~~chicken, and no lard residue to eat.

Luo Cheng was in the mood to play with the children when he suddenly saw his wife Zhao Qian walking towards him. He was about to play with a child again and was embarrassed.

"No more playing. Uncle is going home. I will play again next time when one of you is older."

Luo Cheng stood up and chased the children away, thus ending the game. Luo Cheng also gave one to each of the girls next to him.

"You, why are you playing this with a child? You broke the kid's ball, and you're not afraid of the adults getting into trouble."

"Don't take the basket, just take this jar back. It contains lard and put it in the kitchen. It's nothing for children to play with. You don't understand. Those who have played with it will grow bigger in the future. When they grow up, they will marry My wife will still be grateful to me."

Hearing this, Zhao Qian couldn't help laughing, but she had never seen other men, but she also felt that Luo Cheng was older. If her man is smaller than others, she can feel free to do it. But if it's a big one, did Luo Cheng also get played when he was a child?

When she heard that the jar contained lard, which was not heavy at several dozen kilograms, Zhao Qian carefully held it and walked home with Luo Cheng.

"Luo Cheng, why did you bring so many things back this time? They were brought to the factory."

"You don't have to worry about some things. Many of them are taken care of by your colleagues."

"Oh, I don't care, I just asked."

"Just ask, I'll take care of it. Let's see how I deal with you tonight."

"Oh, I won't ask again."

Ask less about men's affairs, and if they want to talk to you, they will take the initiative to say it. However, Zhao Qian just replied that she would not ask anymore questions, and did not ask Luo Cheng not to clean up her, because she understood what Luo Cheng meant by cleaning up.

"Luo Cheng, would you like rice or noodles for lunch?"

"Let's talk inside."

"oh."

Luo Cheng brought everything back from the station alone, so he was really tired. The things weren't heavy. All the things together, including the four rabbits, weighed about a hundred pounds. But it doesn’t look good. I carry it on my back, carry it, and hug it.

Because it’s hard to carry, it’s more tiring to carry something that weighs more than 100 kilograms home than to carry something that weighs 200 kilograms.

When I get home, I naturally put everything in the kitchen first.

Luo Cheng took the mushrooms out of the basket first. This thing can last for several days after being picked, but there is a lot to pick. You have to eat quickly. If Zhao Qian feels that she has a good relationship with someone in the yard, it’s okay to give some as a gift. Luo Cheng planned to give some to some people in the unit, but it was difficult to calculate the money for this thing.

Pulling the egg steak aside, Luo Cheng turned out a piece of pork belly.

"Do you know how to cook braised pork? I want to eat braised pork for lunch and fry a mushroom in lard."

"I know a little bit, but I don't know if I can do well."

Braised pork is not something that many people can afford during the Chinese New Year. When I say I can eat meat during the New Year, I don’t mean braised pork. Zhao Qian has seen others do it, but she has never done it herself. After all, she is only seventeen years old, so there is no chance for her to do this.
