Chapter sixteen, the daily life
When Su Cheng went home with the supporting documents, he found that the door was locked. He searched in the yard but could not see the old lady.
Su Cheng was not anxious. I thought it was because the old lady was idle at home and went out for a walk, but the old lady was inconvenient to her legs and feet.
Whether at home or outside, you need someone to take care of yourself.
Thinking of this, Su Cheng inevitably felt a little anxious to get married soon.
Su Cheng smiled and felt that he was crazy again. Now he would like to see how to open the door.
While it was still early, put the certificates issued from the street office and put them in the house and then let them free them.
Then I went to the nearby supply and marketing cooperatives and vegetable markets to buy some rice and white flour. I was able to make lunch every time.
Su Cheng thought that the old lady must have brought a key with her, but there must be a spare key left nearby.
This is also a routine operation from others in the past. If the door is locked at home, you will always leave a spare key in the dark.
To prevent people who have no keys at home from coming back and not even going into the door.
Su Cheng looked at the memories of his childhood and groped in the gap in the window next to the door for a while.
Hey, he really found a key.
I opened the door neatly and put the materials into my bag.
Then he took out something wrapped in red oil paper in the dark compartment in the bag.
What is pretending to be Su Cheng’s current wealth is.
He has been on the black soil for so many years, and in addition to sending some back to the old lady, he has also saved a lot of them.
In recent years, he was an educated youth who went to the black soil to clear the land, and the country would also give you a salary.
Just an ordinary educated youth can receive about twenty yuan a month.
What's more, later he became a technical expert in the Construction Corps, and his monthly salary was more than 70.
In addition to expenses, there is also a thousand yuan in total. Of course, there are some food coupons, meat coupons and so on that nationwide.
I took some money to go out, but I didn't expect to meet Lou Xiao'e who was drying clothes in the yard.
What does Lou Xiao'e look like?
Su Cheng didn't pay much attention when the meeting in the yard last night.
After that, he drank at Xu Damao's house. Su Cheng went a little late, so Lou Xiao'e went to bed first, but she didn't see her.
The light is good during the day now, so I can see it clearly.
I won’t talk about my figure anymore. Anyway, I’ve dressed very conservatively these days and can’t tell too much, so I can only say that it’s not small.
Of course, if you compare Qin Huairu, then just pretend I didn't say it.
Actually, she looks good, big eyes, apple face, dimples, shoulder-length short hair,
When Lou Xiao'e was a girl, her face should be very sweet when she smiled.
But now they are all women, and they can't see that kind of innocence.
You can vaguely feel the intellectual beauty of the lady from a noble family.
Brother and sister-in-law? Xu Damao’s wife?
This is a weird name, and Su Cheng can't say it.
But there was nothing to worry about. Just skip the name and say hello directly. So Su Cheng waved,
"Where are you drying clothes?"
Lou Xiao'e was taking out the washed clothes from the wooden basin and hanging them on the clothes drying rack. Suddenly, someone was talking.
When I looked up, I saw that it was Su Cheng, so I recognized him and said,
"Yes, the clothes at home have been piled up for a few days, and it just so clear today. Take them out and wash them up quickly."
Then he looked at Su Cheng's dusty look and said,
"Brother Su Cheng, are you just coming back from outside?"
"Well, I just went to the street office."
Su Cheng explained and then asked,
"I just came back. I don't know where the old lady in my family has gone. I haven't seen her. Have you seen her?"
Lou Xiao'e wrung the clothes on her hands and then said,
"No, I saw that your house locked the door before, and I thought you were taking the old lady where you went."
After a few more greetings, Su Cheng left the Siheyuan.
...
Sijiucheng, Chaoyang Vegetable Market.
It was already noon, and there was no need to queue up for buying groceries, because when you had to queue up, it was early in the morning.
At that time, pork and vegetables were the freshest, and it was in short supply.
It's late, even if you have a ticket in your hand, there's nothing to sell you.
Or the things are too expensive and they don’t think they are cost-effective.
For example, the meat stall where Su Cheng is standing now has all the fat meat.
All the rest are some lean pork ribs,
Don’t think that’s not right, isn’t lean meat fragrant?
But you have to know that people are not in their stomachs these days.
Fat meat is the most popular.
Buy a piece of fat meat and use it to make oil, and then the oil residue can be stir-fried.
What's the use of buying lean pork ribs?
It's gone after eating, and it's almost as expensive as fat meat, so it's not worth it.
But these are not too entangled for Su Cheng.
Perhaps influenced by later thinking, I felt that lean meat was also made, so I could stew some soup for the old lady.
He said to the uncle on the stall,
"Uncle, let's have a pound of flower."
The uncle in the pork stall had a slag-shaped beard, and he looked a bit unkempt. He was wearing an apron and holding a pig-killing knife.
He was slightly stunned when he heard Su Cheng's words, thinking he had heard it wrong, and said uncertainly,
"The flower is 80 cents per pound, and you still have to have meat tickets. Are you sure you want one pound?"
It’s not how much Su Cheng bought it, but that this pound is not fat.
Su Cheng handed over the money ticket and gestured to the piece of meat in front of the stall.
"Uncle, cut the piece next to me."
After buying the meat, Su Cheng walked around the vegetable stall again. He didn't see a few vegetables, and thought that they were all snatched by people who poured in early morning.
After all, everyone has a limited amount of groceries and meat every day. For example, the meat stall just now, everyone's limited amount is actually one pound.
Even if Su Cheng wanted to buy more just now, he would not sell you.
After visiting the vegetable market, Su Cheng bought ten kilograms of white flour, five kilograms of rice, and two kilograms of eggs from a nearby supply and marketing cooperative.
Similarly, due to the limited quantity problem, Su Cheng can only buy so many.
When Su Cheng carried the things back to Siheyuan, it was already noon and he happened to meet someone working in a nearby factory.
Workers were wearing uniforms and always carried one or two lunch boxes in their hands, and all the food they had been picked up from the factory canteen.
Of course, the food in the cafeteria is not expensive, but the food in the factory is more oily and water-filled, unlike the usual cooking at home.
It feels so distressing if you put a little more oil.
Many workers were reluctant to eat in the factory alone, so they simply brought the food back and ate it with their families with steamed buns, so that everyone could get some meat.
Just now, Su Cheng had just stepped into the courtyard, and Qin Huairu, who had returned from work, also entered the house with two lunch boxes.
Let me explain here that this lunch box is not Sha Zhu's, but Qin Huairu used vegetable tickets from the factory. As for Sha Zhu's lunch box, it was going to be in the evening.
However, Qin Huairu usually only dared to make two spoonfuls of vegetables in her lunch box. As for the meat dishes, she couldn't afford it, but today the lunch box was extremely rich.
One box filled with meat dishes, and the other box was filled with white flour steamed buns squeezed together.
But the atmosphere in the room was not very good. Jia Zhang saw meat dishes rarely without moving. He looked at Qin Huairu with a stern face and said nothing.
Qin Huairu sat next to her, with a grievance on her face, and a fog rose in her eyes. Xiaodang Lotus next to her only dared to scoop the steamed buns in small mouthfuls. As for the steamed buns and meat on the table, she didn't dare to pick them up.
On the contrary, the stingy stalk that is about to be sensible is the white steamed bun, eating meat dishes, and enjoying it. After watching Jia Zhang, she said with a slight slight sensation in her mouth.
"Grandma, why don't you eat?"
Jia Zhang said coldly with a dark face,
"Grandma thinks it's dirty!"
