Chapter 12 Sister-in-law with a small belly

Chapter 12 The little sister-in-law

Hearing what Yun Mo said, the driver chuckled and said: "Sister, if it had been two years earlier, you wouldn't have been able to buy anything without a ticket. Now that it has been opened, the control is not as strict as before. If you go to the vegetable market,

Talk to the vegetable vendor and they will find a solution for you."

"I understand, master, thank you."

"Why are you so polite?"

After chatting with the driver for a few words, we arrived at the entrance of Dafeng Department Store.

After paying and getting out of the car, Yun Mo stared at the door of the department store for a long time, unable to regain her composure.

If it weren't for the four characters "Dafeng Department Store" written in red letters on a white background above the main entrance, Yun Mo would never be able to associate the dilapidated house in front of her with the luxurious shopping mall of later generations.

Maybe it was because of the promotion, but there were a lot of customers, an endless stream, and it was as noisy and noisy as a wet market.

Yun Mo didn't want to be crowded with others, so she looked around and saw a clothing store diagonally opposite. She turned around decisively.

There were a lot of clothes in the clothing store, but the styles were either old-fashioned or the colors were gaudy. Yun Mo spent a long time choosing but didn't find anything she liked, so she randomly pointed at a printed dress.

"How much does this cost?"

"If you really want to buy it, I'll give you this number."

The boss made an eight sign and said, "I usually sell them for 10 yuan. Girl, you are good-looking and have a good figure. You will definitely look good in this skirt."

"I don't have a cloth ticket, can I use money?"

The landlady looked embarrassed and said, "It's OK, but the price is a bit more expensive."

"I'll give you 10 yuan."

"Okay! I'll wrap it up for you right now!"

Seeing the lady boss smiling from ear to ear, Yun Mo seriously suspected that her price was too high.

After paying the money, Yun Mo took the opportunity to ask the proprietress, "Sister, is there anyone selling water heaters around here?"

"Water heater? What is that?"

Yun Mo visited several small shops one after another and bought a lot of things, but no one knew what the water heater was. It wasn't until she explained that it was used for bathing that someone told her that she could go to the bathhouse to wash it.

This gave Yunmo inspiration. She couldn't buy a water heater, but she could build a private boiler modeled after the bathhouse.

After purchasing her own supplies, Yunmo put all her things into a space in a deserted place, and then took a taxi back to the old street while carrying vegetables.

It was hot at noon, so Li Li took her son Ling Jiale to cool off in the main room, while Ling Chunhua sat on a small horse and picked vegetable leaves.

Seeing Yun Mo coming back, Li Li raised her voice and asked, "Have you bought the vegetables?"

"Bought."

Yunmo put the dishes in her hands on the table.

Li Li stood up and took a look. When she found a piece of meat, a smile suddenly appeared on her face.

"It's a good buy. The cabbage looks fresh and juicy. It's so hot. Go and have a rest. I'll call you when the meal is ready."

"good."

Glancing at Ling Jiale who was sitting on the mat eating sweets, Yun Mo turned around and took out two pieces of candy from her handbag and handed them to Ling Chunhua.

"Spring flowers, here."

White Rabbit Milk Candy!

Ling Chunhua opened her eyes slightly, her small face full of surprise and disbelief.

She had seen Niu Niu across from her eat it before, and when she finished eating, there was a fragrant and strong sweetness in her mouth.

The candy that Ling Chunhua had just taken over was taken away by Li Li before it was warmed and put into her pocket, "Girls can eat any kind of candy and they are not afraid of rotten teeth. Hurry up and choose the dishes."

"oh."

Ling Chunhua lowered her head in despair and continued to choose vegetables.

Yun Mo glanced at Li Li, said nothing, turned around and went back to her room.

After closing the door, Yun Mo picked up the pottery bowl on the wooden table, drank some spiritual spring water from the space, and felt much more comfortable.

After resting for a while, Yun Mo placed the mirror, comb, washing powder, cream, etc. she bought on the window sill.

There are actually high-end skin care products brought from the 21st century in her space, but those things cannot be shown to others, so she bought them for decoration.

Lunch is brown rice, and there are two dishes, one is the leftovers from the morning, and the other is stir-fried sweet potato leaf tips.

Yun Mo managed to eat less than half a bowl of brown rice using the tips of the sweet potato leaves.

After getting up from a nap in the afternoon, Yun Mo went to Li Li to discuss installing a boiler at home.

"Brothers and sisters, I have no problem with you wanting to install a boiler, but I can't come up with the money. You don't know, your eldest brother only earns twenty or thirty yuan a month outside, and he has to support me and Jia Le's wife.

Very tight."

Yun Mo actually didn't want Li Li to pay, but Li Li's petty behavior really made Yun Mo feel unhappy.

"Sister-in-law, let me think about it again. The cost of building a boiler is not small, and I don't have much spare money on hand."

Li Li replied with a half-smile, "Okay, anyway, I'm used to not using a boiler. I'm not as delicate as you."

Yun Mo returned to her room sullenly.

She didn't eat much at noon, so she was already a little hungry.

Yun Mo locked the door, then took out biscuits and books from the space, lying on the bed and reading while passing the time.

When the sun was about to set in the evening, Yun Mo packed up and went out to find a bathhouse to take a bath.

There are quite a few bathhouses in this area of ​​the old street. There are two in the alley where Guang Yunmo lives, but the environment and facilities are very simple.

It was a wet bathroom, with four or five water faucets standing above the head, with no cover between them. There were seven or eight plum blossom holes for draining steam on the walls on both sides.

The wall itself is not high. A tall man like Lingchuan can peek inside through the Plum Blossom Cave by stepping on a stool.

Yun Mo took a shower in the bathhouse almost with fear, and at the same time she firmly decided to build her own bathroom.

When she got home, Ling Chunhua had already prepared dinner.

The staple food was noodles, and the vegetables were the same as those for lunch. The cabbage, tuxi and pork she bought were not fried, and the noodles were dark and she didn't know what they were made of. They tasted like beany.

Yun Mo couldn't eat any more after one bite and put down her chopsticks in frustration.

Seeing her like this, Li Li joked: "Hey, what's going on?"

"I'm not hungry, you can eat."

Li Li scolded her, "Brothers and sisters, this is the condition of our family. It's pretty good. At least we can have a hot dinner. The neighbors don't open the fire many nights, just eat a cold steamed bun."

One meal is just boiled water, and some even skip meals at night and only eat two meals a day.”

Yun Mo couldn't help but ask her doubts, "Sister-in-law, why didn't the meat and vegetables I bought for lunch be cooked? It's so hot, wouldn't it be a pity if they were left to spoil?"

"Don't worry, it won't go bad. I'll go out to find some ice later and freeze the meat. My family will be coming over in two days, so we'll fry it and eat it together."

Hearing this, Yun Mo didn't say anything anymore, and waited until Li Li finished her meal before calling her out.

"Sister-in-law, the pork I bought for lunch today cost 2 yuan, potatoes 8 cents, and cabbage 7 cents. The total is 3.5 yuan. Do you think you should keep the account or should I keep it myself?"

Li Li's eyes suddenly widened, "Brother and sister, are you trying to trick me? The price of meat today is 1 yuan, and the piece you bought is only a pound at most. How did you calculate 2 yuan?"

There are also potatoes and cabbage, which are sold outside for 1.5 cents a catty. What you bought adds up to 5 catties more, so why is it only 1.5 cents? Although I don’t read as much as you, I can still calculate the accounts."
