Chen Miao took the two of them to the livestock market, and met Zhao Xiaoyun on the way.
"When I saw someone selling cotton and cloth, I knew you would definitely buy it. I took it to the car with you."
"That's a good feeling, I'll buy some meat."
Zhao Xiaoyun rolled his eyes at Chen Miao and asked the two of them to leave.
"Sisters-in-law, what do you want to buy?"
"My mother-in-law asked me to find a salesman and ask him to go to our village and prepare a betrothal gift," Xiaodun's wife said.
"I just want to buy some salt, and my mother-in-law asked me to buy a kitchen knife."
"I didn't see anyone selling ironware just now."
"It's over there next to the livestock market."
"Then I'll buy some meat and we'll go there."
"No rush, no rush, just buy it slowly."
"I don't have anything to buy anymore, let's go."
The meat market here is quite busy, but there is a lot of lean meat on the stalls.
Chen Miao bought two ribs, a piece of pork belly, and a lot of bones from two stalls. She will drink more bone soup in the future.
The two of them were still carrying it, and she had nothing in her hands.
When they arrived at the blacksmith's stall, Chen Miao also bought two sickles. After loading everything into the car, the four of them drove back to the market again. Shen Jianchun drove to the other end of the market to wait for them.
Chen Miao didn't buy anything else this time, she just watched the excitement.
When we reached the end of the stroll, we saw the salesman and agreed to go to their village in the afternoon.
After getting in the car and walking back, Chen Miao was a little hungry. If there were no outsiders, she would have dragged Zhao Xiaoyun to eat meat pie. If she went back and made it herself, she would have it at night.
I got home and packed up, and started eating while lighting the fire. I was really hungry now, but I didn’t eat much even if I did eat. I will eat smaller meals more often in the future.
After making bone soup, I got on the kang and lay down for a while. It was actually quite tiring.
I feel that this pregnancy is more tiring than being pregnant with Yun Shan and Yun Xin. Actually, it shouldn't be the case. I was nervous at that time and I was careful about everything when I came here. Also, I was busy working at that time, so I probably wasn't in the mood to care whether I was tired or not.
After lying down for a while and getting up to stew some meat, I felt really hungry.
Xiaodun's wife was cooking and talking to her mother-in-law about Chen Miao.
"Xiao Feng's wife really dared to spend money. She bought thirty kilograms of meat and a lot of bones." After saying that, she swallowed. Who wouldn't want to eat meat?
"If you have money, just spend it? Did you tell her that our family killed pigs?"
"I told you, she said to come and take a look. When buying meat, I advised her to buy less. She is the only one who eats it. How long will she eat so much meat?"
Grandma Xiaodun also felt uncomfortable, but she didn't dare to say it yet, even at home.
"Mom, when the salesman comes over to Xiaofeng's house in the afternoon, he will definitely come out to watch the fun. I'll ask her again."
"Well, she can buy meat at this time, and the rest of the people can buy a pound, which is really good."
Daqiao's daughter-in-law also talked about Chen Miao. This was the first time she saw her spending money, "I really wanted to buy everything I saw. If the Jianchun family hadn't been talking to me, I would have bought more."
"Chen Miao is not short of money, of course he can eat well." Erqiao's daughter-in-law said disapprovingly.
"Yes, she has money. I heard that she paid for the cotton-padded clothes and shoes for the troops."
"Mom, where did she get so much money?"
"One time I heard Xiuyue say that the Xiaofeng family picked up the kid who happened to be transporting gold and silver. She also picked up the big truck. She said there were several boxes of gold and a lot of oceans."
"How much is that? How else would she dare to spend such money? How come she is so lucky that she can catch up with the little devils in transporting money?"
"He is quite lucky. So many people brought him back this time and said they saved the stolen children. God has a good eye for his good deeds."
In fact, everyone in the village has a kind of awe for Chen Miao. They have seen her kill little devils and know how powerful she is, so even when she came back pregnant this time, the talkative people said she was pregnant and did not say goodbye. Yes, mainly I still don’t dare.
If it were anyone else who tried this, rumors would have been flying all over the place.
Chen Miao stewed a pot of meat and saved it for later eating. She also sent some to Shen Wufu's family and her parents' family.
The kang is already very hot, so there is no need to watch the fire, the bottom fire is enough.
I was sleeping soundly when I heard a knock on the door. I went to open the door in a daze, "Are you still awake?"
"Really? I feel like I can't wake up. Come in, the meat is stewed, let's eat some first."
Zhao Xiaoyun would not be polite to Chen Miao on such a matter, so she actually served herself a bowl.
"I'm going to wash my face. After eating the meat, I still have bone soup to drink."
Zhao Xiaoyun was not polite. By the time Chen Miao came back from washing her face, she had already finished the bowl of meat.
"You can fill the pot yourself."
"That's enough, I've satisfied my appetite."
"When you chew the bones... they just don't taste salty."
"No, your stew is so delicious."
"Meat tastes delicious no matter who stews it." Chen Miao wiped her face and came back with a large bowl and started serving it.
"You bring it back so that my fifth aunt and the others can satisfy their cravings. We also bring back a basin of bone soup. Zikang drinks it best. I will give it to him often in the future. He will definitely become a big man in the future."
"Then I'm welcome."
"What did you say? Do you need to be polite?"
"Don't worry, the salesman is here, can you go and see him?"
"Okay, it's okay. I'll take the meat out of the pot and stew the vermicelli for a while. You can come over and order it too."
Take out two large bowls of meat, put the rest in a small bowl, cover it with a board, and then the two of you go out.
The seller was surrounded by women, and the children looked on and wanted to buy toys for their families.
The two of them were watching from the side. In fact, they had nothing to buy, they were just joining in the fun.
Xiaodun's wife looked at Chen Miao coming over, "What are you buying from Xiaofeng's family?"
"Sister-in-law, I don't know yet, let's see what's available."
"Auntie, I bought a lot."
"Isn't this a betrothal gift? This salesman brought quite a lot of things, but there is no red cloth."
Chen Miao didn't say anything. She would go buy cloth tomorrow and bring back some red cloth if she didn't.
Seeing that there was nothing he wanted, he said, "Sister-in-law, go to your house."
The two of them were about to leave when Xiaodun's wife stopped them, "Xiaofeng's family will kill a pig on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. Will I give you thirty kilograms of meat?"
"Sister-in-law, if you give me some meat, I'll take the ribs."
"Chong, leave you a rib."
The two walked back, "I just want to catch you and make you buy meat."
"It doesn't matter, they can all be frozen. If there are more, my fifth uncle will send them to Comrade Li and others. Chen Yi and others can also eat some."
"You are just soft-hearted."
"Sister-in-law, this is to help the emergency rather than the poor. They have just been rescued. It can be said that they don't know much about the outside world. Please help now and they will be fine after a while."
The meat and bone soup were put in baskets, and each person carried one on his shoulder.
Shen Wufu's family is making cotton hats. They made some last year, but they didn't feel right. This year they changed the look and they looked better.
"Fifth Aunt, we don't have enough cotton. The color of this cloth is similar to the guerrilla clothes. How about we find someone to make the coat?"
"It's from Xiaofeng's family. Comrade Li said the coat is enough."
