Although salt is not expensive, salt stamps are rationed by population every month. Once they are all eaten, they are gone, and you cannot buy them even if you have money.
On the night when Su Jianmin picked up the fox, no one was willing to give more salt, so they basically just brought a handful of salt to Su's house.
Everyone knew in their hearts that the salt was worthless. Now when they saw someone getting two sticks of dried meat, everyone said they wanted to get dried meat instead of salt.
When the person who borrowed the salt took the meat away, three-quarters of the dried meat was left in the bag.
Bai Lu deliberately did not let anyone see how much meat was left, and placed the bag out of sight of outsiders.
Zhao Hongxia was the last one to receive it. Before she left, she kept looking behind Bai Lu, wondering how much of the more than ten kilograms of dried meat was left.
"Xiao Zhao, I was angry just now and had some arguments with you. I hope you won't be angry with your sister-in-law..."
While talking, Bai Luduo stuffed five sticks of dried fox meat into Zhao Hongxia's hand, "Let this matter be over for today, do you think that's okay?"
Zhao Hongxia originally planned to encourage everyone to come to Su's house to cause trouble after returning home.
Now that she had received five more dried meat sticks, and Bai Lu took the initiative to apologize to her, which gave her enough face, she couldn't help but smile.
"Sister-in-law Su, there are always quarrels and quarrels between parents and brothers, not to mention our neighbors. We don't see each other every day, and it's normal to have misunderstandings occasionally."
The two of them exchanged a few more polite words. Zhao Hongxia hid the seven dried meat sticks in her hands and went out quickly to go home.
Because there were five more dried meats than other stores, she felt secretly happy and had a smile on her face.
Not willing to eat more, she only tore apart a tiny bit of shredded meat and took a small bite.
The meat is salty and fragrant when chewed, and your mouth is filled with the aroma of meat. It is so delicious!
Ouch! This fox meat is so delicious!
Zhao Hongxia was enjoying the deliciousness of dried meat when there was a sudden knock on her door.
She hurriedly put the dried meat back into the box and sealed it, then wiped her mouth. She opened the door and saw Li Qinghua standing alone outside.
"Qinghua?" Zhao Hongxia was confused, "What's going on?"
"Sister Hongxia, don't you think this is too cheap for the Su family? Then Bai Lu wants to get rid of you with two sticks of dried meat. This is too..."
Before Li Qinghua could finish her words, she was interrupted by Zhao Hongxia: "Sister-in-law Su is quite nice. We went to her house to yell, and she even gave us dried meat."
"Ah?" Li Qinghua was stunned.
She thought that Zhao Hongxia would definitely not be satisfied with these two dried meats. As long as she fanned the flames, she would immediately bring people to the Su family to cause trouble...
"Qinghua, it's not what I said to you. You didn't produce any salt that night. Now that you haven't received the dried meat, you want to trick me into trouble with Sister-in-law Su. You are really shameless."
Being called thick-skinned to her face, Li Qinghua couldn't help but blush, "Sister Hongxia, why do you say that? Haven't I complained for you? You guys have contributed salt and effort, so you only exchanged two pieces of dried meat...
"
At this time, a neighbor next door to Zhao Hongxia came out and said, "How much does salt cost? How much does meat cost? A handful of salt costs less than a penny. In exchange for two sticks of dried meat, I think it's worth it!"
"Yes, Sister-in-law Su originally said she would exchange them at the market price, but later she gave each person two sticks of dried meat."
"There are so many households in our building, and each family is given two sticks of dried meat. Counting, Comrade Xiaobai has given a total of more than 80 sticks of dried meat, which is not a small amount." said an older woman.
.
Zhao Hongxia secretly chuckled in her heart, she didn't just have two, she had seven...
She has short hands to take people and a soft mouth to eat people. She had to take the opportunity to say a few good words to Sister-in-law Su.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hongxia said: "We did something wrong today. We did go a bit too far."
"Yes! I was thinking about eating meat at that time, and my mind was so hot that I couldn't care about anything else."
"Master Su is also very enthusiastic. He took great care of my men in the past. Hey, it makes me want to go to the Su family to apologize."
"Little Jinbao is so cute, I really want to celebrate her first birthday, but that fox meat jerky is so delicious..."
Everyone was either upset or regretful, but no one was dissatisfied with the fact that they only got two pieces of dried meat.
The only person present who was dissatisfied was Li Qinghua. She received nothing and had no idea what fox meat tasted like.
"Mom, Mom, I want to eat meat. Oooh, other people's children eat dried meat, why don't I?"
The next day, hearing other children discuss the deliciousness of jerky, He Xiaoyan cried and made trouble with her mother, "I want to eat jerky, jerky..."
"What kind of jerky should we eat?" Li Qinghua pinched her daughter's arm, "If you continue to make trouble, don't eat dinner."
When she was teaching her daughter, Xu Damei passed by her and deliberately said: "The dried meat is so fragrant! It tastes much better than the pork!"
When He Xiaoyan heard this, she cried even harder, "Ooooooooooooo, jerky, I want to eat jerky too, mom..."
"Xu Damei, you..." Li Qinghua glared angrily at Xu Damei, who had already walked in front of her.
"Aunt Li, did you just call me?" Xu Damei turned around, "What's the matter?"
Thinking of the quarrel with Lin Yulan during this period, Li Qinghua's heart was filled with fire.
"Why are you so proud in front of my swallow?" She angrily took a step forward and mocked, "Before, your mother was kneeling in front of me to beg for food. What are you proud of now?"
Xu Damei's face turned red.
She retorted: "Who asked your family for food? What food does your family have?"
"Go and ask your mother, are you going to kneel down in front of me and ask me for some beans? Tsk!" Li Qinghua sneered, "How many days have passed? When I met Bai Lu and Yao Hua's mother, her tail was raised.
God, he started to feel proud, it really makes people laugh out loud."
Unexpectedly, my mother actually knelt down to help others in order to borrow some beans to satisfy her hunger...
Xu Damei's mind couldn't help but recall the situation when she was unconscious in the hospital.
She felt uncomfortable all over, and when she opened her eyes, she saw her mother sitting beside the hospital bed guarding her, looking tired and haggard.
When she saw her waking up, her mother cried and laughed, holding her hand tightly and saying, "My precious girl, you are finally awake."
My precious daughter? Xu Damei has heard from her mother since she was a child that she wanted to have another son, saying that her daughter is a loser and useless...
At first she felt very sad, but later she got used to it and it didn't matter anymore.
Her mother doesn't care about her daughter, so what?
She still doesn’t care about her mother!
If in the past, Xu Damei would have heard Li Qinghua laugh at her mother, most likely she would have said: "My mother kneels down to whomever she likes, what does it have to do with me? If you want to laugh, just laugh at her, don't mess with me."
But things are different now. When she heard her mother being laughed at, she was very angry.
Xu Damei was too lazy to talk nonsense to Li Qinghua. He rushed forward and grabbed her clothes and started wrestling with her. "I asked you to laugh at my mother. Let's laugh. Let's see how you continue to laugh..."
"ah--"
Li Qinghua's hair was torn to pieces and her neck hurt. It seemed that her skin had been scratched by Xu Damei's claws. She cried and shouted: "It's a murder, please help!"
"Oh, what's going on? Why are we fighting together so well?"
The neighbors gathered around, and several people stepped forward to stop them. Unexpectedly, they were pushed and fell to the ground instead of being able to pull them away.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..." He Xiaoyan cried loudly, "Don't hit my mother..."
Through the gap in the crowd, she vaguely saw Su Xiaosi approaching from a distance. She stood up and ran to him crying, "Xiaosi, my mother was beaten, please save my mother, wuwuwuwuwu...
…”
"Ah?" Su Xiaosi looked at the noisy crowd not far away, "Who beat your mother?"
"Sister Damei, wuwuwu," He Xiaoyan grabbed Su Xiaosi's arm, "My mother is going to be beaten to death by her."
Su Zhiyuan and Xiaosi had just returned from buying soy sauce from the supply and marketing cooperative. After hearing He Xiaoyan's words, they quickly walked into the crowd. Sure enough, they saw Li Qinghua and Xu Damei wrestling with each other. Their clothes were torn and their hair was messed up. They looked very embarrassed.
"Stop! Stop fighting!" Su Zhiyuan was very strong and could easily pull the two people away.
