As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard the cry of my son Xiao Ranran.
Cheng Tianyuan instinctively accelerated his pace and pushed open the door and entered his parents' suite opposite.
I saw Mama Xue holding Xiao Ranran and coaxing her, comforting her, "Don't cry or cry! The weather is cold and the wind is strong in the evening, so we won't go out today. You can't go out by yourself, it's too unsafe."
Xiao Ranran shed tears and cried.
Dad Xue, Uncle San, and Cheng Muhai were all sitting in the living room, looking at the animal world, and they all watched it very engrossed and their voices were very loud.
When Xiao Ranran saw his father, he quickly opened his arms to him.
Cheng Tianyuan smiled and walked up to him and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you crying? Are you disobedient? Mom, I'll do it. Don't hold him for too long, otherwise your hands will be sore."
Xue's mother smiled helplessly: "I originally promised him that she would take him to the riverside to play with stones in the evening, but somehow, the wind just started to blow outside, and it seemed to be getting colder. Look, there are more and more black clouds in the sky.
Maybe there will be rain in a while. In such weather, how dare you take him to the riverside?"
"That's definitely not possible." Cheng Tianyuan looked at the little guy with a angrily look and said, "It's very dangerous to go to the riverside with the wind. The wind is whirring, and the north wind is very cold, and the face will hurt and the hands will hurt. Also,
If it rains, it will easily slip. If you listen to grandma, if you don’t obey, your father and mother will get angry.”
Xiao Ranran had already started to have his own little idea and muttered: "I want to go."
"No." Cheng Tianyuan said in a deep voice: "It's not that you can go just by wanting to go. Don't be fooled, let alone cry."
Xiao Ranran felt that his father was angry and said in a low voice: "I want to go out... I haven't gone out yet..."
Cheng Tianyuan thought for a while, looked at the three old people who were fans of TV and laughed unconsciously.
The old man who just installed the TV antenna and hadn't seen the TV for several days suddenly became fascinated again.
Cheng Tianyuan rubbed his head and said, "Dad takes you to wipe your tears, wear an extra coat, and then Dad takes you out."
"Where are you going?" Xiao Ranran became excited and asked in surprise: "Do you play with stones?"
"No." Cheng Tianyuan lowered his voice: "We go to the city market to buy meat, and come back for grandpa and the others to eat."
At first, Xiao Ranran felt a little disappointed when she didn't play with Xiao Shitou. However, thinking that she could still go out and take a bus, she agreed immediately.
At this time, Liu Ying hugged Xiao Yangyang out, holding a wet diaper in her hand.
"Ayuan, are you back?"
Cheng Tianyuan nodded and said, "Mom, Xiaoranran and I go out to buy some meat to eat."
Liu Ying asked in confusion: "Have you bought some beef in the morning? Why are you still buying it? Can you finish eating?"
Cheng Tianyuan smiled and explained: "The meat is left for tomorrow to be made into braised meat. Mom, go to the kitchen to boil bone soup, wash two dishes, add some white radish and cabbage. The weather is cold, I will buy some fresh meat, and at night
Let's have hot pot."
"Hotpot?" Liu Ying was very happy to hear it and said, "The weather is cold, and as soon as the food is served, it will soon become cold. I feel it is not delicious when I eat it. OK, go buy hotpot meat."
Cheng Tianyuan took him downstairs, carried him into the car, and then put him behind him.
"You can't climb around, just look at the scenery outside the window."
Xiao Ranran was so excited that she could go out to play. She stood by the car window and looked at the street view outside the window, and was very happy.
Cheng Tianyuan drove the car very slowly and explained: "When I go to the market at this time, there must be no one. But my father knows a small shop, a shop that specializes in beef. Their business is very good, and occasionally sells half a cow a day.
There is a way to sell fresh beef, meatballs, and some dry beef.”
Xiao Ranran didn't understand a lot and asked: "Dried beef?"
"Yes." Cheng Tianyuan explained: "The beef in that store is a little cheaper than the market, but it is already attractive enough. In addition, his meat is very good at selling. When the fresh meat comes, I pick out the good ones and sell them.
.The harder meat is cut into small pieces and chopped into meat sauce to make beef balls. Some of the beef bones are made into soup, and some are dried and sold to some noodle shops. If the fresh meat is not sold, some are made into beef balls.
Some of them are cooked and dried to dry, and made into jerky. The jerky is very hard and tastes very fragrant when chewed, but it is very difficult. You must not be able to bite it."
Xiao Ranran laughed and said, "I can! I can!"
Cheng Tianyuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you sure? Dad told you this, mainly to tell you a truth. People have a good business style, so the business is very good."
Xiao Ranran was not interested in listening to any business practices at all, so she turned her head and looked at the others.
Cheng Tianyuan continued while driving: "By the way, this shop was discovered by your mother. It was near the newspaper where she used to work, and it was also very close to the store in our house."
"Oh!" Xiao Ranran exclaimed: "Dad! Big cart! Big cart!"
Cheng Tianyuan glanced at it and saw that it was an oriental truck, and turned to laugh.
"Xiao Ranran, look at what color is that car?"
"Blue." The little guy answered.
Cheng Tianyuan nodded, made a turn, and soon arrived at the newspaper door.
Today is not a weekend, and the newspapers are crowded with people and the lights are bright.
Cheng Tianyuan glanced at it and turned around to buy beef.
Thinking of the several elderly people at home, Cheng Tianyuan bought some soft meat and the most expensive piece of snowflake meat.
"Boss, do you have time? Please help me cut it. Your knife is good and can cut pieces. My knife is dull and it is too thick."
The boss smiled and said, "Anyway, there are no customers, so I'll cut it for you."
Cheng Tianyuan looked around and saw some bright red meatballs on the table. He couldn't help asking: "Did you make these? Haven't cooked them yet?"
"Not yet." The boss explained: "I had a lot of customers earlier, so I didn't have time to cook it. Actually, after the beef balls were cooked, the soup was very delicious."
Cheng Tianyuan thought about it and bought twenty pieces.
Seeing that he bought more, the boss worked harder to cut it.
Xiao Ranran was very curious, looking at this and that, chatting and asking non-stop.
Cheng Tianyuan picked him up so that he could see more things, and then answered patiently.
The boss looked at Xiao Ranran as cute and teased him a few words.
When Cheng Tianyuan saw a large plate of beef jerky drying in the corner outside the store, he hurriedly took his son to see it.
At this time, a sloppy fat woman walked into the store and asked, "Boss, do you have any old cow bones to sell?"
"Yes, old ribs, the best!" The boss took a large piece, threw it at the counter, and said, "Just one cent, no bargaining."
The fat woman muttered a few times dissatisfied, threw a piece of hair and walked back with a large row of steak bones.
Cheng Tianyuan squinted his eyes and couldn't help frowning: "Boss, does this woman live near here?"
"It's not far away, right next to the old house behind." The boss pouted disdainfully and said, "The house is ugly and lazy, and life is not easy. But she loves to eat meat every day and can't afford it, so she can only do it every few days.
Come here to buy some bones to satisfy your cravings.”
Cheng Tianyuan lowered his eyes, but there was no connection.
Unexpectedly, Ouyang Mei was fat and sloppy. If he hadn't known her, he would have thought she was a fifty-year-old aunt.
Alas... some people can make their lives worse and worse.
