"I know, I remember, I will send the money to auntie later, thank you auntie. Uncle Li? Remember, it will also be later, a lot of money, thank you, thank you..."
She said words like this over and over again, with a sweet smile, enthusiasm and joy, and thanked her again and again.
Her attitude was so good that those who secretly whispered that if she didn't pay, they would come to move her things were embarrassed to mention it.
Mu An was extremely worried: "Sister, how can you have so much money to repay the debt? There is also the betrothal gift from the Zheng family. Although they are hateful, it is unpleasant to be criticized for always being in debt. How about we put these things away?"
Retired?"
Mu Yunhan was confident: "Don't be afraid, I know what to expect."
"Xiao Han, why didn't you call me for the heavy work?" Zhao Huzi ran over with a pair of empty buckets, handed the buckets to her, and reached out to pick up the wheelbarrow: "I'll do it, I'll do it."
Mu Yunhan was not polite to him either: "Thank you, Brother Huzi."
She handed the empty bucket to Mu An: "Take it back, I have to buy some things."
Zhao Huzi was dumbfounded: "Aren't you going home?"
He just wanted to walk a few steps with her and talk, but she didn't come home.
Mu Yunhan had no time to speculate on his thoughts: "I'm leaving."
She first went to buy two packages of mung bean cakes, and then went to the butcher shop.
The butcher shops in the town do not sell fresh meat at all times. Everyone is poor, so fresh pork cannot be sold for a while, and it is not easy to preserve. It can only be obtained during the market on the second, sixth and ninth day of the lunar month.
The day after tomorrow was the market day on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. Butcher Zhang was about to go out to buy pigs. When he saw Mu Yunhan standing at the door, he asked: "Han girl, what do you want to do?"
Mu Yunhan said: "Uncle Zhang, I want to order twenty kilograms of fat meat, all cut into long strips weighing half a kilogram. Come and pick it up tomorrow morning. This is the deposit."
People in the town and people going to the market usually cut half a catty of meat, one or two catties at most, and buy twenty catties of meat at a time. These are big customers.
Life is difficult for everyone, and few people buy lean meat. They all like to buy fat meat, which is durable and delicious.
When cooking, rub it in the pot to make the dishes fragrant. Add a few drops of oil to the soup and the whole family will benefit from it.
Therefore, the first thing everyone needs to cut is the fat. If you don’t book early, you will be gone if you arrive later.
Butcher Zhang laughed: "Han girl, are you going to entertain guests?"
Mu Yunhan said softly: "No, I want to thank all my uncles and aunts. My brothers and sisters have treated our family so well. We borrowed so much money and no one bothered us. They are still willing to help us when we encounter problems."
As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper, read it carefully, and said, "Uncle Zhang, if I remember correctly, we borrowed two kilograms of meat and half a kilogram of oil from your family at the end of last year."
"No hurry, no hurry." Butcher Zhang couldn't read, but when he saw the densely written words on the piece of paper, he guessed: "These are all borrowed from your family...?"
Mu Yunhan smiled and said, "Yes, my mother remembers every debit and is afraid of forgetting and causing trouble to everyone."
"This is your family's meat money." She handed over two hundred cash, and then handed over half a catty of wine in a bamboo tube: "I'll serve Uncle Zhang tonight. Thank you very much, Uncle Zhang."
Butcher Zhang was extremely surprised. He was also thinking that if Mu Yunhan wanted to thank his creditors, each family would receive half a pound of fat meat, so would his family also give him the same gift of thanks?
Unexpectedly, Mu Yunhan had already prepared it, not meat, but wine, and it was half a catty. This wine is much more expensive than meat. (To be continued)
