Chapter 368 Good News

Ning Xiyue heard Aunt Xiaohong say:

"I was wondering why you called me in such a hurry and asked me to bring more money. It turns out there is such a good thing. Don't worry, I have enough money and will definitely buy more. By the way, does he limit the amount of meat one person can buy?"

The short-haired aunt replied in a low voice: "No, he said any amount is fine. This cow is big, weighing more than 1,500 kilograms. The meat at the employee welfare price is not limited to beef, but also pork, so there is no worry of not having enough to share."

"Okay, let's go after we eat. I'll go see how Xiaojun's meal is going. We have to eat as soon as possible and leave so as not to delay anything."

After Aunt Xiaohong finished speaking, she stood up and hurried towards the window.

Ning Xiyue and Ning Qingyuan both put away their distracted thoughts and focused on eating without revealing any flaws.

The topic at the next table ended here. The short-haired aunt took a cup of tea and drank it to moisten her throat, then looked at the food on the table of Ning Xiyue and her siblings.

Seeing the two siblings eating four dishes, three meat dishes and one vegetable dish, I immediately looked up to them. I thought to myself that these two siblings came from a pretty good family. The clothes they wore were made of good materials, they ate well, and their temperament and conversation were extraordinary. They must be from an upper-class family in the county town. That was incredible.

Ning Xiyue had no idea what her aunts were thinking. She was thinking about how to talk to her two aunts so that they would take her and her brother to the meat processing factory to buy some beef and bones.

She had no shortage of pork, but she did have a shortage of beef. In that era, buying beef was a rare thing, and it was even more impossible to buy beef at the market in town.

She really hadn't eaten beef for a long time.

Since she had the opportunity to buy beef today, she couldn't miss it and had to think of a way.

By the time Ning Xiyue and her brother and sister had almost finished their meal, the aunt's son at the next table hadn't brought the food yet.

Ning Qingyuan was cleaning up the leftover food on the plate. Ning Xiyue had already finished eating and was sitting at the table waiting. She gave her second brother a wink, and Ning Qingyuan, who had a tacit understanding with her, naturally understood.

Slow down your eating pace, drink some water, eat some vegetables, take a small bite of rice, chew each mouthful of food a few more times, be sure to chew slowly and thoroughly, and extend the time of eating.

Ning Xiyue was free, and the aunts next to her hadn't eaten yet, so they were sitting there chatting. Naturally, Ning Xiyue joined them and restarted the conversation with the two aunts.

The three of them had a nice and happy chat. Ning Xiyue also knew that the aunt with short hair was called Aunt Qiuya.

Aunt Qiuya asked Ning Xiyue with great interest:

"Girls, when you come to the city, what kind of New Year goods do you want to buy, and what places do you want to go shopping? Auntie can introduce them to you. I can tell you which places in our city have which stores, and which stores have what special New Year goods. It's clear, and it's not an exaggeration to say that I know everything about Song City."

Hearing this, Ning Xiyue felt that the time had come. The prelude had been almost finished and the topic had been brought here, so she could start getting to the point.

"Thank you, Auntie. I'll ask you something. We just want to buy some meat today. Do you know which grocery store in our city is big and which one has the most complete and abundant meat supply?"

Ning Xiyue smiled shyly when she said this: "To be honest, my brother and I just want to buy more meat to take back home. Pork, chicken, beef or other meats are all fine. It doesn't matter which kind of meat we come to the city to buy New Year's goods. We think that the city has more supplies, so we can buy more good things to have a good and abundant New Year, and also have something to bring out to entertain relatives and friends."

Ning Xiyue patted the back of her hand with one hand and said in annoyance:

"My brother and I came to the city excitedly, patting our chests and promising in front of our friends, but we forgot that it was our first time here. When we arrived, we were completely in the dark. We had no idea about the environment here, and we didn't know where to start. So, after shopping for a whole morning, my brother and I bought a lot of books and took them back. It was really troublesome."

When Aunt Qiuya heard this, she was stunned for a second. Aunt Xiaohong glanced at Aunt Qiuya without saying anything, and remembered the topic they had just talked about.

If you want to talk about meat, you still have to go to the meat processing plant. Right now, many grocery stores outside are out of meat.

She picked up the cup of water on the table and took a sip of water. However, this news was told to her by Qiuya, so she couldn't just say it out loud.

Aunt Qiuya had also thought of this, but she didn't feel that their conversation was overheard. They spoke quietly enough and in dialect at a fast enough speed, and they were very confident that the other party was sitting at a distance and could not hear them.

Aunt Qiu Ya was thinking about whether to say it or not. After thinking about it, she thought about the outfits of the two siblings opposite her and the special military-style water bottle for drinking water. She had a definite answer in her mind. After looking around, she leaned over to Ning Xiyue's ear and whispered:

"Girl, since we get along so well, I'll give you a heads up. We're going to buy meat today, and we have plenty. If you don't mind, you can follow us. I guarantee you'll come back with a full load, and your trip to the city won't be in vain."
