Chapter 204: Treat others in their own way

Shen Qing was also doing a lot of shopping.

But not in a shop, but in a mall.

The rice that costs two yuan per pound is crystal white, just like the best rice in the rice shop. I bought three hundred pounds!

The flour is very fine and costs one yuan and eighty cents per pound. There is not a trace of bran. I bought four hundred pounds!

Although soybeans and mung beans are more expensive than rice and flour, they can sprout in winter and are rare fresh vegetables. Buy a few pounds and make up for it before going home;

Red beans can be used to make sticky rice dumplings, same as above.

In order, there are corn, peas, millet, peanuts, peas, red dates... She buys the varieties first, and then when she returns to the village and separates from the Lei family, she directly buys dozens or hundreds of kilograms of each.

After buying food, Shen Qing drove to the agreed location, thinking about the food reserves for the winter.

After getting home tonight, adding what she had stockpiled in previous times and what she secretly added, there would be about 800 kilograms of rice, 1,200 kilograms of white flour, about 400 to 500 kilograms of corn, about 400 to 500 kilograms of beans, 300 kilograms of millet, and more than 100 kilograms of peanuts and red dates.

The total amount of staple food, including refined grains, miscellaneous grains and coarse grains, is more than 3,000 kilograms. Even if she doesn't add anything, it is enough for the whole family to eat for a whole year. Besides, how could she not add anything?

She bought as many varieties as possible so that she could secretly add something at any time - she couldn't create something out of nothing, but it was normal to take out some of what was already there.

She had fabric in stock and didn't need to buy more, but she needed cotton, so she asked Liu Cuihua to go to the cloth shop to buy some. October was still about a month away, so she had to make cotton clothes and bedding before winter came.

Lei Laosan was asked to buy the meat. It can be kept for a few days in the current weather, but if you want to keep it for a long time, you have to wait until winter. At that time, the outside is a natural refrigerator, a refrigerator with a freezer layer.

No need to worry about the meat going bad.

These are for my family and helpers to eat during this period. I will buy a large batch of pork in October before winter and store it for later consumption.

We also have chickens, ducks, geese, and sheep, and if we buy some game from the Lei family, we will have enough meat to eat during the winter.

The vegetable seeds have been sown, the garlic seeds and leek roots have also been buried, plus dried wild vegetables and bean sprouts... there should be no problem with vegetables in winter.

Then there are fruits. She wants to eat a juicy fruit in a warm house during the cold winter!

I'll ask later where the pear trees are on Cuihua Mountain...

“Oh, so you also came into the city today;

I heard the Lei family coming down the mountain before daybreak. Aren't they on good terms with the people in your village? Why didn't you take them with you when you went to the city?"

The contemptuous voice coming from the front interrupted Shen Qing's thoughts. She looked up and saw Mrs. Cao sitting in the carriage, lifting the curtain and speaking to her.

Shen Qing: .....The disadvantage of the city being too small is that there is only one road leading to the rice shop, so it is hard not to run into it.

Seeing that Shen Qing didn't say anything, Cao Qingzhu on the other side of the carriage laughed and said, "Grandma, for farmers like them, how can humans be as valuable as large animals? The Lei family is large and strong, so it's understandable that she feels sorry for the animals."

Shen Qing understood.

This is a mockery that in their eyes the Lei family is not as important as animals.

"The Lei family worked hard to make bricks and chop wood, and even spent money to buy chains. I thought I could get a little bit of money, but in the end I couldn't even get a ride on a donkey cart. It's really ridiculous."

"Grandson, tell me, Jincheng is so small. It would be so embarrassing if we ran into him later~"

"Shen Qing, Shen Qing! Here!" Liu Cuihua's heroic voice was particularly clear.

Then came Lei Daming's shout: "Auntie, we are here!"

The mountains were empty and they relied on shouting to drive people up the mountain. Now that they had come to the city, they couldn't change their behavior all of a sudden. Seeing everyone looking at them, the two groups scratched their heads and drove their donkey carts towards Shen Qing in embarrassment.

When Mrs. Cao Cao Qingzhu first heard Liu Cuihua and Lei Daman shouting, her face lit up with joy, but when she stuck her head out, she saw the two of them on donkey carts, and the Lei family had set up five donkey carts!

His face suddenly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

Their family only had three donkeys, but they were very precious. The Lei family always looked at them with envy, and only occasionally brought them some small items.

They were originally worried that the Lei family would ask them to borrow their donkey, but fortunately, the Lei family was self-conscious and never asked to borrow their donkey in the past few years.

But now the Lei family directly set up five donkey carts!

Where did the Lei family get the donkey? It could only have belonged to the disaster victims down there.

The victims bought five donkey carts that they were reluctant to even carry large items with them!

Cao Qingzhu felt his face burning. He had just mocked the Lei family for not even being able to ride, but not only did they get a ride, but they even provided five separate cars for his family to use, which was more than the total number of cars in his family...

Shen Qing curled up the corners of his mouth into a smile, and looked at the two people from the Cao family with obvious ridicule.

She is narrow-minded and not generous, and she likes to see others suffer!

Liu Cuihua came over and saw the expressions of both parties. Combined with her previous understanding of Mrs. Cao, she knew what had happened without having to guess.

When Lei Erfu saw Mrs. Cao, he recalled the time when he and his elder brother went to the city to sell game. They didn't have a donkey, so they had to rely on the two of them to pull a cart. They set out in the middle of the night. The mountain road was difficult to walk on, and it was already past noon when they arrived in the city.

The two men did not dare to delay. They took a few bites of the hard cornmeal steamed buns, drank some cold water, and prepared to go to the leather shop. They happened to run into the donkey cart of the Cao family.

He was so excited when he ran into an acquaintance from the mountains while in the city that he went up to greet her. But Mrs. Cao lifted the carriage curtain and said condescendingly, "Oh, you just arrived in the city! We've already bought some things and are heading back. Next time, you better leave early, otherwise the mountain roads will be even harder to navigate at night."

It was as if a basin of ice water was poured over his head, and he felt cold from head to toe!

He turned around and saw his elder brother's expression was cold. He finally understood why his elder brother was not excited when he saw the Lei family's vehicle. From then on, even if he saw the Lei family on the mountain road, he pretended not to see them!

But after that, I always felt like I had a lot of anger stuck in my heart that I couldn't let go.

Today, he looked at Mrs. Cao and said in a cold voice, "Oh, you just arrived in the city. We have already bought the things and are going back. Next time, you have to go earlier, otherwise the mountain road will be more difficult to travel at night."

The Lei family was particularly familiar with these words and burst out laughing when they heard them.

Liu Cuihua originally wanted to tell her second son that he was not kind and shouldn't speak to his elders like that, but in the end she restrained herself from scolding her son. It was Mrs. Cao who first suggested that her son go over and greet them enthusiastically, so now he should just go back.

The wrinkled face of Mrs. Cao was no longer ugly. She looked at Lei Erfu with her lowered eyes almost shooting out ice knives, wishing she could skin Lei Erfu alive.

Lei Erfu asked back with a confused look on his face: "Hey, I care about you guys, why don't you want to listen?"
