Wash, cut and dry the vegetables for one day, pickle them for two days, and rest for half a day.

Su Xia faced a row of jars in the warehouse, with her hands on her hips.

In order, pickled goose eggs, pickled chicken eggs, pickled beans and cucumbers, pickled onions, garlic and eggplant, and a jar of old-fashioned pickles containing kohlrabi, carrots and pumpkin. This was Su Xia's first attempt.

I hope it tastes good. Including the ones my husband took away in the past few days, I now have 7 watermelons and 14 cantaloupes left. I gave them away in the past two days, and my family and I ate the rest.

A basket of new potatoes, a basket of sweet potatoes, and 20 cobs of new corn. I cooked 20 of them and ate them yesterday.

Then the vegetables that 늀놆 eats are eggplant, beans, zucchini, pumpkin, peppers, onions, bok choy and coriander.

Su Xia looked at the wilted food and sighed. Without a refrigerator, she could only eat what she could get. But then she became happy again.

At least her gold finger opened wide and kept fresh forever, which was not only better than a refrigerator, but also free of electricity bills.

Su Xia hummed a tune as she cleaned the warehouse again, put the jars in order, and placed the various vegetables in baskets according to their types, and then put them on the shelves.

In an instant, the entire warehouse became much cleaner and more upright.

Su Xia casually took a small vegetable basket and walked along. When she came out of the warehouse, there was an extra cantaloupe, a goose egg, a handful of beans, and two corns in the basket.

Then I went home and cut half a watermelon in the kitchen into a small half, enough for one person.

Su Xia covered the basket with a white cotton cloth and came out of the house in a happy mood.

Then he walked towards his neighbor, Grandma Dou, who lived alone, and knocked on the door softly.

Dongdong－－－

Yes, Su Xia came to give a gift, because last time Grandma Dou gave gifts to Dabao and Erbao, she had not expressed her gratitude for a while, and Su Xia had been thinking about it. She was a person who did not like to reciprocate gifts. In fact, to put it bluntly, she did not want to owe anyone.

Knocked twice more, dong dong--

I waited for 2 minutes before I heard footsteps.

Su Xia stood next to the iron gate. The gate was not as big as her house, only about the width of a person's shoulder plus half a shoulder.

In fact, Su Xia was quite curious about this old lady. How did she live alone? How did she make a living? How did she live alone in a house and no one dared to disturb her?

Su Xia thought of the fate of those elderly people living alone in those novels. Their families were all wiped out. Although she had not been out during this period, she had a general understanding of the neighbors around her.

I've met her several times before and I think Grandma Qiao is a nice girl. But it's a pity that there are so many people in her family, especially Aunt Qiao and Daughter-in-law Qiao. Every time they see Su Xia, they roll their eyes or glare at her.

Humph - Su Xia is not a masochist, so of course she doesn't roll her eyes and glare, but she moves on.

The old lady I met that day, to put it bluntly, was a gossip. After the first time, every time she met her, Su Xia would automatically stop and prick up her ears, wanting to listen to the gossip.

The latest gossip about Xi is nothing except the Qiao family going to the countryside to find work.

When Su Xia was about to say hello, the door creaked open and she looked at Grandma Dou who was standing there.

Su Xia was certain that the person in front of her was definitely the lady from the past.

What did you say....?

How do you determine...?

She stood there, with her back straight, her hair tied up in a bun with a wooden fork hooked behind her, with intelligent eyes looking down, a perfect nose bridge, small lips, and a slightly sunken oval face.

The key point is that Grandma Dou and Su Xia are the first people I have seen wearing jewelry in all the time I have been here.

The silver earrings next to the two earlobes would sparkle in the sunlight.

The Mao suit with a stand-up collar was meticulously buttoned from the first button at the neck to the last button at the hem. He also wore black trousers and black cloth shoes. Not a single wrinkle or piece of cloth remained, and everything was clean and tidy.

Su Xia was in a panic for only a moment, so she didn't let Grandma Dou know at all. During this panic, she thought so much.

"Grandma Dou, these were sent from my hometown. They're nothing rare. I'll give them to you to try."

Grandma Dou looked at the smiling girl in front of her, who was bright and outgoing.

Grandma Dou suddenly saw an acquaintance, and a moment later.

I reached out to take it, but a gust of wind blew past, lifting up a corner of the cotton cloth, and I saw something incredible.

Looking at Su Xia in shock for the first time, Grandma Dou recalled the words she had just heard: "Not a rare thing..."

He almost broke down in front of the younger one, and his lips twitched.

Looking at Su Xia blinking with a curious look, I really want to sigh, fearing that she might misunderstand this "rare thing".

"Okay, come in with 놖, and 놖 will give you back the basket!"

Su Xia....

As expected, she is a lady from a noble family, and she speaks directly and openly.

Su Xia walked in curiously and looked around the whole yard. It was really small, but compared to her home, it looked like a model.

Seeing the owner go in, Su Xia stopped, thinking it would be impolite to go in, and then stood still, observing the current house.

Grandma Dou's house is located to the west of Su Xia's house. There are high walls on both sides, giving people a full sense of security.

Because it is small, the width of the whole yard seems to be only 6 meters.

So there are no left and right wing rooms, and the main house has two rooms instead of three. It is obvious that only one person lives there, and the kitchen and living room are shared.

As for the backyard, I didn't need to go there, but I could guess that there should be a firewood shed, a toilet, and a well, because I didn't see the neighbor go out to fetch water.

When Su Xia looked around curiously, Grandma Dou in the kitchen was stunned for the first time. The goose egg melon, cantaloupe and watermelon placed in front of her looked normal except for the beans and eggplant.

There were only three left, and although that wasn't much, it was still a lot for her alone.

The corners of Grandma Dou's mouth trembled, and even her eyebrows could be seen twitching noticeably.

"Hey - why doesn't this girl look like a villager at all...?"

Grandma Dou was in a trance for a moment and decided to accept this kindness. Could it be that she should kick him out right away?

After thinking about it, I went back to my bedroom, where there was a kang bed, a kang cabinet, a kang table, a wardrobe and a dressing table, all arranged meticulously.

Then she took out a tin box from the closet, which contained a box of biscuits. Grandma Dou took a look and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there were still ten yuan.

Then connect it to the tin box and put it in the basket.

When I went out to see Su Xia, she was still standing there quietly, her eyes full of curiosity, and I felt relieved.

"Comrade Su, I'll give this back to you." His tone softened.

Su Xia was not curious, so she took it and saw the tin box. She looked at the old lady in surprise.

"Grandma Dou, what's this...?"

Then he felt something was wrong and immediately took it out to return it, but unfortunately it was caught by a pair of dry white hands.

"It's nothing rare, I'll take it back as a snack for the child."

After hearing this, Su Xia couldn't help but tremble the corners of her mouth several times in front of others.

After Grandma Dou saw this, the aura of the whole crowd softened.

Su Xia watched the other party take it back, thought about it, and chose to accept it. The main reason was that Su Xia recognized the tin box because she had several at home.

"Grandma Dou, thanks you on behalf of the children. I'll go back first."

"Alright, from now on, call me Su Xia, or Xia Xia."

Grandma Dou nodded, but didn't call her that. "Su girl, take care...!"

After hearing this, Su Xia sighed inwardly, wondering why everyone here liked to call it this.

Turning around, he nodded to the old lady, "Goodbye, Grandma Dou!"

Creaky - after the iron gate closed, Su Xia returned home and took a deep breath.

Why do I feel so tense all over when I’m walking around the neighborhood?

Grandma Dou ate the watermelon leisurely with small bites, not at all serious as before.

There is also opera next to it, with smooth singing. Listen carefully to the popular "The New Drunken Concubine".

Grandma Dou's fingers were still tapping gently.

"The family next door is so nice! I haven't met such a fun family in a long time..."
