The two got on a long-distance bus. There were not many people on the bus. The conductor checked the tickets, took them, and motioned for them to sit.
The two of them chose a seat near the window and in the front. After sitting down, Su Miantang put the backpack at his feet.
Rice, flour and oil, they put away a bottle of oil.
In the backpack were a bottle of oil, five pounds of brown sugar, and five pounds of white sugar.
The folded cloth and the salesperson gave me a rubber band about one meter long.
In addition, there is a pot of vinegar, chili powder, cumin powder, salt, and ten pounds of wild boar meat.
Of course, most of the vinegar, chili powder, cumin powder, salt, star anise, bay leaves, sugar, and Su Miantang were stored in his own space.
Things like iron pots and shovels cannot be bought without tickets.
However, the salesperson did remind her that in her hometown, Xiahe Village, there were people who specialized in making clay pots and casserole pots.
When the time comes, she will go home and ask her parents for help to get a few casseroles of different sizes, so that it will not be a problem to braise or stew meat.
Even eating has to be done secretly.
Alas, there is no way, special circumstances require special treatment.
In theory, it would be good if they just took care of each other.
In principle, they have no obligation to share a share with their family members.
But emotionally speaking, their family members are pretty good to them. Humans are social animals. It's okay for them to eat alone to a certain extent, but they can't eat alone completely and ignore their family members.
They try their best to reveal a little bit through their fingertips to their family members. This is their biggest concession.
Song Yue leaned back in her chair contentedly, not wanting to be too happy.
Two pounds of egg cake can last for three to five days if you eat it sparingly.
Her good girl bought her some cloth and when she got home, she asked the eldest son's wife to make her two new sets of clothes. She designed the drawings when she got home, but they couldn't be too old-fashioned, otherwise she would be embarrassed to wear them out!
And her pants. Her original pants were really dirty, they were rotten and full of holes.
If she hadn't found a brand new pair of shorts in the octagonal bucket in the house, she didn't know how she would have gotten through the past few days.
Originally, she had been holding back from mentioning it because she and her bestie's financial situation didn't allow her to be extravagant.
Now my good girl is selling wild boars on the black market and making a huge sum of money. If she doesn’t sell it now, when will she sell it?
When they returned to the village, they avoided the crowded road and took a less traveled path, which led them to their own neighborhood.
Then Su Miantang took out a bag of rice and a bag of flour, put them on his shoulders, and motioned for his good friend to go home and knock on the door, asking his elder and second sisters-in-law to help pick her up.
If you buy something and put in the effort, the hard work will be exposed.
Otherwise, others will think you have it easy.
The eldest and second sister-in-law are doing well now. This is because they are young and there is no friction among the family members for the time being.
But there is still a long time to go, and no one can predict what the situation will be like in the future.
Now, of course she has to let her elder and second sisters-in-law see what she has done. She is not here to eat for free.
Even if she doesn't do housework, she contributes money, labor, and provides food. If you want to argue with her in the future, or if someone bullies her, think twice...
Song Yue understood immediately, picked up a bottle of oil, and ran home panting.
Panting, he called the eldest and second daughters-in-law to open the door.
"Mom, why are you so out of breath? Where's my third sister-in-law?"
"Mom, what's going on? Where is my third brother's wife?"
"Eldest daughter-in-law, second daughter-in-law, please go and lend a hand. There are so many things, your third sister-in-law has been carrying them all the way."
"Why."
"good."
When Lin Fangfang and Qian Duoduo heard this, they hurried towards the place their mother-in-law pointed.
At the same time, I was thinking, what is this thing that I need to carry all the way?
Then, they saw the third brother's wife sweating profusely from exhaustion, carrying two sacks on her shoulders and a backpack that she had used when she went out in the morning, which was also bulging!
Don't say anything, just help!
The two of them originally wanted to help take the sack, but it didn't move at all.
Wow, the stuff in this sack is conservatively estimated to be more than 30 kilograms.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, please help me carry the backpack."
Su Miantang was understanding and said, it’s almost done, let’s go home quickly while there are not many people around.
"Why."
"Okay, okay."
Lin Fangfang and Qian Duoduo turned their heads away in shame, went over to help take off their third brother's wife's backpack, and then saw a dazzling array of things.
"Shh, let's go home and talk."
Su Miantang shrugged, feeling relieved now that there was nothing behind him.
Lin Fangfang and Qian Duoduo suppressed their curiosity and fear, looked around, and quickly worked together to lift the backpack and followed behind the third brother and sister-in-law...
Song Yue peeked in at the door stealthily. Seeing her best friend come back, and then her two daughters-in-law, she thought, sure, I've got it.
After the daughters-in-law came back, Song Yue locked the door, looked at the crack of the door furtively for a while, then patted her chest, turned around and said with a smile:
"Huh~ We haven't been discovered by the villagers. We are living our own lives behind closed doors. These grains are for our survival. Don't let anything slip."
The "you" mentioned here are obviously directed at Lin Fangfang and Qian Duoduo.
The two nodded and kept their mouths shut!
Su Miantang took the water poured by her second sister-in-law and drank it all in one gulp.
Cool!
Song Yue took the water handed to her by her eldest daughter-in-law and drank it all in one gulp.
Comfortable!
After the two of them finished drinking the water, Song Yue spoke:
"To tell you the truth, the third brother's wife's family originally asked for 50 yuan as a gift, but when the third brother and his family returned to their parents' home, they returned 30 yuan, and also subsidized a lot of bills."
