They stood at the door, and simultaneously straightened their clothes and hair. Then Xu Qianjiao walked forward with light steps, extended her finger, and gently knocked on the door.
“Knock knock knock~”
The knock on the door was crisp and rhythmic, showing the indifference of the person knocking.
"Who is it?" Sister Huang's voice came from behind the door. Xu Qianjiao said loudly: "Sister Huang, it's me, Jiaojiao."
"Click~" The door opened, and Sister Huang stood at the door, looking at Xu Qianjiao in surprise, "Jiaojiao, why are you here? Come in quickly, Jiawen is here too, come on, come in quickly."
Cheng Jiawen and Xu Qianjiao followed Sister Huang into the house. When they stepped into the room, a stale smell hit them in the face.
Sunlight streamed through the windows, illuminating the dusty floor and walls. The old furniture was neatly arranged.
The house is not big, it is a small three-bedroom house, about 70 square meters, with a small balcony for hanging clothes. Cheng Jiawen and Xu Qianjiao looked around calmly, with curiosity and thought in their eyes.
Sister Huang led the two to the living room and said, "Come on, sit here."
Cheng Jiawen and Xu Qianjiao walked over. Cheng Jiawen put the things in his hand on the table. Sister Huang saw the large pile of things they brought and said, "Oh, you just came, why did you bring so many things?"
"It's nothing, just some worthless agricultural products. I brought them for you to try." Xu Qian explained with a smile.
Sister Huang opened the bag and saw so much produce inside. She quickly put it back in the bag and stuffed it back into the two people's hands. "Oh, that's thoughtful. It's so rare to have so much meat. Take it back and eat it yourself."
She was surprised to see a piece of bacon, some sausages and a cured rabbit inside. Could they have given her all the meat in their house? That wouldn't be okay.
They are in the city, and it is easy to buy other things, but food and meat are really hard to get, so what they eat is actually not as good as some of the wealthier families in the countryside.
Xu Qianjiao placed the bag on the table and explained with a smile, "Sister Huang, please take it. There isn't much in it. It's just some agricultural products. It's not worth much. I made the meat and rabbit myself. I didn't spend any money on it."
Seeing that Xu Qianjiao and the others were so determined, Sister Huang couldn't refuse anymore. Besides, her family hadn't eaten meat for a long time, and this meat was enough to last them for a long time.
They live in the city, and although their salaries are high and they have money, it is difficult to buy meat and food. So they have money but cannot buy meat.
She would go to the black market occasionally, but she didn't dare go there often. After all, they had to be careful about their identities, otherwise they would be caught just for buying something, which would not be worth it.
"Okay, since you said so, I won't be polite." Sister Huang said with a smile, looking at the things on the table, silently planning what gift to give to the two of them later.
The young couple brought so many things to visit her, she couldn't let them suffer a loss, so she brought back some more things for them. I remember there seemed to be two malted milks, two cans of canned fruit, and some biscuits at home. Let Jiaojiao and the others take them back.
"Oh, I've been sitting for so long that I forgot to pour water for you. Please wait here for a moment, I'll go get you a glass of water." After saying this, Sister Huang took the kettle and went out to get some hot water.
Xu Qianjiao and Cheng Jiawen sat in the living room, silently looking at the environment of the tube-shaped building.
Today's tube-shaped buildings are a bit like the apartment buildings of later generations. They all have a long corridor and many families live in it, but the only difference is that there is no kitchen and bathroom in the house. People have to go to the public kitchen and bathroom to cook and take a bath, which is really a bit inconvenient.
But even so, there are still many people who envy those who live in tube-shaped buildings, because generally speaking, those who can live in tube-shaped buildings basically have jobs, because nowadays buildings are not bought, but allocated.
That is why there are many cases where a family of more than a dozen people lives in a house of only a few dozen square meters.
A family like Sister Huang's already has a very good family. Generally, families like theirs have someone with a relatively high position or fewer family members.
"Come on, come on, have something to drink." Sister Huang came back with a few cups of malted milk. She poured two cups for Cheng Jiawen and Xu Qianjiao, "Try it quickly, malted milk, it's delicious."
Xu Qianjiao and Cheng Jiawen took the malted milk and took a light sip.
The rich milky aroma spreads in the mouth, and its silky taste leaves a delicate touch on the tip of the tongue. After swallowing, the rich taste still lingers in the mouth for a long time.
"Hmm, it's delicious, with a nice milky flavor." Xu Qianjiao said to Sister Huang in surprise.
When Sister Huang saw that Xu Qianjiao liked it, the smile on her face became even bigger. "Hahaha, Jiaojiao likes it. Bring some back later."
"Well, this won't do. I came to see you, why am I taking things?" Xu Qianjiao said playfully, holding Sister Huang's hand.
Sister Huang reached out and patted Xu Qianjiao's hand, pretending to be angry and said, "You are still being polite to me. It's just a little malted milk. Sister Huang can still afford it."
"Hahaha, then I won't be polite. Thank you, Sister Huang." Xu Qianjiao took Sister Huang's hand, leaned her head on her shoulder, and said coquettishly, "Sister Huang is so good to me. She even asked my brother-in-law to support me yesterday."
"Hahaha, you got the generations wrong. You should call me Aunt Huang. Hahaha, there's a generation difference. I was just saying brother-in-law sounds weird."
Sister Huang felt strange when she heard Xu Qianjiao calling him brother-in-law. She was the same age as her son, and she didn't feel anything when he called her sister, but when he called her husband brother-in-law, she felt like there was a generation difference.
"Oh, Sister Huang is so young, why should I call you aunt? I feel like we are of the same generation." Xu Qianjiao coaxed with a smile.
Sister Huang was so coaxed that her eyes were wide with laughter. "Hahaha, Jiaojiao is really good at coaxing people. She made me so happy."
"I'm telling the truth." Xu Qianjiao said with a smile.
Before they knew it, they were chatting until noon. Sister Huang looked at her watch and said, "Oh, look at me, I've forgotten the time while chatting. You guys wait here for a while, I'll go cook. Stay here for lunch."
"Oh, no, no, let's go home and eat. No need to work anymore." Xu Qianjiao quickly grabbed Sister Huang's hand and said.
Sister Huang pushed them back onto the stools. "How can you do this? It's already noon, and you don't want to stay for a meal? Do you look down on your sister Huang's cooking skills?"
"No, no, how could that be possible." Xu Qianjiao explained with a helpless smile, "Oh, I came to see you, but ended up asking for free food and drinks. How can that be?"
"Hey, why are you thinking about these things when you come to my house? I like you, so I want to invite you to dinner. Don't worry about it. Come and try my cooking skills later." After Sister Huang said this, she took the bacon that Xu Qianjiao and others had just brought and walked towards the public kitchen.
Seeing this, Xu Qianjiao went up to help, while Cheng Jiawen stayed in the house to watch over it.
