Everyone in the room started slurping their noodles.
Smells so good!
The delicate and chewy taste, pure wheat aroma, and simple seasoning make it warm and filling in one gulp.
After eating the noodles, several people drank up the soup in the pot.
The brothers and sisters touched their stomachs which were 80% full and felt extremely satisfied.
There was a shout from outside the house.
"Is my mother's uncle home?"
When Old Mrs. Wu heard the voice and the address, she knew it was her niece.
She hurriedly opened the door: "Muxiang, come in quickly, what's the matter so late?"
Wu Muxiang walked in with half a bag of sugar, followed by Fang Guier.
Wu Muxiang smiled and said, "My Lady, I came to see you."
While handing the sugar to Old Mrs. Wu.
When Old Lady Wu opened the paper package, she was greatly surprised and immediately stuffed it back, saying repeatedly:
"Ah! Come on, come on! Why are you bringing something so rare? Take it back and eat Gui'er!"
The local area produces sugarcane. Sugar is not a very precious thing, but it is still rare. These days, the supply is always tight. Things like white sugar are especially hard to buy.
Wu Muxiang brought half a bag of sugar because she suddenly remembered that her aunt's house seemed to have an antique bowl, which was said to have been passed down from the porcelain market in the early years.
Although her aunt and uncle are old, they are still in good health. They can get full work points and are in a better situation than her. The little rice she has is probably not enough to impress them.
Wu Muxiang didn't refuse and directly stated her purpose.
After hearing this, Old Mrs. Wu stopped refusing and put the sugar away.
She sighed, put the sugar in her pocket and turned to go to the kitchen:
"That bowl is in the kitchen. I'll get it for you."
Everyone knows that antiques are valuable, but in the current situation, selling them out will not bring you anything, and it may even be dangerous. If you keep them at home, they can only be used as artifacts.
It is impossible to take the bowl away so easily, even if it is Mrs. Wu’s niece.
But half a bag of sugar is different. The old man happened to fall, and it was time to replenish his nutrition.
No matter how good the bowl is, it is useless if it is kept. It is better to exchange it for something that is needed right now, which will make my niece's life better.
Old Mrs. Wu could more or less guess the purpose of Wu Muxiang coming to exchange the bowl.
She knew that her niece was a widow and her life was indeed difficult. It was not surprising that she would take risks when she had no other choice.
This bag of sugar was probably obtained by Wu Muxiang by trading other antiques.
Old Mrs. Wu handed the bowl to Wu Muxiang and instructed:
"I know it's difficult for you, but you still have a daughter to raise, so you have to be careful in everything."
Wu Muxiang nodded: "Don't worry, Madam, I know what's going on. Why don't you see your uncle?"
"Your uncle fell today and is lying in bed."
…
Wu Muxiang said a few words of concern, and the two of them exchanged pleasantries for a while. Just then, Hua Erniu came out, and Wu Muxiang smiled and said:
"Erniu, if you get any gold, silver, antiques, or anything like that, you can come and exchange it with me for food and meat."
Hua Erniu was stunned and very surprised.
Wasn’t it said that Widow Wu refused to remarry at all costs, and that her family was extremely poor and almost starving to death?
There is a widely circulated saying that a widow's door is full of troubles.
Many men had coveted Widow Wu before, some even harassed her at her doorstep at night, and there was no shortage of gossip about her in the village.
Originally, Widow Wu was weak and alone and did not dare to argue with these people, but as the rumors intensified and the men's actions became more and more excessive, she just took the risk.
She simply picked up a knife and slashed at the man who came to harass her, sending him into the hospital. Then she chased after the people who spread the rumors and cursed them all, silencing them all.
After all, she was holding a knife when she was cursing, and there was obvious threat in her eyes, as if she was going to fight you with her life if you dare to talk nonsense again.
Although killing is against the law, there is no need to fight with someone for your life!
She really chopped someone down!
The man who was hacked was disgraced after all. The captain was a man of right and wrong, so he suppressed the matter. It was only after Widow Wu paid for the medical expenses and a year's food that the other party stopped.
Now all the troubles are gone, but the person has been completely offended.
From then on, Widow Wu was assigned the hardest, most tiring work with the least work points. Ever since that incident was suppressed, the team leader didn't dare to show too much favor to Widow Wu.
Widow Wu is not afraid of rumors, but he is!
So she turned a blind eye to those people targeting Widow Wu. After all, it was just a little bit tiring and hard, but no major harm.
Originally, Widow Wu could barely support herself and her daughter, but Fang Guier fell ill again, and their lives suddenly fell into hardship.
It was normal for women in the village to gossip after dinner, so Hua Erniu had heard a lot about Widow Wu.
At first, she had the impression that she couldn't survive any longer, but the next second, she heard the other party say that they could exchange things for food and meat. Needless to say, Hua Erniu was shocked.
He suddenly had a guess in his mind: Could it be that the other party also met a god?
All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, but Hua Erniu remained calm and agreed casually.
After all, if he had something good, wouldn't he have gone to the black market to exchange it for food?
As for stealing Old Yutou’s sweet potatoes?
Wu Muxiang was just saying it casually.
She asked her aunt for a bowl because her aunt was trustworthy, and she told Hua Erniu that it was only because Hua Erniu and his siblings were young, and the transaction would not cause gossip in the villagers.
