Looking at the greasy corners of his son's mouth, he knew that Li Le was not the only one who ate the meat buns, and he was very happy.
Aunt Xu only has one son, Chen Hai. Her husband died early in the line of duty. His in-laws broke off relations with her and her mother for the small amount of compensation.
That was the Three Years of Hardship. Chen Hai had been weak and sickly since childhood, and he almost starved to death during that period.
Later I got through it, but I also became a picky eater.
Don't be fooled by his tall and strong appearance, he is very picky, otherwise Aunt Xu would not take the risk to engage in this reselling business.
In the final analysis, I don't want to let my son down with his mouth.
She couldn't rely on her own cooking skills, so she hoped to find a daughter-in-law with good cooking skills so that her son would not go hungry.
She wanted to introduce Jiang Wanwan to her son, not only because of her beauty, but also because of her excellent craftsmanship.
To be able to make such delicious snacks, her cooking skills must be good. When Aunt Xu ate her meat buns that day, she became even more certain of her judgment.
Especially since Chen Hai also ate meat buns. You know, her son never eats anything indiscriminately.
When Chen Hai heard what Aunt Xu said, he just hummed lightly, and it was unclear whether he was responding to her about the wool or the delicious meat buns.
Aunt Xu didn't ask further questions. She leaned over and smiled obscenely, "Did you give her half of the yarn?"
Chen Hai turned his head away uncomfortably, still humming lightly.
Aunt Xu didn't ask any more questions now. She clapped her hands and said, "Alright, I have something else to do. You have to compensate me for the meat buns. Think about buying me some from the state-owned restaurant."
After saying that, he glanced at his son and said, "This is a bargain for you. How can the meat buns in the state-owned restaurant compare to Jiang Zhiqing's?"
Speaking of Jiang Wanwan, she saw Wang Fang again at the black market, still selling eggs.
Wang Fang also saw Jiang Wanwan and came over to stand with her.
"Isn't this snack sent to you by your family?"
Jiang Wanwan didn't answer but asked, "Who told you it was sent from my family? This is a snack. If it's sent from Beijing, it will definitely go bad if it gets here."
Wang Fang pursed her lips. She didn't want to gossip behind others' backs, but she wanted to get to the bottom of this matter since she had seen it.
Jiang Wanwan had guessed something. "Qiao Wenwan told you that, didn't she? What else did she say? She didn't say I wasn't united with my comrades, that I was taking advantage of others' misfortunes, or even that I was ungrateful, did she?"
"It's not that harsh," Wang Fang explained palely. "She asked me to borrow money again a few days ago, but I didn't lend her the money this time. So she started crying poor to me, saying that they also had a share of the snacks you exchanged for money on the black market, but you just took them away and used them to exchange for money on the black market. She has no source of income, earns few work points, and has to take care of Du Jiaming for you..."
"Okay, okay, stop it," Jiang Wanwan really couldn't bear to listen anymore.
"They got a share of my snacks? How dare she say that? These snacks weren't sent by my family at all. I made them myself. And who can she blame for the low work points she earned? It's because she was lazy and took too many leave. I'm lucky the team didn't hold her responsible for being a parasite. She really doesn't have the nerve to be shameless."
I've known for a long time that Qiao Wenwan would spread rumors behind her back and wouldn't say anything good about her, but I didn't expect it to be so outrageous.
"And what about Du Jiaming? What do you mean by taking care of him for me? Is Du Jiaming my son or my grandson? Does he need me to raise him? If I stop caring about him, I'll have to find someone else to take care of him for me. Do I owe him anything?"
Wang Fang couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"How come you're so talkative before?"
Moreover, she had no sense of presence at the educated youth point. If she hadn't heard about it from Qiao Wenwan, she would almost not have remembered that there was such a person at the educated youth point.
But to be honest, she had doubts since Qiao Wenwan first asked her to borrow money.
Qiao Wenwan has been in the Red Star Brigade for more than two years. The two have a good relationship, but he has never shown that he is short of money. On the contrary, she often comes to her with good things. At first, he felt embarrassed to refuse her kindness, and he felt grateful after eating her food, so the two became friends.
And the things Qiao Wenwan had said to her all the time, now that she knew the real reason why she went to the countryside, no matter how she thought about it, it didn't make sense.
Not to mention taking care of Du Jiaming.
No matter what, Du Jiaming is Jiang Wanwan's childhood sweetheart, and many people know about their relationship. Now that Jiang Wanwan has married Lu Xiao for whatever reason, if Qiao Wenwan really regards Jiang Wanwan as a friend, she should draw a clear line with Du Jiaming instead of getting close to him with various excuses.
Think again about the rumors about Jiang Wanwan back then, and the many times Qiao Wenwan said things to her that were ambiguous.
Some people are really good at pretending.
Jiang Wanwan and Wang Fang were selling things while chatting. The weather was good today and there was no patrol team coming to check, so they both sold a lot.
It was almost noon and the market was closing. Jiang Wanwan didn't want to go back and cook alone, so she simply went to the state-owned restaurant.
Wang Fang knew that Jiang Wanwan was going to the state-owned restaurant, so she followed her.
From the first time she saw Wang Fang selling eggs on the black market, Jiang Wanwan had been suspicious of her eggs. Now that they were close friends, Jiang Wanwan knew that most of her eggs were purchased from members of the cooperative.
They buy at the market price and then sell them on the black market, earning an extra cent per egg.
What did Jiang Wanwan say? She admired the pioneers of these markets the most. As contemporary people born and raised here, they were able to do such things. Besides being brave, they also had quick minds.
Especially Wang Fang, she is the daughter of the branch secretary.
Today the state-owned restaurant has dumplings, dumplings stuffed with fresh meat and green onions, one dime per two ounces, and one cent more if you don't have a ticket.
