Chapter 46: Accommodation
After seeing Lin Guangsheng off, Xiao Taohua was quite downcast. In the end, it was Yin Qing who smiled and said he would take her to the supply and marketing cooperative to cheer her up.
Speaking of which, ever since Hongji went to town last year, Xiaotaohua has never left Xiaolin Village, which is more than half a year ago.
It's not that I'm throwing the baby out with the bathwater, but I really need to lay low for a while.
But after several months, even the biggest problems have become trivial.
Yin Qing picked up her daughter, grabbed the tickets and money, and set off.
The town was as bustling as ever, and the supply and marketing cooperative was as bustling as ever.
Even the members of the supply and marketing cooperative's eyes lit up when they saw Xiao Taohua, clearly recognizing her: "What is Xiao Taohua here to buy?"
"Hello, Auntie, we'd like a pound of mung bean cake and a box of face cream."
"Okay, I'll get it for you right away."
"Thank you, Auntie."
"You're welcome." She said, quickly handing the things to Yin Qing: "Your child is so well-behaved, truly a little lucky charm."
Yin Qing:......
She really didn't know how to respond.
It's been so long, who would have thought that they still remembered their daughter, and even recognized her? It seems that something strange has happened somewhere, unbeknownst to her.
Sure enough, some strange things did happen. These were all done in private and didn't reach Yin Qing and his wife.
Didn't Little Peach Blossom act as a wedding doll before?
This is a wonderful thing to do! The newlyweds got married, and the very next day, everyone in their family got jobs. They even had a baby just a month after getting married. Isn't that a blessing?
However, the colleague knew that Yin Qing and her husband were sensitive about others mentioning that their daughter was a lucky charm, so he naturally didn't say it in front of Yin Qing and her husband. But everyone else was observant and could tell.
Unfortunately, Mr. and Mrs. Yin Qing wouldn't let their child be a Fuwa (lucky baby). In the end, no one knows who came up with the idea, but they actually drew a small picture of a peach blossom and pasted it in their home like the character "囍" (double happiness).
Should the person involved know about this?
That's definitely not possible.
So, without the Lin family's knowledge, Little Peach Blossom was quite famous.
Well, of course, not everyone knows this. People are still very wary of it and won't give those in power an opportunity to crack down on feudal ideas.
So there's really no need to be too surprised by the enthusiasm of the supply and marketing cooperative members.
If Yin Qing had observed carefully, she would have noticed that many people in the supply and marketing cooperative were now paying attention to her and her daughter, though some of it was less obvious.
"By the way, I have some flawed items here. Are you interested?" This question was naturally directed at Yin Qing. Yin Qing raised an eyebrow. Although she was interested, she still declined.
After all, she genuinely didn't know the other person and had no need to take advantage of them: "Thank you, but no need."
"That's a pity, they're all good stuff."
Yin Qing nodded and looked at her daughter: "Is there anything else Little Peach Blossom wants?"
Little Peach Blossom counted on her little fingers: "We have sunflower seeds and peanuts at home. My friends also gave me sweet potatoes, maltose, and candy. Little Peach Blossom can't eat them now because her teeth hurt. Even without her mother, we still have everything at home."
"Is there anything you particularly want that you don't have at home?"
Little Peach Blossom thought for a moment, then her eyes suddenly lit up: "Mommy, Mommy, meat, braised pork!"
Thinking about this, Little Peach Blossom's mouth was watering.
Yin Qing was stunned for a moment.
She'd heard about her daughter; she ate meat all the time, whether it was chicken or rabbit, and she never came back empty-handed from a trip up the mountain. Even if she didn't go up the mountain, she could find fish or bird eggs, so she was never short of meat.
Thinking about it, Yin Qing realized that although her daughter ate a lot of meat, she had never actually eaten braised pork, and the best braised pork was always made with pork.
"Okay, let's buy meat together later and make braised pork when we get home."
"Thank you, Mom." Little Peach Blossom was overjoyed. She had heard from her friends that braised pork was incredibly delicious, but she had never tried it before and really wanted to.
"You're welcome. Little Peach Blossom can tell Mommy what she wants to eat." Yin Qing still feels a little guilty when she thinks back on it now.
Although the couple did not reject their daughter, there were certain things they had never given her.
I've never made braised pork before.
"No, Little Peach Blossom has already eaten them all."
Yin Qing patted her daughter's head and sighed inwardly. She was just too obedient, so obedient that it broke her heart.
After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, the mother and daughter went to the meat processing plant and bought two jin of pork belly with their coupons.
"Hey, stop right there! I'm talking to you!"
The mother and daughter were about to leave when they were stopped by someone.
Yin Qing shielded her daughter behind her.
Little Peach Blossom clung to her mother's clothes, secretly glancing at the person blocking their way. He looked like a very, very big older brother.
"Is something the matter?" Yin Qing asked.
The man scanned the mother and daughter back and forth, and said rather arrogantly, "I'll buy the pork belly you're holding from you. I won't let you lose out, I'll give you an extra two yuan."
Yin Qinglian's expression didn't change: "Not for sale!"
"Hey, don't be so greedy, two dollars is more than enough."
Yin Qing reiterated, "Not for sale!"
"Do you know who I am? I'm buying your stuff to give you face, don't be stubborn and ask for trouble!"
The commotion quickly caught the attention of those around, and everyone was stunned.
Is someone putting on airs?
No, you're putting your temper in the wrong place. Don't you even know who's in front of you?!
These are Fuwa mascots!
"Hurry up, give me the meat quickly, I'm in a hurry to get back and use it." The man impatiently took out his money and reached out to take the pork belly from Yin Qing's basket. Yin Qing took a step back, and the man failed.
"You bad guy!" Little Peach Blossom shouted from the side.
"Hey, where did this kid come from? I don't argue with kids. Hurry up, I need this meat urgently. Who would pay two extra dollars if they didn't need it urgently?"
"Comrade, I said I'm not selling! Are you deaf or not?"
"Yes, comrade, the other party has already said they won't sell anymore, you can't force them, can you?"
"That's right, you want to eat meat, and so do other people."
"Yes, we can't do things like that."
“They don’t look like they’re short of money. Isn’t this robbery?”
"What I do is none of your business!" the boy said, somewhat annoyed.
His family asked him to go out and buy meat, but the last two pounds of pork belly had already been sold. How could he go back and explain himself? No, so he had to buy it from someone else.
The boy believed that his work was authentic and that he hadn't taken it for nothing; after all, he had paid for it.
"Hey, that's not nice of you. How can it not be our business? We're trying to help you."
"That's right, they bullied Fu..." The words that were about to come out were swallowed back down. The boy didn't care and kept his eyes on the meat in Yin Qing's basket. However, his tone was slightly better this time: "Comrade, I have family members who urgently need it. Can you please make an exception?"
