As soon as Jiang Mengxue went out, she heard Guan Hongqi's voice giving instructions to Guan Hongjun from behind.
She was quite satisfied with these two people and they were quite reliable in their work.
Although the two sides do not have much contact, there is still trust between them.
Guan Hongqi dared to pay the money before even seeing the goods, which was also a sign of his surrender to Jiang Mengxue.
The two of them knew it well, and Jiang Mengxue also accepted it. In short, he would never suffer any loss in future business.
After leaving, Jiang Mengxue found a secluded corner, and after making sure that there was no one around, she slipped into the space.
Quickly wash off the makeup and change back into your own clothes.
Jiang Mengxue plans to go to the vegetable market to cook at home tonight.
Even if you can't buy anything, you should still go for a walk.
The vegetable market is most crowded in the morning and evening. People who are not working go there in the morning, and people who are working go there after get off work. The vegetables are the most complete at these two times.
But it’s not certain about meat. Sometimes the supply is scarce and you may not be able to buy it even if you come in the morning.
Especially now, sometimes we can get less than half a pig a day.
Those with connections directly retain a portion of it, and only a small amount is actually sold.
I simply bought some vegetables and a few pieces of garlic, but didn't see anything worth buying, so I went straight back to the slum.
When I got home, I took out a beautiful piece of pork belly from the basket.
First, simmer the rice, then stir-fry some braised pork, add two potatoes, and then stir-fry some green vegetables with garlic.
Every household in the yard is cooking at this time.
Su Mo, the daughter-in-law of the Cao family next door, was washing vegetables by the well in the yard.
Thinking about the unpleasant things between the two of them before.
Although Su Mo may have forgotten what she said, Jiang Mengxue didn't want to have any contact with her family anymore.
I also hope that Su Mo will never think about the so-called past life again in her life.
But things didn't go as planned. Li Xiuying, who was sitting at the doorstep, had already seen Jiang Mengxue.
He ran to Jiang Mengxue's door in three or two steps.
Jiang Mengxue was sitting at the doorstep picking vegetables when she suddenly felt a black screen in front of her eyes.
Helpless, Jiang Mengxue had to say hello.
"Oh, Aunt Cao, your family hasn't cooked yet?"
Li Xiuying pouted, looking unhappy: "Isn't that what she is doing? She just eats free meals at home and does nothing. Why support her? Humph, useless things, each one of them is a worry."
Jiang Mengxue knew that this was talking about her two daughters-in-law, but she didn't know how to respond and could only pretend that she didn't understand.
Li Xiuying also knew that Jiang Mengxue did not live in the compound, and did not know what had happened in her family recently, so she did not say anything.
Instead, he asked about their life back home.
"By the way, how was your trip back home? Is your second mother okay?
Alas, we haven’t seen each other much since we got married. Now that we finally meet, you don’t live here anymore.
We had so much fun when we were young, but now it’s hard to see each other after we got married.”
Jiang Mengxue frowned, a little confused. This shouldn't be the case, right?
Although Li Cuiying has few relatives from her mother's family, she gets along well with her family. She goes back whenever there is something to do, and they keep in touch with each other.
If the two really got along well, it would be impossible for them to not know that both families lived in the city for decades.
I haven't seen them since I went home for over 20 years? Could it be that I haven't heard anyone talk about them?
And since the two of them met in the courtyard, Li Cuiying has never mentioned her again.
Before, when I knew that their names only differed by one character, I thought they were very close.
But after spending time with and chatting with the two of them, it seems like they don't know each other very well.
One is Li Cuiying and the other is Li Xiuying.
These two names sound like sisters.
At first, Jiang Mengxue actually thought that she was related to the Cao family across the street.
But after spending so much time with Li Cuiying, I didn't find any contact between the two families.
Aunt Cao came over to get close to me right now, it couldn't be for no reason, right?
I just don't know what her purpose is.
Jiang Mengxue dealt with her calmly.
After a while, Li Xiuying noticed Jiang Mengxue's expression and casually asked, "Have your uncle and aunt retired? Or do they plan to keep their jobs and let relatives take over?
And you went back to the countryside, didn't you? So what happened to your job at the hospital?"
As soon as Li Xiuying asked this question, Jiang Mengxue understood.
I also knew the purpose of her coming here.
But I'm afraid she will be disappointed.
"Aunt Cao, look at what you said. My second mother and second uncle both retired and receive pensions. If the job is passed on to someone else, then they won't have pensions, right?
My job is being transferred, not being discontinued. Where will the job come from? You're overthinking it."
Although Li Xiuying had been mentally prepared, she was still a little disappointed when she heard Jiang Mengxue's affirmative words.
Her family's conditions are not bad now, even better than those of her neighbors in the same courtyard.
But that's just what it seems on the surface.
His family earns more than they spend, and his eldest daughter-in-law is about to lose her job.
The second daughter-in-law doesn’t know whether she can continue working.
As the sons had more and more children, the pressure of life became greater and greater.
Several sons and daughters-in-law who had previously wanted to divide the family property are now silent.
If two people's salary can support a family of several people, there is certainly no pressure, but it is not easy to support a family with one person's salary.
Especially when food is hard to buy and the grain bags are empty at the end of the month, one can only sell food at high prices to survive for a few days.
A little bit of high-priced food is even more expensive than a person's food ration for a month, but it has to be bought.
It’s impossible for the whole family to starve until the food coupons are issued at the beginning of the month.
