Chapter 429
She brushed her teeth and washed her face, then changed into an orange long-sleeved dress. She tied her messy hair into two braids and pressed the frizzy hair on her forehead with water. Then Su Qingci opened the door and walked towards Song Jingzhou's room.
Song Jingzhou had just wiped the mat on the bed, the stool and the small table with a handkerchief when Su Qingci came and knocked on the door.
"Come, sit here and eat quickly, or it will get cold soon."
Su Qingci was not polite either. She took the sweet soy milk, drank a big gulp, and ate a soup dumpling one by one.
"Have you eaten? Where did this bowl come from?"
Song Jingzhou held a soup dumpling and fed it to her mouth attentively, then whispered, "I've eaten. This is for you. The bowl is from the shop across the street. Just bring it to him when we go out later."
"Is it tasty?"
"Good Seven~"
Song Jingzhou looked at her puffy little mouth with a smile on his face, "This is the last basket left. I finally managed to get it. I knew you would like it."
Su Qingci lowered her head, took a bite of the fried dough stick, and laughed at him, "Bring honor to our family. I like everything you buy."
"Mm, that's really cool. Come on, have a bite too."
Song Jingzhou took a bite of the fried dough stick handed to him by the other party, tilted his head slightly, and gently stroked his short hair with his big hand.
"No wonder we get along so well and can be together. You see, we have the same interests and hobbies. Hehe, I think I'm handsome too."
Su Qingci looked at his funny appearance and laughed.
After eating and drinking to their heart's content, seeing that it was still early, the two went to the black market again, bought a lot of things in large and small bags, and took them back to Liuhuai Lane.
The three Sigui siblings have already gone to school, Liao Fengmei is boiling medicine, and Li Yueniang and Grandma Guo are sitting under a tree in the yard sewing shoe soles.
Seeing Su Qingci and Song Jingzhou coming back, he hurried forward to take the things.
"Hey, you came back just in time, why are you buying things again?"
"Grandma, Grandma Guo, Auntie~"
Su Changzhi, who was in the house, heard the noise outside and stood up and looked towards the door.
"Xiao Song and Qing Ci are back?"
"Hey, uncle~"
Song Jingzhou politely greeted everyone in the yard, then said, "We just happened to be passing by the northern suburbs and saw something for sale, so we just happened to ask for it. If you go, it will be troublesome, and you might not even come across these things."
"What did you buy?"
Su Qingci took out the pieces one by one, "A piece of meat, and some lard. Didn't you say last time that you wanted to squeeze the oil?"
"I also bought a cured chicken and fifty eggs. It's just right for you to cook two eggs for Sigui and the others every day. You can also cook them in the morning and let them take them to school. Sigui is at a critical stage of growth. If he doesn't get enough nutrition, he will be fixed in two years and won't grow any more."
Li Yue Niang swallowed the nagging that was about to come out of her mouth in an instant. It was true that Sigui was already sixteen years old, and his height was about the same as Su Qingci, less than 1.6 meters. When Su Jindong was sixteen, he was at least half a head taller than him.
"Okay, okay, it's time to buy eggs."
Song Jingzhou put the large sack in his hand on the table and said, "This is rice. I bought it with Qingci."
"Don't you like porridge? Qingci also likes rice. She said my uncle and his family probably like it too. We just happened to meet them, so she brought back 60 kilograms."
"We'll eat it at home first, and then we'll buy more."
When Li Yueniang heard that Qingci and her uncle both liked it, she nodded repeatedly, "Okay, this is fine grain, it's not easy to buy. The grain station was robbed as soon as it arrived. I was planning to take your aunt to the black market these two days."
"Come on, Song boy, carry the milk inside to the grain vat."
Liao Fengmei quickly poured two bowls of tea and said, "They're both cold."
"Okay, thank you, auntie."
Su Changzhi asked Su Qingci with a painful look on his face, "Qingci, this must cost a lot of money, right?"
As the elder, he should have been the one buying things for Qingci, but his little niece has always had to support the family.
The clothes I rented last time haven’t been returned yet, and I’m buying this and that. I guess all the little salary my niece earns is spent on supporting the whole family.
Su Changzhi always felt that his family's return was a burden to the Su family, and he felt full of guilt.
How could Su Qingci not understand what her uncle was thinking?
"Uncle, we're all family. Don't overthink it. My brother, Sigui, and I are all the same. When we were younger, we all ate two eggs a day."
"Money is earned to be spent. Is saving it going to breed worms? The most important thing is that the whole family is healthy and happy."
Li Yue Niang came out and just heard the conversation between Su Qingci and Su Changzhi, and nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, Qingci is right. You don't have to worry about money. Oh, and I have some good news for you."
"Didn't I say before that I would help Fengmei find a job?"
Liao Fengmei looked up with surprise and said, "Mom, but, but is there any progress on the work?"
Li Yue Niang nodded. "Yes, a formal female worker in the textile factory. If it works out, you can go and work at the end of the month. You will receive a fixed salary and tickets every month. Changzhi's health is gradually improving now. When he recovers, you can find a job. Then the family will gradually get better, right?"
Liao Fengmei was excited and held Su Changzhi's hand tightly.
During this period, they had to eat and drink as soon as they opened their eyes. The three children were growing up, and the food in the jar was visibly consumed. Changzhi's medicine was also expensive. As a daughter-in-law from outside and a mother of three children, her worries were no less than Su Changzhi's.
When Su Changzhi heard what Li Yue Niang said, he felt eager. That was great. Feng Mei had this job, and their family could be said to have established themselves in Kyoto. Although they were such a big family and might not be able to save much money, at least they wouldn't have to burden their mother too much with food and drink.
When he is well again, he will find a job to supplement the family income. Even if he doesn't have a formal job, he can do manual labor. Then he will definitely be filial to his mother.
A look of understanding flashed in Su Qingci's eyes. Grandma should have asked Grandpa for help, otherwise, how could it be so easy to find a formal job in Kyoto?
What’s more, they are female workers in a textile factory, which is a big factory.
Even if someone happens to be selling their job, it won't be the turn of a family like the Su family. After all, there are many people in Kyoto who are not short of money.
However, each job is unique.
"Hairy-toothed woman, give me a hand. Come to my place for lunch. You're too lazy to cook by yourself."
Guo Xiaomao was about to refuse when he heard Li Yueniang say, "Didn't you buy a bunch of garlic shoots earlier? Bring them over and stir-fry the cured chicken."
When Guo Xiaomao heard that Li Yueniang was not polite to him, he became polite to her as well.
"Okay, I'll go get it now. Do you want more sauerkraut?"
"Pick up a bowl too. Oh, and give me your kitchen knife. Mine got the edge bent from stomping on a lamb leg the other day. It's so tiring."
"Oh, I see."
