Just as Jiang Manyue was about to enter the space to pick out some suitable things to send to her mother's house and find something to eat for herself, she heard someone knocking on the door.
Jiang Manyue opened the door and saw that it was Lu Jun'an. He seemed to have something hidden in his arms, which was bulging.
Lu Jun'an looked outside cautiously, making sure that he was not seen by Li Guifen and Lu Qingyou, and then went straight into Jiang Manyue's room.
"Auntie, please close the door. I brought you some food."
Lu Jun'an asked Jiang Manyue to close the door, then he took out a paper bag from his arms and put it on the table.
He opened the paper package and found the white sugar cake that Jiang Manyue had brought him last time.
"Aunt, I still have some white sugar cakes. Let's share them. You only eat a little at night, so you'll be hungry."
Lu Jun'an climbed onto the stool and sat down, pushing the white sugar cake towards Jiang Manyue.
Jiang Manyue was a little dazed looking at the white sugar cake, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.
She didn't expect that little Lu Jun'an was so considerate. Even though he wasn't full, he still thought of her and brought the remaining white sugar cake to share with her.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Jiang Manyue reached out and touched Lu Jun'an's head. "Auntie has some delicious food too. I'm just about to ask you to come and eat. Wait, I'll get it."
Jiang Manyue opened the wardrobe and pretended to rummage around inside for a while before taking out two pieces of meat floss bread.
The bread is from the baking section of the supermarket. It tastes very good, much better than white sugar cake.
Jiang Manyue handed the meat floss bread to Lu Junan and motioned him to take a bite.
Lu Jun'an didn't hesitate and took a bite.
After just two chews, he started laughing, his mouth was so full that he couldn't speak, and he nodded at Jiang Manyue, meaning that it was delicious.
Jiang Manyue finished eating the meat floss bread with him. Lu Junan was small, so he felt full after eating a piece of bread and couldn't eat anything else.
"Aunt, this cake is so delicious. I have never eaten it before."
Lu Jun'an touched his bulging belly and burped contentedly.
"If you like it, I'll buy it for you next time. But you can't always skip meals. If you don't eat, you won't grow taller."
Hearing this, Lu Jun'an's face turned bitter again, and he whispered, "It's not delicious. I don't want to eat it."
Jiang Manyue sighed. She couldn't eat the food cooked by Li Guifen either. Otherwise, she would try to go to the kitchen more often in the future.
She can just be responsible for cooking, making meals and washing dishes, and let her stepmother-in-law take care of it. This way she can be more relaxed and the family won't have to eat those unpalatable dishes every day.
Jiang Manyue, who originally didn't want to go into the kitchen too often, had to change her original idea. Anyway, she didn't do other housework, so it was acceptable for her to go to the kitchen and cook a few dishes.
"Auntie has something to do tomorrow and won't have time to cook. How about taking you to Grandma Jiang's house for dinner? Eat with your brother Jiang Hong and the others."
Lu Jun'an wanted to go have dinner with his friends, but he didn't dare to agree because he was afraid that his grandparents would not agree.
"It's okay. I'll go talk to your grandparents. You can come back with me for dinner tomorrow night."
Lu Jun'an happily agreed and was led by Jiang Manyue back to the old couple's room.
Li Guifen was no longer surprised to see the two of them coming together, but she was still a little surprised when Jiang Manyue said she wanted to take Jun'an back to her parents' home for dinner.
After being surprised, she felt sad again.
She was not stupid. She had seen how Jun An and Jiang Manyue behaved at the dinner table today. Both of them had hardly eaten anything, and it was obvious that they did not want to eat the food she cooked.
Originally, Jiang Manyue often went back to her parents' home for dinner, and now she even wants to bring Jun'an over for dinner. It's obvious that she dislikes her cooking.
"Well, Jun'an wants to eat with Jiang Hong and the others. Kids like to eat everything together."
Jiang Manyue tried to explain a few things, but Li Guifen waved her hand and said, "I know. Wait a minute."
Li Guifen took out a box from the closet, opened it, took out a few tickets and handed them to Jiang Manyue, "You took Jun'an back for dinner, and you should also bring something back. Your parents' life is not easy either."
Jiang Manyue took a look and saw that there were three taels of meat coupons, one tael of oil coupons, and one cloth coupon, which was probably enough to make a piece of clothing for a child.
It was given by her mother-in-law, and Jiang Manyue took it without hesitation. "Thank you, Mom. I will give these to my mother tomorrow."
Li Guifen nodded and urged her back to the house. "Okay, it's getting late. Go back and rest early."
Jiang Manyue waved to Lu Jun'an with a smile and went back to the house.
Looking at the tickets, Jiang Manyue felt that Li Guifen, her cheap mother-in-law, was actually quite generous. She just wanted to take Jun'an back for a meal, but she gave her three tickets, all of which were useful.
It was just right that I could give these tickets to Miao Xianghua, add ten dollars to my bill, and then go to the supermarket to find some things to send over.
Jiang Manyue doesn't have many tickets left. She has mostly food tickets, and not many food tickets and stamps that she can use seriously.
After all, food coupons and stamps are things that can be used at home, and Li Guifen would never give them to Jiang Manyue.
Even if she had one or two food coupons, she would have spent them on meals at state-owned restaurants. Now Jiang Manyue doesn't have a single one on hand.
However, the Jiang family was not short of food coupons. There were many laborers in the family and they earned a lot of work points. They could eat enough, but they couldn't eat much.
There wasn't much delicious food at home usually. The malted milk that Miao Xianghua had made for Jiang Manyue was actually bought by Jiang Manyue herself and hidden at her mother's house.
As long as Jiang Manyue sends some meat and oil, it will be more reliable than anything else.
After entering the space, Jiang Manyue picked out a large bundle of sausages and a piece of vacuum-packed bacon, and finally turned her attention to the canned meat.
This is enough for the Jiang family to have several meals. Considering Miao Xianghua's frugality, it will probably take them half a month.
As for the source of these, Jiang Manyue planned to tell Miao Xianghua directly that she found them at the black market in the county town, and ask her to eat them quickly, not to make a sound, and not to let anyone find out.
After she said that, Miao Xianghua definitely didn't dare to eat slowly, and could only finish the food quickly to avoid being discovered.
Jiang Manyue was very satisfied with the idea she came up with. It not only found a reasonable source of supplies for herself, but also prevented Miao Xianghua from keeping the food and eating it slowly. No matter how reluctant she was, she had to eat it quickly, otherwise if she was discovered, Jiang Manyue would be in trouble.
The next morning, Jiang Manyue brought a basket from home and went to a small courtyard in the county town, where she was busy packing canned food.
She was busy until the afternoon before she finally finished processing the cans and piled them all in the room.
After processing the cans, Jiang Manyue took out the basket, put all the prepared things in it, and then put the whole thing back into the space.
When she was almost at the entrance of the production team, she found a secluded corner, took out the basket, and covered it with a layer of cloth.
Jiang Manyue went straight back to her parents' home and saw Miao Xianghua preparing to cook. She pulled her aside and showed her what was in the basket.
"You, where did you get it from? How can you have so many prostitutes?"
Miao Xianghua didn't dare to imagine how much these things were worth, let alone how Jiang Manyue got so many things.
