Chapter 270: Someone is looking for my sister-in-law
After washing up, Song Shiwei also sat down at the table to eat breakfast.
For breakfast, Liao Xiaocao also made a simple meal, just cooking a big pot of thick cornmeal porridge.
It smells delicious.
She made a few fried pancakes, took some of the leftover broth from last night, and stir-fried some cabbage.
Because of the broth, the fried cabbage is very fragrant.
Several children ate the fried cakes with oil in their mouths.
She made these meals based on what was in the kitchen. In fact, it would be best to fry some eggs for pregnant women and children, but she didn't dare to for fear that Song Shiwei would be unhappy.
Only two boiled eggs were cooked for Song Shiwei.
Seeing the two eggs, Song Shi smiled and placed the eggs in front of Xinxin and Zhou Wei: "Xiaocao, from now on, eggs and meat, do whatever you want. When you're done, we'll buy more!"
Zhou Lin took a big bite of the pancake and nodded: "That's right, Sister Xiaocao, you don't have to be so reserved in our house!"
Zhou Cheng also nodded: "Yes, you, just treat it as your own home!"
Xiaocao bit her lower lip. This was different from her own family. At her own home, she had no say. Her mother would criticize her whether she did a good job or not.
Sometimes when you are still not satisfied, you have to use the broom to beat.
But here, no one hits her or scolds her, not even anyone yells at her!
Liao Xiaocao likes this kind of family atmosphere very much.
She took a bite of the cake in her hand and nodded: "I'll remember it, Sister Weiwei!"
After breakfast, Liao Xiaocao moved a stool for Song Shiwei to sit at the gate of the yard to bask in the sun.
She started cleaning the house inside and out.
Xinxin, Zhou Wei and others ran out to play.
Zhou Cheng walked up to Song Shiwei, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Song Shiwei was squinting her eyes to bask in the sun, and was startled when she suddenly saw him.
"You scared me, little brat. What's wrong with you?"
It was so rare to see the struggle on Zhou Cheng's face. Thinking that this child was a thoughtful person, Song Shiwei couldn't help but sit up.
I thought to myself, could it be that since I haven't talked to him for some time, this kid has something on his mind again?
That won’t do!
I just wanted to give him some good advice.
Zhou Cheng hesitated and said, "Mom, do we have any new cotton-padded clothes? Or, do you have any old clothes that you don't wear?"
Song Shiwei was stunned.
"New cotton-padded clothes? Old clothes? Are your clothes torn?"
She thought that it seemed like each of the children had several sets of clothes this winter! There shouldn't be a shortage of clothes to wear, right?
Shen Xiu'e even bought all the spring clothes for them.
Even her Shen Xiu'e had several sets of clothes custom-made for her, enough for her to wear until she gave birth!
When he heard her question, Zhou Cheng's face suddenly turned red, but soon turned pale.
He stammered, "I, I saw Sister Xiaocao sitting in the living room sewing clothes last night. The clothes she brought were all tattered and almost unwearable. She was particularly afraid of being discovered using our needlework and thread, afraid that you would be angry. When she saw me coming out, she was so scared that she pricked her hand..."
Song Shiwei frowned immediately.
"You pricked your hand? Are you okay?"
Zhou Cheng shook his head: "It's just some bleeding, it's okay, but her clothes are really unwearable. I think they are even more torn than those of the poorest family in Xiao Cui's village. A shirt has several holes on the back of the elbows and collar! Mom... So, I thought..."
"So that's why you asked me if I had any new cotton-padded clothes or any unused clothes so that you could give them to her, right?"
Zhou Cheng met Song Shi's smiling eyes.
He nodded somewhat embarrassedly.
Song Shiwei thought for a moment and said, "Go and call your Aunt Meimei! She is in charge of the group purchase in the family compound. I asked her to order a few more pieces of clothing!"
When Zhou Cheng heard this, he was immediately happy.
"Okay, Mom, I'll go right away!"
After a while Sun Meimei came over.
"Weiwei, are you looking for me?"
Song Shiwei told her about asking her to buy clothes.
"I need a set of cotton-padded clothes and two sets of replacement spring clothes..."
Thinking of Xiaocao's cloth shoes that had been patched up several times, he murmured, "Add a pair of size 38 Jiefang shoes!"
Song Shiwei originally wanted to buy her a pair of white shoes that all little girls like, but thinking that she would definitely not be willing to wear them when she was working, it would be better to buy her a pair of sturdy and durable Jiefang shoes!
And judging from the size of her feet, they should be similar to mine. Song Shiwei wears size 37, but nowadays, it’s more common to buy larger shoes rather than smaller ones.
If you buy a bigger shoe, you can add an insole. If you buy a smaller shoe, you really can’t wear it.
She also didn't let Zhou Cheng ask her what size she wore. After all, if he asked, the shy girl would definitely not accept it!
Sun Meimei followed her gaze and understood instantly.
"Oh, so it was bought for your babysitter! You know what, this girl is so lucky to be able to work in your house! I envy her!"
This made Song Shiwei so angry that he slapped her.
"You envy her?"
Sun Meimei chuckled: "No, no, no, I don't envy anyone. Now I can make money with you, I'm so happy, so many people envy me!"
She was right in saying this. Who in the entire family compound didn't envy her and Wang Chunxiang and the others?
Of course, she is especially important, because she follows Song Shiwei in doing business and earns more money every month than Mr. Zheng in their family!
We had meat for every meal at home, and even Shi Tou was envied by other children!
What else could she not be satisfied with!
For their group purchase, usually after you sign up for it, the goods will be delivered the next day.
Therefore, Song Shiwei did not mention this to Liao Xiaocao, thinking of giving her a surprise tomorrow.
After she finished her work, Song Shiwei began to think about what to eat for lunch.
I haven’t eaten all the cat’s eye snails I picked up yesterday.
She just asked Xiaocao to pick out the cat's eye snails.
Then I heard someone shouting at the door: "Sister-in-law, someone is looking for you!"
Song Shiwei went out and saw that it was Zhou Lianhai who came with his men.
The soldier on duty saw that they really knew each other and went back with peace of mind.
Zhou Lianhai rubbed his hands happily: "Comrade Xiao Song, I wonder what the new dish recipe you mentioned is?"
He was worrying about the restaurant business during this period, but after the Chinese New Year, many individual businesses were opened.
Restaurants that were previously nationalized have also returned to private hands.
Their prices are lower than theirs, and although the food may not taste that good, it still attracts a lot of people.
Today, he heard the little girl say that Song Shiwei had a new dish recipe to sell to him!
He was so happy that he didn't care about anything else. He arranged the staff and rushed over without stopping.
Song Shiwei thought he would come, but didn't expect him to come so soon.
Hearing his question, she smiled and invited him into the house.
Manager Zhou was anxious: "Comrade Xiao Song, we won't go in. Do you have a new recipe? Please tell me first. I'm so anxious!"
Song Shiwei couldn't help laughing: "Yes, I know you are anxious, but the ingredients for this new recipe are in the house. If you don't come in, how can I let people see it!"
