The original plan was to go to the health center and the meat processing plant first, but the cousin obviously had not had breakfast, so Xu Manman decided to go to the state-owned restaurant on the main street first.
I bought three fried dough sticks and four large meat buns at a state-owned restaurant. After thinking about it, I bought ten white flour buns. All this cost me only 0.92 cents.
I asked the waiter for oil paper to wrap it, took a detour to the health center and the meat processing plant to sign in, and then returned to the grain station.
First find Chen Ming in front and give him the oil paper bag containing fried dough sticks and meat buns.
"This? Manman?" Chen Ming's eyes widened as he looked at the paper bag in his arms that was still smelling of oil.
"Leave me a fried dough stick, and you eat the rest."
"I've had breakfast, you can keep these for yourself." Although he was very hungry, Chen Ming still felt that the good things should be saved for his cousin.
"You touch your nose when you feel guilty. After all these years, I still don't understand you. Eat quickly. I'll go to the back to deliver something." After saying that, Xu Manman turned around and left.
"Hey, Manman..."
Looking at his cousin walking away, Chen Ming felt helpless and happy.
The cousin said she would save some for her, so Chen Ming didn't touch it. He opened the oil paper package containing the meat buns and smelled the fragrance of the buns. Chen Ming felt even hungrier. He took a meat bun and took a bite. The aroma of the meat filling and the aroma of the white flour mixed together in his mouth.
The people around were smelling the meat buns and swallowing their saliva frantically. Behind Chen Ming, Wang Peng, an educated youth who went to the countryside two years before him, stared at the bun that Chen Ming was biting into, his heart full of envy. Why didn't he have such a good sister?
Xu Manman, in the middle of the team, found the five boys who came from her hometown as educated youth, walked over, and gave each of them two white flour buns.
Without waiting for them to speak, Xu Manman said directly, "You came here so early in the morning without having breakfast. Our village probably won't deliver grain until the afternoon, and I don't know when we can have a meal.
I was just buying breakfast for my cousin, so I brought it to you. Eat it, your health is important. I still have to go find my cousin." After saying that, he turned and left.
Although I am not the kind of person who does good deeds without leaving a name, it is not easy to deal with that kind of situation where people are pushing each other back and forth, so I just avoid it.
Li Mao was holding the steamed bun in his hand, and he hadn't reacted yet, "This..."
Zhang Yuan advised, "Li Zhiqing, it's okay. Eat. Xu Zhiqing is just like that. Just treat her to something nice some other day."
"Yes, yes." Yue Feng, who was standing by, nodded while biting a steamed bun. He was indeed hungry after walking all the way here.
Zhan Tianqi was also eating slowly beside him. Although he didn't say anything, his actions showed that this was a very normal thing.
Li Mao no longer had so much psychological burden, so he turned to Xue Mingxin and said, "Xue Zhiqing, if that's the case, then eat. Your health is important."
Xue Mingxin looked at the steamed bun in his hand, nodded, and picked it up to eat.
When Xu Manman returned, Chen Ming was already making his third meat bun. Xu Manman took the bag of fried dough sticks, took out one, and stuffed the rest back into his hand. Seeing that he had brought a water bottle, she didn't have to worry about him choking.
Biting the fried dough sticks, I realized that everything in this era is made with solid ingredients. Although it has been left for a while and the surface is not as crispy as when it is just out of the pan, it is still fragrant and oily, and is no worse than the ones I fried in my space.
Chen Ming wanted to give her a bun and a fried dough stick, but Xu Manman had already eaten a large bowl of rice noodles before leaving the space in the morning. Now she only ate a fried dough stick because she was greedy. She really couldn't eat any more, so she asked Chen Ming to finish them all.
After he finished eating it all, Xu Manman was still very impressed. You know, the meat bun was as big as Xu Manman's palm.
Seeing that there were not many people in front, Xu Manman estimated that it would soon be her cousin's turn. She did not leave but found a shady spot nearby and took out a little red book to pass the time.
Xu Manman hadn't read more than ten pages when Chen Ming came over empty-handed. "I've been waiting for a long time. I'm free now. Wherever you want to go today, I'll accompany you."
"I want to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to see if there is any wool, and then go to the post office to see if there is any letter."
Two sweaters have been knitted in the space. One is a bit crudely made, so Xu Manman keeps it for herself to wear. The other is relatively perfect, so Xu Manman plans to send it to her mother. After calculation, she needs to knit three more. She will give them to her aunt in the Southern Military Region, her younger aunt and her aunt who are also in Hai City. Because Xu Manman is the only girl in the younger generation, all the aunts, aunts and aunts love her as their own daughter.
The first package that was sent over contained military coats and cotton for making quilts and cotton-padded clothes, all of which were sent by my aunt. And the package that was sent over last time, in addition to the things my parents had saved up, many of them were sent by my aunt and uncle.
