"What's wrong?" Liu Liang put down her pen.
Liu Lele crossed his fingers, feeling quite embarrassed.
"Liu Jing, your mother's cooking is delicious. Can we..."
"Okay," Liu Jing took over before she finished speaking, "I'll bring some more tomorrow, enough for you to eat."
Liu Lele's eyes lit up, and then she took something out of her pocket and stuffed it directly into Liu Liang's hand.
"You must not refuse!" Liu Lele puffed up his face. "This is my meal money for today. I can't eat your food for free. If you don't accept it, how can I eat tomorrow? I feel like I didn't give enough. I can't even afford ribs outside."
Liu Liang opened her hand, which contained three dollars.
That’s it. She put the three dollars in her schoolbag and would bring her more tomorrow. After all, she wouldn’t let Liu Lele suffer any loss.
After leaving school, Liu Jing did not go home first. She went to a large vegetable market not far from the school to see if there was any milk for sale there. Drinking a cup of fresh milk every day would make her health better.
She walked around the market and bought some cheap and delicious vegetables. She even bought a fish on sale. The fish had just died, as its tail moved. It was only a blink of an eye before the fish died. Liu Jing bought the fish for two yuan. Usually, a fish like this would cost five or six yuan, but now she spent less than half of that money to buy a big fish. This big fish was enough for her and her daughter to eat for several days. Now that they had a refrigerator, the fish could be kept for a longer time, and they could eat braised fish fillets tomorrow.
Liu Jing happily carried the fish and looked for it as she walked. She remembered that milk was sold in the local vegetable market.
She looked for it for several times but couldn't find it, and she was unwilling to give up, so she asked a stall owner when she was buying vegetables.
Yes, the stall owner said as he weighed the vegetables for Liu Liang, "There are three stalls in the alley at the end. They still squeeze out fresh milk, but it tastes a bit fishy."
When Liu Liang heard that there was milk, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly followed what the vegetable stall owner said and found the path. Sure enough, before she arrived, she could already smell a strong smell of milk.
When she came out of the vegetable market, she was already holding a bunch of things in her hands, including the big fish and a large glass bottle containing two kilograms of milk.
And it's very cheap, less than one yuan per pound, and only one yuan and eighty cents per two pounds.
Processed milk may be more expensive, but this kind of milk is squeezed out and is very cheap. Just like what the vegetable vendor said, it has a fishy smell, and the smell is very strong, so it is sold cheaply.
Liu Liang bought two kilograms without thinking, which was enough for tonight and tomorrow morning.
When we arrived at her house, it was still very quiet outside the tube-shaped building, and few people had returned. Almost all the people living in the tube-shaped building were from the same factory, with the exception of Zhou Lanping who was a teacher. Therefore, the time for others to return was very fixed. If they wanted to return, everyone would return together. If they didn't, it would be rare and quiet.
Lifting the big fish in her hand, Liu Liang's lips curled up slightly.
Until her steps paused slightly, she took back the steps that were originally moving forward, and then looked at the little boy who was sleeping against the door.
The family's surname is Ma, and they are the ones she dislikes the most in the tube-shaped building. They are gossipy and talkative. Liu Liang dares to say that more than half of the things in their family are heard from the Ma family.
