"Uncle Chen, help me cut a pound of pork belly, just this piece."
"The girl from the Qian family is back. She's really good at choosing. This piece of meat is good."
As soon as he saw someone wanted to buy meat, Chen Laoer immediately smiled happily. He had been annoyed by this old lady Zhao early in the morning. She kept complaining about buying some meat, and he would lose money instead of making any money. He was not doing charity, so he just smiled and talked to Qian Muchue, ignoring old lady Zhao and started to cut with a knife.
"Chen Laoer, this piece of meat was chosen by me first, why are you cutting it for her?" When Old Lady Zhao saw Chen Laoer cutting the meat that she liked, she hurriedly stopped him. Her eldest grandson loved to eat this pork belly the most, otherwise she would not buy such expensive meat. She turned around and scolded Qian Muchue.
"Qian family girl, you are so young and don't know how to respect others. You stole the things of an old woman. Didn't your parents teach you that since you were a child? And you are a college student. This is something a college student can do."
Qian Muchue was scolded for no reason, but she didn't intend to argue with the old lady. Old Lady Zhao has always been unreasonable and takes advantage of her seniority. Once you get entangled with her, it will be difficult to get away. Either you are afraid of her or you are disgusting. Besides, given the current situation, someone will go and talk to her.
"Aunt Zhao, this piece of pork belly is the best from a pig, and it can't be cheap. Here, I'll give you 10 yuan for this piece of meat as a courtesy. I'll pack it up for you right now."
Sure enough, without waiting for Qian Muchue to speak, Chen Laoer spoke first. He also knew the temper of Old Lady Zhao, who would never let go unless she got some advantage. So he picked up a piece of meat on the chopping board. The color was not very good. It was obviously left over from yesterday. It was not worth much in itself, but the weight was enough. Chen Laoer simply did not weigh it and directly asked for 10 yuan.
Old Mrs. Zhao glanced at the meat with her small eyes, estimating that it weighed about two pounds and cost only 10 yuan, which was several times cheaper than the pork belly. She was very happy in her heart, but she still pretended to be serious, as if reluctantly.
"Well, I'm an old woman, I'm only asking for your favor. I won't argue with young people."
Old Mrs. Zhao was a typical example of someone who took advantage of others and acted ungratefully. Old Mr. Zhao ignored her, gave her the meat, collected the money, and turned around to talk to Qian Muchue with a smile.
"Qian girl, you are so filial. You bought such good meat for your grandma as soon as you came back. Aunt Qian is so lucky."
As Chen Laoer was talking, he did not delay his actions. With one cut, he cut a little over a pound of meat and charged Qian Muchue 20 yuan. Such good meat was much cheaper than in the city. Qian Muchue was very satisfied and thanked Chen Laoer with a smile.
Old Mrs. Zhao took the meat and stayed there, staring at Chen Laoer cutting the meat for Qian Muchue, fearing that Chen Laoer would charge her less. Seeing that the meat was only half as much as hers and cost 20 yuan, she felt pleased. Then she saw Qian Muchue going to the fish stall again, and she felt unhappy again. In her opinion, the old lady of the Qian family was very poor, but now she had fish and meat, and ate better than herself. Chen Laoer even praised the old lady of the Qian family for being blessed. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
"Poor old woman of the Qian family! She raised her son and granddaughter to live in the city and enjoy the best food and drink, leaving the old woman alone in the countryside. No one cares for her when she's sick or in pain. Life depends on fate. Old woman of the Qian family has a bad fate. Her children and grandchildren are unfilial, and her future is meaningless. Unlike me, I have my son, daughter-in-law, and grandson by my side."
Old Lady Zhao's words were sarcastic. Not to mention Qian Muchue, the people around her also felt uncomfortable after hearing them. What she said was too rude. She didn't hit people in the face, but exposed their faces in front of them without fear of being hated.
"My grandma can't compare to you, Grandma Zhao. Grandma Zhao is so old but still in such good health. Not only can she take good care of herself, but she also takes good care of Uncle Zhao's family. I can't bear to see my grandma suffer so much. When school starts, I will take my grandma back to the city and let her enjoy herself. I will hire a nanny to take care of her. This is fate. Some people are destined to work hard all their lives."
Qian Muchue is not a person who is afraid of trouble. It is no problem for her to say that her parents are rich, but it is also no problem for her to say that her grandmother has a bad life. Humph, who has a bad life? Qian Muchue was picking up a crucian carp, weighing it and paying for it, while talking softly, without any delay.
The people around laughed secretly when they heard Qian Muchue's words that were full of thorns. Old Mrs. Zhao's face turned blue with anger. She thought Qian Muchue was quiet and pretty and was easy to bully. She didn't expect the young man to speak so viciously. He really had no manners. Old Mrs. Zhao suffered a loss and couldn't think of how to get back at it. She went home angrily with the meat.
Qian Muchue ignored her after she finished speaking and happily bought a piece of tofu, thinking of making a good meal for Grandma Qian at noon. However, Chen Laoer was very curious whether Grandma Qian was really going to the city, so he asked a few more questions. Qian Muchue was not talking nonsense out of anger, but really wanted to take Grandma Qian back to the city, so he patiently answered one by one.
It took less than half an hour to go back and forth to buy groceries. When Qian Muchue returned home, Qian Xiaoya had already woken up and Grandma Qian was changing her diaper. In order to save money, Qian Xiaoya used the diapers made by Grandma Qian most of the time, so they had to be changed frequently. A row of Qian Xiaoya's diapers were already hanging in the yard.
After changing the diaper, it was time to feed the baby. Qian Muchue quietly put a drop of bone-shaping and soul-nourishing water in the warm water used to soak Qian Xiaoya's milk powder. Qian Muchue was still worried that Qian Xiaoya's body would not get enough nutrition after weaning her so early. But there was no way for her to get enough nutrition. There was too much to do. She prepared the milk powder according to the proportion. Qian Xiaoya, who was usually resistant to milk powder, cooperated very well this time and finished the bottle of milk in a short while. Grandma Qian was secretly amazed. Qian Muchue smiled. She was really a little smart girl who knew that something was good.
