Seeing that the couple had both gone out, Xu Xiangyang followed them out.
Normally, the original owner didn't talk to other people at home, so the children at home didn't talk to him either.
After I went out, the food was brought up from outside.
"There's something wrong with these cabbages. Ten pounds are missing. Take four more." Wang Xiumin pointed at the cabbages on the ground and said something was wrong.
She cooks every day, so of course she knows roughly how much each cabbage weighs. One cabbage weighs a little over four catties, but these are small ones, about a little over two catties each. She knows something is wrong without even weighing it.
"What's going on? You're ten pounds short. That's all. Take it or leave it!" Old Mrs. Xu narrowed her eyes and refused to give it to him.
Xu Xiangyang stepped forward and stopped Wang Xiumin who was about to speak. "Mom, forget it. These ten kilograms of cabbage won't fill us up. Let's see how long they can eat these ten kilograms of cabbage."
Old Mrs. Xu was angered by his words, but she kept silent when she thought that she didn't have to pay.
Wang Xiumin felt sorry for this silly boy. He didn't know how expensive food and fuel were until he became the head of the household.
She wouldn't starve to death without these ten kilograms of cabbage, but with them she would have more food to eat for several days.
The words have already been spoken, there is no point in saying more.
The couple resigned themselves to their fate and carried the food back, and Xu Xiangyang followed behind them.
Xu Guangshan always felt that there was something wrong with the third brother's dog, but he couldn't remember what was wrong.
"Mom, if we separate them, the second son and the others will definitely have some thoughts, right?" Before going back, Xu Guangshan expressed his thoughts.
Old Madam Xu snorted coldly, "Give them a hundred guts! The third son's family is so sneaky and cunning, it would be better without them, but the second son's family is obedient, don't worry, they wouldn't dare."
As a mother, she knew the second son Xu Guangwen's family best. They were all losers and easy to control.
Since she said so, Xu Guangshan didn't say anything more. Anyway, with the old couple around, their Xu Xiangmin would definitely be able to finish college and marry a good wife.
Here, Xu Xiangyang followed the couple back, carrying dozens of cabbages in his hands.
This cabbage is really small. The cabbage I bought from farmers before was 30 cents per pound, and the largest cabbage weighed more than ten pounds.
This cabbage is probably the same as the cabbage core in later generations. It is so small and touching.
However, these things are definitely not enough for them to last until next year, at most they are enough for two months.
The Chinese New Year is only a month away, and there’s not even any white flour at home.
Xu Xiangyang was not worried about his future life. As long as he went to the city, he could use any excuse to bring back food and daily necessities for his family.
He cannot guarantee that everyone will have enough food and clothing, but he can ensure that everyone has enough to eat and wear.
After all, he had just arrived and his family suddenly became wealthy. Who wouldn't be overly curious?
The couple sat in the house, imagining Xu Xiangyang's future life as a city dweller, and suddenly felt that these things were not so little.
Xu Xiangyang couldn't help but pour a bucket of cold water on the two people, "Mom, don't think too much, temporary workers are not like regular workers, they can be squeezed out at any time."
The couple was stunned when they heard this. Before they could react, Xu Xiangyang said, "Besides, my grandfather didn't say what the job is. What if I can't do it?"
This was just to scare the couple. Even if he couldn't do it, he had to find a way out.
But now the couple is a little bit proud. He is really afraid that they will go out and talk nonsense, and then let the old couple of the Xu family know about it. What if they regret it?
"Don't talk nonsense." Wang Xiumin clearly felt that this was not going to work. She said, "If you can't do it, we'll starve to death if we wait any longer for food distribution."
"Yes, Goudan, you have to do a good job." Xu Guangtian was not very reassured. He originally thought this was a good thing, but now it seems that he hasn't even started working yet, so how can he know if it will work.
Seeing that they were a little panicked, Xu Xiangyang suddenly wondered if he had said too much.
The next second...
"If it doesn't work out, we'll move to your grandfather's place. It was your grandfather who put this together anyway." Xu Guangtian was thick-skinned and was now thinking about going to his father-in-law's house.
Wang Xiumin slapped him on the back and said, "Can you be more ambitious? Why does my father support you? If we have to go, I'll take Goudan with me! Just stay home and wait to starve to death."
Still wanting her father to support him? Dream on!
Xu Xiangyang held his forehead...
In order not to let down his grandfather, he has to work hard.
After the family of three finished their dinner, they began to discuss their future plans.
"I have to live in this house, but it's too inconvenient to live in the same yard with them." Wang Xiumin was depressed, but didn't know what to do.
Xu Guangtian didn't care. It didn't matter where he lived.
He crossed his legs and lay on the kang, saying, "Then where are we going to live? We don't have the money to build a house."
Building a house costs nothing except wood and stones, and the other expenses are about a few dozen dollars.
After all, houses nowadays are made of mud and no bricks or tiles are needed, but someone has to get these things. It’s impossible for all three of us to build a house, right?
Xu Xiangyang felt that the three of them could build a thatched hut, but it was impossible for them to live in it, unless they could play house in it.
Wang Xiumin was furious when she saw him act that way, but she didn't say anything. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Wait until spring to fence off the yard. We won't share the same yard with them."
Lao Xu's house has four rooms, one for each family, and there are also yards like this in the front and back yards.
His family went with the old couple, and in front of them were the families of Xu Lao Da and Xu Lao Er.
It would be fine to enclose the yard, since we have separated the family anyway.
The couple sat on the kang and talked for half the night, but Xu Xiangyang had fallen asleep long ago.
He felt that as long as he remained neighbors with this family, there would definitely be a lot of things to do in the future.
If you want to live a stable life, you must stay away from Lao Xu's family, otherwise you will have no peace.
The next morning, Wang Xiumin got up to cook. She just roasted a few potatoes.
Because there is no pot, this is the only way to eat.
"This won't do. It's okay to eat it for two meals, but won't I get heartburn if I eat it every day?" Xu Guangtian came out of the joy of the family division.
Before we split up the family business, we could still drink some barley porridge or something, but now we can't even drink hot water.
But you can’t buy the pot without industrial coupons. What can you buy without coupons these days?
Forget about tickets, their family doesn't have a penny.
Wang Xiumin wanted to share some money, but when the food was distributed, his family only asked for food and did not exchange it for a penny.
So even if she asked, I'm afraid Mrs. Xu wouldn't give it to her.
When the family was short of money, Mrs. Xu would take food to other people's homes to exchange for money.
"Tomorrow I'll go to my mother's house and get a clay pot to make do with. I don't cook or stew anything anyway." Wang Xiumin made the decision directly.
Now we don’t have the conditions to eat stir-fried dishes, so it’s good enough to have something to eat.
"Okay, I'll go to work first." Xu Guangtian clapped his hands, stood up and went out.
