Hu Xiaoman looked at the unread messages on his phone and then remembered that the owner of the fresh food store had just sent him a message.
But when I looked at the time, it was already yesterday.
I don’t know what’s going on!
She opened the message and took a look.
Fresh food shop owner: We have lamb this weekend. Do you want some? You can pre-order as much as you need.
mutton?
Hu Xiaoman's face suddenly lit up with joy, and she quickly made a phone call.
Because the news was from yesterday, if you really want to place an order, it would be more convenient to call.
The call was connected quickly, and Hu Xiaoman quickly asked if mutton could still be ordered.
"Sure, I can order them. My relatives back home have a lot of sheep to sell. Isn't Chinese New Year coming up soon?"
"If you need it, I'll leave some for you. How much do you want?"
Hu Xiaoman glanced at the kitchen area and said, "Give me two, slaughtered properly. Can you give me a discount?"
"I can give you all the sheep's offal, but I don't want the rest."
She doesn't like to eat those things, she only likes mutton.
Not only mutton offal, but other animals' offal are also rarely eaten.
The boss was stunned when he heard this request, but he agreed readily.
Hu Xiaoman transferred the money and then waited for the delivery tomorrow afternoon.
The two of them made an appointment, otherwise if she wasn't at home, the other person would have made a wasted trip.
She went back to the space to sort out her things and moved all her personal belongings into the apartment.
In fact, she had already decided to go out of town to buy food and then sell it for some money.
When the time comes, you will have enough money to buy things from this world and sell them in modern times.
Hu Xiaoman didn't have much money in his pocket, just over 500 yuan in total, which he had earned on the black market.
If you want to save more money, you have to trade things back and forth like this.
The next morning, she tidied the house and then started cooking.
She will go to work after New Year's Day, so she has to do these things well.
Hu Xiaoman knew in his heart that he had no one else to rely on and had to rely on himself for everything.
If you don't prepare everything in advance, you will be the one who is in a mess when the time comes.
There was only a small pot of ribs left from the previous meal, so she cooked two chickens and stewed potatoes.
I made some staple food, steamed buns and rice, as well as other side dishes.
What about stir-fried shredded potatoes, stir-fried cabbage slices, and radish slices...
It was already past two in the afternoon when I finished all this. I was really tired.
Hu Xiaoman wiped the sweat off his face and went to change his clothes.
If I take a shower now, I will catch a cold when I go out, so I have to wait until night to take a shower.
I just sat down to rest for a while when I heard someone knocking on the door.
She went out and opened the door, and Zhang Chunxia was standing at the door with an impatient look on her face.
"Are you deaf? You only heard me after knocking for so long!"
This person is still the same as always, never saying anything nice.
Hu Xiaoman looked at her coldly, "What's the matter?"
If he had known she was coming, he wouldn't have opened the door for her.
But when I think about this person's personality, he might even knock all the neighbors out.
In order not to disturb others and not to lose that person, she had to open the door.
Zhang Chunxia rolled her eyes and took out a roll of money from her pocket.
"Here's your two hundred dollars! You're so capable. Are you happy that I fought with your dad this time?" She said almost gritting her teeth.
Hu Xiaoman was standing opposite her and could hear the "crunching, crunching" sound of her back teeth biting.
But this doesn't scare me.
She said coldly: "I didn't say I was happy, but I am indeed happy for my dad. This time you can't step on his head and act wildly."
In fact, she would not feel anything about what happened to the Hu family.
Because she didn't grow up with this family and they didn't spend much time together, she really doesn't have any feelings for them.
They are said to be a family, but no one has ever put themselves in her shoes.
The original owner's job was also run with the help of her third brother Hu Xiaokang. Her family initially asked her to work as a temporary worker in a steel factory.
Was that job done by a lesbian? And the original owner was still a minor.
After spending that time together, Hu Xiaoman really couldn't put any emotional effort into it.
Just looking at Zhang Chunxia's current attitude, who could possibly dream of having a relationship with her?
Zhang Chunxia curled her lips when she heard her say that. "I shouldn't have someone like you. You're happy just messing around at home all day. Who shouldn't have someone in charge of things?"
"You think it's wrong for me to save money, right? You'll understand after you get married. Life is not easy for anyone."
She was angry. After all, they were a family. How could a child pick a fight with his parents?
It was because Hu Qinghai protected her that day, otherwise she would have beaten him up.
Hu Xiaoman didn't say anything. Everyone has their own way of living.
She doesn't comment on how others should live their lives, she just wants to take care of herself.
Zhang Chunxia felt that it was meaningless and the child would not listen to anything she said, so she simply stuffed the money into the child's pocket and left.
Hu Xiaoman looked at her back, feeling somewhat emotional.
But apart from the pension money she deserves, she won't take a penny more.
After all, the old couple has two sons, so no matter how it comes, it is not their turn to say anything or show filial piety to them.
Now that the money has been returned, she will not give it out again.
I earned it through hard work, why should I give it to them?
The money was given before for the purpose of having an independent household registration. Now this money is used as retirement money and can be received for several years.
Hu Xiaoman has never denied that she doesn't want to provide for others in their old age, but she will not pay less than a penny.
Just as she was about to close the door, she saw Lu Jianghe coming back and almost reaching the door.
"Brother Lu is off work." She greeted him from a distance.
Lu Jianghe walked over quickly and said, "I asked about the toilet issue, and the street office helped to handle it, but you have to deal with it yourself."
"It just so happened that a family's septic tank was blocked and they needed to expand the pipes."
Hu Xiaoman's eyes lit up when he heard this. This was really good news.
If the toilet can be properly handled, you don’t have to go to the space to use the toilet in the future.
This is so convenient.
"Don't be happy too soon." Seeing her happy look, Lu Jianghe couldn't bear to disturb her.
But what needs to be said must be said.
"The toilet project needs to be completed in the spring. The soil is frozen and can't be dug."
The groundbreaking ceremony must be after the spring. Although Hu Xiaoman has never built a house, he knows this.
She nodded and said, "I know, but it's okay to be happy in advance! Thank you, Brother Lu. If you hadn't asked, I'm afraid I would have to wait for you sometime."
Even if Hu Xiaoman went to ask, would the people in the street know who she was?
Not to mention not telling her, I guess she won't even bother to pay attention to you.
Lu Jianghe smiled rarely and then went back.
He thought that today he had solved something that made her happy.
It’s not all in vain.
