Chapter 2204: Bragging
"Can Aunt Chen take so much food by herself?"
"Of course. Don't look at my mother's frailty, but she is much stronger than my father. Two hundred kilograms of food is nothing to her."
Lu Xiaoxiao found it a little hard to believe what Zhang Aihua said, because Chen Zhenzhen was only about 1.5 meters tall and didn't look like she weighed more than 100 kilograms. Could such a thin body really carry 200 kilograms of food?
"Mom, I'm here, come here quickly." Zhang Aihua saw Chen Zhenzhen carrying two bags of food and immediately shouted to Chen Zhenzhen.
After hearing Zhang Aihua's shout, Lu Xiaoxiao looked in the direction Zhang Aihua was looking, and then she completely believed what Zhang Aihua said.
Because she saw Chen Zhenzhen carrying two large bags of grain and walking very fast, faster than the men who passed by her carrying one bag of grain.
"Mom, you take a rest. I'll go buy the groceries." Zhang Aihua said after handing Chen Zhenzhen a handkerchief.
"Okay, I'll wait for you here, hurry up."
"Got it, Xiaoxiao, do you want to go buy groceries with me?"
"No need, I'll come back to buy the groceries in a few days, you go now."
"good."
After Zhang Aihua went to buy food, Chen Zhenzhen said to Lu Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, you must be exhausted."
"It's okay, I just got stepped on a few times, and my toes still hurt a little bit now."
"It's good that you were only stepped on a few times when you came to buy food for the first time. When Ah Hua came to buy food with me for the first time last year, she was pushed and fell to the ground. Fortunately, she was wearing a scarf, otherwise she would have knocked out two of her front teeth."
After hearing what Chen Zhenzhen said, Lu Xiaoxiao finally understood why Zhang Aihua had reminded her so seriously not to be squeezed out. It turned out that Zhang Aihua had experienced it herself.
"Auntie Chen, do we have to buy food on the first of every month?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked Chen Zhenzhen.
"Yes, you have to buy it on the first day of every month, because only on this day of the month is there the most and most complete food. If you want to buy food at other times, you can only rely on luck."
"I didn't expect life in the city to be so difficult. I used to hear people in the village say that life in the city was so good and that there was always enough food. But now it seems that it is not like what they said at all."
Chen Zhenzhen burst out laughing after hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, and then she said to Lu Xiaoxiao: "Don't believe those nonsense that are passed around. Those are just bragging by city people when they go to the countryside to show off. Don't take them seriously."
"I know, but it seems that everyone in the village believes it."
"There are too many people bragging. Even if what they say is false, people will mistake it for the truth. If the lives of city dwellers are really as good as they say, there wouldn't be so many people starving to death, and there wouldn't be so many families with more than ten people crammed into a small house."
"Mom, what are you and Xiaoxiao talking about? Why do you look so unhappy?" Zhang Aihua came back from buying groceries and saw that Chen Zhenzhen and Lu Xiaoxiao looked unhappy, so she asked.
"Nothing much. Have you bought all the side dishes?"
"Except for black fungus and dried shrimps, I bought everything else."
"Let's go home. I'm exhausted after a night of tossing and turning. Now I just want to go home and have a good sleep."
"Mom, you probably won't be able to sleep. Grandma asked you to kill the old hen we raised at home, saying that she would stew it to nourish Dad and Grandpa."
