Chapter 6 Which idiot is so generous?
"I saw that the fourth and fifth children were so skinny lately that they were just skin and bones, so I took them out and traded them for meat and rice."
Liu Cuilan obviously didn't believe it. Kerosene lamps were not rare items. You could buy one at the supply and marketing cooperative without a ticket. Who would be so stupid as to exchange their precious pork and rice for one?
She folded her arms, clutching a feather duster as she watched her performance: "Where's the meat and rice?"
"It's outside. I didn't bring it in because I was afraid of getting scolded."
"Okay, if you can bring me something, I promise not to scold you."
Su Xiaoxiao wiped her sweat and said, "I'll go right away."
As he spoke, he scurried out the door.
After leaving the courtyard, I went straight around to the west wall, looked around to see that there was no one around, and boldly opened the game interface and quickly browsed the mall.
Rice and fresh pork were soon found.
She now has 51.3 gold coins, fresh pork is 14 gold coins per pound, and rice is 10 gold coins per bag, which is five pounds.
After doing some calculations, she quickly placed an order for two kilograms of pork and a bag of rice.
Thinking that there would be nothing to light up at night, I bought two more candles.
With a ding, the purchase was successful, and the icons of the items she had just bought immediately appeared in the backpack list.
She reached out and clicked to use it, but in the blink of an eye, all the things she had just bought appeared in front of her.
The rice was packed in the same bags you see in supermarkets nowadays. For fear of arousing suspicion, she brought a cloth bag with her when she went out.
He unpacked the rice and poured it neatly into a cloth bag, then carried it on his shoulder. He picked up the candle and pork in his left hand and walked in.
Liu Cuilan was sitting in the main room, tapping her palms with a feather duster from time to time, which made Su Xiaoxiao frightened.
"Mom, I brought the things."
When Liu Cuilan heard this and saw Su Xiaoxiao holding so many things in her hands, she was completely stunned.
No, my girl, what kind of fool did I meet? Bah, a nouveau riche, who traded a one-dollar kerosene lamp for such old things.
When Su Xiaoxiao put down the bag of rice on her back, Liu Cuilan's eyes widened even more.
She was shocked enough just now because she thought her daughter had exchanged a kerosene lamp for two kilograms of pork, but she didn't expect that there was so much rice.
Su Xiaoxiao stuffed the candle in her hand into Liu Cuilan's hand: "Mom, that man gave me two more candles."
Candles are a rare commodity these days. Not only are they expensive, but you may not be able to buy them even if you have money.
Which idiot is so generous?
Liu Cuilan's face turned pale, and she grabbed Su Xiaoxiao's hand: "Dear girl, tell me the truth, did you rob her? Otherwise, who would be crazy enough to exchange such an old thing for your broken kerosene lamp?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Xiaoxiao heard a reminder of the account arrival in her mind.
He must be an idiot. Bah, the final payment for purchasing Wang’s kerosene lamp has arrived.
"Mom, don't worry. This is really a trade. He was pushing some old things and couldn't see clearly at night, so he exchanged it for me in a hurry."
At this time, the two little brothers came out of the room and saw so many things on the table. Their eyes widened: "Mom, have you made a fortune? You bought so much meat?"
In the past, the commune would only slaughter pigs on important festivals and give each family one or two pounds of meat.
If you want to eat meat, you either have to raise and kill the animals yourself, or go to the black market to get some meat tickets and buy them from the supply and marketing cooperative.
But since Su's father died, their family has been lucky to have enough food to eat, so they don't have any spare money to buy meat.
"Mom, mom, I want to eat braised pork."
The two little brothers pulled Liu Cuilan's arms and swung her.
"You two look like braised pork to me."
Liu Cuilan took them aside one by one and said, "No one is allowed to touch the meat and rice. Wait until your eldest and second brothers come back tomorrow before eating."
The two little brothers immediately became dejected.
For dinner, Liu Cuilan was unusually generous and took out some rice to make some rice porridge.
The only dish was pickled radish.
Su Xiaoxiao is a food anchor in modern times, and has gained millions of fans across the Internet by sharing food.
She had eaten all kinds of delicious food, but today, she was so decadent that she thought rice porridge with dried radish was so delicious.
The two little brothers' eyes also lit up, and they buried their heads in slurping their porridge, unable to stop at all.
It was as if the whole family was eating delicacies from land and sea.
Su Xiaoxiao sighed, looking at how ignorant these people seemed.
Thinking of this, she wiped her mouth with the back of her hand and pulled the last grain of rice in the bowl into her mouth.
The porridge cooked on the earthen stove is so delicious.
The next morning, Liu Cuilan went to work early, and Su Xiaoxiao was still responsible for taking her two younger brothers to school.
The three of them each had a sorghum steamed bun in their hands, chewing it dryly. When they arrived at the school gate, they happened to meet the little fat boy Li Jianguo.
Li Jianguo held a meat bun in each hand and ate it until his mouth was full of oil.
The three siblings looked at him eagerly, and Su Jianwu said, "Third sister, I want to eat meat buns."
Su Jianwen: "Third sister, I want to too."
Su Xiaoxiao stuffed the steamed bread into their mouths and said, "Hurry up and go to school. When my brothers come back in the evening, I'll make meat for you."
The two younger brothers' eyes lit up immediately: "Third sister, you are not allowed to lie to us."
"Don't worry, I promise you'll have meat tonight."
Su Xiaoxiao patted their shoulders and was about to leave when Su Jianwen suddenly called her, "Third sister, I forgot to tell you that the head teacher said yesterday that he wanted to meet our parents."
"What is it?"
They both shook their heads.
Su Xiaoxiao had no choice but to follow them to the teacher's office.
The teacher's surname was Liu. He was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his early forties. He wore a white shirt that was a little yellowed from washing and a pair of army green pants with several patches on the knees. He looked very simple and frugal.
Seeing them, he pushed his glasses with one leg missing and looked at Su Xiaoxiao: "Are you the parents of Jianwen and Jianwu?"
Seeing that it was a young and pretty girl, Teacher Liu frowned slightly.
"Hello, Teacher Liu. I am Jianwen and Jianwu's sister. What can I do for you?"
Teacher Liu looked at the two brats helplessly and told them to find a parent who could handle the matter. This sister didn't look much older than them.
Forget it, everyone is here, so this is the only way.
"Jianwen and Jianwu's tuition has been overdue for a month. I was wondering when you plan to pay it?"
Su Xiaoxiao was stunned when she heard this. Although her family was poor, Liu Cuilan was very concerned about her children's education.
I would spend all my money to pay tuition, even if it meant selling everything I had. How could I possibly have overdue tuition for such a long time?
She immediately looked at the two younger brothers, who quickly turned their heads away, looking as if they were guilty.
Su Xiaoxiao was furious. It seemed that these two brats were itching for trouble.
"Teacher Liu, don't worry. We will pay the tuition as soon as possible."
She smiled and repeatedly assured Teacher Liu, then left the office with her two younger brothers.
As soon as they walked out of the office, the two little brothers ran away.
Before he had run two steps, Su Xiaoxiao grabbed Fate by the scruff of the neck with one hand each.
"Where are you going?"
