Chapter 84



There are two rooms. The larger one is used as a bedroom, where you can study with a desk and two chairs. The smaller one is a bathroom. To be honest, when Jiang Li saw the squat toilet and shower room, she breathed a sigh of relief.

If she really has to go to a public toilet in such cold weather, I'm afraid she won't be able to accept it.

After a quick cleanup, the two locked the door and went out to buy some daily necessities. Furniture and other items could be brought from the countryside, and the rest could be bought in the city.

When going out, a shadow flashed by and almost knocked Jiang Li down. Fortunately, Qi Shaoqiang was quick to pull her out.

Jiang Li took a quick look and saw that it was a boy of about seven or eight years old. His clothes were neat but dirty. He didn't apologize after bumping into Qi Shaoqiang, but glared at Jiang Li and Qi Shaoqiang.

An old woman came out from behind the boy. She acted as if she didn't see her child bumping into her. As she passed by, she looked Jiang Li up and down, asking as if she was checking her household registration, "You two have just moved here, right? From the country? How many people are there in your family?"

Jiang Li had a bad impression of this family and took Qi Shaoqiang away.

The old woman even muttered behind his back, "What an uneducated bastard, he doesn't even respond to the elders' words."

Her hostility was not without reason. Before Qi Shaoqiang moved in, she had set her eyes on these two rooms.

Her family had many children, seven people squeezed into two rooms, and had no place to sleep at night. The two rooms were originally occupied by a family surnamed Wu, but the man got fired from the factory for committing a crime at work and was sent to labor reform, so the rest of the family moved back to the countryside.

Her family had lived here for more than ten years, and the two rooms of the Wu family should have been allocated to them. However, they did not expect that they would suddenly appear and be occupied by them.

"Humph, this woman looks like a vixen. You can tell she's restless at first glance. She'll steal my body sooner rather than later!"

"Mom, I'm back with lunch," said a woman in a white uniform, carrying two aluminum lunch boxes, her face showing an unconcealable fatigue.

Noticing that the two rooms next door were locked, Fang Fang took a look curiously, "Did the family next door move in? What's going on?"

"They are not very old, and it is obvious that the woman is not a quiet person. The man is also young, and I guess he is just an ordinary person."

Old Mrs. Luo was very disdainful, because she was a team leader in the factory, in charge of a production line.

Once they know their identities, this family will rush over to give them gifts and curry favor with them. Then they will have to teach them a lesson, for they let them take their things. Pah!

The boy who had just bumped into me ran in from the door and ate the meat in his lunch box without washing his hands.

"Huzi, why didn't you go to school yesterday?" Fang Fang frowned, "Who taught you to eat the food on the table without washing your hands?"

"Still, it's not right to go to school for three days and then rest for two days. You must go to school next day."

"The child is hungry. Let him eat if he wants. He is growing up now." Old Mrs. Luo didn't see the problem at all. When Fang Fang turned around to pick up the bowl, she pouted quietly, "Your mother is just pretending to be clean. Besides, your eldest grandson is smart even if he doesn't go to school. Your father doesn't go to school either, but he still takes over your grandfather's job."

Li Xiaohu was held in the arms of Grandma Luo, making faces at Fang Fang, but his grandmother still felt sorry for him, "Mom is a bad guy!"

Before dinner was served, Xiao Xing, who had just turned one year old, peed. By the time Fang Fang changed the diaper and fed the child, there was only a little food left on the table.

Fang Fang ate the leftovers as usual, then told her eldest daughter Xiaotao to clear the table and dishes before hurried off to work.

When they came out, Qi Shaoqiang had already obtained a letter of introduction from the brigade, and had sorted out the food and oil books and the non-staple food books, and the two of them went to buy vegetables and coal.

As luck would have it, the grocery store had just received some pork fat, so Jiang Li bought a large piece and asked for two pounds of spare ribs, preparing to go home and make pork ribs with preserved plum sauce.

The two of them were chatting and laughing as they carried their things home. From a distance they saw the old woman they had met in the morning wandering around the door. When she saw the large piece of pork fat, her eyes lit up.

He rushed forward and stretched out his hand, "This neighbor is so polite, he even bought meat for us! Hey, why didn't he buy some fat meat when he bought such skinny ribs?"

Qi Shaoqiang pulled his hand back, and Mrs. Luo's hand holding the meat missed. She stared at him in surprise, "You can just take it home yourself."

"Old lady, you are thicker than the pork skin you just bought. Why don't you go to the supply and marketing cooperative to grab some meat?" Jiang Li said bluntly.

"Isn't this meat for your family? You two are new here and have no manners at all. It's polite to give gifts to your neighbors when you just moved in. How can you be so uncultured?" Old Lady Luo's matter-of-fact look made Qi Shaoqiang laugh.

"Do you think the food factory is your mountain? Do you think you are the king? People who come in have to bow to you!"

"You are so old, yet you still do such a shameless thing!" Jiang Li added, making Old Lady Luo's face turn blue with anger. "You two have dirty mouths and are disrespectful to your elders. You are cursed!"

After two big slaps in the face, Mrs. Luo was dumbfounded. Jiang Li started fighting just because they had a disagreement.

"If you say another word, I'll slap you twice more."

Normally, when Old Mrs. Luo met someone soft, she would definitely give them a squeeze, but when she met someone as tough as Jiang Li, she backed off.

She covered her face and glared at Jiang Li fiercely, slammed the door, and started cursing softly in the room.

Jiang Li ignored this and instructed Qi Shaoqiang to wash the pork fat and cut it into small pieces to make oil.

The ribs were stewed, and the aroma filled the entire corridor, and even people who had just got off work could smell it.

Next door, Xiaohu was pestering Fangfang, who had just gotten off work, and he wanted to eat meat. Fangfang refused, so Xiaohu kept rolling on the ground. Old Mrs. Luo yelled at Fangfang, "The child is growing, so what's wrong with cutting some meat for him?"

Fang Fang was also helpless when facing her mother-in-law, "It's already the end of the month, where can we get the meat coupons at home?"

"This family next door is really something. They eat meat and let others watch. They just eat it, but they deliberately make it smell so good! Ugh!"

Old Mrs. Luo's eyes rolled around, and she pulled up Li Xiaohu who was rolling on the ground, "Go and see if the door is open. If it is, you can eat at the table. How much can a child like you eat? If they don't give you anything, you can cry."

Li Xiaohu was originally howling, and he rushed out after hearing this. However, Jiang Li's door was locked, so he was unwilling to give in and slammed the door.

"Li Xiaohu, you're asking for food at home. You're so shameless!"

The person who spoke was a little girl with two ponytails. She was holding a bowl of radish meatballs in her hand and glaring at Li Xiaohu.

They knocked on the door again, but the girl was much more polite. When Jiang Li opened the door, she saw a round-faced girl who smiled and handed the bowl to her, "Auntie, my name is Xue Yingzi, and my mom asked me to bring this to you.

놖 lives to the right of your house. 놖's mom said that we are neighbors. If you have any problems in the future, just let me know. You can find 놖 or 놖's mom. "
