Chapter 211 210. Growing up

Boss Tang offered 15 cents per pound for 422 pounds of vegetables.

Compared with the sky-high prices in the previous two months, the prices now seem to be much more affordable. This is not because Boss Tang offers a low price, but because it is already June, and the vegetables that every household has planted are almost ready to be picked.

The impact of the heavy rain with high pollution levels at the end of March is gradually decreasing, people's lives are getting back on track, and their diet is gradually returning to what it was before the disaster.

Zhou Qian was not very clear about the price of vegetables, but Huaiyu had been selling them all the time and experienced the ups and downs of the prices. At this moment, looking at the more than 6,000 points that had just been deposited into his account, he was extremely satisfied.

Zhou Qian casually walked around the store and finally pointed at the game: "Are you still buying this?"

It is also very convenient to charge it at his place.

Huaiyu hesitated for a moment: "Forget it!"

She really wanted to buy this when she didn’t have much money before, but now that her savings are approaching 20,000, she suddenly can’t bear to part with it.

Now that the deal was done, she was still thinking about the 30 kilograms of sugar, so she quickly pulled Zhou Qian and rushed to the grain and oil store.

I haven't been here for a while, and the grain and oil shop has put on a lot of new products, including several pots of soybean oil. However, due to the special nature of soybeans, the best variation value is around 16, which made Huaiyu frown.

As for rice noodles...

She looked at Zhou Qian and said, "Why don't we buy this in Jinyuan Community?"

They have to go to the hospital later, and it would be inconvenient to carry these with them.

Zhou Qian had never even been to a trading market, so what could he know? Naturally, he would just take Huaiyu's words as the truth.

However, it is not convenient to buy rice and flour, so sugar is still needed.

Huaiyu then asked, "Uncle, do you have any more sugar?"

The boss raised his eyelids and glanced at her, then looked at the tall and strong Zhou Qian beside him, and then responded: "Yes, there are 21 pounds and 4 ounces left. The 21 pounds are unopened, all good candies from six years ago, 8 cents per ounce, how much do you want?"

Hiss! This price really makes Huaiyu heartbroken.

But she calculated and gritted her teeth: "I want them all!"

"Do you have coarse salt? If you do, it will cost 30 kilograms." Summer is here, and she has to prepare the pickling and drying in advance.

The boss suddenly heard about a big deal and stood up quickly:

"Yes, yes, yes! You have good taste, little girl! I'll get it for you right away!"

…

After they left the store, Zhou Qian smiled and said, "You are willing to spend money on food."

I was reluctant to buy the game console at 2000 points, but I bought the sugar without hesitation at more than 1000 points.

Huaiyu touched her face beautifully: "I'm growing! And I'm growing quite fast. I'm a little taller than before."

Although the difference in the marks carved on the door is not obvious, it is really growing. If not, why did she add some more expensive nutrient solution this time when the nutrient solution is so unpalatable? I really want to grow up to be as tall, cool and handsome as Sister Shen Xing, punching a date... cough.

But the most important thing is to get more meat.

Huaiyu decided to go to the hospital to ask Chen Xing if there was any regularity in the convoy's return from the highway exit, otherwise she wouldn't be able to bear waiting there in the middle of the night every day.

And now——

Her toes pushed against the tight shoes. She was going to buy clothes and shoes!

Now that I have money, I won’t buy second-hand anymore! Zhou Qian carried the dozens of kilograms of salt and sugar she had just bought, and then looked at Huai Yu’s joyful figure. In a trance, he overlapped with the Zhou Ning in his memory who loved shopping and liked beautiful clothes.

He stood where he was, the warmth and softness in his eyes pouring down like sunshine, and then he strode forward.

…

But soon all the warmth and softness disappeared.

Zhou Qian stared at the bulging sack and the clothes, shoes and socks wrapped in plastic inside. Although it was not heavy to carry, his face was more tense than when he was weighed down by more than 400 kilograms of vegetables.

"Didn't you say that you were going to the hospital later and it would be inconvenient to carry so many things, so you didn't buy rice and flour?"

But now, the clothes, shoes and socks have filled a sack. Is this reasonable? "This is too much clothes!"

"Not much!" Huai Yu pulled up his T-shirt with grievance. He had worn it for several months and had been doing rough work. The good quality fabric had been worn out terribly: "I look like a beggar now."

She lifted her foot again: "My shoes are too small. Brother Zhou Qian, have you heard the story of mermaids? Every step a mermaid takes on land is like walking on the tip of a knife. If I don't buy some shoes, I will soon become a mermaid."

"Also, I'm growing, my breasts..."

The next moment, Zhou Qian pressed his palm hard on the top of her head, causing her to scream "ouch" and shut her mouth.

Zhou Qian had never taken care of a teenage girl like this before.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Zhou Ning often lived in the school when he was this old, and his parents were still at home at the beginning. He was at the base, while the other party had girlfriends and friends, classmates chattering, holding their phones to chase stars, watch TV, and shop online...

These things didn't worry me at all.

Now looking at Huaiyu's pitiful and cowardly appearance, he was helpless and had to carry the big bag and walk forward.

I wonder if I can leave these things at the front desk when I go to the hospital later...

——Of course you can let it go.

The familiar nurse was deeply impressed by the brother and sister.

Seeing Zhou Qian coming for a follow-up checkup, while arranging for him to put his things in the corner of the counter, he couldn't help but exclaim: "You look very healthy! You must have eaten well when you got home."

"And the scars on my face don't look that deep anymore, they look quite natural."

The nurse's praise was not random, but in today's world, who doesn't have some scars? Especially for the defense soldiers who have been through life and death, it is normal to have some marks on their faces and bodies. If the public did not accept him well, the aunt on the bus would not have started looking for a partner as soon as she saw him.

Zhou Qian thought about the food he had been having during this period - it was indeed quite good.

Looking at Huaiyu again, he felt a little embarrassed. He clenched his fist and put it to his mouth, then cleared his throat: "She... Xiaoyu is growing. What does she need to eat every day?"

The nurse laughed, then looked at Huaiyu and couldn't help laughing again: "Sister, you are growing up so fast!"

Apart from anything else, even if she wore loose and ill-fitting clothes before, you could still see her skinny body like a washboard. But now, after not seeing her for a while, not only has she gained some weight, but her figure has also become slightly curvier.

Although she is still thin and her complexion is not rosy enough, she is in good shape overall.

"Is it growing too fast?" the nurse said a little worriedly.

Huaiyu thought it was natural - she was actually in her twenties or thirties. Although she didn't know why she looked younger, it was normal for her to grow faster.

As long as it's not old, there will be no problem soon.

So he shook his head: "No, I'm fine."
