Chapter 267, Plan
Mei Xue was too lazy to leave them. She felt novelty for a while, and it was normal for children to make noises, but she might get annoyed after a while.
"Jiaojiao, drink some water." Mei Xue poured a glass of water and handed it to He Jiaojiao.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
While talking to He Jiaojiao, Mei Xue sorted out the things she brought yesterday.
Only after everyone's belongings were put in the room did she feel truly liberated.
"It's noon. Jiaojiao, let's have lunch here today." Mei Xue looked at her watch and it was really late.
"Okay, sister-in-law, let me help you." He Jiaojiao is not a pretentious person. As a mother, she has more work to do. It is not like when she was in the village, where her mother and grandmother would do everything for her.
"That's great. You are familiar with Zhou Zhuan, right? Then let's go out and buy some vegetables." There happened to be no vegetables at home.
"Yes, I know it. I asked around here and finally bought a house here." If she wasn't familiar with it, she wouldn't have bought a house here.
"That's fine. We just happen to be short of food at home. You can take me to get familiar with it."
Just like that, He Jiaojiao took Mei Xue for a walk around the area.
She felt very relieved to leave the child in the care of the third grandmother. She also brought a bottle with her, so she was not worried that the child would be hungry. Besides, the child was still asleep.
The two little ones wanted to go along, but Mei Xue had a lot of things to buy, such as rice and so on, so she didn't bring any of them. But we agreed to take them out to play in the afternoon.
"Look, sister-in-law, this is a small market. You can buy anything you want here. Don't underestimate its small size. It has everything."
He Jiaojiao brought Mei Xue to a passage just outside the factory.
There is not only this factory here, there is also a charcoal factory, a hemp rope factory, and so on.
The most famous one is the cannery, which is the largest factory, and their house was bought from the cannery.
"Turning left across the street and walking for about ten minutes, there is a supply and marketing cooperative. It's not as big as the one in the center of the county town, but you can still buy the things you need on a daily basis there."
He Jiaojiao told Mei Xue everything she knew, and Mei Xue listened carefully.
It is 1989 now, and people have long been able to do business freely. For example, in the passage there is a market organized by vendors themselves.
A bit messy, but very clean.
After Mei Xue bought everything she needed, she went home with He Jiaojiao.
At noon, those who work come back to make lunch or go home to rest. Along the way, I met quite a few people.
Of course, some people will talk about them behind their backs, but that doesn’t matter.
Some of the middle-aged women were very enthusiastic. When they saw Mei Xue and the other girl carrying so many things, they all came forward to lend a hand.
Since she didn't know them, Mei Xue politely declined. However, He Jiaojiao chatted and laughed with these people.
Even when she got home, He Jiaojiao was still praising these aunties.
Mei Xue couldn't understand. Could it be figured out from just these few sentences?
"Grandma, we're back." As soon as she opened the door, Mei Xue shouted into the house.
Because she saw no one in the living room.
"Mom, auntie, you're back. My little brother was crying and looking for mom just now." Xiao Cheng ran out of his wife's room quickly and said.
"Oh, is the little brother not crying now?" He Jiaojiao immediately put down what she was holding and asked when she heard her son crying.
"No, he fell asleep again. My wife said that my little brother was scared." Xiao Cheng said with an unhappy look on his face.
Mei Xue also put down what she was holding. "Someone is coming?" she asked nervously.
"No, there was a quarrel downstairs just now, and my little brother was frightened by the sound of the door." Xiao Cheng said as he imitated.
Hearing that no one was coming, Mei Xue felt relieved, "You can go and see the child first, I'll be alone in the kitchen."
I know she's worried about the kids.
"Then I'll trouble you, sister-in-law." He Jiaojiao was indeed a little worried about the child.
Mei Xue pulled Xiao Cheng into the kitchen.
Because they bought some cooked food, lunch was late today, so she took out some meat for him to eat.
"Tell your brother to come out and eat something."
Put the food on a plate and put it on the table, then asked Xiao Cheng to call Xiao Peng.
"Oh, I'll go right away." On the way, he did not forget to take another piece of meat from the plate.
The coal burned here is honeycomb coal. There are two stoves, one for cooking and the other for frying vegetables.
An hour later, a table of delicious food was served.
Mei Xue specifically asked He Jiaojiao whether the child had started eating meat. After learning that the child had started eating meat, Mei Xue made a big bowl of egg custard for the child.
It’s just right for three children to eat together.
These vegetables were bought outside, and Mei Xue added some space water to them.
Not only did the fragrance come up, but the smell also spread out.
Everyone had a full stomach after the meal. He Anze didn't come back at noon, so maybe something happened in the convoy.
Mei Xue left some food for him, fearing that he would come back late.
"Third Grandma, how long do you plan to stay this time?" After Grandma He had eaten and drunk her fill, she wanted to find company.
"I don't know, but I guess I'll have to stay here for a long time." Grandma He said with a sad heart.
If possible, she really didn't want to live here. It was really not as good as the village.
Mei Xue knew what her grandmother was thinking, but since there were outsiders around, she didn't say much.
"We'll go back after Li Fei gets married." Mei Xue gave a positive answer.
"Ah, that means it hasn't been long since you got married." Li Fei got married on May 26th, which is only about a month at most.
"It's been almost a month." Grandma He gritted her teeth. She was not angry at He Jiaojiao, but at the group of old people in her own family.
"It's okay. We will move here in a few days. Then I, Third Grandma, will accompany you every day and take you out to play." He Jiaojiao understood the old woman's thoughts.
At first, she wanted her grandmother to come and live at home for a few days, but her grandmother said she was not used to it.
"It's not fun, so I won't go out." Grandma He replied without thinking.
Mei Xue smiled and said, "Grandma, this place is not bad. I just saw a lot of old people walking around downstairs. I'll take you downstairs for a walk after dinner?" Find something for grandma to do.
Otherwise, she would be suffocated to death.
"What's so fun about this? It's all factories. Don't these people want to work?" Grandma He muttered.
On the other hand, He Anze sent Xiaoyu to the county primary school. He didn't know anyone there, but Xiangyang did.
With Xiangyang's introduction, Xiaoyu entered the county primary school early in the morning. However, because he was a transfer student, the teacher also gave him a test.
When Xiaoyu was in the village, he was in the first grade of primary school. He only entered the second grade in September this year.
But he thought the first grade was not fun and he couldn't learn anything, so he told the teacher at school that he wanted to go to the second grade.
He Anze respected him very much, and the teacher gave him an exam, and there was no problem with his grades getting into the second grade.
