Chapter 3, I have money
After searching in the kitchen for a while, she found rice and noodles. Mei Xue didn't know whether this was the south or the north, but she was not very good at making noodles.
But making rice or cooking is not difficult for her.
There were only two of them, so Mei Xue cooked a lot because she had confidence in herself and her appetite must have increased.
She used a porcelain bowl to scoop a flat bowl of rice and cooked on the stove. She knows how to do this.
She is not the daughter of a high-ranking official or a wealthy family. She has lived in the countryside since she was a child, so she is good at these things.
There are three pots, one for cooking rice, one for stir-frying vegetables, and one for cooking pig food.
Looking at the clean stove, Mei Xue felt so happy.
Being poor is not scary, but being poor and dirty is a bit scary.
Putting rice into the pot and lighting the fire are all done in one go.
However, when copying vegetables, Mei Xue encountered a problem. Why?
It was because she brought back so many crabs that a lot of oil was needed, and she found that all the oil at home combined could not fry even one-fifth of them.
Mei Xue slapped her forehead heavily, "Ouch." Then she slapped her wound again, which made her feel really sad.
"Yes, this was the 1980s, and people were not rich back then. If I continue to spend money like this, I'm afraid my family won't be able to support her." Mei Xue said in annoyance.
"Forget it." So, she put all the crabs into the space, and went to the field to pick some vegetables grown by the old lady herself, two cucumbers, and some leeks, "Let's have a simple lunch."
Cucumbers are pickled, so no oil is needed, salt is enough.
Chives are even simpler. Just put a little bit of oil and some water, and the soup will be delicious. The leek soup is ready.
"It seems that in every world and every era, the most important thing is money. I wonder if the original owner has money to protect himself." Mei Xue finished cooking, sat under the eaves, and sighed.
Recalling the original owner's memory, haha, it's amazing that she actually found some money.
Back in the house, Mei Xue quickly took out a small handkerchief from a cloth bag, and there was obviously something inside the handkerchief.
Open it and take a look.
"Haha, I love you. I love you so much." He kissed the money heavily.
I took them out and counted them, and saw that there were quite a few.
"Oh my god, the original owner is really rich. With so much money, haha, I can eat meat. My braised pork, my sweet and sour spare ribs."
Mei Xue was drooling at the words.
Before she could put the money away, the door of her room was pushed open and the old lady's surprised face appeared in front of Mei Xue.
"Grandma, you're back." Mei Xue was not angry. She had no intention of hiding the money anyway.
The old lady was surprised for a moment, then she looked sullen and said, "What are you doing, little girl? Why are you taking out the money? Aren't you afraid of being seen?" As she spoke, she walked in, not forgetting to close the door.
Looking at the money on her table, the old lady sighed: "It is our He family who has treated you badly. Over the years, almost all the good things in the family have been exchanged for food by me. Now the family can't even give you a good gift."
Listening to the old lady's words, Mei Xue felt tears in her eyes for some reason, "Grandma." Even though she had so much money, she was only concerned about her own safety.
"Why are you yelling? Put the money away. I don't know whether you are so stupid or so careless. There's nothing in it. Is it all urine?" The old lady hurriedly helped Mei Xue put the money away.
"Where are you going to put the money?" The old lady was not only nervous on her face, but also on her body: "Forget it, you put it yourself, I'll go out first, I dare not take the money out to see anyone."
Although you don’t need tickets to buy things now, money is a good thing. I’m just afraid that others will find out about it, which would be a disaster for me.
Jun Qi was not at home, so there were only the two girls. "Ah, this girl, why doesn't she pay more attention?"
The old lady ran out in a hurry, leaving Mei Xue at a loss whether to laugh or cry. However, who would dare to rob her money?
Haha, come and grab one, come and grab a pair. She is afraid that those people will not come.
When it comes to fighting, she has never been afraid of anyone.
After putting the money into the space, Mei Xue hurried out, fearing that she might scare the old lady into something.
As soon as Mei Xue came out, she saw the old lady pumping water into the well in the yard. "Grandma," she walked up to her and called out with a smile.
When the old lady saw her smiling face, she finally showed her first smile since returning home.
"Laughing, what are you laughing at? You're like a fool." She said that, but I don't know what the satisfaction in her eyes meant.
"Grandma, this is our home, and no one is coming. When I was cooking at noon, I found that there was not much rice and oil at home, so I went in to look for it. Let's see which day the market is open, and then we can go to the street to buy some things and bring them back."
Mei Xue has adapted very well to her current life and is living it very smoothly.
The old lady listened to her granddaughter-in-law's words, and she felt even more satisfied: "We have money at home, so we don't need your money. Just save it for yourself. Raising children will cost money in the future."
Mei Xue's mouth twitched when she heard her grandma's shocking words. But forget it, don't take it too seriously with the old lady. "Okay, I'll listen to grandma."
But that man, well, he’s not bad, at least he looks good, but he’s a little less responsible. How could he just disappear after getting the marriage certificate?
"Let's go and have dinner. I'm starving to death."
The grandmother and granddaughter get along very well.
At the dinner table, the old lady was very satisfied when she saw the meal Xiaoxue had prepared. "When grandma goes out to work, you can help grandma cook and wash clothes at home."
Seeing her grandmother's satisfaction, Mei Xue was also very happy: "Grandma, I'm strong, I'll help you work in the fields." It was not her style to be taken care of by an old person.
"What strength do you have? You can't even knock over a bucket of water?" The old lady teased without giving him any face at all.
"Grandma, the person is still sick." Talking to the old lady is just like when the master was still alive, which makes people feel comfortable.
It's also very warm.
she.
Like it very much.
"It's up to you. If you are not afraid of those gossipy women in the village, you can come with me. It's just right that the rice needs fertilizer now." The old lady said helplessly.
She wanted to let Xiaoxue rest more, but she knew that being too polite would make her even more uncomfortable.
Unlike the Jiangnan region, where there are two seasons a year, here there is only one season a year. The food for the whole year has to be grown by oneself, and grain taxes have to be paid.
Mei Xue didn't know about these things, but she was still happy to be able to help her grandma.
"I'm not afraid of them." Mei Xue rolled her eyes. "Before, I was unfamiliar with this place and was shy. Now I know that grandma really accepts me, so why should I be afraid of them? I'm not eating their rice."
Whether it's talking about talking or kung fu, who is Mei Xue afraid of?
