After washing up, Song Shiwei also sat down at the table to eat breakfast.
For breakfast, Liao Xiaocao made a simple meal, just a big pot of thick cornmeal porridge.
It smells delicious.
She made a few fried pancakes, took some of the leftover broth from last night, and stir-fried some cabbage.
Because of the broth, the fried cabbage is very fragrant.
Several children ate the fried cakes with oil, their mouths full of oil.
She made these meals based on what was in the kitchen. In fact, it would be best to fry some eggs for pregnant women and children, but she didn't dare to do so for fear that Song Shiwei would be unhappy.
Only two boiled eggs were cooked for Song Shiwei.
Seeing the two eggs, Song Shi smiled and placed them in front of Xinxin and Zhou Wei: "Xiaocao, from now on, eggs and meat, just do whatever you want. When you finish eating, we can buy more!"
Zhou Lin took a big bite of the fried dough cake and nodded: "That's right, Sister Xiaocao, you don't have to be so reserved in our house!"
Zhou Cheng also nodded: "Yeah, you, just treat it like your own home!"
Xiaocao bit her lower lip. This was different from her own family. In her own family, she had no say. Her mother would scold her whether she did something good or not.
Sometimes when you are still not satisfied, you have to use the broom to beat you.
But here, no one hits her or scolds her, not even yells at her!
Liao Xiaocao likes this kind of family atmosphere very much.
She took a bite of the cake in her hand and nodded: "I remember it, Sister Weiwei!"
After breakfast, Liao Xiaocao moved a stool for Song Shiwei to sit on at the gate of the yard to bask in the sun.
She started cleaning the house inside and out.
Xinxin, Zhou Wei and the others ran out to play.
Zhou Cheng walked up to Song Shiwei, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Song Shiwei was squinting her eyes to bask in the sun, and was startled when she suddenly saw him.
"You scared me, brat. What's wrong with you?"
It was so rare to see the struggle on Zhou Cheng's face. Thinking that this child was a thoughtful person, Song Shiwei couldn't help but sit up.
I thought to myself, could it be that since I haven't chatted with him for a while, this kid has something on his mind again?
That won’t do!
I was just about to give him some good advice.
Zhou Cheng hesitated and said, "Mom, do we have any new cotton-padded clothes at home? Or, do you have any old clothes that you don't wear?"
Song Shiwei was stunned.
"New cotton-padded clothes? Old clothes? Are your clothes torn?"
She thought that the children seemed to have several sets of clothes each this winter! They should have plenty of clothes to wear, right?
Shen Xiu'e even bought them all the spring clothes.
Even her Shen Xiu'e had several sets of clothes custom-made for her, enough for her to wear until she gave birth!
When he heard her question, Zhou Cheng's face suddenly turned red, but soon turned pale again.
He stammered, "I, I saw Sister Xiaocao sitting in the living room sewing clothes last night. The clothes she brought were all tattered and almost unwearable. She was particularly afraid of being discovered using our needlework and thread, afraid that you would be angry. When she saw me come out, she was so scared that she pricked her hand..."
Song Shiwei frowned immediately.
"You pricked your hand? Are you okay?"
Zhou Cheng shook his head: "It's just some bleeding, it's okay, but her clothes are really unwearable. I see that her clothes are even more tattered than those of the poorest family in Xiao Cui's village. A shirt has several holes on the back of the elbow and the collar! Mom... So, I thought..."
"So that's why you asked me if I had any new cotton-padded clothes or any unused clothes to give her, right?"
Zhou Cheng met Song Shi's smiling eyes.
He nodded somewhat embarrassedly.
Song Shiwei thought for a moment and said, "Go call your Aunt Meimei! She's in charge of the group purchases at the family compound. I asked her to order a few more pieces of clothing!"
When Zhou Cheng heard this, he was immediately happy.
"Okay, Mom, I'll go right away!"
After a while, Sun Meimei came over.
"Weiwei, are you looking for me?"
Song Shiwei told her that she had been asked to buy clothes.
"I need a set of cotton-padded clothes and two sets of spring clothes..."
Thinking of Xiaocao's cloth shoes that had been patched up several times, he mused, "Add a pair of size 38 Jiefang shoes!"
Song Shiwei originally wanted to buy her a pair of white shoes that all little girls like, but thinking that she would definitely not be willing to wear them when she was working, it would be better to buy her a pair of sturdy and durable Liberation shoes!
And judging from the size of her feet, they should be about the same as mine. Song Shiwei wears size 37, but nowadays, it’s better to buy shoes in a big size than a small size.
If you buy a bigger shoe, you can add an insole. If you buy a smaller shoe, you really can’t wear it.
She also didn't let Zhou Cheng ask her what size she was. After all, if he asked, the shy girl would definitely not accept it!
Sun Meimei followed her gaze and understood instantly.
"Oh, so it was bought for your little nanny! You know what, this little girl is so lucky to be able to work in your house! I envy her!"
This made Song Shiwei slap her in anger.
"You envy her?"
Sun Meimei chuckled: "No, no, no, I don't envy anyone. Now that I can make money with you, I'm so happy. So many people envy me!"
She was right in saying this. Who in the entire family compound didn't envy her and Wang Chunxiang and the others?
Of course, she is especially so, because she follows Song Shiwei in business and earns more money every month than their old Zheng!
We had meat for every meal at home, and even Shi Tou was envied by other children!
What else could she not be satisfied with!
Their group purchases are usually delivered the next day after they are reported.
Therefore, Song Shiwei did not mention this to Liao Xiaocao, thinking of giving her a surprise tomorrow.
After she finished her work, Song Shiwei began to think about what to eat for lunch.
I haven’t eaten all the cat’s eye snails I picked up yesterday.
She just asked Xiaocao to pick out the cat's-eye snails.
Then I heard someone shouting at the door: "Sister-in-law, someone is looking for you!"
Song Shiwei went out and saw that it was Zhou Lianhai who came with his men.
The soldier on duty saw that they really knew each other and went back with peace of mind.
Zhou Lianhai rubbed his hands happily: "Comrade Xiao Song, I wonder what the new dish recipe you mentioned is?"
He was worried about the restaurant business recently. After the Chinese New Year, many individual businesses were opened.
Restaurants that were previously nationalized have also returned to private hands.
Their prices are lower than theirs, and although the food may not taste that good, it still attracts a lot of people.
Today, he heard the little girl say that Song Shiwei had a new dish recipe to sell to him!
He was so happy that he didn't care about anything else. He arranged the staff and rushed over without stopping.
Song Shiwei thought he would come, but she didn't expect him to come so soon.
Hearing his question, she smiled and invited him into the house.
Manager Zhou was anxious: "Comrade Xiao Song, we won't go in. Do you have any new recipes? Please tell me first, I'm so anxious!"
Song Shiwei couldn't help laughing: "Yes, I know you are anxious, but the ingredients for this new recipe are in the house. If you don't come in, how can I let people see it!"
