Chapter 167 Shredded Pork Noodles

Ma Xiaolian has to go to work now, and has left her young son in the care of her daughter.

The eldest daughter is thirteen years old, so it is no problem for her to take care of a child.

She originally studied in school, but now the times are bad and many students in the school have asked for leave.

Ma Xiaolian thought that there was no one to take care of her younger son, so she asked her eldest daughter to take a leave of absence and stay at home to help take care of the child.

There was no other way. If she didn't go to work, how could she support the whole family with just her husband's salary?

The two were not familiar with each other, but Ma Xiaolian had allowed Brother Liu to work as a temporary worker for two months before.

Liu Yinyin just brought her eggs and left after delivering them.

Liu Yinyin took the other eighteen eggs, a rabbit and two pieces of salted meat to see Aunt Zhou.

It doesn’t matter if Aunt Zhou doesn’t want it, she can still sell it to the system.

However, supplies were so tight at that time, especially food.

Eggs and meat are in great demand everywhere.

Aunt Zhou accepted it all without a second thought, and she still thought it was not enough.

"Can you bring me more eggs next time?" Aunt Zhou said that she had many grandchildren and that not enough eggs would be enough for them to eat.

"Okay." Liu Yinyin nodded in agreement. Her family consumed a lot of eggs, so she couldn't save many.

Maybe, next time I can ask Jiang Cuihua for some eggs. Liu Yinyin can help her exchange them for food.

Aunt Zhou gave Liu Yinyin a piece of cloth, an enamel basin, and ten yuan.

Liu Yinyin has already saved up quite a few pieces of cloth, but she doesn't think it's too much. Cloth is durable and will always be useful in the future.

Even if you don't use it, you can sell it to others when the year is better.

The vegetable garden in the compound had not been tended for some time, and the shepherd's purse planted there was not growing very well.

But if shepherd's purse is planted early, it can be picked in a few days.

Liu Yinyin pulled out the weeds in the field and watered it.

After finishing my work, I rode my bike out.

It was still early, and Liu Yinyin was not in a hurry to go back, so she went to the supply and marketing cooperative first.

Due to insufficient supply of materials, there are few people in the supply and marketing cooperatives.

When Liu Yinyin went in, several counters were empty and there was nothing there.

Liu Yinyin walked around and bought two bags of walnut cookies, a bag of dried shrimps and a bag of dried kelp.

The prices are not cheap.

Liu Yinyin came home with a lot of bags.

Because she had a bicycle, Liu Yinyin brought back some extra supplies.

In addition to what she bought at the supply and marketing cooperative, she also smuggled two kilograms of pork, two kilograms of small apples, twenty kilograms of white flour and fifty kilograms of cornmeal out of the system.

It was almost noon when we got back.

Liu Yinyin put down her things, packed up a little, and went to Liu's house with a basket to pick someone up.

She brought Jiang Cuihua ten pounds of cornmeal, one pound of pork and a bag of walnut cookies.

"It's not cheap, right? Don't bring me anything next time. You should spend money frugally." Jiang Cuihua didn't feel comfortable accepting things from a young lady. Her family wasn't so poor that they couldn't even make ends meet.

She has several sons. Even if they can't have food to eat, it is not Liu Yinyin's turn to support them.

Besides, the money of the young lady’s family didn’t come from the wind.

Prices are so high now, I buy so many things without any planning.

Liu Yinyin explained: "I didn't spend any money, I just exchanged with others. I used fifty eggs, a rabbit, a pheasant, and ten kilograms of salted meat to get a lot of food."

This was of course meant to fool Jiang Cuihua, but if she took the things to Aunt Li, she could indeed exchange them for food.

After saying that, Liu Yinyin changed her mind and said to Jiang Cuihua, "Mom, if you have extra eggs, you can also exchange them for food."

Jiang Cuihua clicked her tongue twice when she heard this: "Who has so much meat and precious things? There are so many people in the family, and the eggs are not enough for themselves. How can there be extra eggs to exchange for food?"

Moreover, in order to borrow milk from the village chief's daughter-in-law, Jiang Cuihua gave away a lot of eggs, leaving even fewer eggs left at home.

I have several grandchildren, and the food in the cafeteria is not good now, so I have to save some eggs for them to nourish their bodies.

It's not just the Liu family, most families in the village are like this. Since there are many people in a family, eggs are eaten very carefully.

Unlike the young lady's family, there are only three people, so no matter how they eat, there will be extra eggs.

Liu Yinyin: “…”

For a moment, I forgot that my nephew still needed to borrow milk.

It seems that the idea of ​​exchanging eggs for food for the Liu family has failed.

Gu Cheng didn't come back at noon.

When only the mother and son are around, Liu Yinyin will cook simpler meals.

Anyway, Gu Yanyan is not picky about food and will eat anything you give him.

Same thing today at noon, Liu Yinyin plans to cook some noodles.

Some of the vegetables in the yard are ready to eat.

I just happened to have a pound of fresh pork, so I cut some lean meat into strips and picked a handful of green vegetables.

Add two fried eggs and noodles, it is simple and nutritious.

After dinner, Liu Yinyin was just about to clear the table when someone came to look for her.

It's Huang Xiaoyue...

Huang Xiaoyue has been working in the fields for several days and is taking a day off today.

I was thinking about something, so I came to find Liu Yinyin.

"Third sister-in-law, come in and sit down." The sun was scorching outside, and Liu Yinyin called her in to talk.

Huang Xiaoyue was also a straightforward person. As soon as she entered the house, she got straight to the point: "Just now at home, I heard... I accidentally heard you talking to mom."

At that time, Jiang Cuihua and her daughter were talking in the main room, and Huang Xiaoyue happened to go to Jiang Cuihua for something.

At first she didn't know that Liu Yinyin was inside. After hearing the voices, she wanted to leave...but then she inadvertently heard Liu Yinyin talking about helping Jiang Cuihua exchange food.

"It's okay." Liu Yinyin waved her hands. It was not a big deal and it didn't matter if someone heard it.

Besides, Huang Xiaoyue is also a member of the family, so there is no need to be on guard against her.

Huang Xiaoyue heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that. She said, "I heard you tell mom that you can exchange eggs for food in the county. Is that true?"

Liu Yinyin nodded and said, "Of course, just like exchanging vegetables for food before, as long as it is a scarce material, we can exchange it with each other."

Some people lack this, some people lack that, it's just a matter of each taking what they need.

Huang Xiaoyue's eyes lit up and she asked hurriedly, "Yinyin, can you help my dad get some food?"

Huang Laizi is the only one living in Huang Xiaoyue's family, and he also raises five chickens.

The yellow croaker usually doesn't like to eat eggs, so there are two or three hundred eggs accumulated at home.

There is no big market in the countryside now, and the weather is getting hotter day by day. If the eggs are not processed, they will go bad.

In this kind of weather, eggs really don't keep well.

It’s not a difficult task. Huang Xiaoyue has helped her a lot before.

Liu Yinyin responded crisply: "Then bring it over and I'll help you change it."

Huang Xiaoyue was delighted and immediately said, "I will go back to Shuangxi Village in the afternoon."
