Chapter 412 Old Lady Miao

Jiang Cuihuasi didn't feel tired at all when she went out for a walk. She couldn't be idle at home either.

It's still early to make dinner.

The weather on the island is changeable, and I'm afraid the temperature will suddenly drop.

Jiang Cuihua took out the cloth and started cutting clothes. She was busy when she heard a knock on the door.

Jiang Cuihua didn't think much about it and went to open the door when she heard the noise.

The person knocking on the door was an old lady in her sixties with a head full of white hair, but she looked in good spirits.

The dress is also very decent.

Jiang Cuihua didn't know the man, so she asked directly, "Old man, who are you looking for?"

The old lady first looked at Jiang Cuihua, then squinted her eyes and explained: "Hello, I live next door, this room has been empty before, I heard some noise these two days, so I came to take a look out of curiosity, did you move in yesterday?"

When she heard that it was a neighbor, Jiang Cuihua smiled and said, "Yes, we just moved in yesterday afternoon. Old man, come in and sit for a while?"

The old lady thought that the two families would be neighbors in the future, so it was necessary for them to get to know each other.

Then he followed Jiang Cuihua into the house.

As soon as she entered the house, the old lady couldn't wait to ask, "Is this house your son's?"

When she went out this morning, she saw Gu Cheng.

Gu has grown up well and has an outstanding temperament.

The old lady had lived to such an old age that she could tell at a glance that the man must be a promising man.

Besides...if you don't have any ambition, you won't be able to live in such a nice family house.

The room we were given was still a big one.

As for Jiang Cuihua, she looked quite ordinary.

Therefore, the old lady guessed that Jiang Cuihua must have benefited from her son's kindness to be able to live in such a good house.

Jiang Cuihua thought for a moment and told the truth: "No, the house is rented by my son-in-law..."

The old lady was surprised when she heard this: "Borrowed?"

It wasn't too rude, regardless of whether Jiang Cuihua's family had any background or not.

Being able to borrow a house like this shows that the other party still has some connections.

Jiang Cuihua nodded: "My daughter wants to give birth in the hospital here, so my son-in-law borrowed a house from his comrade-in-arms to live in for a few months."

The old lady suddenly realized and asked curiously, "Comrade? Your son-in-law is a soldier?"

Jiang Cuihua smiled and said, "Yes, on the island, my son-in-law is a deputy brigade commander."

The old lady was shocked and said, "Is that the young man who went out this morning? He is so young and is already the deputy brigade commander. It's really amazing."

Those who can live in the family courtyard are not ordinary people.

The old lady was originally a retired doctor from the hospital, and her husband is also a retired person.

The couple has only one son, who is now the director of a meat processing factory.

My daughter-in-law is also a leader in the factory.

Look, this whole family eats commercial grains, and yet they were allocated a house.

However, the other party is a military officer, young and a deputy brigade commander, and their family cannot compare to him.

When talking about her son-in-law, Jiang Cuihua's smile never stopped.

"Yes, my son-in-law is the only one who has a promising future in my family."

The old lady also smiled and said, "I'm next door. You just moved in. If you have any questions, you can come and see me."

She is a native of Qing City and has a better understanding of the situation in Qing City.

The old lady has nothing to do now that she has retired, so she likes to chat with people about family matters on weekdays.

The two talked for a long time before the old lady went back.

Jiang Cuihua went to the kitchen to cook, scrambled eggs with chili peppers, Chinese cabbage with garlic sauce, and the staple food was white rice.

The food is quite vegetarian.

Jiang Cuihua whispered, "I just heard from Mrs. Miao that her son works in the meat processing factory and has a way to buy pork. Tomorrow morning, I will go with her to buy two pounds of pork."

The girl is pregnant with three children. She eats the amount for four people. Doesn’t she need to nourish herself well?

Liu Yinyin: "...Mrs. Miao?"

She slept soundly in the afternoon and heard nothing.

Jiang Cuihua explained: "An old lady next door to us came to see me this morning and said that we wanted to get to know each other so that we could help each other in the future."

Liu Yinyin said, "Oh!" "Is her son working in a meat processing factory?"

"Yes, he is the director of the meat processing factory."

Old Mrs. Miao found out a lot about Liu Yinyin's family yesterday.

Similarly, Jiang Cuihua also inquired about the situation of Mrs. Miao's family.

Old Mrs. Miao’s son is Miao Hongxing, who is the director of a meat processing factory.

With this relationship, it is much more convenient for Mrs. Miao to buy meat on weekdays.

You can just go to the meat processing factory to get the meat. There is no need to queue up at the supply and marketing cooperative.

If you want to buy good meat, you still need money and tickets.

If you want to buy pig offal, you don't need a ticket and the price is very cheap.

Jiang Cuihua thought that she had to get along well with Old Madam Miao and wait for her daughter to give birth to a child.

Let Old Madam Miao help and buy some pig's trotters, pork ribs, etc. to stew for the young lady to nourish her body.

Liu Yinyin said thoughtfully: "Mom, you go, I will go out tomorrow morning too?"

Jiang Cuihua asked, "Where are you going? How about I go with you?"

It's not safe for my daughter to go out alone with such a big belly.

Liu Yinyin said casually: "Mom, I want to go to the department store again and buy some soap."

She was going to sell out some supplies, such as milk powder, bottles, cotton, soap, shampoo and so on.

Soap is a rare commodity these days. Make some more and then... give one or two to Old Mrs. Miao.

You can't ask people for help and not give them any benefits.

Jiang Cuihua thought about it and said, "Then be careful and don't buy too many things."

She still wanted to help her daughter save some money.

The next day.

At about seven o'clock, Jiang Cuihua went out with a basket. She was afraid of tiring Liu Yinyin, so she took Gu Yanyan with her.

Liu Yinyin waited at home for a while before going out.

I didn’t go to the department store or the black market.

Liu Yinyin strolled around outside and then found a place where no one was.

Five bars of soap, two bottles of shampoo, a can of toothpaste, and four towels were smuggled out.

There aren't enough towels at home, so it's better to have a few extra ones.

Carrying the things home, Liu Yinyin bought a few more cans of milk powder.

At that time, milk powder was all packaged in bags. Liu Yinyin had bought a lot of milk powder before, and she had washed and stored all the bags.

Each bag held one kilogram and was sealed. Liu Yinyin filled ten bags of milk powder before she stopped.

Let’s prepare this much milk powder first.

In addition to milk powder, Liu Yinyin also bought three milk bottles, three pounds of cotton, three pieces of cotton cloth, and a stack of socks for babies.

Liu Yinyin stuffed all these things in the cabinet in her room.

Otherwise, Jiang Cuihua would see it and nag her again.

I used to prepare double portions of everything, but now with three children, it’s obviously not enough.

I also bought some vegetables: a handful of lettuce, a handful of beans, two loofahs, two pounds of tomatoes, and twenty eggs.

Thinking that Jiang Cuihua would come back with some pork later, Liu Yinyin did not smuggle the pork.
