Chapter 414 Pier Transaction

Jiang Cuihua felt that her daughter had a hard time raising three children and that she would not be able to bear it if she did not take care of her health.

Liu Yinyin pursed her lips: "Mom, I'm fine."

She was also very anxious, but since there was nothing she could do to change the situation, she could only try her best not to affect the people around her.

Jiang Cuihua changed her mind and said, "Then I'll buy a fish tomorrow."

You can eat more fish, as it is rich in protein and you won’t gain weight easily even if you eat too much.

Liu Yinyin thought for a moment and said, "I'll go to the dock to buy fish myself tomorrow, and you can go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy vegetables."

This place is not far from the pier, and it only takes about an hour to go back and forth.

These days, Liu Yinyin goes out for a walk every morning and evening to exercise her body.

Going to the pier tomorrow morning is like going out for a walk.

Although Qingshi is prosperous, the supply and marketing cooperative supplies more dishes than other places.

But you still have to buy vegetables early. If you go too late, the vegetables will be what others have picked out and they are no longer fresh.

It did rain that night, but it was just a light rain.

The next day, the weather was a little cooler.

Liu Yinyin changed into a thin coat, and after breakfast in the morning, Jiang Cuihua went out to buy groceries.

After a while, Liu Yinyin took Gu Yanyan out to the pier to buy fish.

It is also very convenient to eat fish in Qingshi when the weather is good.

In the morning, there are many stalls selling fish on the pier.

Those who sell fish are fishermen. They go out to sea to fish at night and sell the fish at the dock during the day.

Most of the people who come to buy fish are residents of Qing City, and this situation is allowed by the higher authorities.

Of course, we can’t do business openly.

Transactions at the dock are apparently based on barter, with the most common being the exchange of food, fish, shrimp and crab meat.

Liu Yinyin was holding a bag with two bars of soap and a towel in it.

Soaps and towels are in great demand at this time and there is no problem selling them.

She smuggled soap and towels out of the system to trade, which was much cheaper than buying the seafood directly.

Yesterday morning, Liu Yinyin only used a towel and exchanged it for two kilograms of shrimps.

Maybe it rained last night.

There were not as many seafood stalls on the pier as yesterday, but the fishermen picked out the best seafood to sell.

The fish, shrimps and crabs are all very big.

Liu Yinyin walked around and bought two palm-sized crabs, two pounds of shrimps, and two mackerels.

It was the crab season, but she couldn't eat crabs because she was pregnant, but Jiang Cuihua and Gu Yanyan could eat them.

I didn’t buy anything else because it would be tiring to carry too much.

When I returned to the family compound, I happened to meet Jiang Cuihua and Old Lady Miao.

In the morning, the two went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy vegetables together.

"Yinyin, are you feeling well?" In the past few days, Mrs. Miao has become familiar with Liu Yinyin.

When she learned that Liu Yinyin was pregnant with triplets, Mrs. Miao was also shocked.

She is a retired doctor. Although she is not an obstetrician and gynecologist, she knows a little bit about it.

Triplet babies are rare, but... the risk of having triplets is also quite high.

Liu Yinyin smiled and said, "Grandma Miao, I'm fine."

Mrs. Miao: "If you feel uncomfortable, go to the hospital for a check-up. I used to work at Qingshi Hospital before I retired. If you want to be hospitalized in advance, I can give the hospital a heads up."

She is old and retired now, but she still has connections with the hospital.

She wasn't trying to show off. Mrs. Miao asked this because she saw how hard it was for Liu Yinyin to be pregnant with triplets.

Liu Yinyin didn't refuse directly: "Thank you, Grandma Miao."

Jiang Cuihua took the things from the lady and agreed, "If you need them, I'll give them to you if you don't mind the trouble."

Mrs. Miao smiled and said, "How could that be? If I was afraid of trouble, I wouldn't have asked this question."

Liu Yinyin took out a net bag of prawns from the basket and handed it to Mrs. Miao.

"We bought too much seafood this morning. Grandma Miao, please take some home to eat."

She bought too much seafood today, and the three people in the family couldn't finish it.

Mrs. Miao didn't bother to be polite with her: "It just so happens that I didn't buy any meat dishes today."

Mrs. Miao's son is the director of a meat processing factory, so it is more convenient for the family to eat meat.

But, these days, everything is supplied in fixed quantities.

It is convenient to buy pork, but if you don’t have a meat ticket, you won’t be able to buy meat at the meat processing plant.

Therefore, Mrs. Miao’s family does not eat pork very often. On weekdays, they eat more seafood.

Jiang Cuihua only bought a few vegetarian dishes today, two pieces of tofu, a handful of beans, a handful of celery, and a few cucumbers.

After putting the food in the kitchen, Jiang Cuihua asked, "How about fish stewed with tofu and stir-fried beans for lunch?"

Liu Yinyin nodded: "...Okay."

She actually wanted to eat something spicy, but was afraid that it would irritate her stomach, so she had been eating lighter meals recently.

Gu Cheng came back two days later.

I went there empty-handed, but came back with a big suitcase.

Jiang Cuihua: "Come in quickly. Are you hungry? I'll cook you a bowl of noodles."

Gu Cheng was indeed very hungry at this moment: "Mom, thank you for your help."

"No trouble."

Gu Cheng put down his luggage bag, looked at Liu Yinyin and asked, "Is the child making a fuss?"

When they were on the island before, Liu Yinyin had frequent fetal movements.

Liu Yinyin touched her belly and said, "It's been quite rough these past few days, but fortunately, I'm not feeling uncomfortable."

It’s actually not a bad thing, as it means the children are now healthy.

Gu Cheng: "I brought the clothes that Yanyan wore when she was a child, as well as diapers and other things from home."

When Gu Yanyan was just born, Liu Yinyin prepared a lot of things for him.

They were all made of good fabrics. Children grow fast, so all the things were new, so Gu Cheng packed them up and brought them all over.

Three children, so that there won’t be enough things.

Seeing this, Liu Yinyin was delighted and said, "I was just worried that I didn't have enough clothes for the children."

In addition to clothes, Gu Cheng also brought a bag of cornmeal.

"My father applied for 50 kilograms of corn from the village and ground it into cornmeal overnight, and asked me to bring it over."

It was said to be food for Jiang Cuihua.

Liu Lai Fu knew that Jiang Cuihua would be here to help take care of Liu Yinyin.

So he said he would send her food rations every month.

Liu Lai Fu was stubborn and could not be persuaded no matter how hard he tried.

Liu Yinyin said with shame: "...We give mother 50 kilograms of flour every month, and our hometown also sends us food."

Why bother with all this trouble?

Gu Cheng tried to persuade Liu Lai Fu, but he didn't listen.

"Dad said we can't let Mom eat and drink for free here. People in the village will gossip about her."

In fact, Liu Lai Fu was probably afraid that the Gu family would know about this, and that they would cause trouble for Gu Cheng and Liu Yin Yin.

Liu Yinyin: “…”

Gu Cheng's vacation is about to end, and he has to rush back to the island tomorrow.

When I was packing up at night, I told Liu Yinyin.
