Chapter 118 Eating
The next day they went to the county. In order to catch the bus to the county, they had no time to deliver the letter to Lao Qin's house.
Qin Ming has his own household registration book. After all, he is married and lives independently.
His and Jiang Yue’s household registration is in the same book, which has been separated from their parents’ household registration book.
After all, he has his own homestead, and the village can't possibly classify him as belonging to his parents.
Qin Ming is considered the head of the household.
Even though Jiang Yue felt uncomfortable in her stomach, she endured it and went to the county town.
Actually, my stomach wasn't uncomfortable, it's just that there were too many people on the bus, and there were a lot of miscellaneous things. People went to the county town, whether they were carrying chickens, ducks, or various grains, fruits and vegetables, pickles, and so on. You can imagine the smell in the bus.
It would be strange if Jiang Yue, a pregnant woman, felt comfortable smelling this smell.
Plus the road was a bit bumpy.
Jiang Yue vomited as soon as she arrived in the county town.
Jiang Xiaoxin was so distressed that she dragged her sister to the nearby restaurant and asked for a bowl of hot soup.
Lift the cotton door curtain. Don’t underestimate this small restaurant. Even though the curtain is small, it’s steaming hot inside.
The owner of this restaurant is an old man. Jiang Xiaoxiao was a little stunned when she saw him.
Nowadays there are no privately owned restaurants, most of them are collectively owned.
But looking at the situation of this restaurant, it seems that there is only one old man supporting it. If it is a group, there must be at least three or four people.
"Guests are here! Please take a seat. What would you like to eat in this cold weather? We have steamed buns, noodles, dumplings, and wontons."
The old man greeted warmly.
Jiang Xiaoxiao helped her elder sister sit down.
Qin Ming felt his pocket. Since his sister-in-law had already come in, he had to pay the money no matter what.
My aunt has helped them so much, it would be a shame if she didn't even save this for herself.
"Uncle, please give me two bowls of wontons."
"A bowl of wontons is two taels, and you need two taels of food coupons, plus thirty cents. Wonton soup is free, and you can add more."
The old man looked at the three people, but ordered two bowls without saying anything.
I didn't even ask why three people ordered two bowls of wontons?
"No, no, I just want one bowl. I'm not hungry. Besides, my stomach feels uncomfortable now and I can't eat. Just a small meal." Jiang Yue was reluctant to do that.
This time I earned four taels of food coupons and sixty cents.
This would take several days of work to earn these points in the village.
They grow eight centimeters a day.
At most, Qin Ming could earn 12 work points, and one work point was worth only one cent.
This wiped out a week's worth of work points for the couple.
Jiang Yue was a little reluctant.
In fact, he wanted to save more money for his child. After all, the child is about to be born. In addition, when he goes back to the city to visit his parents, he has to buy some decent things for his parents. What son-in-law would come to visit without bringing anything for his mother-in-law and father-in-law?
Is it appropriate to go empty-handed?
There is only so much money at home, and my parents-in-law would never give them the money they have.
If only the two of them could be more frugal and fight more ruthlessly.
How will they live in the future? They have no place to borrow the money that their parents-in-law want.
Last night, Jiang Xiaoxiao asked questions all night long.
She used all her persuasion to coax Xiaoxiao over.
If my sister knew about this, she would be furious.
"No, you have to eat something. How can you not eat? You only ate half a steamed bun this morning. You didn't eat anything else. You were so bumpy all the way. You vomited everything as soon as you got off the bus. How can your body stand it if you don't eat something? Don't worry about it. You can't save this little money."
Qin Ming was anxious. After all, they had been married for almost a year. How could he not know what his wife was thinking?
My daughter-in-law is kind-hearted and always considers herself in everything.
Definitely worried about spending money.
When he thought of this, he felt a little sad.
When other people's daughters-in-law are pregnant, their parents-in-law will treat them well with good food and drink no matter what they say. But in their family, it's different. The daughter-in-law is about to give birth.
My parents have never said anything about getting anything for my wife.
It's just talk, it sounds good but there is no actual action at all.
Even he felt bad.
"I'm really not hungry. Why did you waste that money?"
Jiang Yue refused.
Jiang Xiaoxiao glanced at the couple.
"Okay. You two can have wontons. I want three bowls of wontons, weighing two liang, plus two poached eggs."
Jiang Xiaoxiao realized that if she didn't say anything, she would probably be the only one eating the meal.
The couple kept giving each other the food, and in the end, I guess they didn't even want to drink a sip of soup.
As soon as Jiang Xiaoxiao spoke, Jiang Yue and Qin Ming had no way to refuse.
They couldn't reject their sister's request in front of her, and her request was for their own good. If they were trying to save money at this time, it would be a bit too much.
The old man happily agreed and said, "It's not a big deal." After a while, he brought out three large bowls from the back. These large porcelain bowls were indeed very heavy.
2 taels of meat wontons. The soup is fresh and the meat is delicious. There are green chopped green onions floating on the soup. There are also two white and plump poached eggs in each bowl.
Jiang Xiaoxiao directly distributed spoons and chopsticks to everyone.
"Eat quickly. Do you think I don't know that each of you ate half a steamed bun this morning, but I was given two steamed buns instead? That's just a little food. We have been walking here for three hours and it has been digested a long time ago.
Don't tell me if you're hungry or not. The food has been brought up here, and if you don't eat it, you still have to pay for it. Don't waste it."
Jiang Xiaoxiao started eating and found the soup very delicious. Although the door curtain is small, the food is indeed authentic.
And each wonton is filled with pure meat.
When you take a bite, you can smell the meat flavor. The meat filling is seasoned very well.
Jiang Yue and Qin Ming looked at each other, feeling helpless. It would be a waste if they said they didn't want to eat it at this time.
Qin Ming took a look at Jiang Xiao eating happily and quickly pushed the bowl over to him.
"Hurry up and eat, sister. There's more here after you finish. You and your sister can share this bowl later. Brother-in-law is really not hungry. If I were hungry, why would a grown man like me pretend to be hungry, right?"
Gurgle!
His stomach rumbled and Qin Ming's face turned red in embarrassment.
This stomach is really disappointing. It always sabotages him at the critical moment.
"Well, maybe I caught a cold."
The old face turned red.
Jiang Xiaoxiao burst out laughing.
"Brother-in-law, please don't lie to me. Look at me, I am so small and one bowl of wontons is enough for me. Your wontons are very filling. After eating such a big bowl, you asked me to have a second bowl. You are really trying to feed me.
And eat quickly, don't wait here, don't let people come to you, we have to report to our workplace soon. If you keep dawdling like this, I think they'll be off work soon."
After hearing this, the couple had no choice but to lower their heads and eat quickly, otherwise they would miss out on their work. That would be a loss.
Jiang Xiaoxiao finished her meal and left with the bowl.
"Uncle, give me another half bowl of wonton soup. This soup is really delicious."
Qin Ming and Jiang Yue nodded. They thought the food was really good. They thought it was so delicious that they almost swallowed it.
"I'll have half a bowl of soup too!"
Qin Ming said.
"Okay, brother-in-law, I'll bring it to you in a moment."
Jiang Xiaoxiao answered while holding the bowl.
He calmly placed six taels of food coupons and one dollar and twenty cents in front of the old man.
A bowl of wontons costs 30 cents, and two poached eggs cost 10 cents, so for the three of them it would definitely cost 1.2 yuan.
The old man smiled and gave a thumbs up.
This girl is really sensible.
