Chapter 403 Friendly Neighbors - The Sickly Young Girl's Daily Life of Eating Watermelons in the Courtyard

Father Lin also brought out a chair and sat down at the door.

"What happened to you two just now?"

"Ah? Is everything okay?" Lin's mother looked around and said.

Lin Qing also nodded, "It's okay, nothing happened."

Father Lin looked at the mother and didn't believe it at all!

"You are hiding something from me..."

"Hehe..." Lin's mother and Lin Qing smiled guiltily at the same time.

Father Lin looked helpless. Look, look, this guilty expression is so similar!

"I'll tell you in the evening." Lin's mother took a step back.

Lin Qing didn't say anything. She had told her mother everything, so she was naturally prepared to let her father know. Since she had asked her mother to keep it a secret, it naturally didn't include her father either.

The same goes for herself. She would not hide these things from Cen Xi, her bedmate, unless... she forgot!

It's no wonder that the family of three managed to use up one third of the amount that Lin's mother received this month.

"That's enough, that's enough, stop doing it. If you do it again, it will be gone." Lin's mother stood up and instructed Lin's father to put the finished products back into the house.

Lin Qing also washed his hands and returned to the house, pouring a glass of sugar water for each of Lin's father and mother.

Not long after.

Grandpa Li came over from the backyard and said, "Old Lin, let's go play chess, shall we?" Grandpa Li has also become fascinated with chess recently.

Aunt Li didn't allow him to go fishing anymore, so he just went to the Front Street Park with Father Lin. After going there a few times, he became addicted to playing chess.

This day! Almost as long as it's not raining and the sun is not that hot, he will definitely come to call for help.

"Coming, coming." Father Lin also hurried out, and the two of them left together.

Mother Lin looked at Father Lin who left in a hurry with some amusement, and whispered to Lin Qing: "Look how anxious your father is!"

"Hey! What my dad has to do is pretty good, too. How about you go find some old sisters you know and have a good chat? Leave the dinner to me! You guys can just come back around six."

Lin Qing saw that she was a little hesitant, and then continued, "Really, go quickly! You are busy at home every day, let me honor you today."

"Okay, I'll enjoy the blessing of being my daughter today." Mother Lin packed up and went out.

After they all left, Lin Qing started thinking about what to cook for dinner tonight.

How about going to the supply and marketing cooperative?

She did what she said. She just took out her cloth bag, and then thought a basket would be more suitable for buying vegetables, so she exchanged the cloth bag for a basket. Finally, she took her own cloth towel, locked both rooms, and went out.

When she went out, she looked at the yard and saw that the children were all out and it was not yet time to cook dinner, so it was quite quiet.

She walked out of the yard while thinking about this.

How to say it?

Lin Qing felt that she had a bit of luck, as she just happened to catch the last wave of meat.

Tsk, it was snatched away too quickly, it didn't even reach them. If she hadn't decided to go out for a walk on a whim, she would have missed it.

After she bought the last half pound of meat, she saw a few cleanly shaved large bones on the table. "Comrade, do you want a ticket for these bones?"

The butcher took a look at Lin Qing's clothes. He didn't have any patches on his clothes. He knew he was not short of money, so his attitude became better. "No ticket required. One bone is 1 cent."

"Then give me two!" Lin Qing said quickly.

"OK."

Lin Qing squeezed out of the crowded crowd and went to the vegetable stand to have a look. There were the same three common things: potatoes, radishes, and cabbages.

Lin Qing didn't pick and choose. He estimated the weight he could carry and took a little of each.

Let’s have stewed potatoes with meat, spicy stir-fried cabbage, and radish and bone soup in the evening!

Pair it with the extra steamed buns we made this morning and that should be enough!

Lin Qing walked back to the compound carrying the basket, walking slowly. He met people from time to time on the way and chatted with them. As a result, when he returned to the compound, it was almost time for dinner.

As soon as she stepped into the courtyard, she saw that most of the young wives in the front yard were already in the yard. She exclaimed quietly in her heart.

There are quite a lot of people here today!

Lin Qing looked at Wang Qiaomei and Zhang Mengyun very secretly again and found that the two were actually talking and laughing.

Lin Qing was a little surprised. If she didn't know the complicated relationship between them, she would definitely sigh: What friendly neighbors who love each other!

But now, when she looks at it, no matter how she looks at it, it seems so weird!

Qin Xianglian looked at Wang Qiaomei and Zhang Mengyun with hatred at the door.

Lin Shu sat at the door calmly. Mrs. Jiang was finally forced out and was washing vegetables under the faucet.

Jiang Li is cleaning the iron pot and preparing for dinner.

As soon as Lin Qing walked in, he received all their attention.

Wang Qiaomei and Zhang Mengyun glanced at her and then ignored her tacitly; Jiang Li nodded silently and greeted her; Jiang Dasao was probably not very willing, with a bit of a sour face, she glanced at her and then looked away; Lin Shu was in a good mood and glanced at her twice more; Qin Xianglian looked at her with her eyes rolling around, not knowing what to do.

Lin Qing blinked twice, taking in everyone's reactions, and continued walking forward.

Halfway through the walk, Qin Xianglian suddenly smiled and said to her, "Lin Qing! Are you going to the supply and marketing cooperative? What did you buy today?"

"Ah?" Lin Qing's eyes almost popped out. When did they become so familiar with each other?

"I didn't buy anything, just some vegetables!" What vegetables can be found in this vegetable stand now? Isn't it just potatoes, radishes, and Chinese cabbage?

Qin Xianglian: “…” She heard that there would be meat today. If her family had been out of meat coupons, she would have gone to grab some.

Didn’t Lin Qing get any meat when he went out?

Otherwise, if you have snatched it, why don't you tell it out and show off?

This is a little different from what she thought!

If it were her, after finally getting to eat meat, she would definitely show off to others!

If Lin Qing knew what she was thinking, she would probably roll her eyes on the spot. She was not that stupid. If she really showed off like that, wouldn't she be hated?

During this special period, we need to keep a low profile.

"Didn't your family buy meat?" Qin Xianglian said loudly.

"Ah?" Lin Qing blinked in confusion.

I can only say that some people have very sharp ears. Aunt Gu rushed out like a whirlwind, "Meat? Where is the meat?"

Aunt Zhou and Aunt Jiang also ran out of the room, "Has the supply and marketing cooperative delivered meat?" They had kept all the meat coupons issued this month and were just waiting for the meat to arrive!

Lin Qing looked at their burning gazes and finally didn't hide it. Anyway, if she really did it later, she probably wouldn't be able to hide it. "The supply and marketing cooperative has come..."

Before she finished her words, several aunts had already rushed out of the yard.

Lin Qing Erkang tried to stop him, "Hey... well... there's only a little left when it's my turn..."

She blinked innocently. This couldn't be... blamed on her, right?
