Chapter 44
The real touch brought Jiang Meishu back to her senses. She looked up at Liang Qiurun and murmured, "Lao Liang, why are you here?"
Liang Qiurun, "Just happened to pass by here."
He frowned as he looked at the trailer full of cabbages, which, together with the trailer, weighed at least a hundred pounds.
"Why are you the only one here to get the cabbage?"
The girl was so thin and frail, how could she possibly do this? Those who came to stock up on cabbage were usually strong laborers or older women.
Jiang Meishu felt the heat on her face still lingering, and she subconsciously said, "There aren't enough people at home. My mom is waiting in line at the supply and marketing cooperative, so I came to the department store."
Liang Qiurun, "Tundong cabbage?"
Jiang Meishu nodded.
"How can this be enough?"
It looks like there are at least dozens of them, but if you really start eating them, I'm afraid they will be gone in a few days.
Jiang Meishu said, "There's only so much supply for each household. There's nothing we can do."
Liang Qiurun took note of it. He looked at the mess on the ground and said, "Put it in the car. I'll have Secretary Chen take you back later."
Jiang Meishu was stunned.
Secretary Chen too.
Secretary Chen almost subconsciously said, "Leader, you still have a meeting at 11 o'clock this morning!"
Everyone is waiting.
Seeing that Secretary Chen was still stunned, Liang Qiurun looked at him and said, "You take Xiao Jiang home, I'll go back to the office by myself."
The department store is not far from the meat processing plant.
Secretary Chen snapped back to reality at this point, "Oh, okay."
They helped to move the cabbages. The cabbages that were difficult for Jiang Meishu to move were quickly moved into the trunk of the car by Liang Qiurun and Secretary Chen.
There was one small trailer left.
Jiang Meishu said quickly, "I borrowed this from the department store and I'm returning it now."
An empty truck is easier to tow, unlike one with cabbages on it, which always veers in one direction.
She quickly returned the trailer to Xiao Xu and signed a return date on the form.
When Jiang Meishu came over, the trunk of the black car was already filled with cabbages, neatly stacked.
Even the tilt angle is the same.
This is obviously the work of Liang Qiurun, because only Liang Qiurun would have such rigid rules.
However, Secretary Chen was the only one left outside the car door.
Seeing Jiang Meishu looking over.
Secretary Chen explained, "The leader has a meeting at eleven o'clock. If you don't go now, it will be too late. He asked me to take you home first."
Jiang Meishu understood, this was the workaholic Liang Qiurun.
She said to Secretary Chen, "Excuse me."
The tip of his nose was covered in sweat.
During this period of time, she was sweating all over. She was anxious and panicked.
Secretary Chen shook his head, opened the car door, and when he saw Jiang Meishu sitting in, he went to the driver's seat and started the accelerator. "We should go to the lantern alley, right?"
Jiang Meishu nodded and said softly, "Yes."
Secretary Chen turned the car around with ease, changing direction. He was already very familiar with the route to Deng Hutong. Of course, he would become even more familiar with it in the future.
Leaders and leaders lover.
In essence, they are all people he should treat well.
The car is fast and there is no need to stop along the way, which brings a lot of convenience to Jiang Meishu.
It took only about half an hour for the car to travel from the State-owned Hotel to Qudeng Hutong.
And Wang Limei had just finished queuing.
I just felt that the car was familiar. Aunt Li next to me had already started talking, "I think this car came to pick up your Meilan last time."
Now Wang Limei also remembered, "This is Director Liang's car."
She had sat there before.
I was just wondering why Director Liang came to their alley at this time, but Meishu was not at home.
As a result, the next second, the car stabilized.
Jiang Meishu got out of the car.
Wang Limei was surprised and walked over quickly. "Meishu, weren't you going to buy cabbage? Why are you in Director Liang's car?"
Jiang Meishu hadn't expected such a coincidence. She ran into her mother at the entrance of the alley after buying cabbage. She pursed her lips and explained, "Something happened on the way, and I happened to run into Director Liang. He asked Secretary Chen to take me back."
After he finished speaking, Secretary Chen got out of the car and opened the trunk.
Move the neatly arranged cabbages down one by one.
Jiang Meishu and Wang Limei also joined in, but Secretary Chen subconsciously refused, "Leave it alone, I'll do it."
This is just like asking the leader to move cabbages.
Oh my god.
He is an unqualified secretary.
Jiang Meishu shook her head, "Secretary Chen, I'm already very satisfied that you can send me back."
"Just leave these cabbages on the ground. My mom and I will be able to move them back soon."
Secretary Chen didn't care, "It's not a big deal."
"Put them all in the bags, and I'll carry them over one bag at a time."
Although he has no other characteristics, he still has some strength. Looking at Jiang Meishu's small body, thin and weak, it's no wonder that the leader asked before why there was only Jiang Meishu.
Jiang Meishu is not good at refusing people, so she looked at Wang Limei for help.
Wang Limei thought about it and decided to go to the nearby supply and marketing cooperative and buy two bottles of Beibingyang soda.
Now, Jiang Meishu understood immediately.
I ran all the way to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought two bottles of Beibingyang soda, panting. The soda sold at the supply and marketing cooperative was much cheaper than at the entrance of the cinema.
It's 25 cents a bottle here, but it's 35 cents in the cinema.
It’s really a scam.
Jiang Meishu bought orange and apple flavored soda and went home.
She came back just in time when Secretary Chen had just helped to stack a bag of cabbages at the door of the Jiang family's house. The house was too narrow and there was no room for them.
Therefore, the cabbages and honeycomb coals of every household are placed under the eaves at the door.
"Secretary Chen."
"Come and drink some water." Jiang Meishu walked over and handed it over.
Secretary Chen was a little surprised and waved his hands quickly, "Comrade Jiang, there's really no need. This is what I should do."
"The leader should have come, but he had a meeting and couldn't leave, so I came in his place."
"Comrade Jiang, please don't be so polite to me, or I'll feel ashamed."
this--
Jiang Meishu thought for a moment and said, "It's just a bottle of water. Even if Liang Qiurun comes to help, I will still get him water."
She spoke sincerely.
Secretary Chen had no choice but to accept the bottle of orange juice.
Jiang Meishu pursed her lips and handed over the other bottle, "Give this bottle to Liang Qiurun for me."
"I thank him."
The gift may be small but the sentiment is great.
When she becomes rich, she will thank him very much!
Secretary Chen was surprised. This time, he accepted the orange juice very straightforwardly. He even said as he left, "My boss would definitely be very happy if he saw this."
Somehow, he just knew.
Jiang Meishu's face flushed, and she said embarrassedly, "Thank him for me."
Secretary Chen left with two bottles of Beibingyang soda.
Jiang Meishu turned around and met her mother Wang Limei's gratified eyes. "Not bad, not bad. You've grown up and understand the ways of the world."
In Wang Limei's eyes, her little girl is out of touch with the world.
As a result, he doesn't understand the ways of the world.
That's why she was so worried when Aunt Hehua suggested that Jiang Meishu go to buy cabbage alone.
This child has been spoiled from the beginning.
From the past to the present.
Even if she is an adult.
Wang Limei still treated her as a child.
Many times, when Jiang Meishu felt that her mother did not love her, she would think of this scene.
Only mother.
That's why he still treats her as a child even though she is 22 years old.
Only at this time would Jiang Meishu realize that she had once been deeply loved.
She pursed her lips and smiled, "Didn't you teach me that?"
As the mother and daughter were talking, Aunt Li from next door came over and asked, "Did Director Liang just send someone to bring you back?"
Very gossipy.
"Just to give you these cabbages?"
Jiang Meishu nodded and said "hmm".
"Oh my god, Director Liang is so extravagant! I heard that car is a gas guzzler, and the oil it uses is more expensive than the oil we eat. And he's just giving you cabbage like this?"
Aunt Li's eyes almost popped out of her head. "How much will the loss be?"
This left Jiang Meishu unable to answer. She pursed her lips and said nothing.
Aunt Hehua next to her took a look at Jiang Meishu's appearance. She had picturesque eyebrows and fair skin. She was wearing a red denim coat. It was obviously loose, but it couldn't hide her slim figure. Her waist was as thin and soft as a willow branch.
No wonder Director Liang is so attentive.
Aunt Hehua understood, "Old Li, this is what you don't understand. Director Liang is doing this to win a beautiful woman's smile. What is the beacon fire drama?"
This is a bit too much.
Wang Limei's smile instantly vanished. "Hehua, you can't say that. If you continue, you'll be acting like a capitalist."
"We are a working-class family."
"Even if it's Director Liang, he only joined the army because of his clean family background. He returned from demobilization and became a factory director. Our two families would never do such a capitalist thing."
This is a bit serious.
Aunt Hehua's expression suddenly turned awkward, and she added, "Isn't this a compliment to your family? With Meilan marrying Director Liang, your family will be considered—"
She made a gesture and said, "Fly!"
In the past, the Jiang family was not well-known in the entire compound. Those who were better off worked in the meat processing factory.
To put it bluntly, he is a stinky pig butcher!
Wang Limei chuckled and didn't talk to Aunt Hehua. Instead, she turned around and pulled Jiang Meishu into the house.
At night, when everyone at home is around.
Wang Limei ordered all the cabbages she bought today.
Jiang Meishu bought 55 kilograms.
She bought five kilograms of cabbage and used sweet words to get through the back door. After a long time, the other party gave her two extra cabbages.
"That means our family has 55 kilograms of cabbage for the winter."
It sounds like a lot.
But this is eaten from November to next spring.
Lin Qiaoling subconsciously said, "That's about four months, which means about ten kilograms of cabbage a month on average."
"How can this be enough?"
Wang Limei said, "Even if it's not enough, we have to find a way to get some pickles and sauerkraut. If that doesn't work, we can go to the countryside and pick up some cabbage leaves. We'll pickle some sauerkraut and eat it after the New Year."
This is the person in charge of the family, and he has to worry about everything.
Jiang Meishu was stunned for a moment, "Picking cabbage leaves?"
"Yeah." Wang Limei said, "Someone at your aunt's place grows cabbages. They harvest the cabbages and basically throw away the outer layer of leaves, which aren't very good. If we can pick them up, we can make pickles out of them."
To be honest, Jiang Meishu has never picked up vegetables in her life.
In her previous life, she was raised and pampered by her parents.
In this life, I was raised and pampered by Wang Limei.
Seeing her daughter's expression, Wang Limei sighed, "It's good to have something to eat. It's better than nothing. Don't you remember during the famine years? Everyone was eager to eat even cabbage leaves and locust tree bark."
Jiang Meishu was stunned for a moment, but now her mind was turning quickly, "Mom, there's not enough food at home, can't we go to the countryside to exchange for some?"
“It’s like exchanging cotton.”
It just so happened that she had some money.
"You have a beautiful idea."
"It's possible to change, but there are risks, and our family won't take that risk."
They are all law-abiding people. There was nothing Cotton could do at the beginning. The eldest daughter was left out and the younger daughter got married.
This is an urgent matter and we have to go.
But other than that, Wang Limei is not willing to take risks.
Likewise, she wouldn't let her daughter take this risk. She even warned her, "You can't go either, right?"
"You all too."
*
Shen family.
When Shen's mother received the news, it was already too late. The food supply book for her family stated that 50 kilograms were supplied, but her family actually only bought 20 kilograms.
When she came back she was looking sad.
"What should I do?"
"There's still more than a month until the Chinese New Year, not to mention Spring. This means our family will have to eat plain rice every day."
"God damn it, they shouted, 'Go buy some cabbage,' but they didn't even shout louder. By the time we got there, it was already too late."
It was only when Wang Limei came over and called her that she remembered.
Jiang Meilan had just returned from selling something. She glanced at the cabbage and said, "It's not enough."
The tone is calm.
"Shen Zhanlie, do you have any ideas?"
This amount of cabbage can't even last a month, let alone three months.
Shen Zhanlie glanced at Jiang Meilan.
Their eyes met.
Both of them saw a bold decision in each other's eyes.
"Mom, leave the cabbage issue to us, we will take care of it."
That night, after it was completely dark.
Jiang Meilan and Shen Zhanlie carried the snakeskin bags and went into their small shack. No one knew what they put in the small bags.
Shen Zhanlie hid it inside his jacket.
As they walked out of the door and out of the slum where they lived.
Jiang Meilan hesitated for a moment and looked back in the direction of the Jiang family. "Should I call my sister along?"
Her parents' family must be short of cabbage too.
Shen Zhanlie shook his head, "No, as soon as you call me sister, Mom will know."
"Mom is a very conservative person. If she finds out, I'm afraid we won't be able to go either."
It has to be said that Shen Zhanlie still understands Wang Limei.
As soon as he said this.
Jiang Meilan also came to her senses. "Forget it, I won't call you sister anymore. Let's go see how much we can buy."
As for calling him "big brother", that is even more impossible.
Jiang Dali and Lin Qiaoling are completely in cahoots. If the eldest brother knows about it, Lin Qiaoling will know about it too.
He is a calculating person and I am afraid he will tell her family about it.
This kind of thing is speculation and the fewer people who know about it, the better.
So, under the moonlight, Jiang Meilan and Shen Zhanlie set out on the road to the countryside.
It was so late that there were basically no cars or even pedestrians on the road.
It was almost thirty miles and took the two of them two hours to walk. When they arrived at Yangshugou, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.
The moon hung high in the sky, illuminating the way forward for the two.
"Are you cold?"
Shen Zhanlie went to ask Jiang Meilan.
Jiang Meilan shook her head. "It was a little cold at first, but it will get warmer soon."
There was still a wave of heat coming out of their bodies. In order to save time, the two of them almost jogged all the way here.
I just wanted to get back before three in the morning.
Shen Zhanlie touched her hand and found that it was indeed warm, so he felt relieved. Arriving at Yangshugou, Shen Zhanlie knocked on a door with ease.
"Uncle Chen."
The cry of "Uncle Chen" startled everyone who was resting in the house. Uncle Chen, wrapped in a sheepskin blanket, came out in the biting cold wind. When he opened the door, he saw Shen Zhanlie and his wife.
He was stunned for a moment, "Why are you here at this time?"
Open the door.
Shen Zhanlie squeezed in and pulled Jiang Meilan in with him. In fact, it can be seen that Shen Zhanlie at this time is not as honest and simple as when he worked in the meat processing factory.
On the contrary, it reveals a bit of sophistication.
If he doesn't squeeze in.
Uncle Chen might not be willing to let them in. After all, this kind of speculation is too risky. No one is willing to take this risk when the conditions are still good.
"There's not enough cabbage in the city, and we're still short of it. Uncle Chen, can you help me fill the gap?"
Uncle Chen subconsciously wanted to refuse.
Shen Zhanlie took out a cloth bag from his cotton coat and revealed the contents.
He said sincerely, "I heard that your grandson recently started school, so I brought some notebooks and pens."
this--
Uncle Chen's eyes immediately lit up. It was rare for someone in their family of three generations to be able to read, so the family naturally wanted to provide well for him.
"And besides that, there's lighthouse soap, needles and thread, matches, and so on."
"You can exchange them for cabbage."
Seeing Uncle Chen's interest, Shen Zhanlie continued, "This isn't a trade, nor is it speculation. It's at most a barter."
Now, Uncle Chen was completely moved.
"Okay, how do you change it?"
Now it was Jiang Meilan's turn to speak. "Cabbage in the city is three cents a pound, and matches are five cents a box. I'll trade a box of matches for two pounds of cabbage."
this--
Uncle Chen thought the price was too low.
Jiang Meilan patiently persuaded him, "This place is thirty miles from the city. Even if you want to go into the city to buy it, you still need travel expenses. We will bring the matches to you in exchange for your cabbage. This means you don't have to leave the house. You will get the matches, a notebook, and a pen, and you can also exchange the cabbage you don't have to eat at home."
"And Uncle Chen, I heard from Zhan Lie that your grandson is a good student. This time I can bring you notebooks and pens, and next time I can bring your grandson textbooks from the city."
"Uncle Chen, think carefully. Which is more important, this little cabbage or raising a grandson who can read and bring honor to the family?"
I have to say.
Jiang Meilan is good at winning people's hearts.
Every aspect of her touched Uncle Chen's heart.
Uncle Chen, who was still hesitant, agreed completely and said, "Switch!"
For the future of our children, even the risk is worth it.
"How many kilograms of cabbage do you want?"
I’m afraid it’s not enough for their family. They planted it all in their private plots. How much can they have?
The remaining cabbages are all public property, and when the harvest comes, the production team leader will distribute them.
Jiang Meilan and Shen Zhanlie looked at each other and the first thing they said was, "Two hundred kilograms."
this--
Uncle Chen said subconsciously, "This is too much."
Jiang Meilan said, "Uncle Chen, cabbage is most in demand only during this time of year. Think carefully. If you don't buy it now, by the time spring comes and the vegetables are ready for consumption, cabbage will be worthless."
"I'm afraid it would have cost less than two cents by then."
This is true, but it is also alarmist.
All I can say is, different people have different opinions.
Uncle Chen also knew that the other party asked him to exchange cabbage because there was a shortage of cabbage in the city.
He thought for a moment and said, "My family can't come up with that much. I'll go to my brother's house and ask if they'll exchange it."
Jiang Meilan nodded and waited in the main hall with Shen Zhanlie.
The other members of the Chen family, whether adults or children, seemed to know that something was going on outside, and no one came out.
Shen Zhanlie thought it would be a good idea to bring his wife along to discuss business.
Every time he had to work very hard to get Uncle Chen to agree, but when his wife came, she could convince him with just a few words.
Not only that, he also dragged Uncle Chen's younger brother into the matter.
This is an extra customer developed.
Shen Zhanlie looked down at Jiang Meilan with unconcealable admiration in his eyes.
Jiang Meilan raised her hand and patted his hand, "Okay, the people are here, watch and learn."
“I may not be able to come next time.”
Shen Zhanlie nodded like a good old dog.
He is just a little fanboy in front of Jiang Meilan.
Uncle Chen came back very quickly. In just three minutes, he brought another person, Second Uncle Chen.
He is his biological brother.
They lived next door. After the family split up, they kept separate rooms, so they lived very close to each other.
"We have more than just cabbage at home, we also have radishes. I'd like to exchange them for some cigarettes, is that okay?"
Now, the air suddenly became quiet.
Shen Zhanlie subconsciously looked at Jiang Meilan.
Jiang Meilan was not at all flustered. She stood up and said slowly, "Cigarettes are very expensive and hard to buy. You need cigarette coupons, which is a bit difficult."
"However, if you really want it, I can get it for you, but the risk is too high, so the price I charge will be higher than in the city."
"If you can accept it, then change it. If you can't accept it, then don't change it."
"The choice is yours."
Jiang Meilan is a natural businessman. Not only did she solve the problem in a few words, but she also threw the problem aside again.
really.
After she said this, Chen Laoer hesitated.
Uncle Chen advised him, "Farmers earn work points, but they don't even have enough to eat all year round. Why bother buying something as expensive as cigarettes? It's simply out of our reach."
Chen Lao Er, "I want to give it to someone."
"Ni wants to be a teacher in the village primary school, so I have to help her build some connections."
Now, Uncle Chen no longer tried to persuade his brother.
Chen Lao Er rubbed his hands together, his face very honest, "I want to give it to someone, comrade, do you have any recommendations?"
“Not too cheap, not too expensive.”
It's too cheap to give away, and too expensive for him to buy.
Jiang Meilan quickly offered a solution, "Then we'll go with Daqianmen. 50 cents a pack, and it's a decent gift."
"Then bring two packs."
Jiang Meilan quickly noted his request and said, "I'll bring it to you next time."
"Cabbage this time?"
She mentioned her request.
Uncle Chen said, "My family's private plot has a lot of cabbages this year. I can give you 100 kilograms."
"And there are also radishes. I can give you fifty kilograms."
At this moment, Jiang Meilan's eyes suddenly lit up, "Okay."
"Still three cents a pound?"
Uncle Chen nodded.
"The radish is heavy, so I'll give you two cents and a half per pound."
That's certainly good.
Jiang Meilan quickly agreed. "Take a look at the things we have here. If you're willing to trade them, you can. If not, we'll pay you. But the payment is limited to the two of you, because you're my acquaintances. No one else can trade with us."
This is considered preferential treatment.
Uncle Chen and Second Chen felt warm in their hearts after hearing this, and thought that Jiang Meilan was a really kind person.
Two hundred kilograms of cabbage and fifty kilograms of radishes.
In the end, twenty boxes of matches and three bars of Lighthouse soap were exchanged for it.
An additional three yuan was added.
They exchanged for 200 kilograms of cabbage and 50 kilograms of radishes.
Before leaving, Shen Zhanlie returned and asked, "Comrade, do you want to exchange eggs?"
"My wife is in poor health and wants to exchange some eggs for nourishment."
Jiang Meilan subconsciously wanted to say no.
Shen Zhanlie refused, "It's rare to find someone who can exchange eggs for it. Take some back and make some brown sugar and egg tea every day to nourish your body."
Without waiting for Jiang Meilan to refuse, Shen Zhanlie bought ten eggs for three cents each.
Not easy to take.
He then said, "Uncle Chen, save me fifteen and I'll come over to exchange them next time."
Jiang Meilan thought the eggs were too expensive, but Shen Zhanlie insisted on having them. Although she said no, she felt warm in her heart.
I feel that Shen Zhanlie’s teaching was not in vain.
Know how to care for people.
There were too many things. The cabbage alone weighed 200 kilograms, filling two whole snakeskin bags, and the radishes were stuffed tightly.
Shen Zhanlie borrowed a shoulder pole from Uncle Chen and carried one bag at a time, weighing more than 200 kilograms.
Jiang Meilan was a little worried, "It's too heavy, please give me some."
"Otherwise, this journey is too long."
Shen Zhanlie stood up while gritting his teeth. He smiled innocently at Jiang Meilan and said, "It's okay. I can carry it. Just hide the eggs in your arms and put them away."
Jiang Meilan was still worried, so she borrowed a sack from Uncle Chen's house and stuffed some radishes into it.
She carried it on her back and said to Shen Zhanlie, "Let's go together."
She smiled, her eyebrows and eyes clear and tough.
This made Shen Zhanlie's heart beat violently as if it had been hit.
He really likes this kind of "Jiang Meishu".
She has a tenacity and courage, and it is because of her influence that Shen Zhanlie embarked on this path.
The way back to the city is not easy.
I had a lot to carry, and by the time I got back to Qudeng Hutong from the countryside, the morning mist was already rising. But at least I had arrived home.
Jiang Meilan checked the time. "Three thirty in the morning."
They went out at eight o'clock last night.
A full seven or eight hours.
As soon as they got home, Mother Shen got up immediately and put on her clothes, “How is it?”
He lowered his voice.
"I got it back."
Shen Zhanlie put the thing on the ground, and the moment he put it down, the thing sank into the room with a dull sound.
"so much?"
Mother Shen exclaimed.
Shen Zhanlie, “I bought two families’.”
"I'll send some of it to the Jiang family before dawn."
When Shen's mother heard this, she didn't object. After all, her son and daughter-in-law brought it back overnight, so it was normal to give some to the in-laws.
Shen Zhanlie poured out the cabbages and radishes, and Jiang Meilan came to pick them. She picked a total of twenty cabbages and more than ten radishes.
We put a full bag together.
Jiang Meilan whispered, "Pick it up for my mother now, while everyone is still asleep."
Otherwise, it would be hard to tell where these radishes and cabbages came from.
Shen Zhanlie also knew the seriousness of the matter. He gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and carried the bag of radishes and cabbages on his shoulders.
Jiang Meilan came out to see him off. It was obviously winter, but Shen Zhanlie's head was full of sweat.
This is the result of a busy night.
Carrying more than 200 kilograms of things on your back for three hours is unbearable for anyone, and Shen Zhanlie is no exception.
Jiang Meilan raised her hand and wiped the sweat off his face with a handkerchief, moving her hand all the way down until she reached his chest. She paused slightly and then raised her hand to pat it.
"I know you worked hard tonight, and I'll wait for you to come back."
She stood on tiptoe, leaned over to his ear, and exhaled sweetly, "Can we change positions?"
The ending tone seemed to contain a small hook, which made Shen Zhanlie feel hot all over.
He wished he could send these things to the Jiang family right now.
"I'll be right back."
It was clearly just one sentence, but it immediately made Shen Zhanlie, who had been listless before, full of energy.
Just like a cow that never gets tired.
*
Liang family.
After Liang Qiurun returned home, he stopped Wang Ma and asked about the family's supplies. "Wang Ma, have we stocked up on winter cabbage?"
Wang Ma was an exception, Liang Qiurun would ask about these details of life. After all, these things were usually left to her.
Faced with his question, Wang Ma hesitated for a moment before saying, "During the day, we stockpiled a hundred kilograms of cabbage and a hundred kilograms of radishes."
When Liang Qiurun heard this, he said, "I understand."
Wang Ma didn't understand what he meant by asking these questions. She wanted to ask clearly, but she was a little afraid of Liang Qiurun.
So I could only nod and retreat.
next door.
Liang's mother also heard that it was Shen Mingying who told her that Jiang Meishu went to the department store to buy cabbage today.
She felt distressed when she heard that.
"With so many people in the Jiang family, why did they only ask a little girl to buy cabbage? How did she carry those dozens of kilograms of cabbage back?"
Shen Mingying thought for a moment and said, "I think I borrowed a small trailer from the company."
She only knew this, but she didn't know that Secretary Chen drove Jiang Meishu back.
When Liang's mother heard this, she felt even more distressed. "It's more than ten miles from the department store to Qudeng Hutong. If I drag it all the way back, I'm afraid my hands will be worn out."
The older generation like her didn't have to suffer this kind of hardship, but a little girl like Xiao Jiang had to suffer it.
Liang's mother said, "No, I want to ask Qiurun what's going on. He doesn't even know that his wife is in trouble."
Shen Mingying, "Mom, I think you shouldn't rush to ask Qiu Run. There's something more important."
"What?"
"Xiao Jiang's family's food allowance is fifty kilograms of cabbage."
Liang's mother said subconsciously, "How can this be enough?"
"yes."
"That's why I said this is the problem Xiao Jiang will face."
"There's not enough vegetables, and it gets harder to buy them as time goes on, especially after the snow, when leafy greens are even rarer."
"It hasn't snowed in the capital yet, so you can still buy some. It will be difficult later."
Mother Liang looked a little solemn, "I understand."
She immediately took action, found her old sisters, and shared some indicators with them.
I don’t know how Liang’s mother did it.
Anyway, by the next morning, she had already prepared a bunch of various seasonal vegetables and found Liang Qiurun.
She went straight to the point, "Qiu Run, take me to the Jiang family."
Liang Qiurun was also busy. He had divided out the cabbages from his home and was moving them into the car.
He was a little confused, "Mother, what are you doing at the Jiang family?"
"Go deliver the food."
"Isn't there not enough vegetables at my daughter-in-law's house? I plan to send some over." Liang's mother said as a matter of course, and then she noticed that Liang Qiurun was also moving cabbage.
She was stunned for a moment, "What about you? Where are you moving to?"
"Jiang family."
Liang's mother looked at the cabbage and searched the car two or three times, but there was only cabbage, no other vegetables.
She was immediately speechless and asked, "You went to the Jiang family and only brought cabbage?"
Liang Qiurun had a bad feeling.
Next second.
Liang's mother looked as if she wanted to poke him in the middle of the forehead with her hand, and her tone was full of disappointment. "Is it that Xiao Jiang doesn't like tofu, bean sprouts, potatoes, eggplant, and pork bones?"
"Or is it that your pig brain can't think of it?"
"Is cabbage all you have in your mind?"
"Liang Qiurun, please be more careful!"
