But her two daughters would never listen to her. They didn't expect her to bring so much food when she came back.
Look, there are hundreds of kilograms of food here, plus what she bought at a high price during this period, and what her son-in-law sends her from time to time.
Their family is not short of food now.
However, she did not continue to talk about her two daughters. Knowing that this was their filial piety, she did not say anything more, but looked at the mushrooms, chestnuts and other things beside her.
"So many mushrooms, this must cost a lot of money. Don't let your mother-in-law spend this money next time."
"Mom, these mushrooms are not worth much in the countryside. They are expensive only because they are in the city. That's why they are so expensive. In the countryside, they are not worth much at all."
Song Tangcheng was afraid that his mother would misunderstand, so he went out of his way to explain to her the price difference between the two places.
For example, cloth and cotton are very cheap in City A, but they are very expensive in Ganhe Commune. Even she, who works in a supply and marketing cooperative, is reluctant to spend that money.
It would be better to let her family spend more time to buy it and send it to her in the countryside.
"Is it that exaggerated?" Su He was a little curious when she heard this, but there was still a trace of doubt in her heart. She had heard her daughter say that although the price of grain in the countryside was cheaper than in the city, it was not much cheaper. Of course, she said that before the natural disaster. Now there is really a world of difference.
"Of course. How could I lie to you? If you don't believe me, ask my little sister."
When Song Tanglan heard her second sister put the question aside, she nodded as well.
Although she rarely went to the commune, she was still aware of the prices, and her second sister did not deceive her mother.
"Then are the fabrics in your country very expensive?"
"Yes, the fabrics there are really expensive. Oh, by the way, Mom, I have a mission when I return to the city this time. Someone from the company will come to purchase fabrics in a few days. I'll have to trouble you to give me some advice then."
"No problem. If you ask me something else, I might not be able to give you any advice, but this is very simple."
Upon hearing this, Su He agreed readily. Besides, she grew up in City A and had lived here for more than 40 years, so she was very familiar with the place.
"Thank you, Mom."
Song Tangcheng smiled guiltily and thanked his mother, his hands moving non-stop, taking things out of the package.
Song Tanghong also had to pick up his two children. His daughter was of school age, and his youngest son was clamoring to go with them. For convenience, he sent them directly to school and chose a hotel close to his mother-in-law's house.
Occasionally, I go back to my mother-in-law's house to visit the two old people.
Plus, their cousins also go to that school, so they just happen to have a companion.
Today, Qiao Yue knew that her two sisters-in-law were coming back, so she went out to buy groceries early in the morning.
However, food is in short supply now. Whether they want to buy vegetables or food, they have to queue up in a long line, not to mention buying meat.
Song Tangcheng finally opened three packages and took out another highlight of the day.
He took out everything one by one and saw his mother's shocked and unbelievable expression. She gave Song Tanglan a look that seemed to ask for a beating.
When Song Tanglan saw her second sister's expression, she wanted to roll her eyes at her. She knew without a doubt that it must be intentional. Why did Xu Qi have to take out the gift prepared at the last moment? Wasn't it to attract her mother's attention?
Sure enough, when Su He saw those things, he looked at the two of them with a puzzled look and asked.
"Isn't your place near the sea? Where do these seafoods come from?"
Su He had also seen the world and knew that these things were hard to come by. If they were placed on the seaside, they might not attract attention, but they were inland and not near the sea.
"You'll have to ask your little daughter about that."
Song Tangcheng's words successfully made Su He look at Song Tanglan.
Song Tanglan felt a little embarrassed being stared at. Seeing that there were only three of them in the kitchen, her younger brother had just taken his second brother-in-law and nephew back home to catch up on some sleep, and her eldest brother had also gone out, she hesitated for a moment and said with a slightly red face.
"Mom, I'm dating someone, and he prepared these for me."
"Are you dating? Why didn't you write back to tell me? When did it happen?"
Su He was a little anxious when she heard this, but she was not too worried. After all, she had her second daughter watching over her. Even if her youngest daughter was stupid, she would not be deceived. What's more, she had just seen the expression of her second daughter, and she seemed very satisfied.
No need to guess, the man must be good.
"It happened just a few days before we got on the bus. I didn't know we were going to get on here, so I thought I'd tell you in person. By the way, Mom, can you please not tell Dad yet? Let's talk about it after we get back."
Otherwise he'll start nagging me again.
Song Tanglan looked at her mother but still didn't dare to say the last word.
Su He was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then thought about her unreliable husband, and finally nodded.
"Then tell me, what's that man's name? Where is he from? How many people are there in his family? How old is he? What's his temper like? Is he ambitious?"
Su He was too lazy to pack the package at this time. He pulled the two of them to the living room, sat on the chair and continued to ask about the previous topic.
Song Tanglan was a little overwhelmed by so many questions. Looking at her second sister who was watching the show, she couldn't help but glare at her, but she still answered honestly.
"The man's name is Xu Qi. He's from town. There are four people in his family. He's a nice guy. As for the rest, I don't know. My second sister introduced him to me. You'll have to ask her about this."
