Xu Qi was really helpless with this quirky and shy young educated youth. Logically, they knew each other, but coupled with his relationship with Brother Yuan, he felt strange being called comrade all the time.
"Little educated youth, after all, we have met so many times, and we are somewhat related. Why are you still so polite to call me Comrade Xu? If you don't mind, you can call me Brother Xu."
"Thank you, Brother Xu." Song Tanglan thought about it and decided that according to seniority, they were indeed of the same generation, so there was nothing wrong with calling him brother.
"Well, I'll be leaving first."
Song Tanglan looked at his receding back and then happily returned to the house. Song Tangcheng had just seen his younger sister chasing after him and guessed that she had something to say to Xiaoqi. He was just a little curious about when their relationship had become so good.
Although she was curious, she had no intention of following out and eavesdropping.
Seeing my little sister come back so happy, I asked curiously, "What makes my little sister so happy?"
"Second sister, you will know when the time comes."
"Oh, you have your own little secret!" Seeing her so happy, Song Tangcheng did not forget to tease her. He just kept thinking in his mind when the two of them had such a close relationship, but she knew nothing about it.
Could it be that without her knowing, their relationship had progressed rapidly?
At this moment, Song Tanglan was immersed in the joy of buying spare ribs, and had no idea that her second sister had already got the wrong idea.
His mind was now full of food, thinking about how he would secretly get the ribs and add a few pounds to the mixture.
Then they can eat several meals of spareribs. Although there is not much meat in the ribs, they are still very popular in this era, especially among pregnant families, who like to buy some and make some soup for pregnant women.
If it weren't for the fact that the road to town is so difficult to travel in the middle of winter, she would have wanted to go to town and buy it herself.
…
Time passed in a flash, and it was the time they had agreed upon. That day, Song Tanglan had been warming herself by the fire in the kitchen. Since noon, she had been looking outside from time to time.
But there was no sound at the door, and it was snowing lightly. Just when she thought Xu Qi would not come today, a sound came from the door.
Song Tangcheng and his wife are taking a nap now, so it is impossible for them to appear at the door, so the noise is most likely from Xu Qi.
Song Tanglan immediately put on her scarf and gloves, and happily went to open the door. Sure enough, she saw the person she had been looking forward to all day.
Xu Qi was a bit surprised to see her open the door so quickly, but once he realized what was happening, he teased her. "Oh, you've been waiting the whole time! Brother Xu wasn't lying to you. The ribs you requested are in there. Do you think they're enough?"
"Hehe, thank you Brother Xu. Please come in first. It's very cold outside. By the way, my second brother-in-law and second sister are taking a nap. Do you need me to call them?" Song Tanglan took the package from his hand and invited him in.
"No need, I came to see you." The two walked into the living room, and Song Tanglan immediately poured him a full bowl of sugar water that was hot on the stove.
After seeing him pick up the sugar water and drink it, I opened the package and saw that the ribs inside were very fresh, but now they were frozen hard. Judging from the number of ribs, there should be more than 5 kilograms.
"How much is it here? I haven't bought meat since I went to the countryside, so I don't know, but it looks like more than 5 kilograms. Brother Xu, you better tell me the truth, otherwise I won't buy things from you next time."
Song Tanglan was a person who didn't like to owe others anything. Moreover, he felt bad for troubling others to help carry things, and he couldn't let others spend money.
"Oh, you young educated youth have quite good eyesight. You figured that out. There are about 7 pounds in here, so just calculate it as 5 pounds. Pork is 1.3 yuan per pound, and spare ribs are cheaper, 0.8 yuan per pound, no ticket required."
"Okay, okay, then you sit here and wait for me, I'll go get you the money." After saying that, he ran back to the room, took out 7 yuan from the space, grabbed a handful of candy from the bag of snacks, and then returned to the living room.
Hand all these things over to Xu Qi.
"You gave me too much, young educated youth." Xu Qi looked at the obviously overpaid bills in his hand and reminded him helplessly.
"It's not much. Don't try to trick me. There's obviously more than 7 kilograms here. Besides, how can I let you spend all the money? It's already troublesome enough for you to buy things for me. This candy is just extra money for your travel expenses."
Song Tanglan knew that he had connections, otherwise it wouldn't be so easy for him to buy so many ribs, but this was not a reason to let others suffer losses.
"Okay, I'll take it. Next time if you need to buy something, remember to come to me. Brother Xu will definitely get it for you."
"Okay, thank you Brother Xu." Song Tanglan was very happy to meet Xu Qi, thinking that he would now have a way to buy food and various foods in the future.
"Then I'll go first." Xu Qi thought of his brother-in-law who was still waiting for him to drink, so he said goodbye and left.
After everyone left, Song Tanglan saw that there was no movement in the house, so he took the ribs to the kitchen.
She took out three pounds of pork ribs from the space last night and put them in the room to freeze, so that she could put more in later. However, she didn't expect Xu Qi to buy her seven pounds of pork ribs, so she could put more in. Anyway, her second sister and brother-in-law would not ask Xu Qi how much she bought.
It was still fresh after being taken out of the space, and not frozen hard, so she could only take out another two pounds of ribs from the space immediately before they got up, put them aside and added water to thaw them, as if they had just been taken out and thawed.
As long as people don't pay too much attention, they will notice this little detail, and she can successfully confuse them.
