After several people discussed it, in fact, even if Su Xia bought so much, there would still be some left in the village. They were still thinking of asking the leaders whether they would accept it.
The captain looked at Su Xia's indifferent expression and was also worried. "Jianguo's wife, I can give this to you. I only have so much to take back. Don't you want to eat too much and not waste it?"
Su Xia saw everyone's confusion and guessed what they were thinking. It was nothing more than that one adult and two children couldn't eat that much.
"Captain, don't you see that my two children have three meals a day and they are well fed. I have to prepare some extra snacks."
A group of people looked at Niuniu who was standing next to Su Xia. She was fat and tall, and looked like a seven-year-old child.
Looking at Dabao, who is behind Chen's mother, he looks like a doll in a New Year picture. There has never been such a chubby child in the village.
The secretary looked at Dabao curiously and asked, "Does your little one also want to eat now?"
Su Xia rolled her eyes. Is her child that fat? Why are they all so curious?
"Secretary, Dabao now has three meals a day, one meal consists of half a steamed bun and vegetables, at least two eggs a day, and a big bowl of milk powder.
As for Niuniu's meal, which is a big steamed bun, can you calculate how much food I need to prepare?
Suo Bo looked at the two children in disbelief, and Niu Niu was so scared that she had to hide behind Su Xia. As for Dabao, he looked at Suo Bo bravely.
Ahem....
"That's all. When the kids eat again next year, prepare some more."
Rice is now only 0.2 yuan per pound, and rice flour is 0.3 yuan per pound. 500 pounds of rice only cost 100 yuan.
Potatoes and sweet potatoes are 0.1 cent per pound, so the total cost is 60 yuan.
Soybeans, mung beans, and red beans are all sold at 0.1 cent per pound, a total of 9 yuan. Cabbage and radishes are 0.02 yuan per pound, a total of 10 yuan.
In the end, Su Xia spent 179 yuan, and after everything was installed, she asked the Chen fathers in the old house to go back, and she stayed to look after the food.
Dabao was taken away by Chen's mother a long time ago because he started yawning.
Su Xia looked at Niuniu beside her and asked, "Aren't you going back?"
Niuniu shook her head: "Mom, I'll stay with you."
She had to help her mother look after the food: "Mom, if we don't have these, we won't be hungry next year."
Su Xia looked at the kid curiously: "When did your mother let you go hungry? Why are you so worried?"
Niuniu frowned: "Mom, I don't remember either. I always feel like I have Russian belly. It's so uncomfortable!"
As she spoke, she touched her belly.
Su Xia looked at the cub. Although she only had memories before the age of three, if something left a particularly deep impression on her, she would also remember that moment.
Niuniu should only remember the feeling of being hungry during the period of time when the original owner took her here before she came here.
Su Xia held her small body in her arms. The people who lived in the old houses in the village said that the baby was fat, but in her opinion, she was just an ordinary child, and compared with the children of later generations, she was still thin.
It's just that in this era when people generally don't have enough food or warm clothes, I'm a little fatter than the children here.
"Don't worry, I will never let you go hungry."
Niuniu also hugged Su Xia tightly: "Mom, you'd better stay with me forever, okay?"
Su Xia rolled her eyes: "I'm not with you, where am I?
Besides, when you grow up and go to school, will I still follow you?"
Niuniu tilted her head back and thought for a long time, then shook her head.
"Mom, just wait for me at home. I want to go to school and support you in the future!"
Su Xia hugged her little body with emotion. She began to understand the joy of raising a child. Sometimes a child will really heal you!
"Okay, Mom will wait for our Niuniu, okay?"
Niu Niu hugged her beloved mother. It seemed that her mother had never hugged her like this since her brother came. Today, while her brother was not around, she had to hug him well!
Just as the mother and daughter were experiencing the mother-daughter relationship, Chen Jiandang and Chen Jianjun from the old house also pushed a cart over?
"Sister-in-law, you should go back too. These are all we have left. Let's take them back together. Just wait for us at home."
Su Xia also nodded: "Okay, then I'll trouble you!"
Su Xia took Niuniu with her. The two walked home slowly hand in hand.
When I got home, I found Dabao was already asleep on Chen's mother's kang in the old house.
Sending Niuniu to play by herself, Su Xia began to sort out the food.
Space had been cleared in the cellar long ago, with shelves filled with dried vegetables, pickled vegetables, various cans, chili sauce, tomato sauce, and preserved fruits.
There were also radishes, potatoes and sweet potatoes harvested from the back mountain. In fact, these were enough for Su Xia and her two daughters to eat for a year. However, Su Xia wanted to continue feeding the pigs, and some of them could be sold for money.
If you don't do anything to make money, wouldn't that be stupid?
After returning to the kitchen, there was a sack on the ground, which contained the snacks I had just bought.
After Chen Jiandang and Chen Jianjun put them away, Su Xia took 5 eggs at a time.
"Take this back to nourish your brother and sister."
The two brothers didn't hesitate and put the eggs directly in their pockets. They also knew that Su Xia had a lot of chickens. In fact, there were quite a few eggs in the old house, but Chen's mother was very careful in her life, so she kept half of them for health supplement and usually passed them down as salt matches.
After Su Xia sent the two girls away, she picked out the damaged potatoes and sweet potatoes and began to use the space to move them to the cellar for storage.
There is a jar in her kitchen now, which contains pickled mustard greens. It has been six or seven days and will not be eaten until a month later.
One jar is filled with water, and another large jar is prepared for pickling sauerkraut.
After everything was done, Su Xia began to prepare dinner. She put half a bowl of rice in a big pot and started to cook porridge. She put a little minced meat in the middle, and when it was almost done, she added some pickled MSG, two egg washes, and chopped vegetables.
After the porridge is ready, bury two sweet potatoes and potatoes in the stove pit.
Su Xia went to the old house to pick up the two children.
When she arrived at the kitchen, her two younger siblings were cooking. When they saw her coming, they started to greet her.
"Come and clean up, mother is in the room with Dabao!" Xia Laidi pointed to the bedroom door.
Su Xia nodded and was about to go in when she heard her third brother's wife calling her.
"Sister-in-law, thank you for the eggs you gave to Jianjun just now." Liu Chunxia was still a little embarrassed, but she still had to say thank you.
"Sister-in-law, I really miss you!" Xia Laidi had no choice but to thank him, otherwise Chen Jiandang would have to punish her if he knew she didn't say anything nice.
"I have to thank you, otherwise I wouldn't know how to transport the food back.
Okay, you two go ahead and do your work, I'll go find mom first."
After saying that, he went straight into the house. Su Xia touched her cheek and said, "Don't fake smile in the future. It's too tiring."
When Dabao saw Su Xia coming, he crawled over and kept shouting "Mom..."
Mother Chen hurriedly supported her to prevent her from falling.
"What are you thinking, old man? Is your child calling you?"
Su Xia hurried over to hug Dabao and asked, "Do you miss your mother?"
Dabao has been leaning on Su Xia's shoulder, muttering "Mom - wants..."
Mother Chen looked at Su Xia jealously. Sun was still with his mother.
"Yes, mother, how much food did you and father buy?"
"100 kilograms of rice and 200 kilograms of potatoes and sweet potatoes. Ask your father to deliver them to you in the evening."
Su Xia calculated the total amount to 40 yuan.
Then he took out 40 yuan from his pocket and handed it to Chen's mother.
"Here, mother, keep it well!"
Mother Chen was happy to see the money and quickly put it away. Then she told Su Xia: "Be careful and only take a little at a time, okay?"
Su Xia was holding Dabao and wanted to go back to eat. Seeing Chen's mother's worried eyes, she said, "Don't worry. I'll send you and Dad some good things later. You two just wait!"
"Stop talking nonsense, go back quickly, the child is hungry!
Why.....
Now everyone in the village knows that you two kids eat a lot and eat eggs every day! "
Su Xia curled her lips: "It doesn't matter if you know. I don't want to let two children go hungry because of your worries."
Dabao: "Mom, I'm hungry-"
Mother Chen started to chase him, "Go quickly, don't let my grandson starve. If you don't have enough to eat, come to me!"
Su Xia had no choice but to bring the child with her, say hello to the people in the old house, and take Niuniu home for dinner.
