"Xiaofang, does your mother have a boyfriend?"
Zhou Xinfang shook her head: "I don't know either."
Liu Qingqing nodded and said, "Then you wait first, I'll go after I park the car."
At this time, whether in the city or in the village, food is the most scarce, and no one will treat you to a meal without a good reason.
Of course, if someone really invites you to dinner, others will not come empty-handed.
The last time we had dinner together was when Song Jinglin just bought this house.
The Zhou couple also came with canned food and snacks.
She went into the house and changed into almost the same clothes. She had been busy all day in the same clothes that she wore that morning. There was sweat inside and dust outside, which was really uncomfortable.
He took a net bag, filled it with a dozen eggs, and carried it over.
"Sister-in-law, I'm coming."
When Liu Qingqing entered the room, she saw Mrs. Zhou waving her hands in the kitchen to stir-fry some fish.
"Well, I just came here for a quick meal, why are you carrying things?" Mrs. Zhou threw the eggs into the pot and rubbed her hands on her apron as she walked.
"It's nothing, just a few eggs."
Mrs. Zhou took the egg net bag with a smile and said, "Don't be so polite, my dear. Just having a simple meal here is like being at home. Fang, take your aunt to sit inside."
"Hey." Zhou Xinfang responded and took Liu Qingqing's hand and walked into the inner room.
Mrs. Zhou went back into the kitchen, put the eggs in the cupboard, thought for a moment, and then took out four more to fill a bowl.
Liu Qingqing looked at Mrs. Zhou's actions and raised her eyebrows slightly. It seemed that this was not a simple matter.
When the food was served, Liu Qingqing realized that Zhou Renyi was not around.
"Sister-in-law, isn't Big Brother coming to dinner?"
Mrs. Zhou smiled and brought the last dish. "He's been out doing business these past few days. Come on, come on, pick up your chopsticks."
"Okay, I won't pretend with my sister-in-law."
Except for a plate of eggs, the other dishes all had some meat slices.
Seeing that she was just picking up the vegetables to eat, Mrs. Zhou stood up and picked up a few slices of meat for her with her chopsticks.
"Come on, don't just eat vegetables."
Mrs. Zhou's family was well off, and her children were well educated. Although she was envious of the meat and vegetables, she did not rush to grab them.
Take a piece of meat or egg and eat it slowly with vegetables and rice.
The couple's combined income should be more than 80 yuan per month.
If they want to help me buy something that's in short supply, I'll just say hello.
Liu Qingqing really couldn't imagine what she needed to ask of herself.
Seeing that Mrs. Zhou had no intention of speaking, she just pretended not to know.
"Qingqing, eat eggs. You brought this plate of eggs. My family hasn't bought any in a while. We can't buy any at the grocery store."
Liu Qingqing smiled and said, "Then come find me, sister-in-law. I promise I can buy it for you. We have such a relationship, why not use it?"
"Well, it's not like I can't eat all the time. I haven't had a shortage of food for a few days." There is no time to ask for help now. But if it really is winter, you have to get up early in the morning to line up, and a group of people will rush to buy it. You may not be able to buy it for sure.
"It should be available tomorrow. We just went to the brigade below to purchase a batch today. We'll have more in a couple of days. I guess we won't be in such a shortage anymore."
"That's great! I get terrified when I think about having to fight for food in winter."
Seeing Liu Qingqing put down her chopsticks, Mrs. Zhou made room for her and said, "Qingqing, don't put down your chopsticks. Eat more. There are still steamed buns in the pot."
Then he stood up and went to the kitchen to bring out a plate of big steamed buns.
"Sister-in-law, I'm really full." Liu Qingqing waved her hands repeatedly.
Mrs. Zhou said angrily, "What's the point of being full? You work so hard, so you have to eat a big steamed bun."
