The few of them walked and stopped, and when they arrived at the delicatessen, it was already three or four in the afternoon.
According to Su Qinghu's experience in his previous life, the least crowded times were around 3 or 4 p.m. in June. But when he went there, only cooked beef and mutton were left; pork with animal fat and some relatively cheap side dishes were already sold out.
Cooked beef is one dollar and eighty cents per pound, while mutton is a bit more expensive, at one dollar and ninety-six cents.
There wasn't much beef and mutton left, and Su Qinghu wanted to have them all.
"Hey! Look who's here?" A crisp voice rang out, followed by another sentence, "Isn't this my little..."
Dadan and Erdan's eyebrows instantly frowned, they pursed their lips tightly and stared at Su Qinghu.
Didn't she say there was a solution? Didn't she say that from now on, this dishonest woman could no longer call them her son-in-law?!
Su Qinghu quickly took a step forward and continued with a smile: "What are you talking about? My sweetheart? Hahaha, sister-in-law, if you like these two children, let's become godparents! From today on, we'll be relatives!"
Mrs. Chang was confused by Su Qinghu's words. What's the sweetheart? Then she said, "Who are you?"
Su Qinghu stepped forward gracefully and said enthusiastically, "I, Su Qinghu, am Chen Lie's newly married wife and the new stepmother of these two children."
Not to mention Dadan and Erdan, even Mrs. Chang was shocked by Su Qinghu's words. Oh my God, this was the first time in her life that she heard someone introduce herself like this!
What new wife, what new stepmother, he just kept talking about it, not afraid of people knowing that she was a new wife...
Besides, I just heard that Chen Lie specially asked for leave to come back and divorce his ex-wife. It’s only been a few days, and he has already married a new one?
She couldn't believe it and turned to look at Dadan and Erdan: "My dear——"
After she had called out, she realized she had called out the wrong name. She uttered two "Pah" sounds and was about to call him "son-in-law" when Su Qinghu stopped her again. "Sister-in-law, let me tell you, either you should become godparents with these two from our family as soon as possible, or stop calling them that. I'm afraid these two kids will take it seriously. The other day, these two bastards said they were going to study abroad and return to contribute to the country. They wouldn't go anywhere else but to the most difficult part of the Northwest to do scientific research."
When Mrs. Chang heard about studying abroad and coming back, her face turned pale.
Studying abroad is so great! Scholarships are worth hundreds of dollars every year. Those with the talent might even get a green card and become citizens of the United States.
If that's the case, my wife can also take advantage of it and immigrate there.
If I come back, I'll go to the most difficult Northwest...
After Su Qinghu finished speaking, she began to praise: "A daughter like the one you raised, Sister Chang, will definitely be able to endure hardships and work hard. If these two boys go to the Northwest, then the family will rely on your daughter..."
Mrs. Chang's body trembled, and she didn't know what she was thinking about, and the flesh on her face twitched unconsciously.
"If the two children really get along well, I have no objection. But I hope you won't regret it when the time comes." Su Qinghu sighed, "Don't underestimate these two children of mine. They are lively, but they are very strict and always keep their promises."
When Mrs. Chang thought of Chen Lie's cold face and his attitude of getting a divorce right away and getting married right away after the divorce, her heart began to twitch and the smile on her face became dry.
Su Qinghu, however, acted as if he hadn't noticed, and continued enthusiastically, "I heard that your family's soldier has been demobilized and has been assigned to a good unit. In another ten years, he might be able to move up a few levels. He naturally has a good impression of national scientific researchers, so he might agree without hesitation..."
Mrs. Chang listened to Su Qinghu's words and began to imagine the future.
The more she thought about her husband's future, the more she felt she was at a disadvantage. The more she thought about his usual behavior, the more she regretted it.
You know what, if it really comes to that, her husband Chang might actually agree to the marriage between the two families!
Even if we advocate freedom of marriage now!
Su Qinghu laughed twice, "Sister-in-law, please take good care of the two children for the next ten years. Just tell me which one you like, and then we can let the children develop feelings for each other earlier!"
Mrs. Chang stopped talking. If her husband, Chang, had moved up a few levels, his daughter could have picked anyone she wanted. Why did she have to pick the fool who always wanted to run to the Northwest?
Her daughter stays in the big city, dresses beautifully all day long, wouldn't it be nice if she could go back to her parents' home with her husband every once in a while?
It smells so good.
It smelled delicious, so she didn't respond to Su Qinghu's question and changed the subject dryly, trying to get rid of her quickly. "What kind of meat do you want, sister-in-law?"
Not to mention her son-in-law, Chang's wife didn't even want to acknowledge her godparents. These days, once a godparent is acknowledged, they have to interact like relatives, and even prepare gifts for festivals.
Su Qinghu: "Sister-in-law?"
She looked at Mrs. Chang in feigned confusion, meaning, weren't we just talking about the two families' children? Why did you suddenly smell buying meat?
Mrs. Chang was embarrassed, but she forced a smile out of consideration for her: "If you want to buy meat, you'll have to hurry. When the weather gets a little cooler, more people will come to the delicatessen, and you may not be able to squeeze past them."
Su Qinghu sighed, "Beef and mutton are delicious, but they are lean meat. I want to give the children some oil..."
Mrs. Chang: "To make up for the oil? Then go buy some pork belly tomorrow morning."
How difficult is that? Just get up early and queue up.
"I don't have any meat tickets." Su Qinghu looked at Mrs. Chang and sighed, "You often call our two sons-in-law, so you must know more about our family affairs than I do. Before... So, there was nothing we could do. We really don't have any meat tickets at home."
Mrs. Chang wanted to knock herself unconscious with the big spoon from the delicatessen! It was all because of her bad mouth. Why did she interrupt for no reason? Listen, what did she mean? Wasn't it obvious that she wanted meat tickets?
She had meat coupons, but her family didn't have many. Well, although they might be a little more than others, they weren't so abundant that they could lend them to others. Besides, both her parents' and her husband's families were counting on her...
"Sister-in-law, do you have any extra meat coupons you could share with me? I'll give them to your two sons-in-law to replenish their bodies." Su Qinghu said sincerely. "I'll return them to you when I get my salary coupons in July."
Mrs. Chang's face looked ugly.
Dadan and Erdan were simply amazed. Could the term "little son-in-law" be used in this way?!
"Not much, just give me three pounds of meat tickets."
As soon as Su Qinghu opened his mouth, Mrs. Chang almost fainted. What kind of person is this? He asked for three pounds of meat tickets right away!
Did the human trafficking tickets come from the wind?
"I……"
Just as Sister Chang started to speak, Su Qinghu said, "Sister-in-law, you don't even have three pounds of meat coupons, do you? I heard that your job is very good, and you can usually..."
