Reborn in the red years, I am farming in space

Chapter 52 The old lady is not simple

Luo Xuan helped Chen Xiaoduan slaughter the eel, and then bid farewell to her mother and daughter.

Chen Xiaoduan and her mother didn't say much.

Just before leaving the house, the old lady handed Luo Xuan a receipt, "Thank you, young man, this is a little bit of my kindness, let it be a reward for your help, don't think too little."

Luo Xuan stretched out his hand and pushed it back, "Thank you, Auntie, no need."

talking.

Luo Xuan raised the bamboo tube in his hand and said, "I've already taken such a big eel, how can I take your things?"

The old lady stuffed the meat ticket [buy pork five taels with a ticket] into Luo Xuan's pocket.

Then he said, "You took it because our family doesn't eat meat. That fish is like an old cabbage clapper that was peeled off in your house. If I take it away for you, you still have to thank me, don't you?"

Seeing that Luo Xuan was still standing there, the old lady smiled slightly, "You think that fish is your reward, but I think that you are helping me dispose of useless things.

It's just that we have different positions and perspectives.

Take it, or else my heart is not at ease, and I always feel owed and flustered. "

Luo Xuan had no choice but to accept the meat ticket embarrassingly.

Wait until Luo Xuan has just walked out the door.

The old lady's advice came from behind, "Young man, my family is all female relatives, and many things are more difficult than others. You step out of this door, and everything you see and hear today will be thrown back to me, a poor family." Let’s stay in the house, please don’t go out to publicize, okay?”

Hearing this, Luo Xuan paused slightly!
He didn't look back, just nodded heavily, then turned around and left!

This old lady.

not simple!
Wait until the old lady closes the door.

Chen Xiaoduan's voice of reproach came from behind, "Mom, he is only a half-grown boy, why do you say these things to him?"

The old lady locked the door.

Turning around and holding her daughter's hand, she sat at the Eight Immortals table and whispered, "Xiaoduan, do you think he looks like a half-child from the countryside?"

When Chen Xiaoduan heard this, his face flushed slightly.

I saw her drooping her head, wringing her fingers and saying softly: "Mom, did you feel unhappy because he just looked at me in a daze before he entered the door?"

"That's not it."

The old lady smiled, "He looked at you purely, with only admiration in his eyes, without the slightest hint of eroticism in the eyes of the disciples in the provincial capital. It is precisely because of this that I let you take him away." Please come to the house.

Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll drive him away on the spot. "

Chen Xiaodong raised his head and asked her mother with a puzzled expression: "Then why did you say that to him before he left just now? Do you think he can understand?"

The old lady asked back, "Do you think he can't understand?"

Then he patted the back of Chen Xiaoduan's hand, sighed in a low voice, "Mom has experienced a lot of ups and downs in her life, and it can barely be regarded as having seen countless people.

In the period before liberation, did you see too many officials' wives and officials' young masters in the provincial capital? "

"It's just that I'm old! Now, as a mother, I don't understand the world, and I don't understand people today.

Alas, your father has gone 'over there' again, and no one in the family can give us any advice. "

The old lady sighed again, and said: "Especially the spiral just now, I always feel like there is some kind of cloud covering his body. I really can't see his real body clearly, and can't figure out his body." depth."

Chen Xiaoduan raised his head, bit his lips and said, "Mom, I don't want to mention father's affairs. Let's not talk about him in the future, shall we? But, Mom, you are right. The first time I saw Luo Xuan clearly today, I I also feel that there is something unspeakable about him."

"Yes."

The old lady nodded, "It stands to reason that he is a country boy who has never been out of the village, and it seems that his family's conditions are not very good.

But when he received people and things, and in his every word and deed, he didn't have the kind of timid look that the half-children in the country often see in his eyes.

Especially when you handed him the blade just now.I saw it clearly in the room. He was holding the blade at the time, and he looked at the blade very carefully. "

Chen Xiaoduan interjected, "Maybe it's the first time he's seen this kind of razor blade, and he's curious?"

"Absolutely not."

The old lady shook her head positively, "This kind of auspicious blade imported from the United States, the average country boy will be surprised when he sees it for the first time.

But it definitely won't be Luo Xuan's look!
For my mother, I always feel that he seems to know the English letters on it. "

During this period, the school was filled with the essays of Professor Goose.

And that has to wait until after middle school to learn a foreign language.

Luo Xuan is still young, so it is impossible to understand the goose's writing, let alone the enemy's writing that is rotting day by day.

He can't even touch it!
Chen Xiaoduan shook her mother's arm, and said coquettishly, "Oh mom, let's stop talking about this. Hey~ Mom, tell me, do I want to teach in elementary school?"

The old lady stretched out her hand and fondled her daughter's head, "Mother still respects your opinion on this matter. However, my mother suggests that you should go.

First, the leaders of the Education Office have visited you several times to invite you, and you can tell that those two leaders are still very sincere.

Always procrastinating like this, after all, the face of the leader is a bit unsightly.

Secondly, since you have a serious job, we mother and daughter don't have to sell second-hand goods all the time to live. "

"Sell what!"

Chen Xiaoduan pouted: "As for those pearl necklaces and jade seals, no one would buy them if they were taken out. It would be great if there were scalpers."

"If you have a scalper, you have to 'donate' to the People's Bank!"

The old lady's face straightened: "In the future, you can no longer sell my necklaces and pendants! In my opinion, this situation will change. Remember, forget about those things! Xiaoduan, do you remember clearly? ?”

It was rare to see a serious expression on my mother's face.

Chen Xiaoduan pursed his lips, nodded heavily, and agreed.

The two mother and daughter were gossiping at home, but at this time Luo Xuan was in trouble with the big rice field eel.

The eel that has been slaughtered cannot be buried in firewood ash to be eaten, nor can it be sold to Fatty Gu.

But if you want to learn how to cook catfish with garlic in brown sauce like in restaurants, you must first stir-fry the eel segments with oil, and wait until the aroma comes out, and it will be delicious after cooking.

If there is no oil, although the eel is not fishy, ​​it will never be very tasty.

Luo Xuan thought to himself: How about going to buy some oil?

I have two fuel tickets on me.

It was when the families were separated, and the children in the production team were supplied with cooking oil, and Luo Xuan could get 5 taels, 7 cents and 6 cents to buy oil.

For adults, the ration of cooking oil is 2 taels and 8 cents 3 for one month, and the ration of children has to be halved.

Luo Xuan couldn't figure out how the amount was determined, and how did the oil seller weigh it?

2 taels of oil, 100 grams in weight, can barely be weighed.

8 cents of oil, 40 grams, just fill two small tablespoons.

What puzzled Luo Xuan was: the last 3 was only 1.5 grams.

How should the oil mill workers who sell oil accurately measure it?

[Remarks: During this period, the 16 taels system was implemented, that is, there are 1 taels for 16 catty.But in order to make it easier for everyone to understand, I refer to the 10-two system of later generations. 】
