Chapter 75
In fact, Jiang Xue already knew about the situation of several nearby houses when she was cleaning and chatting with Fang Xiaohong the day she rented the house. Just now, she saw that Aunt Wang came out of the house on the left, and she immediately matched the number.

After dismissing Lu Yan and Aunt Wang who was gossiping, Jiang Xue turned her head, looked at Jiang Dabao who was staring at the briquettes on the row car, and said with a smile: "Dabao, go and put the cup away, and auntie and I put the cup away." Move the briquettes in."

"Hey." Jiang Dabao responded, and asked uncertainly: "Auntie, do these all belong to our family?"

"Of course."

The two were talking, and Mrs. Jiang also came out when she heard the movement.

Looking at the briquettes on the cart, I was shocked: "Girl, have you gone to buy briquettes?"

"Ah."

Jiang Xue responded and said with a smile: "There is a coal mining area in Jiangcheng, and briquettes are produced more than other places. It can be 280 catties a season. I thought I always boiled hot water to take a bath, so I asked someone to mix it up and bought four. A hundred catties is definitely enough."

This meeting really found an acquaintance, and Jiang Xue spoke more confidently.

I bought everything, and these are indeed needed, so Aunt Jiang didn't say anything about refunding.

She also knew that it would not be good to tell Jiang Xue to return the things she bought at every turn.

The three of them moved one by one, some were placed under the counter opposite the bathroom in the backyard, and some were placed in a corner of the kitchen.

Jiang Xue washed her hands and went out to return the car. Jiang Dabao also yelled to follow, so she took him with her.

"Auntie, I can actually pick up firewood."

Along the way, Jiang Dabao was obviously a little unhappy, and Jiang Xue only listened to him after asking, and couldn't help laughing.

"I know, but it's not winter. It's convenient to burn briquettes. It only costs one yuan for four hundred catties. It can be used in the spring, which saves a lot of things."

"Dabao, you don't have to worry about these things. It's summer, and when you're free, you can pick them up when you have time."

Jiang Dabao opened his mouth, wanting to say that he has always been free, and now he is learning to read and write every day, and then he is cooking for his aunt, and there is nothing else to do.

"Do you want popsicles?" Passing by the street supply and marketing cooperative, Jiang Xue glanced inside, saw a box wrapped in a thick quilt on the counter, and asked.

Jiang Dabao shook his head quickly: "Don't eat!"

Jiang Xue originally wanted to eat it, but she didn't feel like eating it alone. Seeing Jiang Dabao's resistance and a gust of cold wind blowing, she stopped thinking.

After returning the platoon car, when the two returned home, they happened to meet Aunt Wang who had returned from buying grain at the grain station.

Having said hello before, it will be easier to strike up a conversation now.

Aunt Wang was gossipy and warm-hearted, Jiang Xue didn't even say anything, she just introduced the situation of her family.

As for Jiang Xue, she also showed her kindness generously.

"Comrade Jiang, who were you that police officer just now?"

"Oh, it's a friend of mine." Jiang Xue smiled, looking shy, "He works in the Public Security Bureau."

friend?

Aunt Wang thought in her heart that she was someone she could get along with.

So Aunt Wang smiled more sincerely: "My house lives next door, if there is anything in your house in the future, please come and shout."

"Oh, okay, then thank you, Mrs. Wang."

Jiang Xue boasted without asking for money: "Aunt Wang, you are really warm-hearted. When I moved here, I heard from Aunt Fang in the street that you are the most warm-hearted in our area. If there is anything I don't understand, I will ask you." Exactly."

"That's right, let me tell you, there is no one I don't know in our street." Aunt Wang was praised so much that she couldn't see her eyes.

If it weren't for the crying of her grandson fighting at home, Aunt Wang would still be able to continue chatting with Jiang Xue.

Today is number one.

After buying food, I was finally able to buy some meat to improve my food.

After all, the poisonous tea that suffered from the smell of Jiangxue croquettes and fried pork ribs, today seemed to be revenge, and the neighbors also followed suit.

One person pays two taels of meat per month. For a family of seven or eight people, if you cut half a catty of meat, the family can also taste some meat.

On Jiang Xue's side, the dinner seemed bland, without any meaty smell.

Now, the three of them gathered around the briquette-burning stove, eating fried pork ribs and drinking millet porridge, feeling extremely comfortable.

"Mother, can you make sugar buns?"

Aunt Jiang: "Yes, do you want to eat?"

"A bit." Jiang Xue ate a few pieces of fried pork ribs, feeling a little greasy, and thought of sugar buns for some reason.

Aunt Jiang heard this, thought for a while, and said, "It happens that we have some cornmeal and sweet potato noodles at home, so I'll make sugar buns tomorrow morning."

"Okay."

Jiang Xue naturally wouldn't be polite, her eyes sparkled, and she smiled happily: "Mother, there are two catties of white sugar in the cupboard, please put more in then."

Sugar buns are steamed bun-sized buns filled with white sugar, which tastes sweet. Although there is no meat, it is still a good food.

Jiang Xue didn't understand before, but now, she seems to understand that when supplies are scarce, people's creativity can always make them delicious.

"Okay." Mrs. Jiang agreed with a smile.

She knew that Jiang Xue was still a bit picky about food.

The three people who were given meatballs by Jiang Xue had different situations.

Fang Xiaohong and Chen Jun's hands were almost all seven or eight taels of croquettes, and there could be a dozen of them. If you take it home, you can eat three of them for one point.

It goes without saying that it's delicious. Mrs. Fang is still thinking about whether she should do something in return. After thinking about it, she will steam some steamed rolls and send them to her daughter in two days.

Because Chen Jun borrowed the coal purchase license to buy briquettes for Jiang Xueyun, he naturally felt more at ease, and he felt that he could always help Jiang Xue in the future, so he didn't feel burdened.

On Lu Yan's side, he was working overtime in the dormitory to write a report, and his stomach was growling. Only then did he remember that he hadn't eaten dinner.

He got up and poured himself a glass of water, and when he was about to continue, he suddenly remembered Jiang Xuesai's croquettes, and immediately turned them out.

The meatballs were already cold, but after opening the oiled paper, there was still a hint of meaty smell.

He twisted one and put it in his heart. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a pleasant salty fragrance.

Thinking of the expectant look on her face when she stuffed it to him, Lu Yan chuckled, how could he not see what she was up to.

She's not very old, but she has a lot of eyes, but she's just a godfather, so it's worth her being so active? !

After eating a few, Lu Yan poured another teacup of water, wiped his hands clean, and continued to write the report.

Waking up the next day, seeing the remaining meatballs again, Lu Yan remembered what Jiang Xue said that day.

Is it Qingzhou City?

Urban household registration is of course not that easy to obtain. Except for going to the countryside to recruit workers, it is even more difficult to obtain urban household registration at other times.

In the next few days, Lu Yan wrote letters, sent telegrams, and made several phone calls.
