90s Little Struggle

Chapter 81 Acquaintances
Xiao Fang looked at her with a sad face, and said quietly: "The premise is that you can be admitted to university."

Xiao Hong hangs himself on her body angrily, gnashing his teeth and tickling her: "Damn girl, you bullied me again, don't you know how to expose others and not expose weaknesses? You deserve a beating!"

"Hahaha...don't, I was wrong, let me go..."

Yanyan came back from watching TV next door, and when she saw them making a mess, she immediately rushed up happily: "Elder Sister and Second Sister, you are back!"

"Yes, I bought you a scarf and hat." Xiao Hong let go of her sister, and after putting on the scarf and hat for the little one, she felt very cute and couldn't help kissing her a few times: "Yanyan is so pretty."

Yanyan was overjoyed by the praise, her laughter was as crisp as a silver bell.

Today's middle-aged people are mostly introverted, they pay attention to the filial son under the stick, and they don't talk about their likes.

They are more willing to express their love with actions, such as preparing three meals a day.

But Yanyan was young, so she was coaxed by her elder sister's sugar-coated cannonballs and sweet words, and she felt that her eldest sister was the best in the world.

Hearing the laughter of her daughters, Wu Julan couldn't help laughing and discussing with her husband: "The gifts brought by the Xu family are too expensive, why don't you wait until the New Year's Eve?" Shall we bring some presents back too?"

Zhao Laosi's neighbors now have money in their pockets. When they come to eat, they will bring their own wine, and he sometimes chats with him.

He has heard a lot, seen a lot, and now he has more knowledge: "It's a generous gift, these two bottles of Moutai are estimated to cost forty or fifty."

He thought a little far, and lowered his voice: "Take it up and put it away. After a few years, when the future in-laws come to visit, you can take it out to entertain guests."

Even though they can earn forty or fifty dollars a day now, Wu Julan still took a deep breath: "Are these two bottles of wine so expensive? Why did I think the wine you bought for New Year's greetings was expensive?"

They are almost ready for the New Year's goods, he bought a box of Jiannanchun, six bottles of 30 yuan, they all gritted their teeth and bought it.

It's because I earned some money this year that I'm willing to buy such expensive wine for my parents.

You know, in the past, they used to buy loose wine at seven or eight cents a catty.

Cigarettes are also good cigarettes, and Yunyan is about ninety-three cents a pack, and these two will cost nearly twenty yuan.

Zhao Laosan himself doesn't smoke, thinking about taking it out at that time, so that he can pass cigarettes when he visits relatives during the Chinese New Year.

The other ones are about two catties of big white rabbit toffee, and a large bunch of bananas.

After thinking about it, the couple probably couldn't help but click their tongues because the gift might cost nearly 100 yuan.

Life has gotten much better these years, and most of the relatives visiting here are carrying four packs of gifts.

Most of them are a pound of dried longan, a pound of dried lychee, a pound of dried red dates, a pound of white sugar or brown sugar.

However, when carrying such a gift to a relative's house, many relatives are reluctant to eat it by themselves, so they still carry it out as a gift.

Anyway, it is true that the gift went out for a while and was finally returned by someone, and it was not made up.

Xiao Hong heard them worry about how to return the gift: "They gave it to thank us for saving people. Even if we want to return the gift, some dried loach, dried bamboo shoots, dried fish or eel and shrimp are very suitable."

She used to live in Shantou Village, where there were few bamboos and few dried bamboo shoots.

After coming here, I realized that there were more than ten catties of dried bamboo shoots in the sun.

But, people nowadays think that burning bamboo shoots is a waste of oil, and they are not willing to eat dried bamboo shoots after eating bamboo shoots.

She personally doesn't like dealing with Liu Hui.

But if the silly girl really wants to date Xu Xinning, then she can't do without dealing with her.

Xiao Fang also echoed: "That's right, we can't compare with others, so just give something suitable and do our best."

Although she likes Xu Xinning and knows that his family background is better than her own, she doesn't want to slap her face swollen to look fat just for the sake of face.

Zhao Laosi is now willing to listen to their opinions, and feels that what they say is reasonable, even if he buys some dried longan and lychees, they may not be rare.

It's better to send some homemade ones, which are clean and affordable, and taste very good.

When Xiao Hong heard her sister's words, she didn't turn her elbows away, and she was very happy: "That's right, drying loach, small fish, and bamboo shoots takes a lot of work. We call it polite and affectionate."

Everyone couldn't help laughing.

Wu Julan dug out the big bag of lo-mei, and asked in surprise, "Where did this come from?"

"I bought it!" Xiao Hong went to get the bowls and chopsticks: "In order not to be recognized by others, I bought a hat and scarf before I went to buy it."

This is a white lie, otherwise her mother would tell her to knit scarves and hats if she wanted to tell her about wasting money.

But she knitted the sweater pants that Xiao Hong was wearing. Even if she was her own mother, she couldn't say that the sweater pants were beautiful against her conscience.

Xiao Hong herself learned how to make lo-mei from the Zhao family, but after she left the Zhao family, she deliberately added or subtracted seasonings when she was free.

Therefore, even though Zhao's lo-mei tastes good, they don't think that other people's lo-mei is better than their own.

After Zhao Lao Si had tasted all of them, he was relieved: "I think pigs are not as good as ours. The pork head meat is almost the same, but we can't get the beef."

Wu Julan also nodded: "Let's fix the pigs into the water. It took a lot of flour, vinegar and white wine, and it tastes like nothing."

After speaking, he looked at Xiao Hong again: "There are three pork stalls in the town now. Boss Liu said that they often have a lot of offal pigs. Do you want us to continue selling offal pigs?"

In the past, the three companies sold brine offal, but Boss Liu and the others were so happy. Now the Zhao family doesn’t sell brine offal. Brother Zhao’s brine is not as good as Xiao Hong’s. In order to compete with the Su family for customers, he desperately lowered the price.

Now only the Su family is left to sell stewed pigs, and the pigs from the three meat stalls sometimes cannot be sold.

Xiao Hong's family and Boss Liu's family are getting along well now, and they can be regarded as big customers at the Liu's meat stall. When the weather is hot, they often borrow their big freezers?
So Boss Liu said this, and they also want to continue this business.

"I want to sell fried chicken." Xiao Hong didn't hide it from them: "If the family wants to continue selling pigs into the water, then our family has to hire someone to help."

Wu Julan was reluctant to hire someone: "There are more people in the store in the morning, as we are all free now, we can come here too."

Xiao Hong almost wanted to roll her eyes: "Mom, you are going to give birth in a few months, and you will be in confinement. Who will take care of you then? You don't feel sorry for Uncle? Besides, fried chicken nuggets are troublesome, but you can definitely make money , I want to invite two more people?"

"Then invite one?" Zhao Lao Si was a little embarrassed to hear that, but he didn't doubt that his wife didn't feel sorry for him, but he wanted her to confine herself to confinement. He was afraid that he would not know people clearly, so he hesitated: "It's people. It’s hard to find, and if you don’t know the basics, you’re afraid that if someone learns the craft secretly, they’ll set up another branch.”
