Chapter 139 Fishtail Street Market
The first thing I do when I get home is to see Huahua and the four cubs.

The little ones look different every day, and their eyes are obviously wider than when she left.

Lu Jingqiu hurried to cook some noodles and rice for Huahua, and put a goose egg in it.

For those that are not cooked, beat the egg yolk directly onto the rice.

Seeing her come back, Huahua clinged to her for a while before starting to eat.

Lu Jingqiu went to clean up the sand basins for them.Got new sand from the yard.

In less than a month, it is absolutely impossible to leave the house.

Seeing that it was already ten past six, Lu Jingqiu hurried to the cafeteria with the lunch box.

Today the cafeteria serves fried potatoes, pickled vegetables, and steamed cakes.

Lu Jingqiu ordered a fat cake, a fried potato, and some pickles.

There were a lot fewer soldiers in the cafeteria, and there was no sign of Dad and Jiang Nanzhou, so they should not be in the team.

After dinner, the sky was getting dark, so Lu Jingqiu went upstairs to compose and draft.

At around seven o'clock, my aunt made her a set of sauced pork ribs, and Lu Jingqiu ate it deliciously: "My aunt's cooking skills are really good, and every dish is a must, delicious."

"There was still braised fish yesterday. It's a pity that you didn't come back, and so did your cousin. You can't eat the good things I make every day."

"You keep it to eat with your uncle, don't worry about us."

"How much can we eat? I heard from your second cousin that the refrigerators in Yangcheng are cheap. This time he goes there by car. I'll ask him to ask."

"When will the second cousin come back?"

"Who knows, by the way, I played a game the day before yesterday and took those cottons to play. I'll get you an eight-pound one, a five-pound one, and a three-pound one for summer. I haven't got the bottom of the bed yet, and I don't have enough cotton. I asked someone for help, but I still don't believe it.

Do you want to set up other things? "

"Auntie still has several months left, don't worry, I buy it myself when I'm free sometimes."

"Okay, the wardrobe and furniture must be ordered in advance. Did Nanzhou ask, where is the house allocated to you?"

"You have to get a marriage certificate before you can give points. Nanzhou said he wanted to buy a house in the city so that I can go to school. He is busy recently and has no time to look at the house."

"What are you selling outside? Housing is tight now, and there aren't many good houses. If you want me to say, you live in the compound, it's safe, and we don't worry.

As it is now, Nanzhou does not stay at home all day, and we are not at ease if you are outside alone. "

Lu Jingqiu felt the same way: "Let's discuss it when Nanzhou comes back."

How can we not get rid of the houses allocated by the unit? You can find houses outside slowly.

Thinking of cotton, Lu Jingqiu felt that she could ask Xue Jianian, she has many ways to do this.

So the next morning, I ran to look for her, but in the end, I had no choice but to go to Fishtail Alley to look for her.

After not coming here for a long time, Lu Jingqiu found that this place has become a street market, selling everything.

Clothes, shoes, fabrics, all kinds of food, in fact, those people are the ones who sell things, but now they are all exposed, and no one comes to take care of them every day.

Lu Jingqiu found Xue Jianian at the original place, and her things were no longer hidden in the bamboo baskets, but placed outside, rice noodles, various soybeans, and chickens, ducks and geese.

"Comrade Xue."

"Comrade Lu, are you here to buy something?"

"I came here specifically to find you."

"Looking for me? Is it about the herbal medicine? It hasn't arrived yet."

"No, I just want to ask, do you have any cotton here?"

"Yes, how much do you want?"

"It's more than ten catties."

There is some planting in Xue Jianian's space. It will be winter soon. She knows that there must be a lot of cotton, so she has planted some. At present, there are three to four hundred catties, and next month it will produce three to four hundred catties.

After Lu Jingqiu finished speaking, Xue Jianian stood up and said, "Look at it for me first, and I'll get it for you."

After speaking, he ran away quickly.

As soon as the people left, someone came up to ask the price of the chicken and duck.

Lu Jingqiu was stunned for a long time, remembering the price Xue Jianian sold her last time, and said: "Chicken is one yuan and three catties, duck, chicken is one yuan and five yuan, big goose is two yuan."

The aunt curled her lips and said, "It's too expensive, and you still have hair."

"Auntie, these are all for work, and they are all fat. One of them weighs five catties anyway."

"Can't it be less?"

Lu Jingqiu shook her head, she also reported indiscriminately, what if she lost money to Xue Jianian.

"I want this duck, you can weigh it for me."

Fortunately, she knows how to use scales. In this era, weighing salt and sugar, cakes, and grains all need to be weighed. Almost everyone can use this old-fashioned scale.

Yes, yes, but it is also very clumsy. I weighed it for the aunt, and it was four catties and four taels.

"It's six dollars and six."

When Lu Jingqiu was about to collect the money, Xue Jianian came back and didn't ask any further questions. He didn't speak to Lu Jingqiu until the aunt left, "Thank you."

"I just told you the price, why don't you say it, I'm afraid I'll sell it to you cheaply."

"It's not cheap. It's [-] cents more than mine. The cotton for you is [-] catties in total."

Lu Jingqiu looked at it, she was quite fair and good quality: "How much?"

"One yuan and one catty, a total of 28 yuan. Give me 28."

Lu Jingqiu took out 28 yuan and stuffed it directly to her: "Bamao, you are generous, it is not easy to earn money, I will not take advantage of you."

Xue Jianian smiled and didn't say anything, but before leaving, he secretly stuffed a few oranges into the cotton bag.

Lu Jingqiu found out when she got home, she laughed secretly, the oranges just came out at this time, a few oranges cost more than [-] cents.

When my aunt came back in the evening, Lu Jingqiu gave her the cotton.

Zhou Lanqin looked at the ten kilograms, and complained: "I said I made it, it's the makeup that my aunt put on for you, but you're lucky, you bought so much secretly, you can't use it up."

"The unused ones are used to make padded jackets for my uncle."

Zhou Lanqin blinked and said, "Hey, why is there no one from Nanzhou?"

Lu Jingqiu: "I didn't expect my aunt to tease people."

"Haha, I'm not kidding you. Your uncle and I have two sets of cotton-padded clothes. There is no shortage. I will ask the old tailor to make cotton-padded trousers for Nanzhou. There is no need for cotton-padded jackets. The army has hair and military coats."

"Listen to my aunt."

Lu Jingqiu also told Zhou Lanqin about the chickens and ducks, but Zhou Lanqin refused to let them kill them, because the chickens, ducks and geese were still laying eggs, so it would be a pity to kill them.

When she comes to feed Huahua from time to time, the chickens and ducks are also involved, so it doesn't take much trouble.

Sometimes Xiaoshun and Xiaoyin like to catch some bugs, mice or something to feed Huahua, chickens and ducks. Aunt Liu brought them wheat bran back a few days ago to feed the chickens and ducks.

"I see that there are quite a lot of chicken and duck eggs. I bought two jars of pickled eggs and duck eggs in the past two days, and I will send some to your Aunt Liu."

"Well, listen to my aunt."

"On Tuesday, the daughter-in-law of Company Commander Zhang in the second battalion in the courtyard heard that Hua Hua had given birth to a cub. She came to see her once. She wanted to raise one. Let me ask you."

"Auntie, even the eldest daughter-in-law likes cats."

"It should be. She is the primary school teacher in our team. She teaches the second grade. She usually has more free time. She raised it in her hometown before. At that time, she ran all over the village and didn't care about it. Now seeing the cat litter you made, I think it can be raised at home."

"Auntie, you tell her that except for the fourth Hua girl who will not be given to anyone, the other three can be chosen, but they are still too young, and I will raise them for her for more than a month."

"Okay." Zhou Lanqin knew that the fourth Hua girl was round and beautiful.
