Rebirth Era's Petite Wife

Chapter 16 016
When Shen Jiaxing saw these two people, he didn't avoid them, but went up to them.

"Are you back from grocery shopping?"

These two are the neighbors of the Shen family, that is, the Xu family couple who will be sent to the coal mine tomorrow. The son of the Xu family is named Xu Guifu, who is about the same age as Shen Jiaxing's eldest son.

The Xu family is from northern Jiangsu. They made their fortunes by being tailors. They lived in Zhabei District in the early days. After getting rich, in order to escape from Zhabei District, they gritted their teeth and bought a bungalow in this alley. , this debt will be left alone.

But their standard of living has never been improved, and their lives have been cut and shrunk. According to their family background, they could not be classified as reformers. farmers, but who let them have a bungalow and two storefronts.

Definitely needs a renovation!

It's ironic to say that at the beginning, the Xu family's old father tried his best to escape from Zhabei District for his children and grandchildren to be masters, but now the Xu family couple must wish that the Xu family would live in Zhabei District all the time!
The Xu family couple was taken aback by Shen Jiaxing's voice, and when they came back to their senses and saw that it was their neighbor who was sweeping the street with them, they immediately calmed down.

"Hello, Second Uncle Shen, take Jiaojiao to buy vegetables?" The couple obviously didn't want to answer Shen Jiaxing's question, so they avoided talking about it.

"Yeah, there's no rice or oil at home, go buy some." Shen Jiaxing replied, he didn't care at all what the couple did.

In these years, see less, listen less, talk less and do more, so that we can live in peace.

Shen Jiao looked curiously at the woman's basket opposite, and a vigorous rooster's head emerged from the cloth, with a big red crown, a yellow beak, and gorgeous feathers.

"Grandpa, let's buy a rooster too, I want to be a chicken feather key." Shen Jiao acted like a baby, she hadn't kicked a key for a long time.

Xu's couple's complexion changed drastically. Xu's daughter-in-law pulled up the cloth on the basket, trying to cover the rooster, but the rooster was so energetic that it slipped out even after covering it. The couple rushed to Shen Jiaxing in embarrassment. smiled.

Shen Jiaxing frowned slightly, the Xu family has always lived a frugal life, and during the New Years and holidays, they only have a piece of tofu, why would they think about buying chicken today?
Besides, it's not a festival now, and there is no vegetable market that sells chickens in the whole sea market, unless you go to the black market to buy, but the chicken there is several dollars more expensive than the vegetable market, is the Xu family willing?

Note: In the [-]s and [-]s, chickens, ducks, and geese were not available every day. They were only available once during major festivals (Spring Festival, National Day), and they were supplied according to the number of people in the family. At that time, you had to go there at two or three o'clock in the middle of the night. The vegetable market lined up, and it took at least six or seven hours to wait for the turn, and it was freezing and stiff.

Seeing the guilty looks of the two couples, Shen Jiaxing thought of a possibility.

"You don't want to take this chicken for blood, do you?"

The expressions of the Xu family and his wife changed again, they looked around and saw no one was relieved, Xu Guifu said in a low voice: "Second Uncle Shen, don't say anything, if people find out, we will have to make trouble again."

Shen Jiaxing heaved a sigh of relief: "Don't everyone beat them?"

Xu Guifu smiled wryly: "One thing more is worse than one thing less!"

Shen Jiaxing sighed, and asked: "Why are you thinking of getting chicken blood for no reason? Are you afraid of accidents? Didn't the government issue a document to cancel this treatment two months ago?"

The daughter-in-law of Xu's family interjected: "My old Xu used this chicken blood before, and the effect is really good. I think I will go to the coal mine tomorrow to give Lao Xu a chicken blood. He is the pillar of our family. If he falls , what can our family do!"

As she spoke, she sobbed, lowered her head and took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears.

Xu Guifu was a little embarrassed, and said to Shen Jiaxing: "I'm leaving tomorrow, and I will ask Second Uncle Shen to take care of me from now on. I will always remember your kindness for the rest of my life."

Shen Jiaxing sighed: "If I can stay in Haishi, it would be fine to take care of me with the friendship of our two families, but I won't be able to stay in Haishi for a few more days!"

Xu Guifu asked in surprise, "Where is Second Uncle Shen going?"

Shen Jiaxing said with a smile: "It's probably the frontier farm, that's what happened in the past few days, why don't you hurry up and buy something to prepare!"

The Xu family couple looked at Shen Jiaxing's grandfather and grandson sympathetically. At such an old age, they dragged a young one and ran to the farm. It's still the frontier where chickens don't shit and birds don't lay eggs. I heard that they don't even have to drink water. The place.

Oh, the second uncle of the Shen family is too pitiful!

Thinking about it this way, the worries of the Xu family and his wife have eased up these few days. Compared with the Shen family, they are already much better. At least they only go to the coal mines. As long as they are willing to work, they will not die of hunger. Belonging to the south, I heard that it used to be a land of fish and rice!
People are always like this, if you meet another person who is more miserable than you when you are miserable, the despair and discouragement will be relieved a lot, and you will be full of confidence in life again.

Saying goodbye to the Xu family couple, Shen Jiaxing continued to hold Shen Jiao's hand and walked to the vegetable market. Shen Jiao asked curiously, "Grandpa, what is chicken blood?"

Just now she heard it in a cloud, but if she didn't ask clearly, she really felt uncomfortable.

Shen Jiaxing explained: "It is to draw out the blood of Xiao Gongnan and inject it into the human body. This method is not advisable. Jiaojiao should not try it in the future."

He never believed in the 'chicken blood therapy', as expected, after only one year of popularity, the government issued a document to ban this therapy, but there are still many people who believe in this therapy and secretly go to the health center for treatment.

Isn't that the case with Xu Guifu and his wife!

Shen Jiao's eyes widened, she couldn't believe it and said: "How can chicken blood hit people? It's not my race, how can blood be mixed together?"

Shen Jiaxing smiled and said appreciatively: "Jiaojiao is right, isn't that the reason? My Jiaojiao understands life much better than those people."

"Come on, let's go buy meat."

"Grandpa, I want to eat chicken. Let's buy a rooster and make chicken feathers." Shen Jiao never forgot about chicken feathers.

Shen Jiaxing explained: "Now is not the time to supply chickens. We can't buy chickens. Why don't Jiaojiao wait a little longer and Grandpa Fifteen get up early and go to Taiping Bridge to buy a little rooster?"

Taipingqiao is a black market supply point in Haishi. It is only sold on the first and fifteenth day of every month. Today is only the sixth day, and we have to wait half a month!

Shen Jiao was surprised: "Why do you have to wait half a month to buy chicken? Can't you buy it in the vegetable market?"

"Chickens are not sold every day in the vegetable market, only twice a year, and meat is not available every day. One person only has a catty and a half of meat per month. We have a lot of meat. In some places, it is only a catty. There is oil, and one person only has half a catty of oil per month..."

Shen Jiaxing babbled to explain the current situation to his granddaughter. Although he really wanted his granddaughter to become Miss Jiao who didn't care about anything, but the environment was like this, Jiaojiao had to understand the hardships of life today!

Shen Jiao was even more confused when she heard it: "Why is there only so much? Grandpa, aren't you rich?"

It took Shen Jiaxing a lot of talk to let Shen Jiao understand that the current things, even if they are stitches and threads, must be purchased by ticket, and they are very stuck, so they can't buy more.

Shen Jiao sighed, it seems that this dynasty is even poorer than her previous life!
Fortunately, she has a treasure bowl, so she is not afraid!
　Chicken blood was very popular in the early days of the turmoil, but the government banned this therapy after something happened, so people often say that it is not nonsense.

　　In addition, because of the background of this book, there are many sensitive words that cannot be written, so I will use other words instead, hope you understand!
