Prices are so low in this day and age that even if Muning really wants to go out every day to have his teeth cut out, he doesn't actually have much money to spend.
The first reason is that in 1993, both food and steamed buns were quite cheap. The second reason is that people nowadays are simple and do not cut corners.
Just like a steamed bun, in later generations, Muning would have to eat at least three and drink a cup of soy milk to be full, but now he can eat only two to fill his throat.
It tastes good, the price is cheap and the quantity is large. She really wants to eat out every day.
Of course, that was impossible. He looked at the roast duck dripping with oil and touched the corners of his mouth.
"I never thought that one day I would salivate over a roast duck."
Muning lowered his head and went to the vegetable market. He still had to cook. He had a baby in his belly, so he couldn't spend too much money on the small yellow croakers.
When she went there, the vegetable market was quite clean, with a few people watching.
I bought a pound of meat for three yuan, a piece of dried tofu and a piece of tofu for two yuan, and selected some green beans, potatoes, onions, ginger, garlic, peppers, etc. for almost ten yuan.
This is the time when money is called money, it is so valuable.
Muning liked to travel and see everywhere in later generations. In 1993, she would of course look around.
There is a primary school near the vegetable market. It is not particularly big, but it looks quite new and should have been renovated.
When she walked out of the vegetable market, there was a pastry shop at the door. Adhering to the principle of not missing the opportunity, she bought two small cakes, which were as big as a palm and cost only one yuan each.
The colors must be the characteristics of this era. Muning didn't hold back. He put down the dishes in his hands and opened a small cake to eat.
"Well, it's too sweet, but it tastes pretty good." The cake base is still very soft. Although it is not the animal cream of later generations, it only costs fifty cents, so what else do I want for a bicycle?
After eating the cake, she wiped her mouth delicately. Her home was on Lower Street, and the vegetable market was on Upper Street. It was quite far away, but she was not in a hurry. She looked all the way. When she saw something she liked, she bought it and kept it for later. You have to try it in your mouth.
After walking to the pedestrian street, it will be a little busier.
There is a building opposite the bank.
She looked at the building and drooled. If she had money, she would really like to buy the whole building and become a landlord in the future. How awesome would that be.
"Hey, if you are poor and useless, you can dream faster."
Mu Ning, who was heartbroken, went to the canteen to buy candies to eat. After walking around like this, she reached the Great Willow Tree Courtyard.
There is a big willow tree at the entrance of Daliushuyuan, hence its name.
Mother-in-laws and wives who have nothing to do all day like to hang around here and chew their mouths, and today is no exception. After Mu Ning passed by with large and small bags, these women could no longer hold back their mouths.
"Look, the man was injured and hospitalized, but she didn't even bother to take a look. Instead, she bought things by herself. Tsk, tsk, tsk, she doesn't look like a peaceful woman."
Yang Osmanthus bared her big yellow teeth as if Muning had spent her money, which made her face distorted in discomfort.
"She's all dressed up in fancy clothes. I don't know if she's out to seduce a wild man."
He Hua was born and raised in the county and lived nearby, so she also knew Gu Lin.
Gu Lin doesn't please older people, but the little girl is so fascinated that she doesn't want him anymore.
Eighteen-year-old Gu Lin is followed by many younger brothers. Sometimes he will ride a motorcycle and pass by little girls. Basically, no little girl can't help but take pictures.
He Hua is also one of them. She has a crush on Gu Lin. She also knows that this man cannot be married, so she can only like him secretly.
Of course she didn't expect that Gu Lin would marry the original person so suddenly, so she naturally became jealous of the original person, and now she hates Muning.
"Oh, you can't say that."
"There's nothing I can't say. What kind of mother-in-law man doesn't take care of others when he's in the hospital? Instead, he goes out to eat in a restaurant and buys a bunch of messy things."
"Didn't she say she had no money yesterday? She bought so many things today. I think she went out to seduce men and asked them to buy them."
"Oh, don't say that, Gu Lin will beat people if he knows that."
"Bah! Sooner or later he will be beaten to death!"
A casual remark made by a gossipy woman will spread into a rumor in a short time, and soon every household in the neighborhood will know about it.
Some people don't like to hear it and even curse a few words when they hear it. Some people just hear it and remember it in their hearts.
Aunt Zhou heard the news while making dinner. After hearing this, she directly cursed Mrs. Liu who brought the news.
"Some bad-mouthed little whores. They spend all day instead of doing business and spewing feces. That girl Muning is very decent. She got up at five o'clock this morning to clean up the house."
"You people are talking nonsense, be careful of retribution!"
The crackling curse made some people's faces turn red with anger, but they did not dare to refute.
Aunt Zhou is very aggressive. If you get angry, she will come to your door and scold you for not taking a day off.
Muning knew nothing about this. She spent a long time tinkering in the kitchen and completely conquered the earthen stove and briquettes.
When people spread rumors about her, she was happily making dinner.
Use honeycomb briquettes to steam rice.
For dinner, she made herself stir-fried pork with dried tofu, stir-fried green beans, steamed rice, and rice soup, which was equivalent to two dishes and one soup.
"Hey, even in 1993, I, Muning, am still as capable."
She is an optimist and likes to boast about herself when nothing happens. Maybe this spirit comes from her very happy childhood.
Her parents are loving and the family is harmonious. Although she has an older brother, there is no preference for sons over daughters. Her brother has some, and she has some.
She is a person who had a happy childhood. When she grows up, she can figure out everything. When faced with a desperate situation, she may sing a song and go away happily.
Muning was enjoying her meal when someone knocked on the door again. She turned on the light in the yard and asked loudly.
"Who?"
"Girl Ning, it's me, Aunt Zhou."
Aunt Zhou was wearing a thin coat and holding a cattail leaf fan to swat mosquitoes. When she saw Muning, she couldn't help but said loudly.
"Some people with bad mouths opened their mouths outside today and spat out feces and said bad things about you. If you encounter them in the future, go to the toilet behind my house and pour a ladle of feces and urine directly on them. Do you know that? You don't understand." "
Aunt Zhou's voice was as loud as a radio, and some neighbors' big yellow dogs were so frightened that they barked "woof, woof, woof".
Muning didn't react at first, but when she saw Aunt Zhou's face turning red with anger, she realized.
"Aunt Zhou, don't worry. If I hear anyone dare to say bad things about me, I will pour feces on the door of his house and make his courtyard stink for three days and three nights."
As soon as these words came out, Aunt Zhou nodded with satisfaction, "Well, that's it. You can be gentler with men and more aggressive with others, so that no one will bully you."
Aunt Zhou gave a few instructions, "Your man is not in the house, please lock the doors and windows, you know."
"good."
Aunt Zhou's concern was very helpful to Muning. These days, distant relatives are really not as good as close neighbors.
I thought some people would stop thinking after Aunt Zhou said something. Who knows how many men a woman who lives alone and spreads rumors will attract the attention of.
At two o'clock in the morning, Muning was sleeping soundly. Suddenly, her hair stood on end and she was awakened.
The woman's sixth sense and the reporter's intuition told people that someone was prying at her door in the middle of the night.
