The next morning, Qiao Nianyao took care of Song Qingfeng's personal hygiene issues and had breakfast with him.
I boiled sweet potatoes and steamed egg custard.
Qiao Nianyao thought that she would take some time to pickle some salted eggs and keep them. It would be convenient if she wanted to eat them.
"The county town is quite far away. Once you come back, you probably won't be able to come back until the afternoon. During this time, Rhubarb will stay with you. He is a good dog that guards the home and the courtyard." Qiao Nianyao said, looking to see if she needed anything else. .
There were two hanging bottles for him to relieve himself, as well as milk candies to soothe his mouth, books to pass the time, and water.
Of course, there are a few sweet potatoes and two hard-boiled eggs. I cooked them with the sweet potatoes in the morning. They will definitely be cold, but you can eat them if you are hungry.
But Qiao Nianyao went to the cupboard to get apples for him. She bought them together with the canned fruit last time. She didn't have time to eat them. She washed two apples and left them. She also grabbed a handful of red dates and washed them together for him as a snack.
After doing all this, Qiao Nianyao was satisfied, "I'm going out. Wait for me at home and I'll bring you meat back to eat."
Song Qingfeng watched his wife go out carrying a basket.
The tenderness in his eyes couldn't stop.
Uncle Hu's mule cart was already waiting at the entrance of the village.
Zhou Dong saw her and said, "My cousin is here."
When Qiao Nianyao came over, she saw that everyone who was going to the city was already there, obviously waiting for her, "Sorry, I'm late."
"It's not too late, it's just the right time." Aunt Song asked her to get in the car.
Qiao Nianyao got on the mule cart, and Uncle Hu asked everyone to sit tight before driving the mule cart off.
Sister-in-law Wu, who was sitting next to her and had a good relationship with her, asked: "Qingfeng is home alone, is that okay?"
"It's okay, we only have one morning." Qiao Nianyao said.
As he spoke, he looked at the other people in the car.
Zhou Dashan and Zhou Liang and his son went to collect firewood, while Zhou Dong accompanied Aunt Song, the grandmother, into the city to deliver food to Aunt Song.
Also in the car were Zhao Yulan, Zhao Zhiqing, Chen Xuemei and Chen Zhiqing, whom Qiao Nianyao was familiar with.
As well as Aunt Li from the village and her daughter Li Susu.
Counting Uncle Hu, there are nine people in total.
And besides people, there is also food.
Aunt Song brought one hundred and fifty kilograms of grain into the city, fifty kilograms of finely ground cornmeal, and fifty kilograms of rice exchanged with the villagers. The others were peanuts, sesame, mung beans, red beans, etc., which added up to five kilograms. Ten pounds.
There is also a large bag of mushrooms, containing dry goods such as mushrooms and fungus.
This is to be sent to Aunt Song.
Every year after the grain distribution, Aunt Song would buy more with the team, and then go to the city to deliver it to Aunt Song.
One to five hundred kilograms of grain is not a lot, and even a large population will not be able to eat it for a long time, but there is no way to buy more and take more with you. If there is more, it will be suspected of speculation.
Of course, Aunt Song always gives money, no matter what.
There are benefits too, no food stamps required.
All food in the city is rationed. The amount of rations for adults and the amount of rations for children are all determined.
Can a large family not be short of food?
When it came time to distribute food at the end of the month, we all had to tighten our belts to get through it.
But Miss Song has her mother's family to help her, which can be a lot of relief!
Zhou Dong touched the big mule and praised: "This big mule is so resistant. There are so many people and food on the car, but this big mule is as if nothing happened."
Qiao Nianyao also felt that the last time she took a mule cart, she heard that this big mule can carry three thousand kilograms of goods!
The total weight of these people and goods is less than 2,000 kilograms, so they really don’t have to worry.
After Qiao Nianyao greeted the familiar Zhao Zhiqing, Aunt Li in the village wanted to ask her about Ergu Song's visit yesterday.
"What did his second aunt say when he came over yesterday? To make you so angry that you beat him back with a stick?" she asked.
Sister-in-law Wu curled her lips, "This is a question. It has spread throughout the village. Doesn't she deserve it?"
Aunt Li looked at Qiao Nianyao, wanting her to say a few words.
But Qiao Nianyao didn't say much.
Aunt Song said: "Don't talk about that old guy, I'm curious, what did you do this year? The amount of money shared by the family this year is almost the top three in the Red Flag Brigade, which is really incredible."
She looked envious.
Aunt Li's attention was immediately diverted, and she was extremely happy, "Our family plans to strive for an advanced family, so of course we have to work hard!"
"Really? That's really incredible, but don't say it. I won't accept other people's comments about advanced families, but I have nothing to say about your family!" Aunt Song said.
Aunt Li was also happy and started boasting, "If you really have that opportunity, you have to vote for my family."
"If there is such a chance, I will vote for you without your asking. Speaking of which, Su Su is not young at this time. Have you kissed her?" Aunt Song changed the topic to her daughter.
"Isn't that what I'm talking about?" Aunt Li became even more happy when she talked about this, and stopped talking, but she looked like you were about to ask.
Aunt Song helped her, "Huh? Tell me, which family is so lucky?"
"That's Meng Zhiqing." Aunt Li smiled broadly.
My daughter is not marrying a villager, but marrying Meng Zixun and Meng Zhiqing from the Educated Youth Academy!
When the words Meng Zhiqing came out, Sister-in-law Wu was a little surprised, "Really? Then when Meng Zhiqing returns to the city, won't Su Su want to follow him to enjoy the blessings?"
Everyone in the car immediately looked at Li Susu.
Li Susu looked proud and said, "Sister-in-law, please stop talking. It's still early to return to the city."
She also glanced at Qiao Nianyao.
She just turned twenty this year and turned eighteen two years ago. Her family actually wanted to tell her to Song Qingfeng.
But Song Qingfeng married Qiao Nianyao in a blink of an eye, and she held her breath at that time.
I have been looking for someone in the past two years, and I will definitely marry someone better than Song Qingfeng!
As expected, she was chosen!
And it was also thanks to Song Qingfeng's kindness in not marrying back then, otherwise he would be the one crying now!
Qiao Nianyao naturally noticed the sarcasm in her eyes.
But I don't think so.
That Meng Zhiqing is not a good person.
She had met Zhao Zhiqing when she went to see him, and she wanted to talk to her. He sounded like Miss Qiao and had a playful smile. This kind of man was definitely not a good match.
But if she dares to say something bad about Meng Zhiqing now, Li Susu and Aunt Li can come up and tear her apart.
Believe it or not, she still has to ridicule her own man for being lame and disabled, but he can't see the good of others?
Therefore, respect the fate of others.
Shut up when it's time to shut up.
Although Aunt Song and Sister-in-law Wu praised her, she didn't think so in her heart.
That Meng Zhiqing said that it sounds like he is talented, but in fact he is the kind who can't do any heavy work and can hardly support himself.
But after this happened, of course we stopped talking about Second Aunt Song.
Although Second Aunt Song is not a thing, the family scandal should not be made public.
Neither Aunt Song nor Qiao Nianyao was interested in talking about their family affairs.
Isn’t there a saying that says: I don’t want to miss your life, and you don’t want to know about my life.
