Chapter 476
Early in the morning, He Xiuyu went to Xichuan to pick up the Wu family’s old man and his mother-in-law.
The old man had something to do in Xichuan, so he hadn't been to the base yet. Finally, he finished his work and was about to stay at Qiao Qingyu's place for a while.
Qiao Qingyu just cleaned up at home. There was heating in the room and there was no need to burn the fire, but she still used fireworks to turn on the small kang, changed into clean sheets, quilt covers and pillowcases, and placed a pot of health grass on the bedroom windowsill.
In the past, He Xiuyu lived in this room, but later He Xiuyu lived in the west room and the room became empty.
There is a floor in the house, which I wipe every day, and it is spotless at this time. Qiao Qingyu specially made two pairs of slippers for grandpa and mother.
Made of velvet cloth, the cotton stuffed inside is soft and warm to wear.
As for my mother, she lived with me, and the bed sheets and quilt covers were all replaced, so there was no need to clean up. Qiao Qingyu ran to the store again.
Tenghai Research Base has its own breeding farm.
So although meat cannot be supplied openly, you can eat meat every month.
Now there is pork and mutton on the chopping board. Qiao Qingyu weighed all four pig trotters with the meat tickets, and bought lamb chops. The meat seller named Wu Dasao. When he saw Qiao Qingyu, he took out the heart-protecting meat left and said, "This is heart-protecting meat. Take it back and cook it and stir-fry it with peppers. I heard that it is beneficial for the elderly to eat more of this thing."
Although they have to be served according to the side dishes, Qiao Qingyu can still get the convenience in private.
She smiled, "Thank you, Mrs. Wu."
Also, Mrs. Wu is so attentive, so there must be something wrong, but Mrs. Wu is really taking good care of herself on weekdays.
Qiao Qingyu still asked, "Sister Wu, is there something wrong?"
Mrs. Wu was not embarrassed at all, looked around, lowered her voice and said, "Qingyu, Mrs. Wu really has something to do, please..."
"Sister-in-law, don't ask for anything or not. Just tell me if you have something to do."
Qiao Qingyu also knew that this was definitely not a matter at the company, because everyone knew that He Xiuyu's affairs had never interfered with it, and the couple had a clear distinction in this regard.
"Do you still have white flour? I want to spend money to buy some."
Nowadays, most areas still have planned economy and use grain books and various bills. According to the current situation, it will take three years to abolish the grain books and say goodbye to commercial grain.
So white flour is not that easy to make now.
Even if the white flour obtained by the base every month, the family of five looks like ten kilograms.
It is impossible to eat openly, but Qiao Qingyu has not yet bought and sold privately.
She didn't want to start this, but she asked, "Sister Wu, how much do you want?"
"Just sell me ten kilograms." When Mrs. Wu said this, she paused for a moment and said a little embarrassedly, "I don't hide it from you. Relatives from my hometown have come to them. I have steamed buns for them this month. Don't you leave? Sanwa secretly told his grandmother that she wanted to eat the buns again..."
Mrs. Wu was embarrassed to say the following words, and Qiao Qingyu couldn't ask anymore. This was not a difficult task. She lowered her voice, "Sister Wu, don't say whether it's sold or not, go to my house when you get off work."
"That won't work. How can I ask for your stuff for nothing? I have to pay for it."
"Sister-in-law, listen to me. I do have white flour, but not much. At our base, I can't do white flour transactions at present. My child wants to eat steamed buns. There is nothing to be embarrassed about. From your perspective, I am also the elder of your three children. That's it..."
Mrs. Wu is not a pretentious person, so she didn't say anything else, but she wrote down this favor.
She neatly issued a ticket for Qiao Qingyu. Of course, it was all clear that this should be as much as possible. Qiao Qingyu paid the money and carried the meat home.
After getting home, I first put more than ten kilograms of white flour in a small noodle bag at the door, and then I started to work hard.
There are radishes at home. Grandpa and mother are not suitable for eating too greasy foods, so the lamb chops are prepared to be stewed with radishes in a casserole.
Then I packed up the pig's trotters. I encountered this thing today, but I didn't have it anyway. Qiao Qingyu decided to stew it like before.
I boiled bone soup in a small pot again.
Qiao Qingyu was also neat. When He Xiuyu took Wu Xiukai and Wu Qianyun home, the food and food were almost ready, and He Xuerong happened to come back with them.
Although I know that my daughter is living a good life, I can’t help but worry. However, looking at her daughter’s complexion, Wu Qianyun still feels very appropriate.
When there was only two mothers and mothers in the evening, she asked Qiao Qingyu, "Now you don't go to school anymore and the unit is not busy. Should you have a child?"
Qiao Qingyu didn't hide it from her, and said openly, "I have this plan now, but let it go."
Wu Qianyun didn't say much, but she just talked about the matter in her hometown. She frowned, "Your second uncle and your second uncle are having a bad fight now. If the phone calls you, don't get involved."
"Aren't they going to divorce? Is it a divorce?" Qiao Qingyu asked curiously.
"Nothing is so easy to divorce? Wang Mei has lived a hard life with Qiao Zhihai all her life. Now her life is getting better and better. She is not a fool. How could she agree to the divorce?"
If you don’t agree to divorce, you should live a good life. Others who come out from the left and right every day will not stop. Then Qiao Qingyu said to her mother, “You should avoid getting involved in the affairs of her hometown. To be honest, they are all old and not young. Can you feel unsure of what you do? Sometimes, it’s not the intention of the drunkard to drink, so don’t be fooled by them.”
Of course, Wu Qianyun knew that her daughter was reminding her that there were both good and bad things in her hometown, but wasn’t they all like this? How could she be so perfect, but she came with her own wishes.
There are always some shortcomings.
Wu Qianyun sighed and said helplessly, "Not as easy as you said. If you don't say it breaks the bones and tendons, it's almost the same. If you don't look at anything else, you can't ignore your father's face."
"That's why my grandpa brought you out."
"I understand your grandfather's thoughts, and they are all for my own good. But he has been abroad for a long time and is very indifferent to human relationships. He only recognizes his own blood relatives and his own recognition."
Qiao Qingyu knew this was indeed the truth. It was said that it was difficult for honest officials to make decisions on family affairs, and family affairs were really impossible to define.
So Qiao Qingyu did not refute, and her expression also agreed.
Wu Qianyun breathed a sigh of relief.
Although it's a bit selfish, it really has to be said of this.
