In terms of meat, you have to buy pork, chicken, and even fish. There are also many other groceries, including vegetables and melons. This winter, I have not planted green vegetables in my vegetable garden, and if I planted them, they will not survive. I have to wait until the spring of the next year before sowing a new crop of green vegetables.

    At that time, she also marinated a jar of Chinese cabbage with Zhao Ye. She had some on weekdays, but she still thought it would be better to eat some fresh green cabbage after the Chinese New Year.

    "Okay Wanxiu, we've written down everything you said, so we'll go first." Sister-in-law Gu has helped to buy food for several months, and she and Xu Wanxiu are familiar with each other. After writing down all the things to buy, he said with a smile.

    Mrs. Yang was newly recruited by Zhao Ye before returning to the village. She stood silently beside Mrs. Gu and smiled, nodding her head to show that she remembered it too.

    "That's okay, Sister Gu, Sister Yang, you two, be careful on the way, it's hard work." Xu Wanxiu thanked them with a smile, and then closed the door again after seeing them off.

    The cold wind outside was beating against the doors and windows, and the entire corridor was leaking air. She wore a thick cotton coat and stood with the door open for a while, and she couldn't hold it any longer.

    The same Xujiatun side is also very lively. This person works in the fields all year round, so he can stay at home this winter. The New Year is the most festive time of the year, and the village that has been silent for a long time is lively again.



    She stopped her son, who had already walked out of the door, as soon as she believed, "Wan Song, wait, my mother will give you half a catty of meat tickets. You can buy a catty of pork and come back directly." I rushed back to my room to get money and tickets.

    "Here half a catty of meat tickets and what you have in your hand are exactly one catty. This is money, you can take it all." Mother Xu came out of the room, handed him all the money tickets she had just counted, and explained it in detail. He said, "A pound of meat tickets buys a pound of meat, and if you can buy a pound of pork bones with a ticket, you can buy it back by the way."

    After Xu Wanxiu took the money and the ticket to her, Xu's mother never stopped. moved. She is a thrifty and thrifty person. She has everything at home and lacks everything. She can barely survive. But today, thinking of the New Year's Day, which is so worth celebrating, Mother Xu reluctantly let go and buy it, thinking about what her daughter said.

    After I bought this meat, my son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren can eat it. It should be better at the end of the year. Mother Xu thought so, so she let go a little, and asked her son to buy back the pig bones that he didn't want.

    "Mother, do we really need to buy so much meat? Otherwise, don't buy the pork bones." Xu Wansong was so surprised that his eyes were about to fall out after hearing his mother's words, he persuaded. Their family is still headed by their mother. What they eat and buy every day, and even how to distribute food at the end of the year, are all controlled by Xu's mother.

    Although Xu Wansong doesn't care about anything, he knows that his family's money can't afford such a hustle and bustle.

    This was so right that Mother Xu tapped a chestnut on his head, "What are you talking about? Your mother has plans, she's not too old. Just buy it as I said, at the end of this year. Now, it's time to give your daughter-in-law and son something to eat."

    After Xu Wansong got married, he was taught by his mother after a long absence, but he still believed in his mother, and replied repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I'll buy one now. The jins of pork and the jins of pork bones come back, and if you go late, maybe they will be gone." He woke up early today, didn't he just rush to the county town to buy pork early? I'm afraid that if it's too late, there won't be any scum left.
