Thus, Kang Xiaoqiao said warily, "Hey, what do you want to do? My man is nearby. My man is from the ministry. If you have any wicked thoughts, quickly put it away, or else..."
Before Kang Xiaoqiao finished speaking, the sister-in-law's face turned pale from fright. Then, she waved her hand excitedly and said with difficulty, "That, that big sister, don't, don't misunderstand. I, I don't mean anything else..."
"Yes, it's this meat..."
Kang Xiaoqiao frowned when she heard that. This person wanted to rob her meat?
So, she hid the meat behind her and said, "Quickly let go of me, or else, I will call someone..."
The sister-in-law was anxious when she heard that, and she was about to cry. She said with a sobbing tone, "Big sister, I, I really don't mean anything else. I, I just want to ask you, can I exchange with you and change the meat?"
"Big sister, look, I, I, this is all top-quality streaky pork. However, my family is poor and my child is sick. I came over to buy some meat and use some oil to give them some meat. When I saw that you don't like the fat in your hands, I thought..."
"Big sister, I don't treat you unfairly. I have three pounds and two ounces of meat here. Exchange for your three pounds of meat. I, I won't take advantage of you. Look, look..."
When Kang Xiaoqiao heard this, she didn't spit out a mouthful of blood. She almost suffered internal injuries from holding it in. She said with a look of despair, "Big sister, you, if you want to exchange for meat, just say it. You, what are you doing? You make me nervous. I thought I met a bad person."
After saying that, she patted her own chest. This was really...
Kang Xiaoqiao did not understand. Wasn't it just exchanging meat? Did you have to be so, so mysterious? She was so scared that she thought she had met...
However, Kang Xiaoqiao did not know that people nowadays were very different. Although the weight was about the same, it was common for people to be poor now. No one wanted lean meat, and they all liked fat meat. This way, they could go back and make meat oil, and they could also cook vegetables, so... The value of the meat in her hands was higher than that of her sister-in-law's three pounds and two ounces of meat.
That person was also afraid that others would criticize her for taking advantage of her. Of course, she also took a very big risk to exchange meat with Kang Xiaoqiao. What year was it now? Although the policy had started to loosen, the influence from before in the village was still there. If it wasn't for the fact that this sister-in-law's family really had no other way, she wouldn't have dared to take such a speculative risk. Otherwise, why would she drag Kang Xiaoqiao over to discuss it in a low voice? In fact... She was thick-skinned enough to tell Kang Xiaoqiao that she wouldn't take advantage of her.
However, Kang Xiaoqiao didn't take it seriously at all. In her opinion, it would be the best if she could exchange it for the streaky pork she wanted. She didn't need to rely on meat oil, she just wanted to eat meat.
As a modern person, Kang Xiaoqiao did not think that such a transaction was a big deal. However, the current society was not like this. Because of this, Kang Xiaoqiao caused a lot of trouble in the future.
After bidding farewell to this sister-in-law who looked like she was going to cook, Kang Xiaoqiao went to buy some seasoning and some vegetables. She came in a hurry and did not bring any baskets or plastic bags. Fortunately, that sister-in-law knew that she was in the wrong. She gave Kang Xiaoqiao two plastic bags for free, and it was a very old bag that could be used to store noodles. Fortunately, it was still clean and Kang Xiaoqiao did not mind. At this moment, she bought things with her own equipment.
It was spring now, so there were no seasonal vegetables. Moreover, this was a rural area. Every family had a vegetable garden. However, it was already good enough to find some potatoes.
She only bought some dry goods, such as fungus and some eggs. However, no one bought them, and the quantity was small. Of course, these were not fixed. However, it was different when she arrived at the grain store.
Everyone had a monthly supply of grain. They had a small notebook in their hands. It was impossible to give them extra. When Kang Xiaoqiao was in high school, the supply of grain was 31 catties. However, when she married someone, the monthly supply of grain was 27 catties. The reason why Kang Xiaoqiao was able to enter high school was because of the state's policy. It was because of the extra catties of grain.
Now, out of the 27 catties of grain, there was 1 catty of rice, 2 catties of white flour, and 2 catties of millet. The rest was corn flour, corn stubble, sorghum rice, and other things. There was also eight taels of soybean oil.
Lu Yichen had more than her. However, they were all directly distributed by the unit. Everything in the house was swept clean by the original owner's mother. There was nothing left.
It was not enough to have a food receipt and a food notebook. They had to spend money. These grains and oil together cost 5.50 yuan. In addition to the pork, it was 1.21 catties. Three catties was 3.60 yuan. This was 9.10 yuan. In addition to the vegetables and dried goods, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, seasoning bowls, and chopsticks that they bought... In total, it was more than 10 yuan.
However, the bowls and plates were really cheap. They were not limited to a few cents each and could be bought with money.
Although the workmanship was a lot rougher, it was also convenient to use. After Kang Xiaoqiao finished buying these 13 times, she was completely dumbfounded.
The things were cheap, a few cents and a few cents. However, she couldn't bear to buy so many things. When she turned around, the money was gone. What was worse was, looking at this pile of things, how could she take them home?
At this moment, Kang Xiaoqiao wanted to cry but no tears came out. She, she had forgotten that there was no car at this moment. She had come here on foot.
With her small body, how could she carry these things that weighed dozens of kilograms and carry such a long distance? Just as she was frowning, she suddenly noticed a car in front of her. Then, Kang Xiaoqiao felt that this car looked so familiar. At a glance, she saw the license plate number...
Damn it, it was really easy to find these things. Kang Xiaoqiao took a lot of effort to carry the pile of things and walked toward the car with great difficulty. When she was in front of it, she put the things down.
She knocked on the window of the passenger seat and looked angry.
At this moment, Xia Zijun was lazily leaning on the passenger seat and playing with the lighter in his hand. Suddenly, he was shocked by a knock on the window. Then, he saw a pair of big eyes through the window. She had big, clear black and white eyes, long eyelashes, and blinked like a small fan. She was a very spiritual girl.
Of course, this girl would look even better in white. However, looking at her angry look, he could not help but frown. When had he ever provoked such a person? Could it be that she was here to strike up a conversation with him?
Eh, in this poor and remote place, it shouldn't be possible. However, when he thought of Zhao Yingying, he couldn't help but twitch his lips. Who said it wouldn't be possible cheh --
Then, he slowly lowered the car window with a casual look. He even made a pose that he thought was very charming. He looked at Kang Xiaoqiao and said, "Miss, please show mercy. If you continue to knock like this, the glass will be shattered by you."
Kang Xiaoqiao was knocking vigorously. Now that the car window was lowered, her eyes lit up. A lazy man was sitting in front of her. He was wearing a wilderness suit, didn't wear a hat, and had short hair. He had delicate features, especially those pair of peach blossom eyes.
Xia Zijun even winked at her. He was very seductive. His nose was high and his lips were thin. He looked like he had seduced many girls. He was very familiar with the way he winked.
