Chapter 1383: Two worlds 6
Can't we just try to save as much as we can?
In the communal kitchen, seeing Zhao Xiulan and Yang Shumin eating meat, the other families were very envious.
Meat is a good thing, who doesn't want to eat it? Too bad it doesn't exist!
In the compound, several other families ignored Yang Shumin, especially the women of several families, who were hostile to Yang Shumin and naturally would not talk to her.
Looking at Zhao Xiulan, the newcomer has a good temper, so the other families and Zhao Xiulan are doing fine.
Zhao Xiulan is like this. For people he doesn't like, the superficial relationship is maintained. For those who look good, Zhao Xiulan will consider deep friendship.
After observation, Zhao Xiulan found that a family surnamed Wang living next to her was not bad. The husband and wife both went to work and lived a steady life. The family's children and in-laws came to bring them, and the two elderly people were also relatively kind.
There is an open space in the compound, which is divided equally among several families in the compound. The land allocated to each family is not large, but it is not particularly small, and it can grow some things.
Others grow flowers and plants, and this old couple from the countryside planted some vegetables. In addition to eating at home, I also often give some to other families in the compound.
After Zhao Xiulan came here, she was also given two dishes. Although it was not very valuable, it was a kindness from others.
The two elderly people are also very enthusiastic when they need help.
If people treat her well, Zhao Xiulan will naturally return with courtesy. Sometimes they also send some food in the past as a return gift.
Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and it is also very necessary to have a good relationship with neighbors.
A woman in her 40s who lives in Xihu, called Qian Dani, came from the countryside and has many bad habits of the country people.
She usually dresses sloppily, and her quality is not very good. She has a loud voice. Every morning, Zhao Xiulan can hear her shouting loudly, which makes her sleepless.
Seeing that Zhao Xiulan had bought ribs, she leaned over and asked, "Sister, where did you get those ribs?"
Zhao Xiulan was baffled by Qian Dani's words, and replied lightly, "Of course I bought it from a non-staple food store. Could it be that I stole it back?"
Qian Dani pouted and said, "Then you're really lucky to be able to buy spareribs at the grocery store. I queued up several times before and couldn't buy them. It's too difficult to buy meat, so you have to get it early in the morning. Only by lining up in the past can you have a chance.”
Zhao Xiulan shrugged and replied, "If you really want to buy it, go back and line up early!"
Qian Dani twitched the corners of her mouth and said, "That's what I said, but it depends on luck. If you are lucky, you can buy it early in the queue. If you are unlucky, it's useless to go early.
I asked you just now. I thought you had other ways to get meat. I wondered if you could help me and bring me a pound. The children in my family have not eaten meat for many days, and now they are all hungry. died. "
Zhao Xiulan didn't like Qian Dani very much, and Zhao Xiulan was also very disgusted by the way Qian Dani spoke, so she directly said, "Sister-in-law, you can't talk nonsense, we can't do speculative things, just buy meat if you want. Go directly to the grocery store to line up, I bought my ribs from the grocery store, but there is no other way!"
Qian Dani was frightened by Zhao Xiulan's words. She was afraid that Zhao Xiulan would falsely accuse her of speculating, so she didn't dare to say anything.
