Chapter 114 Restocking from the Mall
Looking at the various kinds of food on the bullock cart, Shui Qing muttered: "I feel like a thief."
Move this and that back.
Fan Jin smiled gently and said sincerely, "This is the sincere wish of my mother and brother."
In the past, my father-in-law and mother-in-law were also like this. They felt sorry for Shui Qing and would always subsidize meat, grain and eggs for them to take home to eat from time to time.
It’s just that the family was not separated at that time, and my mother controlled the whole family, and all food had to be distributed by her.
The mother said that the things belonging to the daughter-in-law of the undivided family must be handed over and belong to the public. When it came time to eat, she said there was not enough meat, so Shui Qing and her two daughters' share was gone.
A few years later, the father-in-law and mother-in-law knew that the subsidized food could not reach their daughter's stomach, so they never gave it to her again.
But my mother thought that my father-in-law's family was stingy. The meat and polished rice and eggs they gave her were just superficial, and they became even more harsh on Shui Qing later.
My father-in-law and mother-in-law were not happy with my mother's actions and words, and the two families basically had no contact with each other.
After the family was separated, Shui Qing could interact with her parents freely again.
Shui Qing thought that fortunately Fan Jin asked her to bring more things when she went home.
Then she thought, did he know that either her father, mother or brother would pack things for her and bring them back, so he was afraid that her father and mother would suffer, so he told her to bring more?
She raised her eyes and looked at Fan Jinran's smiling brows on the bicycle frame, feeling warm in her heart.
The winter wind blows on my face, but it's not too cold.
When the oxcart returned to Shanshui Village, the sun had already set to the west.
Fan's mother and Sun Jinhua were chatting with people under the big tree at the head of the village with their sleeves folded up.
The other women were either collecting shoe soles or making hats, but Fan Mu and Sun Jinhua were the only ones chatting with nothing.
Seeing Fan Jin and Shui Qing sitting on the bullock cart, Fan's mother's eyes were full of anger, and she asked with all her face, "What does it look like for a woman to run around all day long!
Is this how your mother taught you when you were a girl at home? "
Sun Jinhua quickly pulled up the oilcloth covering the trolley, revealing the large amount of bacon inside. His eyes suddenly lit up and he shouted: "Mom, look!
My brother-in-law and sister-in-law bought a lot of bacon! "
When she shouted, not only Fan's mother looked over, but also the eyes of other people in the village.
Seeing everyone looking over, Sun Jinhua said proudly: "Brothers and sisters, my brother-in-law bought this with his money. He won't give it to me, my sister-in-law, but he can't give it to his own mother, right?"
Before Shui Qing could speak, Fan Jin frowned and said, "I didn't buy this with my money."
Sun Jinhua curled her lips, "Are you trying to say that your siblings bought it with the money they earned?
But even if the younger siblings earned money to buy it, the mother-in-law is also the mother, so giving at least half of the portion to the mother-in-law is considered filial! "
"Shui Qing didn't buy this with his money." Fan Jin said coldly.
Everyone opened their eyes in surprise.
If they didn’t earn money to buy it, how could it be something that fell from the sky?
Fan Jin said unhurriedly: "My mother-in-law specially prepared it and brought it back to us, mainly for her daughter and several grandchildren.
I really don’t have the shame to give my mother the food given by my wife’s family. "
As soon as she said this, Mrs. Fan couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
It’s okay for Hu’s mother to give bacon to her own daughter, but she also gives it to her grandson! How does this make her, a grandma, cope with herself?
Doesn't this look ugly against her?
Someone among the women who were watching immediately asked loudly: "Aunt Fan, you can't be compared with your in-laws. She is giving it to your grandson, who is your own grandson!"
"Didn't you always say that it was Lao Fan's family before? Now that someone with a different surname has sent a big basket of bacon, you, the grandma, can't express your gratitude?"
The women who were watching did not mind the excitement, and they cheered each other.
Fan's mother's face turned red. In the past, she ate her food behind closed doors. How could outsiders admit it if they knew it?
Now that the family is divided, if she definitely can't get it, she will be forced to express her position. She looked at the eldest daughter-in-law with accusing eyes and cursed in a low voice: "You are the one with the meanest tricks!"
Why are you lifting someone's tarp when you have nothing to do?
It's fine now, it's such a shame.
Sun Jinhua also felt aggrieved. When she saw the bulge inside the oilcloth, there must be something there.
I just wanted to take advantage and go back, but I didn't know that my brother-in-law said in front of everyone that the father-in-law's family gave it to me.
Even if he eats food from his wife’s mother’s family, he won’t be too upset!
"You're back! You're an embarrassment!" Fan's mother turned back angrily, without even looking at Fan Jin and Shui Qing.
Sun Jinhua quickly followed.
Fan’s mother, who became more and more angry as she thought about it, scolded her along the way: “Look at your Sun family, you can’t even see a fart!
In the past, you could still eat pork and eggs sent by the Hu family. If you hadn't been greedy and ate Hu Shuiqing's portion, would the Hu family still have sent them? "
"No, you have to go back to Sun's house tomorrow and ask for it! If we don't bring food to you, you'll be hungry!"
Sun Jinhua panicked. She had something good to send to her mother's house, but her mother and brothers were not satisfied. If she went back to ask for something, they would have to kick her out.
There was a lot of mourning now.
Why is she trying to lift the oilcloth so stupidly?
Shui Qing listened to her mother-in-law and sister-in-law blaming each other, saying goodbye to the women in the village, and Fan Jin drove the bullock cart towards home.
After reaching the high slope and away from the crowds in the village, Shui Qing saw that there was no one around. Using the cover of the oilcloth, he started to buy things from the mall and put them in. Thinking of the cheap Sun Jinhua, it was really wise not to buy them in advance!
Thirty fat rabbits come first!
Pig's trotters, pork kidneys, pork liver, pig's head, spare ribs, pork bones... Anyway, buy everything related to pigs!
There are many people, and a lot of food can be consumed every day.
In addition, it's cold, so it's okay to leave it for a few days and eat it slowly.
Bought a leg of lamb.
Bought 20 live ducks and a basket of duck eggs, and there will be salted duck eggs that can't be eaten later.
There are also a series of bean products such as tofu, dried bean curd, bean curd, fried gluten, bean curd, etc.
I bought a lot of bean curd, fried gluten, bean curd, etc. that can be stored, and only bought two days' worth of tofu and dried bean curd that can't be stored.
I also bought a lot of marinade and seasonings, and in the end I spent less than two thousand yuan in total.
The first three digits of the balance were not even touched.
Shuiqing:..... It feels so good to be rich!
At this time, the ox cart was really full.
Fan Jin watched Shuiqing buy, buy, and watch the cart covered with oilcloth filled with food, his eyes soft.
These days, he was either with Fan He or Ling Ran, and it had been a long time since he could buy things from the mall and pretend to bring them back.
Today, the two of them went out alone and came back, so of course they had to buy more.
The two were originally worried that there would be too many people when they returned home, and they would ask questions, but in the end, except for Yan Qiu and Xing Hui who were already at home, they were the first to arrive home!
Fan Jin began to unload the goods.
First, send the rabbits and ducks to the breeding place, and then send the ingredients that can be stored to the warehouse.
Looking at the increasingly full warehouse, Fan Jin thought that it was only a few months from not having enough to eat to having a warehouse dedicated to storing grain and food.
And this was all thanks to Shui Qing.
