Chapter 1579 Buy Half a Pig

"It's alright, I'm not that busy. I'll definitely pass you the shoes soon. Thank you for giving me the seeds," Song Zhi said happily.

Qiao Mei happily returned to her own house. After visiting the four women, she had a rough understanding of the family situation and income of each family. They were not nasty by nature. As long as she found the right way to get along well with them, life here would be more harmonious in the future.

She just did not know if the army superiors' family members were easy to get along with. Now that she was in the army base, she could not ask Yao Nian to investigate all these things for her. If Yao Nian was discovered, it would be a disaster for him. She could only rely on herself.

Xia Zhe rushed home before dark with a lot of pork and pork ribs in his hands, making countless people envious of him. However, Xia Zhe did not think that he had gone overboard.

In this era, even the soldiers did not get many chances to eat meat. They would get meat coupons but these were used up very quickly if they chose to have all their meals at the canteen. For Xia Zhe, he usually did not have any time to eat and would always make do with some snacks on the go. Even if he went to the canteen, he was usually the last one there. By that time, there would not be any meat dishes left, so he naturally had a whole bunch of meat coupons left.

"Oh my goodness! Did you buy half a pig?" Qiao Mei said in shock as she looked at all the meat in Xia Zhe's hands.

"I'm just worried that you won't have enough to eat. Besides, these things won't spoil if we keep them in the fridge. It's inconvenient for you to go down the mountain. What if you hurt yourself? I'll bring food for you whenever I come home. This way, you won't have to move around too much," Xia Zhe explained.

"My culinary skills are top-notch! Even Grandfather praises me! Don't look down on me!" Xia Zhe said.

Qiao Qiang was not picky about food at all. Even if it was just a simple dish of boiled cabbage, Qiao Qiang would eat it very happily, so what he said had no value at all!

Qiao Mei did not want to affect Xia Zhe's confidence. Since he wanted to cook, she would let him do it. Anyway, she was not in much of a mood to eat. She could steam plain buns or meat buns if necessary. If Xia Zhe failed to make anything, they could just have meat buns for dinner.

"What time do you need to go out tomorrow?" Qiao Mei asked curiously.

"About five or six in the morning. You won't be up yet at that time. In the morning, there's a small food cart selling breakfast at the apartment building. I'll buy some food for you before I go so you don't have to cook," Xia Zhe said.

"Why are you so familiar with all these?" Qiao Mei asked.

During the time of the earthquake, Qiao Mei had also lived with Xia Zhe in the army camp for a period of time. Xia Zhe had never been the kind of person who paid attention to all these things happening around him.
