Chapter 12 Sister-in-law with a small belly

Hearing Yunmo's words, the driver laughed and said, "Sister, two years earlier, you wouldn't have been able to buy anything without a ticket. Now that it's opened, the control is not as strict as before. You go to the vegetable market. Talk to the vegetable seller, and they will find a way for you."

"I see, master, thank you."

"What are you polite about?"

After a short chat with the driver, we arrived at the entrance of Dafeng Department Store.

Paying the money and getting off the car, Yunmo stared at the gate of the department store for a long time and couldn't come to her senses.

If it weren't for the words "Dafeng Department Store" written in red on a white background above the main entrance, Yunmo would have been unable to connect the dilapidated facade in front of her with the luxurious shopping malls of later generations.

It may be because of the promotion, but there are a lot of customers, and there is an endless stream, just like a vegetable market.

Yunmo didn't want to squeeze with people, so she looked around, saw a clothing store diagonally opposite with sharp eyes, and turned around decisively.

There are quite a lot of clothes in the clothing store, but they are either outdated in style or fancy in color. Yun Mo spent a long time picking out clothes but couldn't find what she liked, so she casually pointed to a printed dress.

"How much is this?"

"If you buy it sincerely, I will give you this number."

The boss made a gesture of eight, "I usually sell it for 10 yuan. Girl, you look good and have a good figure. You must look good in this skirt."

"I don't have a cloth ticket, can I use money?"

The proprietress looked embarrassed, "It's okay, but the price is more expensive."

"I'll give you 10 yuan."

"Okay! I'll wrap it up for you!"

Seeing that the proprietress was smiling from ear to ear, Yunmo seriously suspected that her price was too high.

After paying the money, Yunmo took the opportunity to ask the proprietress, "Sister, are there any water heaters around here?"

"Water heater? What's that?"

Yunmo went to several small shops one after another and bought a lot of things, but no one knew what the water heater was. It wasn't until she explained that it was used for bathing that someone told her that she could go to the bathroom to take a bath.

This inspired Yunmo. She couldn't buy a water heater, but she could build a private boiler like a bathhouse.

After shopping for her necessities, Yunmo put all her things into the space in a place where no one was around, and then took a taxi back to the old street with vegetables.

It was hot at noon, Li Li took her son Ling Jiale to rest in the main room, while Ling Chunhua sat on the pony to pick vegetables and leaves.

Seeing Yunmo coming back, Li Li raised her voice and asked, "Have you bought any food?"

"I bought it."

Yunmo put the dishes in her hand on the table.

Li Li stood up and took a look, and when she found a piece of meat, a smile appeared on her face.

"It's a good buy. This cabbage looks fresh and juicy. It's so hot, go and have a rest. I'll call you when the meal is ready."

"it is good."

Looking at Ling Jiale who was sitting on the mat eating candy, Yunmo turned around and took out two pieces of candy from her handbag and handed them to Ling Chunhua.

"Spring flowers, here you are."

Big white rabbit toffee!

Ling Chunhua slightly opened her eyes wide, her small face was full of surprise and disbelief.

She saw Niuniu across from her eat it before, and when she finished eating, she always had a strong and sweet taste in her mouth.

Ling Chunhua just took the candy from her hand, before it was warmed up, Li Li took it away and put it in her pocket, "Girls don't worry about rotten teeth, so hurry up and choose the dishes."

"Oh."

Ling Chunhua lowered her head in frustration and continued to choose vegetables.

Yun Mo took a look at Li Li, turned around and went back to her room without saying anything.

Close the door, Yunmo picked up the pottery bowl on the wooden table, took some spiritual spring water from the space and drank it, the whole person felt much more comfortable.

After resting for a while, Yunmo put the mirror, comb, washing powder, cream, etc. she bought back on the window sill.

In fact, there are high-end skin care products brought from the 21st century in her space, but those things cannot be shown to others, so I bought these for decoration.

Lunch is brown rice. There are two dishes, one is the leftovers from the morning, and the other is stir-fried sweet potato leaves.

Yunmo reluctantly ate half a bowl of brown rice with the tip of the yam leaf.

After taking a nap in the afternoon, Yunmo approached Li Li and discussed about installing a boiler at home.

"Brothers and sisters, I have no problem with you wanting to install a boiler, but I can't afford the money. You don't know that your elder brother only earns twenty or thirty yuan a month outside, and he has to support me and Jiale Niang. Very tight."

Yunmo actually didn't want Li Li to pay, but Li Li's small belly really made Yunmo feel unhappy.

"Sister-in-law, let me think about it again. The cost of building a boiler is not small, and I don't have much spare money."

Li Li replied with a half-smile, "Okay, anyway, I'm used to not using a boiler, I'm not as delicate as you."

Yunmo went back to her room sullenly.

She didn't eat much at noon, so she was already a little hungry.

Yunmo locked the door, then took out biscuits and books from the space, lying on the bed and reading while passing the time.

When the sun was about to set in the evening, Yunmo packed up and went out to find the bathhouse to take a bath.

There are quite a lot of bathhouses in the old street. There are two bathhouses in the alley where Guang Yunmo lives, but the environment and facilities are very simple.

In a wet and bare bathroom, there are four or five faucets standing above the head, without any shelter between each other, and there are seven or eight plum blossom holes on the walls on both sides to drain steam.

The wall itself is not high, if a tall man like Ling Chuan can peek inside from the Plum Blossom Cave by stepping on a stool.

Yunmo took a shower in the bathroom almost terrified, and at the same time she was determined to build her own bathroom.

Back home, Ling Chunhua had already prepared dinner.

The main food is noodles, and the dishes are still the ones at noon. The cabbage, toast and pork she bought were not fried, and the noodles were black. I don’t know what they are made of.

Yunmo couldn't eat after one bite, and put down her chopsticks in frustration.

Seeing her like this, Li Li joked, "Hey, what's the matter?"

"I'm not hungry, you guys eat."

Li Li bitterly said to her, "Sisters and sisters, this is the condition of our house. It's not bad. At least we can have a hot dinner. The neighbors don't open the fire for many nights. Eating a cold bun is enough." Boiled water is just one meal, some don’t even eat at night, and only eat two meals a day.”

Yun Mo couldn't help but ask the doubts in her heart, "Sister-in-law, why don't I burn the meat and vegetables I bought at noon? It's so hot, wouldn't it be a pity if they spoiled?"

"Don't worry, it won't go bad. I'll go out and find some ice in a while, and freeze the meat. My mother's family will come over in two days, and then I'll fry it and eat it together."

Hearing this, Yun Mo didn't say anything, and waited for Li Li to finish her meal before calling to stop her.

"Sister-in-law, the pork I bought at noon today is 2 yuan, the potato is 8 cents, and the cabbage is 7 cents. The total is 3 yuan and 5 yuan. Do you think it is you who keep the account or me?"

Li Li's eyes widened all of a sudden, "Sister and brother, are you fooling me? Today's meat price is 1 yuan, and the piece you bought is at most a catty. How did you calculate it to be 2 yuan?

There are also potatoes and cabbage, which are sold outside for 1.5 cents a catty. What you bought adds up to 5 catties. Why do they cost 1 yuan and 5 cents? Although I haven't read as many books as you, I can still settle accounts. "
