Chapter 207： where's the meat

Chapter 207 Where did the meat come from?

"That's not enough." Wang Chunying said: "You can't get married without a lot of people? It's better to buy more than run out of time."

What he said made sense, but Li Jinhua felt that these should be enough.

But in the end, they still couldn’t bear the meaning of the younger siblings, and the whole family went to the commune early the next morning.

Shen Man and Gu Nan and Li Wenting went to take a shower, and then went shopping.

While Li Jinhua and Wang Chunying went to buy other things, the non-staple food store in the town didn't have too many things, but fortunately, there were still some frozen fish.

The three of Shen Man came out after taking a shower and waiting for their hair to dry. Li Jinhua and the others were still waiting at the supply and marketing cooperative, so they went directly.

"I'm going to buy some things, you go to find your aunts and the others." Shen Man thought about getting married soon after Chinese New Year, so she should buy more things to prepare.

They brought back a lot of food, but they didn’t bring any meat. This kind of food is not easy to keep on the train, so they didn’t bring it.

Finding a remote place, she took out 20 catties of pork from the space, it’s hard to say too much, and these are fine.

Gathered with everyone with the meat, everyone was shocked when they saw what she brought.

"Where did the meat come from? I went to the butcher shop just now, and there was no meat at all." Wang Chunying was very surprised, and really couldn't figure it out.

The main thing is that there are no channels to buy. Everyone is like this. You can’t buy it if you have money and a ticket.

Hearing this, Shen Man said with a smile: "I met some meat sellers, and I bought some if the price was right. There are a few of them. It is estimated that they come from the countryside to sell, and each person sells a few catties."

In fact, there are also such phenomena, most of which are bartered. Slaughtering pigs during the Chinese New Year is cheap, and you have to pay a ticket to sell meat in the city, but the members of the brigade don't need it.

So, buy more if you can, and buy some if you want to exchange for other things, and come to the commune to exchange things.

No one doubted it anymore, but Li Jinhua was very distressed, "You kid, you said it's enough, why buy so much meat?"

Actually, she also knew in her heart that Shen Man was doing it for Gu's parents.

After all, when you get married, the Gu family holds a banquet. The banquet is beautiful, and the Gu family has face.

Shen Man smiled and waved his hands: "Auntie, we are all a family, and we can't finish the banquet, so let's save it and eat slowly."

Hearing this, Li Jinhua felt emotional, and said, "You often mail me things in the city, so don't waste money in the future. Your uncle and I have food and drink at home, so don't worry."

"Now that we are young, you don't need to worry about it. When we are old, we will have time for you to be filial."

That's what I said, but I'm still very happy in my heart. This proves that they are one-hearted with their family and treat them as real family members.

Even if you don’t mail something, no one can pick it up.

Besides, it's so far away, so I won't say anything if I don't think about it.

"How can I do that." Shen Man replied: "Be filial now and you will be filial in the future. Just wait for the old couple to enjoy the blessings."

That's what she thinks in her heart, and she has to say good things, after all, she will be a family in the future, and she doesn't want to make trouble with her mother-in-law.

What's more, after giving birth to a child, I'm afraid Li Jinhua will be in trouble. They both go to work, so who can look after the child?

Hiring a babysitter must have a standard now, and their family is not qualified.

Everyone laughed when they heard her words. Shen Man's attitude is also the basis for the family to get along with each other in the future.

If she is unwilling, Gu Chen will be in a dilemma.

This situation will be much better. The most important thing is for the family to get along in harmony.

Li Jinhua's heart was not warm enough, and the smile on her face proved how happy she was.

To have a filial daughter-in-law, what more do you need? Just wait and enjoy.

Back home, Gu Yuan and his wife also brought their children back.

Several people greeted each other, and seeing Li Mei's appearance, she was indeed a little unhappy.

Everyone can see it, but no one would ask about this kind of thing.

"Xiaoman, isn't the city much bigger than our commune?" Li Mei went to chat with her when she was free.

Looking at the beautifully dressed Shen Man, she had mixed feelings in her heart.

But she is not jealous, after all, Gu Chen is really capable.

Everyone has their own destiny, she is not jealous of her family members.

Hearing this, Shen Man said with a smile: "That's incomparable, the city is two or three times bigger than our Hongqi Township!"

Hongqi Township was only a county-level town in later generations, but it is not small now. There is a mine and a hardware factory and a fertilizer factory.

The most important thing is that there is a train station, which makes it more convenient to travel and do business.

As soon as he heard that it was bigger than Hongqi Township, Li Mei immediately had a longing look in his eyes.

She has been to Hongqi Township twice, the prosperity there is much better than the commune, she thinks it is a big city.

But she never went to the city once.

"I must visit it when I have a chance." Li Mei said, setting a goal in her heart.

Shen Man looked at her yearning eyes, and said: "Sister-in-law, if you have nothing to do, you can go to the city to play? It happens that there is no work during this time, so you can go for a stroll after we leave."

If you don’t take a walk while you’re young, where else can you go when you’re old? That's what she thought, and she must go to a far place to take a look when she has the opportunity.

Hearing this, Li Mei looked hesitant, and after a while, she smiled and said: "Forget it, take the family with you, where to go to play."

Shen Man didn't understand this kind of thinking, but he also understood it. Many women in later generations are like this. Their ambitions before marriage have been smoothed out by oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

Wherever you go, you have to think about your family members. How dare you go out easily?

At this time, Gu Yuan walked in from the door and said, "Meizi, you can go if you want. Don't worry at home, my mother can take care of the children. I'm going to work, why worry?"

In the past, my family didn’t have the conditions, and I couldn’t go anywhere, but now it’s all right. His monthly salary is more than 20 yuan, and he doesn’t have much expenses. What else do he care about?

The daughter-in-law can go wherever she wants.

I have to say that the men in the Gu family dote on their wives, and they will give them the best if they can, and they can only wait later if they can't.

Seeing what he said, Li Mei's mood improved too. I, she nodded and said, "Okay, I haven't gone out for a walk in these years, this time I have to go out to see the world."

Going to the city these days is to see the world, one can imagine how difficult life is.

Having said that, the smile on Li Mei's face never faded.

A few days later, on the evening of the New Year's Eve, the whole family got busy.

Making dumplings and cooking vegetables, everyone is busy with their own work.

Even Liu Wenting is not idle, there is no way, there are many people eating, and there are many dishes prepared.

At eight o'clock in the evening, everyone sat around the table.

If there are too many people, men and women will be separated into two tables. The men will drink, and the women will not drink when they eat.

"This year's Chinese New Year is so lively, I hope we can celebrate the New Year like this in the future." Gu Dacheng held the wine glass, and the smile on his face showed how happy he was.

There are only a few children in the family, and Li Jinyuan can’t come back every year. It’s really not easy to get together!
