My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 33

Wang Xiujuan rolled her eyes at Xu Ma, and at the same time shaves her face with her fingers, teasing:

"As far as your family's conditions are concerned, it's still 'difficult', so wouldn't we ordinary people not be able to survive?"

He pointed to Xu Dong and his wife who were growing vegetables:

"Look at this vegetable garden, with such a large area, which one has the luxury of your family, and still weeps poor with me?"

Xu Ma smiled awkwardly, and then replied: "Your family is not an ordinary family, right? Zhang Kai is still the director. I heard that he will be promoted to the district soon?"

"I haven't officially issued the document yet!"

Having said that, Wang Xiujuan's face was filled with uncontrollable joy and pride.

Xu Ma's face became sour when she saw the other party's face, and she casually said "Congratulations", and then turned the topic to how to grow vegetables.

"I didn't expect your family Xu Dong to know quite a lot. Now this kind of ghost weather, it's too cold at night, and the yard is prone to leaks. It is true that only some cold-resistant vegetables can be grown."

Born in the countryside, Wang Xiujuan grew up with her parents when she was young. Later, she was admitted to a junior college, where she also majored in agriculture and forestry. Farming is her housekeeping skill.

"Why is it so difficult to just grow and order vegetables!" Xu Ma was speechless.

"Actually, it's not impossible. You can build a better closed greenhouse on the vegetable garden. It's really not good. You can also make do with a vegetable greenhouse." Wang Xiujuan suggested.

"Forget it, I finally stopped for a while, I don't want to toss." Xu Ma refused without thinking about it when she heard it was so troublesome.

Wang Xiujuan felt a pity: "It's up to you, I wanted to borrow your vegetable garden to grow some strawberries, but it seems that I can't do it."

"What kind of strawberries are you planting, can't you just go to the market and buy them? It's quite big!"

Wang Xiujuan gave a rare explanation: "I grow it myself and eat it with confidence. There are not so many messy hormones."

"What do you mean, fruits also take hormones?"

Xu's mother was very surprised. I had only heard that pork and beef had hormones before, but I didn't expect that fruits also have hormones.

"What do you think, these hormonal fruits are fine for adults to eat, but children are different. They are developing. Who knows if there are sequelae, it is better to eat less." Wang Xiujuan explained in detail.

Xu's mother immediately paid attention to it. Her triplets were already weak. If they ate fruits containing hormones, would it be good?
After sending off Wang Xiujuan's grandparents and grandchildren, Xu's mother was very quick and called Xu Dong to her.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

Xu Dong patted the dust on his body and wiped the sweat from his forehead. It was almost evening, and the temperature hadn't dropped at all.

Mother Xu quickly handed over a towel, and then said Wang Xiujuan's suggestion, and expressed her approval.

"It's fine to build a flower house, but there is a shortage of materials on the market now, so let's talk about it after a while!" Xu Dong thought for a while and said.

As for the vegetable greenhouse, I will not consider it for the time being. First, it is too ugly and does not match the style of the courtyard house. Second, there are many children in the house, which is the age when dogs hate cats, and the plastic film is not durable.

"It's up to you!"

……

After planting radishes, Yang Lina briefly washed and went out to buy vegetables with Xu Ma.

Now every other day, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have to go out shopping.

Since the end of the panic buying, with the improvement of transportation conditions, the supply of vegetables in the capital region has increased significantly, which has greatly alleviated the "vegetable panic".

However, there is still a shortage of meat, which is hard to come by.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law first came to the nearest vegetable market. There are many vendors in the vegetable market, and there are many things for sale. It is easier to buy rare goods than the big supermarket.

Walking all the way, Yang Lina couldn't help complaining: "The price of vegetables has gone up again. I remember when I came here last time, cucumbers were still three yuan and three kilograms. Now they are almost four yuan."

"The potatoes have risen to four yuan and two, and I won't dare to peel the potatoes in the future." Xu Ma put down the potatoes in her hands and complained.

The potato vendor couldn't help but interject: "It's not that we want to raise the price, it's the wholesaler who has raised the price, and we can only follow."

"Oh, I don't know when it will be a head?" Xu Ma sighed.

"Then you have to wait. The first half of the year will definitely be out of play. Now let's see how the second half will be?" the vendor replied.

Yang Lina took the opportunity to ask:
"What if it doesn't rain in the second half of the year?"

The vendor spread his hands, "Let's not talk about vegetables then, maybe even eating will be a problem."

Perhaps stimulated by what the vendor said, Xu Ma bought [-] catties of potatoes in one go, not afraid of not being able to finish them, anyway, the potatoes are durable.

Carrying potatoes, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law bought some other vegetables, but there was not a single hair of pork.

The two who did not give up turned around in the vegetable market for several times, and finally hit the big luck.

"Boss, how much is the cheese bone?" Xu Ma asked immediately.

"Eighty...a pound, just shipped from outside, the quantity is limited, hurry up and buy what you want, and you won't be able to buy it later." The vendor replied lazily.

Xu Ma was angry when she heard it: "What? You don't have any meat on your bones. How dare you sell it for such an expensive price?"

"The market is at this price. I got these jelly bones back with a big relationship. If you don't buy them, don't block others."

Xu Ma hesitated for a while, but the bun was completely wrapped up by a local auntie.

"I'm so pissed off!" Xu Ma was still indignant after leaving the vegetable market.

Yang Lina persuaded with a wry smile: "Mom, don't be angry, it's worth noting that you don't buy the package, and there is no shortage of oil and meat in the family, so let's not take advantage of it."

"It's not the bones that I'm angry with, it's your father that I'm angry with. If it weren't for him, there would still be a yard full of meat hanging in our yard!" Xu Ma said with a lonely face.

Yang Lina was as tight as regretted it, but she couldn't say that, "Dongzi didn't say that, there are still a batch of bacon and ham in the basement, after all, there is no shortage of meat at home."

Xu's mother was relieved a lot at once, and was not very angry anymore, and couldn't help but sighed:
"It's still Dongzi who thinks too far. Your dad can't do it. He doesn't have the ability. Our family has to listen to Dongzi in the future."

Yang Lina naturally agreed, anyway, this matter would be beneficial to their husband and wife.

Next, the two went to a nearby big supermarket for a stroll. It's been almost half a month since the rush to buy, and many of the shelves inside are still empty.

This time I was lucky, I grabbed a turbot that weighed over three pounds, and I also bought a box of old popsicles.

After all, "summer" is here, and the Coco sisters have long been clamoring to eat ice cream, but unfortunately there is only one brand of old popsicles in the supermarket.

In the end, Turbo Fish spent 188 yuan, but the old popsicles did not go up much, 50 yuan a box.

When he got home, Xu Dong was fertilizing the vines. The vines that bloomed in April or May are now covered with large pea fruits, and they are expected to ripen next month.

In addition, a lot of bonsai trees and flowers in the yard have withered and died, which should not be able to adapt to the current climate. As for the ones that survived, they were all planted by Xu Dong on the edge of the vegetable garden.

In this way, when the flower house is built, it will be worthy of the name.
