The era is sweet and fried: the widow and her man are back

Chapter 18, Take the child home
The steamed stuffed buns in the space are not as good as the ones she bought in state-run restaurants. Today, she spent all the food stamps that were about to expire, and bought about thirty steamed stuffed buns.

Also bring some to Aunt Peng.

Why only take a few, because if you take too much, Aunt Peng won't ask for it, and I don't know how many troubles will be caused by pushing around there.

It's better to take a few, and it's hard for people to refuse.

For those old clothes and quilts on the ground, she will send them over at night after the children are asleep.

For some things, she still planned to avoid some children, because she was afraid that if they didn't speak firmly, it would be bad if they caused trouble.

A pot of rice was cooked, and the aroma of the rice spread far and wide.

The four people living next door also smelled the fragrance.

"This is the smell of rice. Alas, it's been a long time since I've eaten rice." Elder Zhou glanced out, then shrugged his nose vigorously to make the smell deeper.

"Come on, if you smell the wild vegetable porridge at night, you won't be able to drink it anymore." Elder Li sat beside the fire and stirred the wild vegetable porridge in the pot with two wooden sticks.

Although it is called wild vegetable porridge, there are many vegetables and little food in it, and the corn kernels can be counted clearly.

Elder Zhou sighed, "Oh, yes."

They heard a lot about the situation next door today, but they didn't expect that a woman would have such courage to separate the house for her own child.

Zhou Lan looked at her old man's unscrupulous appearance, and gave him an angry look, "Okay, don't be afraid of embarrassment, how old are you, and you are still so greedy."

Having said that, she couldn't help swallowing her saliva twice. There was no way, the smell was really too fragrant.

Not long after, the aroma of the rice was replaced by the aroma of the dishes, and several people lost their mood.

After the food at home was ready, Bai Jiu locked the door and went out with the things she had prepared for Aunt Peng.

"Aiguo is cooking." Bai Jiu became acquainted with Peng Aiguo after coming here twice, and lost the familiarity he had before.

"Hi, Aunt Bai." Peng Aiguo called out politely when he saw the visitor.

But in his heart, he still dislikes his mother Zhengyang.

Today Zhengyang said that his mother bought a lot of delicious food for him and his sister, but he felt that it was just that she had just received the money, and he felt that he had to figure out what to do in the future.

After all, for the sake of filial piety, she doesn't even care about her own children. Such a person is not worthy of being a mother.

Seeing Aiguo's estranged attitude towards her, Bai Jiu was a little confused, but didn't think much about it.

"Where are Zhengyang and Xiuxiu?"

Peng Aiguo stopped what he was doing and put down his axe, "It's indoors, it's windy and cold outside."

After speaking, he walked quickly into the main room.

The Peng family's house is relatively large in the village. There are two main rooms, the kitchen is built separately, and the main room in the middle is more spacious and bright.

It wasn't that no one cared about the Peng family's house when the Peng family's son died, but the Peng family also had a grandson, so everyone was only jealous.

This also made Aunt Peng's life in the village even more difficult.

"Mother is here." In the house, Zhengyang and Xiuxiu, who were working with grandma, wanted to run out of the house when they heard their mother's voice.

How could Aunt Peng do what they wanted: "Don't worry, your mother will come in soon." Immediately stopped them.

The child is weak, and he must catch a cold from the cold and heat. There is a kang in the room, but there is nothing outside.

No coat, who can stand running out like this.

Bai Jiu followed Peng Aiguo and walked in.

As soon as he came in, he heard the two children laughing, and Bai Jiu unconsciously had a smile on his face.

"Zhengyang Xiuxiu, are you good at Grandma Peng's house? Do you have skin today?" Bai Jiu walked into Aunt Peng's room with a basket on her back.

The two children were standing on the kang, and when they saw their mother coming in, they immediately got off the kang and rushed towards Bai Jiu.

Bai Jiu struggled to hold the two of them steady, "What's the hurry, mother doesn't run away, go up to the kang, it's very cold underground." Seeing that the two were not wearing shoes, Bai Jiu immediately raised them and lifted them up.

"It's not that I'm so happy to see you, Zhengyang and Xiuxiu couldn't help but run down." Aunt Peng saw their mother and child arguing, and couldn't help defending the two children.

"Auntie, thank you and Patriotic. I bought almost everything I should have bought today, and then I will be at home." Bai Jiu is very grateful to Aunt Peng, whether it was before or now.

"That's good, but your hands should be tighter." Aunt Peng couldn't help but ordered again.

"I know, those are the things that should be bought, they can't be saved, and they won't be in the future." She understood the old man's thoughts.

All she can do is follow the old man.

"Auntie, these are for you and Patriotic, I didn't buy much, try something new."

"These are the coarse cloth I bought at the supply and marketing cooperative today. These are free of tickets, and they are quite cheap. I bought some back for you and Aiguo."

Steamed stuffed buns, cloth, and a little bit of rice strips, except for the cloth, are not valuable things. Aunt Peng had thought of giving two sets of clothes a long time ago.

Because she told Aunt Peng earlier that she would give her manual money, but Aunt Peng didn't want it, so she had to make up for it from other places.

Sending cloth couldn't be better.

"You." Aunt Peng didn't refuse, and if she refused again, she would be divided. Besides, coarse cloth is not expensive, at worst, she would just help Bai Jiu a little more in the future.

"Don't send things over in the future. You're having a hard time yourself. Keep the good things for yourself and make up for the children and you. Your body has been so empty these years."

Don't look at her superficially, but women understand women, Li Nei Baijiu's body has long been exhausted.

If she wasn't young, I'm afraid those illnesses would have come to her long ago.

"Okay, listen to my aunt."

After leaving the things behind, Bai Jiu helped put the children's clothes and shoes on, and led them away from Peng's house and drove home.

It gets dark early in winter, so we can't delay any longer.

As soon as they arrived at the door, Zhengyang and Xiuxiu smelled the aroma, "Mother, did you cook braised pork again today?" This is the smell of meat, that's right.

"Smelly boy, your nose is quite good. Let's go home and have a look to find out."

Bai Jiu loves this pair of children more and more.

Zhengyang screamed and ran home.

Xiuxiu didn't fall behind either, and followed closely in her brother's footsteps.

After entering the house, the fragrance is stronger.

But when they saw the dishes warming on the stove on the table, the little family members were dumbfounded, "Mother, what kind of dish is this?"

It's really not their fault. Not everyone can eat braised vegetables in this day and age.

"This is called stewed vegetables. My mother bought it back in the county. Eat it quickly." I knew this little guy was hungry.

After dinner, the mother and son lay dead again, "Mom, will our family eat meat every day?" Zhengyang is a sensible person. Although he eats a lot, he is also worried about the future.

Aiguo told him today that if his mother is not careful, their family may return to their old life at grandma's house in the future.

Thinking of the days when grandma was at home, Zhengyang rejected him from the bottom of his heart. He didn't like that home, nor did he like that kind of life.
