Starting from selling lunch boxes at the construction site

Chapter 2 Two Little Greedy Cats

When they walked out of the room, they bumped into their younger siblings who were eavesdropping under the window. When Xu An found out, the two yelled and ran wildly in the yard in a panic, shouting, "Brother is here, brother is so scary."

Xu An smiled and scolded the two of them, then went back to his room to look for clean clothes.

High school uniforms are uniform, with two sets of short-sleeves in summer and two sets of long-sleeves in winter.The shoes are unified old domestic brand Huili, with white bottom and blue edge or white bottom and red edge.

After rummaging through the bulky wooden box next to the bed, I found only four sets of school uniforms, two sets of summer clothes and two sets of winter clothes, a large black cotton jacket for winter, two sweaters, two sets of autumn clothes and long trousers, and three Underwear, nothing else.

No wonder I have the impression that I have been wearing this suit during the summer vacation, and my feeling is that apart from this suit, I have no other daily clothes.

The quality of the school uniform is quite good. After changing and washing for three years, except that it looks a little old, it has not been deformed or faded, and it looks like it can fight for another three or four years.

After changing his clothes, Xu An took out 51 yuan and 21 cents out of the 30 yuan and put it in his pocket, and put the remaining [-] yuan under the wooden box.

I glanced at the alarm clock, it was almost eleven o'clock, and the market usually closes at around nine o'clock, so I would definitely not be able to buy anything in the past, so I might as well go to the butcher's house at the west end of the village to see if there is any leftover meat that I can weigh in.

After locking the courtyard door and telling the two not to open the door until he came back, Xu An felt relieved and walked towards the west of the village.

The butcher's name is Xu Guosheng. Every day, he kills a pig from the pig farm in the town and buys it at the market. The leftover meat from the market will be brought home and sold to the villagers at a lower price.

After walking for more than five minutes, Xu An came to the courtyard of Xu Guosheng's house. After a long distance, he heard Xu Guosheng's wife gossip loudly.

"We came back late from the market this morning and didn't look at it. I heard that Xu An jumped into the river in the morning. When he fished it, he was still bleeding. It was scary."

"It's nothing to worry about, don't be blind, why did you jump into the river for no reason. I guess, I wanted to catch fish in the river, but accidentally drowned."

"Then why did you get bloody?"

"I don't know, didn't I watch it?"

Xu An touched his nose in embarrassment. The two people seemed to be gossiping about him.

It is estimated that this matter will be talked about by everyone in the village for some time to come, just get used to it.

Xu An increased his strength and walked a few steps, made some noise, pushed open the courtyard door of Xu Guosheng's house, and greeted the two as if he had just arrived: "Uncle Guosheng, Auntie, there are some leftovers in the market today. Is there any meat left?"

Talking about Xu An's gossip, Xu An appeared in the yard, startling the two of them, and it was obvious that the fat on their bodies jumped when they saw Xu An.

Xu Guosheng's wife reacted quickly, turned her head and walked into the room, and said as she walked, "There are some lean meat and bones left, how much do you want?"

In 2012, the price of meat was relatively cheap. Pork was [-] yuan a catty, and big bones were [-] yuan a catty.

I want to stew a bone soup for grandma, and then fry two meat dishes.But there is no refrigerator at home, so I need a little less meat, which is enough for two meals.

"If you want a catty of bones, half a catty of meat will do. Please trouble me."

"What's the trouble? I'll give you all the rest. Just give me 15 yuan in total."

Speaking of which, Xu Guosheng's daughter-in-law handed a bulging red plastic bag to Xu An's hand, and after drawing 15 yuan from his hand, she pushed him out of the yard and closed the gate.

Xu An weighed the bag in his hand. It weighed at least three and a half catties. Auntie closed the courtyard door because she was afraid that she would not want it.

Although very moved, Xu An is not a person who likes to take advantage of others, so he counted out five yuan and stuffed it through the gap in the courtyard door, and said loudly: "Auntie, I will stuff the rest of the money into the gap in the door." , you remember to take it away and don’t be blown away by the wind.”

The door was pushed open with a bang, and Xu Guosheng's wife only saw Xu An's back running away.

Picking up five yuan from the ground, closing the courtyard door, he couldn't help muttering: "Why do you give me an extra five yuan, and put it on his account, and take five yuan less next time."

When Xu Guosheng walked into the kitchen, he wailed: "Daughter-in-law, I keep the big bones for stewing soup, have you sold them all?"

Xu Guosheng's daughter-in-law gave him a gouged look, and said angrily, "Eat one less meal to lose weight. Look at your fat body, and shake it every step of the way. You still have the nerve to eat it."

"If you don't eat, you don't eat, why are you so fierce." Xu Guosheng turned around and whispered, "They all have the same body, why are you only talking about me?"

When I came here, there was no one on the road, but when I went back, I met many familiar people.

Everyone greeted Xu An first, then turned around and started whispering.

Xu An said to this, if you want to gossip about me, wait until I go a little further away, I can hear you all!

As soon as they walked to the gate of the courtyard, they saw two small heads through the gap, looking out the door eagerly. After confirming that the person who came was the elder brother, the two opened the courtyard door together, cheered and ran to Xu An's side, and began to chatter .

"Brother, we have been watching behind the door to see if the door has not been opened!"

"Brother, what are you holding?"

"Brother, is this meat, is this pork meat?"

"elder brother,"

"."

Xu An, whose mind was a little buzzing from the noise, knelt down and picked up the two of them one by one.

After the two exclaimed in surprise, they hugged Xu An's head tightly, covering his eyes tightly.

"Xiaokang Xiaole, you hug her too tightly, my brother can't see the way, he's about to fall."

"Don't fall, don't fall, it hurts to fall."

The small hands holding their heads moved down, one hugged Xu An's mouth, and the other strangled Xu An's neck.

Well, at least I can see the road clearly.

"Malaysia, let's go~"

"Hold on, Dama is about to start walking!"

Xu An deliberately shook his body, causing the two of them to squeak and scream.

He walked around the yard with the two of them before putting them down, and opened the plastic bag to show them the pork inside.

"This is pork meat, it will turn into a super delicious meatloaf in a while, and there is also a super super super delicious fried meat.

This is a big pig bone, which is to make soup for grandma. After drinking the soup stewed with pig bones, grandma can get out of bed and play with Xiaokang Xiaole. "

In Xu An's description, the two little people looked at the meat, and a drop of crystal clear saliva overflowed from the corner of their mouths.

"Hey, the two little greedy cats are actually drooling."

Being ridiculed by Xu An, the two immediately became angry. They stretched out their hands to wipe the drool from their mouths, pointed at Xu An and shouted: "Brother is a gluttonous cat, a gluttonous cat!"

Grandma Xu, who had been lying on her side, suddenly turned over when she heard the three siblings playing outside, with a smile on her face.

No matter how difficult the day is, as long as we work together, we will gradually get better.
