Chapter 173
After talking and laughing for a while, Han Mingyu suddenly said, "by the way, I forgot to tell you. A few days ago, my uncle's little swallow came to me and asked me to borrow money. She said that she would go to high school. My uncle didn't provide for her and wanted to borrow money from me to go to school."
Han Mingxiu said hastily, "did you borrow her?"
Han Mingyu said with a smile, "what can I borrow? I don't go to work any more. I have to spend money on my own. I want one from my old mother-in-law. If I ask my old mother-in-law for money to study for a cousin, I can be kicked out with my old mother-in-law's temperament."
Han Mingxiu was relieved and said, "fortunately, you didn't lend it to her. It's right that you didn't lend it to her. As for Xiaoyan's character, she doesn't appreciate you even if you give her your heart. Moreover, you can't expect her to repay you for the money you lent her. No matter how well she will live in the future and how much money she has, she will never bring it back to you, and she can't admit it, really, That's what she is
Han Mingyu said, "I don't think that girl is very affordable, but it's not like what you said. I really don't have money. If I had money, I would lend her some. Didn't you see her cry? What a pity
When Han Mingxiu heard that the second elder sister pitied Han Mingyan, she turned her eyes and said, "second elder sister, do you know what a fool you are《 I've heard the story of "the farmer and the snake". It's not me, laixuan. Xiaoyan's temperament is definitely like a poisonous snake. If you save her, you can't be sure that she will bite you to death. It's not that I have prejudice against her, she's the kind of person in her heart! "
As soon as Han Mingyu saw Han Mingxiu's excited words, he quickly calmed down and said, "OK, OK, look at you. What a big thing. Why are you in a hurry? Didn't I borrow her? What are you mad at? "
Han Mingxiu said, "it's not that I'm so impatient, it's that I'm worried with you two. You're too easy to cheat. You'll be soft hearted when people squeeze two drops of cat urine. I can tell you that Xiaoyan is not a good thing. Stay away from her. Even if she comes to your house, you'd better not let her in, or you'll cry!"
"I know. Let's not talk about her. You look like you're blushing and your neck is thick. It's like you've been shot. How come you haven't seen her for a few days? How can your temper go up?" Han Mingyu opened the door of the Kang cabinet and took out a small basket of Japanese melon seeds to appease his sister's excitement.
Under the second sister's good words, Han Mingxiu finally calmed down. She ate a handful of Japanese melon seeds and talked to her for a while. After seeing that her mother-in-law's family was almost off work, she left her home.
The next stop, she went to Xinhua bookstore. Her book, biography of Chinese children, should have been published by now. She wanted to see if there were any in the bookstore. If there were, she would buy some. One for Huo Jianfeng, one for uncle Zhou, and one for manager Cui's children. In addition, she also kept some as a souvenir.
After all, it's her first work in the world, and it's worth collecting!
When I came to Xinhua Bookstore, I asked the salesman. Don't mention it, it's still new.
Han Mingxiu bought ten books at a time. At this time, books are really cheap. A book with two or three hundred thousand words only costs 50 cents. It's almost like a free one.
After buying his own books, Han Mingxiu went around Xinhua Bookstore and selected some suitable books for Zhou Shu to read. He also bought some popular books, such as how steel is made, the sun shines on Sanggan River, song of youth and so on. He saved time when he had nothing to do.
After buying the book, she went to Zhou's house.
At this point, the other street sweepers must not have come back, but Uncle Zhou must have come back. His legs are just right and he can't stand for a long time. Generally, he accompanies aunt Zhou to sweep for an hour or two, and aunt Zhou sends him back.
Uncle Zhou was at home when he came to the Zhou family.
Seeing Han Mingxiu, uncle Zhou said with a smile, "you've come just in time. It's just the fine grain of this month has come back. Your aunt also said that you'd like to catch some rice to eat at noon. It's a coincidence that you'll catch up. Now you have a good mouth!"
Han Mingxiu said with a smile, "that's OK, but don't wait for my aunt to come back. She swept the street all morning and was very tired. I'll do it. Anyway, I'm free."
She often comes to Zhou Xilong's home, and she is very familiar with both of them. She is not seen at all in Zhou's home. Zhou Xilong and his wife treat her like their daughter, and they are not seen at all. Seeing that she takes the initiative to cook, Zhou Xilong lets her go with a smile.
Han Mingxiu came to the kitchen, put down the basket and found the rice.
Zhou Shuer and Zhou auntie'er only divided four Jin of fine grain, two Jin of rice and two Jin of white flour in January. Because they only had this kind of fine grain, Zhou auntie'er paid special attention to it. They put two Jin of rice and two Jin of white flour in two small bags, tightly tied at the mouth of the bag, and put them in a basin under the kitchen shelf, with another basin upside down to cover the rice and white flour, It's like being afraid of being seen.
So many packages, enough to see the treasure of this food!
Looking at Aunt Zhou's cherishing of these grains, Han Mingxiu couldn't bear to eat rice. She decided not to stew rice, so she scooped half a bowl of rice and made some seafood porridge, which could also help them save some rice.
When she went to the capital for business in her last life, she ate seafood porridge in a famous seafood restaurant in the capital. She cooked the porridge under the bottom of the pot and put a curtain on it to steam the seafood. In the process of cooking, the steam will steam the delicious seafood into the porridge, making the porridge especially delicious.
However, uncle and aunt Zhou had to go out to work in the afternoon. She was afraid that she would not be hungry just for porridge and seafood, so she took out a few ears of green bracts, grilled them and steamed them with seafood.
Here, Han Mingxiu is working in the kitchen, and outside, Zhou Xilong is not idle. When Han Mingxiu goes to the kitchen to cook, he limps to the yard to collect a handful of tender green onions, a handful of cabbages and a handful of small stinky vegetables, and plans to eat pickles at noon.
For them, to eat a dry rice with green onions and cabbages is equivalent to improving the food. It's Han Mingxiu who comes here. He is willing to pull up such green onions and cabbages. Otherwise, he will not be willing to change himself. These green onions and cabbages will grow into green onions and cabbages in two months. If they grow up, they can eat a lot more!
There is a broken water tank in the yard. The edge of the tank is gone, and most of the tank remains standing there. On weekdays, uncle Zhou and aunt Zhou go here to draw water, and save it for watering the garden, washing vegetables or washing clothes.
After collecting vegetables, Zhou Shu took a gourd ladle and scooped out a ladle of water in the jar. He rushed at the shallot and poured the water on the garden.
After washing the dishes, Han Mingxiu was taking things out of the basket.
She took out a net of big red apples, half a sandy watermelon, a bag of mushrooms, a bundle of herbs and more than ten ears of tender green rice!
"Xiu, where is this apple from?"
Seeing the big and red apples, Zhou Xilong was stunned. At first glance, the apples were not produced locally. In this age of material scarcity, apples are in hot demand. She is a little girl in the countryside. Where can she make such a good apple?
Han Mingxiu said with a smile, "it's more than apples. I brought big crabs with me today. They are steaming in the pot!"
"Crab?"
Uncle Zhou was even more surprised, "where did you get the crab?"
Han Mingxiu said without changing his face, "my friend in arms brought it to me, and so did the apples. He brought them to me. I can't get used to the taste of crabs. It's a pity to throw them away, so I'll give them to you!"
On hearing this, Zhou Xilong even said, "you can't throw this thing away, silly boy. Uncle tells you, this crab is a good thing. It's more delicious than meat and more expensive than meat."
Han Mingxiu said, "I don't think it's delicious. It's not fragrant at all. If you think it's delicious, I'll bring it back to you later."
Uncle Zhou said, "that's not necessary. If you don't like to eat, don't let your partner harm your share of money. If you don't spend the old money, you'll be blind to your partner's heart. Uncle, it's good to borrow your light to eat Lala gluttonous food."
Han Mingxiu said, "is it expensive? I heard from my partner that his comrade in arms works on the railway and runs on Dandong line. Dandong is close to the sea, and the seafood there is not expensive at all. Apples are bought there, and they are not expensive either. "
Zhou Xilong said with a smile, "if it's not expensive, uncle can't afford it. No matter how cheap it is, it's seafood and fruit. How cheap can it be?"
Han Mingxiu had no choice but to move out what she said at Aunt Su's house in the morning and repeat, "then I'll provide you with some food, and return it to me when you have money..."
Han Mingxiu said hastily, "did you borrow her?"
Han Mingyu said with a smile, "what can I borrow? I don't go to work any more. I have to spend money on my own. I want one from my old mother-in-law. If I ask my old mother-in-law for money to study for a cousin, I can be kicked out with my old mother-in-law's temperament."
