Old Mrs. Xiao has never been so happy for a meal as she is today.
She followed what the foreman said and kept busy in the supermarket. At seven o'clock in the evening, she finally received the meal coupon she had been thinking about.
Although she had eaten a hearty meal at noon, Mrs. Xiao was still like a hungry dog that had been locked up for three days in the cafeteria. She ate until she couldn't stand up.
She couldn't eat anymore, so she rested on the spot in the cafeteria for half an hour, then she stood up reluctantly with her hands on the dining table.
After eating and drinking enough, I feel energetic.
Mrs. Xiao wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, touched her belly with the palm of her hand, and sighed with satisfaction: "I didn't expect that eating would taste so delicious after all this labor! I really had enough to eat today!"
Immediately, the old lady looked at the time and found that it was already past eight o'clock, so she planned to go home quickly.
Although she has always been selfish, after experiencing all kinds of hardships during this period, she began to care more about her children and grandchildren.
Thinking that her son and grandson were still lying in bed, waiting to be fed, Mrs. Xiao hurriedly came to the canteen window and asked the staff member who was getting off work: "Excuse me, do we still need rice for these leftover vegetables and leftover steamed buns?"
The other party looked at her and said helplessly: "No, old lady, you ate food for three people by yourself and you're still not full?"
Mrs. Xiao wiped her mouth sheepishly and said with an apologetic smile: "Hey, I'm full, but the children at home are still hungry. You don't know. They haven't eaten for almost two days and two nights."
The other party asked in surprise: "Really or not? In what era are there still people who don't have enough to eat?"
Mrs. Xiao's face was burning for a while, and she said awkwardly: "Hey, you don't know, something happened in my family during this time. The eldest daughter-in-law at home has breast cancer. She was found to be in the late stage. Now she is
The ball is almost dead, and my eldest son spent all the family’s money to treat her..."
Saying this, Mrs. Xiao suddenly felt very happy.
It’s really cool!
She had long disliked Qian Hongyan. If Wu Donghai hadn't stopped her, the old lady would have beaten Qian Hongyan half to death.
Especially recently, Qian Hongyan had disobeyed her in various ways and even forced her to work. She had long hated Qian Hongyan deeply in her heart.
Therefore, fabricating the rumor that Qian Hongyan was dying of breast cancer in front of others gave her a sense of revenge.
When the cafeteria staff heard this, they immediately exclaimed: "Ah? Late-stage breast cancer, that's too tragic..."
"That's not all!" Old Mrs. Xiao sighed: "Hey...my eldest daughter-in-law has terminal breast cancer, and my second daughter-in-law is even worse!"
The staff member hurriedly asked: "Old lady, what's wrong with your second daughter-in-law?"
Mrs. Xiao said with regret: "The second daughter-in-law originally had uremia and relied on dialysis all day long to survive. However, on the way to the hospital for dialysis some time ago, she was hit by a car again and her legs were amputated from the buttocks down..."
The staff were all frightened: "Is this... so tragic?"
Mrs. Xiao said with a straight face: "What is this? Worse things are yet to come!"
The staff asked: "What could be worse?"
Mrs. Xiao said with emotion: "My second daughter-in-law had to go to the hospital for dialysis after losing her leg. It was already miserable enough, but she suffered a stroke again. Now she is twitching and twitching all day long.
It’s like Zhao Si’er in “Country Love”, and his condition is more serious than Zhao Si’er!”
When talking about Ma Lan, Mrs. Xiao felt even more resentful.
She wished that Ma Lan was really as miserable as she had arranged! She even hoped that she would be as miserable as possible!
However, the staff did not know that she was just talking nonsense.
The staff felt that normal people would have no time to curse their own family members out of nothing. So what the old lady said must be the truth.
So she said with great sympathy: "No wonder you still go out to work at such an old age. Things like this happen to your family one after another. It's really not easy for you!"
With that said, she said: "Old lady, we have seven or eight steamed buns left, almost four portions of rice, and some leftovers. Do you have a lunch box? I will pack some for you and take it back!"
Mrs. Xiao was very excited, but she still suppressed her ecstasy and said with a melancholy look on her face: "How can I have a lunch box... Our two daughters-in-law are dying, and I can't afford that thing..."
As she said that, the old lady took out the plastic bag hanging on the counter and blurted out: "How about this, big sister, you can put all those leftovers in plastic bags for me, and I can take them home."
!”
The staff member nodded hurriedly and said, "I have no problem with it, as long as you don't dislike it!"
Mrs. Xiao hurriedly said: "I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it!"
Soon, the staff took out all the leftovers for Mrs. Xiao and put them in four large plastic bags.
Mrs. Xiao regretted it as soon as she got started, thinking: "There are so many leftovers, it's too damn heavy! How can I carry them back?"
But then I thought: "No, I have to carry everything back. With this food, the family can last for at least two days. Otherwise, what can I do with the one hundred yuan I earned today?"
Thinking of this, she could only say thank you while gritting her teeth and carrying four big bags of food home.
On the way back, Mrs. Xiao was reluctant to take a taxi.
You can get a lot of money by taking a taxi home from here. Half of the 100 yuan you earned after working hard all day will be lost by taking a taxi.
After much deliberation, it is still more cost-effective to take the bus.
So, she went to a roadside store and bought two ham sausages, thinking that they could be used to replenish the health of Xiao Changqian and Xiao Hailong, and that she could also get some change to take the bus.
On the bus, other elderly people swiped their senior citizen cards to ride for free, but Mrs. Xiao didn't have one, so she could only put a dollar in the coin box.
In fact, she has known for a long time that when the elderly with local household registration reach the age of 65 or above, they can go to the civil affairs department to apply for a senior citizen card that allows them to take buses for free.
However, the old Mrs. Xiao never took the bus when she went out. She always had a full-time driver and a special car to pick her up and drop off. At that time, how could she see the senior citizen card for free bus rides?
For her at that time, even applying for this card was a loss of face, let alone using it.
But now she was regretting it, and at the same time she was muttering in her heart: "It seems that after the New Year is over and people go to work, I will quickly apply for the senior citizen card. That way, at least taking the bus will be free, and I can save a few dollars a day.
You can save a lot in one month!”
Carrying several large bags of food, Mrs. Xiao finally returned to Tomson Yipin Villa.
Walking into the entrance of Tomson Yipin, when she was about to use the turnstile, a well-dressed middle-aged woman pinched her nose and shouted at her: "Where is this old woman from? Are you walking here with your swill? Do you know what this is?"
A place? This is a first-class Tomson! You will never be able to afford a house here in your lifetime!"
Mrs. Xiao was vomiting blood from exhaustion. When she saw a woman popping out of nowhere and yelling at her, she immediately cursed: "Fuck you! Do you know where I live? I live in Villa A04!"
Look at your bird-like appearance, you are as fancy as a pheasant, I think you can only live in an outer flat floor at most!"
As soon as the woman heard this, she rushed over in anger, slapped Mrs. Xiao in the face, and cursed: "Damn old woman, my apartment costs more than 20 million yuan, how dare you fucking laugh at me?
You're such a poor person, and you dare to say that you live in a villa, you fucking deserve it?!"
