When she woke up again, it was already bright outside. Chen Lishu grabbed her pajamas and put them on. After opening the curtains, she went outside to warm up the meal she had eaten yesterday.
Unexpectedly, when it was given to the 'big king', after taking one look at it, he turned around with a look of disgust on his face, twisted his round and fat buttocks, and went back to his nest in anger.
"Okay, just be patient for now. I'll go to the city tomorrow to see if there's any fish sellers to buy you some."
When King Cat heard the word "little fish", his pointed ears moved twice unconsciously.
After dinner, Chen Lishu began to sew the cotton lining. Lin Xiaoyue came over at noon, and the two of them chatted and worked until the men came back from get off work. Chen Lishu finally sewed a single mattress, and Lin Xiaoyue also Went home to cook.
After sending Lin Xiaoyue away, Chen Lishu packed up her things and started cooking.
The next day, as soon as Gu Xingdong left, the cat king started scratching at the door. The sound of his teeth made it difficult for her to fall asleep again, so she could only get up and get dressed.
"I really owed you both in my previous life. One of them couldn't feed me enough, and the other was a greedy cat." Chen Lishu shook her head helplessly and started to prepare breakfast.
One person and one cat had breakfast, and after Chen Lishu dressed, she left the house.
"Eat, eat, eat, you're like a starving ghost all day long. No matter how much my son earns, you can eat like this! Being pregnant is like holding a golden egg and doing nothing all day long. What evil has our old Wei family done?"
You are such a plagued thing."
Wang Yufen listened to her mother-in-law's curse, stopped the chopsticks in her hand, and looked aggrieved as if she wanted to cry.
"Who are you showing me for doing this? File a lawsuit with Gangzi behind my back. You can do it. There are still a lot of clothes that have not been washed. Go wash them quickly. You have only been in the city for two and a half days and you really think you are a city citizen."
?Do you have that fate?"
Wang Yufen did not dare to answer, so she had to stand up while biting her lips. When she saw Chen Lishu coming out of the building opposite, her eyes flashed unconsciously.
"Mom, I'll go downstairs to pick up the clothes to dry."
Although the temperature is low in winter and the clothes will be frozen and hard when worn outside, they will still dry out as long as they are exposed to the sun for two more days.
Mrs. Wei drooped her eyelids and snorted, carrying the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen.
Chen Lishu had already walked out quite far when she suddenly heard someone calling her from behind. When she looked back, it turned out to be Wang Yufen.
"Sister-in-law, is there something wrong?"
Wang Yufen stepped forward, holding her invisible belly, took out fifty cents from her pocket, and said cautiously: "Sister-in-law, are you going to the city? Can you help me bring two kilograms of peach cakes?"
Chen Lishu raised her eyebrows when she heard what she said. Her eyes fell on the fifty cents in her hand and she smiled: "I'm afraid my sister-in-law doesn't always go to the city. The peach cakes are seventy cents per catty, and I also need sixty taels of food stamps."
Wang Yufen pulled off her clothes in embarrassment: "My mother-in-law is so strict that she doesn't even give me enough to eat. She has all the money and tickets. I don't have that much money in my hand."
If you don't have money, you can just say it without even saying what it means? The smile on Chen Lishu's face faded a little: "After all, you are still pregnant with the child. You should tell Brother Wei about this."
Her money and food stamps were not brought by the strong wind, but were earned by Gu Xingdong's hard work.
Wang Yufen moved her lips and said reluctantly: "Brother and sister, why don't you bring me fifty cents? I'll lend you the food stamps you paid in advance."
"Okay." Chen Lishu nodded.
After all, they all lived in the same courtyard, and she had already said so. Chen Lishu took the fifty cents from her hand and turned to leave.
Taking the bus all the way to the city, Cat King was lucky. When she arrived at the grocery store, there happened to be a palm-sized fish left. Thinking it was better than nothing, Chen Lishu bought it, and then bought a piece of frozen tofu.
At this time, tofu has to be supplied by ticket. Each person in the city can only buy two yuan per month by ticket. Fortunately, Gu Xingdong is in the army, so he doesn't have to worry about these tickets.
There was meat at home, so Chen Lishu didn't buy any more. But there were no vegetables in winter, so she thought she could grow some garlic sprouts, bean sprouts, etc., so she went to buy some soybeans and garlic.
After buying what she wanted to buy, Chen Lishu went to the food counter and bought Wang Yufen a peach cake worth 50 cents, and she helped pay four taels of food stamps in advance.
After buying everything, Chen Lishu took the car directly back to the army.
Wang Yufen had been paying attention to Chen Lishu's movements. As soon as she saw her figure, she immediately found an excuse to go out.
When he saw the fish and vegetables in her hands, the jealousy in her eyes flashed away.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Smiling and taking the peach cakes from Chen Lishu's hand, Wang Yufen couldn't wait to leave. She stood at the door of the unit and found a leeward place and ate all four or five pieces of peach cakes in one go. She choked and slapped her chest.
After separating from Wang Yufen, Chen Lishu went straight home. As soon as she opened the door, the 'big king' couldn't wait to greet her. When she smelled the fishy smell, she meowed excitedly and circled around Chen Lishu's feet.
Chen Lishu cleaned the fish first, then steamed it. After taking it out of the pot, she took off half of it and put it into the 'King' bowl, and put away the rest for now.
Seeing that it was almost noon, Chen Lishu simply made herself something to eat, and then soaked the garlic and soybeans she bought in water.
After searching around, there was nothing suitable for growing garlic seedlings. In the end, I had to dig out a water basin at home and use it to collect soil in the yard.
After getting everything done, Chen Lishu continued to make the unfinished quilt in the afternoon, neatly wrapped it in furoshiki and put it in the cabinet.
Because the weather was too cold, she didn't go anywhere for the next two days. Apart from playing with the cat at home, she spent the rest of the time knitting woolen pants for Gu Xingdong.
She has been busy every day since she was reborn, and she felt a little uncomfortable when she suddenly calmed down. But all the money in her hand was invested in that batch of clothes, and she couldn't do anything without money.
Looking at the almanac hanging on the wall, I thought that Lin Qi must have received the items by now. I don't know how he sold them. It was really inconvenient not to have a phone.
Lin Qi had indeed received the items. Not only did he receive the items, but he also sold out all the clothes in just two days.
The story had to start a day ago. After Lin Qi got the clothes, he was going to go directly to the employee family area to stay. Who knew that before he got there, he saw two people who were selling things privately and were caught by red armbands.
After the grain distribution at the end of the year, people in Xiatou village wanted to go to the city to exchange for something, and there began to be more red armbands in the city.
Lin Qi thought about it and just went home with his things. He couldn't defend the city. If he was caught, his things would be confiscated. He couldn't afford the gamble. To be on the safe side, he decided to do the opposite and take some clothes to go around.
The wealthier ones peddle in large numbers.
The village is relatively safe, and people have more money in their hands after the settlement was completed a year ago, so their desire to buy things is definitely higher.
