Chapter 96 The conversation between aunt and Sister Zheng

After returning home, Tang Xin told her mother that she wanted to make some preserved fruits. Taking advantage of the good weather, it would be best to make more and then send some to her grandmother and grandma.

Of course, Father Tang and Mother Tang, who are spoiled with children, would not object to this idea. Our children are being filial and thinking about our grandparents. How great.

"I just need more fruits." Tang Xin was a little worried. Although fruits don't require coupons now, where can they buy so much?

"You kid, if you think so much, you won't grow taller." Tang's mother gave Tang Xin a piece of meat with chopsticks. "Have you forgotten what Chen Xi's mother said? If you have anything to do with her, please contact her."

"But, I bought too much, and I also want to make some other fruits."

"You don't know what Chen Xi's mother does, do you?" Tang's mother smiled.

"I don't know. I only know that Chen Xi said that her grandfather's family grew fruit trees." Tang Xin shook her head honestly.

"This child, too, is too young to understand this. How do you think Chen Xi can go to our elementary school for children of Hua University?" Dad Tang asked.

"That's right, Chen Xi's parents are not teachers at our BGI." Tang Xin just remembered and forgiven her for not knowing much about Zidi Elementary School. She forgot about the current social environment. Zidi Elementary School is indeed for the children of employees. Others Children generally go to primary schools in the community.

"That's because Chen Xi's grandfather was the retired vice president of the University of Washington. He returned to his hometown to plant fruit trees after his retirement. Her eldest uncle stayed in the country for some special reasons at the time, and her younger uncle was also at our University of Washington. Teacher." Dad Tang explained.

"Oh, does this have anything to do with what Chen Xi's mother is doing?" My brother asked from the side.

"You kid, didn't Sugar Baby happen to say this just now? Didn't you even understand what I was saying?" Tang's father said to his son.

Brother shrugged and didn't care, and continued to look at Tang's mother.

"Chen Xi's mother works in the city planning committee and is in charge of food." Tang's mother explained.

"Oh, no wonder, Chen Xi said that if we want to buy something but can't buy it, we should go to her mother. Auntie also asked me to tell you that if anything happens, we should go to her to find a solution." Tang Xin suddenly realized that she is in charge of this aspect, so that's fine No, we don’t need auntie to violate discipline. We just help buy more fruits. Anyway, the supply is not limited yet.

"Yes, your Aunt Wu also told me today that we have everything at home now and there is nothing to trouble her about, but I still have to thank her for her kindness." Tang Ma said.

Well, I can't see it now. You will know about Aunt Wu when the coupon policy is fully implemented. Tang Xin only dares to think about it in her heart, but she doesn't dare to say it out. But it is true that after a while, Chen Xi’s mother will really have to be troubled, and her family will have to think of ways to repay her.

The last few people agreed to give each family three kilograms of preserved fruit. Grandpa and grandma's family, grandma and grandpa's family, Chen Xi's family, Jiang Wenbai's family, and their own family should always leave more. Calculating based on the amount of eight kilograms of fruit to produce one kilogram of preserved fruit, it would take about 120 pounds of peaches are in season now. Peaches on the market cost about 3-4 cents per pound, and apples cost about 2-3 cents per pound.

Dad Tang simply waved his hand and calculated it as 150 kilograms, buying a total of 300 kilograms.

"Wow, that's a lot. How much does three hundred kilograms of fruit cost? How much does it cost?" Brother Zhanbo was speechless.

"Well, if we calculate it based on 4 cents a pound, the total cost is 12 yuan, which is not much. Do we need to buy some more candy?" Tang's mother did the calculation. Indeed, for her and Tang's father's income, There's really not much to say.

"Then let's buy more white sugar and rock sugar, and yes, there's also salt and oil." Tang Xin thought for a while. Anyway, he only spoke once, so he prepared more in advance, so that he could use it at home in the future. s things.

"Anyway, sugar, salt, etc. won't go bad if left alone." Tang Xin added.

"I know that sugar is needed to make preserved fruits, and salt is barely acceptable, but why is oil needed?" My brother asked curiously.

"You don't care so much. Anyway, if my sister says it can be used, I can use it. Even if I don't use it, can't I still use it for cooking at home?" Father Tang couldn't help but hit his son on the head again.

"Okay, it's just a conversation anyway. I'll talk to Sister Wu tomorrow." Tang Ma happily agreed.

"Yes, as Tangbao said, these things are for daily use at home. If you buy too much, just put it away. It won't break anyway." Auntie actually agreed with Tang Xin's idea and agreed.

"That's best. Buy more oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and so on. You can use it at home. It's just an opening, hehe." My brother muttered to the side.

"A little of those is enough, how much more do you want to eat?" Tang's father retorted.

"That's right." The elder brother thought about it. Anyway, what his sister said was right, and it sounded correct.

Tang Xin quickly grabbed a piece of meat for her brother. It was really great to have such a family that trusted her unconditionally.

Everyone went to bed at night, but the light in my aunt's room was still on. After Sister Zheng helped her aunt make the bed, she couldn't hold it back and asked anyway.

"Old lady, why did you agree to let Sugar Baby buy so many things during dinner today? Although they are all daily necessities, why buy so many at once? It also costs a lot of money."

"Don't worry about it. This little money is nothing to the couple. Besides, don't I still have it here? It's not like you don't know." Auntie comforted Sister Zheng.

"You know, that's not what I'm talking about. It's just that the young lady and the uncle dote on the sugar baby a little too much. Look at how much food they have bought home in the past two years. Although they didn't tell me, I saw it all. , I just don’t say it, I occasionally hear the lady mention it, it’s the sugar baby’s suggestion.” Sister Zheng has really been holding back for a long time.

"Xiao Zheng, you have been with me for more than 20 years, right?" my aunt suddenly asked.

"It has been twenty-six years, and I am already forty-six years old this year." Sister Zheng couldn't help but sigh, if it weren't for the old lady, she would have been a lonely ghost by now.

"Yeah, it's been twenty-six years, it's so fast." My aunt also sighed with emotion. In the blink of an eye, she was 62 years old. She was old.

"I have long regarded you as my own family. I have something to say to you today, and I hope you can keep it in your heart forever." Auntie grabbed Sister Zheng's hand and said to her solemnly.

"You said, I swear in the name of my husband that what you said today will be rotten in my stomach." Sister Zheng saw her aunt's solemnity and solemnly assured her. The only two people in her life who had given her warmth were her unlucky husband and her aunt. Now that she was swearing in the name of her husband, that was very solemn.

"Okay." Auntie patted Sister Zheng's hand, forgiving her for asking Sister Zheng to take this oath, but her next words must not be known to anyone, as it is related to the safety of the child. Moreover, this matter was a bit unbelievable, and she was even more afraid of bringing danger to the child.

"I have been here for 5 years. It can be said that I spend more time with my sugar baby than she spends with her parents. I found that this child seems to have some precognitive abilities that are different from ordinary people. Many things she says usually come later. It has been fulfilled. You said that stocking up on food was not necessary at the beginning, but now looking at the situation, food is becoming more and more difficult to buy. You also know that buying food requires food stamps and food books, and it is also rationed. Supply, each family is provided based on population. To be honest, our family does not have much food, but what about other families? Look at the neighbors, which family does not tighten their belts and live a life? Especially those who are half-grown in the family, Not one of them can have enough to eat.”

Sister Zheng nodded thoughtfully.

"Because you know that we still have a lot of food in stock, our family is confident, we are not panicking at all, and we have never thought about this problem. And is all this because of the reminder from Sugar Baby? There are other things that I can't do now. Let me tell you, I figured it all out. Just think about the Zhengde couple. They are both university professors and have studied abroad. With their knowledge and experience, how can they be stupid and do whatever children say? Parents? Doesn’t the fact that they accept their sugar baby’s advice and never contradict it speak volumes about their point of view?”

"So, I often tell you that you should think more about things when you encounter them, but you are unwilling to use your brain. But fortunately, your advantage is that you don't talk much and you can listen to advice." Auntie patted her again. Patting Sister Zheng, Sister Zheng smiled at her.

"Since you don't want to use your brain, I won't advise you anymore. Anyway, in the future, if the Zhengde couple follows you, you won't suffer. In the future, just remember to listen to the Zhengde couple more. If you don't understand something, just ask No." Auntie made the decision directly for Sister Zheng.

"Hey, I listen to you." Although Sister Zheng is not well-educated and doesn't want to think about things, she also knows that if the sugar baby really has that ability to predict, it must be kept secret and cannot be revealed. Anyone knows. What if a child as cute as a sugar baby is treated as a monster and caught? Although in her opinion, if a sugar baby has this ability, he is a god, a little fairy. But now society is full of anti-feudal superstitions and evil spirits.

Sister Zheng also secretly swore in her heart that she must protect the little sugar baby. Such a well-behaved child must not be in any danger.

Tang Xin didn't know any of this. If she knew that her aunt had discovered her condition a long time ago, wouldn't she be frightened? She was sleeping soundly at the moment.
