Siheyuan: Chen Xueru helped me intercept Hu Qin Huairu

"I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, tomorrow will be the 15th day, and our family is not prepared for the Lantern Festival."

"Then Zhaodi, do you want to go to the store with me? Let's buy some Lantern Festival?"

Qin Zhaodi's eyes lit up when she heard this and she nodded quickly.

Life in this city is good, but a bit boring. Apart from gossiping with this wife and that aunt, the only things left to me to do every day seem to be cooking, washing clothes and studying.

"That's good, brother, let's go then."

This was Qin Zhaodi's first time visiting a grocery store.

The shops at this time were all privately owned and sold mostly firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, tobacco, alcohol, and beverages.

It's rare that you sell anything like a public-private partnership.

After the public-private partnership, it was renamed a supply and marketing cooperative, and they sold everything, sometimes even televisions and bicycles.

But they are all leftovers from department stores, so if you want to buy good things in the future, you have to go to department stores.

Of course, the ones in department stores are not the best. The best ones are at Friendship Stores, and they won’t let you in without a foreign exchange coupon.

Foreign exchange coupons are exchanged for foreign currency. If you are lucky, you can even buy a copybook of Wang Xizhi for a few yuan.

Of course, friendship stores and department stores had not yet appeared in these years.

Perhaps because the store had too few varieties, Qin Zhaodi lost interest after taking a few glances.

After all, most of the food in this store is food. I eat a lot of delicious food at home, so I really don’t like what is sold in the store.

After buying ten kilograms of black sesame glutinous rice balls for fifty cents, Li Xiuzhu had to lament again how cheap things are at this time.

Of course, the expensive ones are really expensive. For example, penicillin, which cannot be produced independently, costs five hundred yuan a box even if the war stops.

Before the war ceased, it was as high as a thousand.

However, now that a mutual aid agreement has been signed with Big Brother, this situation will soon be alleviated.

Not to mention independent research and development, but at least there will be no shortage.

"Want something?"

Qin Zhaodi's eyes were high. Hearing this, he shook his head and said, "There's nothing I want. I feel like everything at home is better than what's here."

"I used to think that there were all kinds of shops in the city, but I didn't expect that there were so few things."

Hearing this, the boss rolled his eyes. Seeing that Li Xiuzhu was also impressed, he immediately said: "Xiao Li, take good care of your wife. If you talk like this, I'm afraid you won't get beaten."

Li Xiuzhu smiled.

"I'm from the countryside. Don't mind, brother, and give me a big front door."

Upon hearing this, the boss immediately smiled.

"Okay, it's three and eight dollars in total. Do you want to give you two more candy bars worth two cents to make four dollars?"

Li Xiuzhu thought for a moment and nodded. He really ignored this and didn't give out wedding candies to everyone.

It's not appropriate to make up for it at this time, so let's just treat it as a Lantern Festival welfare, and give two yuan to a family of children.

Because they are hard candies, they are much cheaper than white rabbits. I only got two handfuls for 20 cents.

Li Xiuzhu and Li Xiuzhu took their things and went back. Passing by the middle courtyard, Li Xiuzhu asked Qin Zhaodi to take the things back first. Seeing that Lao He had already started cooking and no one was paying attention, Li Xiuzhu walked over.

"Lao He, do you still decide to leave?"

He Daqing quickly glanced around and then nodded.

"Okay, then I won't say anything. After cooking for these five days, brother and sister Silly Zhu, please remember to make arrangements."

Li Xiuzhu did not stop He Daqing, which was immoral.

As for the Shazhu brothers and sisters, let’s help them a little bit in the future.

Of course, if the boy dares to be stupid, he will let the brat know what uncle's love is.

Li Xiuzhu asked the person and left without paying much attention.

Chen Xueru came back yawning before nightfall. It was obvious that she was a little tired from yesterday's trip to the park with three people.

On the other side, Jiang Meiying also got up. After washing, she was eating. The meal was just prepared by Xiao He. While Jiang Meiying was eating, she was changing the sheets.

When Xiao He was changing the sheets, she asked curiously: "Sister Mei Ying, is it painful or comfortable to do that?"

Jiang Meiying was paused when she heard the words, and looked at the little girl with a blush and question mark on her face and asked: "Why do you ask this suddenly? Why didn't you ask your sister Xueru?"

Hearing this, Xiao He made a naughty smile and said, "I don't dare to ask Sister Xueru. Sister Xueru is very strict with us. She only smiles so gently to you and Brother Li."

Is it? Jiang Meiying smiled when she heard this.

Sure enough, Xueru is very good to me.

Her gentle smile seemed to be contagious, making the wind in the room feel gentler.

Although Jiang Meiying was a little embarrassed and shy, she still answered Xiaohe's question.

"It might hurt a little at first, but then it'll be fine."

Xiaohe nodded understandingly and said to himself: "No wonder every time I hear it, it sounds like a miserable yet comfortable voice. Is that so?"

Jiang Meiying's face turned redder, but she didn't explain any more and hurriedly ate the food in front of her. It was so embarrassing.

Today is the 14th, and the banquet in the evening was also very sumptuous. Everyone said auspicious words to Li Xiuzhu.

The Zhao family's daughter-in-law suddenly asked: "Li Xiuzhu, you are organizing a replacement banquet, why are your brides not here?"

When Chen Xueru heard this, she paused while eating the food, but soon picked up the food again.

She was honest, she had explained it to her man last night, and he would definitely be able to make things right for her.

Li Xiuzhu said with a smile: "Isn't it because the family can no longer accommodate so many people, so Xueru bought a house outside."

"They live over there, but they won't come here. I'll keep an eye on both sides."

Everyone was startled when they heard this. They didn't expect that Li Xiuzhu bought another house outside, but it was normal. The house in the backyard could not be added as it would affect the traffic.

At this time, Mrs. Jia Zhang suddenly said: "Li Xiuzhu, we don't care if you buy a house outside, but if there is another wedding, it will have to be done in the yard."

A banquet costing thirty cents a meal must be delicious, and it is best to last for decades.

It is rare for Mr. Jia and Zhang to have something unanimously recognized by everyone.

"What Jia Zhang said makes sense. No matter what happens outside, we can't forget what's in our yard."

Li Xiuzhu smiled and said, "Okay, I won't forget you."

"Don't worry, it's a private courtyard over there. It won't be lively without neighbors, and you won't be able to bear witness. We still have to hold the banquet here."

But Li Xiuzhu said this just casually.

Are you going to hold a banquet in the future? I'm afraid I won't have this chance.

Regardless of whether Lao He ran away or not, it would be difficult for him to marry again.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but the word "Independent Courtyard" still made people aware of Chen Xueru's financial resources.

Early the next morning, it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. No one was home during the day, and even Jiang Meiying went to Chen Xueru's mother's house.

However, when Li Xiuzhu arrived at the silk store, he made some phone calls first.

There was no telephone at home, only the silk store had one, so he had to come to the silk store to call his uncles and say hello.

Jiang Meiying was about to be picked up, so he came to pick her up.

When Chen Wang saw Jiang Meiying, her expression was a little complicated.

This is her sister, only two or three years younger than her, so why...
