Chapter 101

After eating, Han Mingxiu saw that the time was almost up, so he got up to leave and went to Uncle Gao's house.

At this point, Uncle Gao and Aunt Gao had already finished their lunch break and were about to go out to sweep the streets.

Knowing that they were in a hurry to work, Han Mingxiu didn't delay much. He handed them the corn cobs and two pairs of shoes that he brought, and put the clothes that Aunt Gao had made for him in the back basket, and hurriedly said goodbye. .

Later, she went to the grocery store and bought ten catties of meat, including two catties of pork ribs and three catties of pork belly. When she saw a beef seller, she bought five catties of beef tendon and prepared to go home and make some sauce. Beef to eat.

In these days, every family is in difficulty. Everyone buys meat with a pound. Han Mingxiu bought ten pounds at once. Such a big deal will inevitably attract people's attention.

At the other end of the grocery store, a short and ugly man in his fifties also noticed Han Mingxiu. He stared at Han Mingxiu and poked the woman beside him, saying, Hey, look, Is that girl your niece?

Han Lijuan is standing in front of a meat stall picking meat. Today is her own son's twelfth birthday. She promised him that he would make dumplings for him, so she gritted her teeth and took out a dollar to buy a piece of meat. .

However, she was not familiar with the salesperson of the non-staple food store. She was afraid that they would not sell her fatty meat, so she invited her husband, who is a chef in the government canteen, to buy it together. Her husband often came out to the government because of his work. When buying meat in the cafeteria, I am familiar with these salespersons, and the acquaintances are easy to talk to, so the couple came together.

At this time, Han Lijuan was concentrating on picking meat. When she heard her man say this, she turned her head and saw Han Mingxiu who was buying beef in front of a meat stall in the distance.

Han Lijuan has been married to the city for more than ten years. During this period, she has only returned to her parents' home three times, and she has not spoken a few words to Han Mingxiu, her niece, so she does not know her very well.

It's just that Han Mingxiu and Han Mingyu look a lot like Han Mingyu, and even their voices are similar. Based on this, she also thinks that the girl in front of her is probably her niece.

But isn't her niece in the countryside? How did you come to the city? Also bought the older meat all at once? Where did she get the money from?

Han Lijuan stared at Han Mingxiu. Seeing that she bought five kilograms of beef tendon at once, her eyes suddenly burst into flames. She doesn't care whether she is her niece or not. Try it first, otherwise there will be no such shop in this village. son.

She put down the big piece of fat she was picking, walked a few steps to Han Mingxiu's side, and called out tentatively, Show!

Han Mingxiu had already bought the meat and was putting it in the back basket. When she heard someone call her, she turned her head and saw a woman in her thirties looking at her uncertainly.

Han Mingxiu searched her memory and found this person in a vague way. It turned out to be her old aunt.

Han Mingxiu didn't have a good impression of this aunt. This aunt was the same as her grandmother. She was selfish, greedy and mean. After marrying into the city, she was afraid of being smeared by her parents' family. She didn't come back after her parents died. In vain, when she got married, Han Mingxiu's parents gave her five bucks to save her money.

For such an aunt, Han Mingxiu really has no interest in meeting her. She dares to say that if an old aunt came to talk to her today, she must have seen her buying the meat. She had to pretend she didn't recognize it.

It's just that now everyone is standing in front of her to greet her, and she has to respond.

Hehe, auntie, what a coincidence, you also buy meat! She said with a smile on her face.

Yeah, what a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet you here. Why do you buy so much meat at once? Can you eat it alone?

As Han Lijuan asked, she watched Han Mingxiu put the large piece of beef into the basket with her bright eyes.

She looked really bright. In addition to the big piece of beef that she just bought, there was also a big piece of pork belly and a lot of spare ribs in this girl's back basket. How much did these old things cost? Isn't she the only one left in her family? Where did she get the money and the meat tickets to buy meat?

Han Mingxiu covered the basket and said, I didn't buy it myself. I went into the city to do some errands and helped others carry it.

That is to say, this meat is not her own, and telling her to stop thinking about it is useless.

However, the meat was delivered to the door, how could Han Lijuan not care about it? She doesn't care who's meat is in her niece's back basket, as long as she has a chance to coax her, it's hers.

Really, that's just right, the old aunt also buys meat. Don't rush back later, go to the old aunt's house to eat dumplings with the old aunt. Han Lijuan took Han Mingxiu's hand, a look of intimacy and warmth I don't know, I thought how much her aunt loves this niece.

Han Mingxiu is not a real 16-year-old girl, how could she be confused by Han Lijuan's rhetoric? She has a clear mind. If she goes with her, she will have to go with her if she doesn't have all the meat in the back basket. If she has a hole in her head, she will go with her.

No, auntie, I still have something to do, next time. Han Mingxiu drew back her hand and said lukewarmly.

Seeing that she didn't agree, Han Lijuan became anxious. She moved out of her identity as an elder, and said angrily, Look at your child, why are you so out of touch? You've already arrived at the door of the old aunt's house, so why don't you go to the aunt's house for a meal? What's the matter? Do you think the food at the old aunt's house is not delicious, or do you look down on your old aunt?

Han Mingxiu almost burst out laughing when she looked at her like an elder. You said that you wanted to show the pedigree of an elder, but you should act like an elder first, a relative who hasn't communicated with each other for more than ten years. , I want to show the profile of my elders when I meet, why is this face so big?

However, thinking that one more thing is worse than one less thing, Han Mingxiu didn't tear her face off, she said with a smile, Auntie, you're too careless, I either don't want to go, or there are still a lot of things to buy, no Go for it, or else, wait for me to buy it and then go to your house.

As soon as Han Lijuan heard that she was going to buy something, her eyes suddenly lit up again, she twitched the corners of her mouth, and the expression on her face became more loving, What else do you want to buy? Otherwise, Gu will accompany you to buy, look at your child. Every family is more confusing.

I don't need old aunt, I can do it myself. Han Mingxiu wouldn't let her follow him. If she were to keep an eye on her, it wouldn't be as hard as a leech.

Afraid of not being able to get rid of her, Han Mingxiu had to tell a little lie, Auntie, don't you say you have to go back to make dumplings? Why don't you go back and make dumplings first, and then go to your house to eat when I'm done buying them, Save time, otherwise I won't be able to catch the bus back.

That's fine, I'll buy the meat now, I'll go back to pack, you must go...

Seeing that she had promised to go to her house, Han Lijuan was so happy that her teeth were exposed, so she quickly told her the detailed address of her house, fearing that she would forget it, she borrowed paper and a pen from the salesman and gave her the address of her house in detail. I wrote it to Han Mingxiu before letting her go.
