60s: Petite Wife

Forty-Two Back Street Market

Ma Xinghua refused to obey: "One bun is too few, two are about the same, but the national food stamps can be changed for oil, don't think I don't know what your idea is!"

The waiter was struck by Ma Xinghua's thoughts, and wondered: "There are too many buns, so it's not easy for me to deal with each other."

Ma Xinghua wanted to say something else, but Shen Jiao tugged at the corner of her clothes and whispered, "Sister Xinghua, one bun is just one bun, I think Auntie is really embarrassed."

The waiter glanced at Shen Jiao gratefully, she was really afraid of the little chili like Ma Xinghua, if she hadn't wanted the children at home to eat more oil, she wouldn't have to take advantage of a little girl!

Ma Xinghua was a little unhappy, she had stood up for Shen Jiao, but Shen Jiao wilted first, but it seemed that she was unrelenting!

Shen Jiao also knew that Ma Xinghua was unhappy, so she took the bun from the waiter's hand and stuffed one into Ma Xinghua's hand.

Ma Xinghua's temper came and went quickly. Seeing Shen Jiao's big-eyed little pug's appearance, her anger had disappeared long ago, but she still returned the meat buns to Shen Jiao with a stern face and said gruffly. : "It's obvious that you have a lot of buns! Hurry up and take it back to eat with your grandfather!"

Shen Jiao grinned, wiped the bun into Xiao Lanhua's mouth, and said deliberately, "Sister Lanhua has licked it, and Sister Xinghua should eat it. I bought six, and it happened that we and my grandfather each had one. And one for Uncle Xixi."

Ma Xinghua was so amused by Shen Jiao's rogue appearance that she couldn't help laughing. She was so angry that she focused heavily on her head. When she was about to break the buns in half, Shen Jiao took out two more buns and moved very quickly. He wiped Xiao Lanhua's mouth and looked at Ma Xinghua with a smile.

Poor little Orchid passed three buns in her mouth, but they were only fleeting. She didn't even gnaw on a single bun skin, and shouted angrily, "Eat the buns!"

Shen Jiao handed a bun to Orchid, and the little girl happily took the bun and gnawed it, mutteringly saying "delicious" while eating, her small mouth was shiny and very cute.

Ma Xinghua also made Shen Jiao lose her temper, so she had to wrap a bun in a handkerchief and put it in a basket, then broke the bun in her hand in half, giving the more meaty half to the younger brother and keeping the lesser half. gave to myself.

However, Ma Hongqi insisted that her sister bite the meat again. The two could not argue, and accidentally a piece of meat was spilled on the ground. Ma Xinghua screamed, picked up the meat from the ground, and complained to her brother: "You have too many things to do. Are you comfortable after losing such a large piece of meat?"

Ma Hongqi also has some regrets, how could he be so careless?

Ma Xinghua blew the meat in her hand and put it in her mouth, Shen Jiao hurriedly stopped her and said, "Sister Xinghua, don't eat it, it's dirty!"

"It's alright, I'm blowing the ashes, we rural people are not as careful as your city people!" Ma Xinghua ate the meat carelessly, and gave half of the buns in her hand to her brother, so that he could eat them all.

Seeing that the two brothers and sisters were about to push and shove again, Shen Jiao broke the bun in her hand in half, and handed it to Ma Xinghua: "Now stop arguing, if Xinghua falls to the ground again Sister is going to eat a belly of dirt!"

Ma Xinghua was amused by Shen Jiao and laughed, and she was no longer polite to Shen Jiao, she gave her half to Ma Hongqi, and she ate Shen Jiao's half.

Although the appearance of the mutton buns in Sanlibao is not very good-looking, the available materials are really conscientious. You can bite into the meat with one bite. The oil is licked clean, and I don't want to waste it at all.

Xiao Lanhua stopped eating half of the buns and returned the buns to her sister: "My father eats, milk eats, parents eat, third sister and fourth brother eat."

The little girl is only five years old, and she can't speak all of the words. She can speak clearly, but a few more words will cause confusion. Fortunately, Shen Jiao can still understand the general meaning, and she just wants to give the buns to her family. Eat, what a sensible child.

Ma Xinghua is also worried that her sister eats too much oil and has diarrhea.

He put away half of the buns and smiled at Shen Jiao, "Don't you want to go shopping in the back street, let's go."

The back street is not really a street, but a narrow dirt road. There are many local people squatting on both sides of the road, with vitex baskets in front of them, and the baskets are filled with rural products. The goods are very rich, such as rice, tobacco leaves, sorghum, Corn, soybeans, radishes, potatoes, etc., as well as chicken and duck eggs, what made Shen Jiao most delighted was that there was actually a wild animal, a hare, weighing ten pounds!

"Sister Xinghua, no one will come to arrest you when you buy things here, right?" Shen Jiao was a little worried, this back street was too close to the town, if the pickets found out, she would suffer!

Grandpa told her that private trading was forbidden in this dynasty, and if you caught it, you would have to be locked up!

Ma Xinghua said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, no one dares to take care of him. If anyone dares to take care of him, the villagers won't kill him!"

Two years ago, a new commune cadre did not understand, and arrested an old lady who sold eggs. As a result, the commune cadre was beaten with a sap at night, and hung from a tree in the winter and blew the north wind in the middle of the night. If it wasn't for the people who went to the toilet to find out, this cadre's life would not have been saved, but he also fell ill and lost most of his life.

Since then, no one dared to take care of the affairs of the backstreet. The cadres also turned a blind eye to this place. !

Seeing that Ma Xinghua said so firmly, Shen Jiao completely let go, and walked straight to the hare stall: "Why did you change the rabbit?"

When you buy something here, you can’t say buy, you have to say change, which means changing things, not buying things!

The stall owner was a tall middle-aged man. When he saw several children, he grinned and said, "My rabbit needs a lot of money, so you should let the adults come, ah!"

Shen Jiao smiled and said, "Uncle, please tell me the price, so I can go back and tell the adults."

The stall owner stretched out his hand to make a comparison, Ma Xinghua was startled, and said in a low voice: "It costs eight yuan for such a rabbit? Uncle, is this too expensive?"

The stall owner laughed and said: "Now pork costs seven cents and twenty one kilograms. My rabbit weighs at least ten kilograms. I don't want a meat ticket. Eight yuan is not too expensive!"

"Your ten jins are empty. Apart from the hair and the goods in your belly, you can still have at most seven jins left, so it's more than one pound per pound, and it's not expensive? And the rabbit meat is all lean meat. If we can’t boil the oil, we are willing to buy it.” Ma Hongqi’s calculation was very accurate, and the stall owner felt a little guilty.

Ma Xinghua asked Shen Jiao in a low voice, "Do you really want to buy this rabbit? How much? It's not worth it if you can buy a lot of food!"

Shen Jiao also whispered back: "Sister Xinghua, don't worry, I still have some money on me, enough to buy rabbits. Grandpa eats meat before he can work!"

Ma Xinghua touched Shen Jiao's head and said to the stall owner, "Uncle, don't be fooled, we'll change it for five yuan."

The stall owner was still a little hesitant, Ma Hongqi said: "There are not many people who can afford five yuan within a hundred miles. If you don't want to sell it, you can only keep it for yourself."
