Chapter 61 Pasting Matchbox

Wei Hongjuan put down the bucket, and when she saw clearly that the meat had no skin, she realized that the meat looked like pork, but not like pork.

Mi Xiaoxiao said with a smile, "This is wild boar meat. I saw some country people selling it secretly on the roadside. They didn't need a ticket and it was cheap, so I bought ten kilograms."

"Wild boar is not as delicious as domestic pork. It is hard and woody, but it is also very fragrant when stewed."

Wei Hongjuan took the meat, put it in an empty basin, poured in the water she had just fetched, washed and rubbed it several times before taking it into the kitchen, cut off three kilograms, and put it in a big bowl, "Xiaoxiao, take these.

To Le Jia.”

Yesterday, someone sent me so many gifts. Even though they were gifts of thanks, we and she had to give gifts in return. Friendships can only last long if they come and go.

Mi Xiaoxiao took the bowl and sent it to Lejia under the cover of night.

Tian Yufen opened the door and saw a large bowl of meat. Her eyes were full of smiles, but her mouth was polite and she said, "Xiaoxiao, why did you bring so much meat? Take it back quickly. Everyone in my family has a job, and the unit will pay them."

Meat tickets, there is no shortage of meat at home, but in your family, your father is the only one who works, so there are not many meat tickets, so you should take it back to dry the bacon and keep it to eat later."

"Ms. Tian, ​​this is wild boar meat. It was given by relatives in the countryside. I brought some for you to try. I still have it at home. It's enough to eat."

In front of outsiders, it was hard for Mi Xiaoxiao to say that she bought it.

Right now, buying and selling things privately is a crime.

Tian Yufen stopped being polite and took the bowl into the kitchen. When she came out, there was a large bowl of fried peanuts in the bowl.

"Letong's father's work unit gave out five kilograms of peanuts. I fried some for you to try."

"Thank you, Mrs. Tian."

Mi Xiaoxiao was not polite either. Since we decided to treat each other as relatives, it would be bad to be too polite.

When Mi Xiaoxiao returned home, Wei Hongjuan looked at the fragrant fried peanuts and smiled, "Save it for your dad to drink with. This is what your dad likes."

Mi Baoguo likes to drink a little wine, but he is not a greedy drinker. He never drinks when he is out in the car. He only drinks one or two drinks when visiting relatives and friends during the New Year and festivals.

He couldn't drink at home, and Mrs. Mi never gave him wine.

In this era, wine is a valuable thing and must be bought with money. In Mrs. Mi's heart, Mi Baoguo, a slave, is not worthy of drinking wine and eating meat.

Mi Xiaoxiao had big almond-shaped eyes and her smile was brighter than the moon on the 15th day of the lunar month. "Then I'll find a can and put it in a bottle and save it for dad to eat more times."

I happily went into the house, took an empty can bottle that Aunt Zhang had left behind when she moved, washed it, wiped off the water, poured the peanuts into it, and sealed it.

Mi Baoguo went to the provincial capital and did not come back today. In the evening, mother and daughter had dinner. Wei Hongjuan cut three ounces of meat, boiled it in water, added lettuce cubes, and braised a plate.

Then they fried another green vegetable, cooked a pot of rice, and the mother and daughter had a meal.

After dinner, Wei Hongjuan sat at the table and glued matchboxes. This was a manual job that Tian Yufen took her to do during the day. She could earn a few cents a day and add some money to her family.

Mi Xiaoxiao looked at the boxes on the table and sat down to help bake them.

Wei Hongjuan couldn't bear to let her daughter hurt her eyes. After a while, she urged Mi Xiaoxiao to go to bed. Mi Xiaoxiao said, "Mom, this box-painting job is tiring for the eyes and won't make much money. Don't do it anymore. Mom will stay at home."

No, we have a sewing machine at home, why don’t you go get some sewing work and do it during the day, it’s easier than gluing matchboxes.”

Wei Hongjuan said sheepishly, "Your Madam Tian dragged me to take over the job, and I couldn't refuse. She also had good intentions. Mom knew in her heart that she would take over this time."
