Chapter 29: To Those Who Are Good to You

Zhou family's reputation. You stole someone, and the Shen family hasn't even mentioned divorce. You made a big deal out of nothing. How can we possibly live like this" 。Zhou Weidong, as the elder bro..."This place will do, let's make a pact." 。Dong Chunhua is always decisive and efficient in her work. At a glance, she chose the room of Zhou brothers' as it was sunny and well-ventilated. 。This room is not only spacious and bright, but it also has a small balcony. Dong Chunhua immediately made the decision. 。"No, that's my son's room." 。Mother Zhou stood directly at the doorway, glaring angrily at Dong Chunhua. 。"Aunt, don't make a fuss, the person who pays the rent for the room is the one who owns it." 。Brother, come over and persuade him quickly. 。Lin Weiwang looked at Zhou Weidong standing at the foot of the stairs with a sullen face. 。"Weidong, you give me ten more dollars, and we'll keep this room." 。"Chen Suyun just wanted to keep the room for now. As for the money, she would leave it with Lin Weilan temporarily. It was still early before they went down south, and she would get it back eventually." 。"Mom, I didn't bring back that much money. The rest of the money needs to cover the household expenses. Otherwise, let's go downstairs and figure it out first." 。Zhou Weidong saved over 1,600 yuan during his five years of military service. Now, if he keeps spending at this rate, he'll have no savings left. 。Made a written agreement with the Wang family, Wang Fudao, as the director of the neighborhood committee, served as both an official witness and notary public and signed his name and stamped it. 。Having received sixty yuan, Lin Wewan followed the Wang family downstairs. "Mr. Wang, please take care of dividing the room downstairs for us. Let me know the cost when it's done." 。I give this to you. 。"You don't need to be polite with me, you helped your uncle solve a big problem. Don't worry, I'll have someone come over and take care of it in a bit." 。Wang Fudao was naturally delighted that Lin Wulan had rented out the house, solving his housing shortage problem. 。Both parties left satisfied, leaving only the Zhou family staring blankly in the living room. 。Lin Weiwan rode her bicycle in the deserted alley, tying the two large bamboo frames from the space to her bike. Today was the day she had agreed with Mr. Hu to pick up meat at the slaughterhouse. 。In the back room's small pantry, Hu Guangwen weighed and placed chunks of fresh pork, just slaughtered, into Lin Weilan's bamboo basket. 。"Little Wan, the weather is hot, take the meat back and process it as soon as possible. You're slow working alone, otherwise go to my house and find your aunt, let her help you marinate..." 。Hu Guangwen picked up four large plates of lard and two strips of fat, putting them into the bamboo basket. "You take this lard back and directly render it into lard oil, put it in a jar, and it's great for stir-frying." 。Lin Weiwai looked at the large slabs of lard. A pig could only yield two complete slabs after being cut up, and Hu Bo had given her four pieces—that was the lard from two pigs. 。The fat was even glistening with bright oil. 。At this time, families only dared to use a little oil when cooking, and they calculated everything they used. 。When buying meat, those who want some fat on it have to line up at the front. 。"Thank you, Uncle Hu. How are your elder and younger brothers in the army When will they be back on leave" 。Lin Wèiwan was thinking about what she could give Mr. Hu. 。"Those two rotten boys, after joining the army, they forgot about home. They're lucky to send back a letter once every one or two months." 。Still nothing like you girls, so thoughtful and caring. 。Your aunt keeps talking about you at home. 。Hu Guangwen smirked, saying his son was careless, but his waist immediately straightened a few points, quite proud. 。"Okay, that's all for 148 pounds. Regardless of fat or lean, just calculate it at eight cents each." 。Hu Guangwen quickly weighed it. 。"Putting a few big bones and an entire pig's liver into Lin Weilan's bamboo basket, he said, "Take this back to make up for your body. You're probably going to catch up with the autumn harvest when you go down to the countryside. Don't foolishly work yourself to death. Your own health is the most important." 。Lin Weiwai took out twelve big unity tickets and a thick stack of meat coupons from her satchel and handed them to Hu Guangwen. 。"Uncle Hu, thank you, you've helped me so much again. " 。"Speaking, he took out two boxes of tea leaves from his bulging satchel. "Uncle Hu, take these two boxes of tea back and eat them. I'm going to the countryside and it's inconvenient to carry these around." 。Lin Weiwang stuffed two boxes of one hundred gram tea leaves into Hu Guangwen's arms. 。Cover the bamboo frame on the bicycle. 。Hu Guangwen put the money away, and from a pack of meat vouchers, he took out one-third and gave it to Lin Weilan. 。"Keep this, I'll handle the rest. You can't do anything in the countryside without these tickets. These cotton and sugar ration tickets were traded by your aunt these past two days. Keep them safe and don't lose them." 。Don't flaunt your wealth when you're in the countryside. If anything happens, just whip out your little red booklet—it can be surprisingly useful. If you run into trouble, send me a telegram. And even if things get really bad, you still have two brothers who served in the army. 。Hu Guangwen took out a handkerchief from his pocket. It was wrapped with a note that his wife had given him this morning. 。Chiding Lin Weiwan like an old father. 。Looking at the promissory note in her hand and listening to Old Hu's worried words, Lin Weilan's eyes and nose turned red. "Old Hu..." Leaving the meat processing plant, Lin Weilan pushed her bicycle. Riding a bike with the weight of the pork made the tire deflate by a third. 。Quickly found a secluded alleyway and brought in the bamboo basket with meat into the space. 。He took out a large bamboo basket from the space, and inside were piles of empty bottles and cans, as well as two large oil flasks. 。...put on some dark makeup in the space, changing her appearance... 。Lin Wewai rode her bicycle toward the nearest grocery store. Entering the store, Lin Wewai, carrying a bamboo basket on her back, stood at the counter and joined the queue. She reached into her bag and pulled out Zhou's grocery list. 。

I'm getting all the condiments from the grocery store this month for everyone, eggs, soybean paste, sesame oil...

"Same here, I need seven portions of eggs, plus sesame oil and soybean oil. Do you have rapeseed oil today"

Lin Weilan put her condiment list on the counter

How come you bought so many, after you buy this way the other fans of the same group probably won't be able to buy that much. 。"Fu Qiuyan wasn't much older than Lin Wewan, only two years. Looking at Lin Wewan's porcelain-white skin, she sounded rather displeased." 。"The same goes for me and my brother. We signed up to go to the countryside. My older brother, who is in the army, took special leave from his unit to come back. Mom prepared extra food for us siblings to take with us." 。Lin Wewai explained openly and generously, and the older women who had initially disagreed were not upset at all. Instead, they secretly observed Lin Wewai 。"So that's how it is, wait a moment, I'll get the goods for you." 。When Fu Qiuyan heard Lin Wunan's words, all the hostility she had just now vanished, and instead she secretly glanced at Lin Wunan a few times. 。I wonder what the soldier brother of this girl looks like, and if he has gotten married. 。Lin Weiwan handed the small bamboo basket to Fu Qiuyan, waiting for the other person to pick up the eggs. 。Taking out money and tickets, eight people could only buy seven kilograms of eggs, which was a month's supply. If they wanted to buy more, they would have to wait until the beginning of next month. 。Lin Weiwan handed Fu Qiuyan several empty bottles and a small oil drum. She had prepared three and a half catties of peanut oil, half a catty per person for a month and a half; five catties of rapeseed oil, three taels and a half of sesame oil; five catties of vermicelli, five catties of wide noodles, and two catties of white sugar. 。At another counter, Lin Weilan bought Sichuan peppercorns, star anise, cinnamon, cloves, bay leaves, and salt seasoning. She also bought two bottles of soy sauce and two bottles of vinegar. 。
