At this moment, the sky was slightly bright, and the streets were still cold and empty. There were not many people.
Li Weidong took two steps back before he could see the person who bumped into him clearly.
"So it's Sister-in-law Jia. Where are you in a hurry to go?”
Qin Huairu was holding a jar in one hand and clutching her chest with the other. One could still see a hint of panic on her face.
"Li Er…Second Brother."
"You should just call me by my name. These two brothers don't sound very good.”
Li Weidong shook his head and squatted down to clean up the basket.
He took the flour bag away and could clearly see that several eggs inside had already broken.
Qin Huairu had originally wanted to tease him, but when she saw this scene, she was dumbfounded.
Then, she felt a little dizzy.
Eggs?
And she accidentally broke it?
Li Weidong cleaned up the broken eggs. There were a total of six broken eggs.
Looking at the broken egg, he frowned.
If it was an ordinary family, they would definitely not be willing to throw away the broken ones. Even if they were stained with soil, they would still clean them up.
However, Li Weidong was used to life in his later life. Now that he had the game farm, he did not like it.
"Sister-in-law, I was a little anxious just now, but you didn't look where you were going. How about we split the broken eggs and each of us bear three?”
Although he didn't care about the eggs, it was obviously impossible to pretend that nothing had happened.
Generosity was sometimes seen as weakness.
"I, I'll bear three?"
Qin Huairu's face turned pale.
Who didn't know that eggs were precious these days?
Moreover, her family's situation was especially special.
Her husband had died less than half a year ago, and she had just given birth to a younger daughter. She had a mother-in-law, a son, and an elder daughter at home.
Although the factory took care of her and let her replace her husband's quota to enter the rolling mill, she received the minimum wage.
The livelihood of the whole family was on her shoulders, and the days were tight.
As for the eggs, the last time he had them was when he had just given birth to his little daughter. As a special needs person, he had received two catties of eggs from the street office. M.58160.net
But in fact, most of the eggs had gone into the stomachs of his son and eldest daughter.
She couldn't bear to eat it.
And now, she had to pay for three eggs?
Where did she get the eggs?
"Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't have eggs. I just exchanged these eggs in Pigeon City. I'll convert them to 25 cents per egg, so three eggs are 75 cents.”
Li Weidong seemed to have seen through her thoughts and spoke again.
Upon hearing Li Weidong's words, Qin Huairu muttered to herself,'My heart is black.'
Twenty-five cents for an egg?
Why didn't he go rob them?
If they bought it with egg tickets, it would only cost 50 cents per catty.
Eggs were small these days, about ten per catty.
It was equivalent to five cents.
It had increased by five times when it came to her?
A grown man only knows how to bully a widow.
Even though Qin Huairu was unhappy, she still forced a smile.
"Li…Brother Weidong, how about this? When my family gives out egg coupons at the end of the year, I'll buy them and return them to you.”
She was unwilling to spend 75 cents on three eggs.
There was a difference of 60 cents.
He could buy dozens of catties of cabbage.
"The end of the year?"
Li Weidong dragged his words out and rejected Qin Huiru's offer under her expectant gaze.
"No!"
"You, you went to the black market to buy eggs. Aren't you afraid that I'll report you?”Qin Huairu said angrily.
Of course, she was just saying it casually.
"You can go."
Li Weidong said calmly.
Since he dared to say it in front of her, he was not afraid that she would report him.
There was no evidence, unless her family did not want to live in this courtyard anymore.
After all, which family didn't have a difficult time?
He had never been to Pigeon City?
"I don't have money."
Qin Huairu had no other choice and decided to act shamelessly.
"If you don't have money, you can use other things to pay for it.”Li Weidong looked at him from head to toe and smiled.
"Sure, if you're not afraid that your father will break your legs, come at me.”
Qin Huairu glared at him and puffed up her chest.
"Heh."
Li Weidong chuckled and walked past him with the basket. However, his voice reached Qin Huiru's ears faintly.
"You wish."
"Seeing that we're all living in the same courtyard, I'll give you a grace period until the end of the year. However, by then, it won't be three eggs, but six.”
Qin Huiru only came back to her senses after Li Weidong's figure disappeared.
"He has thick eyebrows and big eyes. He looks decent. I didn't expect him to be black-hearted. I don't think he should be called Li Weidong.”
Qin Huairu flew into a rage out of humiliation as she grumbled hatefully.
Then, she glanced at the broken egg that Li Weidong had thrown aside. Unfortunately, it had completely seeped into the soil. It was too late to save it.
This made her heart ache even more.
When Li Weidong got home, he found his grandmother cleaning up the house.
Or rather, Grandma had not slept since he left.
There was actually nothing much to tidy up at home. There were only some half-new and half-old belongings. Moreover, because there were few places to stay, no matter how they tidied up, it looked messy.
At the same time, Zhang Xiuzhen and her sister-in-law also woke up.
At this moment, whether it was the new daughter-in-law or the old daughter-in-law, if they wanted to sleep until late in the morning or let their mother-in-law bring the food to the bed, they were simply overthinking.
"Why did you come back so late?"
Seeing Li Weidong, Grandma finally felt relieved.
"It's my first time going to Pigeon Market, so I couldn't help but walk around. Here, I bought some flour and eggs.”
Li Weidong looked at Grandma fawningly and put the basket on the table.
Grandma didn't pay much attention to what she bought, but Zhang Xiuzhen and Yang Fangfang widened their eyes in unison.
Flour?
Eggs?
However, the former felt sorry for Li Weidong and thought that he had spent all the money he had given him.
As for the latter, it was pure happiness.
With flour and eggs, could he roll noodles and make a poached egg?
"It's my good grandson's ability that allowed me to buy flour and eggs.”
Grandma took a deep look at her daughter-in-law and praised her with a smile.
Even though Li Weidong was thick-skinned, he still couldn't help but feel a little anxious when he heard this.
Old Mrs. Han's bias was also very crooked.
"Yeah, it's good. I can cook some eggs for Weidong.”What else could Zhang Xiuzhen say?
"Sister-in-law, I bought a total of 14 eggs. I cooked seven this morning.”Li Weidong said.
"Seven?"
Yang Fangfang did not react in time.
Aren't there eight people in the family?
His brother-in-law had injured his head and was confused?
"Auntie, this flour is a total of eight catties and seven taels. Including the eggs, it costs a total of two yuan. In the future, every three to five days, it will be this much. You can make whatever you want to eat.”
Li Weidong ignored his confused sister-in-law and said to Zhang Xiuzhen.
"Two?"
Zhang Xiuzhen raised her voice and looked at Li Weidong suspiciously.
Was he treating her like she had never been to the black market?
Don't know the price?
"Yes, it was a coincidence. A friend of mine sold the flour and eggs to me at a low price.”Li Weidong said calmly.
It was just a friend who sold pumpkin, flour, and eggs. In a few days, perhaps even a friend who sold meat would come out.
As the old saying went, one had to rely on their parents at home and friends outside.
Li Weidong didn't have many friends.
"What friend?"
At this moment, Mr. Li walked out of the house with a gloomy face.
