Chapter 144: Going to the market
The rabbit was not killed in the end.
After Gu's mother came out after writing her name, she heard her daughter-in-law and son talking about how they had eaten the rabbit, which made her head feel big.
He quickly stopped them: "You can't eat rabbits when you're pregnant!"
Jiang Mingcha: "? Why?"
Gu's mother: "If you eat rabbits when you're pregnant, the babies you'll give birth to will have harelips!"
The more remote the place, the more superstitions and rules there are.
This was the first time Jiang Mingcha heard this statement.
Although she would rather believe in superstitious things when she encountered them, she still felt that this thing was a bit ridiculous.
However, Jiang Mingcha was serious about his mother's womb and didn't want to make everyone unhappy because of a trivial matter, so he said, "I understand, how about we just keep the rabbit?"
Mother Gu nodded: "Yes, keep it. The market will open in a few days, and you can take the rabbit to exchange for some things."
Although personal buying and selling is not allowed now.
But there is a market at a fixed time every month, usually in the county town. People can take the things they don't use at home and exchange them for others at the market.
In addition to barter, there are also people under special circumstances who can sell things in the market.
For example, if you get the certificate, you can sell things.
Like Spring Festival couplets, candied haws, baubles and so on.
Jiang Mingcha has seen the market on TV, but has never been to one in real life.
Hearing what Gu's mother said, she felt excited instantly.
It's the end of the year, and there's nothing going on in the workplace. Jiang Mingcha and Bai Meiyu no longer have to go to work every day as before.
Taking turns on duty, only one person needs to be there.
There was a market tomorrow, and Jiang Mingcha happened to not be on duty. Seeing her interest, Gu's mother said she would take her with her the next day.
Go to the market.
Jiang Mingcha was so excited that she couldn't sleep that night.
"Should weBring something to change? "
Gu Siyan thought for a moment and said, "You can take the rabbit with you. "
Rabbit is meat.
Maybe I can get something back in exchange.
During the day, she still wanted to eat it, but at night Jiang Mingcha teased the rabbit with cabbage for a while, and felt that the rabbit was so cute and that Gu Siyan had caught it specially for her, so she couldn't bear to part with it.
"Forget it, let's keep the rabbit. "
Gu Siyan smiled and helped her massage her calves, especially her calves.
In winter, people do less activities and sit all the time. The temperature is low and blood circulation is not as good as in hot weather. Jiang Mingcha is prone to edema while pregnant.
In the past few days, every afternoon, my calves have become swollen and uncomfortable.
Therefore, after soaking her feet, Gu Siyan would help her squeeze her calves.
Relax your muscles.
Then give her a massage on the soles of her feet.
The man's strength and technique have been trained, and the massage is extremely comfortable, no worse than the technicians at the blind massage parlor. Jiang Mingcha fell asleep after being pressed by him several times.
Not to mention, after pressing it like this, the quality of sleep is extremely high, and the whole person feels refreshed the next day.
It must be Gu Siyan.
His fragrant and soft wife's calves and feet were in his hands, so tender and white, but he couldn't keep his mind on them.
It's true that I'm a little frustrated.
Jiang Mingcha was there thinking about what to buy tomorrow. Mother Gu said there were also candied haws, which made her excited.
Sweet and sour candied haws, although eating too much is not good for pregnant women.
But she can buy a bunch, eat one, and give the rest to Gu Siyan.
There are also Spring Festival couplets!
I definitely want Spring Festival couplets. If I buy Spring Festival couplets, I also have to put a blessing character on my door.
With this kind of prosperous decoration, it adds to the New Year atmosphere.
In previous years, Jiang Mingcha would celebrate the New Year alone.
This year she can celebrate the New Year with her family and her unborn baby. She is full of expectations for this year.
Gu Siyan listened to her thoughts, occasionally picked up a sentence or two, and then wrote down everything she said.
Gradually, the girl's voice became smaller and smaller.
Gu Siyan put her legs down and covered her with the quilt. As expected, she had fallen asleep holding the quilt on her chest.
He got out of bed gently, blew out the lamp, then got into bed, put her in his arms, and kissed her face.
It was snowing heavily outside, and it was a land of ice and snow.
There was only the peaceful breathing of the two people in the room, which was as warm as spring.
The market always comes out in the morning and ends at one or two in the afternoon.
If you want to get something good, the sooner you go, the better.
Early in the morning, as soon as it was dawn, Gu's mother got up and prepared breakfast.
The market is in the county town, so they have to go there by car.
With such a long journey, you must eat more in the morning, and eat something with hot soup.
So when Gu's mother got up in the morning, she started rolling out the noodles, boiled a pot of clear noodle soup, and made some chicken soup. After that, she could last all morning.
After throwing the noodles into the pot, Gu's mother went to wake Jiang Mingcha and the others up.
By the time they finished cleaning up, the noodles were ready.
With the fragrant and rich egg noodles, just taking a sip of the soup, Jiang Mingcha felt like his whole body came to life, "Mom, your skills are getting better and better. If you go earlier, you can open a shop." "
In the beginning, Gu's mother only cooked the food well enough to not kill anyone.
Later, I slowly started to pay attention to the taste.
Now that I know that my daughter-in-law likes everything that looks good, she is also led by Mingcha. She feels that eating is a major event in life and cannot be careless. She also begins to pay attention to the beauty, flavor and taste.
Just such a simple bowl of clear soup noodles, Gu's mother also cooked some green vegetables for decoration.
There are pickles on the table.
Gu's mother also took a sip of the soup and was so happy that Jiang Mingcha praised her, "Hey, it's not so exaggerated. "
After finishing speaking, he paused again, "But, I also think my craftsmanship is not worse than those in state-owned restaurants. "
When Mother Gu said this, Jiang Mingcha remembered.
Although they had brought food to Gu's mother from a state-owned hotel before, they had never taken Gu's mother to a state-owned hotel.
Therefore, when Gu's mother said this, her tone was floating and she had no confidence at all.
The first thing children from poor families do when they make money is to take their parents and grandparents to eat something they have never eaten before and are reluctant to eat.
The same is true for ginger tea.
She was making a lot of money now, including food stamps and meat stamps. Seeing the curiosity and yearning in Gu's mother's eyes, she immediately made up her mind.
"Suddenly I really want to eat steamed buns from state-owned restaurants. "
After speaking, he winked at Gu Siyan, then looked at Gu's mother, "Mom, why don't we eat in the county and come back at noon. "
Eat in the county.
If someone had said this to Gu's mother before, Gu's mother would have been a mouthful.
What?
Can't you eat the food at home?
You still have to go out and spend money to eat, is it better to spend money to eat? !
But this is my daughter-in-law.
What's more, she is still in a special situation. She is easily hungry when she is pregnant.
The weather is still cold now, and the dry food will turn into ice cubes by noon, so we can't let her go hungry.
Gu's mother gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, then mom will treat you to a state-owned restaurant today!" "
It just so happened that Su settled her work points some time ago, and Gu's mother still had dozens of dollars in her hand.
Jiang Mingcha: "How can I ask you to pay? Mom, have you forgotten how much money I make? I have to give you this money. "
No matter what, Mother Gu couldn't defeat Jiang Mingcha.Can only compromise.
But, when she turned around, Mother Gu's hands were shaking with excitement.
She, Liu Jinfeng, will one day be able to eat in a state-owned restaurant!
