Chapter 151

The family of three walked out of the classroom at almost the same time, looking at each other and smiling.

The blue sky in autumn is blue and high, and the cool breeze blows, bringing up the golden leaves on the ground. Fortunately, Su Xiaoxiao's family has lived up to this epoch-making golden autumn.

A family of three went to the market to buy vegetables hand in hand. They didn't answer the answers very well, nor did they ask each other how they did in the test. For them, the participation process was the most important part, and the results were often not that important. They knew the result in an instant.

Su Xiaoxiao asked the rice ball: "What do you want to eat today? Mom will make it for you."

The rice ball is the big brother in the family. It is the first time to go out to the vegetable market with my father on the left and my mother on the right. Before Twins was born, it was the welfare of Xiaodoubao, and then it was naturally the welfare of Twins. He was the first time People "occupy" parents.

No matter how smart the rice ball is, he is only a ten-year-old little rice ball. He has grown into a white shirt and black trousers. He looks like a standard handsome boy. Generally, a child like him will not hold his parents, but the rice ball is in the father's In front of my mother will always be that innocent and natural little rice ball. She will hold her head high and hold her mother and father, making her eyes narrow with joy.

Su Xiaoxiao has always treated the children in the family equally, whether it is rice balls or small meat buns, they have the right to order once a week, and Xiaozhuzi can also order once a week if they want to eat. There are no unwritten rules that change.

Today's small rice ball is a small rice ball that enjoys his mother's only pet. He orders food without any psychological pressure: "Mom, I want to eat pineapple sweet and sour pork!"

This is a dish that several cubs in the family like very much. They all like sweet and sour things. In the first two months, when pineapples were in season, this dish appeared on the table almost every week, but this season's Pineapples are outdated, because Qingfeng Town is close to the southernmost part. In fact, some people plant them all year round. Occasionally, they can buy some out-of-season pineapples in the black market.

The black market is no longer called the black market, it is called the small market. People who can't buy things in the supply and marketing cooperatives are no longer afraid to go to the small market to find them. Although they can't be openly and without fear, people with discerning eyes know that this is the same as the college entrance examination. Sooner or later, the sale of unpaid tickets will be released, and the difference is only a matter of time.

Five years ago, Su Xiaoxiao's waist-high cub was as tall as her now. Su Xiaoxiao rubbed the head of the cub cherishingly. The cub ate well, slept well, exercised a lot, and grew long. It's very fast. If he doesn't squat down in a few years, she won't be able to reach it.

"Okay, let's eat pineapple sweet and sour pork. If we can't buy pineapple, let's use vegetable pepper instead. It's just as delicious."

Onigiri smiled and said, "I listen to my mother."

Su Xiaoxiao asked Lao Hu to keep the meat yesterday, but it was only less than a pound. Naturally, it was not enough to stretch his stomach to eat. He had to wait and try his luck at the small market.

Lao Hu Lehe gave the meat to Su Xiaoxiao and asked the rice ball: "It's been a long time since the rice ball came to the market. How was the exam today? The little monkey said you were busy studying and haven't played with him for a long time."

The little rice ball is rarely modest: "It's not very good, I haven't studied much of the textbooks in high school, so I just went to join in the fun."

"It's amazing to be able to take the exam. By the way, thank you for always helping me supervise the little monkey's study. The stinky boy is studying very hard now." Children who play well with the little rice ball are not bad in basic learning, because the rice ball is not bad. I have never played with children who don't like to learn, so everyone knows that if you want to play with onigiri, you have to study hard first, it doesn't matter if you are stupid, the boss of onigiri will teach you where you don't understand, but you can't if you don't like to learn.

Old Hu said, and took out a pig's ear from the bottom, "This little meat bun loves to eat, take it back and make it for the little meat bun."

Lao Hu especially likes Xiaoroubao. He thinks that he looks like a little lucky star. He looks like a little lucky star. He looks so happy when he looks at him with a smile. When he arrives at home, he looks like a little god of wealth. In short, he is refreshed. At one o'clock, he was able to take him home for dinner, but now that he is older, he is not happy to go with him.

How does Lao Hu know that the adults in the family restrict Xiaoroubao and do not plan to go to other people's houses to eat food. If Su Xiaoxiao allows him, he can go home to eat with the old Uncle Hu who "seems to have the most meat in the family" three days a week.

Su Xiaoxiao was not polite to him: "Thank you, calculate how much it is in total."

Lao Hu subconsciously wanted to say that he didn't want the money to give Xiaoroubao to eat, but he knew that Su Xiaoxiao's family would definitely not want it if they didn't receive money, so he changed his words and quoted the lowest price.

Hancheng took the meat, thanked Lao Hu, and the whole family rushed to buy other things.

After buying the goods here, Su Xiaoxiao saw that it was almost time for dinner, so he said to Hancheng, "Hancheng, take your things home first, then go to Xiaoyu'er's house to pick up the children, and I will go to the small market with the rice ball. Can you buy a pineapple?"

Hancheng glanced at his son and said, "Don't be accustomed to children, didn't you already buy peppers? You don't have to use pineapples."

Su Xiaoxiao took the big cub's hand and waved at the little pear vortex and said, "It's rare that my son wants to eat, so I want to go shopping with our eldest son, okay?"

Although Su Xiaoxiao treats every cub in the family equally, but because the rice ball is the largest and needs little care, plus independence and assertiveness, the time and attention he spends with him is relatively less than that of a few cubs, which is rare. Su Xiaoxiao wanted to spend more time with the rice ball.

Hancheng is speechless.

If the little rice ball has a tail behind it, it should be wagging at this moment: "Yes, Dad, don't hinder me and my mother from shopping, bye..." After that, he pushed Su Xiaoxiao's shoulder and walked forward.

Hancheng looked at his son, who had grown to the same height as Su Xiaoxiao, as if this stinky boy had grown so big that he hadn't touched a single finger, and his hands were itchy again today.

Su Xiaoxiao and rice balls came to the small market at the bottom of the bridge. After several years of transformation, this place has become a small market. All kinds and sorts are sold. don’t know when it started to sell pork. Someone sold it.

It was a rare time to make pineapple sweet and sour pork, so Su Xiaoxiao bought another pound of meat and two good pineapples, thinking that she would simply let the cubs eat all at once.

"Mom, that person seems to be Aunt Zhong." Rice Ball pointed to a woman selling ready-to-wear with a bicycle not far away.

Su Xiaoxiao looked in the direction of the rice ball's finger, and sure enough, she saw Dun Dun's mother, Zhong Huiming.

Dun Dun’s father retired last year due to injury and illness. Their hometown is in the next county. It is said that they were transferred to the county police station to work. Dun Dunniang went to the county state-owned shopping mall to work as a salesperson. Before leaving, Dun Dun and Yaya came to say goodbye. Shi had specifically said this, he had given her an address, and he wanted to leave the little lotus pond at home for her to grow, but Su Xiaoxiao couldn't grow lotus roots, so he left it to other neighbors who could grow.

Su Xiaoxiao and the rice ball went over to say hello: "Hui Ming is really you? Why are you selling clothes here?"

"Xiaoxiao? Rice balls? It's been a long time." Su Xiaoxiao seldom came to the small market recently. Zhong Huiming had never seen them once every few days. Naturally, she was very happy to see them today.

The rice ball politely said: "Aunt Zhong, how are you, grandma and Dun Dun Yaya?"

Zhong Huiming is a very quick-witted woman. She smiled and said, "Okay, it's all good. The rice balls seem to be growing taller, don't they? I'm comfortable with some pure cotton, which is very suitable for you to wear. Would you like to pick a few?"

Su Xiaoxiao looked through her clothes, all of which were suitable for children. The styles were simple and elegant. There were good skirts suitable for girls, as well as cotton clothes and trousers. The quality of cotton was also very good.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the people around her and asked her in a low voice, "Aren't you working in a state-run shopping mall? Why did you come here to sell clothes?"

Zhong Huiming said: "Dun Dun's father has been uncomfortable since he changed his career, and he was unwilling to go after a few days of work. In addition, the injury on his foot kept coming back and forth, so I asked him to quit his job and take good care of him at home. Now, how can the whole family rely on my salary? I was so worried for a while.

A relative happened to be working in a garment factory in Winter City. He said that he could help me get clothes at wholesale prices. He also said that the market over there was about to open, and the streets were full of people doing business. In the future, personal transactions will be legal , ask me if I dare to do it, I naturally dare not, why am I smashing my iron rice bowl, right? He didn't talk nonsense to me, he directly sent me samples and quoted the price, smiled and looked at your clothes. "

Zhong Huiming picked up a piece of clothing and handed it to Su Xiaoxiao: "A piece of clothing of the same quality should be sold for three or four yuan in our shopping mall, right? A cloth ticket is also required, but I will charge a friend's price for this piece of clothing. Even if I sell it to you, I still make money. I took the samples he sent me and went to a small market stall in the county to try it out. After a while, they were all sold out. I earned half a month's salary in just one sample, and I was in that mood at the time."

Zhong Huiming sighed: "If it wasn't for Dun Dun's father waiting for money to treat his legs, I might still be hesitant, but now I have nothing to hesitate, I just hope that this market can be opened up and legalized like the college entrance examination, I am here. When the time comes, I will rent a small shop to buy goods from my relatives, and I will be satisfied by doing some small business to support the family."

Su Xiaoxiao expressed her understanding. If she remembered correctly, around this time next year, the great leader will propose a policy of "reform at home and open to the outside world", and the spring breeze of "reform and opening up" will blow across China. Dadi, the rural areas will implement the contracting policy of "distributing fields to households", and a brand-new economic organization called "self-employed" will be born, allowing these mobile vendors to embark on a compliant and legal way of operating, and the entire market will be Gradually open up, form a new economic situation, and push economic development to a new level.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at her firmly: "Hui Ming, don't worry, I also think that the market will be freed up soon, and personal business will become legal business. Although the current wind is not as tense as in earlier years, but now you Try to be careful and wait patiently for the policy to arrive.”

"Really? Xiaoxiao you are so literate, I believe you, what you said must be right." Zhong Huiming was overjoyed, as if eating a set one's mind at ease, in fact, she did this with the whole family in mind. There is no bottom. I always worry that others will say that she is speculating and cutting the tail of capitalism. The whole family follows her in fear all day long.

Su Xiaoxiao asked the rice ball to choose the clothes she liked, and also helped her brother and sister Xiaozhuzi and Xiaoyuer to choose one.

Onigiri likes to wear white shirts and black pants now, and like Su Xiaoxiao, he prefers comfortable pure cotton. He helped all the boys choose the same white shirts as him, and helped his sister choose a pair of sky blue floral cotton skirt.

When paying, Zhong Huiming insisted on only charging more than one yuan for each item, but Su Xiaoxiao said, "Huiming, you remember, you should earn not less than a cent when you open the door to do business, not to mention anything else. The shipping cost of the clothes, your labor costs, the favors you owe relatives, etc. These are all costs. You can give me a friendship price, but you can’t help but make money. The same is true for selling to other acquaintances. Making black money, we bought clothes that are cheaper than the mall, you earn what you should earn, and this kind of happiness is called a win-win, right?"

There are two types of people. Some people are unfamiliar and do not eat, and they only make money from acquaintances. Some honest people make money from acquaintances, sorry for the inconvenience. Zhong Huiming is the latter, so Su Xiaoxiao will remind her a few words.

Zhong Huiming took the money from Su Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, you are the only one who would tell me that, and think about me so much. Some people would like me to sell them at a loss."

Su Xiaoxiao said: "In short, it's right to get paid for your own labor. Don't feel sorry for the inconvenience or ashamed. If there is anything in the family that needs to be sent to you, it's that if Dun Dun's legs are always bad, don't drag it and let him He will go to the army hospital for treatment as soon as possible, and I will go back and tell Hancheng."

Zhong Huiming's tears are about to flow out. During this time, she has seen too many human affections, especially her own man who doesn't work. Others don't know that she resigned. They thought she lost her job in the state-run shopping mall. Those relatives were afraid of her. It's like coming to the door to borrow money. Seeing that their family is avoiding Zeji, Su Xiaoxiao, a neighbor who has been with them for a few years, can treat them so well. This contrast is really...

"Thank you for laughing. Dad Dun Dun has seen a doctor, and it is just some sequelae. It will be uncomfortable when the weather changes. If you apply medicine and take good care of it, you will be fine."

Su Xiaoxiao nodded: "I should go back and cook for the children. Next time, let Dun Dun Yaya come back to find rice balls to play with."

The small rice ball also said: "Yes, Aunt Zhong, let them remember to come and play with me when they are free."

Zhong Huiming said: "Yes, I will come here every Sunday, laughing. Next time, I will ask my relatives to bring some suitable clothes for you from Winter City, which is close to Guang City, and the styles are also very novel."

Su Xiaoxiao: "Then I will thank you first. In fact, you can also try to sell the clothes of adults."

Zhong Huiming said a little: "Yes, when the children's clothes are almost sold out, I will buy some adults' clothes."

Su Xiaoxiao: "Goodbye then, and say hello to your family."

...

Leaving the small market, the rice ball walked backwards in front, tilted his head to look at Su Xiaoxiao: "Mom, you are really a kind and kind person, you are good to everyone, you know a lot, you know, I am very young. I suspected that you were the little fairy sent by my mother to protect me and Xiaodoubao, otherwise I wouldn't believe that there is such a good stepmother as you in this world."

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and looked at the big cub: "My good cub, be careful and walk well." He still holds a pineapple in his hand, it would be terrible if he fell.

The rice ball turned back and walked side by side with Su Xiaoxiao, and said seriously: "Mom, I'm serious, if the person my father married wasn't you, I might not be the Korean rice ball I am now, and I might become a rotten rice ball and a stinky rice ball. Cats and dogs don't eat that kind of thing when you throw them in the trash."

As the rice ball gets bigger and more sensible, the more he understands that Su Xiaoxiao is a good stepmother. He and Doubao often forget that she is actually their stepmother. He still feels that he has two biological mothers, one who gave birth to them and the other who gave birth to them. Raising them is just as good.

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "You may also meet a better stepmother than me and become a better rice ball. Everyone wants to grab a bite of the sweet pastry." Su Xiaoxiao also often forgets She is a stepmother, and she is raised as her own son anyway. Rice balls and beanbags are really good, more like little angels given to her by God.

Onigiri shook his head and said firmly: "No mother, there will be no better mother than you in this world."

Su Xiaoxiao rubbed the cub's head: "Rice ball, in fact, mother often thinks that you and Xiaodoubao are the little angels that the old man gave to mother. You are so caring and good, and mother also thinks that you are the best cubs in the world. cub."

The little rice ball grinned, the lips red, teeth white boy smiled brighter than the sun: "Then mother, did you decide to marry your father because you liked me and Xiaodoubao too much?"

Susu smiled and embarrassed, time is really a good medicine, the little rice ball has already forgotten that she was a black, dirty and thin stinky rice ball. She has a bad temper and is very careful. She almost didn't marry their father because they wanted to go back on it.

But can Su Xiaoxiao say that? Of course she can't say that.

"Little fairy refuses to answer this mortal question, little angel, hurry up, let's go home and make pineapple sweet and sour pork!"
