Seeing Zhao Heping's calm answer, Zhu Chunmei breathed a sigh of relief and smiled sheepishly at her fuss.

Then said: "That's good."

After saying that, without waiting for Zhao Heping's response, he returned to his door and watched his son drawing on the ground with an indifferent expression, as if nothing happened.

However, Zhao Heping knew that Zhu Chunmei's call to him was a kind gesture, so he smiled and left with his net bag.

When I go out, I go to the non-staple food store, wait for the people coming out, and shamelessly approach them and ask them one by one what they bought.

Finally, I finally asked someone who was buying a white rabbit. I tried to persuade him, but in the end my child was so greedy that I spent [-] cents to buy two pieces of white rabbit from that person.

But even if the price is ten times higher, no one else is willing to sell it.

These days, due to the planned economy, supply is tight in Shanghai, where White Rabbit toffee is produced, let alone other places.

What's more, because there are too few, they are not available to ordinary people at all. It is not enough to have money and candy coupons, but also to have notes.

All three are indispensable.

Zhao Heping was lucky to be able to buy two pieces today.

He bought the toffee for Zhu Chunmei's child Shuan Zhu.

It can be regarded as a thank you to the other party for his kindness.

After buying the toffee, he went to the market, bought vegetables and meat, stuffed the meat into the vegetables and rolled it up so that it was completely invisible from the outside, and then he carried it back to the courtyard.

Seeing him, many people hid far away. The first reason was that they were afraid of getting involved with the defector's family and would be investigated. The second reason was that something happened to Sun Baocai was quite sinister, and they were all frightened from the bottom of their hearts.

However, even if these people were hiding far away, Zhao Heping could still feel the eyes staring at him from behind.

Back in the backyard, Zhu Chunmei and Xiao Shuanzhu were no longer in the yard.

Zhao Heping originally wanted to ask Shuan Zhu to come out and give him the white rabbit.

But thinking that it was inappropriate, that people would pay attention to her, and that there would be rumors, it was better to leave it to his mother and let her find an opportunity to give Shuan Zhu.

With this thought in mind, I picked up my net bag and opened the door directly to go home.

"Mom, I'm back."

As soon as he entered the door, Zhao Heping saw that Zhu Chunmei was also at his home, probably chatting with his mother.

Shuan Zhu was sleeping on his mother's lap and didn't wake up despite being disturbed.

"Come back?" Zhu Chunmei raised her head and greeted Zhao Heping with a smile.

Zhao Heping nodded and put the net bag on the table.

Then he took out a piece of white rabbit from his body and handed it to Zhu Chunmei: "Sister-in-law, I went out to buy groceries and happened to meet a classmate of mine. His relatives from Shanghai came over and brought me a piece of white rabbit."

"Give it to Shuan Zhu."

"All the kids like the toffee."

He bought two toffees, originally planning to give them both to Shuan Zhu, but after he came back, he changed his mind.

White rabbits are so scarce these days, my mother might not even eat them.

Although he firmly believed that he would not lack anything in the future, right now, he just wanted his mother to have a taste.

So I put my hand into my pocket and took out only one piece.

However, this is something that ordinary people cannot eat.

Zhu Chunmei did not expect that Zhao Heping would go out for a trip and not only buy groceries, but also give her a White Rabbit toffee.

He quickly refused and said: "Peace, no need. You can give the White Rabbit candy to my aunt. I still have the candy I bought for Shuan Zhu at home."

Xu Xiuying immediately said: "Your candy belongs to your family. It was given to Shuan Zhu by Heping. As a mother, you can't say no for your child."

"Take it quickly."

As she said this, she reached out and took the White Rabbit toffee. She was afraid that Zhu Chunmei would be embarrassed to ask for it, so she put it directly into Shuan Zhu's hand.

Shuan Zhu was in a daze. When he heard about eating sweets, he blinked his eyes and said half asleep: "Mom, I want to eat sweets."

Now, Zhu Chunmei had no excuses.

I had no choice but to pat my son’s butt lightly and say, “Okay, eat some candy.”

"But this is what your Uncle Heping gave you. Thank you first."

As he spoke, he pointed at Zhao Heping.

Zhang Shuanzhu woke up completely and looked at Zhao Heping with doubtful eyes. He did not recognize Zhao Heping.

When Zhao Heping left, he was just over a year old and didn't remember anything at all.

When Zhao Heping came back these days, he had not formally met Zhao Heping, so he looked at it for a long time, hesitated for a while, and then whispered: "Thank you, uncle."

"Be good." Zhao Heping rubbed the kid's head, then went over to take out the vegetables from the net bag and prepared to choose vegetables for cooking.

In fact, you shouldn’t use a net bag when shopping for groceries. The sun is strong during the day, the sun is shining on the road, the wind is blowing and the soil is blowing, and it’s not clean.

There was originally a vegetable basket at home, but he couldn't find it for a while, so he settled for the next best thing and used a net bag.

There are also a lot of autumn vegetables. He bought spinach, eggplant, and tomatoes.

In the middle of the dish, there was a piece of pork belly.

There was an egg in each pocket of his clothes.

Zhao Heping planned to use spinach and eggs to make soup, and eggplant and meat to make an eggplant roast. Not only would the eggplant be soft and delicious, but the pork belly inside would be fragrant but not greasy, which would be delicious and go well with rice.

However, Zhao Heping did not reveal the meat and eggs in front of Zhu Chunmei and Shuan Zhu.

It’s not that I’m afraid that people will look at me and get greedy.

The main reason is that I still owe people so much money, and I am a meat-eater and an egg-eater, so I am afraid that people will feel uncomfortable if they see it.

Furthermore, Zhao Heping was also afraid that Zhu Chunmei would tell anyone.

After all, there are many things in the courtyard that make people laugh and make people laugh. Anyone who eats meat will feel like eating it on them, secretly gnashing their teeth in hatred.

It's okay for other people to eat meat, but I'm afraid someone will do harm to his family.

Zhao Heping didn't want to cause trouble at this juncture.

Zhu Chunmei talked to Xu Xiuying for a while, then took her son home on the pretext of cooking.

After the others left, Zhao Heping took out the meat and eggs.

Then he went over and stuffed a piece of White Rabbit candy into his mother's hand.

"Mom, this is specially reserved for you, try it."

Xu Xiuying didn't expect that her son would leave White Rabbit toffee for her, and she felt a little excited for a moment.

"Peace, you can eat it. Mom doesn't like sweets."

This is the reason again.

Zhao Heping was 1 in disbelief.

In the previous life, every time he ate delicious food, such as fish, his mother would say: "Peace, if you eat fish, my mother would love to chew the fish bones, they taste good."

"Peace, you eat meat, mom doesn't want to eat meat."

"Heping, you eat shrimp, mom doesn't like this stuff."

His mother said she didn't like to eat anything delicious, but he actually believed it.

It wasn’t until I grew up that I realized that I didn’t like to eat and didn’t want to eat.

It is clearly a heavy maternal love.

Because she loves him, her mother leaves all the good things to him.

In the days when his father was away, the few memories of eating good food all ended up in his stomach because his mother "didn't like to eat".
