Chapter 87 The sour orange

Ye Mingyuan opened the cover on the backpack and took out a basket from the top of the basket, which contained six kilograms of eggs.

Su Jiao couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth when she saw the eggs. It seemed that she and Comrade Lao Ye had a tacit understanding. In the morning, she just thought that there were no eggs at home, and he bought them back in the afternoon.

"Why did you buy so many?" Mother Su was a little surprised to see so many eggs.

The eggs laid by the Su family's hens some time ago were all sent here to be eaten by Su's mother. However, as the weather became colder and colder, the hens' egg production became lower and lower, and they even laid eggs for several days. Not an egg.

So Mother Su didn't say anything about not buying eggs. She was just a little confused about why Ye Mingyuan bought so many eggs at once.

"Mom, buy more at one time so you don't have to run back and forth all the time. Also, I plan to pickle some salted eggs and save them for dinner in the morning. But I don't know how to do it. Mom, you can teach me tomorrow." Ye Mingyuan said.

"Okay, it's very simple. Mom will teach you how to do it tomorrow morning." Mother Su saw that Ye Mingyuan had his own plans and said nothing more.

Ye Mingyuan moved the basket containing eggs to one side, then took out two kilograms of red dates, two packets of brown sugar, four boxes of cream, a bag of pears, and a small golden turtle toy the size of a ring box from the basket, and finally took out another A bag of oranges. All these things were piled on the kang.

Ye Mingyuan thought that there were still a lot of cans of candy at home, so he didn't buy any more.

Mother Su was already stunned by the pile of things Ye Mingyuan bought.

"Have oranges been sold in the city? They weren't there last time I went there." Su Jiao asked with surprise when she saw the oranges.

"I heard from the salesperson that it just arrived in the past two days." Ye Mingyuan said with a smile when he saw Su Jiao like it.

"To buy so many things, do you bring enough tickets?" Su Jiao visually inspected the pears and oranges, each of which weighed more than ten kilograms. She knew that her family did not have so many non-staple food tickets, so she asked doubtfully. .

"I went to see Meng Long at noon, and took some food stamps and money and asked him to help exchange some non-staple food stamps and daily necessities stamps with his colleagues." Ye Mingyuan took out an orange from his net pocket and explained while peeling it.

"Mingyuan, so many things must cost a lot of money." Su's mother calmed down and asked, looking at the pile of things on the kang.

"Mom, I didn't spend much, mainly because I bought a lot of fruits, which are very cheap. Dr. Li also told me before that pregnant women should eat more fruits, so I bought more." Ye Mingyuan finished peeling the fruits. He broke the peeled orange into two halves and handed them to Su's mother and Su Jiao.

Su Jiao took the orange with a smile and tasted a piece. She couldn't help but frown and tremble. It was so sour, and the taste was far inferior to the oranges of later generations, but Su Jiao felt a little addictive for some reason.

In fact, Su Jiao has been secretly eating some fruits from the space since she was pregnant, such as grapes and oranges. She asked Ye Mingyuan to buy fruits simply because she wanted him to buy them for him and Ye Yao to eat. There was no way, she couldn't feed them from the space, otherwise her secret would be revealed.

Mother Su took the orange and was about to take a bite when she saw that Su Jiao's sour facial features were distorted. She was a little afraid to try it, "Jiao Jiao, is it delicious?"

"It's very sour, but I can accept it, and it feels more delicious the more I eat it." In just a few seconds, Su Jiao had already finished half of the orange.

After listening to Su Jiao's words, Su's mother plucked up the courage to taste a piece, and then she was so sour that she doubted her life.

He quickly stuffed the remaining oranges into Su Jiao's hands, "Jiaojiao, if you like eating, eat these too. It's so sour that my mother's teeth will fall."

Su Jiao saw that Su's mother really didn't like to eat, so she was not polite. She picked up the orange and continued to stuff it into her mouth. After a while, she also finished half of it.

Even as she watched, Su Mu felt her stomach became sour, and with lingering fear, she picked up the cup, drank some water, and pressed it down.

Ye Mingyuan felt so happy when he saw that Su Jiao liked to eat so much.

Originally, he only bought two kilograms of oranges at the supply and marketing cooperative. When he tasted them, he found that they were very sour. He then remembered that Su Jiao liked sour foods recently, so he quickly went back and bought more.

After Su Jiao finished eating the oranges, she became interested in the toys Ye Mingyuan bought again.

The little golden turtle Ye Mingyuan bought was packed in a transparent box the size of a ring box. The head, tail and limbs of the turtle can be moved. Shake the box gently and the little turtle inside will move as if alive. Su Jiao's childishness grew when she saw it, and she had a great time playing.

Mother Su looked at Su Jiao's childish movements with a doting look on her face.

"Mom, let's eat potato stewed pork ribs tonight."

Su Jiao looked up and saw Su's mother's eyes and felt a little embarrassed. Then she remembered that Ye Mingyuan was going to the cowshed to deliver something at night, so she quickly changed the subject.

"Okay, then mom is going to make braised pork ribs."

Mother Su was very happy when she heard that Su Jiao wanted to eat ribs. She had been vomiting everything she ate a few days ago, but now she started to order meat and vegetables. It seemed that her health was getting better and better. Mother Su looked out the window and saw that it was almost time to start cooking, so she hurried to the kitchen.

Ye Mingyuan began to put away the things he bought in the county town, and while doing so, he discussed what to give to Su's mother and the cowshed.

After discussing the matter, the couple decided to give one box of cream to each family, one pound of eggs to each family, not to give out the oranges because they were too sour, three to the Su family and two to the cowshed for pears, and then asked Mother Su to bring a pound of red dates to Sister-in-law Su. .

Sister-in-law Su was physically injured when she gave birth to her first baby, and she never got pregnant again in the following years, which was not easy.

Su's mother told her that Sister-in-law Su felt that she was taking advantage and was embarrassed to give her money. Su Jiao naturally felt quite comfortable. Since they got along so well, Su Jiao was not a stingy person, so she was naturally willing to help. Just to help.

Su Jiao planned to send a catty of jujubes to Sister-in-law Su to replenish her qi and blood. It happened that the food at home had been much better recently, so she might be pregnant again after recuperating.

Seeing that Ye Mingyuan had finished his work, Su Jiao asked about Meng Long's family again: "Mingyuan, have you visited Meng Long's parents today?"

"I've been there. My uncle and aunt are doing well, and they are still so enthusiastic towards me." Ye Mingyuan said with a smile.

Su Jiao felt relieved when she heard this. Ye Mingyuan told her last night that he would go to the county town to visit the Meng family today.

In fact, Meng Long's family had helped their family so much, and Ye Mingyuan should have come to visit her elders to express her gratitude. She just found out she was pregnant some time ago, and Ye Mingyuan had been busy taking care of Su Jiao and never visited her.

She had learned from Meng Long that his parents had returned, but they hadn't come to the door for such a long time. Su Jiao was still worried that Meng's parents would have objections.

Around five o'clock, Ye Yao came back jumping up and down.

When Su Jiao handed the little turtle to her, the little guy was so happy that he jumped up and down with the little turtle in his arms. He even gave Su Jiao a sweet kiss, and then pushed his little butt aside to her new baby. The toys are gone.

Dinner was stewed pork ribs with potatoes, and two-faced pancakes soaked in soup. It was a great meal, and the whole family was full of food.

When Su's mother came home after dinner, Ye Mingyuan handed the packed things to Su's mother. Mother Su was a little embarrassed. She ate and took food from her daughter and son-in-law's house every day. Mother Su opened her mouth, wanting to refuse, but she was afraid that Su Jiao would be angry.

Su Jiao saw what Su's mother was thinking and said quickly: "Hey, from ancient times to the present, it is only natural that children should be filial to their parents. If the parents refuse, it will break the child's heart."

Su's mother was stunned after hearing Su Jiao's words. After a moment, she came to her senses and said with a smile: "You little clever guy, okay, I won't be polite to you."

Su Jiao was happy.

After seeing off Su's mother, it was already dark. Ye Mingyuan put the things he had packed and a bowl of pork ribs stewed with potatoes into the basket, and quietly went to the cowshed while it was dark.
