The self-reversal of the cannon fodder fat wife

After Teng Ke left, Yinuo said to the two children, "Hurry up and put on your clothes. Mom will take you shopping."

When the two children heard that they were going to be taken to the prefecture, they changed their clothes as quickly as possible and followed Yinuo out.

Although their military village is in the suburbs, it is only two kilometers away from Pengcheng, and it only takes two cups of tea to walk there. However, the original owners were very lazy and only went there once a month, and every time they went there they had to take a ox cart.

This ox cart belongs to Zhou Baihu's family in the village. Old Man Zhou becomes the driver. He takes the village young and old to the city every day and charges a small fare of ten cents per person. Children under five years old are free of charge. The price is very fair and not expensive.

"Old Man Zhou, this is the travel expenses for our three children, mother and me. Please accept it." Yinuo politely handed the twenty cents to Old Man Zhou.

In the past, the original owner always acted as if others owed her money. She never said hello when riding in a car, and she would never take the children out. Every time she would throw ten cents to Old Man Zhou, she would just climb in and sit down.

You know, with the original owner's tonnage, one person takes up the space of two people. Every time she gets on the car, Father Zhou has to bring one less person. This honest country man, however, said nothing and would not blame her. As long as the time came, he would drive away without saying a word.

Yinuo's sudden change of attitude made Zhou Lao couldn't help but look at her: "You don't need that much, ten cents will be enough."

However, Yinuo was too embarrassed to give only ten coins: "Father Zhou, please accept it. I feel embarrassed to take up the place of two people."

After hearing what she said, Old Man Zhou stopped arguing in an unruly manner at the village entrance. He took the money and motioned for them to get in the car.

After they were seated, Father Zhou drove the ox cart and left immediately. Two people ran over, shouting "Wait, wait".

"It's full, full, wait for the next one."

Old Man Zhou shouted to the people behind him with full energy. After hearing what he said, the people behind him slowed down and waited where they were.

Originally, a carriage could seat five adults, but after Yinuo got on, there were only three adults and two children in the carriage. Seeing this situation, Yinuo felt embarrassed again.

It only takes three quarters of an hour (forty-five minutes) for a ox cart to reach Pengcheng. Old Man Zhou usually makes two trips to the city in the morning and two trips back to the village from the city in the afternoon.

"Dad, the three of us, mother and I, won't be back until the afternoon. Please reserve a seat for us." Yinuo reminded Dad Zhou before getting off the car.

Father Zhou nodded and said, "Wait outside the city gate at 3 p.m."

Yinuo agreed with a smile, silently calculating the time in his mind. Shenshi means three o'clock.

Coachmen would not enter the city because Pengcheng was a prefecture and there were too many people coming in and out every day. To enter and exit, one needed a pass and a household registration, and they had to queue up, so it took a lot of time to go in and out.

Therefore, the drivers of the ox carts would drop off their passengers outside the city gate, rest for a while, and then return to the village.

Today is not a market day, so there are not many people entering the city. It took me fifteen minutes (30 minutes) to queue up and finally get in.

As soon as he entered the city, Yinuo took his two children to the meat stall.

There was not much meat in ancient times. In a developed city like Pengcheng, every household could eat meat. She was really afraid that if she went too late, she would not be able to buy pork fat.

There is no soybean oil or peanut oil now, all the oil is pork fat. They never make a fire at home, so there is no oil at all.

Besides, oil is a basic need and I will use it every day, so I must buy more today.

Before she reached the meat stall, she saw from afar that there was only one piece of pork fat left, so Yinuo shouted, "Boss, please save the fat."

Before I saw the person, I heard his voice first.

Boss Zhu was so frightened that he looked around quickly to see which young lady was so smart.

After watching for a long time, he knew what was going on, because the fat woman was running towards him, dragging two skinny children. Don't be fooled by her fatness, she ran very fast.

"Hey, lady, are you a martial artist?" Boss Zhu looked at Yinuo who was panting and couldn't help but laughed and joked.

Yinuo was so tired that he bent down and took a deep breath. It took him a long time to find the strength to respond: "How can a martial artist have a body as fat as mine?"

The boss was shocked by Yinuo's words. Most women, even married women, would never complain about their body shape. But the woman in front of him was different. Not only did she not mind being fat, she was even optimistic.

"This lady is really smart."

Yinuo waved his hand and said, "Boss, you are too kind. I want all the pork fat."

Seeing that she was dressed in ordinary clothes, she was very straightforward and didn't ask the price when buying things: "This pig fat is thirty cents a pound, and this piece of pig fat weighs a full six pounds. Are you sure you want it all?"

Yinuo nodded solemnly: "I want them all." Then she picked up a pair of pig's trotters and asked the boss to weigh them together.

"This hoof is not valuable, it's all bones. No need to weigh it. I'll just charge you twenty cents." Boss Zhu was also very straightforward.

Yinuo was immediately overjoyed. What is a treasure in the eyes of modern people is nothing in the eyes of ancient people.

This pair of pig's trotters is enough for them to eat for two days. She doesn't need to go out tomorrow. Finally, she bought two large bones and pig liver. The whole basket of things cost only two hundred and thirty cents, which is not expensive at all.

After buying the meat, Yinuo immediately took the two children to the rice shop and bought some coarse noodles and some fine salt, as well as some soy sauce and vinegar. The former would be available tomorrow, so just buy a little to last for today, while the latter would last for a month, so it didn't matter if you bought more.

Then Yinuo took the two children to the grocery store and bought some bottles and jars, a few bowls, both large and small, and even cups. All in all, they spent one or two taels of silver.

At noon, they had a bowl of wonton noodles on the roadside, which made the two children very happy. They hadn't eaten meat for a long time, and finally they could eat meat.

What was even more unexpected to them was that in the afternoon Yinuo actually took them to buy two sets of clothes, which were ready-made clothes, and also bought them a pair of shoes.

In ancient times, not many people bought ready-made clothes. Rich families had embroiderers at home, while ordinary families had mothers and wives make clothes for their families. But Yinuo didn't know how to do it. She could still mend clothes, but making clothes was really difficult for her.

The two children have grown up, but they only have two sets of clothes. The original owner never bought them clothes. Their clothes were made by the original owner's mother before they came here. Half a year has passed, and the children have grown a lot, and their clothes no longer fit.

As for Teng Ke's clothes, although they would be distributed in the military camp, there was no inner clothing. Thinking of this, Yinuo bought another piece of cotton cloth and a few feet of floral cloth, intending to go back and study and make two sets of inner clothes for himself and Teng Ke.

The two children were really enlightened today. They watched the woman shopping along the way and followed her to get things. When she finally got on the car, the people in the village were shocked. They had never seen anyone shopping like this.
