Chapter 1379 Recalling the Bitter Past and Thinking of the Sweet Past 6
Liu Guixiang was stunned, then knelt down and kowtowed to Feng Qingxue.
"Thank you, sister!" Not only did she give money, but she also gave her food coupons, which could allow her to live for a long time.
Feng Qingxue waved her hand and pulled her up, "Don't say that, and don't kowtow casually. I can't help you anywhere else. I believe you don't want to go back and face that kind of hateful person, so find a way to keep yourself alive."
After saying that, she turned and left.
Meeting someone like Liu Guixiang and hearing about her experience, Feng Qingxue was in no mood to continue shopping.
It has been 20 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the slogan of "Women can hold up half the sky" has been shouted very loudly, but the idea of favoring men over women is still deeply rooted in the hearts of many people. Liu Guixiang's husband is simply not a human being, and he is terribly vicious.
Carrying a bamboo basket of supplies home, Feng Qingxue told Lu Tianzhi and Guan Yu that she bought them at a high price on the black market.
There are people selling New Year goods in the black market. Some farmers will send their chickens, ducks, geese and eggs to the black market to sell at high prices. They will also sell some grains, which are much more expensive than usual. Farmers who are short of money are naturally happy to do so. Some people will go to other places to sell pig heads. Lu Tianzhi and Guan Yu followed their brother to visit the black market after growing up, so they naturally understand this situation.
No matter how strict the country is, the people will buy and sell when they need it, and the development of the black market will not be stopped at all.
In fact, they believe everything Feng Qingxue says, but because they are older, they feel that their aunt is really powerful, with all kinds of means and many ways.
So, they quickly took the things to help deal with them and prepare for tomorrow.
Feng Qingxue brought back a chicken, a big carp, some pork belly, ribs, chicken, duck and goose eggs, cakes and candies, etc. While the two nephews were dealing with chicken, fish, meat and eggs, she began to prepare fried goods for the New Year.
It is not allowed to eat and drink a lot during the New Year, so they can only do it secretly and start frying things when everyone is asleep at night.
Lu Jiang came back and sent his two nephews back to sleep. He and his wife worked together.
Two baskets were full of carrot balls fried in beef oil and rice and flour fruits fried in vegetable oil. Feng Qingxue then made some peanut candy and told her husband about what happened to Liu Guixiang today.
"Tell me, why are people's hearts so vicious? Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs!" Feng Qingxue said.
"As you once said, gender equality will take a long time to develop. Didn't you still not achieve equality at that time? The idea of favoring boys over girls formed over thousands of years cannot be eradicated in ten or eight years." Lu Jiang poked the fire in the stove and saw that a few pieces of firewood were not burned out. He took them out and stuck them into the pile of ash below. The fire on the firewood quickly went out.
Feng Qingxue sighed and put some of the fried food into the space to prevent it from becoming less crispy if left outside.
Lu Jiang pinched a meatball and stuffed it into his mouth, "It's as delicious as the last time I fried it."
"If you like it, eat more. Don't go to the cafeteria for lunch tomorrow. I'll ask Tianzhi to bring you dumplings. Come back early to have the New Year's Eve dinner." It's so inconvenient not to have a holiday during the Spring Festival. It's very difficult for a family to have a reunion dinner.
As a result, the next night, Lu Jiang didn't come back no matter how long he waited.
"You guys play at home first, I'll go see what's going on." Feng Qingxue took off her apron and put the prepared New Year's Eve dinner on the grate of the big pot, with half a pot of boiling water at the bottom, and covered the pot to keep the temperature of the dishes.
