After Li Xia took out the real money, the salesperson's attitude changed and became more polite.

The surrounding customers also looked sideways.

Malted milk is a rare thing in this era. It is like modern instant milk powder, instant coffee and other snacks. What is contained in the red and white tin can is not only a symbol of quality, but also a symbol of nutrition.

Most families are reluctant to buy it

"Malted milk without a ticket costs 50 cents, a can of 3 yuan and 50 cents."

Li Xia took out the money and reached out to take over a heavy can of malted milk.

Finally, Li Xia did not forget to buy snacks for the two little guys at home.

She bought twenty double happiness candies for eight cents, a total of Twenty-five cents.

Li Xia didn't buy more. Children can't eat too much sweets, as they will get tooth decay. He also bought half a catty of peach cakes, which cost 40 cents a catty and cost 20 cents.

When Li Xia came out of the supply and marketing cooperative , carrying a full load of things tied with two hemp ropes.

He walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative, returned to the pancake shop, put the two things tied with hemp ropes on the cart and fixed them.

The owner of the pancake shop widened his eyes and said in surprise:" How many things did you buy?"

This is not just for the New Year or the festival, buying big and small bags, so rich?

Seeing that Li Xia is wearing a coarse linen shirt, and the clothes are patched, can he be a rich person?

The owner of the pancake shop is deeply doubtful.

Li Xia calmly He smiled and said,"I bought some food and daily necessities."

Waving to the owner of the pancake shop, Li Xia pushed the trolley and left.

When passing by the meat joint factory, he happened to see the pork shop closing its stall.

There was still a lot of pork left in the newspaper that was not sold out.

At a glance, They were all red and lean.

Li Xia’s heart moved and he walked over quickly.

"Stall owner, how do you sell this meat?"

"Are there any meat tickets?"

The stall owner stopped, looked up at Li Xia and asked.

Li Xia frowned and shook his head.

He really didn't have any meat tickets.

Seeing Li Xia shaking his head, the stall owner said:"One piece of fat meat, ninety-five cents of lean meat, do you want it?"

These days, every household in Shangrong Village has no fat in their stomachs.

If you buy fat meat, you can boil it for cooking and eat lard residue. The price is naturally more expensive than lean meat.

Li Xia looked at the pork and felt sad.

There is already some meat at home. They haven't eaten meat for half a year, so they felt sorry for Chu Mengxi and the two milk dumplings.

Especially Chu Mengxi, who was still working hard in the textile factory every day.

Li Xia's heart was severely pinched.

It was all his fault!

Their suffering, It's all his own fault!

Li Xia said to the meat stall owner:"Two pounds of lean meat and one pound of fat meat."

The two milk dumplings at home are as thin as bean sprouts, but they eat too little meat.

Li Xia made up his mind that from now on, the family must have meat every day, and raise the mother and daughter to be fat and healthy.

"OK!"

The pork stall owner picked up the meat chopping knife and worked quickly and accurately. He cut two large pieces of meat in one go, weighed them, wrapped them in newspapers, and handed them to Li Xia.

"Three dollars in total!"

Li Xia paid the money, took the meat, and then glanced at the sky.

It was almost time.

He pushed the cart towards the Yongshun Textile Factory.

At this time, Chu Mengxi had almost finished work.

Li Xia came to the textile factory. At the gate.

Uncle Yang, the gatekeeper, recognized Li Xia. He was the young man who came to deliver food to his wife at noon. He also brought two babies with him.

Uncle Yang was deeply impressed by Li Xia.

Uncle Yang said doubtfully:"Hey , Young man, you were not here at noon, why are you here again now?"

Li Xia parked the cart next to the guard room, took out a pack of"peonies" from his pocket, and took out one.

He grinned, showing his white teeth, handed the cigarette over, and said:"Uncle, come and smoke. A cigarette."

Uncle Yang's eyes lit up when he saw it was Peony cigarette.

Oh, what a cigarette. This young man is so generous.

These days, ordinary people smoke civilian cigarettes that cost one or two cents a pack, such as Dagang cigarettes and swimming cigarettes. , economical cigarettes, golden leaf...

This peony cigarette is a good cigarette, and it costs more than 60 cents a pack.

""Peony" is known as"Little China". It has a smooth taste, soft smoke and clean aftertaste. Compared with those common people's cigarettes, it is a grade higher.

Uncle Yang himself only smokes economy cigarettes that cost eight cents a pack. He took it Smoke, Uncle Yang chuckled, put the cigarette across his nose and inhaled, then knocked it on the back of his hand, and was about to light a cigarette.

Li Xia had already lit a match and leaned over.

Uncle Yang nodded towards Li Xia , light it up happily, take a sip

"Hmm...comfortable."

The match was not extinguished yet, so Li Xia took out a cigarette and lit it.

The two of them smoked and chatted.

In Li Xia's body, she still has some craving for cigarettes.

This pack of peonies was stolen from Chu Mengxi the day before yesterday. I bought it with ten yuan of my hard-earned money for a long time.

At that time, Li Xia was extravagant. He spent ten yuan on cigarettes, restaurants, and gambling in one day!

Chu Mengxi didn’t know how many times she would have to eat such expensive cigarettes. Only in this way could he save the corn.

Thinking of this, Li Xia's heart seemed to be pricked by a needle.

He could only use chatting to cover up his mood.

Li Xia and Uncle Yang chatted one after another, and at the same time, he observed the situation inside the door from the corner of his eye..Uncle

Yang extended his thumb towards Li Xia and said with a smile:"Xiao Li, you are a very nice young man. You even come to pick up your wife from work.""

The janitor, who had been in contact with Li Xia twice, realized that Li Xia was really the husband of the factory girl Chu Mengxi.

Uncle Yang didn't think of Li Xia as that kind of bastard.

If Li Xia It was really like the rumors. How could he deliver food to his wife and pick her up from work?

This makes no sense at all.

In short, Li Xia had already left a good impression in Uncle Yang's heart.

After a while, the textile factory Inside, workers were coming home from work one after another.

Li Xia waited for a while, finished smoking a cigarette, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, crushed it with his toes, raised his head, and saw a familiar figure not far away.

Li Xia Xia was stunned for a moment, feeling a little nervous in her heart.

In her previous life, Li Xia was in a high position and was used to the wind and rain. What kind of person has she never seen?

After being reborn, at this moment, facing Chu Mengxi, her heart could not be calm. Thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump.!

Heartbeating very fast!

Chu Mengxi and two female workers from the same textile room walked out together.

She was the most conspicuous one, with a beautiful and refined face, and a slim and well-shaped figure, like a beautiful lily.

They Before they reached the gate, there was a young man behind him. He mustered up the courage to run forward and block the way of Chu Mengxi and others.

This young man's target was undoubtedly Chu Mengxi, the factory beauty.

Li Xia watched intently, and only From a distance, he could see Chu Mengxi exchanging a few words with the young man.

But Li Xia definitely couldn't hear the specific content of what was said.

After Chu Mengxi said a few words expressionlessly, the young man's face was full of disappointment. He left in a lustful manner.

The young man's dejected look caused the two female workers beside Chu Mengxi to shake their heads and sigh.

This stupid young man was too impatient. Chu Mengxi had not even divorced yet, so she couldn't wait to come. Pursued.

Even if Chu Mengxi has that intention, she is still a married woman after all. Can she agree to you?

Do you want to lose her reputation?

She really doesn’t know how to choose the time.

And Chu Mengxi has encountered many such situations. Time.

Although she was annoyed, there was nothing she could do about it.

She was not a casual woman, nor could any man make her agree with just a few words.

When she was about to reach the door, Chu Mengxi's steps suddenly stopped, her delicate body She trembled slightly.

She suddenly saw the man standing next to the guard room.

The man's dark eyes were deep and complicated, and he looked at her blankly.

Chu Mengxi's face changed. What just happened...him Did you all see it?

The air between the two seemed to be still for a few seconds.

The female worker beside Chu Mengxi noticed something strange about Chu Mengxi and followed Chu Mengxi’s gaze...

Standing at the gate Yes, isn't it Chu Mengxi's street hustler husband, Li Xia...

He came to deliver food to Chu Mengxi at noon, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

Now that he is off work, what is he doing here?

At this time, Li Xia had already recovered. In a good mood, he showed a warm smile and stepped forward.

Just now, Chu Mengxi decisively rejected a young suitor, which made Li Xia feel a little better.

No matter what, Chu Mengxi is still his wife.

The two of them lived under the same roof, and Li Xia... still knew Chu Mengxi very well!

He looked at Chu Mengxi and said,"Are you off work?"

Li Xia spoke naturally and easily on the surface, but sweat was already forming on his palms. He was very nervous inside.

After decades, he finally saw her up close and said his first words to her. Words, all of this is true……
