Chapter 11 Buying groceries

Chapter 11 Buying groceries
Li Luo was stunned for a moment: "Send food? What food? Isn't it only nine o'clock?"

Xu Mei was also stunned: "Don't you know? Aunt Wang has to deliver meals to Brother Ling every day. Their farm is very busy every day. All the people who work with Brother Ling in the village have to deliver meals."

Li Luo nodded, but he didn't expect that Wang Xiumei would set such a big trap for him before leaving.

So she didn't tell me that she was going to deliver food to Ling Zhuoqun today, and when I went to deliver the food, she also reported me? How could it be so easy!
"Sister, I want to play with you." The boy from Xu Mei's family drooled, stretched out his hands, and flapped his legs to get off. Xu Mei couldn't stop him.

"Is this Yaya? She's dressed up like a doll. Did you dress her up, sister?" Xu Mei glanced at Yaya from a distance and found that Yaya was very different from the ones she had seen before.

When Aunt Wang first took care of her, she always looked dirty and her hair was tangled in clumps. But now, her little face is rosy and she has two pigtails. Except for not being able to speak, she is good in every way.

"Sister, you can just call me Luoluo. I want to ask you a favor. Is that okay with you?" Li Luo put down the hoe in her hand and said embarrassedly.

"Just because you call me sister, we are still neighbors. Just ask me if you can help me in any way." Xu Mei said with a firm look on her face and patted her chest.

"Please take care of Yaya for a while. I'll go buy some groceries and cook the meal to send to Brother Ling." Li Luo was embarrassed to trouble others.

"It's not that difficult. Just send Yaya over here. My boy likes to play with Yaya. If Aunt Wang didn't bring Yaya out often, I don't know how many times our Hutou would run to your house every day."

Xu Mei touched Hutou's little head and teased.

"Thank you, sister." Xu Mei's words also put Li Luo's worries to rest.

Li Luo sent Yaya to Xu Mei's house, and then he carried a basket to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy vegetables.

After arriving, Li Luo found that the fresh vegetables here had almost been sold out, and everyone got up early to buy vegetables at the market.

When Li Luo appeared in the vegetable market, several men immediately waved to her: "Girl, here, our vegetables are very fresh and the price is very cheap."

"I'll give you this bunch of Chinese cabbage for 1 cent, and these carrots for 1 cent each. How about that?" The man blinked at Li Luo, like a male peacock spreading his tail.

Li Luo also picked a few nearby shops and found that the vegetables here were indeed much fresher than those in the other shops. So he simply took out his wallet and took out a big Tuanjie.

The man didn't expect Li Luo to be so generous. It was just a two-cent item, but she took out ten dollars at once, and the man couldn't make the change for a while.

"Girl, why don't you go somewhere else to change it? I'm a small business here and can't make such a large change." The man smiled innocently.

Li Luo nodded. She had to buy some meat anyway. After all, in order to nourish Ling Zhuoqun's body, working on the farm was all hard work. How could she not eat meat for a meal?
Qiao Qian cut a piece of the best pork at the meat stall, planning to make braised pork. Coincidentally, she had eggs at home, so she could use two eggs to stew them.

A pound of pork belly only cost one dollar and fifty cents. Li Luo paid for it readily and bought a few green peppers from the man for another fifty cents.

Passing by the convenience store, Li Luo saw the Golden Monkey Milk Candy again. Isn’t this what he loved to eat when he was a child!
So Li Luo decisively placed an order for Golden Monkey milk candy and bear biscuits. Unexpectedly, these two things were more expensive than meat, and one pound cost five yuan.

But she had some money in her hand now, so she took out a big unity banknote and handed it to the owner.

Seeing that Li Luo was so generous, the shop owner reduced the price that was originally a little bit higher for Li Luo.

Before going home, Qiao Qian saw a fat woman being kicked out of the clothing store. "Bah! The quality of your fabrics is bad, and you are not allowed to tell others? I just tried it on, and the dress split along the side. Are you blaming me for ruining it?"

Li Ailian put her hands on her hips, looking like she was going to have a fight with the owner of the clothing store.

"Li Ailian, do you have any shame? Don't you have any idea of ​​your own body shape? I recommended a size to you, but you refused to listen and chose a smaller size. Now that your clothes are broken, you want to blame me?"

"Don't say anything, just pay me back!" The owner of the clothing store also had a loud voice and didn't tolerate Li Ailian's anger at all.

"Humph, I like your clothes because I think highly of you. Not only do you give me low-quality clothes to wear, but you also want me to pay you? Impossible!"

"I'm telling you, after today, I'm going to be the wife of the farm owner. Then, I'll buy out your store and kick you out. I'll see how arrogant you can be then!" Li Ailian spat at the owner of the clothing store and turned to leave.

Li Luo looked outside and found that the quality of the clothes in this clothing store was not as bad as Li Ailian said. On the contrary, the quality of the clothes in her era was much better than the clothes that would be worn out after just two days of wearing.

At least it's all made of cotton, so it's breathable and comfortable to wear in the summer.

She knows how to operate a sewing machine, so she can make two pieces of clothes for the child and Ling Zhuoqun.

As soon as she entered the room, she was almost knocked back two steps by Li Ailian's big and strong body. Her nose tip was sore and tears almost fell.

Li Ailian was already furious, and she was even more furious when she was bumped into: "Which bitch? Don't you have eyes? You almost bumped into me to death!"

After seeing Li Luo's innocent and lovely appearance, and then seeing the tears in her eyes, the disgust in her eyes became even stronger. Li Luo's dress did not look like that of a country girl: "Oh, I wonder where this rich girl came from."

"You can actually buy groceries? And you go to a clothing store to make clothes? Why don't you buy them at the department store in the city?"

Li Luo felt very far away from her, and the sour tone in Li Ailian's voice was like two jealous jars being overturned.

"I have money to buy clothes, unlike some people who wear out other people's clothes and then refuse to pay." Li Luo would not tolerate the foul-mouthed Li Ailian and directly retorted back.

"You! Who said I have no money! It's just that the clothes don't suit me and the quality is too poor. How can you blame me?" Li Ailian insisted that it was the poor quality of the clothes, and tried to clear herself of the blame in every word.

"Ha! You said my clothes are of poor quality, but I don't agree!" When the owner saw someone speaking for him, he became more confident and reached out to pick up the clothes that had just been torn by Li Ailian.

Tear and pull the clothes hard.

The owner's actions attracted many people to stop and watch.

Although the clothes were deformed during the pulling, they were restored to their original shape well afterwards. It was obviously not like what Li Ailian said, that the clothes were damaged because of poor quality.

The public has sharp eyes. The store owner has already proved that Li Ailian is absolutely not in the right this time.
