"Mom, I'm going to town in a bit, need to buy anything?" Lian Manman consulted with Lady Zhang.
Yesterday, Lian Manman had already bought five jin of soybean oil, a jar of salt, and some daily necessities. Lian Shouxin had also moved a bag of millet and a bag of millet flour from the Upper Room, which was their monthly ration.
"Manman, you bought soybean oil yesterday, but we still don't have lard. Go to the butcher's and see if there's any pork lard to buy a piece, so we can simmer in lard," suggested Lady Zhang after some thought.
"Okay." Lian Manman took some money from the kang cabinet and asked Xiao Qi, "Xiao Qi, are you staying home with Mom, or going to town with your sister?"
Xiao Qi's big eyes whirled around; he really wanted to go to town with Lian Manman, but his assigned task was to stay with Lady Zhang.
"Mom, how about I... still stay with you at home," Xiao Qi said to Lady Zhang, but his big eyes clearly shone with a pleading light.
