Brief introduction to family life Our actuary.

My mother has eight brothers and sisters. She is the fifth child. She has read eight books, two more than her sister, learned basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and is good at verbal and mental arithmetic. She also recited many small books.

You can imagine how difficult it is for an actuary who has only read eight books, but my mother has really become an actuary. She can calculate RMB accurately. Of course, the title of actuary has to be quoted, because she is just living carefully.

If you haven't experienced the material shortage period before the 1990s, it may be difficult for you to understand the true meaning of hard work, plain living and thrift.

But it doesn't matter. Go to the supermarket to buy food with my mother once, and maybe you will feel hard, simple and frugal.

One day, after taking my son to the community hospital for vaccination, I pushed my son's mount and took him to a large supermarket. The supermarket is very close to the community hospital, on the same side of the same road, and the linear distance is less than 200 meters. Every time I finish vaccinating my son, I will accompany him to the supermarket for a while. I'm worried that he will hate me when he grows up, and he will only take him for an injection instead of playing with him.

My mother asked me out when I went out in the morning. She will come to the supermarket to find us when she has finished shopping. Everyone must be confused. My mother can accompany us to vaccinate our son first and then go to the supermarket together. There are almost all kinds of vegetables in the supermarket. It's so convenient. There is no need to buy food before going to the supermarket. There's no need to bother anyone.

I used to think mom was a little confused, but she wasn't. She still has her reasons for doing so.

Mother likes to shop around for food. Where the food is good and the price is cheap, she will buy it. Various vegetable markets, supermarkets and meat stalls have mushroomed. Almost every day, there are special dishes with good appearance, and the types of special dishes in different stores are different. I go to several stores and eat several kinds of vegetables every day, but I like one-stop shopping and don't like taking my son to the vegetable market. I think the vegetable market is a bit messy. In order to save money and not disturb me, before we take our son out to play, my mother will buy delicious food in advance, take it home and pick us up again.

Before my mother came to the supermarket, I had bought a water duck. I was going to fry it at noon. I met my mother at the super gate after I bought the bill. Suddenly, I thought it was good to stew white radish with duck, so I gave my son to my mother and planned to go back to the supermarket to buy white radish. My mother waved her hand and told me calmly that I was afraid not to buy radishes. Let's leave now. There are many places to sell vegetables ahead. In my impression, no matter which way I go back from the supermarket to my home, there are not many places where I can buy food. Since my mother said so, let's go. Her old man can't be wrong.

Sure enough, just a few steps away from the supermarket, there is a butcher shop (I used to sell snacks and have a membership card). I was sharp-eyed and saw a bunch of glistening radishes in it, so I told my mother that there were white radishes in it. Although my mother was old, she moved quickly. Before I knew it, she had moved quickly and lightly, entered the store, looked at the pile of radishes, and then picked one.

I am smiling with my son in my arms. If I was not careful, my mother came to me empty-handed

What happened? Mom, why don't you buy radishes?

Go ahead and have a look.

Mother couldn't say anything, just walked forward. What medicine is sold in gourd? White radish is not fresh? Or is mom broke? But I have a cell phone. Even without my cell phone, I can still brush my face. No, it must be that the price of this radish is not to her taste. Hehe, you can still guess. I smiled.

When we come to the crossroads, we can reach Xinzhou vegetable market by walking on, but my mother took us to the left at the crossroads and turned the corner to the market opposite Xinzhou basketball court. There is a shop selling vegetables and fruits almost opposite the middle line of the basketball court. Generally, I only consider whether there are delicious fruits in it, but my mother pays great attention to her special dishes.

Sure enough, there is a special taro at the door, 2.68 yuan per catty, and then there is a special white radish, 0.98 yuan per catty.

Look, I told you. Just now, that store was 2.98 yuan a catty, but now it's only 0.98 yuan, which is even better than there. Save a few dollars by buying a radish.

I have to admire my mother. There are more than a dozen shops around, and which one has special dishes and what prices are clear. After a year, you can save 10 thousand yuan in living expenses if you say less.

Don't think that my mother only recognizes cheap food. She only goes to big supermarkets to buy meat products with guaranteed quality.

My mother's level of buying vegetables has definitely reached the level of an actuary. Of course, it is "fine" and it is a "calculation" of careful calculation.
