Qin Mei carried the bowls and eggs from the pot to the dining table. The congee paired well with the pickled vegetables, making for an appetizing meal. The pickles had been made by Second Granny and were quite delicious.
After finishing breakfast and washing the dishes, Qin Mei locked the kitchen door, then locked the main door of the house as well. She was getting ready to go call Jie Jingshan to go grocery shopping.
Qin Mei grabbed the money and ration tickets and was about to leave with Jie Jingshan to buy groceries when Second Granny arrived at the Jie Family's home with Granny Yu. Both women were carrying groceries.
"Fourth Wife of Jing, Jing Qi, are you two going out?" Second Granny asked, jogging over to meet them as she saw them leaving.
"Second Granny, I'm taking Jing Qi to buy groceries," Qin Mei said with a smile. Her gaze flickered when she saw Granny Yu behind Second Granny, and she greeted her, "Granny."
