The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 180 Stealing Milk
The whole family happily had a celebratory meal. Liu Hua cooked personally and showed his skills to make his family feast.

Old Liu picked his teeth and said with satisfaction: "This kid usually hides his incompetence. During the Chinese New Year, the New Year's Eve dinner was not of this level. Today, my daughter-in-law is pregnant, so he brought out all his skills."

Liu Hua thought to himself, how could I bring out all my skills? Home cooking is just home cooking, but all the ingredients today were exchanged in the system. Products produced by the system must be top-notch.

Before leaving, my mother wanted to give Liu Hua two cans of milk powder, which was Qiangqiang’s patented product, specially made for his nutritional supplements.

"no need."

Liu Hua quickly stopped him. If he took it away, Qiangqiang would definitely hate him as his uncle.

"Mom, your son is an engineer now. It's not difficult for him to get milk powder. There's no need to steal Qiangqiang's food."

The mother thought about it and agreed that it was absolutely right. Her son was an engineer registered in the ministry, so it would be easy for him to get a few cans of milk powder.

The next day, as soon as Liu Hua got to work, Li Huaide came to greet him: "Hua Zi, why did you ask for leave yesterday? What happened? Do you need my help?"

"It's okay." Liu Hua said with a smile: "My wife is pregnant."

"Isn't it?" Li Huaide was also happy for him: "This is great news. Let me think, I still have a few milk powder tickets and malted milk tickets. I will give them to you later so that you can supplement your niece's nutrition."

Of course you have to buy milk powder, but it is definitely not the kind of milk powder that is currently on the market. To be honest, this kind of milk powder has absolutely no problems and is nutritious enough.

The problem is that later on, special milk powder for pregnant women came into being. This is not just a matter of adequate nutrition, but also specifically supplements trace elements for pregnant women and babies. Then this kind of original milk powder is no longer popular.

Yesterday Liu Hua checked the system and found that he could directly exchange milk powder and then take it out according to his needs, whether it was for pregnant women or newborns. This system is very user-friendly.

When he got home in the evening, Liu Hua took two buckets of milk powder. They were tinplate buckets with the same packaging as those on the market, but inside they were filled with scientifically formulated milk powder for pregnant women.

When he brought the milk powder home, his wife blamed him for wasting money: "Why did you buy milk powder? We eat meat and fish every now and then. We have enough nutrition. We don't need milk powder."

"Don't underestimate this milk powder." Liu Hua said, "I specially asked someone to make it for me. It contains trace elements that pregnant women need. It is good for pregnant women and fetuses."

When Liu Feifei, who was about to become a mother, heard that it was good for the fetus, she immediately smiled and said, "It's good for the baby, so I'll drink it."

Milk powder will be commonplace for people decades later, but now it can be considered a luxury item and ordinary people can't even afford it.

At that time, it was said that seven bottles of White Rabbit Milk could make a cup of milk, and this was probably the easiest way for ordinary people to drink milk.

Liu Hua brought back two cans of milk powder for his pregnant wife, which caused a sensation in the compound. Most people looked at her with envy, such as Yan Fugui and Jia Zhangshi. Some people were jealous, such as Yu Li, who married Yan Jiecheng earlier than Liu Hua, but she is still pregnant. In addition, the Yan family is extremely stingy, and the young couple still cannot achieve financial independence. It is conceivable how difficult it is for her to buy something. Seeing Liu Feifei drinking milk powder, how can she not be jealous.

Another person who is envied is Xu Damao. He got married a few days earlier than Liu Hua. As a result, Liu Hua is about to have a son, but he was diagnosed with insufficient vitality. Others drink milk powder, while he drinks traditional Chinese medicine. It is a sharp contrast.

There was another person whose mind was more active, and that was Bang Geng. Probably because Jia Zhang didn't dare to do anything naughty, Bang Geng wasn't too annoying, and he didn't do anything excessively sneaky in the courtyard.

Because his grades have improved, he has eaten a lot of delicious food recently, but he has never drunk milk powder since he was a child. Looking at the Liu family's milk powder, he is eager to try what milk powder tastes like.

But Jia Zhang didn't have the courage to ask for it. Qin Huairu was very strict now, so Banggeng knew that if he wanted to drink milk powder, it would be impossible to get it through formal channels. He could only rely on the skills he learned when he was a child.

When he was five or six years old, Yi Zhonghai was all-powerful and his Jia family had a backer, so Banggeng could run rampant in the yard. He would take a steamed bread from one family and a coal briquettes from another, and everything went peacefully, so Banggeng also accumulated some skills.

He also knew that Liu Hua was difficult to deal with, and that the Liu family had guns, so he always stayed away from the Liu family in the past. This time, although he was eager to drink milk powder, he was still very scared subconsciously, and because of the word fear, he did not take any action.

But drinking milk powder was like an obsession, lingering in Banggeng's mind for a long time, and it could not be shaken off, and the obsession grew deeper and deeper.

As this obsession deepens, the word "fear" will be suppressed, and Banggeng's little thoughts are about to stir.

After all, he had lived in the courtyard for two or three years, and he knew the work and rest habits of Liu Hua and his wife. It should not be a difficult task for him to find a gap and go in and scoop a few times with a small spoon. Besides, there were two buckets of milk powder, and each bucket should be full. It should not be a big deal to be missing two spoonfuls.

So Banggeng has been looking for an opportunity. One day, Liu Hua went to the supply and marketing cooperative to work. He couldn't exchange everything from the system, and the money he earned would not be spent. Wouldn't that arouse suspicion?

Liu Feifei went to Sha Zhu's house. Han Yufeng had given birth to a child and had experience, so she went to ask for some knowledge. There was no one at the Liu family at the moment and the door was not closed, which was a great opportunity for Bang Geng.

Banggeng made sure that there was no one else in the yard, so he sneaked into Liu's house with a small bowl and a spoon. The milk powder was placed on the dining table, very conspicuous.

Banggeng pried open the lid of the iron bucket and quickly scooped out two spoonfuls. At this time, the sweet smell of milk powder wafted out. Banggeng subconsciously sniffed. It was so fragrant, so sweet, and so tempting.

He originally wanted to stop, but the taste tempted him to scoop two more spoonfuls, and he also scooped a spoonful and put it into his mouth.

Children are not very careful in doing things, and they are also a little afraid, so they trembled and spilled some on the table.

Seeing that he had already scooped out half a bowl of milk powder, he closed the lid with all his heart, walked to the door and looked around, but there was still no one in the yard, so he ran back to his home.

I changed to a bigger bowl and poured hot water into it. The richer milk flavor made me drool. I didn't care about the burn and drank the whole bowl of milk in just a few gulps.
