The days passed leisurely, and only after the New Year did Yang Hongmei prepare to come to the capital again.

Before leaving, Yang Hongmei gave her youngest son Shen Weidong ten yuan.

"Mom will go take care of your nephews. You should study hard in high school. If you don't get into college after you finish high school, you can see if you can find a job in the city."

My youngest son is already in high school.

Because I was in the county town, I lived in the school like Shen Anan and came back once a month.

As a mother, I have witnessed the benefits of Shen Anan going to technical secondary school after finishing high school.

Especially after seeing that most of the people who starved to death this year were farmers working in the fields, she decided not to let her son work in the fields for food.

“I understand, mother, don’t worry, I will study hard.” Shen Weidong nodded.

When he saw that his elder and second brothers had gone to the city and his sister had even gone to the capital, he naturally knew the benefits of reading more.

Now he has become much more serious than before, and his grades have climbed to the top three in the class.

"That's good. If the school needs anything in the future, just come back and ask your father for money. I may not be back until the end of the year." Yang Hongmei replied.

Her daughter would give her twenty yuan every month. She would give ten yuan to her mother-in-law and keep ten yuan for herself.

My youngest son will not be short of money at school.

“I understand. These ten dollars will be enough for me to use for a long time. Don’t worry, mother.” Shen Weidong replied.

In the past, if his parents gave him money, he would just talk directly.

But for now he will keep the money and plan to use it later.

The changes in his brothers and sisters made him realize that it would be best for him to find a job in the city in the future.

"Just know it. If you have any questions, just go find your father."

After giving instructions to the third brother, Yang Hongmei went to the Lu family to ask about her in-laws.

Unexpectedly, He Xiuying had no plans to leave for the time being, so she was allowed to go alone first.

Yang Hongmei didn't ask any more questions. She had heard about what happened in the Lu family before. Every family has its own problems.

When she arrived in the capital, Shen Anan was very curious to find that only her mother was there:

"Mom, why didn't my mother-in-law come?"

Didn’t these two people say they wanted to come together?

"Don't say that. Something happened to your in-laws' family before the New Year. Your fourth brother's wife pried open the grain cabinet at home..."

Yang Hongmei directly told Shen Anan about the things in her hometown.

Not only did he talk about the Lu family, he also talked about people starving to death in the village.

"I don't know if things will be like this this year." Yang Hongmei sighed.

I've had enough of these hard times. When will the weather be good and the harvest good?

Seeing that her mother looked bad, Shen Anan comforted her: "Now that it has hit rock bottom, it should be fine, don't worry, mother."

It’s been 62 years, it’s time to get better.

This year should be a year of good harvest, and the three years of natural disasters should be over.

When life gets better, she should be able to eat meat with justification, right?

"It would be great if it were like that." Yang Hongmei sighed.

Shen Anan changed the subject: "I didn't expect that the fourth sister-in-law is more powerful than the second sister-in-law. Doesn't my mother-in-law plan to come to the capital this year? Baozhu is also going to give birth this year."

Lu Baozhu is also pregnant. If Lu's mother doesn't come, who knows what will happen to her?

She works in a supply and marketing cooperative, and no one could be more annoyed than her that there is no one to take care of the child.

"I should be back. She told me to leave first and maybe come back in a few months."

At this point, Yang Hongmei looked at Shen Anan: "You don't know your mother-in-law's temper yet. She loves this daughter the most. How could she not come?"

"Is that so? That's fine! But it will be hard for our family, mother." Shen Anan said flatteringly to her mother.

Although things have been relatively smooth during this period, having four children is really troublesome.

She was not sure about the duration of the experiment, and the children cried several times while staying in the space.

"Okay, the children have grown up a lot and are very well-behaved. I can take care of them by myself." Yang Hongmei said.
