"Dad, I'm your son. You don't have to be so distant with me. Just tell me what you need."

"Yeah." The beard on the corners of Grandpa Gu's mouth was about to curl up. It turned out that raising this brat of his was not in vain, as he knew how to feel sorry for his father.

They are much better than the children of Old Liangtou's family in the alley. Old Liangtou's wife died early, and she had to play both the father and the mother. She raised her son with great difficulty and married him off. The wife was also very capable. Within a few years of her marriage, she gave birth to four children.

Logically speaking, Old Liangtou had finally reaped the rewards of his hard work, but unfortunately, the old and useless Liangtou was disliked by his son's family. Later, he suffered a stroke and was paralyzed in bed. No one cared about him, and sores and maggots appeared on his back. He starved to death in his bed.

When these old guys heard the news of Lao Liang's death, they felt very sad. They were also afraid that they would be paralyzed in bed in their old age and unable to move, and end up like Lao Liang.

Father Gu emptied the chamber pot in his hand, cleaned it, and handed it to Grandpa Gu. Less than two minutes after leaving, he came back with Grandpa Gu's favorite pig's head in his hand.

Grandpa Gu, whose nose was as sensitive as a dog's, smelled the fragrance and became erect again, just like a cat seeing a mouse.

"The store in the west of the city?"

"I bought some from your favorite place before we came here because I knew you liked it."

Father Gu put the pig's head meat into the pancake and handed it to Grandpa Gu. Grandpa Gu took it and took a bite of the pancake.

It still tastes the same as I remember, except without the liquor.

Father Gu saw through Grandpa Gu's thoughts and stopped him, saying, "Don't even think about drinking. Wait until you're better."

Grandpa Gu, whose heart was touched, blushed and said, "You little bastard, I didn't say I wanted to drink. Stop accusing me."

Father Gu was not angry either: "That's the best. Hurry up and eat. After you finish eating, I'll get you a basin of water to wipe yourself. It's hot now and you can't take a shower, so bear with it."

"He's nagging all day long. I don't know who learned this from." However, Grandpa Gu is very touched by his son's filial piety.

After a hundred days of recovery from a broken bone, Old Lady Lin's leg was in a cast and she couldn't move. Sitting in a simple wheelchair, she tilted her head and looked at her six children sleeping soundly on the bed.

That little look is so cute.

But when she thought about her injured leg, not only could she not help, but she would also cause trouble for her family, Mrs. Lin's eyes turned red with guilt.

Shen Yunshu squatted down, held the old man's hand, and said affectionately:

"Grandma, these six brats are so naughty. When they grow up, they will definitely cause chaos at home. You must get better soon and help me discipline these brats, otherwise they will not know their place and cause trouble for me all day long."

Old Mrs. Lin saw that her niece was trying to comfort her, and tears started to fall: "Listen to Shushu."

"Listen to me, you can't cry. If grandpa sees you crying, he'll probably think I'm bullying you."

After that, Shen Yunshu took out a handkerchief from his pocket and helped wipe the tears from her face.

Grandma Gu and Mother Gu were also coaxing her.

Only then did Old Mrs. Lin stop crying.

After a while, the six cubs in the cribs woke up. Everyone helped change their diapers and changing pads, and Shen Yunshu fed the children one by one.

The little boss, who had eaten and drunk his fill, was held in Grandma Lin's arms. His big watery eyes blinked, and instantly caught Grandma Lin's heart.

Old Mrs. Lin wanted to present everything she had to him.

This is probably what it means when people say that generations apart are close to each other.

With so many people living together, there is one most troublesome problem, which is that the food rations at home are consumed too quickly. Half of the food that Gu Jiuyan brought home two days ago has been consumed.

This was something Shen Yunshu overheard when he went to the bathroom.

The reason why Wan Xinyu, who was in charge of the kitchen, hid it from Shen Yunshu was because Shen Yunshu was still in the confinement period. He didn't want Shen Yunshu to worry about this matter, so he thought about it again and again before telling Gu Jiuyan about the ration issue.

As for food, Shen Yunshu had plenty of space. The food alone added up to tens of thousands of tons, but how to get it out was still a headache.

Especially now, she is still in the confinement period and is under strict control by her family and cannot even leave the house.

Gu Jiuyan hated to see her worrying about this, so he said to her, "Wife, leave this to me, you don't have to worry."

Gu Jiuyan solved the problem very quickly. That night, he held a family meeting behind Shen Yunshu's back and collected all the family members' food reserves together.

Now that we have the grain book in hand, the problem of food rations is easily solved.

Gu Jiuyan returned to the house and showed Shen Yunshu what he had in his hand. "Wife, look what this is?"

"Liangben, what are you doing..."

"Just as you thought, I've taken back all the grain certificates from them. From now on, they can use the certificates to buy grain, so they don't have to go to the black market. This way, it's safer."

Shen Yunshu, who was too anxious, seemed to have overlooked this point. Now, after Gu Jiuyan's reminder, the problem that had been bothering her disappeared in an instant.

Every household with urban household registration has a grain book, a red booklet the size of a palm, with the words "Urban Resident Grain and Oil Supply Certificate" usually printed in large letters on it.

The grain book was set up during the planned economy era to protect the non-agricultural population from obtaining food supply. Each person had a certain quota per month, and with the grain book in hand, they could go to designated grain stores to buy cooking oil and grain.

In this famine, food is equivalent to people's lifeline. With it, at least they will not starve to death. This is why the country people are trying their best to move to the city even if it means breaking their heads.
