Chapter 18

Uncle Liang gave a few instructions and then went to the market carrying the piglet.

Although there were no private stalls at that time, there were collective stalls of production teams.

Generally, if the team has extra items, food, etc., they can be sold or exchanged.

Today, Uncle Liang and the accountant and others in the team dragged six or seven piglets to the market to sell.

They had to first go to the collective committee to hand in the note issued by the brigade, and get a stall ticket from the collective committee. Then they found a place to put the piglets and wait for customers to come and buy them.

At this time, the "customer" cannot be "private", because this period emphasizes collective production and collective property, so the final customer will also be a production team.

The money earned from selling the piglets will be incorporated into the team as collective property.

"I need to go to the post office. Is anyone going?"

Li Li shook her head and said, "I'm going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some daily necessities."

Lu Linping said, "Then, Su Qingci, you go do your thing first. Luo Song and I will go to the grain station."

"Since we are going to cook for ourselves, we need to buy oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and other condiments."

"Besides, we wanted to see if we could get a pot."

"Yes, and I have to buy bottles."

Su Qingci nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go straight to the grain station to find you after I finish my business."

"If you don't wait for me, you can buy the things first and then go back to settle the bill and share the money."

After the few people separated, Su Qingci stopped a passerby to ask for directions and went straight to the post office.

I checked with my ID and found that there was indeed a package that had just arrived.

"Just a package? Is there a letter?"

"Comrade, there's only a package, but no registered letter for you."

"It's possible that it hasn't arrived yet. You can come back in a few days."

Su Qingci took the huge package and placed it at her feet, then decided to make a phone call to inquire about the situation.

She kept comforting herself in her heart that since the things had been sent, there should be nothing wrong at home.

Regardless of whether my parents are okay or not, grandpa should be relatively safe.

"Hello, is this the communication room at the xx Military Region compound?"

"Could you please help me find Commander Su?"

"Yes, it's Su Yi who lives in Building 1."

"Okay, okay, I'll call you back later. Thank you."

After hanging up the phone and waiting at the post office for about three minutes, Su Qingci called back again.

As soon as the call was connected, the other party was even more anxious than her!

"Hello~"

"Hello~ Are you looking for Su Yi?"

"Su Yi is my father. He is not at home now. Who are you? What's the matter? I'll tell him."

Su Qingci listened to the clear female voice on the phone without saying anything, but chose to hang up.

Su Meifang on the other end of the phone listened to the beeping sound, and an inexplicable emotion flashed across her eyes.

She waited in the reception room for a while before picking up the phone and pressing the replay button.

"Hello, this is the Taohua Town Post Office in Feng County. What can I do for you?"

"Is this the Taohua Town Post Office in Lu City?"

"No, comrade, you've dialed the wrong number. This is the Taohua Town Post Office in Lou City."

"Sorry, sorry, I dialed the wrong number."

"Beep beep beep~"

Su Qingci, who was trying hard to squeeze out with the package, had no idea that Su Meifang had made this call.

Her family situation is somewhat complicated.

If she guessed correctly, the girl on the phone should be her aunt Su Meifang.

Su Meifang is 17 years old this year and was born in the same year as Su Qingci.

She also has a 19-year-old second brother, and Su Qingci has to call him Third Uncle.

Su Qingci's grandfather Su Yi was born in a merchant family, and his grandmother Li Yue Niang was his grandfather's child bride.

Li Yue Niang came to the Su family when she was ten years old. At that time, Su Yi was just a baby who had just learned to walk.

At that time, Su Yi's mother was in poor health, so it can be said that Su Yi was raised by Li Yue Niang single-handedly.

When Su Yi was 17 years old, Li Yue Niang was 25 years old.

It was also in this year that Li Yue Niang gave birth to Su Yi's eldest son, Su Changqing.

In the same year, the young and passionate Su Yi secretly ran away with the passing army.

There was no news from him for more than three years, and his family thought he had died outside.

I didn't expect him to come back again.

It is when the family kills chickens to offer sacrifices to their ancestors and thank them for their blessings.

After staying at home for less than a week, Su Yi ran away again.

This time he not only ran away, but also took away all the money in the house, and left a letter saying that he was taking it to support the party.

Not only did he take the family's money away, he also donated all the industrial workshops his family was running to the country.

The Su family returned the day after he ran away.

Only when the local government came to his door carrying a plaque and beating gongs and drums did they find out that he had donated the Su family's property.

The old lady of the Su family was already in poor health. She had just experienced great joy and then great sorrow. When she heard the news, she could not bear it and died that month.

When Old Master Su learned that his ancestral property had been donated to the country by Su Yi, he almost died on the spot and went to apologize to his ancestors.

Although I am unwilling to do so, I cannot fight against the regime.

They could only watch helplessly as the street government took over all of the Su family's assets.

Before the seventh day after the old lady of the Su family passed away, Li Yue Niang found out that she was pregnant again.

Old Master Su had no choice but to sell the house and belongings, dismiss the servants, and move into a small courtyard with Li Yueniang and Su Changqing.

Not long after Li Yueniang gave birth to her second child, Su Changzhi.

Old Master Su, who had been lonely and indifferent for a whole year, also passed away.

In the year he lived, apart from taking care of Su Changqing, the most he did was to sit at the door and scold his unfilial son.

Even before his death, he held Li Yueniang's hand tightly and asked her to raise Su Changqing and Su Changzhi well.

And he asked her to send her rebellious son Su Yi down to accompany him as soon as possible.

In that era, Li Yueniang, a widow with two children, suffered a lot.

After much difficulty, the People's Republic of China was founded and the whole country was liberated. Su Yi also established himself in Kyoto.

But before Su Yi could pick them up to go to Kyoto to enjoy a good life, they received a divorce letter from him.

Li Yue Niang's ten years of forbearance completely broke out at this moment.

She immediately took her two children to Beijing to find Su Yi.

Just one encounter.

Su Yi, a regimental commander who had fought on the battlefield, was stabbed into the hospital by Li Yue Niang.

If it weren't for several cadres of the then Political Commissar and Deputy Regiment who stopped her, Su Yi might have really gone to see her great-grandfather.

In Su Yi's words, Li Yue Niang was the mother who raised him.

She is his elder sister who accompanied him in his childhood.

She is also his wife who is filial to him and gives birth to his children.

It's not that he has no feelings for Li Yue Niang, but it's more of family affection than love.

He and the military nurse Qin Xiangxiang are more compatible in terms of age, ambition and spirit.

What's more, Qin Xiangxiang was already pregnant at that time.

One is a middle-aged woman in her forties with a strong personality.

One is a young, beautiful and gentle nurse who has been by his side for many years.

Li Yue Niang lost miserably.
