Old Madam Qiao was reborn—seven days before her whole family was sent to the countryside.
Looking at her family, still safe and sound—her son and daughter-in-law alive, her two young grandchi...
At six in the morning, it was dim.
After Su Huazhu, Song Luoyun, and Song Luoshu came out of the county guesthouse, they went straight to the county hospital…in the alley behind it.
After searching for a long time, they finally found one of the legendary black spots... the county hospital.
The black market behind the county hospital is very lively, with more than 20 stalls selling chickens, eggs, millet, rice noodles, pork, mutton, and even rabbits.
Su Huazhu and the others were dazzled and pleasantly surprised. However, they were not interested in fine grains, chickens, eggs, or rabbits, and only targeted pork and mutton.
Quick victory.
Before coming, they had discussed it among themselves. Each person would buy two kilograms of pork, and the others would decide based on circumstances.
So, they each bought two catties of pork. Later, the Song brothers and sisters bought two catties of mutton, and only Su Huazhu bought one catty.
She was not short of money and wanted to buy a few more pounds. However, they bought pork and mutton, so they were afraid of arousing envy.
Therefore, Su Huazhu had to suppress her desire to go shopping, and after buying the pork and mutton, she quickly took the Song brothers and sisters and left.
None of them dared to go back to the county guesthouse directly, but wandered around in circles, and finally went straight to the railway station and bought a train ticket that would depart for Beijing later.
After buying the train tickets, we went to the state-owned restaurant for breakfast, again with a bowl of mutton noodles and two steamed buns per person. However, they packed another steamed bun before we left.
After leaving the state-owned restaurant, I went to the Xinhua Bookstore in the county to buy some pens, paper, ink, comic books, dictionaries, and 100,000 Whys.
Finally, I went to the county scrap collection station and found a few junior high and high school textbooks. After buying them, I rushed to the bus station.
As soon as they arrived at the bus station, there was a bus ready to leave for their commune, and Su Huazhu and the others quickly bought tickets and got on the bus.
It takes about two hours to get from the county to the commune, but the road is difficult to walk on in winter, so the journey is slower. When Su Huazhu and her group arrived at the commune, they had been in the car for nearly an hour.
After Su Huazhu and the others got on the bus, they let out a long sigh of relief. They had been stuck in the bus for two hours and didn't dare to eat even though they were hungry because the smell was so bad.
Moreover, the steamed buns they packed were already hard and inedible.
Now that they were in the car, it was past mealtime and the state-owned restaurant would definitely not sell food at this time, so Su Huazhu had to take out the snacks and biscuits she bought in the county and eat a little to fill her stomach.
However, after eating half a bag of snacks and a dozen biscuits, Su Huazhu took the Song brothers and sisters to the commune supply and marketing cooperative to replenish snacks and biscuits.
After all, they would not come out again from the Ming Dynasty until after the Chinese New Year, around the Lantern Festival, when they would come to replenish the missing items.
Song Luoyun has been very excited because he will be returning to Beijing soon, and the captain has given him a full month to visit his family. He will definitely use up this month and will probably come back after the Lantern Festival.
Not only did Su Huazhu buy snacks and biscuits, he also bought some supplies for his sister. If the road was not unsafe, if he had not brought more supplies this time, he was afraid that he would not be able to look after his sister, otherwise Xiaoshu would have been able to go back.
After buying the things, Su Huazhu and his group set off back to the production team.
"Let's go to my parents' house for dinner tonight."
On the way, Su Huazhu invited the Song brothers and sisters. She bought so much meat that she would send most of it to her mother.
"Okay, I'll just talk to my uncle and aunt about what to do when I return to Beijing."
The Song brothers and sisters agreed very much, and they also planned to give half of the pork and mutton they bought to the Su family.
Otherwise, every time they went to the Su family, they never had anything to offer, and they just ate and drank for free, which made them feel embarrassed.
Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan said they would not go out anymore and they really did not go out anymore. However, not long after they finished breakfast, Lao Feng and Cai Qingwen came over with Feng Zilu.
Feng Zilu went to play with Dabao and Xiaobao, while Lao Feng and Cai Qingwen went to talk to Su Huaiyuan and Qiao Jiuru.
"Don't go into the mountains anymore, Xiaoze is worried, and so are we."
As soon as they met, Lao Feng said to the couple with a serious face that it was not only Su Ze who was worried, but also the people in the cowshed were worried.
Now behind Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan are not only their family members, but also the people in the cowshed. Everyone depends on them. How can they afford to let anything go wrong? !
"That's right, Lao Su, Lao Qiao, you are not just two people, we are also here. What will we do if something happens to you?! What about Xiaoze and the children?! You have to think about Dabao and Xiaobao, and your daughter. Life is good now, so don't make trouble anymore."
Because Cai Qingwen has a good relationship with Su Huaiyuan, he speaks much more boldly and directly. Anyway, they can't do without these two people, and these two people have to think about so many people.
Qiao Jiuru: “…”
Su Huaiyuan: “…”
They have already felt it, especially strongly, and they have a sense of resentment.
"No, no, I won't go anymore. I won't go anymore."
"No matter where you go from now on, we will move with you."
Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan had to assure them again and again that they really took their son's worries to heart.
Cai Qingwen naturally believed in his old friend's words and would not fool them.
After getting assurances from Su Huaiyuan and Qiao Jiuru, Lao Feng and Cai Qingwen went back. One of them had to continue making clothes, and the other went back to chop firewood.
Anyway, there are always many things to do, and there is no time to relax.
Feng Zilu was left here to play with Dabao and Xiaobao. He studied at home and played only here. Therefore, Feng Zilu liked playing here very much.
In fact, they didn't just come to play. Often, Su Huaiyuan also taught them to learn, such as writing big characters, drawing, or telling them stories.
Then, Su Ze would make some small toys with wood for the children. Although Dabao and Xiaobao were very young, they would watch them with great interest and would watch for half a day.
Old Feng was also particularly relieved about his grandson coming to the Su family to play. Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan were both generous people. They never disliked their grandson and took great care of Zilu.
Moreover, the Su family also liked Feng Zilu very much. As long as he was sensible, he would often help take care of Dabao and Xiaobao. Dabao and Xiaobao liked this little brother very much. Although the two children had a big age difference, they unexpectedly got along well and played very well.
