Before anything even happened, they wanted to buy a sewing machine. You'd have to save up industrial coupons for that for ages.

Wang Jianshe and the others burst into laughter.

Zhang Shuzhen was cooking in the outer room when she heard laughter coming from inside, so she laughed along.

Just as the dishes were finished cooking, Sheng Liancheng returned, so they cleared the table and prepared to eat.

Upon seeing this, Wang Jianshe and the others quickly took their leave.

"Uncle, Aunt, we need to go home now. We have to hurry home to settle the accounts, or my mom will be angry."

The group made up an excuse, grabbed their belongings, and dashed home.

When Sheng Liancheng and Zhang Shuzhen saw that the young people were running faster than rabbits, they were both amused and exasperated.

"These kids, how old are they? They're still so immature and frivolous, just like Zhang Guang." Sheng Liancheng shook his head with a smile.

"They just don't want to eat at our house, because they're afraid we won't have enough food to eat."

Zhang Shuzhen rolled her eyes at her husband. This man is just too careless.

How could he not see something so obvious?

“Our family has been hosting a lot of dinner parties lately, and we’re running low on food supplies. We’ll have to go to the Dajianchang area to find some more.”

Zhang Shuzhen sighed. With so many children in the family, there was a lot to eat, and people would come over to eat from time to time. How could they possibly have enough food to eat?

"It's all thanks to the eldest son's competence that the family had meat all autumn."

The food has some oil, so at least it saves some grain. If it weren't for the meat, we'd eat even more.

"Mom, here's the money. This is from selling pine nuts, bear gallbladders, lynx skin, and snake skin."

I'll go to my master's place later and deliver the money from his share. Then I'll ask my older brother to get us some grain.

"It's alright, we can just buy food. We can't go hungry."
