"Mom, I support you on this matter."

"It's never too late to learn. You have time now and the family doesn't need you to take care of it. It would be great if you could study."

"I'm worried that no one will take care of Tangtang." My daughter is still young, and I feel uneasy about her being alone at home.

"Even if both of us don't have time to take care of Tangtang, don't we still have Yushui? Shazhu is usually busy with work at the steel rolling mill, so let Yushui come to my house for dinner and help us take care of Tangtang. She will definitely be happy to do that."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

The second day.

When Liu Huizhen came in with a smile on her face, Liu Xiaojun guessed that the matter had a result.

After gulping down several gulps of water from a large porcelain jar with Chairman Mao printed on it, Liu Huizhen finally said, "Yushui agreed. It's winter vacation now, and I don't have to go to school, so I have time to bring Tangtang along."

Liu Xiaojun smiled and said, "That's great. Besides, when Yu Shui starts school, we'll send Tangtang to kindergarten. Then you just need to pick her up at night."

"Okay, Mom will listen to you."

Liu Xiaojun kept the whole house in order, and Liu Huizhen was very satisfied.

In the afternoon, Liu Xiaojun took Liu Huizhen to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought 100 kilograms of rice.

Liu Huizhen and Liu Xiaojun carried the 100 kilograms of rice all the way back. They were bought from the supply and marketing cooperative. It was printed with a special mark for the supply and marketing cooperative's rice, which is very easy to identify. Anyone who has bought things from the supply and marketing cooperative knows it.

Along the way, the two of them attracted a lot of attention.

After all, every household is short of food these days, and very few families can afford rice.

Having money alone is not enough. If you want to eat rice, you need both money and food coupons. You can't buy it without either one.

People like Liu Xiaojun who buy 100 kilograms at a time can be counted on one hand, and ordinary families can only afford to eat it during the Chinese New Year.

As soon as I reached the gate of the yard, everyone in the yard was looking at me, and their eyes widened.

What did they see?

The poorest widow in the courtyard actually bought 100 kilograms of rice?

It’s not cornmeal, not white flour, not millet, but real rice!

And I buy one hundred kilograms at a time!

What kind of family can afford 100 kilograms of rice these days?

In the past, perhaps only the home of a sixth-level fitter in the entire courtyard had such conditions.

But now there is one more, and that is the family of Widow Liu, who used to be the poorest family in the courtyard!

Widow Liu and her family have been eating meat every day recently.

The meat smells so good, it's impossible to hide it. Once the meat is cooked, other people in the yard can only smell the aroma but can't eat it. It's so miserable.

"Old Yi, how come Xiaojun, the son of widow Liu, is so capable? He buys cotton and rice. He didn't steal them, did he?" The second uncle said, pulling Yi Zhonghai's sleeve.

"It's hard to say." Yi Zhonghai's eyes were cold.

The second uncle slapped his thigh and said, "This won't do, Old Yi! If there really is a thief living in our yard, we uncles might be fired if we don't monitor him properly!"

"Hey, you guys are standing at the door again, what are you doing?" Sha Zhu came in with his hands behind his back and a lunch box in his hand.

Several uncles looked at him at the same time.

"Look, we saw that Liu Xiaojun's family bought 100 kilograms of rice today. We are worried that the source of the rice is not legitimate, so we decided to go and take a look." Aunt Jia had suffered several losses at the hands of Liu Xiaojun. Seeing that someone took the lead, she was the first to refuse to be outdone.

"Let me tell you, Xiaojun's family are all good people. If you want to make trouble, you'd better investigate it first!" Sha Zhu refused to go and even went to Liu Xiaojun's house.

As soon as Sha Zhu entered the room, he saw Liu Xiaojun leisurely eating and immediately said anxiously, "Stop eating, the uncles and the others are going to come and cause trouble for you later!"

Liu Xiaojun took another bite of the braised pork nonchalantly: "Really?"

"Hey, why aren't you anxious?" Sha Zhu stamped his feet anxiously.

Liu Xiaojun: "Zhu Zi, don't worry. Go and call Director Wang over for me. Tell him that I was planning to go fishing and deliver it to the subdistrict office, but some uncles stopped me at home and wouldn't let me go."

When Sha Zhu heard this, his eyes immediately lit up: "Okay, good idea, I'll go right away."

After saying that, Sha Zhu turned around and walked out of the courtyard.

Aunt Jia stamped her foot in anger: "Before, only Liu Xiaojun was acting strangely, but now Sha Zhu has also become obsessed with him."

The second aunt also grabbed Jia Zhang and said, "Let's go. If they don't go, we will go!"

The third uncle looked at Liu Xiaojun's back with a hint of envy on his face.

This little soldier is really good!

At first, I went fishing to exchange for food, but recently I found some new way and actually got 100 kilograms of rice at one time.

The most important thing is not the 100 kilograms of rice, but that this kid can get so many food coupons!

You have to know that every household has a ration of food. Widow Liu, who has a rural household registration and doesn't even have a ration, was able to buy rice. I would never believe that she could not have had the help of other people.

At this moment, the third uncle made a firm decision in his heart that he must not offend Liu Xiaojun!

The third uncle also slipped away: "I'm not going. I have something to do at school. You guys go first."

The second uncle's idea was very simple. His home was close to Liu Xiaojun's home, and every time they ate meat, the aroma would drift to his place.

As the second uncle in this courtyard, and living diagonally opposite Liu Xiaojun's house, Liu Xiaojun's family is so stupid that they don't even think to serve a bowl of meat to him, the second uncle, every time they eat meat!

This is simply outrageous. Doesn't this treat him as a mere decoration?

Yi Zhonghai simply didn't want Liu Xiaojun to get better, otherwise, for him, letting Jia Dongxu take care of him in his old age would be a wrong choice.
