It’s okay not to go to the black market. You don’t go there to buy things anyway.

There are a lot of things in the space. When you want something, just go to the supply and marketing cooperative and take a look. If you smuggle it out, you can say that you bought it at the supply and marketing cooperative.

Two days later.

In the morning, Deng Qingling steamed a bowl of egg custard and fried some sweet potato leaves to eat with corn soup. It was simple and nutritious.

The mother and her two children all had a full breakfast. As soon as they finished eating, Guo Haochen wanted to sneak out and play.

Deng Qingling: "I'm going to do the laundry. You stay home and look after your brothers and sisters. I'll take you out to play when I come back."

"Okay." Guo Haochen said reluctantly.

Seeing that he agreed, Deng Qingling went out to wash clothes.

When Deng Qingling went to the well, no one was washing clothes there. Those who were washing clothes had done so early in the morning when it wasn't so hot.

Seeing that no one came, Deng Qingling secretly took out the soap and laundry brush to use. The children's clothes were dirty. If she didn't use a brush, she didn't know how long it would take to rub them clean. With a brush, it was much faster. She washed the clothes quickly and went home.

Soon Deng Qingling finished hanging up the clothes, took an old-fashioned kettle, filled it with some boiled water, and took the children out.

Guo Haochen said he wanted to go play with Haitao, so Deng Qingling took them to the end of the village.

After Chen Chen got married, he built two large houses not far from the Youth League Institute, and Chen Ting also moved out. She originally didn't want to disturb his brother and his wife, but Chen Chen was afraid that his sister would be bullied, so he forced her to move in with them.

When Deng Qingling and the others went there, Haitao was playing in the mud in the yard, and Chen Xiaomin was sitting at the door making clothes and watching the children at the same time.

"Sister-in-law, now that you are here, please go into the house and get a stool to sit on. It is not very convenient for me here." Chen Xiaomin put down her things, supported her waist and stood up, saying when she saw them coming.

Deng Qingling: "It's okay, I can get it myself." Then she went into the house to find a stool.

"Aunt, when will my little sister come out?" Guo Ninghuan asked when he saw her big belly.

This made Chen Xiaomin, who only had a son, very happy. "There are still two months left. You must bring your sister to play with you then."

People say that children have sharp eyes. My son talked about his sister all day long, but I didn’t take it too seriously. But now two or three children say it’s his sister, so it must be his sister.

My husband has always wanted a daughter as cute and beautiful as Huanhuan, and now he has got what he wanted.

"Okay, when my sister comes out, I'll take her to pick flowers." Guo Ninghuan agreed readily.

Then he ran off to play with his brothers.

Deng Qingling put down the stool and sat on it, smiling slightly. "When is the due date? If there's anything I can help you with, please let me know."

"The due date is a few days after the Mid-Autumn Festival. I would like to thank my sister-in-law in advance." Chen Xiaomin said.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it’s the autumn harvest, and I really need help. I don’t know if my mother-in-law can take a leave to come here.

That side of town.

When Guo Youqing arrived, he saw two young men confronting several elderly people, verbally abusing them and occasionally punching and kicking them.

The old man was in tattered clothes, covered with wounds, and looked extremely disheveled.

"I'm the captain of the Lixia Brigade. I'm here to pick someone up." Guo Youqing got off the ox cart and walked over.

"You're finally here. It's so hot, and you made us wait for so long." The arrogant young man said.

"Everyone knows that our team's road is difficult to travel. I have to hurry on my way. I am really sorry to have kept you two comrades waiting for so long." Although Guo Youqing was not used to the behavior of the two young men, he also knew that it was easier to deal with big ghosts than small ghosts.

It is better to have less trouble than more, so there is nothing wrong with just saying a few soft words.

"Take these stinky old nines away quickly, and remember to make them work more."

Seeing that his attitude was quite good, the young man didn't want to say anything more. It was such a hot day, so he should just go back and report.

The two young men looked at each other and left.

Seeing that they had walked away, Guo Youqing quickly asked them to get on the ox cart.

Guo Youqing took away four people in total, two old men, an old woman and a little boy.

"Grandma!" The little boy with tears on his face nestled in the old lady's arms.

"Don't be afraid, grandpa and grandma are fine." The old lady hugged the little boy tightly, turned her back and wiped away her tears. The adults were fine, but the child suffered.

This time when going up the hill, Guo Youqing did not ask people to dismount the cows. These people looked miserable enough, both old and young. If he tortured them any further, they might die on the way. What should he do?

Guo Youqing parked the ox cart in front of the brigade office.

"Ah Xing, I'm going to herd the cattle cart. You take them to find a place to live."

Guo Youqing thought that his brigade was so far away from the town, and there would be no one to inspect it. The mountain roads were difficult to travel, and there would be no benefits to be gained from coming. Who would be willing to come to inspect it?

"Brother Qing, you're back!" Guo Youxing heard the call and came out, thinking that he had picked someone up.

"Grandpa, uncle." Guo Haochen heard his grandpa's voice in the yard and came out, followed by three little kids.

Haitao walked over and was about to call for help when he saw two people who looked very familiar. It seemed like he knew them, but also like he didn’t know them. But they really looked alike!

Haitao hurried home to find his mother.

Guo Haochen and his two siblings were chattering around their grandfather and didn't notice that Haitao had run away.

When Guo Youqing saw this, he thought the child was scared away by them.

In fact, the old man and the old woman had already seen Haitao, and they lowered their heads quickly for fear that he would recognize them.

Deng Qingling and Chen Xiaomin heard it at the door and didn't pay attention to the noise in the brigade headquarters.

At this time, Haitao ran back home and ran to Chen Xiaomin, "Mom, I think I saw my great-grandfather and great-grandmother."

Chen Xiaomin was stunned for a moment, "You must have seen it wrong, are you thinking about your great-grandfather and the others?"

"Mom, just go and take a look! See if it is true." Haitao was very anxious when he saw that his mother didn't believe him.

Deng Qingling felt a little strange. It would be okay if she misjudged one person, but it was impossible for her to misjudge two people at the same time.

"How about we go out and take a look together?" Deng Qingling said as she stood up. Whether she wanted to take a look or not, she had to go home and cook.

"Okay." Chen Xiaomin said.

The three of them walked not far from the brigade headquarters. Chen Xiaomin looked at the old man not far away in surprise, and was so scared that she took a step back.

Aren’t these Achen’s grandparents?

How did they become like this!

Seeing that she looked frightened, Deng Qingling quickly supported her.

I'm afraid what Haitao said is true.

Deng Qingling held her tightly and whispered, "You can't recognize each other. Take the child back quickly."

Chen Xiaomin saw the old man not far away secretly shaking his head at her, so she lowered her head.

The old lady had her back to this side and did not see this scene.

"Haitao, let's go back." Chen Xiaomin reached out and grabbed her son, fearing that he would run over and say something he shouldn't say.
