Su Xia from the village took Niu Niu to the old house after Niu Niu ate tomato and egg braised noodles.

He also brought two bottles of Erguotou and two packs of cigarettes from the space.

Niu Niu took the initiative to help carry the basket and led the way in front.

When we went to the old house, everyone had finished their meal and went back to their rooms to rest.

Niuniu ran into the bedroom of Chen's parents with a basket in her hand, shouting, "Grandpa and grandma, I'm here to bring you something."

Su Xia at the back twitched her lips. She now understood why Chen's father and mother liked her more and more. Who doesn't like to give gifts, especially those who give gifts in a high-profile manner?

The two people in the room were already grinning from ear to ear.

When Su Xia went in, two people hugged and kissed the kid.

"The old man is here, come and sit down."

Mother Chen began to be enthusiastic towards Su Xia.

Su Xia...

I got goosebumps.

Then he took out 10 yuan and gave it to Chen's mother, "Here, pension."

Mother Chen took it with a smile.

"How is it? Are you tired every day? Just let your dad go from now on. Your belly is getting bigger and bigger, so you should go with me."

Su Xia nodded and said, "That's great. Please help me, Dad. I will make a Lei Feng hat for you during the Chinese New Year. It will definitely look great."

Father Chen laughed so hard that his mouth stretched to the back of his head.

Mother Chen was a little jealous and glared at her husband.

"By the way, Dad, I've already made the arrangements when I go to the county town today. Corn is offered at 50 cents per pound, and potatoes and sweet potatoes are offered at 30 cents per pound."

"There are still a lot of tickets, including industrial tickets, cloth tickets, cotton tickets... everything. Take a look at what you can exchange them for."

Chen's father and mother looked at Su Xia in shock. This was much more than what the government gave.

Mother Chen excitedly kissed her granddaughter on the cheek.

"This time everyone in the family can have new clothes to wear."

Last year, Su Xia gave us a little, including cotton and coupons, but there are many people in the family and the children are growing up fast, so those are not enough.

Besides, it was given by the eldest daughter-in-law to honor the two elderly people, and they were embarrassed to give it to the second eldest daughter-in-law.

Father Chen then asked, "When will it be changed?"

"Dad, this can't be done during the day, it can only be done at night. I made an appointment with someone at 12:00 p.m. tonight.

It's in the woods outside the county town. ”

Father Chen knows that place, and no one else there will know it.

Su Xia: "By the way, Mom, I'm going to give you 300 kilograms of corn and 300 kilograms of potatoes and sweet potatoes. You can add more if you want."

After hearing this, Mother Chen's face darkened.

Su Xia looked at the two happy people and her face immediately darkened.

What's going on?

"Mom and Dad, what's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"

Chen's mother sighed, "I originally thought that I would keep 100 kilograms of each of the 500 kilograms of corn and 500 kilograms of potatoes and sweet potatoes I got in exchange."

"It's just that your two younger brothers and sisters-in-law's family came over the other day and said they wanted to borrow some grain. We just shared a little bit, but it's not enough to last until the wheat harvest next year."

Su Xia looked at the two people's ugly faces and knew that it was definitely not a simple matter of borrowing food.

"Borrowing, how to borrow, there is no clear rule.

Besides, we came here right after the autumn harvest, so I don’t believe you didn’t harvest anything. “

"They must have heard that our village had a good harvest, so they came to check it out. Dad and Mom, believe it or not, I've borrowed it now, and you can come here whenever you're short of food. The key is whether you're really short of food or just pretending, we don't know."

Thinking of Su Xia's words, Chen's father and mother were so angry that they wanted to scold the two daughters-in-law right away. If they had a few good days, they would not know who they were.

"Those two damned bastards, it must be their parents who said that. I'm so pissed off, why didn't they just starve to death?"

Mother Chen cursed with gnashing teeth, and even Father Chen rarely stopped her. These two families were going too far.

This is going to cut off your own livelihood!

Su Xia looked at the two helplessly: "Mom, don't push the two younger brothers and sisters directly. When the captain was in the meeting, the captains of other villages were also there. Besides, it's no secret that the county town came to us to get food."

"I guess we may have learned it from others. You just wait and see. There are so many married women in our village. There will definitely be people coming to borrow it frequently in the future."

Father Chen also turned around and thought that it was possible that the second son and his wife did not say this, after all, they had no chance to go home.

"Okay, don't tell them. What if they're not?"

Mother Chen was not happy. "Even if it's not theirs, it's their mother's family. They are not well-intentioned. Otherwise, why would they come to borrow it at this time?"

"snort....

I had originally thought of asking the second and the second sons to carry some sweet potatoes over, but now there is nothing. ”

Su Xia didn't try to persuade them, she also felt that the two families were just here to visit.

"Okay, Mom and Dad, just know the situation yourself. When you can't make ends meet, let your second and third brothers go over and take a look. Just lend them some money. You can't just watch them starve to death, otherwise it will be hard for your second and third brothers to do their job."

Father Chen persuaded his still angry wife, "Okay, just listen to the old man. Just reject it tomorrow. We will know we are in the wrong."

Mother Chen sighed. There was nothing she could do. There was no one from her family, like the eldest daughter’s family, who would come to bring food to the girl.

Why.....

"It's from the old family. Just change it as you said. Leave some extra insurance."

"Okay, Dad, then you can pack up and go directly to my place. I have a lot of changes. If you don't have enough carts, Dad, you can find a way to borrow one. I bought a lot of coal, which is enough for this day.

Father Chen nodded, went out to call out the second and eldest sons, and then the father and son started to work.

Su Xia looked at Niuniu and said, "Mom, how about letting her sleep with you tonight? I'm afraid the child will be scared if I'm not around in the middle of the night."

Niuniu, who was playing by herself, was not happy when she heard it. "No, I want to go home and sleep."

After saying that, he hugged Su Xia's neck and refused to let go. "Mom, I want to sleep next to you. Wherever you are, I'll be there."

Mother Chen...is this a den of wolves?

Don't like it so much?

Su Xia had a headache. She wanted to pull her hair off, but she couldn't do it. This kid was really strong.

I can only discuss with Chen's mother, "Mom, why don't you go to my place to sleep, so that I can also relax when I get up."

Mother Chen was a little excited. "Okay, why not?"

She had never lived in the old people's house, and she had long wanted to sleep in such a nice house.

There was no other choice, so Su Xia took the two people back.

When I went back to wash up, Chen's father came over with his second and third sons.

"Dad, they are all in the kitchen. There are several bags of them."

Chen Jiandang and Chen Jianjun just heard their father say that their eldest sister-in-law was going to help them get rich. They were both very excited. At first they were curious about why their parents needed so much food, but now they understood.

Chen Jianjun saw Chen's mother Niuniu coming out of the bathroom and asked curiously, "Mom, why are you here like this?"

Mother Chen looked at her slippers and pajamas, which were both things Su Xia couldn't wear now, so she gave them all to her.

Looking at the curious eyes of his wife and son, he said, "What's wrong? Why can't I be here?"

Then he said to them, "I'll sleep here tonight, and the second and third brothers will go to sleep with your dad, so we don't have to go back and forth."

After saying that, she led Niuniu back to the house. Her granddaughter and future grandson were both sleepy.

The two grown men were left looking at each other.

"Okay, hurry up and load the car. Your sister-in-law has to follow. She just can't leave the child behind. It's just right for your mother to come over."

Chen Jiandang and Chen Jianjun looked at Chen's father who was looking for reason, and stopped mocking him. Isn't it just that mom didn't accompany him for a day? Aren't there two of them?

After everyone loaded the car, they went back to sleep.

When it was past one in the middle of the night, Su Xia woke up. The main reason was that Chen's mother was next to her, and a stranger couldn't sleep well either.

Might as well get up.

Su Xia was putting on her clothes quietly, and at this time Chen's mother also woke up.

"Mom, why are you awake too? Did I wake you up?"

Mother Chen also stood up and said, "No, I just won't let go. You go first, I'll wait for you here."

Su Xia did not persuade her. She got up, changed into thick clothes and thick pants, and carried a schoolbag with a flashlight in it.

At this time, Chen's father and mother also came over.

A big man pushed the cart, and Su Xia was in front, shining a flashlight.

Several people walked further and further away under Chen Mudan's gaze.

By the time we hurried to catch up with the slower ones, it was almost half past 12:00. Mainly because it was cold and dark, and there were many things, so we had to walk slowly.

When Su Xia went to the ground, she saw a few people standing there, holding a flashlight and shaking it, and the opposite side also shook it.

Only then did I dare to move forward.

Wang Weiguo had arrived a long time ago and was just waiting. It was already half past five and he was getting a little anxious, fearing that something might happen.

At this time, I saw the flashlight flicker.

Then I swayed happily too.

Su Xia walked to Wang Weiguo's side and said, "Brother Wang, I'm sorry, I'm late."

"It's not too late. It's dark here and the road is hard to walk on. I understand."

"Okay, Brother Wang, take a look at these grains first. This is for my father, my second brother and my third brother."

Wang Weiguo walked up to Chen's father and shook his hand one by one. "Uncle, just call us Wang Weiguo, and my two younger brothers can call me Brother Wang. I know sister Su Xia very well."

Father Chen was personally flattered by Wang Weiguo's enthusiasm.

Su Xia looked at him helplessly, "Brother Wang, hurry up, it will be dawn if you dawdle any longer."

It's true that he doesn't even care about the time when reminiscing about the past.

"Yes, yes..."

Then he began to instruct the people he brought with him to start weighing and loading the truck. He also weighed Su Xia's 500 kilograms of coal and loaded it into Chen's father's truck.

Finally everything was done, and I gave Su Xia a lot of money and put it in her bag.

Su Xia didn't know, but this person shouldn't be bad.

"Brother Wang, we are leaving now. You can divide the 10 cabbages among yourself."

After saying that, Su Xia took Chen's father and others back.
