"Mother, here are five feet of flowered cloth I bought for you. Make some clothes for yourself and your sister."

For three years, mother Su Hong has never left her child's side and has raised him with great difficulty. She hasn't worn a new set of clothes in several years.

"Xiaoguang, mother has clothes to wear, so let's make a set of clothes for your grandma with the flowered cloth."

Su Hong was deeply touched that her eldest son was thinking of her, but she still abided by her duties as a daughter-in-law and thought of her parents-in-law and children first.

"Xiaohong, this is a gift from your eldest son. I can't accept it. Besides, an old woman like me can't wear such a bright color outside the house."

The eldest grandson bought flowered cloth for his daughter-in-law to make clothes. The old lady didn't feel uncomfortable at all. She thought that there was really no fault to find with her daughter-in-law.

"Mom, I'm working and earning a salary now. When I get the cloth coupons in a few days, I'll buy some for my grandma."

Zhang Shuguang stuffed the cloth into his mother's hands.

In a few days, if he could get another 100 kilograms of fish for the factory, Director Wang would probably not be stingy with a few feet of cloth coupons. Zhang Shuguang was very confident.

"Shengli, Panpan, look what big brother bought for you?"

Under the expectation of his younger brothers and sisters, Zhang Shuguang opened the last paper package on the table.

"What is this?"

The little girl had never seen toffee before.

"I know, sister. This is White Rabbit Milk Candy. Dad brought it back when he came home to visit. It's so fragrant and sweet."

Although Zhang Shengli was only five years old when Zhang Xiangnan disappeared, the little bit of sweetness during those difficult years was enough to become a permanent memory in the child's heart.

"But why doesn't Daddy come back now? Panpan hasn't seen Daddy yet!"

This time, the little girl did not immediately stick to her big brother to ask for candy, but murmured to herself.

"Sister, Dad is on a secret mission and will be back when he completes it."

Zhang Shuguang cursed his cheap father a hundred times in his heart, you are so great, sacrificing your own family for the sake of everyone, you really don’t care about the life and death of your family members!

You must not come back. When you come back, I will make you kneel down in front of your grandparents, kowtow and admit your mistake, and let your mother scratch your face.

"Sister, eat candy."

Zhang Shuguang peeled a White Rabbit milk candy and put it in his sister's mouth.

"It's big, very sweet."

A whole piece of White Rabbit milk candy can prevent the little girl from curling her tongue when she speaks.

"Grandpa, grandma, mom, you all eat."

"Victory, take it and eat it yourself."

While inviting his younger brother to eat candy, Zhang Shuguang peeled a few pieces of candy and stuffed them directly into the mouths of his grandparents and mother.

If he didn't do this, the elders would not be willing to eat the candy.

"Sweet, really sweet. My eldest grandson is capable. We finally have hope for the future."

The old lady had a candy in her mouth and a smile on her face, but she couldn't help but cry.

These past few years have been so hard.

Zhang Shuguang actually has 20 kilograms of White Rabbit milk candy stored in his system space, and he can buy it or not.

However, most of the bills nowadays have a time limit. If they are not spent by the due date, they will become invalid.

Of course, a pound of milk candy tickets can be exchanged for a few dollars on the black market, but now Zhang Shuguang has a huge sum of more than 800 yuan in his hands, so he really doesn't care about this.

"Grandpa and grandma, you guys take a rest. Shengli will go to the kitchen with me to serve the food."

After the two little brothers brought the food into the main room, the family prepared to eat.

Today we had braised meat and bone soup again, and each person had a big sweet potato.

The two big grass carps were still swimming happily in the wooden basin, and the rice and flour were still in the measuring tank.

Liu Guixiang, who is frugal and thrifty, would not touch the two fish until the braised meat and bones were finished.

"Grandpa, please have a drink to relieve your fatigue!"

Shuguang took out a bottle of Moutai liquor, which scared the old man so much that his face changed drastically. Before he could say anything, he heard a slight crisp sound, and the Moutai liquor had been opened.

"Grandson, a bottle costs several dollars, and you just opened it like that? You can save it for the guests at home!"

The old man's face was full of heartache.

"Drink it now, my eldest grandson. Don't let him down. We don't have any guests at home."

Liu Guixiang smiled bitterly.

When my second son was still an officer, although our house was not always crowded, people did come to visit from time to time.

Later, when something happened to his son, not only did his former relatives and friends become ungrateful, but even his eldest son, that ungrateful son, distanced himself from his family.

"Don't we still have our eldest daughter? We can drink with our son-in-law during the New Year!"

Seeing that his wife was in a low mood, the old man immediately mentioned his eldest daughter and her family.

"My eldest daughter's family is indeed a good family. Don't you have another bottle? Save it for the New Year to drink with your son-in-law."

When talking about her eldest daughter, Liu Guixiang smiled again.

The old couple raised four children in total. The eldest, Zhang Yue'e, was a daughter. Zhang Xiangdong and Zhang Xiangnan were the second and third children. The youngest daughter was Zhang Yuejiao.

The eldest daughter, Zhang Yue'e, has been sensible since she was a child. As soon as she could walk, she helped her mother take care of her younger brother. At the age of seven or eight, she began to take care of her younger siblings and cook at the same time. Later, she married to Guwan Village in the neighboring Baishi Commune.

The eldest son-in-law's family is also sensible. The relationship between the two families has always been very close. Even when Zhang Xiangnan got into trouble, the eldest daughter's family did not distance themselves from him for fear of being implicated.

The young girl Zhang Yuejiao married and moved to the county town. Although she did not explicitly say that she wanted to draw a clear line between them like Zhang Xiangdong did, she has not visited him for three years.

"Grandpa and grandma, if you miss my aunt, I'll take you to see her on my tricycle tomorrow."
