"Don't be reluctant to eat the steamed buns and eggs I brought with me. As for the malted milk and canned brown sugar, keep them for yourself and your father. Don't think of giving them to your sons and grandchildren. You can share the candy and other things with them later.

You can ask your sisters-in-law to pick out clothes later and make all the winter clothes before winter comes.

Here is 500 yuan. You can buy cloth and cotton wool first to make cotton-padded clothes for your brothers. Go to the supply and marketing department and find a girl named Wang Hong. She knows me and will find you a good one. You can keep the rest of the money to buy some meat for your daily meals."

Li Ruiying listened to Su Li's ramblings, holding the money in her hand. She would be lying if she said she wasn't touched. Her daughter has changed a lot. She used to only care about herself dressing well and made the children look sloppy. Now, if you look closely, the children have fat on their faces. And she used to worry about everything for her daughter.

Whenever she had problems, she would seek support from her brothers, and she had never been humble to any of the other children in the family. The daughters-in-law were kind to her and her spouse, and had never given her, the sister-in-law, a hard time.

How could she not be happy that her daughter was sensible now? The clothes worn by the children were also brand new. Her daughter had really grown up.

"I don't want the money. It's so much money, how long will it take to save it? You can keep it for yourself. I still have money to buy cotton." Li Ruiying stuffed the money into Su Li's hand.

"Mom, take it! When I have time, I will go to the city to buy a bicycle for my fifth brother. He has been walking to work in the city all the time, no matter how cold it is in winter. His hands are cracked and bleeding from the cold."

Li Ruiying glared at Su Li and said, "You're still buying a bicycle? Why don't you go to heaven?" She glanced outside the door, grabbed Su Li's hand and asked, "Tell mom how you got so much money."

Su Li held Li Ruiying's shoulders and said, "Mom, Xie Zhengchuan's pension has come down, more than 5,000 yuan. I gave 1,000 yuan to my grandmother, and I also wrote an article and sent it out, and I got a lot of royalties. Don't worry, I will be filial to you and dad in the future, and our family will not be bad."

Su Li had money in her own space, and she didn't touch Xie Zhengchuan's pension. However, it was difficult to tell her mother, so she could only use Xie Zhengchuan's name.

Li Ruiying felt the 500 yuan was a little hot in her hands. "I can't take it. This is Zhengchuan's hard-earned money. How can I give it away? It's better to keep it for the children."

Although Su Li felt a little helpless, she liked Li Ruiying's character more and more. "Mom, what you are buying is earned by me, not Xie Zhengchuan's hard-earned money. It is my royalties. Don't worry."

Li Ruiying looked at Su Li in confusion, "Why didn't I know you could write articles? You weren't very good at school, were you?"

Su Li's mouth twitched, "Ouch! I'll bring the manuscript over to show you next time, okay? It's true."

Li Ruiying was embarrassed, "Mom, you are talking nonsense. My daughter definitely has this ability. Please don't give it to me. I get a headache just by looking at the words."

The mother and daughter had a heart-to-heart talk, and their relationship improved a lot. Li Ruiying hid the money and went to buy cotton wool and cloth in the next two days to make winter clothes for the family so that they could live a warm and comfortable life.

After greeting a few daughters-in-law and Su Lan, Su Fang came into the room to pick out clothes. Su Lan and Su Fang were both a few years younger than Su Li, so they had clothes to wear. Su Lan was also at the age of getting married, so it was appropriate for her to wear something bright.

The daughters-in-law and granddaughters of the Su family expressed their gratitude and thanks to Su Li! The sister-in-law had always been indifferent to them before, but she never gave them a cold look. Although the clothes she gave were old, they were no different from new ones. They had never worn such good fabrics.

These clothes were all fit perfectly, and there were three rolls of new cloth, so each of the children could make a new cotton-padded jacket.

Each of them selected several sets of clothes, and those that didn't fit were collected and altered to give to the children. Thinking that the children wouldn't be cold in the winter, everyone's face was filled with happy smiles.

Li Ruiying gave all the White Rabbit candies that Su Li brought to her grandchildren, one for each. The children cherished them very much. Hei Xixi held a piece of candy in his little hand and licked it carefully.

Su Li felt sad as she looked at the people. Perhaps from an outsider's perspective, people of this era were really hardworking, motivated, hardworking, and pitiful.

Li Ruiying called a few daughters-in-law to start cooking, making more delicious food for noon every day. Some picked vegetables, some made fire, and they were busy and happy.

Su Li wanted to help, but her sisters-in-law refused, so how could she let her sister-in-law do anything? So Su Li moved a small stool and sat at the kitchen door to chat with her sisters-in-law.

When Su Changshun got home, he saw Su Li sitting at the kitchen door, holding her chin with her hand and chatting with his daughters-in-law. He was a little angry. The daughters-in-law had been working all morning, but his daughter just sat there waiting for food and didn't even help.

"Hey! Who is this? Whose eldest daughter is this?"

Su Li watched Su Changshun walk slowly into the yard with his back hunched and his hands behind his back. He was a man in his sixties, with white hair on his temples, and still a little stubborn.

Su Li stood up and said in a soft voice, "Dad, I'm here."

Perhaps he had not expected his daughter to have such an attitude. Su Changshun was stunned for a moment, then he said angrily: "You still remember to come? I thought you had forgotten your parents?"

As he was talking, he suddenly felt sad. He had five sons and he thought that this would be the life for them. But who would have thought that an old woman who was almost 40 could still get pregnant? At that time, his eldest son was already engaged. He felt so embarrassed.

The old woman took a whole day and night to give birth to her daughter. He was so happy that he couldn't sleep for several days. Now he was in his forties, but suddenly he felt that life was so fulfilling. He held his soft and tender little daughter in his hands for fear of losing her, and held her in his mouth for fear of her melting.

In order for her to live a good life, I work for others from morning till night and am so tired that I can't even straighten my back every day. But as long as I can hear her soft voice "Daddy" when I get home, I feel satisfied from the bottom of my heart.

The daughter I had raised with great difficulty grew up and was quite successful. Not only did she go to high school, she also got a formal job and married a soldier, who also gave her an allowance.

I thought my daughter would live a happy life in the future, but I didn't expect that everything would change after she had the child. She would gossip about the neighbors, curse, and beat the child. There was nothing she would not dare to do.

He was so angry that he couldn't sleep every day. He could endure other things, but how could he beat the children like that? Once when he went to see her, he saw several children as thin as little monkeys, wearing toe-exposed shoes in the cold weather, with messy hair, eating hot water around a stove.

He got angry and scolded her a few words, but she didn't know she was wrong and even wanted to beat the child in front of him. She also threatened that she would never come home again and that she was living a good life so he shouldn't depend on her.

Thinking of this, Su Changshun turned his head with red eyes, put the good dry pipe in his mouth and snorted.

Su Liqian stepped forward and hugged Su Changshun's arm, shaking it, "Dad, I know I was wrong, please don't be angry, I was ignorant before and made you worry, I will definitely live a good life in the future, take good care of the children, and be filial to my mother-in-law. You have loved me the most since I was a child, please forgive me!"

Su Changshun glanced at Su Li, then patted Su Li with tears in his eyes, asking him to really hit her, as he couldn't bear it.

He touched Su Li's forehead and Su Li smiled.

"Okay, okay, old man, your daughter has finally come to you, so don't be angry. I don't know who it is, but he misses your daughter so much every day that he can't sleep at night." Li Ruiying joked.

"You old woman, if you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb! Humph." He rubbed his eyes, feeling a little embarrassed. His son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren were all looking at him, so he still had to maintain the dignity of a head of the family.

Su Li looked at Su Changshun's back and exchanged glances with Li Ruiying. Both mother and daughter smiled. At noon, they made a large pot of cabbage, pork and vermicelli stew, a plate of leeks and eggs, heated 30 white flour buns, a basket of sweet potatoes, and a pot of steamed potatoes.

The Su family hadn't eaten meat for a long time, so they finished the whole pot of pork vermicelli without leaving any part, and the whole family was very satisfied.

Su Li wanted the Su family to live a better life, but she was bound by the times. Apart from trading on the black market to quickly accumulate wealth, she had no other faster channels. Not only did the times not allow it, but even people's wallets today did not allow it.

Wait a minute, Su Li said to herself, in a day or two she will be able to show her skills.
