Feng Guodong said calmly, "I am still the same as before. I can't die, but I can't live. Your mother is old. She helped you do a lot of work in the past. She was exhausted, but she didn't survive. Now she is not healthy anymore, but you guys drove her out."
"I, Dad, I'm sorry." Feng Xinliang felt extremely guilty.
Feng Guodong waved his hand and asked him to go back.
Feng Xinliang said, "Let me help you fetch water."
Zhang said angrily, "No one is home today and no one is using water. It's full, so you don't need to pick it up."
"Then I'll help you chop wood."
"No, the kitchen is full of firewood."
"Then I..."
"Alright, boss, hurry up. Humph, I need your help, but you can't help me."
He knew that his parents were sick, and as the only son, he should pay for their treatment.
But he couldn't afford it.
In the end, he left with a look of guilt.
Feng Mian said, "Anyway, my uncle can't get anything out of my stingy aunt. Grandma, what you said will only make him feel bad."
"He deserves it. Let him be a wimp."
Feng Mian didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Grandma, we have to go to school in a few days. We also have classes in the evening, so we may not be able to come back at night. After we leave, it will be just you and grandpa here."
"It's okay. Just go to school without worry. I'll be at home with you. Besides, your uncle doesn't live far away."
Feng Guodong, who was in a wheelchair, also said: "You don't have to worry about us. We only care about our own three meals a day. All the work such as fetching water and chopping firewood is done by your uncle and two cousins."
Zhang smiled and said, "Yes, I am living a very comfortable life now. Look, I have made dozens of fans these days. I will sell them in the county town later."
Women of this generation all knew many traditional skills. Take Zhang for example, she made fans in the summer and sewed shoe soles in the autumn and winter. She can make everything, from pickles and spicy vegetables to fermented tofu and chili sauce.
In the past, she had to take care of that family and didn't have much time to do these chores. But recently, she has had some free time and has done a lot of them.
Feng Mian arranged household affairs before school started.
A lot of rock sugar, white sugar, rice oil were prepared.
Normally they ate lard made by themselves, or used coupons to exchange for rapeseed oil.
Lard is greasy, while rapeseed oil is fragrant, but has a strong smell.
Feng Mian then ordered some light-flavored olive oil for them.
It was packed in a plastic barrel used for rapeseed oil, and they said it was soybean oil bought from the city, and they believed it.
After all, they haven't eaten soybean oil yet.
The deposits in a certain treasure have increased again, alas! Even though she had bought in a lot of goods to sell recently, she still hadn't spent more than two or three hundred million to increase the interest rate.
…
Feng Mian and Gu Yuelin went to school together and each had a dormitory.
It’s a bit of a waste actually, as they only live in the dormitories occasionally.
What's rare is that it's a four-person room. Among the three girls who share the dormitory with Feng Mian, two are from other places and one is a local. Like Feng Mian, she probably goes back home to live normally.
"My home is on Ping'an Street. I usually ride my bike here and it only takes about ten minutes. Fengmian, where is your home?" The girl was very clear and her name was Chu Wen.
Feng Mian said, "I'm in the countryside, Fengjia Village. I guess you haven't heard of it. It's about ten miles from the city, which is not too far."
"Oh, that's fine. You can go home on weekends."
"Yes."
"The man who helped you carry your luggage just now, is he your brother?"
Gu Yuelin had been tanned recently from harvesting rice. Even though Feng Mian forced him to apply enough sunscreen, it couldn't protect him from the scorching sun in August.
But even with the tan, he is still very handsome.
