If it were an honest person, Xiao Aiguo might have fooled him.
But Jiang Shixun is different.
He smiled and said clearly, "Xiao Lin wants to find his parents, and you are willing to help him find them, which is of course great. But so many years have passed, it may not be easy to find this child's parents.
Apart from anything else, the time alone would take up quite a bit. I'd love to help, but my wife is pregnant now, and if I go back I'll have to earn work points to support the whole family, so I'm afraid I won't have the time to help him.
That's why I want to ask, Comrade Xiao, what are your plans? It's easy for Xiao Lin to go back, but he's just a child, and he needs to eat, drink, defecate and urinate when he goes back. How are you going to solve these problems?
He could live in the cowshed, but he was only six years old and it wasn't safe for him to live alone. If he didn't live in the cowshed, he would have to find another place to live.
And then there was the food rations he would have when he got home. He wasn't eating much, but he still needed to eat. Nowadays, the countryside was not well-off, and no family could afford to feed an extra person.
Comrade Xiao, since you want Xiao Lin to go back, you have to consider these practical issues. You can't let the child go back and starve, right? "
Jiang Shixun pretended not to realize that Xiao Aiguo wanted to throw Xiao Lin's trouble to him, and deliberately spoke in a tone that helped Xiao Aiguo analyze the situation, which made Xiao Aiguo very angry, but he couldn't refute it.
He couldn't say that he just wanted Jiang Shixun to solve these troubles.
With so many people watching, even if he thought so in his heart, he couldn't say it out loud. How could he afford to lose face?
Just at this moment, Jiang Zhiying ran out.
She stood beside Jiang Shixun, looking at the people outside with curiosity with her big black eyes. Her chubby and cute appearance quickly captured everyone's heart, and everyone's heart melted when they saw her, and they couldn't wait to steal her back.
This child is so beautiful. Although she is a girl, she is so cute. It would be great if she was their child!
When Xiao Aiguo saw her, his eyes flashed, and he immediately said with a smile: "Zhuzhu, do you still remember Grandpa Xiao?"
Jiang Zhiying glanced at Xiao Aiguo and Du Yue'e. Seeing Du Yue'e holding a little boy, who was also looking at her, she smiled and said, "I remember you were Grandpa Xiao who lived in the cowshed. Before, Xiao Lin had nothing to eat, so he ran to the water to catch fish. He secretly asked me to exchange some rice and flour for it, saying that he wanted to give it to you."
Although private transactions were still prohibited at that time, they did not sell the goods for money, but just exchanged them for some rice. Even if someone really wanted to find fault, it would be impossible to accuse them of any crime based on this incident alone.
What's more, Jiang Zhiying deliberately said that Xiao Lin asked her to exchange them. They have two children, one six years old and the other four years old. Is it possible that someone would come to catch them for speculation?
What a joke!
She only dared to speak out because she was young.
Although she didn't know what happened to Xiao Lin, didn't she know Xiao Lin? This guy was a time traveler just like her, so how could he suddenly go looking for his biological parents?
Old Man Xiao said this, either because he disliked Xiao Lin as a burden and didn't want him anymore. Or, Xiao Lin had encountered something in the Xiao family and didn't want to live with this old man anymore.
No matter what the reason, she was definitely doing the right thing by helping Xiao Lin.
Although Xiao Lin is her mortal enemy, they came from the end of the world together, so they are fellow villagers.
Who is Old Man Xiao?
