Chapter 36: Separation 5
In the end, the family was divided. The final result of the division was: Li Dachuan and Li Xiaomei's personal belongings were given to Li Dachuan, Li Dachuan's house belonged to Li Ergou, and the old house was given to Li Dachuan. Li Dachuan was also given ten kilograms of bran, five kilograms of sorghum rice, and thirty kilograms of sweet potatoes.
Originally, Wang Cuihua didn't want to give food, but the village chief was angry, so Li Ergou had no choice but to give it.
Li Dadan took Li Dachuan and Li Xiaomei to pack up their things and took them to the old house to settle down.
Arriving at the old house, Li Dachuan pushed open the fence made of branches. The branches on the fence were already moldy. One of the houses inside had collapsed. Although he had known that the house was not in good condition, he did not expect it to be so dilapidated. He had not even entered yet. What if it collapsed while he was sleeping at night?
Li Dadan saw Li Dachuan's hesitation and asked fearlessly, "Why are you scared? If you are scared, just go back."
Li Dachuan looked at Li Xiaomei. She was obviously eight years old, but she looked much younger than an ordinary eight-year-old child. He shook his head.
At this time, Ning Jing and the three brothers of the Ning family came out. Ning Xiaosan said, "Dachuanzi, come to our house for one night and we'll talk about it tomorrow!"
Li Dachuan looked at his good friend Ning Xiaosan and Ning Lao Da who had no objection, and the thatched house with leaks on all sides. He really didn't dare to live in it, for fear that he would fall asleep and never wake up.
Li Dachuan slept with the three brothers of the Ning family, and Li Xiaomei was assigned to sleep with Ning Jing.
"Gugu!"
What's that sound? Ning Jing looked at Li Xiaomei's stomach. In winter, the days are short, so she usually eats two meals a day. Maybe because she had lunch early today, Ning Jing also felt a little hungry. She looked at Boss Ning and said, "Brother, let's cook a meal tonight! Let's celebrate for Li Dachuan and Li Xiaomei!"
Boss Ning looked at Ning Jing deeply. It was like one who doesn’t manage the household knows how expensive food and fuel are!
In fact, Boss Ning also heard Li Xiaomei's stomach growling. It was the same for every family these days. Baoshan Village had little land, so the food allocated to the villagers was not much.
Forget it, just do it!
I really don’t know who my sister learned to be so generous from.
Ning Jing followed Boss Ning to the kitchen, wanting to help, but Boss Ning was reluctant to use Ning Jing, so he asked Ning Xiaosan to accompany Li Dachuan and Li Xiaomei, while Ning Xiaoer lit the fire and Ning Jing kept warm in the kitchen.
Ning Jing sat aside awkwardly, watching her two brothers busying around.
Boss Ning took out the bone soup from the morning and added some bones. Then he washed a few sweet potatoes and put them into the pot to cook. It was a very simple meal.
After a while, Ningjing smelled the aroma of meat.
The little nose twitches, so cute!
When Boss Ning saw this, he couldn't help but scratch Ning Jing's little nose.
He smiled and said, "Sister, we will be able to eat soon."
Although Ning Jing couldn't cook, she didn't want to just sit there and wait for food, so she accidentally glanced at the leftover food from the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen.
Hmm! That’s a little!
The grain was placed in a small jar. Boss Ning had just taken out the sweet potatoes and had not had time to cover it. Ning Jing saw that there were sorghum, wheat, and corn inside. These were all packed in a small bag. There were only about two or three pounds of wheat and corn, and there was more sorghum, about ten pounds. The rest were sweet potatoes and potatoes placed on the other side.
Ningjing opened another cabinet where grain was stored. There was only a little bran left in it, and there was only half a bag left.
