"What? Your second uncle's family stole meat?!"
Old Mrs. Song stood up suddenly, staring with her triangular eyes.
"I smelled it, and even heard the happy laughter of those money-losing bitches. Why should those money-losing bitches get to eat meat?"
Song Zishan, who looked like Liu Lanhua, stared with his small eyes, his dark, fat face twisted with jealousy. He pulled Old Lady Song's arm and yelled, "Grandma, I want to eat meat too, I want to eat meat too..."
"My dear grandson, when your uncle and his family come back, I will immediately ask your uncle to pay for the meat and candy, and not for the money-losing goods..."
After Mrs. Song coaxed him softly, she put her hands on her hips and cursed with a sarcastic look on her face, "You idiot! I should have strangled you to death..."
Liu Lanhua glared, "Second brother is blind. He was completely obsessed with that bitch. He even ignored his parents, older brother, and nephews. What a heartless person..."
In the dim room, the family sat together and talked.
"I officially transferred to the security department of the supply and marketing cooperative. My monthly salary is 45 yuan, and I also receive food coupons, meat coupons, cloth coupons, and other coupons every month. I also have to work night shifts every week, which I also receive subsidies for. The company also allocated me a dormitory..."
Facing the bright eyes of his wife and daughter, Song Guoliang couldn't help but smile on his usually cold face.
Du Xiaoying thought for a moment and said, "It takes you three or four hours to go back and forth every day. Not only is it tiring, but it doesn't matter if the weather is good. In winter, it's freezing cold and you won't be able to bear it for a long time. It's better to buy a bicycle so that you can go to the county and do anything convenient.
If the road is blocked by heavy snow, don't run back, just stay in your company dormitory."
Song Guoliang nodded. "Yes, but bicycle tickets are not easy to get. I will go to the office to inquire about it tomorrow."
"Wow~ Are we going to buy a bicycle?" Si Ya exclaimed, and her sisters were also full of anticipation.
"Well, I'll buy it once I get a bicycle ticket." Du Xiaoying nodded with a smile, got off the kang, took out a cloth bag, and took out the textbooks and new pencil notebook she found at the scrap station.
"I almost forgot about the important things. Let's start studying from today, learn a little every day, and when school starts in the fall, everyone except Xiaowu will go to school."
"Wuuuu~ Wu Ya wants to grow up quickly and go to school with her sisters." Wu Ya leaned on her mother and acted coquettishly.
Du Xiaoying nodded the little one's head and said, "You are still young, so play when you should."
What surprised the couple the most was that San Ya not only remembered things the fastest, but she could also draw inferences from one instance and her mind worked very quickly.
....
"Xiaoying, you—"
"Um?"
Du Xiaoying, who was about to fall asleep, heard the sound and opened her sleepy eyes in confusion.
"The mountain products that day... I know why you went to the county. Now I have a job, and I don't want you to take risks. What if..."
The man's deep voice exploded in her ears, and Du Xiaoying's sleepiness was instantly scared away.
Although I knew I couldn't keep it secret for long, I was still a little panicked when I was discovered so quickly.
After calming himself down for a long while, he slowly spoke, "Don't worry, I won't bring any trouble to you or the children. I just want... my children to have enough food and warm clothes."
"I did not mean that."
"I know!"
Du Xiaoying tried her best to ignore the sharp gaze beside her and closed her eyes.
"I'll be careful. Nothing is more important than starving and freezing. Besides... I know my limits."
The meeting ended in a bad mood, and the atmosphere in the room sank to the bottom.
Thinking of the scene in his dream, Song Guoliang exuded a sharp and terrifying aura. Even his breathing became heavier uncontrollably, and the knuckles hanging by his side turned white due to the force.
He will never let the same mistakes happen again!
Never!
.....
The next day
The stove in the main room was steaming hot, and Daya and Erya were quietly cooking.
Song Guoliang glanced outside the door, "Where's your mother?"
"Mom went out early in the morning. She said she was going to exchange eggs."
Song Guoliang immediately remembered his wife's mumbling to herself that night.
Little did they know that these people, who had been in battle for many years, had sharp hearing and heard every word...
On this side, Du Xiaoying had just come out from a few families with whom she had good relations. She had guessed early on that the old hen would probably be difficult to replace, so she didn't feel too regretful.
At that time, rural people relied on eggs to exchange for needles and thread, so if the old hens in a family stopped laying eggs, no one would be willing to kill the chickens. This is why there is a saying of "chicken butt bank".
I decided to go fishing in the river early in the morning. Crucian carp soup is also good for increasing milk production.
She put down the basket, took off her shoes, rolled up her trouser legs, stepped barefoot on the wet and cold mud, and tentatively stepped one foot into the clear river water. She was instantly shivered by the icy ground, and all the hairs on her body stood up.
"Hiss~ It's so cold."
The river water in the early morning was icy cold and it took some time to get used to it.
“You’re running too fast~”
Seeing that it had been such a long time and she still hadn't touched the fish's tail, Du Xiaoying couldn't help but feel a little impatient.
Song Guoliang looked down at the figure in the river who was so angry that he was splashed with water while trying to hit the water, and chuckled softly.
"cough--"
She hadn't caught any fish and her clothes were wet. She was already furious. Turning around, she met the man's half-smile. Du Xiaoying's face suddenly darkened and she said unhappily.
“The chicken feather is stuck!!”
Song Guoliang coughed lightly and shook the wooden barrel in his hand. "Let's go home and take care of the fish."
Du Xiaoying's eyes lit up, and she immediately became energetic. She ran barefoot to the shore and saw four fish wagging their tails in the barrel. She was surprised and delighted, "Did you catch all of them?"
