Not only does this brigade have simple folk customs, it also allowed him to find his brother who had been missing for many years. What a great place!
Thinking of this, Su Guangbai dug into his pocket and took out two White Rabbit candies and handed them to the siblings, "Here, have some candy."
The brother and sister did not take it, but looked at the village party secretary, who nodded and said, "Take it. Thank you, Uncle Su."
The brother and sister thanked him and took it.
Su Guangbai talked with the village party secretary for a while and then stood up to say goodbye.
After Su Guangbai left, Aunt Lu, the wife of the village party secretary, gasped at the things he brought. "Wow, what a generous gift! This bottle of wine, half a pound of peach cakes, and nearly half a pound of White Rabbit milk candy are all rare items. How much did this cost?"
The village party secretary smoked the old man's cigarette and nodded, "Let's take care of more educated youth in the future, otherwise it will be difficult to repay this favor."
Aunt Lu nodded in agreement, saying that she needed to take better care of these young educated youth.
Speaking of thanking, she remembered that her daughter had passed the exam to become a teacher and was working with the educated youth Xiao Su. She turned around and looked at her daughter and said, "Miao'er, you should help the educated youth Xiao Su more at school."
Duan Miao nodded. She was not someone who didn't know how to be grateful. "I understand, mother."
Aunt Lu thought for a moment and said, "Mom will make some food today. You can bring it to Xiao Su when you go to work tomorrow and let her and the other three educated youth share it."
Duan Miao nodded, "Okay."
The other side
After Su Guangbai returned to the Yun family, Su Mianmian and Su Qingqing had already packed their things.
Su Mianmian and Su Qingqing were preparing dry food for Su Guangbai in the kitchen.
The two of them had just made ten jars of meat sauce and ten jars of chili sauce.
The chili peppers from the Northwest region are quite delicious, not spicy but very fragrant.
Little Ayan played all day today and fell asleep early.
Hearing that Su Guangbai was coming, Su Mianmian took five cans of meat sauce and five cans of chili sauce out of the kitchen.
Su Qingqing took out a large sack from the house and pointed at it.
"Dad, this is for you to take away. Fang Zheng, you drive, so the peaches won't get dented. Oh, and this sauce is made by Mianmian herself, it's delicious."
Su Guangbai shook his head. "You guys keep it for yourself. I can always buy some when I go to Beijing."
"Dad, Mianmian and I are here to take care of grandma and the others. There's no place for you. Don't be so narcissistic." Su Qingqing said calmly.
When Su Guangbai heard this, he was furious. "Hey! You little bitch, I'll eat you! I'll eat you!"
Su Mianmian tried to hold back her laughter while listening to the conversation between the father and daughter.
"Uncle, you can take some back and try them. We have plenty left."
When Su Guangbai heard this, he stopped refusing and nodded.
"Okay, don't get too hard on yourselves. Eat and drink. If you run out of money, just give me a call and I'll send it to you."
As he spoke, he took out a handful of banknotes from his pocket, divided them into two parts, and stuffed one into Su Mianmian's hand. "Uncle hasn't bought you some decent gifts yet. Use this money to buy some food. Don't starve yourself."
After saying that, he always talked to his daughter. Although his daughter was sometimes a little leaky, it was not a big problem and did not make him, as a father, feel distressed.
He quietly gave the other one to Su Qingqing and said with a fierce face:
"Take these, don't starve yourself. Oh, and stay away from that brat. Don't agree too quickly, or people will think you're asking for it. Remember that!"
Although Su Qingqing usually quarreled with her father, she was reluctant to leave so early. She nodded and said unconvincedly:
"I see. Is your daughter the one who's rushing in?"
Su Guangbai patted her head and said, "I know my daughter well. I'm just worried that you'll be easily fooled by others. It's your fault for being so stupid."
Su Qingqing was quite moved by the first half of the sentence, but the second half was not pleasant to the ear.
But remembering that my father was about to leave, I didn't argue with him.
Seeing that the two had almost finished their conversation, Su Mianmian said:
"Uncle, there's water boiling in the kitchen. Go wash up and have a good sleep. You have to drive tomorrow!"
Su Guangbai nodded after hearing this.
"Okay. You two go to bed early because you'll be working tomorrow. I'm going to take a shower and then go to bed."
Su Mianmian and Su Qingqing went back to the room and lay down. Su Mianmian looked at Su Qingqing and felt a little depressed.
Su Mianmian touched her arm and comforted her.
"Don't be sad, it's not like we won't be able to see uncle anymore. If it really doesn't work out, you can go visit your relatives. Besides, grandma might be coming too."
"Yeah, I just feel a little reluctant." Su Qingqing said softly.
The two chatted until there was no movement in the yard, and then they fell asleep.
…
Su Mianmian and Su Qingqing got up early, steamed two baskets of big meat buns, and baked a few pancakes, packing them all up and preparing to give them to Su Guangbai as dry food.
After Su Guangbai woke up, he washed up and started packing his things.
"Uncle, don't forget this." Su Mianmian handed over the buns and pancakes. "Eat them if you're hungry on the way."
“Uncle Su, there are still these.” Shen Yuandao’s voice came from a distance.
He and Qin Huaichuan each carried a small package and handed it over.
Su Guangbai looked at so many things with a helpless and amused look on his face.
"You kids, I bought you some food, and now you're giving it back to me."
Su Qingqing loaded the things directly into the car. "Dad, hurry up. We have to go to work soon. Let's go after we pack up."
Su Guangbai nodded, "Okay, I'll be leaving now. You guys take care of yourselves."
The four of them waved until the car was out of sight, then they entered the Yun family.
Su Mianmian took out the remaining basket of meat buns and said, "You didn't have breakfast, did you? It's not too late to go to work after eating."
Shen Yuandao and Qin Huaichuan didn't hesitate and each took a meat bun and started eating.
"Qingqing, get them some malted milk. I'll go wake up Yan."
After Su Mianmian finished speaking, she walked into the room and saw little Ayan curled up on the kang, his sleeping face rosy and very cute.
Su Mianmian couldn't help but smile, walked up to him gently and patted his arm.
"Wake up! Lazy pig!"
There was no movement on the bed, so Su Mianmian repeated it again. This time, little Ayan opened his eyes in a daze. He rubbed his eyes with his chubby hands, and immediately grinned when he saw Su Mianmian.
He stretched out his hands, his meaning was obvious, "Sister, hug me."
Su Qingqing picked up little Ayan with a doting look on her face, "Sister will take you to wash your face. After washing, you can have some meat buns, okay?"
Hearing about meat buns, little Ayan became excited and urged them on.
"Great! The meat buns are delicious. Go wash your face, sister."
Su Mianmian nodded, dressed little Ayan, carried him out of the house, and after washing his face, they went to have breakfast.
After they had breakfast, it was still early, so Shen Yuandao and Qin Huaichuan sent the two to work.
After sending the people to the destination, they went to the threshing ground.
After Su Mianmian arrived, she took out the kettle she brought with her and took a sip of water. While she was chatting with Xiao Ayan, she heard a knock on the door.
