Guan Guan thought about it and it made sense. His father would buy him his favorite milk candies, egg cakes, and dried fish, which his mother would not let him eat.
Dad was still very nice. He said in a soft voice, "Well, then Dad... is barely a baby in the can."
That alms-like expression made the two of them laugh.
Miao Xiuying was talking with saliva flying all over the place as she arranged all the tasks, with a clear division of labor. Everyone remembered what they had to do, and then they picked up their chopsticks to eat.
At night, there was no room in the house, so Miao Xiuying took them to a guesthouse. Lu Jiandang came on a 28-inch bicycle, but he and Zhang Yulan did not stay overnight and rode back home.
Jiang Yan slept soundly with the baby. When she woke up in the morning, He Miao had already prepared breakfast.
It was her favorite pumpkin porridge, and she also made dozens of fresh, spicy meat patties, and steamed big meat buns and white flour buns that were popular with men.
These were all made by Jin Xi Niang, and they taste so delicious.
Aunt Hu and Qin Huan were still a little embarrassed, "Xiao He, you've worked hard, getting up early to do all this! You're a good cook, and the food is so delicious!"
He Miao was graceful and gentle, and spoke softly, "Aunt, as long as you like it, no matter how hard it is, I will be happy in my heart. I will buy some meat and vegetables at noon and show you my cooking skills.
It's a rare opportunity for you to come here, so I have to treat you well. There is not much to do in the city.
Let Xiao Li take you back to the countryside to pick mushrooms and dig medicinal herbs in the mountains. If you are lucky, you can even hunt pheasants, rabbits, etc. "
Brigade Commander Song's eyes lit up, "Can you hunt?"
He Miao scratched his head, unsure: "Xiao Yan has hit me before, I'm just unlucky."
Brigade Commander Song immediately made the decision, "Old Lu, do you want to go? Let's go to the mountains and hunt some pheasants. We can have a meat dish for dinner. We haven't had game like this for a long time."
Lu Jianguo said loudly: "Okay, if we encounter a big wild boar or something, we won't have to worry about the New Year."
Brigade Commander Song laughed, "There are also wild boars? There aren't many mountains on the island, unlike here, where the mountains are continuous and undulating. There are really a lot of good things!"
Lu Jianguo said confidently, "Yes, I did, but I didn't dare let anyone know."
Because they were too poor, he asked Miao Xiuying to move to the black market to sell her goods, which could also bring some income to the family.
If he handed such a large prey over to the team, those people would not remember his kindness. They might even suspect that he had caught more in private and would report him.
It is better to have less trouble than more. That wild boar helped his family survive for several years and at least paid for half of the famine.
Brigade Commander Song quickened his eating pace, planning to leave after finishing his meal. He couldn't stand sitting here like a wooden block.
Qin Huan and Aunt Hu had no time to kill, so Miao Xiuying suggested: "Why don't we take a bullock cart back to the countryside together? I'll go to the brigade to notify everyone one by one, and you can also go into the mountains to pick up some mountain products."
This is another different experience from going to the beach. Aunt Hu nodded hurriedly, "She also said she wanted to go out for a walk with Qin Meier. It's good to go back to the countryside. I haven't been back to my hometown for many years. I spent the New Year in the army."
The main reason is that the elderly on both sides have passed away, and the brothers are living their own lives, so there is no need to go back.
Qin Huan also showed great interest. After eating, everyone packed up and prepared to set off.
As soon as I opened the door, I heard a quarrel next door.
Jiang Yan asked Miao Xiuying, "Mom, isn't that Aunt Liu's house? Why is there a quarrel? Do you want to go over and take a look?"
Other families also poked their heads out, looking curious, but did not come closer to watch the fun.
Aunt Liu is usually a kind person and is very caring towards her neighbors. Why did they start quarreling for no reason?
The door was not closed, and the 1.70-meter-tall man could be seen yelling in a defensive voice, "Boss, Boss, you are always the boss. From childhood to adulthood, you only see the boss. We support you with all our family's strength. What else do you want me to do?
I have been a filial son for a long time. Did you only give birth to him? If you give him everything good, we will not be your sons.
My second son and I are so tired from working around the clock, but you, as a mother, have never felt sorry for us. He is your baby, we adopted him, and we will let him take care of you in your old age.
You divided the family property, but there is not a penny left. You are just giving alms to beggars. It is better not to divide the family property at all. Is this how you divide the family property? I think you are making fun of yourself!
You just gave us some pots, pans, and utensils, and they were all used? You are too unreasonable. "
The second oldest who had been silent the whole time also exploded, "We know that you are not as promising as the eldest, but you can't be so mean. Who would believe that you don't have a penny?
If you want to divide it this way, you will cut off all ties with us and we will treat you as if you don’t have a mother! Let him take care of you in your old age and see you to the end of your life. If you get sick or in pain, let him take care of you.”
Aunt Liu's chest kept rising and falling, and her eyes were full of disappointment in them.
When the people in the slum heard the noise, they all swarmed over. It would be a shame not to watch a show like this, let alone something as exciting as the division of the family.
Someone came out to try to reconcile them, "Old Liu, as the saying goes, as long as the parents are alive, the family will not be divided. If there is anything, sit down and talk it out. There is no overnight hatred between mother and son."
"Liu Lao Er, Liu Lao San, she is not right, but she is your mother. What's your attitude? You don't take the old people seriously. I think you have read a lot of books."
Liu Laoer worked at the National Cotton Mill. In order to prevent him from going to the countryside, Aunt Liu transferred her job to him. The salary and benefits were good. Who wouldn't be envious of him in the slum?
Liu Laoer's work was not so good, but the two elders paid for the house. It can be said that she was very good to all three sons. Why do people still think that she was partial to the eldest son?
Liu Lao Da is a school teacher. He looks gentle and speaks kindly. "In the past, my family owed a lot of debts for my studies. After I started working, I handed over all my wages. Have you ever taken a penny home after working?
