Jianjun and his three children didn't go out today; the weather was too cold. They decided to stay home and study hard. Jianjun took advantage of the snowy weather to cook and made extra food to put in his online space.
“Jianjun, I will go up the mountain next spring. I feel like I’ve lost out because I’ve delayed for a year.”
"Not making money is losing money; you're such a little money-grubber all day."
"Pshaw, honey, we have five kids now, so why don't we cheer up and get back on track? These kids are already getting good opportunities now, and our efforts as parents are their starting point."
"Honey, don't think about these things now. The snow is so thick outside today. Let's see what we can eat to complement the snow."
The three little ones at home, watching their parents talk about food, are slowing down their homework and wondering what to eat themselves.
“Jianjun, look at our Zhuzi. He gets distracted as soon as food is mentioned. He’s just a little pig.”
When Jianjun saw his son's pathetic state, he tapped his son's nose to bring him back to his senses.
"Hehe, Zhu Zi laughed shyly, 'Mom, let's have hot pot.'"
"This child is just like us, we both love hot pot, let's make a whole yin-yang pot," Tingting said as she got off the kang (heated brick bed) to prepare the delicious food, while Jianjun watched the child do his homework.
After finishing writing and tidying up, the children started preparing rice. For the first six months, Tingting could only eat boiled rice, and her mouth watered at the sight of the spicy food. Zhuzi loved spicy food, so Tingting dared not let them eat too much.
Liang Tiantian's life wasn't so peaceful. There wasn't enough food, and she hadn't gone up the mountain after the autumn harvest. She had no choice but to borrow grain from the production team.
I also felt that these three people were stingy; they wouldn't even lend me some food when I asked them, and they had no sense of community at all.
She forgot that gathering firewood on the mountain is much more tiring than sweeping the yard or doing any other work. She has no gratitude whatsoever, and she'll still act smug when others leave her alone.
When Qin's grandson saw Liang Tiantian go to the team to borrow grain, he knew that she definitely wouldn't have enough to eat, but his grandmother wouldn't let him go to help her right now, so he just kept waiting.
Liang Tiantian brought back the grain from the team, feeling a bit heavy-hearted. Although she had money, she couldn't buy any grain, and she dared not go to the city, having heard about what had happened before.
We have to exchange work points for grain, but I can't do as much work as others to earn work points, and I can't borrow grain every year. After finishing my work, I don't have the strength to go up the mountain. I'm so worried.
When Guodong and the other two saw Liang Tiantian return with the grain she had borrowed from the team, they didn't say anything. They themselves didn't have enough grain to last until next year, yet they lent it to her. At the time, everyone else went up the mountain, but she refused. She was lazy. As long as you are diligent, you won't go hungry.
Liang Tiantian also had a lot of complaints about them, but there were three of them and she was alone, so she didn't dare to say anything and waited until there were more people to talk to them.
Another thing is to write to my parents to see when I can go back home, because it's too hard and I can't take it anymore.
Qin Yecai's younger sister is also of marriageable age and has taken a liking to Guodong. She feels that he is refined and cultured and is very envious. She wants to ask him if he is willing and wants to find an opportunity to strike up a conversation.
Guodong was working over there, clearing snow, when he looked up and saw Qin Shumiao.
"What's wrong? Is something the matter?" Guodong asked her, puzzled.
"Well, I noticed you're shoveling snow and it's quite cold, so here are some gloves I made for you," Qin Shumiao said shyly.
"I don't need it. Thank you, but it's too valuable. You can keep it for yourself."
Guodong knew what she meant, but he didn't know when he would have to go home, and there was no future for them. Even if they were together, they wouldn't have anything to talk about, so he didn't want to give her any hope and refused to answer.
