“Hate~~” Lu Baozhu shyly patted Shen Anan twice.
She has just gotten a formal job and doesn't know where her partner is yet.
"Baozhu, what are you talking about with your third sister-in-law? Come in and tell your mother how things have been going recently." Mother Lu shouted to her daughter outside.
The girl has now gone to work in the county town, and she hasn't asked her how she is doing in the city.
"Nothing. By the way, where is my father? Mom, what did you see in the capital? Tell me about it." Lu Baozhu asked.
When she learned that her own father had such an awesome older brother, she also longed for it in her heart.
Unfortunately, she couldn't go with him because she had just found a new job at that time.
"What's the big deal? It's just a little bigger than our county town, with more things, and people on the streets are dressed better..." Mother Lu said after carefully recalling the situation.
But it is indeed much better over there than here, and the houses there look much taller, so she still has a good impression of it.
Lu Baozhu asked again, "What about uncle? I heard he's a big boss. Doesn't his family eat much better than ours?"
After all, you are a leader, so you should be able to eat meat for every meal, right?
"The food is better than ours. He only has meat for one meal a day. I think it's because your father and I went there, and your uncle took out the rations from home to eat. Maybe he will have to eat only vegetarian food after we leave."
It wasn't her guess, but she had seen that not all meals in other families in the compound contained meat.
"Is that so? Then it seems that the leaders may not necessarily live better than us." Lu Baozhu was a little disappointed.
I originally thought that a leader who could become a general would definitely live a good life, but I didn't expect that he might not even be able to eat meat every day. It seems that he is not much better than them.
"What do you know? Even if they eat vegetarian food, there are special cooks to prepare it! There is a food shortage everywhere now, and it's good enough to have white flour and rice to eat."
On their way back, they heard that people in many places were eating Guanyin soil. This year, many people in the village were probably eating grass roots and tree bark.
Didn't Shen An'an's aunt send her grandson to the army because she had nothing to eat, just because of a phone call from her son and two tickets given by the new daughter-in-law?
"Hey, Mom, now that you're talking about this, I remember that our supply and marketing cooperative hasn't received any snacks this year. This year's food shortage is definitely worse than last year."
Lu Baozhu sighed a little. She originally thought that there would be more good things at the supply and marketing cooperative in the county town, and she could also rely on the internal employees to buy some good things in advance.
Who knew that this year would be even worse than last year, and the supply and marketing cooperative in the county town didn’t sell anything delicious.
"There's a food shortage everywhere, and we can't stay at your uncle's house any longer, lest we waste his rations. It's more practical to go home and farm and earn work points."
What Lu's mother said was a little funny but also very helpless.
"Mom always jokes. What's so good about farming? Uncle is a leader after all. Wouldn't it be great if you could stay in the capital?"
Her uncle is so capable, it would be great if he could help their family settle down in the capital, so that she can still go there in the future even if she is not very skilled.
"What are you thinking? With so many of our family members here, how could we possibly go to the capital?"
Mother Lu looked at her daughter speechlessly. This girl was dreaming of beautiful things every day.
"I know, I'm just telling you!" Lu Baozhu replied helplessly.
Mother Lu turned to look at Wang Zhaodi and asked:
"By the way, how much wheat did the team harvest this year?"
It was time to harvest the wheat before they left, and when they came back the wheat had already been harvested.
She wanted to know how bad this year's harvest was.
"This year's is even lower than last year's, not even half of previous years." Wang Zhaodi replied with a frown.
The wheat situation in the entire county was similar. The harvest was too low. Before her mother-in-law and her family came back, her mother and her brother came to her house to ask for food, but she drove them away.
"That's right. The price of eggs sold outside has risen to 20 cents each, and it is said that the price is still rising." Lu Baozhu also replied.
After this year's harvest, everything has doubled in value. If she hadn't been working in the county, she might have had to eat coarse food this year.
"Eggs are only 20 cents each? It seems that life will be even harder this year." Lu's mother sighed.
Thinking of the little food at home, she suddenly felt that it would be okay to stay in the capital for a few more days.
“…”
Shen Anan didn't say anything. She glanced at the 500 kilograms of food left in her space and felt that it was a bit too little.
She planned to visit the black market and stock up on some more things when she went to the county town.
I don’t know if the second-hand dealer whose house he robbed is still around. Many of the things he collected are still lying in the living room, unused.
"A-choo~ A-choo~"
In a small courtyard next to the black market in the county town, Ye Wenxuan sneezed twice and rubbed his nose.
I don't know who is talking about him, but I have a feeling that it's not good.
Thinking about the things that were stolen a few months ago and he still hasn't found them, he felt a little uneasy.
Fortunately, his family is well-off, otherwise he would not be able to regain this new territory for a while.
He is now more conscientious in his transactions and has made up for all his losses in the past few months.
The next day, Shen Anan originally wanted to go for a walk in the county town, but was called back to her mother's house by her own mother.
Seeing her grandmother holding Tiedan with a loving look on her face, Shen Anan felt as if she had seen a ghost.
She looked at Yang Hongmei and asked softly:
"Mom, is grandma possessed by a ghost? Why is she smiling so... kindly?"
This grandmother used to have a stern face towards everyone in their family, even towards her eldest brother's son. Why is she so kind to this great-grandson?
Yang Hongmei slapped Shen Anan in anger: "What are you talking about? Your grandma is in a good mood, what nonsense are you talking about?"
But she also felt that her daughter was right. Could it be that her mother-in-law had changed her personality?
"Tiedan, do you think your great-grandmother's house is good? You can stay at your great-grandmother's house in the future. There are so many people at home to play with you!" Grandma Shen coaxed the little guy.
Ever since she knew that her eldest daughter was now alone at home with just her and Tiedan, she had been thinking about bringing her eldest daughter here.
I have three brothers to take care of me here, so the days ahead won't be too difficult.
That's why she coaxes this little great-grandson.
"I want to be with my grandma. Wherever my grandma is, I will be there."
Little Zhao Tiedan has only one request, which is to live with his grandmother. His grandmother has raised him since he was a child.
"Okay, do you like it here? If you like it, grandma will stay." Grandma Shen continued to coax.
Chen Qiufang felt helpless after hearing this: "Mom, although Tiedan and I are the only ones in our family for now, his father is still in the army. How can I move here?"
Her mother talked to her for most of last night, just wanting her to move in. How is that possible?
