Jiang Yan said seriously, "Grandma, I know my limits. You see, if I find out about such a big thing, and all the benefits are shared by others, can I be willing? Only when our own people get involved, can uncle make it work."
The three of them were silent. The current situation was nationwide, and no one could predict how long the fight would last. Jiang Yan's discovery of Xiao Ri's affairs was indeed worth making an article about. It might be a surprise victory and clear many obstacles for the Jiang family's redress.
However, they would rather suffer a little more injustice than let Jiang Yan risk his life to earn and fight for them.
"Yanyan, Dad feels really sorry for you for being like this."
"What's the big deal?" Jiang Yan said nonchalantly, "Life is more enjoyable when the whole family is together. Without you, I won't be able to enjoy meat every day. Besides, Dad, I have to criticize you. My uncle trusts me very much. He believes that I can complete the task. You are my biological father, so how can you not be as good as my uncle?"
Jiang Ci didn't like what he heard, his eyes widened, "He was just bluffing, what a reckless man."
Jiang Baitao glared at him and said, "What are you talking about your elder brother?"
“That’s what it is.”
Jiang Yan pushed the milk powder and malted milk forward and said, "Dad, put this away. The three of you should drink one cup every day. No one should be reluctant to do so. Keep an eye on each other. I'll bring it to you next time."
"Oh, okay."
Jiang Ci took a rag bag, put the things in it, and carefully placed it in a broken basket. He also put the rice and flour in it, and then hid the broken basket under a pile of sundries.
Things like bacon and eggs are hung directly on the beams.
"Grandpa, grandma, this is what my aunt prepared for you. There are clothes, a blanket, some money and food coupons."
Jiang Yan stuffed the cloth bag containing money and food coupons into Weng Shuxu's pocket and said, "Grandma, what kind of person is your team leader? Does he usually make things difficult for you?"
"You mean Huang Youfu? He is a coward, but being cowardly has its advantages. If you ask him to kill someone or set a fire, he certainly wouldn't dare to do it. He is satisfied as long as he is safe in everything. It is because of this that your father, your grandfather and I can live a comfortable life."
"Yes, Captain Huang is a good person. There are no radical elements in the village, and they all take good care of us. Otherwise, the Su family's grandparents and grandchildren would not be alive today."
"By the way, Dad, why don't you go to the Su family again and ask them to come over? I brought them some things this time."
"OK!"
Jiang Ci took the flashlight that he usually didn't want to use, put on his cotton jacket and hat, and went to Su's house in the wind and snow.
The Su family's grandparents and grandchildren had already gone to bed. When they heard that Jiang Yan had arrived, they quickly got up, dressed, and followed Jiang Ci to the Jiang family's shack.
When they came over, Jiang Baitao had already put away all the things Jiang Yan brought. The grandparents and grandchildren of the Su family were both decent people, and they would not look at or say anything recklessly, but people who grew up in a special era always subconsciously make choices to protect themselves. The world is not forgiving, so they are used to it.
"Lao Su, come and warm yourself by the fire."
"Oh." An old man and a child sat awkwardly beside the stove, and the already cramped room became even more crowded.
"Hello, Grandpa Su." Jiang Yan took the initiative to greet Old Man Su.
"Hey, Xiaohao, call someone."
Su Hao moved his mouth twice, and after a long while he finally called out, "Hello, Sister Jiang."
You little brat, you still care about your reputation.
"Grandpa Su, I have already dealt with the things you gave me last time."
Su Xinhe's eyes lit up, but he didn't say anything, his eyes were full of anticipation.
"The market isn't very good, but I've tried my best to get it for you." Jiang Yan took out a stack of money and bills and put them on the kang. "Take a look."
Su Xinhe is not a fool. He can tell at a glance that the amount of money is wrong.
Giving too much!
Now that people have recovered, that thing is still worth a few dozen dollars, but during the famine a few years ago, it couldn't even be exchanged for a piece of bread.
"Xiao Jiang, you are such a kind-hearted kid. I'm not stupid. I know exactly how much those things cost. You are taking care of us, and I thank you for that."
After Su Xinhe finished speaking, he stood up solemnly and bowed to Jiang Yan.
"Hey, Grandpa Su, what are you doing? I, I can't bear it."
"Old Su, look at yourself. You are so old, but you still don't have a deep understanding of what you do. You..."
"Child, you are kind-hearted, how could you not bear it?" Su Xinhe took the money and counted it carefully.
He was given over a hundred yuan in both small and large amounts, and some tickets.
He accepted the favor from the Jiang family.
A penny can make a hero fall.
"Kid, this is all the money I want." Su Xinhe took out thirty yuan and pushed the rest of the money and tickets back.
Old Ginger was unhappy.
"Lao Su, what are you doing? The child is not pretending to be generous. She really sold so much. You are..."
"Lao Jiang, I won't say anything. I'm just going to go all out and be a scoundrel and depend on you guys. I want to use this money to ask Xiao Jiang to buy us some daily necessities, food and drinks, and some medicine for us."
This is the life of those who were sent down to the countryside. They had nothing to eat or drink, and their lives were much harder than those of ordinary people.
Jiang Yan was well prepared. When she came, she also prepared some extra things for the Su family.
"Grandpa Su, do you think these are enough for you?"
In addition to thick quilts and mattresses, Jiang Yan also prepared thick cotton coats and trousers and two pairs of cotton shoes for the father and son.
In terms of food, in addition to some fine grains, some cornmeal and sorghum rice were also prepared. By mixing them together, a lot of food could be saved.
