The sun in July and August was very strong. When Lin Qingqing and Zhou Zhuo rushed back, Xue Guixiang was drinking water from a large bowl under the shade of a tree. The water was brought by Xue Guibao, but he was reluctant to give some food to his sister.
"You must be starving. This is the sesame cake that Zhou Zhuo and I bought for you. Eat it quickly." Lin Qingqing hurriedly handed the sesame cake to her mother-in-law.
Xue Guixiang saw the large fried pancakes and felt distressed: "How much does this cost?"
One reason was that she was stingy with the money, but more importantly, she felt that her daughter-in-law worked hard to earn money and she was reluctant to waste her hard-earned money.
"The Chairman said that the body is the capital of revolution. Money can be earned after it is spent, but if the capital is gone, everything is gone."
The daughter-in-law even quoted Chairman Mao's quotations. What else could Xue Guixiang say? What's more, Zhou Zhuo kept repeating beside her: "Mom, you eat."
It’s strange that after her son became stupid, he didn’t recognize anyone except her and his wife.
Xue Guixiang couldn't resist the kindness of her son and daughter-in-law, so she took the pancake and started eating it. It was so delicious. It was the most delicious meal she had ever eaten in her life.
While Xue Guixiang was eating sesame cakes, Lin Qingqing and Zhou Zhuo picked up piles of pears, put them into baskets, and loaded them onto the car.
After finishing these things, Lin Qingqing asked Xue Guixiang to go home first, as she and Zhou Zhuo still had to go to the city again.
Just as Xue Guixiang was about to leave, Xue Guibao came over with his hands behind his back and said pretentiously, "Sister, I came to see if you've eaten. If not, ask your brother's wife to bring some."
Xue Guixiang gave the remaining pancakes to Xue Guibao: "This is what Qingqing bought from the city. Take it back and share it with the children."
"How can this be? This was bought for you by your nephew's wife." Xue Guibao refused with his mouth, but his eyes were staring at the pancake greedily.
"You take it, I've eaten."
"Then I would like to thank his aunt on behalf of the children."
Xue Guibao was just being polite. In fact, there was no food at home. He only made half a pot of dumpling soup at noon, which was eaten up early.
After the land was contracted to individuals, every household worked hard to farm. Although they could not escape poverty for the time being, they could still guarantee food and clothing.
But Xue Guibao and his wife were lazy. They didn't even bother to pull out the grass in the field even though it was half a person's height, so the family was still struggling to make ends meet.
Xue Guibao returned home with the sesame cakes in his pocket. The children had all gone to school, and Sun Junqiao was sleeping soundly in bed.
"Lazy bitch, you've slept like a pig."
Sun Junqiao was woken up. When he opened his eyes, he saw the sesame cake in Xue Guibao's hand. His mind immediately became clear and he jumped up from the bed like Monkey King.
She grabbed her man's torn collar and asked, "Where did you get it? Did you steal money from someone?"
"Go, go, go, this is what my eldest sister asked me to bring to the children."
"What? Big Sister gave it to me?" Sun Junqiao's eyes rolled. "Guibao, do you think Big Sister's family has become rich? Why are they so generous?"
"How should I know?" Xue Guibao pushed Sun Junqiao away impatiently.
"What do they do with the pears? I suspect they're not feeding them to the pigs, but selling them."
"Why are you so nosy, woman? What the elder sisters do is none of your business."
"Can't you ask your elder sister to help you get rich too?"
"If you ask me, I won't go."
"I won't go either. I want to eat a sesame cake first."
The dumpling soup I had at noon had no oil or water at all, and I urinated it in a few gulps. The aroma of the sesame cake was very tempting.
"This is what the eldest sister gave to the children."
Sun Junqiao snatched the pancake away and said, "Give it to the child, but I can't even taste it. I've been sleeping in the same bed with you for all these years for nothing!"
