Old Mrs. Li changes her attitude faster than turning the pages of a book.
In the past, she doted on the two sisters Li Ailan and Li Aiju, but now she compares Li Ailan's children to cats and dogs.
Li Fuman was stunned. "How can you, old woman, talk like that? How can you...how can you say that Ailan's child is just a cat or a dog?"
"Was I wrong? We in the Li family have two children to raise now. Although Xiaojiu and Gouwa can eat rice porridge and rice soup, rice soup and rice porridge are both refined grains. We have to tighten our belts to raise these two children to be plump and white, and then give them some food. Do you want to let these two children starve?"
As Old Lady Li spoke, she glanced at Xiaojiu who was being held by Li Dahai.
This little fat face, these chubby little hands, when Grandma Li thought that her little grandson was about to starve to death, her heart began to ache.
What Old Lady Li said touched the hearts of the Li family members.
That’s the Li family’s conditions.
All the food was earned by everyone through their own labor and work points.
When distributing grain during the summer harvest this year, the Li family did not replace the fine grains with coarse grains as usual, but kept them all so that the two little ones could eat better.
Children are not like adults. If you let them eat coarse grains, they will eat them but not be able to defecate. It is the children who will be tortured and the adults who will feel distressed.
"Grandpa, actually what grandma said makes sense. Given our family's current situation, we really can't help Ailan much.
"If we want to support the two children, we have to rely on the Cai family. After all, they are Cai family children, so the ones who do the hard work have to be from the Cai family," said Li Dahu.
Li Dahu and Huang Yu haven't had children yet, so what he said is undoubtedly the most principled.
Since he said so, Li Fuman couldn't say anything to refute it.
Li Fuman fell into deep thought. After a long while, he finally spoke, "If that's the case, then... let's wait and see!"
Originally, Li Fuman wanted to collect some eggs and send an old hen over, but now it seems that there is no way.
At most, he would send the two cans of malted milk in his room to Li Ailan.
"Okay, let's not say any more nonsense. Let's eat when it's time to eat, and go to bed early after dinner. If you want to go see Ailan tomorrow, go see Ailan. If you don't want to go, go to the production team to work. The day after tomorrow we will go to the county town together to find Zhao Mingcheng." Li Fuman said.
…
As for the Cai family, the birth of two sons is a great joy for the people in the Cai family.
But at the same time, the huge mountain pressing down on one's head makes it a little hard to breathe.
Cai Gangqiang took advantage of the time when Li Ailan fell asleep and the two children stopped crying, put on some thicker clothes, took the meat coupons and money, and went to the county supply and marketing cooperative overnight, ready to be the first to buy meat when the meat stall opened.
On an October night, the cold wind blew on my face, causing some stinging.
It took Cai Gangqiang more than two hours to reach the county town.
At this moment, it might be just after midnight.
Cai Gangqiang had to wait at least six to eight hours before the supply and marketing cooperative opened.
It's a bit lonely and cold, but when he thinks of his two children, Cai Gangqiang feels that it's all worth it.
…
Early the next morning, Li Fuman took out two cans of malted milk.
After thinking about it, he made up his mind and took out ten kilograms of fine grains from home.
When he was about to go out, Zhao Meixia and Zhang Xiu Lan called Li Fuman.
