Wu Guixiang spoke of her life in a calm tone. She said that the first half of her life was very hard, and she finally lived a normal life in the second half. People like her are just microcosms of the millions in this world.
Everyone in the yard was silent.
In the room behind them, the portrait on the wall just smiled quietly at them, just as before.
Su Qingyun raised his head and looked at the brightest heart in the sky, saying silently in his heart.
Sir, if you can still see this land that you love, please continue to guide us.
?——————
The passing of the great man has caused grief to the people of the entire country. Starting from the 9th, schools were closed and factories stopped working. Government agencies, military units, factories, mines, enterprises, rural areas, schools, streets and other grassroots units across the country also held mourning activities.
They even learned on the radio that millions of people in Beijing attended the memorial service for the great man in the square, and more than 200 countries, political parties, organizations and their leaders sent condolences and letters. The whole world was mourning the passing of this great man.
Although he is gone, the people will remember him and history will remember him.
Su Qingyun only felt that the days seemed to pass by very quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the end of the year.
?New Year's Day is coming soon. Wen Sisi's belly is already scary big. The doctor said that she will give birth soon. The Su family wants to go to the county to see her. It happens to be a holiday, so it is a happy occasion for the two families to be together.
The Su family prepared a lot of things to go to the county. Before leaving, Su Aimin took out something mysteriously.
"Hey, Third Brother, where did you get this?" Li Xiulian took a look, surprised and delighted. "Where did you get so much milk powder?"
Su Aimin was holding several large iron cans of milk powder neatly in his hands.
Zhang Xinlan's eyes widened for a moment. How much would so much milk powder be worth?
"Sister-in-law, didn't I tell you before? If you need it, I have a way to find it for you." Su Aimin smiled. "When I was in the team before, I met a lot of people. They all had connections. Of course, it's not easy for me to say it. After all, this is not something that is open and aboveboard."
"I know, I know." Li Xiu Lian immediately nodded in understanding.
"Sister-in-law, this is milk powder. It's all from Shanghai, a well-known brand. I heard people say it's good for children and makes them smarter."
It was really easy to get these milk powders through Su Aimin's way.
"Third brother, thank you so much. You saved us from an emergency." Li Xiu Lian looked grateful.
Although Wen Sisi was well taken care of throughout her pregnancy and didn't suffer much, she should have had a lot of milk after giving birth. But she was thin, and they were afraid that she wouldn't have enough milk and the baby would starve.
Although malted milk is also very good, the doctor said that it is best for newborn babies to drink milk powder in addition to breast milk.
So they and the Wen family have been trying to figure out how to get as much milk powder as possible. Nowadays, pregnant women can only buy milk powder after getting a prescription from the hospital, but that is far from enough.
Although there are many people secretly buying and selling milk powder, they have not yet found a way, and there are too many people who want to buy milk powder, so the supply cannot meet the demand.
Who would have thought that at this time, Su Aimin appeared, carrying so much milk powder in these big iron cans. Each one looked to weigh at least two kilograms, which was quite a lot. These milk powders plus Wen Sisi's milk would definitely be enough for the child to eat for a while.
Li Xiulian didn't know how to thank him anymore. "Third brother, how much did you spend on this milk powder? Tell me and I'll give it to you."
Milk powder is not cheap nowadays. A tin can costs several dollars. Although she knows that the third brother and his family are rich, Li Xiu Lian will never take advantage of him. She is already very grateful that they are willing to help her get the milk powder. If she takes advantage of them again, she would be a bad person.
Su Aimin didn't say that he would give them the milk powder for free. He smiled and reported a number. It was actually a little less than the actual number, but it was almost right. He didn't care about this little bit of money.
But not caring does not mean that you can give them milk powder for free. Sometimes, too much one-sided giving will make people ungrateful. It is most appropriate to have give and take.
Su Aimin estimated that if he dared to say that he didn't want his eldest sister-in-law's money today, his second sister-in-law, who was standing by and watching him with eager eyes, would immediately make a big scene.
"Okay, okay, I'll go get the money." Li Xiu Lian and her family still had some money saved, so they could still afford the money for the milk powder.
As soon as she left, Zhang Xinlan immediately came to Su Aimin's side, and said with a shy smile: "Third brother, when Congwu's child is born, you, as the uncle, must also help."
Su Aimin twitched the corners of his mouth. Look, the matter hasn't even started yet, but his second sister-in-law is already thinking of asking him for help.
"Okay." Su Aimin reluctantly agreed. As a family, he couldn't possibly favor one over the other. He deliberately said, "Then you have to let Congwu hold on tight."
"Of course." Unexpectedly, Zhang Xinlan nodded in agreement, "It's time to hurry up."
Su Aimin: "..." When Congjun got married, she urged Congwen and Congwu to get married. When Congjun was about to have a baby, she urged Congwu to have a baby. His second sister-in-law really didn't want to fall behind in anything.
"Come, third brother, count." Li Xiu Lian came out of the house and handed the money to Su Aimin.
Su Aimin noticed at a glance that there were a few more yuan in the banknotes. He took them out and returned them to Li Xiulian. "Sister-in-law, you are being so polite."
"I just thought you've worked hard, so I have to show my appreciation." Li Xiu Lian really felt that it was too much trouble for Su Aimin.
"No need, we are all family, I just take what I deserve." Su Aimin insisted on returning the extra money.
"Okay then." Li Xiulian had no choice but to accept it. She knew that this amount of money was not enough to repay the favor, but she didn't have much else, so she could only say, "Third Brother, if you have any problems in the future, just ask. I will help you in any way I can."
Su Aimin smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, if I really need your help, I won't be polite to you."
"You're welcome." Li Xiu Lian also smiled.
"Are you all ready?" Wu Guixiang called out. "If you're ready, leave. Don't be such a dithering guest."
“Here it comes!”
The weather was already very cold. Su Qingyun wrapped himself in thick clothes and the family went out to the county.
