Chapter 1771 Arrangement to Return Home 4
The old woman understood immediately. What was wrong? It must be that the relative didn't want the poor relatives from the countryside to come and ask for money, so he deliberately gave the wrong address, causing the young wife in front of her to be unable to find her.
Feng Qingxue listened to her explanation and said in a low voice with a gloomy face, "You lied to me? What can I do? I brought the New Year's goods prepared by my family, a lot of eggs, bacon, sausages, and dried chickens and ducks. I saved them for half a year. I was so tired that I had to rest three or four times on the way. It was not easy to rush to the city at this time. Do you want me to take them back?"
The old woman's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and she immediately approached Feng Qingxue and asked in a low voice: "Did you bring eggs and bacon?"
The three old ladies who were basking in the sun with the old lady also came over and pricked up their ears.
Feng Qingxue nodded, "Yes, these are all my family's savings, and I also asked relatives and friends for a lot. My relative is an official in the city, so he can't give him anything less. But now I can't find him, what should I do?"
The old woman said enthusiastically: "Come on, come to my house and have a drink of hot water, and we will give you some advice."
"Yes, yes, my girl, let's go to Aunt Qin's house together. We can put our heads together and think of a good way to prevent you from bringing it back and being tired on the journey." The three old ladies said in unison with great excitement.
Aunt Qin's house is very small, with two bedrooms and a living room, about fifty or sixty square meters in total. There is a bunk bed in the living room. The bedding is very old and patched, but it looks very tidy, and the room is also clean and bright.

"I put a spoonful of sugar in it, drink it while it's hot." Aunt Qin and the other three old ladies all looked at the bamboo basket. They carried it up for Feng Qingxue, but it was heavy. One basket must weigh at least twenty or thirty kilograms.
Aunt Qin said with a smile: "If you like to drink, drink more. I will pack you half a pack when we go back."
Urban residents are given sugar coupons every month, and many families cannot use them all. Aunt Qin's family is no exception. They are not short of sugar, but they are short of meat. The three old neighbors are the same. They all have the same idea, otherwise they would not have brought Feng Qingxue, who was delivering bacon to relatives but could not find anyone, to their home.
Feng Qingxue held the enamel pot and said shyly, "Thank you, Auntie. It's really delicious. It's hard to buy sugar in our countryside."
Feng Qingxue smiled secretly in her heart and obediently followed Aunt Qin to her home.
Aunt Qin poured her an enamel pot of hot water and added some boiled water, "Girl, drink some water first."
She blew on it and took a sip. It was surprisingly sweet. A hint of surprise flashed across Feng Qingxue's face.
Feng Qingxue said, "I can't take Auntie's things for nothing. I'm worried about having to carry so many things back home. It's too tiring. My arms feel like they're not my own. I really don't want to suffer this again."
A white-haired old lady couldn't wait to say, "Girl, I have an idea, would you like to hear it?"
"What idea?" Feng Qingxue looked at her curiously. Although her face was dark, her eyebrows and eyes showed a kind and gentle look. She was not the kind of person who was sarcastic and mean.
The old lady smiled and said, "My husband's family name is An, you can just call me Auntie An. Look, if you carry so many things home, you will be exhausted, and you will definitely have to walk until late at night to get home, and it will be difficult to explain when you go back. Why don't you sell them to us? We won't tell anyone, and you can take the money home and explain it easily."
Aunt Qin and the other two old ladies nodded one after another, "If you want anything, we can also find a way for you."
