Although he hadn't finished speaking, Sun Xiu already understood.
So he quickly asked, "Guilan, is your mother's family short of food?"
Hu Guilan nodded. "Mom, if I had no other choice, I wouldn't say this."
Sun Xiu laughed immediately. "Silly child, we have enough food at home. I'll tell everyone later, and you can send some over then. If you have any difficulties in the future, just tell mom. We're all family, so there's no need to hide anything."
Hu Guilan's eyes suddenly turned red and she cried out, "Mom~~"
Sun Xiu waved her hand. "Alright, alright, don't say any more. Let's hurry up and cook. We still have to go to work after dinner."
Hu Guilan nodded heavily and said "hmm".
While eating breakfast, Sun Xiu said, "Guilan's family is also seriously short of food. I decided to ask her to send 30 kilograms back."
Li Jiakang immediately agreed, "Yes, yes, our lives are better now, so we should help out some of our in-laws."
The others nodded in agreement, and Li Xu also said, "Sister-in-law, is 30 kilograms enough? How about sending some more?"
Hu Guilan nodded quickly, "That's enough."
Li Xu added, "That's fine. If it's not enough, just tell me and I'll get you some more."
Hu Guilan was filled with gratitude and said, "Thank you everyone, and thank you Xiaoxu."
Everyone said that the family didn’t need to thank them.
In fact, this is also for Hu Guilan's sake. Otherwise, based on the current situation, they would definitely not be able to provide 30 kilograms of food.
You have to know that this is different from donating grain, which may be a one-time deal.
But this requires long-term support in the future.
Everyone has seen how good Hu Guilan has been to everyone during this period.
So no one will care.
On the way to work in the morning, Li Jiakang rode his bicycle with Sun Xiu.
Li Ping was also riding a bike next to him.
I don’t know how many envious glances I attracted along the way.
Li Jiakang was even more proud.
When we arrived at the hemp spinning factory, it attracted a large number of people.
People who had a good relationship with him came forward to ask questions, and Li Jiakang and others also responded perfunctorily.
Only Yang Li quietly pulled Sun Xiu aside and asked, "Why do you suddenly have two bicycles at home? There weren't any before."
Facing Yang Li, Sun Xiu couldn't be too perfunctory. "They were just obtained by someone in the past few days, so we just bought them directly."
Yang Li was surprised, then looked envious, "You guys are really amazing. You managed to get two bicycle tickets at once, which is such a rare thing."
Sun Xiu laughed immediately, and after moving closer, he said, "Okay, if I have extra in the future, I'll give it to you."
Yang Li waved her hands and said, "Forget it. Even if you gave it to me, I wouldn't be able to take it. Besides, I don't know how to repay the favor my family owes you."
Sun Xiu pretended to be angry and said, "Look at you, why are you bringing this up again?"
Yang Li looked helpless. "I'm wrong, okay? Let's stop talking and get back to work."
After saying that, the two of them entered the workshop together.
...
After Hu Guilan finished her housework in the morning, she asked Qin Hua to help take care of Li Ju for a while.
Then she took the food and went back to her parents' home.
When they arrived at her mother's house, Hu Guilan's mother was working in the yard.
And her face already looked a little swollen.
When Hu Guilan saw this, tears started to fall from her eyes. "Mom, what's this on your face?"
Her mother, Mrs. Hu, forced a smile and said, "Why are you crying? It's not a big deal."
It would have been fine if she hadn't said it, but after she did, Hu Guilan couldn't stop crying and she cried for a long time before she stopped.
Then he asked, "Mom, it wasn't long since we distributed the food. Why are you so upset?"
Mrs. Hu sighed, "Food is becoming increasingly scarce. You know our family's situation. We have so many mouths to feed. I can only eat less. Otherwise, how can we survive?"
Hu Guilan immediately became angry and asked, "Where are my brother and the others? Are they just going to watch you starve?"
Although I can understand Hu's approach.
But psychologically I can't accept it.
Mrs. Hu quickly said, "This is none of their business. They also advised me to eat more, but I really can't eat."
The two people's voices also alarmed everyone in the house.
In an instant, several people came out of the room, both men and women.
Everyone was delighted when they saw Hu Guilan, and they all stepped forward and called out, "Big Sister."
When Hu Guilan saw them, the anger on her face dissipated a lot.
After all, she was the one who brought him up, so she just said "hmm" in response.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what had made her unhappy.
Mrs. Hu on the side hurriedly said, "Boss, go and pour your sister a glass of sugar water."
Hu Guilan waved her hand and said, "Mom, I have something else to do at home. I won't drink the water. I'll be back soon."
"So why are you here?"
Hu Guilan handed over the cloth bag in her hand and said, "This is the food I brought from home. Please keep it."
Mrs. Hu was shocked. "This won't do. Take it back quickly."
Hu Guilan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Mom, this matter has been approved by my mother-in-law and others."
Hu hesitated and asked, "Really?"
"Yes. Don't worry, don't be so frugal this time and eat more yourself."
When she said this, Hu Guilan glanced at her younger brothers and sisters.
They immediately lowered their heads, not daring to look at each other.
Mrs. Hu said gratefully, "Thank you so much, in-laws. I'll ask your father to go and thank you in person in a couple of days."
After he finished speaking, he took the bag and was surprised again, "How much is this?"
Hu Guilan laughed, "30 jin, of which there are 15 jin of fine grains and 15 jin of coarse grains."
Mrs. Hu was horrified, "Why is there so much? Isn't your mother-in-law's family short of food?"
Hu Guilan said to the others, "Go inside. You won't know what happened next. Don't tell anyone about what happened today. If I find out, I'll make things very difficult for you."
Everyone nodded in agreement and walked into the house.
Then Hu Guilan whispered, "Mom, do you still remember Li Xu?"
Mrs. Hu thought for a moment before hesitating, "Are you talking about your man's younger brother?"
"Um."
Hu looked puzzled, "What does this have to do with him?"
Hu Guilan showed a proud expression, "He now works in the supply and marketing cooperative's motorcade. He knows a lot of people. He was the one who got the grain."
"Ah? Are your father-in-law and his family so capable? Can they arrange for him to go there?"
Hu Guilan waved her hand and said, "This job has nothing to do with my father-in-law and the others. Xiaoxu found it himself."
Hu: ...
Then Hu murmured, "Then he is truly remarkable."
Hu Guilan looked proud. "That's right, Mom. To be honest with you, I haven't been hungry for a long time."
Hu: ...
She didn't know what to say now.
