Yan Sisi heard the familiar voice and knew who it was before the person came in. She asked Tang Mingze, "Brother, why did Hu Tao come to see you?"

Hu Tao pushed the door open and saw Yan Sisi standing in the room. He couldn't help but brighten his eyes and greeted her with a smile, "Sisi, when did you come back?"

After he finished speaking, he realized that Yan's mother was also there, and he quickly greeted her, "Auntie, you are here too."

Yan's mother, who had finally come, was diligently tidying up the room. When she heard the voice, she put down the rag in her hand and said, "Xiao Tao is here, come and sit down."

After saying that, he handed the bamboo stool over.

Hu Tao waved his hands quickly, "No need, auntie, I'll be leaving soon."

Tang Mingze asked Hu Tao, who hadn't been here for a few days, "What are you doing here?"

Hu Tao put down the wooden barrel in his hand, a barely visible blush appeared on his dark face and he said, "I caught a few fish today, I'll give some to you and Teacher Tang."

If he had known Sisi was here, he would have caught another big fish.

"We can't have this. You should take it back and give it to your mother to replenish her body." Tang Mingze refused outright. It was hard for every family to eat meat these days. Such a few fish would be enough for Hu Tao and his family to eat for a month. How could he accept them when they were not related to him at all?

The small river in the village did not allow those of them who had been demoted to the lower reaches to cross, so he could only occasionally go fishing in the mountain springs deep in the mountains. Now that the weather was cold, he did not go.

"I have more at home, and it's not for you alone." Hu Tao had known that Tang Mingze would not accept it. He has known this guy for such a long time, so he should know who is who. He is just afraid of owing him a favor.

Tang Mingze didn't say much, just picked up the barrel and handed it to him. Hu Tao took the barrel and walked around him, put it in Yan Sisi's hand, and said, "Mingze, don't take it, you take it. I can still afford these fish, and besides, Teacher Tang taught me so many classes before, and he didn't charge me tuition."

After saying that, he handed the wooden barrel directly to Yan Sisi without caring about Yan Sisi's reaction. Yan Sisi subconsciously took the splashing barrel and looked at the lively little fish inside.

Her brother refused to accept it, so why should he give it to her?

After delivering the fish, Hu Tao was afraid that Tang Mingze would say something to refuse, so he said, "Teacher Tang, aunt, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Tang Zhong did not interfere with their interactions. He just smiled and said, "Xiao Tao, stay and have a meal before you leave!"

"No, Mr. Tang. My mother is waiting for me to come back for dinner, so I'll go back now." Hu Tao said, and walked towards the door with a swift step. Finally, he said, "Mingze, leave the barrel here for now. I'll come and get it myself in a few days."

"Okay." Tang Mingze stood at the door and responded silently. Although they encountered many embarrassing things in the countryside, he also made a few close friends. He and his grandfather were able to live a pretty good life, not only because of the care of his aunt's family, but also because of their secret help. He always kept these in mind.

Yan Sisi put down the wooden barrel in her hand, waved at the door and said, "Goodbye."

Yan Sisi looked back at her grandmother's thin body. From his appearance, she could tell that he was different from the old people in the village. Several years of being sent down to the countryside had caused great damage to his body. In the early years, her family didn't dare to recognize her grandmother in public. They could only sneak up to her at night to bring her some food. It was only in the past two years when the situation improved that they became closer.

But people in the village didn't know about their relationship. They just thought that it was because grandma saved her father that their family became close to grandma and her family.

When Tang Mingze came back after sending the people away, he only saw his cousin and grandfather chatting and laughing. He quietly closed the door, went to the kitchen, found his aunt who was cooking, and silently walked to the stove to take over the task of lighting the fire.

Yan Sisi went to the kitchen halfway and added some spiritual spring water to the sweet potato porridge, fish soup and water tank where her mother and cousin couldn't see, hoping that it would have some effect on the health of her grandmother and cousin.

After the sweet potato porridge and fish soup were cooked, a burst of fragrant aroma came to the face when the lid was opened. Yan's mother sniffed the fragrance and felt that it was much more fragrant than the rice she cooked in the past.

He poured the porridge and fish soup into an aluminum pot and covered it. He used the remaining firewood to heat up the meat pie that he had put in the lunch box that morning, and then quickly put it back into the lunch box.

The next second the kitchen door was pushed open, and Yan's mother was startled. She turned around to see that it was Aunt Jiang who was sent over from another family, and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief and greeted with a smile: "Aunt, come and cook. "

Jiang Yi smelled the fragrance in the air, and didn't ask any more questions. She just smiled and nodded and said, "Yes."

"Auntie, wait a minute, I'll just wash the pot." After saying this, Yan's mother cleaned the iron pot with quick movements. She and Tang Mingze, who had washed their hands, returned to the room with the cooked fish soup, sweet potato porridge and lunch box.

Yan Sisi, who was talking to her grandmother, saw her mother push the door open, and hurried over to unfold the folding table in the corner so that they could put the pots and lunch boxes on it.

Mother Yan helped her father get down from the bed and eat. After he had taken a few bites, she remembered what was in the package and said, "Dad, I put some food in the package. You and Mingze, remember to eat it. I'll bring some more after you finish eating."

Tang Zhong drank a sip of the light fish soup and said disapprovingly: "Next time you come, don't bring anything. We don't lack anything here. You always come with a lot of bags. It's not good for others to see you."

"It's okay. I know what I'm doing." Yan's mother nodded in agreement and continued, "Next time, I'll let Aiguo come at night. Remember to hide your things."

Mother Yan looked at the sky outside and saw that it was almost noon. She pulled her daughter's hand and said, "Dad, Aiguo is still waiting for us at home. Sisi and I will go back first. Don't be reluctant to eat the food in the package. Health is the most important thing."

Yan Sisi stood up and said, "Grandma, I'll come to accompany you tomorrow."

Tang Zhong put down his chopsticks, looked at the mother and daughter who were about to leave, and said, "If you can avoid coming, then don't come. It's not good to be seen by others. I know that you are thinking about an old man like me in your hearts. Mingze, go and see your aunt off."

Tang Mingze nodded and stood up. Mother Yan couldn't help but sigh. She also knew that if someone found out, it would not be a good thing for her father. She looked at him a few more times before saying "hmm" and turning away.

Yan Sisi looked at her mother who was suddenly in a low mood, blinked at her grandmother and said, "Grandma, I will come to see you quietly tomorrow."

"Okay." Tang Zhong, who was not good at expressing himself, nodded and watched them leave. He sat in his seat and watched for a long time before looking away.

He knew that his body might not last much longer, and he only hoped that on the day he died, his grandson would be able to leave this place safely.

Yan Sisi followed her mother for a while, then she started to scold her cousin, "Brother, it's so cold, you should go back quickly! Otherwise, the meat cakes won't taste good if they get cold."

After saying that, he pushed the man up the mountain with his hands. Yan's mother beside him nodded and said, "Mingze, just send him here."

"Aunt, I'll send you to the foot of the mountain and then go back." Tang Mingze insisted. The mountain was not very safe recently. He could always hear the roars of animals. He would only feel at ease after sending people to the foot of the mountain.

Seeing that she couldn't persuade her stubborn cousin, Yan Sisi could only quicken her pace and walk down the mountain.

Soon the three of them reached the foot of the mountain. Tang Mingze followed his aunt and the others from a distance. He only turned back with relief after seeing them reach the village.

Yan Sisi returned to the village and looked at the smoke rising from every house. She couldn't help but quicken her pace. The appetite that had been aroused at her grandmother's house was already invading her brain, and she really wanted to eat.

As soon as Yan Sisi stepped into the yard, she saw her third aunt He Shuqin coming out of the kitchen. She glanced at them and said, "Hey, I thought it was that young lady who chose to come back at mealtime. It turns out it's you."

Mother Yan walked in silently. Yan Sisi, who was following behind her, couldn't help but sigh: "If we were to say who is the eldest daughter in our family, it should be you, Third Auntie. You know, in the early years..."

Before Yan Sisi could finish her words, her mother turned around and glared at her, so she could only swallow the rest of her words.

He Shuqin's face turned pale instantly. When a younger person talked about the past in front of her, she was so angry that she said, "How dare you, a younger person, gossip about the elders? Sister-in-law, Sisi is so old, but she still speaks so rudely. She will suffer a lot when she goes to her husband's house in the future."

Why did her niece, who always kept silent no matter what she said before, become so angry after she just said one word this time? Did she get angry?

Every time she saw their family coming back, she felt the injustice of fate. They were born to the same mother, but why could some people eat commercial grains in the county while their family had to stay in the countryside every day? She would not let her daughter live such a predictable life.

When Yan's mother heard this, her face turned cold. "Auntie, I can take care of my daughter myself, so you don't need to worry about it. If you have the time, you should take care of my third brother."

After that, he went to the kitchen to help cook, and said to the daughter who followed him in, "Go see how your dad is doing?"

Yan Sisi pouted and said "Oh", then left the kitchen and went to their room. As soon as she entered, she saw her father sleeping on the bed, then she silently closed the door and walked out.

She turned around and saw Yan Li coming back from outside, and immediately called out, "Xiao Li."

Yan Li raised her head when she heard the voice. Seeing that it was her second uncle's cousin who had returned, she immediately smiled and asked softly, "Sister Sisi, why are you back?"

"I just came back from vacation to see where you came from."

Yan Li couldn't help blushing when she heard this, and stammered, "Nothing?"

Yan Sisi knew something was wrong when she saw the shy expression, and asked curiously, "It's nothing, why is your face so red?"

Yan Li thought she had been discovered, so she subconsciously touched her collar and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the button was intact. She calmly replied, "No, Sister Sisi, you are mistaken."

The author has something to say:

This article will be updated tomorrow, so please take care of it, my dears!

Next book in advance: Su Zhuwei [Seventies] who was forced to be salted fish, if you like it, you can collect it, thank you!!

Su Zhuwei traveled through time and thought she would suffer in this era of food and clothing shortages, but she never expected that -

The Youth Office arranged for the youth to go to the countryside:

Second brother: "I want to go to support the Northwest."

Second sister: "I want to pursue love, and none of you are allowed to compete with me."

Su Zhuwei: "How about..."

The second brother and second sister said in unison: "You are still young, so just stay at home."

When arranging work:

The leader asked meaningfully: "We currently have three positions available in our factory, namely Production Workshop No. 1, Logistics Kitchen, and Publicity Department Worker. Who among you wants to go?"

"Report to the leader, I am not good at studying, but I am physically strong. Can I go to Workshop No. 1?"

"Report to the leader, my mother taught me to endure hardships and work hard. I want to go to the logistics kitchen. Is that okay?"

Su Zhuwei looked at the people rushing to work in the workshop, and she felt it was not good to go alone, so she said helplessly: "Report to the leader, I want to go..."

The leader said, "You have no choice. Since you are so skinny, why don't you go to the Propaganda Department?"

Well, Su Zhuwei, who always wanted to make a breakthrough, was always forced to do so.

The marriage partners are:

"Weiwei and I grew up together and have been inseparable since childhood. Who could be more suitable than me?"

"Weiwei and I are work partners. We are the most suitable for each other."

While the two were arguing, Su Zhuwei was invited to watch a movie.

The tall and handsome man, wearing smart clothes, asked Su Zhuwei nervously: "Weiwei, are you willing to go to the island with me?"
