Chapter 262 Sugar

No matter what, life has to go on, right? It's better to have a man than no man.

Without asking any more questions, Mrs. Liu turned and left.

Liu Yinyin thought she would have to deal with her, but unexpectedly, Mrs. Liu just left without saying anything.

The next morning, Liu Yinyin rode her bicycle to the county town and went to the post office first. She brought a lot of things for Zhang Mingjuan.

Fifty eggs, a handful of spinach, a handful of leeks, and a handful of Chinese cabbage.

This month, the county supply and marketing cooperative has no vegetable supply yet, so Liu Yinyin brought some fresh vegetables over, not worried that Zhang Mingjuan would refuse them.

Zhang Mingjuan was surprised to see a basket full of things: "...So many?"

Liu Yinyin explained casually: "I haven't been at home for a while, so I saved a lot of eggs. If you don't need so many, I'll ask someone else."

Liu Yinyinsi was not worried at all. She knew that she would not have trouble selling either the vegetables or the eggs.

Of course Zhang Mingjuan did not agree. Fifty eggs were a lot, but there were many people in her family and they could definitely finish them.

Even if you can’t finish it, you can sell it to relatives and friends, right?

This was not the first time the two had made a deal, and Zhang Mingjuan secretly gave Liu Yinyin some money.

Liu Yinyin brought so many things this time that it would be hard for others not to notice.

In addition to Zhang Mingjuan, there is another staff member at the Post Office, also a woman. She looks quite old, probably around 40 years old.

Liu Yinyin glanced at the woman and asked Zhang Mingjuan, "Are you okay?"

Zhang Mingjuan whispered to Liu Yinyin: "It's okay, I told her before that you are my relative."

What's wrong with relatives giving each other gifts?

Liu Yinyin often came to the post office to find Zhang Mingjuan, and looked like a real relative, so she didn't arouse anyone's suspicion.

and......

Zhang Mingjuan said: "I'll give her some of my stuff later, and nothing will happen."

The county town was seriously short of supplies, and no one could resist the temptation.

Especially the older ones, who have elderly and children at home, are eager to buy more food.

Liu Yinyin felt relieved.

Thinking about what Brother Liu and Brother Liu had told her, Liu Yinyin went to the department store.

I bought two packs of White Rabbit milk candy and two packs of fruit candy.

Take these candies back and share them with Jiang Cuihua and Liu Dasao. There is no need to buy other things.

The package sent back from the island hasn't arrived yet.

On the way back, the weather suddenly changed and it started to rain lightly after a while.

When she went out in the morning, the weather looked good and the sun was out, but Liu Yinyin didn't bring an umbrella. She didn't expect it to rain suddenly.

Fortunately, she was used to wearing a hat to protect herself from the sun, and she could ride a bicycle fast, so Liu Yinyin hurried home before the rain got heavier.

After arriving home, Liu Yinyin smuggled out a pork chop, a bag of biscuits, a bag of peach cakes, and two kilograms of apples from the system.

I just came back from the island. There was no shortage of food at home, except for fruits, snacks, etc.

Spring rain is as precious as oil, and heavy rain at this time is a good thing.

But, the rain delayed my work.

When Liu Yinyin arrived at the Liu family holding an umbrella, all the Liu family members were there.

Liu Yinyin gave Jiang Cuihua two packets of White Rabbit milk candies and two packets of fruit candies. This time the gifts were not from her.

Liu Yinyin explained, "This is what my elder and second brothers asked me to buy for you. The other one...mom, you can go back and give it to my elder sister-in-law."

Jiang Cuihua originally wanted to scold the girl, asking her why she bought so much candy for no reason!

When Jiang Cuihua heard that it was her two sons who asked Liu Yinyin to buy it, she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

Then he said with concern: "Your two brothers are the same. Why waste this money? Sugar can't be eaten as a meal. Go back and tell them not to spend money recklessly. It's not easy for them to earn a little money."

How much does it cost to buy so much sugar? It's not worth living at all.

Liu Yinyin would never tell this to Brother Liu (Eldest Brother) and Brother Liu (Second Brother). Money is meant to be spent.

When the children at home saw the candies, their eyes widened.

Jiang Cuihua felt sorry for her grandchildren, so she gave each of them two candies and said, "It's not good to eat too much candy. You can only eat one candy a day from now on."

In this way, these children are the happiest in the village. How could other families get such delicious candies?

Gu Yanyan also got some candy, and when it came to him, Jiang Cuihua directly grabbed a handful of White Rabbit milk candies and stuffed them into his pocket.

The little guy was very happy.

Liu Yinyin: “…”

Jiang Cuihua put her share of candy into the cupboard and locked it, and gave the other one to Mrs. Liu later.

Mrs. Liu was different. If she had anything good, she would definitely save it for her two children.

Unlike Jiang Cuihua, they are all her grandchildren. If there is anything delicious, she would not give it only to the children of the second and third wives and ignore her eldest grandson and granddaughter.

But it doesn’t matter. The second and third wives’ children are young, and only the little granddaughter knows how to eat snacks.

Seeing that the rain showed no sign of stopping, Liu Yinyin held an umbrella and took Gu Yanyan and the big yellow dog home.

During the time she was away, the big yellow dog remained at the Liu family.

Liu Yinyin didn't want to take the big yellow dog back at first. She was going to join the army anyway and couldn't take the big yellow dog with her, so she might as well give the dog to the Liu family to raise.

But Jiang Cuihua was worried that her daughter would live at the end of the village without anyone to take care of her, so she asked her to take the big yellow dog back first.

After arriving home, Liu Yinyin saw the boy had candy in his mouth, so she confiscated the White Rabbit milk candy from his pocket.

Otherwise, if it wasn’t confiscated, the little guy could eat it all in one go.

"Mom, mine..." Gu Yanyan searched her pockets and found that all the candies were gone. She immediately pouted unhappily.

Liu Yinyin was not used to him: "Brother and sister can only eat one candy a day, you are small, you can only eat half a candy a day in the future."

No matter what, the little guy's teeth are almost damaged.

Liu Yinyin rarely buys candies for him now, but she can't help but get some from people secretly giving them to him.

If Liu Yinyin didn't know, he would hide it secretly, and sometimes even eat it under the quilt while sleeping.

There were already two or three times when Liu Yinyin found that he had candy in his mouth when he woke up in the morning.

Thanks to Liu Yinyin for supervising him to brush his teeth in time, otherwise the little guy would definitely have black teeth now.

"Mom is bad..." Gu Yanyan's eyes were red and he looked at Liu Yinyin with grievance.

The candy was clearly given to him by his grandma. Not only did Liu Yinyin not take it away, she also only allowed him to eat half a candy a day. How mean!

Gu Yanyan's nose twitched, but she didn't cry in the end.

The boy also knew that crying was useless and there was no one else at home to help him.

Liu Yinyin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Gu Yanyan, you have become successful. If I don't give you candy, I am a bad mother? What if I give the candy back to you?"

Gu Yanyan blinked her big round eyes and said, "Give me candy, dear mother..."
