Chapter 402 Liu Family

"Mom is coming to the island?"

Gu Cheng wiped his hands. He had just heard the conversation between Liu Yinyin and Liu Ersao when he was washing dishes in the kitchen.

"Yes, we will reach the island in three days." Liu Yinyin was also quite surprised when she heard the news.

Before, she had mentioned to Jiang Cuihua that she should come to the island to visit Brother Liu and Brother Liu when she had time.

However, Jiang Cuihua thought the round-trip ticket was too expensive and refused to come.

Gu Cheng thought thoughtfully: "How long can mother stay on the island?"

Liu Yinyin's belly is so big now that it is inconvenient for her to do anything.

Due to the nature of Gu Cheng's work, he cannot go home on time every day.

So, he wanted to find someone to come home to help.

As long as you have money, it's easy to find the right person.

However, Gu Cheng was still worried. He really couldn't entrust his wife and newborn child to someone he didn't know well.

Jiang Cuihua is different. She is Liu Yinyin's biological mother. Even if she doesn't give money, she will do her best to take care of Liu Yinyin and her grandchildren.

Liu Yinyin thought about it and said, "I don't know either..."

If possible, she also wanted to keep Jiang Cuihua on the island for a longer period of time.

Gu Cheng smiled and said, "I will discuss this with my mother when she comes. I will let her take care of you for a while longer."

If Jiang Cuihua stayed on the island, her hometown would definitely be too busy to handle the situation.

However, Gu Cheng is not a person who likes to cause trouble to others.

If Jiang Cuihua really stayed at home to help, he could give her a sum of money every month.

The harvest has been getting better and better in the past two years, and grain prices have gradually dropped.

Working in the fields in my hometown to earn work points is just to earn food rations.

If I had the money I could just buy food with it...I'm sure the other members of the Liu family wouldn't have any objections.

No matter what, being able to take care of the children at home is better than working in the fields to earn work points.

Liu Yinyin just ignored him.

The next day, Liu Yinyin went to work as usual.

Just as I was about to go out, I ran into Zheng Qiangwei going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy vegetables, and the two of them walked together.

Zheng Qiangwei smiled and said, "My family will be here this afternoon. I have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some more vegetables."

What a coincidence, today happens to be the day when the supply and marketing cooperative supplies pork.

Unlike the previous time Yang Suqin came to the island, it was obvious that Zheng Qiangwei was really happy this time.

My mother’s family is my mother’s family.

Zheng Qiangwei hasn't seen her family for a long time, so she's naturally missing them.

Liu Yinyin understood and said, "Just let me know if you need any help."

She also didn't know how many people would come from Zheng Qianwei's family.

Zheng Qiangwei nodded and did not refuse.

When you are away from home, you often need help from your neighbors.

There were many people queuing up to buy pork at the supply and marketing cooperative. Liu Yinyin asked Uncle Zhuang, who was selling pork, to leave half a pound of pork for her.

Liu Yinyin has been very busy these two days.

After work, I have to clean up the room on the first floor and give it to Jiang Cuihua to live in.

After cleaning the room, Liu Yinyin took out a piece of black cotton cloth from the cupboard.

The weather on the island was hot, so she prepared to cut two short-sleeved shirts for Jiang Cuihua...

While busy, Liu Yinyin heard laughter coming from next door.

It should be Zheng Qianwei's family members coming over. Judging from the sounds, there are quite a few people.

There were at least three or four people.

In the evening, Gu Cheng came back a little late and ordered two dishes.

Razor clams in garlic sauce, fried tofu, and a few white flour buns.

"We went too late, and there's not much food left in the cafeteria." Gu Cheng said as he took off his hat and hung it on the wall.

Liu Yinyin pointed to the kitchen and said, "Today the supply and marketing cooperative has pork supply. I bought a pound and made braised pork."

Gu Cheng turned and walked towards the kitchen: "I'll bring it out."

The food from the cafeteria was cold, so Gu Cheng heated it up.

By the time we finished dinner, it was almost dark.

Liu Yinyin was sewing clothes in the living room when suddenly someone knocked on the door.

Gu Cheng went out to open the door, and the person who came in was Yang Yiming.

"Deputy Brigade Commander, my relatives have come to my house and will be staying there for a few days. We don't have enough food at home, so I would like to borrow some from you."

Zheng Qiangwei is unemployed now, and Yang Yiming is the only one who supports her.

It's enough to support their family of three.

But this time, five people came to Zheng Jiangwei's family, including her parents, her eldest brother and sister-in-law, and an older sister.

We didn't expect so many people to come at once, and the fine food prepared at home was not enough.

Gu Cheng: "How much do you want?"

"Do you have 20 kilograms of flour?"

"Wait a minute..."

There were still about 40 kilograms of flour in the house, and Gu Cheng packed 20 kilograms for Yang Yiming.

The next day, Liu Yinyin rested at home for a day.

Someone came to visit next door again. It was Zheng Qiangwei's mother and sister-in-law, who came over to say hello.

"Are you Yin Yin? I often hear Qiangwei talking about you, saying that you are her friend and you often help her..."

Zhou Junping is in his fifties, with neat short hair and a heroic air.

Liu Yinyin glanced at each other calmly. Zheng Qiangwei looked about 50% like Zhou Junping.

Standing next to Zhou Junping is Zheng Qiangwei's sister-in-law.

She looked to be in her thirties, with a slightly plump figure.

Liu Yinyin retracted her gaze and smiled shyly: "Auntie, come in and sit for a while?"

"No, I have to go back to take care of the children." Zhou Junping handed the things in his hand to Liu Yinyin.

"I brought some specialties from home for you to try. When we are not around, I hope you will take good care of Rose."

Zhou Junping couldn't stay on the island for long, and they only had ten days of vacation.

Most of the time is spent on the way back and forth.

So, they could only stay on the island for two or three days.

Liu Yinyin accepted the gift and said, "We are neighbors, so it's only natural for us to help each other."

Zhou Junping smiled and said, "No wonder Rose likes you."

......

Liujia Village Liujia.

Jiang Cuihua is packing her things now and will leave for Qing City tomorrow morning.

There was nothing to worry about at home. Jiang Cuihua was just worried about her husband's health.

"Old man, when I'm not around, remember to take your medicine on time, and... you still need to take care of your body, so don't sneak out to work in the fields while I'm away."

Liu Laifu waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about me. Just go to the island and take good care of your daughter. She is pregnant with twins and has to work at the supply and marketing cooperative. Her body can't handle it."

After returning from Qing City, Liu Lai Fu went to see Dr. Zhang and had another course of acupuncture.

Combined with Chinese medicine, the effect is quite good.

He now sleeps five or six hours every night.

For a man of his age, five or six hours of sleep a night is almost enough.

Liu Lai Fu hasn't been working in the fields to earn work points recently, and on weekdays he eats white flour and refined rice to nourish his stomach.

People in the village said that he was lucky and had a good life in his old age. He even looked younger than before.

Jiang Cuihua's attention was diverted: "Yeah, if you ask me, she should just quit her job. It's not like her son-in-law can't afford to support her."
