Chapter 479 The Control Group of the 1960s’ Beloved Heroine 23
Su Jianshe was carrying a lot of bags and was still a long way from home when he smelled a faint aroma of meat drifting in the wind. At first, he thought someone nearby was stewing chicken.
But as he walked further and further away, the aroma of the chicken soup not only did not disappear, but became stronger and more tempting, making him swallow subconsciously.
I secretly wondered who was making the chicken soup, and why it smelled so good?
This place is not like the village head or the village center. Every household is close to each other. Even if you speak loudly in your own home, your voice can be heard clearly next door. When you eat some meat, half of the village can smell the fragrance!
The reason why he chose the end of the village was not only because it was the farthest from the old house, but also because it was sparsely populated. The nearest house in the village center was about 100 to 200 meters away, which could reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Smelling the fragrance now, if he hadn't personally taken several pheasants to the black market in the morning and knew the situation at home very well, he would almost suspect that the fragrance came from his house!
The aroma of the chicken soup was so tempting that Su Jianshe felt a burning sensation in his stomach and quickened his pace.
Although there was no chicken soup at home, he got some sesame oil and salt on the black market today. Next time when he makes egg custard for his daughter, he can add a drop of sesame oil on it to make it more delicious.
Thinking of this, Su Jianshe couldn't help but feel secretly proud of his good eyesight and cleverness. When he saw someone standing at the entrance of the village, he hid the things before anyone saw him.
Otherwise, if his mother saw these things, there would definitely be another commotion, and it might not be possible to save them all.
As soon as Su Jianshe walked out of the yard, he saw Liu Xiaomei bending over and turning the soil in the yard.
"Wife, I'm back. Where's Nannan?"
When Liu Xiaomei heard the voice, she stopped what she was doing and looked up. The first thing that caught her eye was the large and small bags in Su Jianshe's hands. The absent-mindedness on her face instantly turned into surprise.
"Nannan is sleeping in the house. Have you sold all the things today?"
Su Jianshe smiled and nodded. "Well, I was lucky today. When I arrived in town, I met a few ladies who needed it. They bought it all for me! Since I couldn't buy lard and pork, I exchanged them for some sesame oil and salt, which is just right for seasoning the dishes."
Liu Xiaomei was very happy to hear that there was oil and salt. Just now she was regretting that there was no salt at home, which would greatly reduce the taste of the chicken soup!
Now that there is salt, the chicken soup will definitely taste better!
She quickly put down the hoe, brushed off the dirt on her hands, and took a few steps forward to take the things from Su Jianshe's hands. She smiled and said, "I'm going to cook. Go and see if Nannan is awake."
Su Jianshe nodded and went to wash his hands. While walking towards the room, he was still talking loudly about what happened in the old house.
Liu Xiaomei had reached the kitchen door when she heard that the food in the old house had been stolen. She suddenly stopped and turned around and asked hurriedly, "What did you just say?"
Su Jianshe saw that she looked a little worried and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Liu Xiaomei walked over to him and asked again, "What did you just say? The food in the old house was lost?"
Su Jianshe thought she was worried about the old house and comforted her, "Don't worry, we've all been divided. The lost food over there has nothing to do with us!"
Liu Xiaomei's face changed drastically. She didn't care about anything else and went to the yard to close the door in a panic. Then she hurried back and took Su Jianshe to the cellar she found in the yard today.
After the wooden board above the cellar was removed, Su Jianshe saw a cellar about two meters wide, four meters long and two meters deep.
If it was just a cellar, there would be nothing surprising. In rural areas, almost every household has such a cellar, which is usually used to store sweet potatoes.
But at this time, in addition to seven or eight pheasants and five or six rabbits, the cellar also contained two bags of white rice, a bag of snow-white flour, two bags of cornmeal, several large bags of dried sweet potatoes, and half a can of malted milk...
this……
Even though Su Jianshe had a good psychological quality, he was still shocked by what he saw and was speechless for a while.
He rubbed his eyes hard, still unable to believe it.
"Wife...Wife, where did all this come from?"
Su Jianshe swallowed and instantly thought of the food his mother had thrown away.
Liu Xiaomei was about to cry: "I, I don't know either! I wanted to turn over the little piece of land near the corner of the yard while Nannan was asleep so that I could plant some vegetables, but I didn't expect to find this! Wuwu... What should I do? Construction, what if it's the old house..."
Su Jianshe quickly covered her mouth and lowered his voice, "What are you afraid of? We didn't steal it. Besides, even if they lost it, we didn't steal or rob it. Who can guarantee that the food was lost over there?!"
Liu Xiaomei was not comforted at all. There had been an incident before where dried sweet potatoes and corn kernels suddenly appeared in a rat hole in the old house.
So when she discovered this cellar, she thought it was left by the original owner of the house, or a gift from God. She was excited and nervous, but not afraid.
Now that they knew that food had been lost at the old house, all the excitement disappeared, and all that was left was the consequences of being discovered.
Given her mother-in-law's temper, if she knew the food was lost with them, she would definitely insist that it was them, regardless of whether they took it or not. Then...
Thinking of the consequences, Liu Xiaomei shuddered.
After all, Su Jianshe was a man who had had precognitive dreams, so he was only panicked for a moment before he calmed down.
He knew in his heart that there was a 90% chance that the food was lost by his mother, although he didn't know why the thief stole the food and hid it in his yard.
However, with these grains, his family of three would not only not starve to death in the short term, but they would not even have to worry about not having enough to eat.
Su Li saw this scene on the kang in the room and twitched his lips. He really shouldn't look down on Su Tuantuan.
He was asked to think of a way to deliver the food he had obtained from robbing the rich to help the poor last night to Su Jianshe, and in the end, this was how he delivered it.
It’s simple, but it’s also scary, okay?
Which good person wouldn’t be panicked if so much food suddenly appeared in his home?
Well, she guessed wrong. Her cheap father was not panicked. He even moved the food to another place and tricked Liu Xiaomei into getting a bowl of rice to steam.
It's not that he is cruel. Since his parents think that 20 kilograms of food will not starve their family to death, he believes that his parents, who are old and experienced, will not starve to death even if they lose the food.
As for the fourth and fifth brothers, they will definitely suffer, but with him around, he will not watch them starve to death.
It’s not enough to just want to have enough to eat, you have to suffer a little more yourself so that you can make your wife and children suffer less in the future.
His parents can take advantage of this famine to lose some weight. Isn't it said that fat people are more likely to suffer from the three highs?
Even though his parents were not sincere towards him as their son, he couldn't just watch them continue to get fatter!
