Chapter 52: It hurts so much
Jiang Xiaoxiao watched the mother and son of the Qin family leave outside the door, patted her waist bag, and prepared to go out to buy some milk powder for her niece.
Then she thought, if she went in to find her biological mother, she would need milk powder tickets to buy milk powder. She didn't have any, and she didn't know if her mother had any. If she didn't have any, she would have to borrow from others.
Fan Xiuying was also rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the house looking for her tickets.
The granddaughter was so hungry that she howled in the house. I'm sure all the neighbors heard it. Those who didn't know would think the child was sick.
Only his family knew that the child was starving.
"Milk powder tickets, milk powder tickets, where can I find milk powder tickets?"
Milk powder tickets are a scarce commodity, how could they have them?
How could a working class family have such a thing?
Fan Xiuying was so anxious that she was jumping up and down, wondering who to go to borrow the money from.
Most people don't have this kind of thing, even if she wants to borrow it.
The neighbors around them are all workers like them. How could others have things that they don’t have?
Jiang Xiaoxiao knew from Fan Xiuying's expression that her mother was also worried because she seemed to have no milk powder tickets.
"Mom, don't worry. Let me go find my uncle. He must have a way. Even if there is no ticket, he can probably find a way to get one for me. I'll buy some milk powder first and then feed the child. Otherwise, this won't work.
You should cook for your sister first and let her eat something. I will buy her a chicken later and you can make chicken soup for her. You can also buy some crucian carp, but I don’t know if there is any.”
When Jiang Xiaoxiao mentioned her uncle, she suddenly remembered that her uncle was not around.
"Okay, go to your uncle first and ask him to help you think of a solution. I'll cook for your sister first. Remember to buy some smaller crucian carp to make soup. I have to give your sister some good nourishment so that she can get her food back as soon as possible, otherwise my little granddaughter will starve to death."
Fan Xiuying finally remembered that she had a younger brother who knew everything.
"Mom, my uncle is not at the supply and marketing cooperative!"
She was helpless because when the time came to hire someone, there was no one available.
"Your uncle is not working at the supply and marketing cooperative, so where else is he hanging out? When he comes home next time, I will make sure to clean up the mess. He can't be so lazy all day."
Fan Xiuying was anxious and angry.
What to do if there is no milk powder?
"Mom, don't be angry yet. It doesn't seem to be my uncle's problem. I heard the director of the supply and marketing cooperative tell me. It seems that my grandma is sick and my uncle has returned to his hometown. I came back to tell you that we should go back to our hometown to see grandma together. Who knew that I would come back and catch up with my second sister's problem."
Jiang Xiaoxiao finally understood what it meant when misfortunes never come alone.
In my previous life, I don’t remember my second sister coming back with her child.
Maybe my second sister endured hardship at home in her previous life.
Perhaps it was because they sent my second sister to the hospital that she avoided severe bleeding and the need for a hysterectomy.
A lot of things happened in between, and my words played a certain role on my second sister. Otherwise, Jiang Xin might still have endured it at home like in her previous life.
"What do you mean your grandma is sick? What's wrong with her? It's so serious. Since your uncle has gone back, it proves that your grandma is seriously ill. What should we do?"
Fan Xiuying became anxious.
My parents don't live in the city, but in the village where they came from. Although their hometown is not far from this city, it only takes about seven or eight hours to get there by long-distance bus.
But the old man had always been in good health and could even work in the fields at home. How could he suddenly fall ill? His younger brother went back to find out that the matter was serious.
Jiang Xiaoxiao shook her head. "I don't know either. I guess they don't know clearly either. How about this, Mom? I'll go buy some milk powder first to help my sister get through this. You can call the village and ask my uncle to come over and ask what's going on. If it's serious, you can take the bus back tomorrow. If it's not serious, you can rest assured."
The main thing is that this is the only thing we can do now.
Fan Xiuying nodded, feeling relieved by her daughter's words.
Suddenly I felt that this child has grown up.
I have really grown up.
Everything here is arranged so neatly that she, as a mother, feels relieved because of her daughter's words.
"But where can you get the milk powder? You can't buy it at the supply and marketing cooperative without a ticket."
"Mom, you are stupid! Although we can't buy milk powder without a ticket, my uncle is still a member of the supply and marketing cooperative. I will go and ask the director to find a way for us to buy one or two bags at a high price. Or I will go and ask the director to help us find milk powder tickets. We will be willing to do so even if it costs a little money."
Jiang Xiaoxiao felt that such matters needed to be handled by professionals. The director of the supply and marketing cooperative was there, so it would be crazy for them not to ask for help.
Fan Xiuying was worried, "Forget it, I'll go anyway. If you, a little kid, go to the supply and marketing cooperative and the director won't give you face, what can you do?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled and held Fan Xiuying down. "Mom, you are wrong. If I go there, they won't give me face and reject me. I am just a child, it's no big deal. You and my dad can find other ways to ask the director for help, or find other people to think of a solution. If you go there and they reject you directly, what will you do next?"
Fan Xiuying poked Jiang Xiaoxiao on the forehead.
"You clever little devil, okay, go first, you go and lead us. If you can't do it, your mother will be embarrassed again."
Jiang Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue and said, "Then I'm leaving."
"You can just go to the supply and marketing cooperative and ask the director. I'll go buy the chicken, fish, and other things. I'm familiar with this market and know which ones have the best products. How can a little girl like you know which kind of fish is the best? It will save time if we split up and do it separately."
Fan Xiuying waved her hand and allowed her daughter to travel less.
Actually, I just feel sorry for my daughter.
Jiang Xiaoxiao agreed and ran away immediately. Seeing Jiang Xiaoxiao running very far, Fan Xiuying suddenly remembered that this girl didn't even ask her for money.
Just when he was about to chase her, he suddenly remembered that Jiang Xiaoxiao probably had money on her, and he had just given money to this girl.
My heart also feels warm.
This child of mine has always only had his family in his mind and never thought about himself. I guess he has long wanted to spend the money on his family.
Fan Xiuying is not a sentimental person. Since the child is so caring, she thinks she should save more for the child in the future and compensate the child. After all, if the money is not the child's, it cannot be obtained out of thin air.
It’s not that she is partial. She originally wanted to share it among the children.
But now I think I should leave it all to Xiaoxiao.
Xiaoxiao is so good to her older sister and brother, never has any selfish motives, and always thinks about her family. From this point of view, this child should be loved more by them.
