In the end, everyone was very satisfied with the meal and even a little full.
Especially the children, Guo Haochen was full after eating three meat dumplings and six sesame and peanut dumplings, and he even put down his bowl and chopsticks.
Later he saw Guo Haoxi also ate nine dumplings, and he forced himself to eat another one, and was so full that he burped.
Deng Qingling had no choice but to make some dried hawthorns into tea for them to drink.
The sixteenth day of the first lunar month.
That day, Deng Qingling got up early in the morning. She asked Liang Xueying to wait for the child to wake up, and she went out after having breakfast.
After arriving in the county town, Deng Qingling was not in a hurry to sell goods. She first walked around the county town to find out if there was any new news.
But unexpectedly, I saw a group of people wearing green hats, green military uniforms, belts around their waists, and red armbands on their left arms hurriedly passing by on the street.
Soon, there were sounds of banging, smashing and women crying coming from a house not far away. Soon, people with red badges on their hands arrested a few people.
Deng Qingling watched from afar, filled with shock and fear. Although she knew from history books that those years were chaotic, she had no idea it was this chaotic. Fortunately, she did not act rashly and bring disaster to her family.
Deng Qingling was scared this time. She originally thought that she had the space as a backing and could live a prosperous life like the heroine in the novel.
I didn’t expect to encounter this situation. I’ll just visit my relatives honestly this time!
Deng Qingling walked to a deserted place and used the backpack as a cover to put out a lot of things. She didn't take out any good things, just local specialties from the countryside, such as dried vegetables and mushrooms.
These things are great for people who need to buy food in the city.
Deng Qingling had just walked to the door of Deng Xiaomei's house when her door opened and Sister Liang Jin came out.
"Auntie, are you going out?" Deng Qingling said.
"Aqing, please come in and sit down first. I'm just planning to go out and queue up to buy groceries early, but I'm not in a hurry." Sister Liang Jin was very happy to see Deng Qingling coming, and quickly welcomed her into the house.
Deng Qingling smiled and said, "What a coincidence, Auntie, I brought some dried mushrooms."
After saying that, he put down the backpack and took out the things inside.
"Aqing, you are so polite. You always bring us something every time you come." Sister Liang Jin said with a smile when she saw Deng Qingling taking out something.
With so much food, my family can eat it for a long time.
"No, it's my duty to bring some things. My sister-in-law has troubled you a lot." Deng Qingling said with a smile.
"Well, what trouble or no trouble? We are all family. You are too polite to say that. Ayu helped us a lot when he came to our house. How can he be a trouble to us?" Sister Liang Jin said with a wave of her hand.
"I'm glad I didn't cause you any trouble. By the way, Auntie, the situation has been a bit tense recently, so I won't do anything." Deng Qingling said softly.
"Hmm? Oh, oh, oh, it is not very convenient. Someone from our family compound has also joined the Revolutionary Committee. Recently, everyone has been much more careful in what they say and do." Sister Liang Jin didn't understand what it meant at first, but later she realized that it was indeed inconvenient.
Deng Qingling didn't expect it to be so serious. Fortunately, she didn't do anything big this time, otherwise she would have implicated Sister Xiaomei's family and would have felt guilty for the rest of her life.
After that, the two chatted for a while, and Deng Qingling said she wanted to go home. Sister Liang Jin repeatedly asked her to stay for lunch, but she refused.
After leaving the family compound, Deng Qingling went to the state-owned restaurant, but didn't see Li Chunmei there. After asking, she found out that she had taken leave.
Deng Qingling didn't stay long. It was not suitable to go to the black market under the current circumstances, so she had to go to the station and wait for the bus to go home.
This time they waited a long time for the bus, and the bus only arrived when Deng Qingling became a little impatient.
After returning to the town, Deng Qingling did not stop, but went straight home. Halfway there, she saw that there was no one on the road, so she put some things in her backpack.
As soon as I reached the village entrance, I saw my own children playing in the mud at the door.
Guo Haochen was the first to see Deng Qingling. He quickly stood up, patted the mud off his hands, and ran towards Deng Qingling.
"Mom, you're back! My grandma left some food for you." After Guo Haochen said that, he secretly glanced at the backpack behind Deng Qingling with his little eyes, wanting to see if there was anything delicious in it.
"No need to look. Your hands are so dirty, and you still want delicious food." Deng Qingling knew what he was planning as soon as she saw him sticking out his butt.
"I'll go wash my hands now." Guo Haochen knew there was something delicious to eat when he heard it, so he hurried home to wash his hands.
Liang Xueying was turning over her private plot, and the twins were playing with earthworms in the yard. When they saw Guo Haochen running so fast, they thought something had happened to his older brother.
Before I could even ask him, I saw my mother coming back. They both quickly dropped the sticks in their hands, wiped their hands on their clothes, and walked towards Deng Qingling with a smile.
"Mom, you're back. We were very good today and didn't fight." Guo Haoxi said.
"Yes! We are very well behaved." Guo Ninghuan said.
How could they not be good? Deng Qingling told them last night that if they fought and didn’t behave, she wouldn’t let them eat the delicious food she bought. They remembered it!
Deng Qingling: "Go wash your hands, we'll have something delicious to eat soon." After saying that, she went into the house.
"Yeah, yeah." The twins responded and ran to wash their hands.
There was a basin of water in front of the water well, so they could just wash it casually, it wasn't that dirty anyway.
As soon as the twins entered the house, they saw Deng Qingling bringing out a lot of snacks, including sour and sweet raisins and sweet red dates.
"Wow, Mom, are these for us?" The children's eyes lit up when they saw the snacks.
"Yes, you have been so good today, so I will give you all the food." Deng Qingling said with a smile.
"Mom, you are so nice." Guo Ninghuan said coquettishly.
"Yeah yeah."
Deng Qingling smiled without saying anything, and sat down to distribute snacks to them to prevent them from quarreling because of uneven distribution.
Children have very sharp eyes. They can tell which of the similar items are more and which are less. They don’t want anyone to get less, so they have no choice but to divide the items among them.
