Aunt Zhang gave a thumbs-up and said, "Your grandmother is a clear-headed person. She didn't help her son and grandson exploit her granddaughter."
Qian Duoduo took the two cloth bags from the handlebars of the bicycle at the right time and handed them to Aunt Zhang. "Auntie, these are snacks I bought for the children. Take them home and give them as a snack."
Aunt Zhang took it with a smile, "You kid, why are you being so polite?" But when she picked up the bag, she almost dodged, "Oh my god, what is this? It's so heavy?"

Unfortunately, the grandchildren have grown up and have gotten married in the past two years. The family also bought jobs for the two grandsons. There is not much money left in the family. The pig farm is half built and the family has no money left. Liu Changshan was so anxious that he couldn't sleep all night.
About an hour later, the brigade's loudspeaker began to blare.
