After saying this, Liu Qiaomei climbed onto the kang cabinet and took out a small handkerchief bag. She carefully opened it and took out a Mao note, a few Fen notes, and a grain ticket. She whispered, "Duoduo, take this money and spend it sparingly."
Qian Duoduo suddenly remembered that there was a small treasury in the original owner's kang cabinet, so he smiled and said, "Mom, no need, the money you gave me is still there."
These are the small treasury that her parents have saved up bit by bit, she can't take it. As far as I remember, her small treasury is thicker than the stack of money Liu Qiaomei has, right?
"Okay, Mom, put it away quickly. I really have some. Go cut some pickled radish for me. I have a light appetite and I'll have nothing to eat tonight. I'm going out first."
Uh, no wonder the original owner didn’t want to come in, he smells like an old man.
After Qian Duoduo returned to the house, Liu Qiaomei cursed him angrily, wrapped the money carefully, and then went to Qiannai's house.
Even though she was in charge of the household, Liu Qiaomei would always greet her mother-in-law no matter if it was a pickled radish or a potato. This was also the reason why Grandma Qian was confident in handing over the family's food to her.
Every family has a large population. If the person in charge of food only takes care of his own family and often cooks special meals for his own children, how much food will he need?
Thinking of Qian Duoduo's agreement to marry, Qian Nai fumbled in the kang cabinet for a long time, took out an iron box, and carefully took out two soda crackers from it, "Old man, come in."
Liu Qiaomei thought her parents-in-law were asleep. She waited for a while but got no response. She was about to leave, but when she heard the sound, she was puzzled for a moment and pushed the door open.
My father-in-law was still sitting at the end of the kang smoking, and my mother-in-law lit the kerosene lamp that had just been extinguished.
Although it has been 80 years, this small mountain valley still has no electricity. Every household uses kerosene lamps, and candles are rare. After all, you need industrial coupons to buy candles, and they are not as durable as kerosene lamps.
"Give these two cookies to Duoduo so she can fill her stomach when she's hungry tonight. If she only eats pickles, won't she get a sore stomach?"
After handing two biscuits to Liu Qiaomei, Qian Nai said, "Meizi, talk to Duoduo properly. It's not that grandma is forcing her. That high-ranking family, rich and powerful, how many people beg for it? How can you refuse something that's right in front of you? Are you stupid?"
"After you get married, you can enjoy happiness for the rest of your life. Duoduo is pretty, and which man wouldn't cherish her and cherish her dearly?"
Liu Qiaomei knew what her parents-in-law were thinking, but no matter whether Qian Duoduo helped her family after marriage, she could have enough food and drink, so she was willing to cooperate with her mother-in-law.
"Mother, don't worry. That girl understands everything. She's figured it all out. Don't you know her? She's always been clever with her words. If she wants to, she'll definitely succeed."
Grandma Qian smiled and fumbled around in the kang cabinet, pulling out a cloth bag. Behind Liu Qiaomei's back, she pulled out twenty yuan and a few neatly pressed cloth coupons. After a moment's thought, she took out five taels of grain coupons and said, "Give these to Duoduo. Tell her to go to the county town tomorrow to buy some clothes and a pair of shoes so she can dress up nicely."
Liu Qiaomei was stunned for a moment, then happily took it, "Oh, I know, Mom."
"But, Mom, the school tuition has been paid. Duoduo wants to go to school for a few more days so that she can study better. Ask the teacher if she can get her high school diploma early."
"It would be easier to explain it to the Fu family if I had a high school diploma, right? It would save us from having to mention that Duoduo hasn't even graduated from high school yet."
Grandma Qian pondered for a moment, but before she could speak, Grandpa Qian coughed a few times and said, "Go ahead. It would be better if you can get your diploma sooner."
"However, from what Jianjun said, the old man of the Fu family wanted the two of them to get married soon. The commander is very busy and doesn't have much vacation time. After we responded, he directly filed a marriage report. After the report was submitted, he asked for wedding leave and will come to pick up the person in a few days."
So anxious?
Liu Qiaomei looked blankly at Grandpa Qian, then at Grandma Qian. These two were really keeping it a secret.
That dead kid tells his grandma everything he wants to say, and she, his mother, knows nothing!
"Mom, is there anything wrong with the commander? Otherwise why is he so anxious?"
Grandma Qian rolled her eyes at her. "What could be wrong? If there was a problem, why would Jianjun tell his own sister? You all know how much Jianjun loves Duoduo."
That's true.
Liu Qiaomei nodded thoughtfully, "Oh, I understand, Mom. I'll go get some radishes for Duoduo."
"Go ahead. If that girl is really hungry, light a fire for her and bake her some pancakes. Even if she's starving and eating pickles, you can still think of something!"
Grandma Qian thought that if she treated her better, the child would remember her mother's family in the future.
Oh, I don’t know if this decision is right. Will that girl hate her in the future?
After all, she had loved him for nearly twenty years. He was handsome and likable. She felt bad for marrying a divorced man who was more than ten years older than her. But who could blame him for having so many half-grown girls and boys at home? What future could he have if he stayed in this poor mountain village all his life?
Speaking of this, Qiannai suddenly looked at the chicken on the ground.
It was still making low "cooing" sounds at that time, why is there no movement now?
Grandma Qian got down quickly, without even having time to put on her shoes. She lifted the snakeskin bag covering the frame and was about to bend down to take a closer look when a foul odor suddenly hit her.
"Ugh—ugh—"
The sudden stench caused Qiannai to fall to the ground and vomit.
Her stomach was churning and her nose was filled with an extremely foul stench. But she was reluctant to vomit her dinner. She retched a few times in disgust and then held it in. She took several steps back and held onto the edge of the kang to calm herself down.
"What's going on?"
Old Man Qian was stunned by Grandma Qian's actions.
Grandma Qian waved her hand, looked around, grabbed the pillowcase with one hand to cover her mouth and nose, and walked forward with the kerosene lamp in the other hand to observe the chicken in the box again.
At this time, the chicks were already lying down with their bodies limp and the firewood in the frame was covered with chicken droppings.
The chicken droppings were all dark red or bright red, like blood.
Grandma Qian put the kerosene lamp on the ground and poked the chicken with her hand. Seeing that the chicken was motionless, Grandma Qian was so scared that she sat down on the ground, her heart sank.
Really...toxic!!!
Why, why are you so cruel! ?
