Chapter 327 Xiangxiang and her family go into the mountains 2
"Sister must have never eaten such delicious food. I must leave it for you to try no matter what." Xiao Zao thought to herself, her eyes gradually becoming firm.
Yi Ke knew what the little girl was thinking at a glance, so he stopped teasing her and said to her softly, "We also bought a lot to take back for your sister and brother-in-law."
The little girl's eyes suddenly became as bright as stars. She slurped a few mouthfuls of soup, then chewed the steamed buns slowly, as if she was not the one who said she was full just now.
The poor little girl certainly didn’t taste anything at all from the first steamed bun, as she just kept swallowing it in big gulps. Now that she knows there’s more to eat, she naturally wants to savor it slowly.
Xiaozao and Yike ate with their mouths full of grease, while her sister Xiangxiang ran around the house hungry.
When Xiangxiang and her husband returned home, her father and brother and sister-in-law were shocked, thinking something big had happened. They even wondered if Xiangxiang had lost Xiaozao.
Only the younger brothers and sisters happily surrounded Xiangxiang, calling her sister sweetly with joy on their faces.
"Where is your sister? Why did you come back again? Is that right?" Xiangxiang's father trembled and didn't dare to ask the rest of the question, for fear that it would come true.
"Dad, it's good. It's good that I'm back." Xiangxiang saw that her father was so anxious, so she quickly told him what happened. Only after she finished did she feel her lips getting very dry.
Sister Xiangxiang hurriedly poured her a bowl of hot water, and she drank it in a few gulps.
At this time, after hearing Xiangxiang's words, her father and brother and sister-in-law felt like a thousand horses were running through their hearts, rumbling and shaking them so much that they couldn't recover for a long time.
"Dad, what Xiangxiang said is true. Those two people don't seem like liars. Besides, there is no benefit for them to cheat us. And we have seen their letter of introduction. They said they were going to pick someone up, and they really did pick someone up. We saw it when we were queuing up to buy tickets. The girl said she would help us after hearing Xiangxiang talk about her family situation. It's not easy to find a job outside nowadays, so why don't we give it a try?" Xiangxiang's husband said seriously, afraid that they would not believe him.
"Free food and accommodation? Food is so scarce now, which factory dares to provide food and accommodation? This requires a lot of food." said Xiangxiang's brother.
"They dare to say that, so it's probably true. We don't care whether the food is good or bad, as long as we have wild vegetable and grain porridge, it's better than being full by just drinking water." Sister Xiangxiang muttered.
"Yes, we are already in this situation, how bad can it get? Instead of waiting to starve to death, we might as well take a gamble. Even if we lose, our family will still be together." Xiangxiang's father pondered for a long time and finally made up his mind. "Dad, do you mean the whole family should go?" Xiangxiang's brother asked.
"Everyone go. Didn't the other party say that it's open to men, women, young and old? As long as they can work, everyone in our family can work. Even if your younger brothers and sisters can't do heavy work, they can still do light work. Even if that's not possible, we can save a bite of our own food and give it to them, so that we can at least get through this winter." Xiangxiang's father said in a deep voice.
"Then pack your things quickly. Dad will go find the secretary to get a letter of introduction. Just write that you are visiting my relatives." Xiangxiang said quickly.
"Okay, you guys pack your things, I'll go get a letter of introduction, take all the remaining food with you, and take whatever you can. Xiaozao will be scared going alone, let's go quickly, I'll ask the secretary to use the team's horse-drawn carriage to take us there, and the carriage money will be deducted from the work points when the time comes." Xiangxiang's father said as he walked out the door.
In the evening, Xiangxiang's family came to a guesthouse with large and small bags of things. When Xiaozao saw her father, she happily threw herself into her father's arms, uttering a series of words like setting off firecrackers.
Yike was bewildered. She didn't understand a word the little girl said, but looking at her happy expression, she was definitely not saying anything bad about her and them. Finally, seeing Xiaozao pulling at her clothes, Yike guessed that she was talking about the new cotton-padded clothes that Yike bought for her in the afternoon.
In the afternoon, Yike took the little girl to the department store and bought cotton coats, cotton pants, cotton shoes, cotton hats, and a woolen scarf.
When Xiangxiang's father saw his daughter's brand new clothes, the last bit of doubt in his heart disappeared. Who would spend so much money on things?
He bowed deeply to Ziyi and Yike to express his gratitude, while Xiangxiang translated her father's words beside him.
Ziyi accepted his thanks and also explained the job benefits again.
Xiangxiang's family cried with joy. Ziyi booked two rooms for them, one for men and one for women, and then took Xiangxiang's husband to the train station to buy tickets.
You can buy tickets at the train station as long as you have a letter of introduction. As the weather was cold and few people were going out, Ziyi and Xiangxiang's man Wang Jiabao bought the tickets in just one hour.
During dinner, Xiangxiang briefly introduced her family situation to Yike and Ziyi.
Xiangxiang's father is Wang Yuege, who is only in his forties, but he looks so old that people would believe he is sixty.
Brother Xiangxiang’s name is Wang Yinle. It is said that this name was given by his grandfather. As you can tell from the name, he is an old man who loves music.
Her sister-in-law is called Zhang Ermei, a gentle woman who is very nice to Xiangxiang's brothers and sisters. Xiangxiang always has a smile on her face when she talks about her sister-in-law. It seems that they have a very good relationship.
Xiangxiang's younger brothers and sisters are much younger than their actual age. They look two or three years younger and are thin and small.
Her two younger brothers and three younger sisters all snuggled up to their sister-in-law, their eyes full of admiration.
This is a kind family. They are lucky to have a kind daughter-in-law. They are lucky to have met Yi Ke and Zi Yi. This family is lucky...
In the early morning, in the quiet and peaceful city of H, the fog that shrouded the city gradually dissipated, and the early morning sunlight gave the entire city a light golden hue, sprinkling on the people who were hurrying to work in the city, creating a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.
Yike and Ziyi took Ran Dongsheng and Xiangxiang's family back by train. After getting off the train, they took everyone back to the courtyard in the county town.
After Ziyi arrived in the county town, he drove a jeep to buy defective cloth. This time he wanted to bring a large amount of cloth into the mountains to make factory uniforms. This required a lot of cloth, so he drove to several counties before buying enough cloth to make factory uniforms.
Yike was not idle either. She took Xiangxiang and her younger brothers and sisters to the department store to shop. Xiangxiang's eyes were filled with tears, and Xiangxiang's younger brothers and sisters were so happy that their mouths were grinning from ear to ear.
Back at the courtyard, Xiangxiang's brothers and sisters happily put on their new clothes. They showed them off to their father and brothers and sisters-in-law. Xiangxiang's father and brothers were as excited as Xiangxiang and burst into tears...
