After dinner, before dark, Su Nansu came to our house.
"Father, how have you been lately?"
Upon hearing this, Su hugged Bao and laughed heartily, "It's fine, we've been staying in the county town and haven't gone back."
“Your mother is doing well too. Haoran is sent to school every day, and Haojun is at home. We two old folks are lonely.”
"Sister, don't listen to Dad's nice words. He's been obsessed with collecting scraps lately, going there every day. Xue and I have tried to persuade him several times, but it's no use!" Su Nan complained.
While teasing the little girl in his arms, he asked, "Have you missed your uncle?"
께Niu Niu chuckled, the sound echoing throughout the entire house.
Su was a little embarrassed. She first rolled her eyes at the third brother, and then looked at Su Xia guiltily.
Su Xia burst out laughing. Su Nan, seeing this, exclaimed incredulously, "Sister, how can you laugh like that? I asked you to persuade Dad about his age!"
Su Xia patted him on the shoulder, "How old are you? Your father used to work in the village every day and he's used to it. Now that he's come to the county town, he has nothing. How can he be comfortable?"
Su breathed a sigh of relief. Hearing his daughter speaking to him, he immediately looked at Su Nan with a haughty expression.
Southern Jiangsu...
Seeing his reaction, Chen Jianguo suppressed a laugh...
Da Bao and Er Bao only care about that, laughing heartily to the side.
After Su Xia finished talking about Su Nan, she looked at Su Ji and said, "Dad, I know you're bored, but you can't go every day, just once a day. Take care of your health, okay?"
Su nodded immediately, "I know. When the children are on vacation, I will go to the village. The vegetables, potatoes and sweet potatoes we grow at home may be sold to outsiders for a profit."
outsider.....
Su Xia was speechless. If her older brothers heard this, they would definitely shout that they were wronged.
"Sister, Su Qiu is bringing her family back this year, they might stay at home!"
Su Xia: "What, sister-in-law is still willing!"
Su Nan shook his head, "It's Su Qiu who's afraid his wife and children will suffer!"
"Su Qiu also said that he would bring his wife and children to visit you sometime!"
Su Xia, fearless, said, "Come on, come on!"
I made a trip to Su-Nan once, but I didn't have time to come over. I brought a bag of candy for Da Bao and Er Bao.
Su Xia did not refuse, but after the two had packed the grain, she packed 10 chicken eggs and 2 goose eggs for them.
"Take this back to Haoran and Haojun!"
Upon hearing this, Su Nan nodded happily and then gave the money to Su Xia.
Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, I left with Su.
After Su Xia and the others had walked away, they followed Chen Jianguo into the house.
Su's mother, Shen Jiaxue, stayed up all night waiting for her husband to return.
It was pitch black outside. Hearing the door open, the two hurried in, each carrying a kerosene lamp.
"Mother, Xue, why aren't you asleep yet?"
"Don't worry, did you bring Dong back?" Su's mother asked hurriedly.
"Here it is... my daughter prepared it in advance!" Su said happily.
Su's mother immediately stepped forward, "Speak up!"
Su shut up. Is he happy? Ever since the two of them changed their household registration, although they have a fixed amount of food every month, they have a big appetite and they really eat as much as they do in the village.
Later, after Su Nanxue discovered this, she had been buying grain from the village for the past two years. The first year, Su bought the grain from their village, but when Su's older brothers found out, they had another argument.
This year I learned my lesson and directly asked Su Xia for help, which was both more efficient and less troublesome.
Su Nan carried the grain into the kitchen, and Su's mother, Xue, looked at the several sacks in surprise.
"so much?"
"200 jin of corn, 100 jin of potatoes, 100 jin of sweet potatoes, 200 jin of cabbage, and the radishes were all a gift from my sister, plus eggs. We'll eat them all tomorrow!" Su Nan introduced.
Xue was happy, once again feeling fortunate to have met such a good in-law family.
"Get out... I heard adults eating eggs? Those are my grandson's!"
Hearing Su's mother scold her, Ge Xue chimed in, "Mother, you and Father eat together!"
Mother Su rolled her eyes. "Eggs are for each of you, adults. The rest, along with the goose eggs, are for my grandson!"
Then he instructed Su Nan, "Tomorrow, find your brother-in-law and ask him to help buy 50 eggs in the village. If chickens are being sold now, buy two as well."
Su Nan nodded, and Xue asked, "Mother, is that enough?"
Su's mother explained, "We'll give the chicken to your parents' family, and also 10 eggs. Your parents usually treat Haoran and Haojun badly!"
Shen Jiaxue was touched when she heard this.
"Alright, go to sleep now. Don't worry about the food. If it runs out, just go find your sister!" Su's mother said generously.
Su nodded in agreement.
Sunan Snow... It feels like my parents are taking advantage of my older sister.
Su Xia....
Only after the children have fallen asleep in the evening can the couple have time together.
"Wife...you know how much I've missed you this past month....!"
Su Xia.....
If it weren't for her big head bobbing around, she might have treated people gently, like a traditional Chinese woman.
But all he felt now was disgust. Big Head shoved him away, saying, "Go away, I haven't seen you go back yet!"
Chen Jiandang....
Oh no, how could I forget about this?
He leaned in and gently hugged Su Xia, "Wife... how have you been in the village? Have you missed me?"
Su Xia chuckled, "You're doing very well, oh—you must be living the high life. As for you, oh, have the nerve, you've never even appeared in my dreams!"
Chen Jianguo... he's so hurt!
Su Xia took the money box again and counted the money in front of Chen Jianguo.
Chen Jianguo had no choice but to wait on the side, helping to tidy up as he went.
"Dalin contacted me, wanting your help to connect him with pig buyers?"
"Chen Jianguo: Okay, now that two more factories have been added in the county town, there's definitely a need!"
"And your old superior, he might have asked you to find some time to go back!"
Chen Jianguo: "Hmm, I'll exchange some tickets later and buy the old man some nice things!"
Su Xia didn't object. "By the way, has Da Ya written yet?"
"I'm here, and I'm doing great!"
Su Xia was speechless. "Is that what I care about?"
Chen Jianguo sighed. He then found Daya's letter and handed it to Su Xia, saying, "Read it yourself!"
Su Xia glared at him, but after reading the letter, her eyes lit up as she stared intently at Chen Jianguo.
Chen Jianguo felt a chill run down his spine; he had a bad feeling about it!
really--
"husband....."
"Stop, just say what's on your mind, wife, you're scaring me..." Chen Jianguo interrupted in alarm.
Su Xia....
놊껗놊떘, you really know how to interrupt her spellcasting.
"Da Ya said that there are many private houses for sale in Beijing. Should we go there?"
Chen Jianguo rolled his eyes, turned away, and ignored Su Xia.
Su Xia chuckled and didn't continue, but instead continued sorting the money.
There was 10,000 yuan in the space, which hadn't been touched. Over the past two years, Chen Jianguo's salary, plus the money from selling pigs in the village, had brought the total to 5,000 yuan, with 189 yuan left as change. There was also the money Su Nan had given him earlier for buying grain, totaling 70 yuan.
"By the way, our family's total grain yield this year is 230."
"Hmm, less is fine too. We always finish it all in previous years!"
"I can eat something else after I finish this!" Su Xia said with heartache.
I could buy more, but I dare not!
Chen Jianguo's lips twitched. Every year, his wife would do something like that, as if she were possessed, and she felt incredibly good.
"DaYa said she has a house available, so I thought we should go check it out!"
Su Xia was a little anxious. Soon it would be 1973, and four years would be left until 1977. Now that more and more people were being criticized and brought back, those people would definitely be dealing with the houses in the village.
Although Chen Jianguo was puzzled by his wife's urgency, she had been nagging him for years, saying, "Buy it, buy it!"
"Okay, when Niu Niu and the others are on holiday, we'll send the kids to the village. Then they'll say I'm not feeling well and need a family member to accompany me, so the two of us can go together!"
Su Xia nodded excitedly upon hearing this.
"When the time comes, take all the money from home and exchange it all for houses!" Su Xia blurted out the truth.
Chen Jianguo.....
After the initial surprise, they assumed Su Xia was exaggerating and wouldn't leave any room for doubt, so they didn't take it seriously.
But when he was left with absolutely no money, he deeply regretted it!
