Thirty kilograms of fluffy long-staple cotton were piled high on the table, with four pieces of cloth on top. The visual impact was no less than seeing a ghost in broad daylight.
"Xiao Guang, wake up, what's going on with the cotton and cloth on the table?"
The old lady didn't care that her grandson was still sleeping, and hurried to her grandson's room in the west and woke up Zhang Shuguang who was still sleeping.
"Grandma is telling you, you just found a job and your future is bright. You can't go down the wrong path!"
The old lady grabbed her eldest grandson's arm and was almost crying with anxiety.
"Grandma, don't worry. I know a guy in the city who has a lot of connections. I exchanged this with him."
Zhang Shuguang opened his sleepy eyes and hurried to comfort the anxious old lady.
"You scared me to death! I thought you were robbing the supply and marketing cooperative's warehouse!"
Liu Guixiang patted her chest and finally let out the breath she had been holding.
The old lady's trust in her eldest grandson is beyond words. No matter what Zhang Shuguang says, the old lady has no doubt about it.
"That's not right! You just started working, this thing must cost a lot of money, right? What did you exchange it for?"
Zhang Qingchun stood at the door, his eyes full of worry.
The eldest grandson had just found a job the day before yesterday, and he brought home a lot of food, as well as Moutai liquor and Zhonghua cigarettes for himself. When he went to his eldest aunt's house, he brought back more food and milk candy.
All in all, it's just over a hundred yuan. How can you earn such a high salary?
The second son served in the army for many years. After being promoted to battalion commander, he only received a monthly allowance of about 100 yuan.
Moreover, the eldest grandson only worked for one day and did not go the next day. He took himself to the eldest daughter's house.
In all his life, he had never heard of a job where the salary was paid first and then the work could be done.
"Grandpa and grandma, you two don't really think that the machinery factory recruited me because I'm good-looking, right? I caught an elk in exchange for that.
In addition to giving me a job as a purchasing agent, the factory also settled the payment for the elk.
Everything I brought back was bought with that elk."
After the old couple's commotion, Zhang Shuguang finally came to his senses and sat up from the bed.
"That's good, that's good, grandson. Keep the money safe and don't lose it. Also, try to go out less at night in the future.
If you have a job, our lives will have hope. We should take our time and there is no need to take the risk."
Last time, we asked our eldest grandson to carry a wild boar on his back to exchange for food. We really had no other choice.
Now the family has food and drink, and the eldest grandson will get a salary every month in the future, and can go to the grain and oil store to buy food every month. The old couple don’t want their eldest grandson to take risks again.
If you go out to exchange things late at night, you will know that you went to the black market without asking, because the supply and marketing cooperatives are closed at night!
"Okay, I understand."
Zhang Shuguang felt very warm because of the care from his grandparents.
"Mom, are you and Dad up yet? I'm going to get some food from the granary to cook."
In the east wing, Su Hong also got up and prepared to go to the main room to get food to make breakfast.
The eldest son said that there is no shortage of food at home and the whole family will have breakfast from now on.
Su Hong is a traditional woman, and the Three Obediences and Four Virtues are ingrained in her bones.
When young, obey your father; when middle-aged, obey your husband; when old, obey your son. These are the three obediences of a woman.
Although she was still far from old age, her son had grown up and could support the family, so Su Hong naturally followed her eldest son's advice.
"Get up, come here!"
When Su Hong entered the main room and saw the cotton and cotton cloth on the table, she naturally exclaimed again, and Zhang Shuguang had to explain it again.
"There's so much cotton and cotton cloth that we can't even use it all up to make a set of cotton clothes for everyone in our family."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law touched the long-staple cotton with great interest. The cotton was so white and soft!
"Mom, grandma, it's still summer. Let's talk about cotton clothes later. Let's make a few sets of bedding first."
Zhang Shuguang patted the bed board, making a thudding sound.
The bedding on the bed had not been taken down and restuffed for several years, and it was as cold and hard as stone.
"Brother, I feel fine!"
The second child, Zhang Shengli, is used to sleeping on a hard bed.
"What's good about it? Look at where you're sleeping. It's all alkaline because of your urine."
Two years ago, Zhang Xiangnan got into trouble, and Zhang Shuguang dropped out of school and went home to work.
I was extremely uncomfortable at the beginning and was so tired that my bones were falling apart.
After dinner, he fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow and didn't wake up the whole night. How could he care about five-year-old Zhang Shengli?
So in the past two years, Zhang Shengli would occasionally wet the bed.
"Grandma, I haven't wet the bed for a long time."
Zhang Shengli buried his head in the pillow and didn't dare to look at his family members beside the bed.
"Brother, big brother is just joking with you."
Looking at his shy brother, Zhang Shuguang quickly apologized. His brother had finally become a little more cheerful these days, and he couldn't let him become autistic again.
"Okay, listen to my eldest grandson and make the bedding first."
"My eldest grandson is really capable. In just a few days, he not only keeps the family well fed, but also warm. He's better than the others I raised!"
The old lady looked at her grandson and became happier and happier.
"Xiaohong, ask your father to ask for leave later. Don't go to work these few days. My mother's family will be at home making bedding."
"I listen to my mother."
Su Hong smiled brightly and agreed readily.
"Grandpa, you should also take some leave. There was no other way before, but your eldest grandson will take care of you in your old age."
"Grandpa, I will take care of you in your old age when I grow up."
Xiao Shengli, who had just woken up, also said the same thing to his elder brother.
"That won't do. It's enough for you two brothers to have this intention. Grandpa can still work now. When Grandpa gets old and can't work anymore, you won't be able to support me if you don't."
