After Su Li left, she rode her bicycle back home, then took a snakeskin bag and put the old quilts that had not been used at home into the bag.
Although it was an old quilt, the original owner was reluctant to use it. It was the dowry that the Su family gave her. It was a 15-jin quilt made of a combination of new and old cotton.
The Tian family can split this quilt into two quilts. After all, besides Old Mrs. Tian, there is also a baby in the family. Children are delicate and cannot be covered with quilts with lumps. Besides, the cotton in it can be used to make some cotton clothes for the child. For Su Li, why not do it? It's all about helping, and the child is what Su Li wants to help the most. After all, he has just come into this world and has not experienced this world yet.
Later, ten catties of sweet potatoes, thirty catties of coarse grains, ten catties of noodles, two catties of brown sugar and one catty of pork were added.
After thinking about it, she added two more packets of red dates and ten eggs. It was just the right way to replenish Mrs. Tian's weak body. She also didn't want that woman to die early. Children without mothers are the most pitiful.
After packing, Su Li went to Xie's house to find Xie Zhengyang. Su Li told Xie's father, Xie's mother and Xie Zhengyang about the Tian family. Although the Xie family was surprised that Su Li took so many things, they were still satisfied with saving people.
"Third wife, Dad is not against you saving people, but what's the old saying... Oh! Help in emergencies, not in poverty. The people in Shanghe Village are too poor. Our family has only gotten better recently. You can write books and make money. I don't know how many eyes are staring at your little family right now. Zhengyang should wait until night to send the things to the Tian family to avoid gossip."
It would have been fine if Old Man Xie didn't say anything, but when he spoke it was like an epiphany, and Su Li was completely stunned!
Yes! She had been living a very comfortable life these days. Not only with Xie Zhengchuan and the children, but also with the dangers that had occurred several times, which made her relax her vigilance and live her life with all her heart.
But she forgot that poor and remote areas breed unruly people. Her family eats so well every day, and the fragrance wafts everywhere. She doesn't know how many people are staring at them behind their backs.
Just thinking about this made Su Li break out in a cold sweat, "Dad, you are really a wise man, your daughter-in-law understands."
Father Xie blushed for a moment when he was praised by Su Li, "Haha! There is no such wisdom, it's just nonsense, nonsense."
Having said that, the smugness in the eyes can't deceive anyone.
Seeing her husband's smug look, Xie's mother couldn't help but glance at him. Xie Zhengyang was also amazed by his father.
In the evening, Xie Zhengyang delivered supplies to Tian Laoshi's family. In addition to what Su Li brought, Xie's father and mother added a lot of dried vegetables and potatoes.
Old Mrs. Tian has woken up and is in better spirits. Sister-in-law Tian has learned the whole story from Old Man Tian. Thinking that the brown sugar eggs she eats every day to nourish her body are the life-saving food that her mother-in-law took out of her mouth, her heart aches.
She had been disliked by her family since she was a child. When she married Tian Laoshi, her parents also sent her away casually. She never expected that her mother-in-law would treat her like this. Mrs. Tian knelt in front of the kang of Old Lady Tian while holding her child and cried hoarsely, "Mom, it's all my fault. I am not good enough. If I were not weak, I wouldn't have to work so hard and you would suffer with me. My mother..."
"Okay, stop crying. We must remember the Xie family's kindness and keep this secret. We can't let others know about it, or else the Xie family will be criticized." Old Mrs. Tian touched Mrs. Tian's hair.
Tian Laoshi also started crying, and the whole family alternated between crying and laughing.
Xie Zhengchuan helped the children wash up and returned to the room. He was about to pull Su Li to have some fun, but Su Li sat up straight when she saw him. Xie Zhengchuan saw the entanglement in Su Li's eyes and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Su Li smoothed her hair and said, "I want to help our production team build a sugar factory and a canning factory."
Su Li said this while her eyes flickered to the man's face.
I was just observing his expression, but before I knew it, I was describing his facial features with my eyes.
He has sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, thick eyelashes, a high nose bridge and deep eye sockets.
Xie Zhengchuan looked at Su Li's wandering eyes and said in a gentle voice: "This is a good thing, but if it is done, it will be very beneficial to the entire Shanghe Village and even the entire county. However, I want to ask, why do you have this idea?"
Su Li sighed, her tone aggrieved: "Too poor, Xie Zhengchuan, I just want to live a good life, but the people around me are too poor. My parents still eat two meals a day out of habit. Even if I send them meat, they are reluctant to eat more. And my mother's family, I clearly gave my mother some money, but she kept it and didn't build a new house for the family. And the Liu family, the Tian family, they all live so hard because they are too poor."
In fact, it is not just the people Su Li mentioned. Given the general environment, there are not many people with an annual income of over 10,000 yuan, and everyone lives in poverty.
"Also, our family is too eye-catching and easily attracts jealousy. Setting up a factory can divert their attention. Besides, they have work to do and are busy making money, which kills their time and energy. With more income, their living conditions will gradually improve."
Xie Zhengchuan looked at Su Liyu and said, "I understand what you mean. Sugar factories and canning factories can be used."
He has comrades in Beijing, and knows that the policies have been relaxed a lot now. Maybe in a year or two, not only will they be able to do business, but the college entrance examination may also be resumed.
"It will be very hard for you to organize all this." Xie Zhengchuan lowered his eyelashes, "Just tell me if you need my help."
"Yes! That's for sure." Su Li rubbed Xie Zhengchuan's face. She was grateful for his support. After all, this era was still very harsh on women.
Xie Zhengchuan reciprocated Su Li's enthusiasm with his actions. The two of them covered themselves with the quilt and suppressed their voices for fear of waking Bao Ya.
The next day, Baoya woke up feeling listless. She thought there was a mosquito buzzing around her ear all night. While eating, she asked, "Mom, were there mosquitoes in the room last night? They buzzed all night!"
Hu Ziyu: "Silly sister, there are no mosquitoes in winter."
"Impossible, I heard it, I just heard it, really."
After saying that, she looked at Su Li aggrievedly. Su Li blushed and turned her face away. After a while, Bao Ya widened her eyes and saw the red marks on Su Li's neck.
"Mom was bitten so badly!"
Baoya's scream scared Su Li. Xie Zhengchuan looked at Su Li's blushing face and smiled softly. Su Li kicked him under the table, "You bastard, you're actually gloating over her misfortune. It's all his fault."
After breakfast, Su Li went to the home of the village chief, Waishan, with a secret recipe.
