As soon as Old Lady Li returned to the Youth League Home, she saw Li Zhaonan and Li Niuniu playing hopscotch, which made her even angrier.
In no time, he stepped on the wire on the ground.
"What are you doing? Did you dig up the wild vegetables today? Did you earn any work points?"
Li Zhaonan was a little frightened when he met the look in Old Lady Li's eyes. He picked up his backpack and ran away.
"What are you still doing standing here, eating free rice?"
After being glared at by Old Lady Li, Li Niuniu knew that she could not play today, so she slowly picked up the sickle on the ground and went to find Li Zhaonan.
…
Time flies and it is time for the refugees to move to their new homes.
Old Mrs. Li seemed to be against Su Qing and insisted on choosing the house opposite the Su family.
Every time Su Qing opened the door, he could always see Old Mrs. Li sitting in the Li family yard doing needlework.
That day, the village chief hesitated for a long time at the door of the Su family.
"Dad, why don't you come in?" Aunt Wang, who came late, looked at her old man wandering at the door and asked in confusion.
"I...I'll wait for you."
The village chief certainly couldn't say that he was embarrassed to go in.
Old Lady Li watched the village head and his wife enter the Su family and couldn't help but wonder, "Could it be that the Su family is colluding with the village head's family? Otherwise, how could the Su family eat egg custard every meal?"
Even she was greedy for the fragrance, let alone Lai Nan and Ying Nan.
"Xiaoqing, can your husband help me find out where else in town I can buy food? I know I shouldn't be so shameless as to tell you this, but I'm really desperate.
I have quite a few children at home, and the youngest is still breastfeeding. Eating sweet potatoes and wild vegetables every day is something adults can tolerate, but not children.”
As the village chief spoke, tears filled his eyes.
Because the child didn’t eat well, his granddaughter-in-law had no milk to feed him. The child was thin and small, and his crying was not even as loud as a cat’s meow.
"I……"
Just as Su Qing was about to speak, he noticed Old Lady Li peeking at the door.
Aunt Wang also noticed her, and without saying a word, she walked out and took Old Lady Li to the Li family, saying that she wanted to discuss needlework with her.
Old Mrs. Li was so anxious. She vaguely heard something about the food, but before she could figure out what was going on, she was driven away.
"Village chief, to be honest, we don't have much way to get food, and my family only eats sweet potatoes and wild vegetables.
Don’t look at the rice porridge my child eats now. It was mailed back by his godmother in the provincial capital, and the price is several times higher than usual.
Food is in such short supply right now, even if we could get it, the price wouldn’t be low.”
Su Qing had the idea of selling low-priced grain on the black market, but he didn't know the specific situation yet and couldn't give the village chief an accurate answer so quickly.
"I know. As long as you can help me ask, any price will be fine. A baby can't eat much."
After talking to the parents for a few minutes, the village chief called out "Aunt Wang" and left.
Old Mrs. Li felt like she was being scratched by a cat.
As soon as the village chief left, he couldn't wait to come to Su's house to find Su Qing to sound out the situation.
"Niece, why did the village chief come to see you?"
"Borrow a bicycle."
It is obvious to everyone that the Su family has a bicycle.
"Did you borrow it?"
"The guy who went to work rode away. "Mrs. Li, do you have a lot of free time? If you have a lot of free time, can't you just build a fence in front of your house? Your chickens run into my yard every day and poop and peck everywhere. If I get annoyed one day, I'll just kill them and make a meal. Believe it or not."
Seeing Su Qing's serious expression, how could Mrs. Li not believe it?
He chased the two chickens that were about to enter the Su family's yard and walked back.
"You damn thing, you have no eyes. Can't you see what this place is? Do you think you can enter? Be careful, one day you will be killed by someone."
Old Mrs. Li cursed Su Qing in a roundabout way.
Su Qing took the water that Xiao Wu used to wash his butt and poured it directly into Lao Li's yard.
Old Mrs. Li's cursing voice suddenly stopped.
After Cheng Fangyi got off work, Su Qing went to discuss with him the issue of releasing low-priced grain.
"The most common items in our warehouse right now are wheat and corn kernels."
Thanks to Su Qing's hard work day and night, tens of thousands of kilograms of grain were stored in the warehouse.
"Are you sure you really want to sell it at the original price?"
Now the price of grain on the black market has risen from 60 or 70 cents to more than 2 yuan.
“Of course, most of them are simple villagers who have been dealing with the soil all their lives. It’s a bit sad that they can’t even eat at the end of the day.
Besides, we earn a lot on a daily basis, so this little bit is not a big deal."
Just think of it as doing good deeds for your own family.
"Okay, then let's go to town tomorrow. If we have enough time, I'd also like to go to the provincial capital."
"You haven't given up the black market in the provincial capital yet?"
Cheng Fangyi was obsessed with taking over the black market in the provincial capital, and Daqiang was also ready to go to the provincial capital to take over at any time.
"Well, I want to expand it outward."
Apart from Su Qing, the black market in the provincial capital is his second obsession.
He always felt that if he missed it, it would change their family's life.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
"What about the child?"
Looking at the little kid sleeping soundly beside him, Cheng Fangyi felt a little overwhelmed.
"Take them with you. Just say you're taking them to visit their parents. It's a good opportunity to see Meilan."
The two have never met again since Tang Meilan returned to the city.
First, Su Qing was pregnant and couldn't travel far. Then Tang Meilan had morning sickness and couldn't travel far either.
Now that they have all had children, they are bound by their children.
Just take this opportunity to take a look.
I heard that Tang Meilan gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. They are already half a year old, but she has never seen them.
