In the evening, the whole family worked together to harvest the rice.
Then Su's mother and a few others delivered the dried rice to the village barn.
Su Qing went home to cook dinner.
In the yard, Si Ya was lying in the cradle made by Su Che.
Before, Su Qing would just put the baby into the basin, which was severely disliked by Su's mother.
San Ya stared at her dark-skinned sister, poking her black face from time to time and sighing.
Su Qing was cooking for everyone in the kitchen, and occasionally entertaining the children outside the door.
"Sanda, why are you sighing at Siya? She's so young, what's there to sigh about?"
"Mom, you don't understand. Look, my sisters and I eat delicious food and have become more beautiful, but Si Ya can only drink tasteless milk powder. She is still ugly, dark and small. What will happen to her in the future? How can such a dark-skinned girl find a husband?"
Su Qing was at a loss whether to laugh or cry after hearing this.
A child who is over two years old is already thinking about finding a husband.
If she had realized this earlier, she wouldn't have been single for 28 years.
"It's still a long time before you sisters find your husbands, so don't worry about it. Besides, girls change a lot when they grow up. Maybe your daughter will become more and more beautiful."
San Ya remained silent and stared at Si Ya closely.
Su Qing ignored it and concentrated on preparing dinner.
Su Qing also secretly took twenty eggs, some flour, potatoes, and a chicken from the space.
The rush to harvest is too tiring. Every year, after the rush to harvest, a person will lose a lot of weight. Su Qing plans to make a more substantial meal for everyone.
I made some chopped green onions and eggs, two baskets of steamed buns, a full bowl of potatoes and braised chicken, and a bowl of honey water for everyone.
On the other side, Su Che was nervously waiting for several village cadres to inspect the grain.
"Well, yes, the millet is quite crisp and can be stored in the warehouse."
After hearing what Accountant Liao said, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Although there is still a lot of farm work waiting to be done, the most important thing is to harvest the grain.
I finally felt relieved.
Go home and have dinner in a light mood.
Before I even reached the Su family's house, I could smell a fragrance from afar.
Su Qianfan took a few deep breaths of the meaty aroma in the air and said, "It smells so good! Who is eating meat?"
Su Qianshan slapped Su Qianfan awake from behind, "You're dreaming. Who eats meat during festivals? But it's life. Even during Chinese New Year, some families may not be able to eat meat."
Ever since he came to live with his aunt, he has been very happy to have three meals a day.
Su Qianya chuckled, "It's not a dream, it's a daydream."
The group walked back laughing. The closer they got to the house, the stronger the fragrance became. Everyone looked at each other in surprise.
"Could it be that this really came from our family?"
"I told you, and you guys are still laughing at me. No, I want to eat a few more pieces than you."
"I won't give you a single piece. You'll be so greedy."
When everyone saw the table full of food in the yard, they were stunned.
Su Che quickly asked Su Qing, "Sister, where did you get all these vegetables from? Are you going to do anything stupid?"
There is a place in town, but it is not a black market, where you can exchange pornographic materials, even women, for what you need.
"Brother, what are you thinking about? I bought this because I thought you guys worked hard and wanted to improve your meals."
The couple looked at each other and understood that Su Qing was most likely going to the black market to buy something.
Wen Li also said: "You can't buy so much food at once, spend it sparingly, you still have four children."
I thought the reunion dinner we had that night was good enough, but I didn’t expect that one dish could be made into so many different dishes.
Su Qing planned to slowly tell his family about selling things on the black market. Otherwise, with just a few work points, it would be a great achievement for such a large family to be able to eat only half of their fill.
Su's mother naturally knew about Su Qing's cheat, but she didn't ask any more questions.
But Su Che ate the meal in a state of uneasiness.
The high-intensity harvesting consumed a lot of energy for everyone. After everyone gathered, they couldn't wait to eat.
Although they were very hungry, no one rushed to eat. They waited for the elders to pick up their chopsticks before starting to eat. They did not smack their lips, nor did they pick and choose among the dishes.
The cleaning operation was completed in a short while, and the children consciously cleaned up the dishes and wiped the table.
After dinner, Su Qing was pulled aside for questioning.
"Little sister, tell me honestly, did you buy this on the black market?"
Su Qing admitted it openly, "Yes."
Su Che looked very disappointed. "You are crazy and you don't want to live anymore. What if something happens? The black market is so strict now. It is raided every few days. Do you want your child to be without a father or a mother?"
"But brother, with such a large family, we can't even have enough to eat with just those few work points.
Also, how did you know the black market has been under strict scrutiny recently? Did you go there too? "
Su Che didn't expect the topic to turn to him. "No, no, how could I go to a place like that? Now it's moved to an abandoned factory outside the town. How could I dare to go there?"
Su Qing’s inner thoughts: My silly brother, he even knew that the black market had changed its location, yet he said he didn’t go.
Anyone with normal intentions could hear the guilt in Su Che's words.
Su Che has a problem. He cannot tell a lie to people close to him.
Every time I lie, I do a lot of little things, and it's hard for people not to notice.
Fortunately, this is not the case with outsiders.
"Brother, tell me the truth, why did you go to the black market?"
