Lin Fangshi was making matchboxes at home. There weren't many matchboxes today, and she had almost enough matchboxes by herself, so she asked her two children to go out to play.
She also felt sorry for her two children and thought about what to do in the future. She was illiterate and uneducated. The children were getting older and she was unable to send them to school. The thought of this made her heartbroken.
Do you really want to remarry? Thinking of remarriage, she shook her head. Her parents' family would not agree, and neither would the Lin family.
According to their thinking, if Mr. Lin remarries, will the two children of Mr. Lin also have to change their surnames? Then my daughter has to come back, so why should I raise children for your Fang family?
"No, I must send the Red Army to school. Even if it doesn't work, let him learn a skill from a master." Lin Fang murmured to himself.
"Mom, we are back. What do you think we brought back?" Lin Hongjun lifted the two fishes up as if they were offering treasures, and Lin Hongyi also used the strength to lift them to feed them and filled a handful of them with lotus leaves. The offal fish was placed on the table.
In fact, Su Xiaoqiang originally wanted to dig lotus roots, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it. It was too dirty and there was no shortage of food. Why was he so tired?
"Did you catch this fish yourself?"
"No, we just helped dig the tunnel. Brother Su gave it to us and said that we also helped catch fish." Lin Hongjun answered honestly.
"How did mom teach you, don't take things that don't belong to you? How can you ask for the fish given by Brother Su? You forgot that Brother Su saved your sister. We haven't repaid this kindness!" Lin Fang said angrily .
"Mom, don't be angry. I promise to help Brother Su with more work in the future. Brother Su also agrees. I just want to replenish the health of my little sister and my mother." Lin Hongjun said softer and softer. He is fine now. I hope that I will grow up soon and be able to go out to work and support my family.
Lin Hongyi also said in a sweet voice: "I will also help with the work~"
Although Lin Fangshi had never read a book, she was not stupid. She immediately felt that Su Xiaoqiang intended to help her family.
If...she thought of Su Xiaoqiang's craftsmanship, if Lin Hongjun could learn a thing or two from him, she would have hope in the future.
"Then you have to be hardworking and do whatever Brother Su asks you to do. Be obedient and talk less and work more. Do you understand?" Lin Fangshi was speechless and choked while holding her two children. She only blamed herself for not having the ability and only her mother-in-law. heartless.
"Yes, we will." Lin Hongjun didn't think too much. Others were afraid of Su Xiaoqiang, but he was not afraid. He also wanted to become so powerful that he could protect his family.
…
When Yan Bugui returned home, he asked his wife to kill the fish and marinate it with some.
The Yan family basically relies on pickling to eat fish. If you ask for braised fish, Yan Bugui will blow his head off. Braised fish consumes a lot of oil!
"Dad, let's eat a fish tonight. I've been drinking water these days and I'm feeling weak. You don't want me to be so skinny as to marry the bride, right? I can't even hold her in my arms when the time comes!" Yan Jiecheng looked at her. My mouth is watering as I look at this big fat fish. Even if it is not fried, it can be boiled.
No matter if it smells fishy or not, eating enough is the most important thing!
"Don't worry, let's eat something thicker tonight." Yanbu Gui said carefully: "Honey, put a sweet potato in the porridge."
"Wow!~ Is there any big day today?" Yan Jiecheng was surprised. What's going on with this stingy father?
In the past, a person who could hang a salted fish in the air and let everyone watch the salted fish drink water would be a waste of time according to his wishes.
Today we are going to eat sweet potatoes, and several other Yan family children gathered around excitedly.
"I found someone who can help get the sweet potatoes. Everyone will help carry the sweet potatoes at 12 o'clock tonight. How can I have the strength if I don't eat enough!" Yan Bugui said proudly,
"Dad is still awesome. It's so hard to buy food now, but you can still buy sweet potatoes!" Yan Jiecheng was really impressed.
"This matter must be kept secret. If you have something to eat, eat it secretly. If someone finds out, you won't have anything to eat. Do you understand me?"
The Yan family are very stingy. When they heard that they didn't get anything to eat, they immediately shook their heads crazily and said they wouldn't tell anyone!
12 am.
Su Xiaoqiang, who was wearing a black hood, came to the door of the opposite courtyard. He didn't use disguise this time. He was so close. He left after putting them away. After looking around and seeing no one, he took out 200 kilograms of sweet potatoes, each weighing five. There are only about forty sweet potatoes weighing six pounds.
Creak...
The door opened very softly. Yan Bugui was indeed the gatekeeper. He knew how to open the door with the smallest sound.
"It's all here, pay with one hand and deliver the goods with one hand!"
Yan Bugui was shocked when he saw that the other party was a man wearing a balaclava, but his eyes lit up when he saw the sweet potatoes on the ground, so he took out 20 yuan and handed it over without hesitation.
"Comrade, if I want to find you in the future, where can I go?" Yan Bugui asked curiously.
"Look for your old friend, he knows how to find me." After Su Xiaoqiang said that, he ran away quickly.
Yan Bugui thought that he would really have a good relationship with Su Xiaoqiang in the future. Even if the famine was over, he could still buy some sweet potatoes to eat. It was always cheaper than whole grains.
The six members of the Yan family moved all the sweet potatoes back and forth seven times without disturbing anyone.
"With these sweet potatoes, I can finally get through this year!" Yan Bugui said with a smile. Although he felt a little sad after spending 20 yuan, he didn't feel anything when he saw the food.
Everyone in the Yan family nodded. They could eat about ten kilograms of sweet potatoes every week. If everyone shared a share, no one would starve to death.
The next day.
Zhang Li came over early in the morning and pulled Su Xiaoqiang up.
"I'm going to school and won't be back until the end of the year." Zhang Li said, carrying a small package.
"Uh... you look like a little girl like this." Su Xiaoqiang said with a smile. Zhang Li often made her face dirty in the past, but she was not used to it looking so clean today.
She is only 14 years old, not yet developed, with flat breasts, a heroic face, and a bit of a tomboyish streak.
"Of course, the school is very safe! No need to put on makeup, is there anything else you can say?"
"What about your fish?"
…
Zhang Li left anyway, kicking stones on the roadside and cursing as she walked.
