"I'm not afraid. All the kids in the village couldn't beat me before." Da Ya was not afraid at all.
"The eldest in our family is ambitious, but you are still a child. If something happens at school, you must come back and tell us." Su Xiaoqiang knelt down and said, "My uncle can choose the courtyard opposite, or he can choose the school. It doesn't matter. Change school!”
"Hey, there's no need for me, uncle. I'll take care of the relationship. If there are fewer people, I'll fight. If there are more people, I'll run away~"
"Smart!" Su Xiaoqiang said with a smile.
"My youngest, can you still get sweet potatoes?" Yao Erniang suddenly asked.
"Mother-in-law!" Lu Baolian was sitting there watching the interaction between Su Xiaoqiang and Daya, but when she heard Yao Erniang ask this, she stood up.
"Daughter-in-law, how long are you going to endure it? If you don't say anything, are you going to watch people starve to death?" Yao Erniang suppressed what Lu Baolian wanted to say in one sentence.
"I know you don't want to embarrass Xiaoqiang. Why don't we just ask? If we can, we'll do it. If we can't, we'll do it."
"You can still get sweet potatoes if you think of a way. What happened?" Su Xiaoqiang probably guessed it.
"There was a letter from your sister-in-law's family five days ago. It probably means that she wants to borrow food. You know the situation in the village." Yao Erniang concluded simply.
"Don't worry about them. They didn't agree with me marrying Da Qiang and looked down upon Da Qiang. I didn't want to help them, and I couldn't help them." Lu Baolian said angrily.
Su Xiaoqiang also remembered that it was not easy for Lu Baolian to marry her back then. Her family just didn't agree and even offered a sky-high price of 200 yuan as a bride price.
At that time, Qin Huairu had just broken off the engagement, and Su Daqiang was in a state of depression. He only got better after meeting Lu Baolian. Everyone thought that Yao Erniang would definitely not agree. For 200 yuan, he could marry more than a dozen wives.
I just didn't expect that Yao Erniang would spend 200 yuan to propose marriage without saying a word. Now she couldn't get off the stage. In addition, Lu Baolian was crying and kneeling, and the marriage was finally consummated.
Of course, in the end Lu Baolian also gave up her harsh words and said that she would never have her mother's family again and would never come back.
"How come you kid still remembers the past? It's not normal for parents to want their children to live well." Yao Erniang sat next to Lu Baolian and stroked his back,
"Look at the etiquette and the dowry. Even though I haven't come to see you in these years, when you gave birth to several children, someone sent you gifts. On the contrary, I think you should go back and see you. They, there are no parents in the world who hate each other overnight."
"If I hadn't asked Daqiang to write a letter back, none of us would have known how difficult it was for them now." After Yao Erniang finished talking on the phone, Lu Baolian calmed down.
She knew how arrogant her parents were. Now that she was asking for help, she was afraid that the family had been without food for many days. Thinking of this, she was a little anxious and worried.
"I can actually get as many sweet potatoes as I want, but the price is a bit expensive now." Seeing Lu Baolian's soft-heartedness, Su Xiaoqiang immediately knew what he should do.
"I think a hundred pounds is almost enough, right?" Lu Baolian thought for a while and said.
"What can a hundred kilograms do? Sweet potatoes are useless without other food. I think the more the better." Yao Erniang said with a smile. It would be best for her daughter-in-law to figure it out, otherwise she will keep it in her heart and never be able to understand it in this life.
"Well, a batch of sweet potatoes will arrive from my friend's place recently, weighing about several thousand kilograms, and two hundred kilograms of rice. Sweet potatoes cost 1.2 cents per catty, and rice costs 8 cents." Su Xiaoqiang thought for a while and said.
The rice we drew last time increased tenfold. There were two thousand kilograms of rice in the space, and we couldn't finish it. We might as well take out two hundred kilograms.
"So much?" Not only Lu Baolian, but also Yao Erniang were surprised, thinking that the youngest of them is really capable. No one can get food now, but the youngest can get a thousand catties of food.
"Youngest, I know you often go to the pigeon market. Is it really okay for you to make such a big deal?" Yao Erniang originally thought that Su Xiaoqiang was just a small mess. The sweet potatoes weighed a hundred catties at most, and the others were probably about ten catties at most.
"It's okay. I don't participate directly myself. I have people handle it for me. People who buy it don't know it's me. It's very safe." Su Xiaoqiang smiled and signaled Yao Erniang not to worry.
Yao Erniang was still worried, "I think we won't go to the pigeon market anymore after this transaction is over. Our family is not short of food now."
In the past, there was no way, the rations at home were not enough, so Yao Erniang acquiesced in Su Xiaoqiang's going to the pigeon market, mainly because she believed in Su Xiaoqiang's skills.
"I will pay attention to it myself. You don't know what I am capable of. If it really doesn't work, no one can catch me if I run away."
"Okay, wife, please write a letter back there and say that there are 1,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes and 100 kilograms of rice, a total of 200 yuan, and ask them to bring enough money to transport the grain." After Yao Erniang finished speaking, she went to make dinner.
As soon as the matter was finished, Su Daqiang came back.
Su Daqiang has now officially become Master Hu as his master, so he leaves early and comes back late every day. On his days off, Master Hu takes Su Daqiang out to work to earn extra money. In order to take the engineering grade exam as soon as possible, Su Daqiang also sleeps at home every day.
"Daqiang, you came back just in time. I have something to discuss with you." Seeing Daqiang come back, Lu Baolian suddenly felt a backbone in her heart.
"You guys chat, I'll go lie down for a while." What followed was their husband and wife's whisper, and Su Xiaoqiang didn't want to hear it.
Anyway, during the last dinner, Su Daqiang strongly expressed that he must help with this matter, and he also had channels to get food.
"Uh...brother, where did you get it from?" Su Xiaoqiang asked curiously, is Su Daqiang the protagonist?
"I have been doing carpentry recently and I know a deputy director of the Grain Bureau. He can't get a few thousand kilograms, but he can get a hundred kilograms of stick noodles." Su Daqiang didn't hide it.
"It's better to say goodbye. You'd better maintain this relationship well. I'll take care of the food issue." Su Xiaoqiang immediately refused, and it was better to go to his own side for safety.
Yao Erniang also felt that it was safe for her younger son to go out. If you check the things in the pigeon market, you can't find them at all. The granary is no joke.
"Okay, I'm going to bother you again, little brother, I'll give you money." Su Daqiang said and was about to get the money.
Bang~~~
"I've finished eating, let's go!" Su Xiaoqiang saw that there was no end, so he threw away his chopsticks and left.
"You, Duoduo will help Xiaoqiang in the future when he gets married." Lu Baolian said with a smile.
