Chapter 86 I'm Going to Learn How to Play Cotton

Su Er took two pears to the next village.

The two villages are not far apart, and it takes half an hour to go back and forth.

I went to Shenshi at noon and came back with a thick layer of snow on my head and shoulders, and my face was as black as pot paint.

At that time, Tianbao had just eaten his rations and was being burped in Grandma's arms.

"That old godly woman from the Chen family is nothing! She wasted two pears in vain!"

Before the two of them entered the house, they began to curse in a loud voice, "Nowadays, every household has to save food to survive. In order not to make it difficult for Xiu'er, I specially avoided going to the meal point.

This person is afraid that I will bite her! After helping her family with work for two hours, it’s time for supper.

He began to sing and drive people away! Saying that the fruit is rare is better than satisfying the greed. In poor families, a mouthful of rice and a mouthful of porridge are not worth the price. Their families plan every meal carefully and save money.

!Damn it! From the beginning to the end, I had no intention of eating a grain of rice from her at her house, I can’t stand her idleness!"

He Daxiang felt sorry for the man and hurriedly took out a pot from the corner of the main room and set it on the fire to heat up a bowl of batter left at noon for him.

The kitchen is gone, so it won't be possible to set up one for a while. Now, when we eat at home, we just have a meal in the main room, so we can make peace first.

"Mom rang specially left a bowl of food for you. I guessed that you would be hungry early in the morning. That old godly woman! She didn't leave any food and let you work in vain. You treated our men as free labor! I don't think she would save that.

Can you make a fortune with just one mouthful? Bah!"

Su Er brushed off the snow foam on his body under the eaves before entering. He closed the door of the hall and sat down next to the brazier.

The warmth dissipated the coldness from his body, and with his wife exhaling from the same nostril as him, and the three children rushing up to squeeze his shoulders and beat his legs, Su Er suddenly felt comfortable all over, and the breath he had been holding all the way was gone.

After nearly half of it was gone, “I’d rather leave it at home and feel at home.”

Poverty is poverty, and hardship is suffering, but when someone at home asks for help, my heart feels warm in my bones.

Mrs. Su came out of the room with Tian Bao in her arms and sat down on the stool.

In this winter, the house was shaken and drafts leaked from all directions, and it was much warmer around the brazier than inside.

She carefully pulled up the swaddling clothes with rough hands to prevent the baby from being exposed to the wind, and said calmly, "Okay, how could I have eaten at her house in the past years? After Xiu'er got married, she would often come back to help when there was something wrong at home.

For Xiu'er's sake, don't worry about this with her. Let's eat first to cushion your stomach."

When my mother spoke, Su Er moved his lips, suppressed what he still wanted to say, and changed the subject, "Why didn't you see dad and the boss when you came back?"

"I went to collect firewood for the market." Old woman Su said, "If I sell it for a few copper coins, I can bring back some noodles."

A faint hint of worry flashed across the old woman's eyes.

The price of firewood is so low that one car can only be exchanged for six or seven kilograms of black flour at most, which is enough to feed a large family for more than ten days.

The food supply at home will soon be at the bottom, and I don’t know if this situation will last until spring next year.

While I was thinking about it, there were faint sounds of mourning and mourning coming from a distance. The sounds were all filled with pain and helplessness against reality.

Old woman Su swallowed her sigh.

The life of a poor man is worth less than firewood.

The batter on the brazier is hot, and the smell wafts out with the heat. The smell of rough and inferior noodles is not pleasant.

Yao Bao twisted his little head and glanced in that direction. The cracked porcelain bowl should have been pulled out from the collapsed kitchen. It contained half a bowl of thin black paste. The paste was rough and mixed with a little sweet potato.

Broken pieces.

She had never seen anything like this before, but she could find something for comparison in her poor memory.

When she was a child, the chicken from her aunt's family next door was better than this.

Su Er picked up the porcelain bowl, avoiding the gap, and took a big gulp while snoring. The hot and sticky batter went down his stomach, and the warmth spread in his internal organs. He felt like he was completely alive. He smacked his lips and squinted his eyes with satisfaction.

As for black noodles irritating your throat, it's not a problem at all. Everyone has been eating this way since childhood.

Yao Bao watched quietly, a little confused as to why his uncle tasted so delicious something that looked so unpalatable.

It was much harder to realize that this family was much poorer than I imagined.

She retracted her gaze, thought for a moment, stretched out her little hands, clenched them, and was about to wave them.

Can't move.

It was wrapped by another big, thin and rough hand.

Yao Bao raised his head in confusion and looked at Grandma.

She doesn't want to be a human anyway, and after she dies, the things in her dimension will be buried with her.

There are still a lot of fruits on the pear tree, so she can take them all out to avoid wasting them.

From the time she was born until now, the people in this family have been very kind to her, neither beating nor scolding her, making her feel comfortable.

Then she is willing to give it.

It was to repay them for the warmth she felt.

Old woman Su was so frightened that she broke into a cold sweat.

If I hadn't luckily caught sight of that little hand in a blink of an eye, there would have been another pear attack at home.

There are three little cubs nearby!

A three- or four-year-old kid is still ignorant and doesn't know what to say and what not to say. If the strange news in the family accidentally gets spread, the sweet baby will really be regarded as a monster!

Holding down her granddaughter's fist, old woman Su stood up quietly and returned to her room.

After entering the room, he breathed a sigh of relief. He patted the small hand with his big hand and scolded in a low voice, "Little girl, are you going to scare grandma to death? Didn't I tell you that there are adults to worry about at home? Ah?

I know you have good things. They are gifts from God and they are valuable. Treasure, you hide the things first. When the family really can’t support it, can you take out some more?"

Liu Yuelan was in her confinement and couldn't get out of the house. She didn't know what happened. When she heard the words, she asked inexplicably, "Mom, what's going on?"

"Girl Tianbao, I just wanted to lay pears again outside! How can I do this anytime, anywhere?"

"...Pfft!"

The word "Xia Li" reminded Liu Yuelan of the scene last night and she couldn't help laughing.

"Xiao An, Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu are young and lax. If one day they let it slip out, big trouble will happen!" Old woman Su glared at her, "You mother-in-law are worried too.

Big, you can still laugh."

Liu Yuelan hurriedly calmed her expression and suppressed a smile, "Mom, Tianbao wants to lighten the burden on the family. Although pears are not as filling as porridge and rice, they can be exchanged for money at the market. In the cold winter, such a good fruit is considered

It’s a rare thing. Don’t the wealthy families in town put some at home as snacks in time for the New Year? It just so happens that by changing the money, I can buy more rice and noodles for my family.”

Originally, Liu Yuelan was joking about Mrs. Chen's two calculating words, but it turned out that it was such an idea that her eyes lit up.

Old Madam Su knocked her on the forehead, "You say you are big-hearted, but you are really big-hearted. Tian Bao is said to be a gift from God. Can you eat and take whatever you want? If you take more, you will get a discount.

Blessings to my sweet baby!”

Tianbao is so speechless that he cannot speak.

What blessings are you giving away? Take all you want!

I just want to die!
