The next day happened to be a holiday, and Li Jianhua took Xu Huizhen and Li'er to visit his elder brother. It wasn't that Xu Huizhen didn't believe what Li Jianhua said, but there were some things she still wanted to see out of habit.

This is the character of a strong woman, and she won’t feel at ease if you don’t let her see it.

Li Jianhua's three-wheeled bicycle is much more convenient. Taking the bus used to be a hassle. The three of them went directly to the elder brother's house. Xu Huiwen was stunned when he saw his sister, but then he felt relieved when he saw that there was nothing strange about her.

Xu Huiwen was afraid that something would happen if his sister came suddenly. He had seen too many things going wrong in the past year, so sometimes not contacting her was a good thing. At least it meant that everyone was fine.

"What are you brothers and sisters talking about outside? Hurry up and sit inside. Come inside and sit down." The sister-in-law saw a few people talking outside and hurriedly called them in.

The eldest brother and his wife both know Li Jianhua. In the past, Li Jianhua often came to the eldest brother's winery to buy wine for the bistro. Sometimes he would have a bite at the eldest brother's place at noon. Of course, Li Jianhua would bring some gifts every time he came, so the eldest brother and sister-in-law had a very good impression of him.

, has already recognized him as a godmother.

"Brother, sister-in-law." Li Jianhua greeted them and presented them with the gifts he had brought.

"Huizhen, Jianhua, why are you so polite? Just come and bring any gifts." The eldest sister-in-law glanced at the things and said enthusiastically. Sisters-in-law are rarely harmonious, but Xu Huizhen doesn't come here very often, and she brings her every time she comes.

with gifts, so they get along well.

As for Li Jianhua, she knew something about the godbrother recognized by her sister-in-law. He was a cadre and polite, so she naturally recognized this godbrother.

"Sister-in-law, these are home-cooked things for the children to eat freshly." Li Jianhua said with a smile.

Two kilograms of peach cakes, a few apples, and six or seven sesame seed cakes are the gifts that Li Jianhua brought this time. Don't underestimate these sesame seed cakes. Giving gifts of sugar sesame seed cakes is very particular, and is similar to the level of dim sum.

Li'er grabbed Li Jianhua's trouser leg and looked at a boy at the door. This boy is the eldest brother's younger son, named Xu Guanghua. There are two children in the Xu family. The eldest is eleven this year, and he probably went crazy playing early in the morning.

Er is a little older than Li'er, and it seems that his brother didn't take him with him today.

"Guanghua, come here, don't you recognize me?" Li Jianhua called the little guy over and said with a smile.

"I know, you are delicious uncle." The little guy came over and said. Because Li Jianhua gave him sweets every time he came, so even if Li Jianhua didn't come for more than half a year, the little guy still remembered him.

"Haha~ Li'er, go play with brother You Guanghua!" Li Jianhua took out some candies from his pocket, divided them between the two and said with a smile.

Children of similar age can naturally play together. Li'er and Guanghua had a good time playing together last time. It's just that they haven't seen each other for a long time and they are a bit estranged. After hearing what Li Jianhua said, the two children held hands and went to play in the yard.

Already.

After the two children left, the elder sister-in-law poured them tea, and they chatted about home affairs. Xu Huizhen asked her elder brother about his recent situation, mainly asking about the food situation.

"Hey! We who ate from the big pot before were jealous of those of us who ate from the food supply. At that time, people ate fine grains every day, but they were so busy cooking. After only a few days, they forgot about their origins and wasted a lot of grain every day. At that time, I said that sooner or later

Yes~" Xu Huiwen sighed and said.

"Uh-huh~ Lao Xu, why are you talking about this? There are still some eggs at home. I'll give you buns with leeks and eggs at noon!" At the critical moment, the sister-in-law hurriedly coughed. Xu Huiwen and Xu Hui are really brothers and sisters, but now

They are two families, and there still needs to be a certain distance.

Of course, the sister-in-law doesn't have any bad intentions. We can only get along well if we get along with each other. Xu Huizhen, the sister-in-law, brought them gifts, and she was also going to give them some souvenirs when they left.

There was nothing she could do about the meal. The meat on the supply had been gone since the beginning of the month, so steamed buns with leeks and eggs were already the best treat she could offer.

"Huizhen, your sister-in-law is cautious in doing things. Don't mind. What I just said is indeed a bit excessive. The current environment is like this, and everyone's life is difficult. Uh~ I don't mean anything else. If you have any difficulties, just talk to me

He said, as long as I can help you, I will definitely help you." Xu Huiwen said with some embarrassment.

Because when it came to food, Xu Huiwen subconsciously thought that her sister was going to say this. Don't think about it outside the plan. He really had no choice. He was living on that little supply now. Fortunately, all four of his family had supplies.

, much better than those in the village.

This is also based on the winery that their father left behind. The wineries were merged after the joint venture. Although they lost the winery, they also gained the status of city residents, and they could live a good life earning wages and food supplies.

.

"Brother, I'm really fine. Jianhua has a day off today, so we came over to see you." Xu Huizhen said again.

"It's really okay! Then I'm relieved." Xu Huiwen knew her sister's character, so she felt relieved when she saw that she was really okay, and the subsequent conversation became much more casual.

He has no choice. Since last year, relatives in the village have been borrowing food constantly. Among them, Xu Huizhi is the one who comes to him the most. He even came here yesterday and heard that He Yongqiang fell ill due to overwork.

Xu Huiwen gave her five dollars in private. He was not pitiful for He Yongqiang, but because Xu Huizhi said that she wanted to ask Xu Huizhen for money. As an elder brother, he was afraid that his sister would be wronged, so he helped.

The sister-in-law moved very quickly, and within a short time, they could smell the fragrance of the steamed buns. Today is a holiday, and people are used to eating two meals, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, and go to bed early at night.

So at almost ten o'clock, they started eating, and Xu Huizhen, her brother's family, was not polite. If she really left without eating, it would embarrass her brother.

"Brother, I got a batch of dried corn, but it's a bit old. If you want it, I'll give you some." Li Jianhua took a moment and whispered to Xu Huiwen.

This big brother is good. He helped him a lot when he was selling old wine. Li Jianhua will naturally reciprocate the favor. Besides, this is his uncle, so he must help!

"Yes, yes!" Xu Huiwen's eyes lit up, and then she glanced at Xu Huizhen, who was whispering to her wife. Seeing that neither of them paid attention, she continued to ask.

"Jianhua, how many kilograms can you give me and what's the price?"

"Three hundred kilograms! Brother, if you want it, I will deliver it to you tomorrow night. The price will be based on the black market price~" Li Jianhua didn't talk nonsense. Nowadays, food has a price but no market. The price he said is quite reasonable. If not

Uncle, he won't take action.

The two of them muttered for a while and settled the matter. Xu Huiwen was convinced that her sister was not asking for food from him, but was sending him food.

Three hundred kilograms of dried corn, even though it was old grain that Li Jianhua bought that was already dying, Xu Huiwen would thank Li Jianhua every time she talked about it in the future. This was life-saving food!

After bidding farewell to their eldest brother, Xu Huizhen and the others went to their second aunt's house in the village, and Li Jianhua naturally gave them some gifts.

The second aunt was extremely happy to see Xu Huizhen. Before Xu Huizhen could ask, she told her about the recent situation in the village. Finally, she talked about Xu Huizhi. She was not pitying Xu Huizhi, but said that Xu Huizhi should. The same He Yongqiang was ill.

That’s right too.

Li Jianhua was very happy after hearing this. He decided to give an extra fifty pounds of corn to his eldest brother the day after tomorrow. Then he said it was Sister Huizhen's wish and it was given to her second aunt.
