What are you busy with?

I am also busy studying.

Urban residents need to know 1,500 Chinese characters, be able to read books and newspapers, and be able to write some IOUs, receipts and other receipts.

Chang Qiuyun can be considered a city resident, so she must learn.

The fourth master heard that his mother-in-law had some objections, and seemed a little unhappy about not sending the child to Lin's house. So he chose to send the child there on weekends, and asked the child to play at Lin's house for a day before picking him up. Sometimes he didn't care.

If she picked her up, she wouldn't pick her up anymore. Her aunt would take her to the nursery in the morning, and the fourth master could just take her home directly from the nursery in the evening.

This makes Sister-in-law Guilan Miao very envious. She said that it is good to have her mother's family by her side, and the children can be taken care of. Chang Qiuyun is a good person among good people in everyone's eyes. Xiaoxing's family's aid to China has been left in the Lin family for a long time.

Yes, they don’t have to worry about the children. How relaxed this young couple is. Who wouldn’t envy them.

Even Zhuang Tingting is envious. Her family is also in the provincial capital. But her parents are looking after their own grandson, and no one is looking after her grandson.

If the children are small, we will take turns. Today you stay and take care of the children in the building, and tomorrow she will stay and take care of them. It's like being on duty.

But what did you say? Who can take care of you? It’s not as reassuring as having your own grandparents taking care of you, right?

This morning, we had breakfast. The fourth master sent Danyang to the nursery and took a step ahead. Lin Yutong packed up the dishes and then went to work.

As a result, Tiedan ran back panting just after putting away the pots and dishes.

Lin Yutong was startled and asked the child: "What's wrong? What did you forget? Your parents have gone to work. Tell your aunt what you want..."

"No!" Tiedan gasped: "My dad asked me to run back and tell my aunt that someone is coming at the factory gate. They are from my hometown... I asked you to go over and take a look..."

From your hometown?

Who!

It shouldn't be Li Yuefen! Otherwise, Miao Jiafu and Tiedan must have known each other.

She took out a few candies and gave them to Tiedan: "I asked you to run away. Hurry up and go to school. I'll lock the door and be there right away."

Tiedan ran out, telling Lin Yutong all the way: "The road is slippery, Auntie, don't be anxious, walk slowly. My dad invited someone to sit in the concierge..."

Lin Yutong responded, took the key and went out.

When she arrived at the concierge, she saw her bicycle propped outside. She was afraid that the fourth master had bumped into him when he was returning from sending his children. As soon as she opened the door and entered, she saw the third child and a young man standing behind him.

Little daughter-in-law.

This daughter-in-law is quite generous. When she met Lin Yutong, she immediately said, "I am Liao's aunt. I am Liao's mother."

oh!

"Third sister-in-law." Lin Yutong called out and looked at the fourth master.

Before the fourth master could say anything, the third son's newly married daughter-in-law said again: "...I heard that it's hard to buy food in the city, so I thought about it. There is still food at home, although it's not delicious.

But it's better than nothing." She pointed to the stand truck outside, "Your third brother and I came out of the house last night..."

There was a cart full of things, packed in sacks and tied up with ropes. Look, it weighed one or two thousand kilograms.

And it's not difficult to guess. You can guess it by just looking at the shape through the sack. It's a sweet potato.

What can I do if I don’t reach out and hit the smiling person?

Let's go home first and then talk about it.

Pull the car back and put it at the door of the building. No one needs to look at it, and no one touches it.

Lin Yutong cooked a large pot of dried noodles, and the baby spinach he grew at home, which was placed in the noodles with a shiny green color. When the sauce and pork sauerkraut was poured on it, it was a rare delicacy.

The third child snored while eating, but the Liu Lingdang woman became shy again and smiled sheepishly at Lin Yutong: "Just eat something simple. This good thing should be reserved for the children." With that, she started to eat.

He took out the bag he was carrying and said, "These are the shoes I made for our daughter. I don't know if they are suitable or not..."

It was worn by a child aged four or five. It must be too big now, but it will become more suitable as the child grows older.

When it comes to making clothes, shoes and socks for children, they would rather be big than small. This person still put some thought into it.

Lin Yutong answered: "Very good."

It can be seen that the person I marry later is much smarter than the Gao Xiulan I married before.

Sure enough, they just finished their meal and said, "We don't have to stay much longer. We can get back home before dark. The team is quite busy. We can't keep delaying our work..." and pointed again.

In the house, "Where can I unload these sweet potatoes? If they can't fit in, I'll see if I can put them over there with my parents-in-law. I heard my mother said there's a lot of room there."

It can be seen that it was given sincerely.

Can Lin Yutong accept it with peace of mind?

I just told you to carry a bag and put it at home, but what about the rest?

Lin Yutong said: "I think there is no shortage of sweet potatoes at home. The food supply is definitely not that abundant. The rest is not good. Do you think this is okay? Let's exchange sweet potatoes for food with others..."

Can someone replace this?

How come no one changed it?

For families with many children, as long as they can fill their bellies.

One pound of whole grains is exchanged for five pounds of sweet potatoes, one pound of black flour is exchanged for seven pounds, and one pound of white flour is exchanged for ten pounds. No need to leave the factory, Lin Yutong shouted, all these people who worked the night shift last night and just took a break today are up.

Zhuang Tingting also came out and gave her mother's family a change.

In less than an hour, two bags of grain and half a bag of flour were exchanged.

Liu Lingdang insisted on keeping half the bag of flour: "If you don't keep it, I won't have the nerve to come back next time." Then regardless of the situation, he left the bag of flour and urged the third child to pull the cart.

The couple walked away as if someone was chasing them.

After leaving the factory, Liu Lingdang got directly onto the truck and asked a man to pull it. She said to him: "You are just stubborn. You will do whatever your mother says! You are your brother-in-law's biological mother, and you can't change it at any time. As a child, you can't change it."

You can't really have anything to do with your parents. Even if your parents are bad, your brother-in-law will not look at them and ignore them. But who are you? You are my brother! You have not shown any affection to others, so why should people care about you?

I care about you? People can't ignore their parents, but they can ignore you! In this life, you can't live more and more alone. If you don't associate with anyone, your life will be easier? What if you encounter a bumpy road?

There's no one around." He said, "Take a detour when you go back."

"Going to your parents' house?" the third child asked in a sullen voice.

"Why are you going to my mother's house?" Liu Lingdang wished she could kick her in the back, "They sold me for such a good price, I can afford them. I mean, I'm passing by your two sisters' house.

A family pours out half a bag of grain. It means something."

So willing!

The third child felt distressed: "What should I do if my mother asks me when I get home?"

"What should I do?" Liu Lingdang really kicked him this time: "Why don't you just say it! You are so stubborn. Those nieces and nephews of yours have paid tribute to your mother, and you, as an uncle, are here to support me.

Nephew, what's the matter? I'll send a bag of sweet potatoes to my family during the Chinese New Year..."

The third child looked at her and said, "My mother said you have a bad heart... I didn't expect that your heart is quite kind."

A trace of ridicule flashed in Liu Lingdang's eyes. Her mother-in-law looked at the bumps as if they were eyeballs, as if she, the stepmother, was going to harm her grandson when she entered the house. She was guarding herself as much as she was guarding against thieves. She always held on to her men.

He muttered and said nothing good. As for the third child, as long as his mother drags him to finish talking, he will definitely not look good on himself at night.

Can we live like this?

Definitely not!

My mother-in-law can do this and that at home, so what can she do? Isn’t it just that she has the food and money given by her younger son? With these subsidies, life is easy for the family. Therefore, everyone has to live by her face.

But after watching it for half a year, she also understood it.

As a mother, it was only natural that she only wanted to take care of her son, but she never thought of giving him anything.

She feeds two pigs and a dozen chickens at home. As she said before, she doesn’t need to send all the eggs to the supply and marketing cooperative. She can keep some at home, save them for a while, and send them to the city. Her brother-in-law in the city also has children. Children.

If they want to eat eggs, they have to buy eggs from their own chickens. What can they do if they give their children a basket? Will they ask them to come back empty-handed? Just give them anything and it will be enough for eggs. You think of him, he

Thinking about you makes us feel like a family. When the Chinese New Year comes, leave a pig leg and give it to...

But what happened? My mother-in-law yelled at me at home.

I have saved eggs, a big basket of them, but they are reserved for the pigs to eat. Chickens don’t lay eggs in winter, so they have to save them in advance, which is not good, because no one wants to touch them. As for the pigs, only one is sold.

One pig is left to be used as smoked pork, but no one gives it to anyone. It is reserved for the pig to eat in the second year. A pig has to be eaten for a year, so how can there be any extra for others?

My family is planting sweet potatoes on the field this year, and they have a bumper harvest. My mother-in-law said that since all the sweet potatoes have been harvested, there will be no food left to feed the pigs, so the pigs will definitely grow well.

Feeding pigs?

What pigs to feed?

I can’t spend a penny of the money from selling the pigs. If you don’t give me a bite of the pork left behind, why should I feed the pigs?

Stop feeding it! I'll keep it to give away, but I won't keep it for her.

I heard that food was in short supply in the city, so people began to eat wheat with pebbles. But the white rice and thin noodles that my uncle sent to my parents back home were all of good quality. This made Liu Lingdang feel particularly uncomfortable. He said

The third child: "Maybe the couple saved that food, but you can still eat it!"

The third child couldn't swallow it anymore, so he went to find his father-in-law, and then he decided to bring a cart of sweet potatoes into the city.

Who would have thought that they would not confiscate it at all, and even help me get food back in exchange for it.
