Chapter 35 Uncle Han gave me a dime and seven cents
"Grandpa Hu sent it back?"
"Well, I sent it back, Grandma Hu wanted to give me money, but I didn't ask for it, I was delayed there for a long time, and I didn't see you divide the meat. β
"You girl, is there anything nice about dividing meat? Hanpi smiled bitterly, and then something sounded again, and hurriedly asked Chen Xiao: "By the way, did you send the rice noodles that you sent to Grandpa Hu's house two days ago?"
"I sent it over, and I sent it after you finished speaking, ten catties of rice and ten catties of white flour. β
"Well! With these few catties of meat, Grandpa Hu and Grandma Hu can have a good year. Hanpi smiled, who has difficulties to help, Hanpi himself is also comfortable.
"Alas, what Chen Xiao sent over, he asked Grandpa Hu to give half of it to others when he turned around. Jiao Huixue said next to her.
"What! Half for someone else? Not for your family, right?"
This point is too clear, if you want to say that the most difficult thing in this courtyard, that is Jiao Huixue's family, one person works, and six people have to be raised, not to mention eating white flour steamed buns, even if you can't eat enough every day.
Although Grandpa Hu's family is also difficult, at least Wowotou can eat enough, and from time to time he can help a little more, and he can also eat some fine grains.
"Well, my mother-in-law accepted it, I don't know at all, otherwise I wouldn't have said anything. Jiao Huixue nodded, admitting it.
There is no need to think about this, except for Jiao Huixue's mother-in-law, no one will ask for the things of the two old people, even if the four masters love to be greedy and cheap, they will not want it, if you want to say that Jiao Huixue's family is now, not to mention that you can eat white-flour steamed buns for a meal, there is no problem with eating it several times a week, but her mother-in-law seems to never have enough to eat.
I even want the things of the two old people, this is really impossible to say, Grandpa Hu is kind-hearted, and he will give it to you when he sees that you are not having a good time, but you are much better now, at least you will not be hungry, how can you still ask for it.
"I see. Hanpi nodded, turned back to Chen Xiao and said, "What will you give to Grandpa Hu next time, I will send five catties at a time, and I will send it after eating." β
"I know, brother, but our family's food has been used too much, if it weren't for Director Wang of the supply and marketing cooperative, we wouldn't even be able to buy food. Chen Xiao showed a hint of helplessness.
My brother is good everywhere, but he doesn't pay much attention to things at home, especially in terms of food, he never goes to the supply and marketing cooperative, he buys things by himself, and he doesn't seem to know that food is also rationed.
This really made Chen Xiao right, Han Pi really didn't know, he always thought that as long as there were food stamps, as long as there was money, he could buy food, how could he know that there was still such a thing as food.
In a planned economy, everything is planned, and it is right to have food stamps, but there is also a ration, and it is useless to have food stamps if you exceed the quota, unless you take the food stamps and go out to eat.
"Ahh
"Tell you that it's useful, you shouldn't give it to others. Chen Xiao muttered.
"Oh, you girl, if you told my brother earlier, my brother would have tried to get some food, and you wouldn't have to go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy it, how could it be useless. β
"Oh, yes, how did I forget that. Chen Xiao patted his head.
"Okay, brother knows now, you don't have to worry about it in the future, brother grain will get it for you, isn't it just a little food, this can be difficult for your brother." β
This naΓ―ve is not wrong at all, where there is more food, of course it is the countryside, the countryside is to grow food, and there is no need for this, not to mention a few hundred catties of grain, even a few thousand catties is not a problem.
"Okay, you two brothers and sisters talk first, I should go, or it will be dark when I get there. Jiao Huixue tied up the pork, and then said to the two siblings.
"Okay, Sister Huixue, you can go. β
"By the way, Chen Xiao, Xiaoyu and Xiaoqin are playing with other children outside the yard, you can go over and take a look later. β
"Knowing Sister Huixue, I'll call them back in a while. β
It's the New Year, it's very lively outside, you can hear the sound of "bang" everywhere, it's some children who have nothing to do, buy a hanging firecracker, disassemble it one by one, which does add some New Year's flavor.
If it weren't for these movements, there would be no difference from usual, but the children were happy, and the adults were worried one by one, they couldn't work during the New Year, they couldn't work, they had no money, and they didn't have money to eat.
"Xiaoyu Xiaoqin has gone home. β
Hanpi came to the outside of the courtyard and saw that the two girls were watching others set off firecrackers, so he shouted, he didn't let Chen Xiao come out, he came out by himself.
"Uncle Han, give me a dime and seven cents. β
Xiaoyu ran to Hanpi's side, hugged Hanpi's leg and said.
"What do you want a dime or seven cents for?" Hanpi squatted down and looked at Xiaoyu.
"I want to buy firecrackers. β
"Will you buy firecrackers?"
"Yes, Aunt Chen Xiao bought it for us last time, and we put it ourselves. β
"Shout, you little girl, you don't dare to set off firecrackers. Hanpi rubbed Xiaoyu's head, turned back to Xiaoqin next to him and said, "You also want firecrackers?"
"I don't want to. Xiaoqin shook her head.
"Look, look at my sister and look at you again, you said that the two of you were born by the same mother, and they are just a few minutes apart, and they look exactly the same, why are your personalities so bad, one is quiet, and the other is extroverted. β
"Uncle Han, you have to ask my mother about this, I don't know. β
"Ugh!"
Xiaoyu's words, almost didn't give the fool a head, what people said is right, how do people know.
"Okay, okay, isn't it just firecrackers, it just so happens that Uncle Han is also going to buy firecrackers, let's go." β
Hanpi also asked my sister to know that she hadn't bought firecrackers this year, and generally this kind of buying things has always been Chen Xiao's job, and Hanpi never cared about it, but Chen Xiao, the girl, has never been concerned about firecrackers or anything, so she forgot about it.
When I came to the supply and marketing cooperative, I bought it all, what wine, cigarettes, firecrackers, peanuts do not need to be bought, I have a lot of them here, I want to buy some melon seeds, and there are snacks.
I don't smoke, but I still have to buy some for the New Year, and I don't smoke others, so I have to prepare some.
"Brother, did you move the supply and marketing cooperatives back?"
After returning home, Hanpi inevitably asked Chen Xiao to give a meal, Chen Xiao often went to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy things, but they were all bought little by little, who was like Hanpi, big bags and small bags, carried on their backs, and the other two little girls also hugged a lot.
"Isn't this a New Year, my brother thinks I'll buy more. β
"Then you can't buy so much, so many things, even if you give fifteen, you can't eat them all. β
Chen Xiao was so angry in his heart, he vowed never to let his brother buy things in the future, his brother, it was okay to make money, but it was not okay to buy things.
