Chapter 53: Godson
Although Lin Ying said that it was a big deal, Wang Huiyan thought about it again and again and still did not agree to the proposal to let the children go to the provincial capital alone.
The purpose of going to the provincial capital is twofold. One is to cash out those jewelry and exchange them for money or grain. In these years, it is useless to have money, but it is really rich to have food.
The second is to get food.
Of course, Lin Ying said, going to the black market.
The black market has not been banned from ancient times to the present, and each era has its own characteristics. In this era, all that was bought and sold in the black market was grain.
They don't know where the black market is, but there is an uncle's family and an aunt's family in the provincial capital, and they can always inquire about it secretly.
However, when Wang Huiyan heard from the mouths of Lin Datou and Li Dongshan, the two children, how much grain each family had distributed this year, she immediately changed her mind, and went back to her mother-in-law's house with Xiaosi in her arms, listening to the old lady muttering while scaring Xiaosi, "I'm afraid it's hard to have a hard time this winter, or we have the foresight to ask Xiaoer and Erying to pick up so many autumn vegetables, with these vegetables, it is estimated that they can last until tomorrow when the spring wild vegetables will grow......" Then there was a heavy sigh.
Wang Huiyan knew that there would be a famine, but she didn't expect that each family would share such a small amount of food in a year: each family has 300 catties of bud rice sticks, how much grain can be left behind if the sticks are gone? Even if there are other miscellaneous things, I am afraid that this winter will not be easy.
Wang Huiyan went back with the child in the afternoon, "Mother, don't worry about food......
Before she could finish speaking, the old lady interrupted her, "We don't have to worry, we can eat without food, melons and potatoes, so don't worry about us." ”
Wang Huiyan is not like the original owner who is respectful and awe-inspiring to the old lady, through memory and the days when the old lady came after giving birth to the fourth child, she can see that the old lady is actually an old man with a knife mouth and a tofu heart.
Of course, there is partiality, and the thoughts of feudal parents are also there, but in general, it is not like the best of the daughters-in-law she has seen, and it is very good to several children, especially boys, so she still maintains a certain amount of goodwill towards the old lady.
Of course, it doesn't work if you don't have good intentions these years.
In addition to giving the old lady a little living expenses every month, they used to live together, and of course they ate together, and with their family's rations, the old lady couldn't go hungry, but this year it's hard to say.
Even if the old lady said this just now, Wang Huiyan couldn't watch the old man starve.
So after thinking about it, I decided to let a few children go to the provincial capital as Lin Ying said.
I stayed at the old lady's house for one night, and then went to the eldest brother's unit for a while, and then hurried back to the old lady with the child in my arms and drove back to the county in the afternoon.
It's not for nothing to go to the big brother.
She is the youngest in the family, there are three brothers and two sisters, the eldest sister's home is in the provincial capital, but the original owner Mu Ne, can't remember the address of the eldest sister, she asked from the eldest brother to come to the address where the eldest brother-in-law works, and is ready to send a telegram to the eldest sister's house to pick up the station.
As for the eldest brother's family, through memory, she has a bad relationship with the eldest aunt, so she doesn't plan to let the children pass.
There are some things, it is better not to leave a handle for people who have a bad relationship or have no guarantee of character.
But the eldest sister has always been very good to her, and the eldest brother-in-law is also very honest and kind, and the children raised are not very promising, but they are all good children, unlike the second nephew in the eldest brother's family, who is not very old and does not do his job, and feels a little second-rate.
I went to the power plant to open a letter of introduction, and then to the post office to send a telegram, so I sent the three children to the car and then to the train.
Don't worry about this part of the road, the bus terminal is where you lived two months ago from birth. When you get out of the car and close your eyes, you can find the train station.
They took the big meat buns they had just bought at the state-run restaurant opposite the train station, and when they waited for the train, they devoured them.
That eating appearance is even more wolf than a wolf.
Lin Ying is no exception.
It's their lunch.
If you usually don't have to go to a restaurant to buy it, you can't bring steamed potatoes to your child!
"It's so fragrant!" Li Yifeng felt as if it was the first time he had eaten such a delicious big meat bun, or white noodles, his mouth was stuffed full, and he made a grand wish: "When I grow up and earn a lot of money, I will eat big meat buns every day in the future." ”
Very good, very ambitious, didn't say eat lard bibimbap every day.
However, in this era, if anyone talks about making a lot of money, he will be despised, but fortunately he is a child, and only these two people can hear it.
Lin Jinghe said: "In the future, I must become a worker, so that my family can eat enough every day." ”
It's good, it's more ambitious, and she's really blessed to have such a big brother.
Lin Ying thought to herself, turned around and sold the jewelry, I don't know if it's enough to eat a few days?
She thought a little sadly: This is really a child's unpromising idea, and a few meat buns bought her?
Several children have actually been to the provincial capital, but Lin Ying has no impression, those two also went with adults, like this, only the children themselves, it is the first time in the world.
There weren't many people on the train.
Therefore, Lin Ying looked at the wooden benches on the green train in this era with a little excitement, while Lin Jinghe and Li Yifeng were a little nervous when they thought of the heavy responsibility on their shoulders, seeing that everyone looked like thieves, and covered their pockets tightly, for fear that others would not know that they had good things in their pockets.
Lin Ying retracted his gaze after looking, and saw that the two children had serious expressions, one hand covered the pocket of their clothes, although those things were divided among the three people for safety, and although those things were sewn into them by Wang Huiyan, the two stupid children still unconsciously covered their hands.
Lin Ying wanted to cover her face, where did she come from such a stupid child?
"Brothers, do you know what it means to have no silver three hundred taels here?" she whispered, "Relax, relax, the more nervous you are, the more suspicious others will be." Take it easy. ”
Lin Jinghe glanced at her and said in a low voice: "You sit among us, you are not safe like this." ”
Does it mean that she didn't cover her clothes and make a nervous look?
Lin Ying regretted a little, he knew that he had taken all the jewelry by himself, but would they stare at him stupidly all the way?
It is very possible to see the nervous appearance of these two children.
Lin Ying really wants to sigh, is it okay for me to have a window here?
After thinking about it, I changed places with him, and then lowered my voice and said in his ear: "Who would have thought that a child would have something in his pocket? There is one or two dollars in the sky, as for this? This is not to tell others: I am a fat sheep, come and slaughter me!"
Lin Jinghe pondered her words, and she told Li Yifeng again.
The two children were very smart, and after thinking about it, they took their hands away, and their expressions were not so tense.
Lin Ying breathed a sigh of relief.
If you go all the way to the provincial capital like just now, it is estimated that you will not be targeted by thieves, but you will also have to be remembered by thieves.
To go to the provincial capital to take more than six hours of train, when the departure of the time is not many people, but at this time the train is in addition to the 2 bus, the most commonly used means of transportation, along the way on the small station on the small station, the train runs ten minutes to stop for a minute, the road is also lively.
By the time the train arrived at the provincial capital, it was already past seven o'clock, and it was already dark.
Jiang Wenhai, the eldest cousin of the aunt's family, came to pick up a few of them.
"Big cousin, this is Li Yifeng, my mother's godson, who came with us. ”
