Zhang Cuihua looked back and saw her, her face was a little embarrassed, and she hurriedly helped the old man up, and this time the old man stood up.

"Auntie, get up quickly, don't kneel like this and tell my brother and sister to see jokes. ”

Is it her aunt? Qi Shufang observed carefully, the old woman's face was a little similar to Zhang Cuihua's, her eyes and nose were also quite similar, she smiled at her, and hurriedly said hello, the latter wiped her tears and smiled, the smile was a little bitter.

She knelt down for Zhang Cuihua, she must have something to ask for, and she still didn't want to make peace.

"Ah, my sister-in-law's family has come to relatives, so I'll go back first. This year, I planted some peanuts in my own plot, and I took a few catties over to give the three eggs and a few of them to eat. Placing the bamboo basket containing the peanuts on the table, Qi Shufang prepared to anoint the soles of her feet.

"What's so embarrassing about that? Take it back, it's not easy for you to plant something and collect something. "This is a peanut, the production team does not know how many years have not been sent, every year the peanuts are all sent to the supply and marketing cooperatives to support the construction of the country, often turned over several times in the peanut field occasionally left a few peanuts, who picked up who as a treasure, Zhang Cuihua visually measured at least ten catties of peanuts in the bamboo basket, and felt ashamed, but aunt was in front of her, it was inconvenient to thank Qi Shufang, "I will talk to you in a while." ”

Qi Shufang didn't think about bringing it back when she sent it, so she withdrew with a smile.

Zhang Cuihua saw her leave, turned her head and said angrily: "Okay, auntie, if I can't help you, I can't help you, I don't need you to kneel to beg me, it's useless to kneel, I'm afraid of losing my blessing." ”

"Cuihua, I'm not ......"

"I know you want to say that you are desperate now, you didn't mean to force me like this!" Zhang Cuihua interrupted her with a word, "However, there are only two people in our family, me and Jianjun, who earn work, and we have to take care of the food and drink of the five people, half of the eldest child eats the poor old man, and the three babies of my family have caught up with our two adults." The food distributed to us by the production team is carefully calculated every day, and we don't dare to eat more at a meal, so we have to survive for half a year and half a year, how can I have any surplus food for you?"

The more Zhang Cuihua talked, the more angry she became, why did one or two take advantage of the production team to borrow grain?

It's really speechless.

Zhang Cuihua deliberately did not mention that the three children also have ration standards, the largest big egg is 180 catties, and the youngest third egg is 120 catties, but the cost has to be deducted from her and He Jianjun's work.

Aunt Zhang wiped away a handful of tears and begged: "Our family has no food now!"

Qi Shufang didn't go far outside, she heard this by hearing, how could she not understand what Aunt Zhang wanted, it turned out that she was here to borrow food, it seemed that she had the same idea as Wang Chunling, no wonder Zhang Cuihua's face was very ugly.

When it comes to food rations, few people are willing to sacrifice themselves.

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, it turns out that there is not only one person who has this trouble, Qi Shufang is psychologically balanced, she has always thought that she does not know how to restrain herself, so some people hate the rich.

Zhang Cuihua, who faced her aunt's crying and begging, was very irritable.

"It's only been a few days since August, and your family's supply of grain is gone? Don't think that I don't know that the people in the city have supplies every month, and food stamps are issued at the beginning of every month! Aren't you quite proud before? Why did you come to beg me? Your family of seven, with the supply of seven people, and more than 100 catties of grain a month, why can't you survive?"

"In order to give your sixth brother a bride price for his daughter-in-law, the rations were sold on the black market. Aunt Zhang lowered her head.

Zhang Cuihua sneered: "My family's rations have been sold at a high price, come and ask us to borrow food, you can do it, you can say it, I don't have the face to listen! Don't borrow! Don't borrow! Don't borrow!" pushed her out of the hall door. She thought that her aunt's family was in trouble, and she was out of cooking for a while, and planned to lend her twenty catties of potatoes for the sake of relatives, but who knew that it was to marry a daughter-in-law. If they don't cherish food, why should they help? Money, is money precious as food? Can money be eaten? Do they do this for money, they deserve to starve!

"How can you blame us? Your younger brother and sister work in a state-run hotel, if we don't agree to give the bride price, if we don't hurry up and settle the marriage, where will Ming'er marry your sixth brother a wife with such a good job?" Aunt Zhang was right.

"Ouch, that's amazing!"

"Cuihua, do you want to watch our family starve to death?" Aunt Zhang was very sad and angry, and her voice was amplified.

"Auntie, my aunt, my aunt, do you want to watch our family starve to death?" Zhang Cuihua slapped her thigh, and her voice was sharp and loud to beat Aunt Zhang, "I am an old peasant facing the loess with his back to the sky, I can't compare to you city people to eat commercial grain, I eat all year round with those few jobs, so how can I feed your family? I don't have the ability! If the food is given to you, our family of five will starve to death!"

People, they love to watch the excitement, and when they came out, they heard that they were here to borrow food, and they all understood Zhang Cuihua very well, and they were sympathetic.

If you want to say what the people are most afraid of, they are most afraid of this kind of thing happening in front of them, the front foot has just sent food, and the back foot people come to borrow, and if they don't borrow it, their reputation will be ruined, and if they can't borrow it, they will have to go hungry.

Zhang Cuihua has a pungent personality, she sprinkles and splashes, no one in the entire production team can compare, some people used to say that He Jianjun is not good, she chased the man and scolded for three days, and the person scolded her now and hides when she sees her. In order to keep the family's rations, a mouth is like a machine gun, and Aunt Zhang ran away, without any awareness of respecting the old and loving the young.

"If I were conscious, my baby would starve, and I would have to be ruthless. Zhang Cuihua said to Qi Shufang, "This kind of thing can't start, once there is a second time, and it will not stop for a lifetime." ”

Qi Shufang agreed, she had already heard Zhang Cuihua tell her about the reason why Aunt Zhang came to borrow grain.

Others secretly go to the black market to buy high-priced grain, but they are good, they sell the grain for money, and now they are starving and obviously asking for themselves.

So, Qi Shufang nodded vigorously.

Zhang Cuihua was amused by her instead: "However, I have also thought about it, the rations sold by my aunt are estimated to be for her and her uncle, and there may be six cousins, but the rations of the eldest cousin's family of four must not be up to her, and my eldest cousin is as fine as a monkey, so I am afraid that my in-laws will use their subsidies to be small." So, they can't starve!"

"Second sister-in-law, how many cousins does your aunt's family have? Every time you marry a daughter-in-law, you have to sell grain?" Thinking of her own family, Qi Shufang is embarrassed to say that others, others don't seem to be as good as her parents.

"How can it, my eldest cousin got married, and he didn't spend a dime, and the object introduced by the cadres in the factory was thirty catties of cornmeal. The two are dual-income workers, with two children under their knees, the burden is not heavy, and life must be good. People are afraid that the countrymen will come to the door to fight the autumn wind, so they don't associate with their relatives in the countryside, and I can't remember how many years I haven't seen them. If it weren't for the grain distribution, I guess I wouldn't have seen my aunt in front of me for another three years. This is also one of the reasons why Zhang Cuihua is reluctant to borrow food, she still remembers the cold reception she received when she went back to their house for the first time, and she actually had the face to borrow food.

Zhang Cuihua has no feelings for their family at all.

Qi Shufang was speechless, the eldest son and his wife were both workers, how could they be reduced to the point of selling grain? There must be a reason for this.

Everyone cherishes food very much, and attaches far more importance to food than banknotes, rather than asking Aunt Zhang's family for money as a bride price, it is better to directly ask for the grain that has been sold for money.

Look, she sent twenty catties of peanuts to the Huo family, and their joy was far higher than when she sent cakes and handkerchiefs.

The peanut seeds that Huo Jianfeng got for them are now harvested, no matter what, they have to give them a little peanut, the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law can get ten catties of peanuts for nothing, how can the Huo family have less?

"How are you doing?" asked Old Man Huo with concern.

"It's good, three days of work and three days of rest, in addition to salary, there are allowances every month, and there is plenty of food. Knowing that I didn't have a house in the city, and the railway bureau didn't have extra dormitories for me to live in, I commuted by bicycle every time, so I paid my salary this month and paid an extra two yuan for a bicycle subsidy. "In addition to the health fee and allowance, there is one more subsidy on the payroll!

The work pay is so good, you can't blame everyone for wanting to break their heads and work in the city.

"It's okay if you think it's good, it's okay if you think it's good, and I'm relieved to hear it. ”

Old man Huo nodded vigorously, putting aside the topic, "You just said that the bicycles are stored in the conductor's house?"

"Hmm. During this time, she was busy harvesting crops, and she did not have time to look for a house, so she deposited her bicycle at Sister Wang's house every time and again, and in order to show her gratitude, Sister Wang's family was allowed to use her bicycle with pity. The human touch between people is very strong, and Sister Wang blames her for being too polite, and has been ordering her family not to use it casually, for fear that it will be bad for her.

Qi Shufang plans to pack a pound of peanuts for them when she stores her bicycle before work tomorrow.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly pointed to another bag of peanuts he brought, "Uncle, that bag is two catties of peanuts, please bring it to Director Wu to taste, I won't go in person, it won't look good." ”

Director Wu is the immediate boss of his boss, and he has to build a good relationship.

Smiled and agreed, Old Man Huo was very satisfied with her sophistication, if you want to mix well, you still have to have a lot of ways, if there is no benefit, who will take the risk to open the back door? He is in charge of the grain management office, and he has met people from all walks of life by relying on food, otherwise he will not be able to arrange work for his daughter-in-law and Qi Shufang smoothly.

"I'll talk to Xiao Wu and ask him to find a way to arrange a dormitory for you, or I'll ask someone to see if I can rent a house, and I can't go in the wind and rain for three days. Old man Huo thought about the people in Gupeng City's housing management who didn't know him.

Zhou Guohong came back from shopping and talked to people outside the door, the laughter was very loud, Qi Shufang and Old Man Huo heard it clearly in the house.

When she entered the house and saw Qi Shufang, Zhou Guohong was stunned for a moment, and realized that she was a little rude, so she hurriedly greeted her, her attitude was not cold, but she was not particularly affectionate, but when she saw twenty catties of peanuts and learned that it was sent by Qi Shufang, she immediately made a 180-degree turn, poured tea and water, and was very attentive.

Old man Huo shook his head and sighed in his heart, his daughter-in-law is beautiful, but she is a little childish.

"What were you laughing at outside? I heard it before I even entered the door. ”

Hearing his father-in-law's inquiry, Zhou Guohong couldn't help but smile again: "It's the two of Xiaolin's family from the state-run hotel, and they said that Xiaolin is their daughter and wants to take Xiaolin home." ”

"What's going on?" Old Man Huo frowned. Lao Lin is his friend, because his wife broke her body when she was young and couldn't live, he refused to divorce, and fell out with his family for this matter, and later adopted a girl who was almost drowned from the countryside, named Lin Xuan, and watched her grow up, although there were some bad habits, but everyone was like this, and she couldn't be seen.

Lin Xuan's biological parents came to the door? Old man Huo couldn't sit still.

He went to support his old friend, and Zhou Guohong asked Qi Shufang to join in the fun.

When they arrived, Qi Shufang was dumbfounded, weren't the two who made trouble Uncle He Qi and Aunt He Qi? Why did they get to the door of someone else's house? They kept saying that it was the girl who was their own daughter who was supporting a thin middle-aged man, with a whirring duck egg face, combing two braids, and wearing a light green plaid shirt, wasn't it the waitress of a state-run hotel?

No wonder she felt familiar when she looked at her for the first time, Qi Shufang only remembered now that He Jiuya had the same face shape and eyebrows as her!

It's work time, but there are a lot of people who don't have jobs, and they all come to see the excitement.

"Seven, seven, my flesh! My heart is wow! How can you deny me?"

Aunt He Qi howled in her throat, a few days ago her daughter-in-law was greedy for meat, she walked two hours to the county seat, went to the state-run restaurant to buy a meat dish and put it in a lunch box, didn't use the ticket, turned her head and saw a girl who looked familiar, looked like herself if she looked closely, and there was a small black mole hidden in the left eyebrow!

It doesn't matter if she looks alike, but she has a small black mole, that's her daughter!

She really didn't expect that the daughter she sent out would mix so well, a waitress in a state-run hotel, with a salary and food every month! How good would it be if this job was given to her son? When she grew up so old and didn't get married, she could bring it home and earn a bride price for her son to subsidize her son. Aunt He Qiqi immediately couldn't sit still, pulled her husband together, and observed it nearby for two days, making sure that Father Lin was the one who raised Qiya at the beginning, and he came to recognize his relatives today.

"Qiya, my heart and liver baby, I was so poor that I couldn't eat before I gave you away, I wanted you to eat the finished grain to live a good life, you don't have to suffer with me, but my heart is like a knife, I miss you during the day, I miss you at night, and the tears that come out can be taken into a tank! Under the leadership of the country, my family's life is better now, I have eaten enough, you go with my family, our family can be reunited, and I no longer have to be separated from your flesh and blood. ”

Aunt He Qi burst into tears, telling that it was a sincere feeling, many onlookers were sympathetic, some had red eyes, some shed tears, and now life is tight, not to mention ten years ago or twenty years ago.

"Lao Lin, how touching, you can reunite them as a family. ”

"Yes, the most tragic thing in the world is the separation of flesh and blood, and the mother and daughter can still meet after being separated for 20 years, which shows that their mother and daughter have fate and should recognize each other. ”

"Recognize it at a glance, what a mother's love this is, only mother's love will make her recognize her daughter at first sight!"

Father Lin was so angry that he trembled, at first he didn't admit that his daughter was adopted, but Aunt He Qi said the birthmark on Lin Xuan's body that many people had seen, and he knew that there was no way to fool him, but even if he admitted it, he couldn't let the other party talk about it.

That year, I went to climb the mountain, but I got lost in their village, which was Helou Village at that time, and later changed to Helou Production Brigade. I happened to run into her scolding and scolding, and she wanted to drown her daughter in the river, I couldn't bear it, and decided to adopt this child, and she extorted me 200,000 yuan!"
