"Lao Zhou, it's me, open the door, I'll send something to your house, it's sent to your grandchildren from the north."

The old branch secretary responded slowly, and the next moment, the door opened from the inside, and then the old man Zhou came to the door with a kerosene lamp: "Come in, come in and sit." ”

Invite the old branch secretary and the old secretary into the house, and the old man Zhou put the kerosene lamp in his hand back on the square table against the wall.

Zhou Mingchen and his brothers got off the kang and politely said hello to the old branch secretary.

"Seeing that the New Year is coming, the two people to the north are very hearted, in order to avoid your grandparents and grandchildren being nervous about the New Year, no, I sent you two big packages."

Pointing to the package that his youngest son put on the ground casually, the old branch secretary said: "Xiangbei Nawa and his daughter-in-law are both good, they can be secretly taken care of by them, and your grandson is also a blessed one, live a good life, this world will change sooner or later." ”

Hearing this, Old Man Zhou wiped the corners of his eyes: "Yes, our grandson is indeed blessed, if it weren't for the two people from the north to help us in the past two years, our grandfather is afraid that it would be difficult for us to live to this day." As for the way of the world, whether it changes or does not change, the days must go on, otherwise, we are first sorry for the hard work of the two people to the north. ”

"Okay, don't be sad, it's not too early, Dongsheng and I won't stay at your house longer, you should rest early."

Saying that, the old branch secretary said goodbye to Old Man Zhou, and turned around and walked out of Zhou's house with his youngest son.

"Grandpa, look ......"

Zhou Mingchuan pointed to the package that his brother opened and shouted to Mr. Zhou: "There is rice, flour, oil, and cotton shoes and new clothes." ”

"The cotton clothes and shoes that your aunt gave us before the Chinese New Year can still be worn, why do you send us cotton shoes and clothes this year?"

Old Man Zhou took out the contents of the package, asked Zhou Mingchen to put it away properly, and then put it away properly, and said: "Your aunt really has a heart, and we have lived a smoother life in the past two years than the people in this village." ”

It's hard to buy things like rice, flour and oil, that is, the fabric used to make clothes, as well as white sugar, brown sugar, non-staple foods, and malt cream, which are also difficult to buy, but those two kind-hearted babies are helping them quietly, and this kindness is difficult to return!

"My aunt and uncle are so good to us, grandpa, I will study hard with my brother, and when we have the ability, we will repay my aunt and Uncle Xiangbei."

Zhou Mingchuan is now speaking very neatly, watching his grandfather quickly hide the things in the package, he pursed his lips and said extremely firmly: "I will learn great skills in the future, and I will make a lot of money, and then I will buy more and more good things for my aunt." ”

"Okay, let's learn a lot of skills and make a lot of money, and buy good things for your aunt."

Old Man Zhou touched the little grandson's head with satisfaction, and explained to the eldest grandson: "Tomorrow, you will go to the county, as before, the white flour rice will be left for our family to leave two catties, and the rest will be replaced with coarse grains." Zhou Mingchen nodded.

"I went to the supply and marketing cooperative, and when people asked, they still said that they were sent by relatives." Old Man Zhou advised.

Zhou Mingchen nodded again.

He will go to the county, but he will not go to the county supply and marketing cooperatives to exchange, but to the black market and people to exchange, so that he can exchange more coarse grain than the supply and marketing cooperatives.

The danger of the black market is certain, but he will be more careful.

"You can't go to the black market." Old Man Zhou suddenly added.

Zhou Mingchen was stunned, and then said "um". As long as people are smart, there is nothing to be afraid of going to the black market.
