"Okay uncle, then it's troublesome Brother Baogang."

Su Xue replied obediently.

Su Dafang waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay, let's go quickly." Xiaolong, you take your sister to the supply and marketing cooperative, there are many people in the supply and marketing cooperative, you have to take care of your sister and don't run around. Su Dafang instructed uneasily.

In his eyes, Su Xue is still a child.

Su Xiaolong nodded, Su Xue bent down and said to Su Bao'er, who had never made trouble, "Bao'er, goodbye to uncle and public security comrades." ”

Su Bao'er raised her little hand and waved goodbye obediently.

"Bao'er is so good."

Not only Su Dafang, but even Li Dazhi felt that Su Baoer was really well-behaved. If there is such a daughter, the old father's heart will definitely be melted by her......

The three sisters and brothers walked out of the police station and walked to the supply and marketing cooperative. Although Su Dafang said that he would let Su Xiaolong lead the way for Su Xue, there was only one street in this town, and as long as Su Xue was not stupid, he could see the big wooden sign hanging outside the red-roofed tiled house in the distance.

'Hongqi Town Supply and Marketing Cooperative. ’

On this long street, there are no shops or anything other than the supply and marketing cooperatives, and there are only those conspicuous characters painted on the walls except for the closed doors of every house.

are all quotations of some great people, Su Xue once recited them in their entirety when she was in school, so she is not unfamiliar.

She pulled Su Bao'er and walked side by side with Su Xiaolong to the gate of the supply and marketing cooperative. She inadvertently caught a glimpse of Su Xiaolong's slightly wrinkled, little old man-like face.

Su Xue was a little funny: "What's wrong?" Worried I didn't have any money? ”

Su Xiaolong pursed the corners of his lips, his face a little serious. He wasn't worried that Su Xue had no money, he felt that he had no money and was embarrassed.

Now Su Xiaolong only has two yuan and eight cents on his body, which he saved from the New Year's money he got from his parents and relatives during the Chinese New Year.

Su Xiaolong, who had already taken the initiative to regard himself as the pillar of his family, felt that their home lacked everything now, and two yuan and eight cents could not buy anything.

Although Su Xue is their own sister, she has never eaten a grain of rice at home since she was a child, and she has never taken a dime from the family, but after Su Baozhu rolled up their money and ran away, she came back without the slightest complaint and took on the responsibility of a sister......

She cleverly asked for the land back, and also drew a line with her grandparents and uncle, if it was Su Baozhu's woman, she would never do this.

Although she clamored to clean up Su Xiaohu and dislike them for being dirty, there was no heartfelt disgust in her eyes like Su Baozhu's woman.

She seemed to be doing good for them.

Is this the difference between a real sister and a fake sister?

"I said you weren't old, but you thought a lot." Su Xue smiled and rubbed Su Xiaolong's short head, "Don't worry, sister, I still have money." ”

Even if she doesn't have much money in her hand now, the conditions of their family are miserable to the naked eye, but Su Xue has never been the kind of person who feels sorry for herself.

Her adoptive parents' grandfather taught her since she was a child that as long as people live, there is hope, and Su Xue firmly believes that this is indeed the case.

"The book also says that there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, so you don't have to worry too much in advance."

"The sky won't fall."

Su Xiaolong didn't expect what he was thinking to be guessed by Su Xue, he raised his head and looked at this sister who looked a little like his mother, but always had confidence on her face.

At this moment, he seemed to see the sunshine in Su Xue's smile.

"Sister......

The mouth subconsciously screamed.

Su Xue agreed crisply, "Hurry up, I'll have to walk back to clean up the house in a while!" ”

After speaking, she picked up Su Baoer and crossed the threshold into the supply and marketing cooperative, and began her purchase.

The food tank in their house was so empty that the rats didn't want to patronize it, so the first thing they bought must be grain. Fortunately, this is a large grain-producing province, and rice is available, and the price is fair, one dime and five pounds.

Su Xue waved her hand and bought thirty catties at once.

When the salesperson of the supply and marketing cooperatives heard the number she quoted, he raised his head and looked at her in surprise, and saw Su Xue, who was delicate and fair, and did not look like a person from the village, Zhang Qingtian asked more.

"Comrade, this is bought for relatives?"

Since the resumption of the college entrance examination last year, the phenomenon of buying things with tickets has been relatively rare. In Hongqi Town, there is no quota for food, except for some relatively rare things such as soap, which have a fixed amount per person to buy.

Because the underground villages are producing, as soon as the summer harvest is over, many villagers will sell the idle grain at home to the supply and marketing cooperatives, and the supply and marketing cooperatives are not short of grain.

Zhang Qingtian was surprised, it seems that it is only two or three months before the summer harvest, and when the summer harvest is over, every household will not be short of grain, how can this female comrade in front of him buy so much grain?

Even if you buy it for relatives, you can't buy it like this.

Too much money and nowhere to spend?

"This lesbian ......"

Zhang Qingtian planned to talk to Su Xue well, but Su Xue blinked, "What's wrong?" Is it a limited purchase? ”

"No, comrade, that's right. Although the money is your own, I want to say that the summer grain will come down in a few months, and you can buy 30 catties of rice at once, is it a bit much? ”

She knew that many people were already green and yellow at this time, but most people ate some wild vegetables and sweet potatoes to deal with it, and then raised it after the summer harvest.

No one is as big as Su Xue.

After listening to Zhang Qingtian's words, Su Xue knew that the other party did not sell rice to her, but felt that she was spending a bit lavishly. She sighed, picked up Su Bao'er, and pointed to Su Xiaolong on the side.

"There's no way, my parents are gone, and my younger brothers and sisters are still very young, so I have to need food to raise them."

Zhang Qingtian saw that Su Baozhu was indeed relatively thin, and Su Xiaolong was also as thin as a bamboo pole, she said with some sadness, "Why don't you buy some cheap brown rice?" That only costs a few cents a pound, cheap, two handfuls of brown rice and two handfuls of wild vegetables can be cooked together, and you can deal with a meal. ”

"Brown rice?" Su Xue repeated Zhang Qingtian's words suspiciously.

"You wait." After Zhang Qingtian finished speaking, he turned around and left the counter, and after a while, he retrieved a small bag of brown rice about three or four catties. She opened the bag, and there was a musty smell in her nose.

"Come and see, it's all good."

Zhang Qingtian beckoned.

Su Xue poked her head over and looked, the black, green, white, and the rice with bran weeds, exuding a musty smell, made her swallow her saliva.

This......

"How do you cook this?"

"Go back and wash it, wash it, put it in the pot and cook it, and when the rice soup is boiling, add two handfuls of wild vegetables and a little salt to it, and it's a meal." It doesn't cost much to be fed. ”

Zhang Qingtian introduced.

Su Xue gasped.

This......

Whether the three little ones could eat the brown rice or not, she couldn't eat it.

"Still don't need it, thank you comrade for your kindness."
