Chapter 216

"Mom, I'm going to see my grandpa and grandma." When he got home, Li Wen said to Wang Chunmei who was busy at work.

"Okay, go ahead! I went to your grandma's house some time ago, and she said she misses you." Wang Chunmei stopped what she was doing and said.

"Yeah! I haven't been back for half a year." Li Wen nodded.

"Take some of the braised pork and flour you brought back yesterday. Your aunt will be embarrassed again if you are empty-handed." Wang Chunmei said and walked to the kitchen.

"No, I left some things at a hotel in town yesterday. Just go and get them today." Li Wen waved his hand and pushed the car away.

During the day, there were occasionally old people sunbathing in the corners and at the door of their homes. When they saw Li Wen coming back, they all said hello.

Li Wen didn't stay long. He handed out a cigarette to each person, said a few polite words and left. Li Wen estimated that after he left, the village would be very lively.

On the way, Li Wen returned to the space and prepared three sacks; one was for his grandfather's house, and the other two were for his second aunt and his aunt's house.

I have the most decorations for my grandpa’s house, but I can’t help it. Although he doesn’t want to give anything to his three uncles, he can’t help but feel sorry for his son!

I prepared five kilograms of braised pork for the old man and wrapped it in three paper bags. I also prepared five kilograms of lard sugar and thirty kilograms of cornmeal.

I also packed ten kilograms of white flour, a large bag of fruit and two buckets of milk powder for the two elderly people. This is for the elderly and several cousins.

The two old people will definitely eat it, but most of these things will fall on the three sons. There is no way there are parents who don't love their sons.

The main reason why Li Wen didn't like his uncles was that his aunts and sisters-in-law didn't have a fuel-efficient lamp.

The eldest uncle Wang Chunsheng was fine, and at least he was in charge of the two old people. The other two uncles Li Wen were very annoying. The old people often defaulted on their annual fifty kilograms of filial piety food.

These were the things Li Wen prepared for his grandfather's house. He would not dare to give more to his family because his eldest aunt liked to steal things for her parents' family.

Sometimes living too well in these years is not a blessing. Li Wen's parents were also very frugal about the things they brought, secretly giving them to their children at night.

Children of this age are often hungry, and they are more strict in their speech. In addition, they have never spoken out about their parents' instructions.

The sacks for the second aunt and aunt contained three kilograms of braised pork, twenty kilograms of cornmeal, five kilograms of white flour, and finally five kilograms of tangerines.

After packing his things, Li Wen rode his bicycle to his aunt's house closest to Li Wen's house.

In the past, the reason Li Wen didn't like to go to his aunt's house was that her mother-in-law was not a good person. She was a typical emperor's mother-in-law and a slave wife in this era.

My uncle was also a filial piety, and the old lady would often quarrel with her after being provoked, and once she even beat her.

Fortunately, the three uncles did not give up in this regard. They called a dozen men from the upper clan to go to my uncle's house and gave him a good meal, which made him calm down.

In less than twenty minutes of riding, Li Wen arrived at his aunt's house.

"Is anyone here?"

Li Wen knocked on the door.

After a while, there was a rush of footsteps inside the door.

In these days, people in the village didn't knock when they came to the door. They just opened the door and called. Only outsiders knocked.

"Brother Wenzi!"

The person who opened the door was a little boy. When he saw Li Wen, he immediately screamed in surprise.

This child is Wang Mancang, the youngest son of my aunt's family. Wang Mancang is five years old and is a few months younger than the little girl Li Juan.

When my aunt Wang Chunyan gave birth to her little boy in 1957, she was exaggerating because hunger had already appeared.

Looking at the empty noodle vat, my uncle named the boy Wang Mancang, hoping that he would be full of food and that his family would be full of food.

The little guy saw Li Wen hurriedly raise the threshold, and then shouted loudly towards the door.

"Mom, come and see, my brother Wenzi is here!"

Li Wen touched the little guy's head, smiled and pushed the bicycle in.

"Xiaowen is here!"

"Great writer, you are a rare guest! Have you eaten? Let's eat some of the corn grits porridge your aunt just made?" my uncle Wang Yuncheng came out with a rice bowl and greeted me.

It is already ten o'clock in the morning, and we are just eating now. It must be breakfast, not lunch. From this, we can see that life in my aunt's family is very ordinary.

Farmers don't work in winter, so most people get up late in order to reduce exercise and save food.

Li Wen's family used to be like this. In the winter, they would not get up until eight or nine o'clock. If they got up too early, they would easily get hungry.

The food in winter is also really poor. Most people only have one meal of porridge in the morning and one in the evening, which is enough to survive.

There are not many people in Sanxing Village who get up at 6 or 7 o'clock like Li Wen's family today, and their children all take a wowotou to school in the morning.

"Uncle, please eat it. I ate it at home this morning, and it was also glutinous rice porridge." Li Wen politely refused.

"Xiaowen, when did you come back?

It’s true that you kid didn’t even bother to tell your family when you were traveling far away, which made everyone worried.” My aunt Wang Chunyan walked out with her sleeves rolled up.

Li Wen smiled and scratched his head!

My aunt's family has three children. The other two older ones have gone to school, leaving only the youngest at home.

It turns out that Li Wen's family and many boys in the village go to school, and many of them only go to first or second grade.

But since everyone knew that Li Wen had a promising future in school, they gritted their teeth and sent their children to school. This can be regarded as Li Wen's indirect contribution.

"Auntie, I'm working in Chang'an now. I'm taking three days off this time. I'm in a hurry. I'll hurry up and see you today.

How are you doing at home recently? Do you have enough food to eat?" Li Wen said with a smile.

"Your uncle, I, and the children are all fine! God is not playing tricks on anyone this year. The year is good and things are going well." Wang Chunyan pulled Li Wen and said with a smile.

The relationship between Li Wen and his aunt's family is still a bit distant. After all, the aunt is looking at her own parents, so she doesn't often see her sister.

Li Wen didn't stop for long. He talked to his aunt for a while, stuffed a few one-cent sugar cubes into his little cousin's pocket, left the contents in the sack and left.

"Xiao Wen is such a good kid! I haven't seen my sister a few times throughout the year, but my nephew has been filial to me first." Wang Chunyan said to Wang Yuncheng who sent her out with her.

"Yes! Let's go out with your sister more in the future, and maybe we can get some glory for our country in the future." Wang Yuncheng's thoughts were obviously more realistic.

Li Wen rode a bicycle and rode all the way. He arrived in Xinzhen twenty minutes later. This time he must go to his grandpa's house first. This is the old rule.

Every time Li Wen came to his grandpa's house, he always ordered it. It was already eleven o'clock, and Li Wen knocked on the door.

This time it was the old man who opened the door.

"Grandpa!"
