Chapter 410 A somewhat distorted village custom

Toffee is a scarce resource these days. Even if Sanxing Village can earn foreign exchange, it won't be able to issue a few kilograms of toffee coupons every year.

Although the living conditions in Sanxing Village have improved in the past two years, the onlookers are also very jealous of the toffee that even if they have money, they can't buy it.

When I heard about the candy distribution, the first ones who were excited were the children playing around, who all tried their best to squeeze in front of Wang Chunmei.

After a while, Wang Chunmei was surrounded by dozens of children over three or four years old, all of whom stretched out their hands.

"You cowards, please stop crowding. Three candies per person is definitely enough." Wang Chunmei raised the candy bag in her hand and shouted loudly.

At this moment, three or four boys, about fourteen or fifteen years old, kept grabbing the bag in Wang Chunmei's hand.

"Mom, I'm holding the candy, and you look at the human hair, be careful of the weight."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Wen stepped forward and left the crowd, taking the candy bag from his mother's hand.

The toffee that Li Wen brought back was a little bigger. There were about 500 toffee in five kilograms. If you didn't look at it, the people at the door might not have enough to give out today.

"I don't usually see many of these children, but today these good guys came all at once. There are so many of them!" Wang Chunmei wiped the sweat from her forehead and said with a palpitating look on her face.

"Mom, you come out first and I will make arrangements."

Li Wen waved to his mother, who was naturally among the children.

"Everyone should line up. Didn't the teacher teach you when you go to school? I will give out candies when you line up." Li Wen shouted loudly to the children around him.

Li Wen has not been home for nearly five years, and most of the children in the village no longer recognize Li Wen. At this time, all the children saw Li Wen, who was tall and powerful. When they heard Li Wen shouting, they all felt a little agitated.

They were timid and lined up backward.

"This is what it looks like!"

The old village chief Li Juncai, who was sitting next to him, also nodded cheerfully.

While the children were lining up, Li Wen and Wang Chunmei began to distribute candies quickly. The two women did not dare to delay, otherwise more children in the village would come after hearing the news.

As the children left one by one, the adults who were embarrassed around them came closer.

"Her fifth aunt, my child is not here, so give me a few so that Xiaowen and his nephew can taste foreign candies." A woman on the side who was about the same age as Wang Chunmei said with a smile on her face.

"Yes! Fifth sister-in-law, let us also taste what this foreign candy tastes like."

"Fifth wife, please give us some candies to sweeten your mouth."

…………

As someone spoke, the adults around him started to cheer.

Li Wen and his mother distributed candies once, and only half of the candies in their pockets were left. These were exactly what Li Wen and his mother had planned to leave to the adults.

After handing out sweets to adults, it was Wang Chunmei's turn to "become a human being". After all, Li Wen was young and couldn't resist.

"Looking at what everyone said, if you come to play in front of my house today, you will definitely have to sweeten your mouth.

Awen, bring the bag over here and quickly give out candies to your aunt and the others." Wang Chunmei was obviously used to this kind of scene, smiling all over her face and coping with it easily.

Most of the adults who came to chat in front of Li Wen's house today are relatives of Li Wen's family who have not yet left the fifth server. There are not many people, only forty or fifty people. Most of them are sleeping or working at home while the cats are in winter.

There were more than two hundred candies left, and three candies were more than enough for an adult. All the candies were gone in less than five minutes.

"As expected of foreign milk candy, it tastes so good, it tastes like milk in your mouth."

"Yes, this toffee is very fragrant. I have never tasted it in my life!"

After the greedy adult received the toffee, he couldn't wait to open it and stuff it into his mouth, making sighing sounds from time to time.

"Everyone has a clean skin, no matter how old they are. Don't leave such good milk candy for the children to eat. If you eat it, you will gain weight and be happy (beautiful)." This is sitting aside.

The elderly elders didn’t like the adults eating sweets, so they started to curse.

When the juniors who were enjoying themselves heard the scolding, they immediately shrunk their necks and stopped talking. They were afraid of being caught and called names. It would be too embarrassing to talk back if they couldn't talk back.

Because the island that Li Wen went to is a sensitive place, I can't say much more besides a brief introduction. After all, it's still during the sports meeting, and too much words will be wrong.

After sitting there for a while, the people at the door of Li Wen's house looking curious and joining in the fun, except for the old man, began to leave one after another.

"Brother Six, let's go and play cards!"

"Thirteenth sister-in-law, let's go play huahuahua cards."



All of a sudden, groups of three or five who were close friends in the village began to walk towards the agreed place.

"Wenzi, will you go to upgrade?"

"That's right! Wenzi hasn't been back for several years, let's play together."

The young people in the village who were familiar with Li Wen all invited him.

"Okay, let's go for a walk." Li Wen said to his mother, and followed the other children to leave.

It was already past twelve o'clock, the temperature had become warmer, and there were more people in the village.

Along the way, Li Wen not only saw people sunbathing, but also saw many men and women playing various cards together in groups. Li Wen couldn't help but frown.

"Datou, when did people in our village start playing cards?

Are there so many people playing cards now? I wonder why they are still playing for money." Li Wen asked, looking at the young man whose head was obviously much bigger than the others.

"Hey! You're talking about this! It's been around since 1966.

When winter comes, there is no work in the fields. As long as everyone completes the brigade's handicraft tasks on time, they can start playing.

This card game is just for fun and entertainment, one point is worth one point, and two points are just for fun." Datou explained with a smile.

As he spoke, he looked around and saw that there was no one else around. He whispered in front of Li Wen: "Those who are playing cards at the door are just having fun. Some people in the village are still playing mahjong and pushing pancakes in the house.

That guy is a big player. I heard that losing dozens of dollars in one night is the same as playing."

Li Wen was shocked. A few dozen yuan was enough for his family to live for a year before.

"Have you ever played tricks? You're pretty good at it. You've made a lot of money in the past few years, right?" Li Wen asked with a smile.

"I now have three children to support! My father injured his body digging a reservoir a few years ago. Now he can't do heavy work and has to take medicine frequently.

Although I have earned a lot in the past few years, I still can't make money as fast as I spend it. I'd better forget about pushing pancakes. Just listen to it. I can't afford to play it." After hearing this, Li Datou smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Li Wen sighed as he looked at this guy who was one year younger than him but looked ten years older than him. He was only in his early twenties and was already shouldering the burden of the family.

“Next year will be better!”

Li Wen had some plans in mind when he returned to his hometown this time. He smiled and patted the younger one on the shoulder, comforting him.

"Haha! Wenzi, you are right, next year will be better.

The village has been a blessing to you in the past few years, and life has been a lot better. Last year, our family built three brick houses, so we are going to have a lot of success in the future!" When Datou said that his family had built a brick house, Li Wen seemed to

I saw light in him.

In a hurry, the two of them arrived at a small home. At this time, the kang and the floor were already full of people standing or sitting.

"Ah! Look, who is here.
