"Auntie, it's okay. We came back late today because we worked for others. They gave us a bag of corn, three large Japanese melons, green onions, and radishes and cabbage."
Zhao Yanli shed tears after listening to her eldest niece's words and quickly wiped them away.
The four children arrived in the yard, and the two boys were carrying corn. They dropped it directly to the ground, and the corn cobs were still wet.
The two nieces entered the house carrying bags.
"Auntie."
"You don't have to do this. You also have bills and money, and your family will bring you food."
The two sisters just smiled and carefully took out the vegetables from the bag.
"Auntie, auntie, these Japanese melons are so sweet. They gave them to us to eat. Each of you can take one back."
The two sisters held back their tears because the children were so sensible.
"No, you can keep it to eat."
"Auntie, you always give us things. That's not good, so just take one back each of you. We didn't pick this up. It was the wages that others gave us."
Now the two sisters said nothing.
The four children all went to wash their hands and faces, and when they came back, they sat down and prepared to eat.
"There's no need to bring any fat for us, we have enough oil."
"Xiaoling, you can't do this. Don't you know that only by having a good body can a person have the strength to do other things?
Besides, you are all still young. If you are not afraid that you will all be short in the future, just save it."
Zhao Xiaoli is a little angry. This child is a little stunned now.
"Yes, Xiaoling. This is not how you live your life. You are putting the cart before the horse. Whether you are working, going to school, etc., aren't they all for a better life? What can you get from living like this?"
Zhao Xiaoling was very embarrassed by being said. "Auntie, I was wrong."
"Xiao Ling, you can do a work-study program, you can go work for others, that's fine, but you must ensure that you eat well and take good care of your younger brothers and sisters so that they can have a healthy body."
Zhao Xiaoling nodded, "Auntie, I really remember it. I will never do this again."
The two sisters didn't know what to say. They hurriedly greeted the children to eat quickly.
"Auntie, auntie, I have been selling bills for two months, and I want to take my brothers and sisters home to celebrate the New Year.
We still have to grind the corn at home, and although we can’t do anything else, we can still grind the corn when we go home during the holidays.”
After hearing what their niece said, the two sisters felt even more sour in their hearts.
"Don't do this again. We'll buy you tickets."
"Auntie, we can do it ourselves. This bill was bought from my classmate's house. Her elder brother was getting married and needed a lot of things. So I sold some to her."
It’s already like this, what else can you say? Watching the children eating, the two sisters left. It was already too late, and there was still a lot of things to do at home.
Zhao Xiaoling still gave each of her two aunts a large Japanese melon.
The aunts always take care of them. They also want to repay their aunts.
The two sisters were silent on the way back. The children at home were too sensible, which made them uncomfortable.
In the days to come, the children will eat more fat and water, and they will also eat one meal of refined food every week.
But the four older ones will still pick up food and work for others when they can. They will also give some, which makes them very satisfied.
After the autumn harvest was over, they harvested a bag of corn kernels and half a bag of soybeans. These things are mainly easy to pick up. When the soybeans are ripe, they will explode on the ground. This is an advantage for them.
Now that the weather is getting cold, Zhao Yanping came over and added cotton to the children's cotton-padded clothes to keep them warm.
"Xiaoling, your eldest uncle and your old uncle will go to the farm the day after tomorrow."
"Well, tell your family that the five of us are fine here. And we will go back during the winter vacation. We can take the train by ourselves. My classmate's father works on the railway. He promised to take care of us.
Auntie, old aunt, I will also take good care of my younger brothers and sisters."
"Okay, we'll talk about it then." It's true that they can't live without each other and they are a big family. But I still feel uneasy leaving a few children alone to take the train.
I went home and told my man, "Go back and tell my eldest brother and them that it's time for them to take a vacation when you come back."
"I'll make arrangements to go later next year until they are on vacation."
"Forget it, it will be troublesome when it snows. It's too dangerous, let's do it now." Nothing is more important than safety. Every time they go out in the car, their family is very worried.
After sending her husband away, Zhao Yanli wrote a letter to Su Yuanyuan, detailing how sensible her children were.
Their brothers-in-law arrived at the farm a week later. They had one truck of fertilizer at home, and the rest was given to the farm department, which would ask for two more trucks. This time, they might be able to give three trucks, and Zhou Yongbing’s classmates found another truck.
But it still costs 100 yuan. The farm will definitely ask for it.
Zhang Fusheng went to his father-in-law's house to unload the truck, and Zhou Yongbing went to the production department. He also wanted to talk to Factory Director Feng.
When Zhang Fusheng arrived at his father-in-law's house, An Lixia ran out with a smile.
"Fusheng, you're here. Your father and I don't live here anymore. We're getting old and we don't need the land anymore. You go and unload three tons for Qingjie, and then go to your eldest brother's house."
"Mom, do you live with my elder brother?"
An Lixia smiled and nodded, "Yes, I will live with your eldest brother and the others. You are here just in time. You can help with the move and bring all the food."
Zhang Fusheng nodded. "Mom, these are the snacks and clothes Xiaoping brought to your brother and father."
"Just put it in the car. Just put it down when you get to your elder brother's house?" Who says girls are not good? Every year they bring special good things.
Zhao Qingjie heard the commotion and ran out to watch his eldest brother-in-law arrive.
"Qingjie, your fertilizer is still unloaded at the previous place?"
"Yes, brother-in-law, you have worked hard. You have a rest. Xuemei and we will unload slowly."
"No need. I'll pull it up for you, so it can go faster."
People who are used to working really don't think much of these sixty bags of fertilizer. So the three of them finished unloading it in half an hour.
"Brother-in-law, I will follow you to my eldest brother's place. Xu Hongbing wants three tons. The remaining four tons will be given to my eldest brother. My parents will go with them."
Xu Hongbing went there first. Zhao Qingxiang saw it and hurried over to help. There were more people now, so Zhang Fusheng was useless.
A truck of fertilizers was unloaded. They all went to their parents' place again, mainly for their food except for one year's rations. After leaving the mission food, they planned to sell it all, which of course was a big deal to the old couple. Their brother's food was just
I’ll have to wait for the next time. Besides, this year the couple’s three pigs will be killed and they will be sold by my uncle.
