Chapter 7 Going to town

Li Sinong wanted to find one, but she said aggrievedly: "Mom, there are many people selling jobs now, asking for food and money. I have a way but no food."

The old lady didn't say anything after hearing this. It would be okay if she wanted something else, but everyone was in short supply of food.

If you ask her for food, you might as well take away the old lady's life!

Li Siyu's eyes lit up when she heard this. She has it. Food can actually be used to change jobs?

But she couldn't say it openly, like she had food, please give me a job.

"Second sister, how much food do you need?" Li Siyu wanted to inquire and see if there was any solution.

Li Sinong didn't think much about it when he heard it, since he couldn't get it from home anyway.

"One hundred kilograms of grain, both coarse and fine grains are fine. It also costs one hundred yuan, which is too expensive." Li Sinong sounded a little regretful that he could not get these things.

"You can have several wives here, why don't you go and rob them?" When the old lady heard that she wanted so many things, she directly hurt the person who was selling her work.

"Mom, even if you have money now, you can't buy food. Those who bring up the family are starving to death if they eat and drink based on their wages." Although Li Sinong thought the old lady was right, this is the current market situation.

In times of famine, a wife could only get a few dozen kilograms of grain, but it was hard to find a job.

Li Siyu didn't think so. She only had a junior high school degree and it was impossible to go to school. She could only find a job. "Second sister, what kind of job is this? It's so expensive."

Li Sinong turned over and said, "We have a few food factories, but most of them are labor-intensive jobs."

Li Siyu didn't ask again. She was thinking about how to exchange food for a job. As long as she had a job, she wouldn't have to worry about not having enough to eat every day.

The most important thing is that she can secretly subsidize her family. This is the main purpose.

Early the next morning, Li Si Nong drank porridge and was about to leave, and Li Siyu put on clothes and wanted to follow.

"Mom, I want to go to town for two days. I'm tired of staying at home." Li Siyu clung to the old lady coquettishly, holding her arms and not letting go.

"Okay, okay, let's go and relax in Siyu." The old lady listened to her little daughter and did whatever she wanted.

Li Sinong looked embarrassed, but didn't say anything. After all, the old lady had already spoken, and she would be scolded if she spoke any more.

The old lady also thought about it. Anyway, she can't let her daughter go hungry when she goes to her in-laws' house. It saves food and allows her children to relax, which is great.

"Boss, go to the captain's house and write a letter of introduction to Siyu. Just say it's a visit and you won't come back regularly."

"Hey." The boss Li Siguo responded and went out.

Several children also wanted to go with us and wanted to see the town, but no one dared to say it because they had said it before but never went.

Li Siguo came back soon. Now he needs a letter of introduction when he goes out, otherwise he will be arrested if he is not checked.

Li Siyu quickly packed two changes of clothes and followed Li Sinong out.

It's icy and snowy outside, the sky is blue, and the air is fresh.

"Siyu, why do you think you're going to town?" Li Sinong wasn't bothering her. It was the Chinese New Year, and it was still cold. Her little sister had been reluctant to walk since she was a child, so why did she suddenly want to walk to town?

Li Siyu lied casually, "My classmate mailed me something, I'll go get it."

"oh."

Li Sinong didn't ask any more questions, and the two of them walked to the town without talking.

It was an hour's journey, and the two of them walked for two hours. There was nothing they could do. The mountain road was uneven, the snow was deep, and Li Siyu walked slowly, so the two of them took twice as long.

The town is larger than the village. There are several two-story buildings in the center of the town. You can see them from a long distance. I glanced at them a few times when I passed by. They were all public buildings such as supply and marketing cooperatives, post offices, and hospitals.

There were not many people on the broad road, and it was even more deserted than in the village. Li Siyu walked quickly with the second sister in front.

Li Sinong's house is located on the outskirts of the town, and you have to cross the entire town to get there.

The two stopped in front of a wooden gate. The yard was surrounded by wood. They looked at a red brick house of 70 to 80 square meters in the yard.

The yard inside is quite large, and there is probably a small vegetable garden.

The door was unlocked, so Li Sinong opened the door and led the people in. When they walked into the house, they found the living room.

I saw an old lady in her fifties, sitting on a stool knitting a sweater. When she saw Li Siyu coming in, her eyes were a little bored, but she didn't say anything.

"Mom, my little sister is here to stay for two days and run some errands." Li Sinong looked at the old lady opposite with a flattering look.

The old lady Wang nodded and ignored the two of them.

Li Siyu knew that coming to the door at this time would definitely be annoying, but there was nothing she could do about it. "Aunt Wang, I'm sorry to bother you again."

Aunt Wang was a little surprised when she heard Li Siyu's polite look, but she didn't say anything and just nodded.

Li Siyu stood aside in embarrassment. This was the first time she met someone who was so disgusted with her.

And it’s unabashedly so!

"Siyu, you stay warm in this room, and I'll go out to cook." Li Sinong knew that her mother-in-law didn't want her little sister to come, so she had to cook by herself.

During dinner in the evening, Li Siyu met his second brother-in-law Yang Jun, and his two nephews Yang Tianbao and Yang Tianyu.

Both children are in primary school. They usually eat at school at noon and come back after school in the afternoon.

However, neither of the children is close to Li Siyu, because the original owner always grabs food from the children every time he comes and always talks about them.

Brother-in-law Yang Jun didn't say anything, and he wasn't very welcoming anyway.

The Yang family's dinner is also porridge, but with more rice grains and fried shredded potatoes.

After dinner, the two children went to bed with the Yang family and Li Siyu went to the single bed.

After turning off the lights for a while, Li Siyu heard that the two of them seemed to be asleep. Just as he was about to enter the space, he heard someone talking.

"Why are you here again, sister-in-law? Didn't you take back the meat? Those are the meat tickets that you have saved for half a year." The dissatisfied voice of brother-in-law Yang Jun came, and his voice was very low, but Li Siyu still heard it.

Li Siyu is more embarrassed, neither listening nor listening.

"Siyu came to town for something." Li Sinong didn't want his little sister to come, but he had no choice. Every time he hesitated, he would be scolded by his mother. If he didn't agree, he would be beaten.

Yang Jun was obviously very unhappy, "I say that every time!"

The two of them didn't speak anymore, and after a while, slight snoring came from next door.

Li Siyu pursed her lips. The original owner's popularity was really bad. It's no wonder they didn't welcome her.

After thinking about it, she entered the space. She walked around the warehouse, found a box of brown sugar, and took out a bag of 500 grams.

I took a look at the packaging and started rummaging through it again. There was no yellow paper, but there was white paper.

After wrapping the brown sugar, she dug out a bottle of white wine. The expensive packaging had labels on the lids. She found a cheap bottle and wiped off all the stickers.

These two things are hard to find at this time, and they can be considered valuable gifts.

In order to restore her family's reputation, she still needs to do this!

It's all the original owner's fault for throwing such a mess at her.
