The Years of Qingsong Chapter 3: There must be a golden finger
"Li Mo Supermarket" was opened after Li Mo's mother passed away in his previous life and he sold the house in his family. Originally, he had been cooperating with classmates to provide tutoring and study abroad, but his mother suddenly became seriously ill and stayed in the ICU for half a year.
Mo put down his work and took care of his mother for half a year.
It's a pity that his mother passed away. The sad Li Mo sold the house at home, bought a large store in his mother's hometown, and asked friends to pool money for a loan, and then he opened this supermarket.
But I didn’t expect that before the store was officially opened after the goods were purchased, I would travel through time!
Li Mo briefly inspected the supermarket - the supermarket has not changed much - there are food section, grain section, fresh food section, clothing section, stationery section, toy section, electronics section, tool section, etc...
However, this supermarket is no longer the storefront of the past, but an existence similar to a portable space.
In addition, Li Mo also discovered a problem. Everything here cannot be eaten or used. But it can be taken to the outside space. This magical setting made Li Mo secretly complain. But he was very satisfied!
He really didn't expect that there really was a golden finger in this world, nor did he expect that his golden finger would be the supermarket he opened with all his efforts.
Maybe... it's my mother who is blessing me...
After a moment of silence, Li Mo cheered up again.
He stared at a big elbow in a container in the deli area without moving his eyes! He didn't know how long it had been since the original owner had eaten meat. The moment he saw the elbow, his body seemed to be stimulated by something, and his mouth was watering.
Come down.
Li Mo picked up his big elbow and couldn't wait to run out. But just as he was about to go out, Li Mo's eyes fell on a box of compressed milk tablets.
After hesitating for a moment, Li Mo took a box of milk tablets and hurriedly left the portable space.
as expected!
It can be taken out.
After leaving the portable space, Li Mo smelled the smell of star anise, cinnamon bark, tangerine peel, and Sichuan peppercorns stewed in soy sauce. The smell made Li Mo take a bite on the big elbow like a hungry wolf.
On normal days, Li Mo would never eat elbow because it is very greasy.
But at this moment, in Li Mo's eyes, the skin of the elbow was elastic and firm. When he took one bite, the richness of soy sauce and the flavor of spices exploded in his mouth. Even if it is fat meat that he would never touch on weekdays,
At this moment, it feels so smooth, tender and plump.
Li Mo ate one bite after another, even if he choked, he was still full of happiness.
Smelling the smell of meat, Li Mo felt that he couldn't control his mouth at all. He also knew not to eat too fast, but his body seemed to be disobedient and he ate in big mouths.
I choked several times and beat my chest, but I couldn't stop!
A whole elbow was eaten by Li Mo like a whirlwind.
After eating an elbow, Li Mo rubbed his belly with satisfaction and thought about the dinner he just had.
Li Mo let out a long sigh. This meal was something Li Mo would never forget in his life.
Thick-faced steamed buns.
Fat elbows.
Although it is not the same thing, it represents two lives.
Should he chew the unpalatable and hard-to-swallow steamed buns every day, or eat the smooth, tender and plump elbows every day? Li Mo had already made a decision as quickly as possible between the two life choices.
We must not live like this anymore! We must change! Even if we really want to persuade our parents to divorce, we must change!
Li Mo never thought that poverty and hunger would be so terrible!
He squatted by the river and drank some water to calm himself down, and then washed his hands and face again. One was to sober himself up, and the other was to wash away the smell of meat.
He was afraid that everyone would smell the smell of meat on his body, so he sat by the river for a while longer before going back.
At this time, everything in the village was dark, and no one could be seen at all. There was no nightlife in the countryside, and there was basically nothing to do except create human beings. Otherwise, where did so many children come from?
Li Mo walked back carefully. He quietly opened the door and then closed the courtyard door.
Just when he was about to turn around, a milky voice came, which almost scared Li Mo out of his wits!
"Brother? Is that you?"
Li Mo was so frightened that he trembled all over. When he came back to his senses, he saw Xiao Li Ran looking at him pitifully and asking: "Brother, are you hungry? Did I eat your food and you are hungry?"
Li Ran asked guiltily. Then Li Mo saw Li Ran in the moonlight. He slowly knelt down and said, "I went out to get you some delicious food. Don't let others know. Bring me a bowl of water."
Li Ran obediently went to get a bowl, and then poured a bowl of water for Li Mo. She thought her brother was thirsty. Li Ran said obediently: "Brother, drink water."
Li Mo took the bowl and said with a smile: "Brother, can you do a trick?"
"What trick?"
Li Mo smiled and took out a compressed milk tablet. This thing is compressed instant milk powder. Li Mo put the milk tablet into the bowl. The milk tablet melted quickly, and the bowl of water turned milky white in front of Li Ran.
Li Mo handed the bowl to Li Ran and said, "Drink."
"what is this?"
"You'll know after you drink it." Li Mo smiled and handed it to Li Ran. After the little thing took a sip, her eyes lit up. She asked excitedly: "What is this? It tastes so good?"
"If it tastes good, just drink it. Brother made it for you. Don't tell anyone. You only have it and no one else has it."
Li Ran still handed the bowl to Li Mo and said: "Brother doesn't drink, and I don't drink."
"I've drank a big bowl, this is yours. Hurry up."
After hearing what Li Mo said, Li Ran obediently drank a large bowl of milk. This piece of milk could actually make two bowls of this size.
But Li Mo didn't do this. Because Li Ran was too thin and had no one to take care of him, so he felt like he was superfluous in the family.
After Li Ran drank all the milk, she still held the big bowl and licked it. She was afraid of wasting a drop.
After Li Ran finished drinking, Li Mo asked her to wash the bowl with water, but the little thing came back again.
I drank a bowl of water from the dishes.
Li Ran suffered too much that he shouldn't have to endure. At this age, he should have been pampered by heaven, but he was so miserable at home. Li Mo was really distressed, but fortunately he took out a box.
Enough for her to drink for several days.
Besides, it is easy to get some nutritional supplements for Li Ran without anyone noticing.
And there are many compressed milk tablets like this in supermarkets. They are enough for Li Ran to eat alone. After Li Mo sent Li Ran back to sleep, he lay on the kang secretly excited.
Because of the golden finger, at least he won't starve to death.
But the golden finger cannot be used casually. Everything in the supermarket is a product of 2020, and there is no way to explain it. If it is not corrected, it may be caught and used as a human specimen for research.
Moreover, many things in supermarkets are products within the national plan. In 1978, the country was a planned economy, not a market economy. The products sold had to be purchased with tickets. A large number of products of unknown origin like this are easily deducted.
Speculation is a crime. If this kind of thing is serious, you may even lose your head. Li Mo will never do this.
But it is impossible to take it out directly, and it is unrealistic to cash it out. How can Li Ran not be hungry, let alone watch his eldest sister and mother being hungry!?
Gotta find a way!
On weekdays, his eldest sister is also very kind to him, and his mother loves him very much. She cares about him and will try to find a way to keep them fed no matter what.
Since they can't cash it in, they have to find an excuse to come up with some food to help them solve their food and clothing problem. This may be the best way to solve this crisis at the moment. After all, the family is already running out of food!
As for Li Fuguo and the other two sisters, just be hungry. Li Mo didn't feel anything at all. But the others didn't.
The reason why Li Mo thinks so is because he is not the biological son of this family. Their biological son has fallen off the cliff and died. Standing in front of them now is another person named "Li Mo", but they don't
Just know it.
Although Li Mo wants to survive as the original owner, he has no obligation to take care of everyone. Therefore, if his father Li Fuguo can still be saved, Li Mo may take him to live a good life, but if he is not saved, Li Mo will not do anything.
He kicked him away hesitantly.
He cannot starve or suffer poverty because of a stranger. Li Mo has no such obligation.
Although I don't say it out loud, I think so in my heart.
When Li Mo thought of this, a clear idea came to his mind——
Since he wanted to sever the relationship, there was no need to take anything into account. He now needed an opportunity to completely break up the relationship within the family.
My father was foolishly filial to his grandmother, but he just thought that the old man loved him because she was his mother. But what if he was allowed to see his mother's true face completely?
If he still refuses to repent after that time, then there is no need to take care of him anymore, then let him fend for himself, and then focus all his attention on getting his parents divorced.
It is not easy to make peace, but it is not difficult to separate families!
