Gao Xiulan reluctantly went outside and watched her eldest sister Gao Xiuhong enter the courtyard with a basket on her back, with a smile on her face.

“Xiulan, sister came to see you. Have you eaten?” Gao Xiuhong asked as she put her back in the basket.

“Eat, eat, I just finished eating, I eat clean.” Gao Xiulan said immediately.

Gao Xiuhong smiled and said, “Our family eats too. Whenever we share the food, we will go home and cook and eat, and I will come over when we finish eating.”

Su Qinghe went to pour water for her auntie. Gao Xiuhong took it and said happily, “Qingmiao’er is just sensible.”

“Of course my daughter is sensible, and no one else can match it.”

Gao Xiulan said. I was particularly unwilling to watch my daughter serve others, and my eyes hurt.

Gao Xiuhong has long been accustomed to Gao Xiulan’s deadly virtue of not being able to speak. I used to find it annoying to listen to it, so I just listen to it once. Now I don’t think it’s a big deal anymore, who is not bad at all. She was not good to Xiulan before, staring at Xiulan at work.

“Xiulan, my sister is here to pay back the food this time. No, the family has distributed the relief food. I think about your family, so I will return it first. If there is no chaff at home, I will pay back ten catties of sorghum. Another three catties of cornmeal. .”

Hearing this, Gao Xiulan was agitated, and ran over sharply to look at Gao Xiuhong’s back basket. Oh, it’s really sorghum. This is really… a lot of money!

Gao Xiulan looked at her sister with excitement. Ten catties of chaff were replaced by ten catties of sorghum. Why didn’t she know that she could do such a good thing, or that her young seedlings were smart.

Su Qinghe was surprised, “Auntie, how can you do this, sorghum is better than chaff.”

Gao Xiuhong said, “Your elder uncle said, this is different, it is life-saving food. How can you really return ten catties of chaff?”

Gao Xiulan smiled, “That’s right, my eldest brother-in-law has nothing to say, sincere. Such a person doesn’t suffer, eldest sister, you have vision, will find someone, you are blessed.” Anyway, whoever lets her take advantage is a good person.

“That’s not it, your eldest sister’s wife is very good.” Gao Xiuhong said happily as she heard people praise her man. She knew that among the sisters, her man was the most honest, like her son-in-law, and it was useless. Looked down upon by her parents and sisters. Now listening to the third sister’s praise, I feel at ease.

Su Qinghe feels that this beautiful misunderstanding will continue forever.

“Auntie, what’s the situation at home?”

“It’s all okay. The food can last for a while. We save a little bit of food and can always make it through before the New Year. We still scored the food in the team before the New Year. This year can pass. Hey, this time we have it. After experience, if you can eat one bite less every day, eat slowly, and you will have to survive the famine years.”

Gao Xiulan said, “That is, one bite less and you won’t die.” Anyway, don’t eat their old Su’s food.

Ask Gao Xiu to sit and drink water while Gao Xiulan carried the grain in and put it away. Su Qinghe went into the house with Gao Xiulan.

“Mom, Auntie is really generous to our family this time. These ten catties of sorghum are worth more than the chaff.”

“That’s not it, Qing Miao’er, you are really smart. You can go out with life-saving food, and you will have to double it when you return it.”

Gao Xiulan happily poured the ten catties of sorghum into her own sorghum bag.

Su Qinghe said, “But if someone borrows it next time, what should I do if I don’t come?”

“Who dares?” Gao Xiulan said sternly.

“Mom, that’s what I think. I’ll take it back to an auntie egg, and let her taste the sweetness. When I look back, I will know that there is a loan and a repayment. It is not difficult to borrow again. There will be some sweetness after returning things. Next time we will borrow the chaff. !” There are relatives who come and go.

Gao Xiulan looked at her ten catties of sorghum, and after thinking about it, she gritted her teeth and picked the smallest egg.

What Qing Miao’er said was right. See if this is not profitable, she will make more money in the future.

When the two mothers and daughters came out, Gao Xiulan stuffed her brother’s egg into Gao Xiuhong’s hand, “Take it back and give your two Qiuguo babies to make egg and flower soup.” She seemed to feel uncomfortable, and said casually, “Two outsiders. What a blessing for this kind of species.”

Gao Xiuhong’s tears were just touched by the egg in her hand, and she was stunned by Gao Xiulan’s words.

Su Qinghe quickly smiled, “Auntie, my mother means, your two grandsons have eaten this, my cousin-in-law must be grateful for your kindness to his children.”

“That’s what I mean.” Gao Xiuhong felt relieved when she thought of her sister’s non-talking virtue. The third child is just like this, and it’s not pleasant to say good things.

“Xiulan, what you didn’t say to Sister. Sister will have a better life in the future, she must be nice to you.”

“Haha, I can’t count on it.”

Gao Xiuhong: “…”

Su Qinghe said, “My mother said, Auntie can eat and drink by herself. She doesn’t expect that she has my sister-in-law.”

Gao Xiuhong nodded, then looked at Gao Xiulan and sighed, “The third child, don’t talk like that when you talk to others, it’s not good.”

He said that he was ready to go back with the basket on his back, “I’m going back to work, you guys are busy.”

Su Qinghe sent her out. Looking back, she looked at Gao Xiulan frowning unhappily, “What did she mean by what she said? What’s wrong with my words? Just worry about eating carrots.”

“…”

After Gao Xiuhong left, he went to Gao Xiuju’s house again. Gao Xiuju knew that her sister was here, so she hurried back from the ground to see her.

“What’s wrong with sister?”

“Repaying the grain, you looked for the grain borrowed by Xiulan, your brother-in-law was worried, and asked me to come over and pay it back.”

Gao Xiuju didn’t even know about this. The last time her sister borrowed grain, she didn’t believe it. She thought she hadn’t borrowed it. Unexpectedly, the third child actually borrowed food.

“Eldest sister, Xiulan still has this heart?”

Gao Xiuhong was unhappy, “Why are you talking, Xiulan people are fine. I went there and gave me food without saying a word. If it weren’t for Xiulan, Qiu Guo’s baby wouldn’t be able to survive, and we would also be hungry. It’s broken.” She wiped her tears and showed Gao Xiuju a nice egg in her pocket. “Give me an egg back, Xiuju, I have to be nice to the third child in the future. She’s just a stupid mouth and can’t speak. Still good.”

“…” Gao Xiuju was dumbfounded, Gao Xiulan couldn’t speak yet? No one can beat her mouth since she was a child. After so many years of quarreling, she has never beaten Gao Xiulan! See how well she coaxed her eldest brother and mother. Why can’t you speak? !

Gao Xiuhong said for a while, and then bid farewell to Gao Xiuju. She just came to have a look, and let Gao Xiuju get along well with Gao Xiulan in the future. The fourth sister Xiuling was married far away, and it was not easy to walk around. Usually, the three sisters walked a lot.

Watching Gao Xiuhong go away with a basket on his back, Gao Xiuju’s head is still dizzy, what’s the situation?

“Qingmiao’er, go to the commune again to find your uncle in a hurry.”

After the food was divided, Gao Xiulan immediately remembered her daughter’s marriage.

Su Qinghe was practicing stitching, preparing to make clothes for Gao Xiulan. Hearing this, he was immediately depressed… “Mom, haven’t you just been there?”

“It wasn’t for food relief. Didn’t we finish it. We will go again this time. If it fails, I will ask your grandma for something.”

Su Qinghe almost pierced his hand.

“Mom, wait for two days, it’s hot outside, and it’s cool after a while.”

“All right, then two days later.” Gao Xiulan made up her mind. If there is no news, she will definitely get the things back. Then let her mother go and talk to her brother.

In the Town Commune Supply and Marketing Cooperative, Gao Fusheng was talking secretly with Master Liu in the canteen.

Master Liu gave a piece of paper to Gao Fusheng. It was filled with information on young married young people in the county, their names, how many people in the family, and what they did, including where they worked and how much they were paid. And how big the house is. All written clearly.

Gao Fusheng gave Master Liu two taels of sugar and two taels of fat pork.

Master Liu gave Le’s tooth blind, and curiously said, “I said, Lao Gao, you have a few nieces. Looking for so many people, can you run out of them?”

Gao Fusheng said, “My four sisters, how many nieces do you think of me?”

“That needs a lot. I’ll ask you if it’s not enough. These people have said that as long as the parents are willing to provide food for their daughters, they are happy to marry a rural girl. It’s no wonder that people are demanding. After all, we rural people go to the city. I can’t afford the food.”

Gao Fusheng certainly understands this truth. He thinks this is completely fine. Anyway, Qing Miao’er also has something to eat at home. What a big deal, will her brother be sent to the city?

Looking at the information on the paper, Gao Fusheng was quite satisfied. With so many fishes in the net at once, it’s good to have a relationship with my third sister. The only pity is that there is no news from Secretary Hao. But it doesn’t matter, let’s talk about it first.

The old Gu’s house in the county town has been very busy recently, asking for information about young girls.

Sister Gu specially took out a small book to keep records, and Sister Gu collected the information, and she was responsible for sorting it out.

There are rural girls, and there are also urban girls. She deliberately put the information of rural girls on the front.

But she watched it for herself, but didn’t catch it. There is food in the city, but basically no work. There is not enough food even there. Don’t just eat and not eat vegetables, and you won’t be able to provide food and clothing at home in the future. As for those who have jobs, they are basically poor at home, and they have to provide for the whole family… As for those with good families, it’s basically impossible. There is no way, the old Gu’s family knows those with better conditions, and the girls are all fine and noble, and the worst of them is to find a formal unit. Longer but also spiritual. As soon as they heard the reputation of their third child, they shook their heads. What a promise for someone who eats the old man’s sister-in-law at home and then gets kicked out of the house.

Let’s look at rural families. Some are the daughters of commune officials and children of relatives. It sounds like a good name, but if you think about the situation in your own family, you know that even the children of the cadres are the same. It’s a pure rural family, and it’s quite a burden. Some of them are pretty good. What’s the most beautiful in the village…what does it matter?

The two kept searching for the sketches, and finally selected the most reliable ones.

“I think this is good, but I’m younger. I haven’t reached the age of seventeen.” Second sister-in-law pointed to a name.

“The niece of the staff of the Commune Supply and Marketing Cooperative… The Supply and Marketing Cooperative is good, and it is easy to buy things. The three brothers in the family, the youngest and the most painful, are white and fat. They can do all work outside the house and are diligent. Good temperament and good popularity.” Sister-in-law’s eyes lit up after reading it, “I’m afraid of something, our third child is only eighteen, and it happens that the two of them are at the age of obtaining a certificate together.”

“I’m afraid that the third child would disagree. I guess she didn’t even open her face.” Gu Ersao was a little worried, and the third child’s picky temperament was not good.

“The third child hasn’t opened it long himself, so he turned around and let him see for himself.”

Then he also wrote down Su Qinghe’s information in the notebook.

Two days later, the Gao Fusheng Commune had a half-day rest, and was about to go to the Yellow River production team to reply to his third sister and niece.

After eating in the cafeteria at noon, he was stopped by Secretary Hao’s wife.

“Our boss said, people said the conditions are right, they just want to take a look. See if there will be time later, take your niece to take a look?”

Hearing this news, Gao Fusheng was so energetic that he stuffed Secretary Hao’s wife all the cloth he was going to bring to Su Qinghe.

Then he rushed to the Yellow River production team, thinking of something halfway, quickly took out his own notebook, and added the people mentioned by Secretary Hao’s wife. It’s over, I didn’t say what my name was, or the specific situation at home. So it was recorded: the children of cadres, the youngest, and soldiers.
