A peasant girl through the ages

Chapter 35 Light
The two women went to the educated youth spot and received a warm welcome, especially Zhang Hai, who waited impatiently.It's not that he is narrow-minded, but it's the first time he has dealt with a little girl, and he is afraid that the parents will disagree.

"Hehe, Brother Zhang, are you in a hurry? Look, are you satisfied? If not, I will find a way to make up for you."

Seeing that big jar of oil and a big piece of meat, even Zhang Hai felt embarrassed.

"Well, Auntie, how embarrassing this is, look, you gave too much."

Du Qiuchan waved his hand: "What you gave is exactly what we need, and you also need this thing. Besides, it's not easy for you children to come to us from a long distance, that is, mothers didn't see it. , I guess it must be distressing to see you suffering hardships, and it’s okay if other aunts can’t help you.”

Du Qiuchan's generosity made the four of them feel like they had found their relatives, especially what Du Qiuchan said really touched their hearts.

The two lesbians dragged Du Qiuchan to their house. Although the house was a bit shabby, the two lesbians arranged it quite warmly.

Xinyu and Du Qiuchan sat for a while and then left. Before leaving, Du Qiuchan asked the children to prepare more food and food.

"You just came here, and you have seen the situation here. There is almost no water to irrigate in the field and it is waiting for rain. Last year, our place was also dry, so you should be more prepared."

The next morning, Xinyu woke up and found that the ground was wet.

"Mom, did it rain last night?"

Lin Changhe smiled wryly: "The ground is wet, and the soil is still dry when dug up. Girl, hurry up and eat, you should go to school."

Although she was not very happy to go to school, Xinyu still picked up her schoolbag and set off with the money her mother gave her.

Lin Changhe chattered to his wife while eating: "I woke up this morning and found that many people had gone to the mountains to dig wild vegetables. I guess the big guys don't feel very well."

Du Qiuchan sighed: "It's also fortunate that our family is prepared, otherwise our family would have run out of food at this time, and we don't know what other people's homes are like?"

Lin Changhe stuffed a piece of pie into his mouth: "I'm sorry, there should be no shortage of food in the old courtyard, the boss eats the imperial food, my parents can earn it, and there are strong laborers in the family, so they are better than ours.

Changsheng has already discussed with the uncle and the others. I went to buy grain yesterday, but the price was too expensive and I didn’t buy much. The couple are also worried now. I don't know if I can buy enough. "

Du Qiuchan said: "Then there should be relief food?"

Lin Changhe curled his lips: "It's hard to say when this will be available, don't expect too much, hurry up and eat, maybe everyone will go up the mountain to get wild vegetables today."

Du Qiuchan asked worriedly: "Have you hidden everything on the mountain?"

Lin Changhe muttered: "You don't need to worry about it, I've hidden it all, and my daughter told me thousands of times, do I dare to be careless?"

Xinyu was really absent-minded in this class. You said that it would be good to go to the mountains to find some wild vegetables at this time. She knows everything the teacher said. It is really a waste of time to stay here.

After a day of messing around, when school was over, Xinyu chopped a pile of firewood and carried it home. The same was true for Lin Zhu, who was traveling with him, but he didn't do as much as Xinyu.

The little girl was also envious: "You said what my mother thought at the beginning, I wanted to learn one and a half moves with you, but my mother firmly disagreed, saying that I look like this, and if I am so tough, I can't even find my in-laws." , I don’t know what these adults think.”

Xinyu looked at her cousin, and really wanted to nod, but because of the little girl's face, she persuaded against her will: "Third Aunt loves you so much, you think practicing skills is not hard, how much have I cried for so many years?" It's over, I didn't tell you."

Xinyu remembered that there was still a piece of candy bought by her brother in her pocket, and handed it to Lin Zhu: "Stop your stomach, I'm hungry in the afternoon, but unfortunately the school is too far away, so I can't run home."

Speaking of this, Lin Zhu was also full of grievances: "Our family is now drinking gruel, or two meals. Last night I was so hungry that I went out for a walk. Guess what our grandma ate? Chicken, that chicken is delicious My saliva is almost drooling, but it's a pity that their door is locked."

Xinyu glanced at Lin Zhu: "Then you didn't shout?"

The corners of Lin Zhu's mouth drooped: "I yelled twice and no one answered. I must be afraid that I would go in to eat. People don't welcome me, so let's stop licking our faces to be annoying. Let me tell you, our grandma's food Well, you can often eat meat."

Whether you eat meat or not has nothing to do with Xinyu. The economic conditions in the old home are much better than those in the same village. If the big guy doesn't talk about it, how can he not know it?That's why the two uncles were dissatisfied.

Xinyu and the others walked into the village, good guy, there are a lot of people, it's very lively, because the electrician is installing electricity for each house.

"Oh my god, it's on, I have to go back and have a look."

Electricity, for this village, is a novelty. Some people are prepared, and their homes are bright, and those who are not prepared can only regret it secretly. Why didn't they buy light bulbs earlier?
But I can't keep the children at home from making noise, so I can only take my wife and children to walk around the house where the lights are turned on, which can be regarded as satisfying the children's wishes.

Xinyu and her family have already sent away several groups of people, and they all praised that having electricity is different from having no electricity. The house is as bright as daytime, and you don’t need to tire your eyes when you do needlework at night.

Du Qiuchan's family bought four light bulbs, and the two neighbors shared one. They can't light up their house and let people watch it, right?
After the meal, Xinyu talked to her parents about what Lin Zhu said.

"Remember, no matter how hungry you are, don't go to your uncle's house to scratch the door."

This is Du Qiuchan's words, her own sister-in-law, can she not understand?No one can find out the reason for the good talk, but if you really want to do something, don't count on it.

Xinyu replied: "When it's time to beg for food, I won't go to their door, I can't afford to lose that person."

Lin Changhe ate in silence. The third family was already like this, and the other families probably didn't fare much better.

"Well, Qiu Chan, can you ask the boss to prepare more food?"

Du Qiuchan stretched out her hand: "Where's the money? If you don't take the money, what do you ask the child to buy? There are no prices on the black market. It's not a matter of upper teeth touching lower teeth.

You also know that the second child's family can't buy food with money. Do you think you can buy it now? "

In this matter, Lin Changhe has no good solution. There are really many situations similar to theirs outside, and they are also planted secretly.
