Chapter 24 The Warm-hearted Big Sister
"Okay uncle, then I will trouble Brother Baogang."

Su Xue answered obediently.

Su Dafang waved his hand, "It's all right, let's go quickly. Xiaolong, take your sister to the supply and marketing cooperative. The supply and marketing cooperative has a lot of people. You must watch your sister and don't run around." Su Dafang asked worriedly.

In his eyes, Su Xue was still a child.

Su Xiaolong nodded, and Su Xue bent down and said to Su Baoer who had been quiet all this time, "Goodbye, Baoer, Uncle and Comrade Public Security."

Su Baoer raised her little hand and waved goodbye obediently.

"Bao'er is so cute."

Not only Su Dafang, but even Li Dazhi felt that Su Baoer was really good.If there is such a daughter, the heart of the old father will definitely be melted by her...

The three siblings went out of the police station to the supply and marketing cooperative together.Although Su Dafang asked Su Xiaolong to lead Su Xue, there is only one street in this town. As long as Su Xue is not stupid, she can see the big wooden sign hanging outside the red-roofed tile house in the distance.

'Hongqi Town Supply and Marketing Cooperative. '

On this long street, apart from the supply and marketing cooperatives, there are no other shops or anything like that. Except for the closed doors of every household, there are still those conspicuous big characters painted on the walls. .

They are all quotations from great men. Su Xue had recited them all when she was in school, so she was no stranger to them.

She pulled Su Baoer, and walked side by side with Su Xiaolong to the gate of the supply and marketing cooperative.She accidentally caught a glimpse of Su Xiaolong's slightly wrinkled face like a little old man.

Su Xue was a little amused, "What's the matter? Are you worried that I didn't bring any money?"

Su Xiaolong pursed the corners of his lips, his face was a little serious.He wasn't worried that Su Xue didn't have money, he just felt embarrassed that he didn't have money.

Now Su Xiaolong only has two yuan and eighty cents for his whole body, which was saved from the lucky money he got from his parents and relatives during the Chinese New Year.

Su Xiaolong, who has taken the initiative to regard himself as the pillar of the family, feels that their family lacks everything now, and two yuan and eighty cents can't buy anything.

Although Su Xue is their biological sister, she never ate a grain of rice or took a dime from the family since she was a child, but after Su Baozhu took their money and ran away, she came back and took on the responsibility without any complaints. The responsibility of a sister...

She cleverly took the land back, and even drew a clear line with her grandparents and uncle. If it were Su Baozhu, she would never do this.

Although she clamored to clean up Su Xiaohu and disliked them for being dirty, her eyes did not reveal the disgust from the bottom of her heart like that woman Su Baozhu did.

She seems to be doing them a favor.

Is this the difference between a real sister and a fake sister?
"I said that you are too young to think a lot." Su Xue smiled and rubbed Su Xiaolong's short cropped hair. "Don't worry, sister, I still have money."

Even if she doesn't have much money now, the conditions of their family are miserable, but Su Xue has never been the kind of person who complains about herself.

Her adoptive parents' grandfather taught her since she was a child that as long as people are alive, there is hope, and Su Xue firmly believes that this is indeed the case.

"The book also says that there must be a way for a car to reach the mountain, and the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, so there is no need to worry too much in advance."

"The sky won't fall."

Su Xiaolong didn't expect that what he thought in his heart would be guessed by Su Xue. He raised his head in embarrassment and looked at this sister who looked a little like his mother, but always had a confident face on his face.

At this moment, he seemed to see the sunshine in Su Xue's smile.

"sister……"

Subconsciously, he called out.

Su Xue agreed bluntly, "Hurry up, I have to walk back to clean up the house in a while!"

After she finished speaking, she picked up Su Bao'er and stepped over the threshold into the supply and marketing cooperative, where she started her purchases.

The grain tank in their house was already so empty that the mice didn't even want to patronize it, so the first thing to buy must be grain.Fortunately, this is a large grain-producing province, rice is available, and the price is quite reasonable, [-] cents a catty.

With a wave of Su Xue's hand, she bought thirty catties in one go.

When the salesperson of the supply and marketing agency heard the amount she reported, she raised her head and looked at her in surprise. Seeing the delicate and fair Su Xue who didn't look like a villager at first glance, Zhang Qingtian asked one more question.

"Comrade, did you buy this for a relative?"

Since the resumption of the college entrance examination last year, the phenomenon of buying things by ticket has been relatively rare.In Hongqi Town, there is no quota for food, except for some rare items such as soap, which are regulated per person.

Because the underground villages are all about production, once the summer harvest is over, many villagers will sell the idle grain at home to the supply and marketing cooperatives, and the supply and marketing cooperatives will not be short of grain.

What surprised Zhang Qingtian was that it was only two or three months before the summer harvest, and every family would not be short of food after the summer harvest. How could this lesbian in front of him still buy so much food?
Even if you buy it for a relative, you can't buy it like this.

Too much money and nowhere to spend it?

"This lesbian..."

Zhang Qingtian planned to talk to Su Xue, but Su Xue blinked, "What's the matter? Is it limited purchase?"

"No, comrade, it's like this. Although it is said that the money is your own, but I want to say that the summer grain will come down in a few months. If you buy [-] catties of rice at once, isn't it a bit too much? ?”

She knows that many people are already green and green at this time, but most people survive by eating some wild vegetables and sweet potatoes, and then raise them well after the summer harvest.

No one is as lavish as Su Xue.

After listening to Zhang Qingtian's words, Su Xue knew that it wasn't that the other party didn't sell her rice, but that she felt that she was spending too much money.She let out a hey, picked up Su Baoer, and pointed at Su Xiaolong beside him.

"There is no way. My parents are gone, and my younger siblings are still very young. I have to ask for food to raise them up."

Zhang Qingtian saw that Su Baoer was indeed relatively thin, and that Su Xiaolong was as skinny as a bamboo pole. She said sadly, "Why don't you buy some cheap brown rice? That's only a few cents a catty, cheap, two handfuls of brown rice Cook it with two handfuls of wild vegetables, and you'll be able to deal with it."

"Brown rice?" Su Xue repeated Zhang Qingtian's words in doubt.

"Wait." After Zhang Qingtian finished speaking, he turned and left the counter, and took back a small bag of brown rice weighing about three to four catties in a short while.She opened the bag, and there was a musty smell in her nostrils.

"Look, everything is fine."

Zhang Qingtian waved.

Su Xue poked her head over to look, the black, green and white rice, and the musty smell of rice with chaff and weeds made her swallow her saliva.

This……

"How do you cook this?"

"Go back and wash it, wash it, put it in the pot and cook it. When the rice soup boils, add two handfuls of wild vegetables and some salt, and it will be a meal. It doesn't cost much to fill you up."

Introduced by Zhang Qingtian.

Su Xue took a breath.

This……

Regardless of whether the three little guys could eat the brown rice, she couldn't.

"It's still not necessary, thank you comrade for your kindness."

 Come on~!
