Chapter 20

According to Pandi, Ding's second child and third child are both working as accountants for others, while Ding's fourth child, he follows the salesman in the same alley.

The Ding family's property is all rented out, and the Ding family did not plant it.
In previous years, the Ding family would leave enough food for the whole family until the end of the year after collecting grain rent from the tenant farmers, and then sell it.

Although there is no harvest this year, but with extra preparations, the Ding family will not feel famine so quickly.

What caused Ding's family to fall into the quagmire of grabbing grain was the government's forced requisitions at the beginning of the famine, and after the local residents' grain cabinets were emptied, there was no chance of relief, and the county was surrounded by floods.

Having had the bad experience of being trapped and besieged, Mrs. Li should not care about money anymore!

Pandi exchanged glances with her and urged Anping: "Eat quickly, go to the kitchen and drink a couple of sips of water to wash away the taste in your mouth."

Anping, who was holding the remaining piece of candy, did not immediately stuff the candy into his mouth, but handed it to Ding Xuewei.

Ding Xuewei pushed his wrist very satisfied: "Eldest sister has eaten a lot, you eat."

*
When we returned to the front yard, it was already dark, and the rain that had been falling smoothly for the past few days came as promised, and the two families who had packed up slept and talked.

When the four of Ding Xuewei and her brother stepped into the drowsy room in the middle, Mrs. Wang gave her a very unfriendly look, and then coaxed Wanxin without paying attention to their siblings, while Mrs. Li, after smiling at them, also Nothing to say, Wanyi who patted her sleeping was soft and kind. As for the sister-in-law Wenjing, she sat on the edge of the bed next to Xiao Li's bedding with a look of bitterness and hatred.

"Xuewei, your bedding seems a little wet."

Ding Xuewei didn't hold much hope for the timid and obedient sister-in-law in the novel, Wen Jing, after getting in touch with her.

But sitting in front of other people's quilts and saying that your quilts are wet is something human can do?
Silently, Ding Xuewei went over and looked around, but this time she felt bad.

It's a little wet here, but there is no dripping, okay?

"Ah!" Mrs. Li looked back in surprise, "Wen Jing, why didn't you tell me after you played around for a long time?"

"!" He felt that the little girl he had mentioned was extremely innocent.

After Xiao Li rolled her eyes at Wen Jing reproachfully, she raised her hand and patted her forehead in annoyance: "I'm also to blame for rushing in and out. I actually forgot that your quilts weren't dry."

"Xuewei, I didn't think you were dead before, so I didn't mess with you when you were baking the clothes and bedding. Don't be angry. The second aunt will ask your grandma to see if I can let you bake the bedding."

Xiao Li said that the wind is the rain, pointed to Wanyi, asked Wen Jing to help watch it, and then hurriedly walked outside the house.

Casting a glance at Wang who had nothing to do with her, Ding Xuewei called out to Pandi who was full of anger.

"Pandy, go and cover the door."

Thinking of what made her watch the wind before, Pandi's heart tightened, not only didn't get up to close the door, but also grabbed Ding Xuewei.

She is actually a little curious about the things that her elder sister always has when she needs them, but she is also a little curious about her own elder sister, but she is not at ease about others.

It's too strange to appear suddenly, and it's even stranger to be able to take it out suddenly.

As long as she thought about the reaction she would have if she stood in a different position, she would subconsciously reject the idea of ​​letting others see the strangeness of her eldest sister.

"Sister, the things we brought back are worth a lot of money, and should be able to buy a lot of dry firewood."

Ding Xuewei, who saw worry and anxiety from Pandi's beautiful almond eyes, was in a strange mood.

Pandi's eyes clearly told her not to act rashly!
"Look at my memory, I'm so happy and stupid, I don't even think about it!" Li Shi's voice came from one side, and the self-blame in the words was really sincere.

Ding Xuewei put away her strange mood and looked at Li Shi who entered the door.

Li Shi, who was behind the light, was full of annoyance: "Xuewei, Pandi, don't be angry with grandma. Grandma was also afraid of touching things before, thinking that Laidi could squeeze into the small bed with your sister-in-law and me I didn’t dispose of your bedding.”

"Mother, didn't you say that Laidi wouldn't waste so much firewood if he squeezed with us?" Wen Jing raised her small face, which was full of doubts only with eyes that closely resembled Li's.

Everyone: "..."

I was punctured by her sentence.

Li Shi, who was playing the emotional card, never thought that he would be sold so simply by his daughter, with that expression, really, as if he had swallowed hundreds of flies.

Quickly lowering her eyelids, Ding Xuewei, who had never suffered from a wimpy look, showed an uneasy look: "Grandma, Pandi and I got two more treasures. We originally planned to give them to Uncle Wu and Anping, but now that we think about it, we still have to sell them." Well, after selling it, you can not only buy food, but also buy more firewood, now, shopping should be easier!"

In order to prevent the raincoat from being exposed, she took it small when she took it. Fifth Uncle Wenjie was much taller than her, so even if he really wanted to give it to him, he would not be able to wear it. It's hard not to have his share of the attention of the only seedling.

This is just a reminder to Mrs. Li.

It is best to buy the things that should be bought early, so as not to be unable to buy them even if you have money.

Of course, she did not mention this sentence because she felt that Mrs. Li was stingy and would treat their siblings badly in the future, but because Mrs. Li's words sounded like she was blaming herself, but she was actually blaming their sisters for their sudden return.

There is no doubt that this step-grandmother is a proper yin and yang family.

When you take their things like this and think they are troublesome, you can imagine how double-sided they are usually!

In Ding Xuewei's heart, she directly labeled the stepmother who was fair and kind to her stepson described in the novel, and naturally lost two points of respect.

In normal times, even if Li could not understand what Ding Xuewei meant, she would still be able to hear her impoliteness, but this time it was different, her mind and eyes were all caught up by the words 'I and Pandi got two more treasures'.

As soon as Ding Xuewei finished speaking, she immediately grabbed Ding Xuewei and Pandi, and dragged them towards the door.

Little Li, who entered the door one step too late, stepped aside quickly, and blocked Laidi and Anping's way when they subconsciously followed.

"Your sisters have something to do, and I can't help you dry the bedding by myself. How about you help Second Aunt?"

They have already baked the quilts for their sisters, what else can Laidi and Anping say, of course they just nodded and followed Mrs. Li.

Soon, Mrs. Li took her siblings to the kitchen. In the dark room, only Wang's mother and daughter, Wen Jing and Wanyi, who was drowsy but not asleep, were left.

"Others die when they die, but their sisters are fine, so the flood didn't drown them, not only didn't drown them, but piles of treasures were taken out, Aunt Wanxin, believe it or not, if you don't know now Our family’s money to buy firewood is in danger, that girl Xuewei will never say anything about treasures.”
