Chapter 24 24: Toothless Child

When they went to town, Su Sanzhu became uneasy after hearing this.

He wanted to go too, he was bored to death at home.

"What are you going to do? Are you going to add to the trouble or be a hindrance?"

"Mom, don't I want to help big brother and the others?
I can share some of the burden if I go, the mountain road..."

The old lady was dubious and confused, could she really change her gender?

He came back from hunting in the mountains and hid in the house without saying a word. He also helped with housework on weekdays.

His attitude towards Xia Ying is not as domineering as before.

I carry water to wash my face and feet every day, and wash my children’s diapers...

"Mom, just let me follow you and I promise to be honest, okay?"

"Go, go, be at peace."

"Mom, why do I feel that my third brother has changed so much?

He used to be such a irritable person, but now he talks like a little sheep. "Xie Lianhua complained.

"A sheep in wolf's clothing is still a wolf no matter what. Don't be fooled." The old lady sighed and returned to the house.

"Second brother and sister, what do you think?"

"Not much."

"How can you say this? I think Third Brother has really changed.

Although this is sometimes unreliable, it seems to have changed a lot compared to before. "

"Ask your third brother and sister about this. Third brother and sister, what do you think?"

Tong Xiaying looked at the man's leaving figure, and she was shaken in her heart, "But, it's possible. No one is a saint, and no one can make mistakes. Maybe after this time..."

Ah, bah, can you say this?This woman must have been kicked in the head by a donkey.

Her mother, who cares about food but not about beatings, has forgotten about selling girls?

There was no defense in my heart, absolutely.

When they arrived at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, Old Man Su was muttering about how to send the third child away.

If they followed this person in, they would know how much money they had in their hands.

He turned around and decided to think of some way to steal the money.

Su Sanzhu looked at the figure in the corner and exhaled, "Dad, I won't go in with you.

I'll go to a friend's house and wait for you at the entrance of the town when it's almost noon. "

"Huh? What kind of friend are you again? Let me tell you, don't bet on me again. Next time, I will chop off my hands for you. Believe it or not?" Old Man Su sounded the alarm.

He didn't believe that this man could change his ways.

I must want to gamble again!

"Dad, why do you miss me so much? I don't have half a penny in my pocket now, so why should I bet?"

"Then I won't go. I'll accompany you and my eldest and second brothers to sell food." Su Sanzhu put his hands in his hands and prepared to go inside.

"What are you going to do? It's just you, making eight hundred bad intentions a day.

I warn you, don’t gamble or borrow money. If you dare to gamble, I will not recognize you as my son! "

"You see if I can do it, then it's over." Old Man Su gritted his teeth.

"I know, Dad, I'm just going to sit down. I won't gamble. I'm penniless now, and I don't have any money even if I want to."

Looking at Su Sanzhu's retreating figure, they all wondered, "Dad, has this person really changed?"

"I don't care if he changes it or not, he just pretends to show it to us.

Let's go in, finish changing early, and go back early. "Old man Su withdrew his gaze.

The eggs were sold for 150 cents each. A total of 52.5 eggs were sold for [-] yuan.

Rice still cost [-] cents per catty and sold for fifty catties. Potatoes cost eight cents per catty and sold for eighty catties.

In total, 16.4 yuan.

I brought less stuff than last time, but it was enough to buy a lot of annual groceries.

The director of the supply and marketing cooperative purchased so many eggs and happily received them.

During the Chinese New Year and the holidays, the supply and marketing cooperative was crowded with people, and it was very lively inside.

A staff member wearing a military green coat led the father and son.

It didn't take long for the necessary things to be purchased, and the staff even took out the defective cloth that the director had told them about.

Flawed cloth is cloth with some wear and tear in workmanship and cannot be sold together with intact cloth.

It was sold very cheaply, especially as the director told me, it was just cabbage price.

There were not many defective fabrics, so Old Man Su bought some extra fabrics, which was enough to make new clothes and shoes for everyone in the family.I still want to buy cotton, but cotton is in short supply, so I can’t buy it.

Old Man Su made a note to ask the old lady to come up with a solution when she went back. The old lady was smart and capable and would definitely be able to think of a solution.

Seeing tiger-head shoes and a cute tiger-head cotton hat on the counter, Mr. Su thought of his little granddaughter and bought them immediately.

The little granddaughter is cute, and she will definitely be even cuter when she wears it.

Those eyes were so happy that they narrowed into slits.

I bought the red cotton cloth for Su Hanlin. This little baby wants to wear something festive, and I also bought a few flower buttons.

My old lady is good at embroidery. I will ask her to embroider some blessing patterns later. It will definitely be much better than the ready-made ones outside.

A set of ready-made clothes for a baby costs seven or eight yuan, which is equivalent to thirty or forty kilograms of rice.

The old man couldn't bear it, so he decided to buy the cloth and make it at home.

I still have cornmeal and white flour at home, so I bought some glutinous rice flour, brown sugar, white sugar, fruit candy... peanuts and melon seeds are indispensable.

There is no need to buy meat and vegetables, they are all available at home. I can’t finish the vegetables grown in the house every day, they keep growing.

Thinking of the women at home, whose hands were cracked from working at home in the winter, Mr. Su bought Bangbang oil and Pechoin for his mother and the women at home.

I couldn't stop buying them and bought four backpacks worth of stuff.

The 20 yuan that Mrs. Su had paid for was all spent.

"I should be able to have a good year now, Dad, are we going back now?"

After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, the father and son were cautious and walked around the town for a few times before returning home.

By the time I got home, it was already past five o'clock in the evening.

Their steps are quite fast, otherwise they would have to get there after dark.

The father and son were reluctant to eat in the town, so they came back hungry.

Mrs. Su felt distressed, "Tell me, why are you not in town and come back after lunch? It doesn't cost much."

“Then a meal in the town is too expensive and not cost-effective, so it’s better to go home.

This is not how we spend our money. Don’t you usually ask us to be more frugal?

It’s not a big deal if you don’t eat this meal. "

Mrs. Su had thought of it a long time ago. Xie Lianhua took out the hot food from the pot. The firewood in the stove was not extinguished. She kept the food warm while she waited for the father and son to come back.

The father and son sat at the dining table to eat, while the old lady was responsible for cleaning up.

He took everything out one by one and gave the hand oil to his three sisters-in-law.

The three sisters-in-law opened the lid curiously, wiped a little on their hands, and smelled their hands from time to time.

It smells so good. They all know that this Pechoin is very expensive.

The girls got tiaras and the boys got some glass beads.

I also ate some candied fruit candies and the like.

The room was filled with the sound of swallowing and a few words being said from time to time.

Flatten the candy wrapper and carefully store it in the iron box.

After keeping it for a long time, when you open the iron box, you will find the fragrance of fruit candies.

"Mom, can my sister have some candies? The toffee smells so good." Qiuyue raised her head and looked at her mother.

"No, my sister is still young and doesn't have teeth yet." Tong Xiaying touched the second daughter's head, knowing that she was thinking about her fourth daughter, her eyes were full of softness.

"Oh, my sister is so pitiful..." Qiuyue glanced at the little person looking at her on the bed.

When the adults weren't paying attention, Qiuyue climbed onto the bed and peeled off the candy wrapper, "Sister, take a lick and taste it."

The candy was handed to her mouth, and she couldn't help but swallow.

It smells so good, so creamy and milky, that it makes my mouth itch.

Su Hanlin didn't want to disappoint her sister, so she stuck out her pink tongue and licked the toffee.

There is a milky-sweet taste in your mouth, which is completely different from the taste of malted milk and goat's milk.

Su Hanlin almost subconsciously opened her mouth and took a bite.

As a result, I forgot...she is just a toothless child now.

Wow, I cried super loudly.

Su Qiuyue immediately retracted the toffee, stuffed it into her room, and slipped out of the room.

When Tong Xiaying heard the noise, she turned around and saw her daughter crying.

She couldn't suppress the pain from her gums, and she learned not to do things inappropriate for her age at an inappropriate stage.

Qiuyue was extremely happy. She fed her sister candy, but her sister felt sorry for her and was reluctant to bite her.

He ran away fast and didn't get scolded by his mother!
