The old lady stuffed a persimmon cake into Yunshang's mouth, and turned around to ask Gu Shinian, "Sinian, how did I hear that your family is moving to the provincial capital? Your mother doesn't want to work anymore?" Zhang Chunni is a county The well-known Iron Lady in the county was once a model worker, which is a real honor. The workers and women in various factories in the county did not know Zhang Chunni. Zhang Chunni had just revealed that she was going to move, and in just a few days, everyone in half the county knew about it. Everyone knew that Zhang Chunni's non-human ex-husband was in the provincial capital and was a high-ranking officer in the army. They also knew that Zhang Chunni was going to move to the provincial capital, so they inevitably muttered a few words in private. Some people thought that Gu Huaiqing had robbed Gu Guangzong, but Zhang Chunni was outraged and worried that Gu Guangzong would be treated harshly by his stepmother, so she planned to move to the provincial capital to protect Gu Guangzong nearby. Some people think that Zhang Chunni's eldest son was taken back by Gu Huaiqing, and the younger son went to the provincial capital to study again. Worried that the younger one would be snatched away by Gu Huaiqing, she planned to go to the provincial capital to look after her younger son. But more people think that Zhang Chunni was kicked out of the house by Gu Huaiqing because of her big belly, and her son was snatched away by Gu Huaiqing more than ten years later. The old lady Han didn't know about Gu Huaiqing's dismissal from the military, but when she heard about Zhang Chunni's move from the street, she couldn't help worrying about her. Gu Shinian did not expect that even Mrs. Han would know that the family was moving to the provincial capital. She put down the tea mug in her hand and replied, "My mother has been in poor health for the past two years. She worked hard, and she The back hurts so much that I can’t straighten up. It happened that there was a good quarrel in the provincial capital, and the work was easier than it is now. In addition, Pangui was working in the shoe factory in the provincial capital, so my mother thought about transferring the job there. Settle down in the provincial capital." The most important thing is that Zhang Chunni wants to watch the miserable lives of Gu Huaiqing and Zhou Mingjuan up close! After hearing this, the old lady Han sighed, "That's good. Your mother is too strong, and she can work faster than a strong young man. Her body is exhausted by herself. Change her body." A light job is also good." At least a few more years of life can be lived. Yun Shang took a sip of sugar water, and answered inwardly: Zhang Chunni doesn't want to force herself, but if she doesn't treat herself as a strong young man, how can she support her three children? Zhang Mingyang leaned over curiously, "Brother Shi Nian, then you will be from the provincial capital in the future, so you won't go back to Qinghe County?" , I have to come back with A Chang to have a look at the New Year in the future." Yun Shang also nodded beside him, "That's right, Second Brother Gu will come back with me to see my grandpa and grandma, as well as grandpa and grandma Han ..." "And me!" Zhang Mingyang quickly raised his hand, "You and Brother Shi Nian have to come back to see me too." "Okay, when I come back to see you, I also need to see Aunt Han and Uncle Zhang." Yun Shang tilted Zhang Mingyang With a glance, he echoed his words. Seeing the two little ones getting together and muttering and playing, the old lady Han got off the kang with a smile, ready to cook some delicious treats. Gu Shinian hurriedly handed the cloth bag at hand to the old lady Han, "Grandma Han, these are some delicacies and air-dried game. I brought them back from the Northeast with A Chang. You and Grandpa Han have a taste." There are only two catties of dried shiitake mushrooms and a piece of dried wild boar in the cloth bag, but the bag is so bulging that Mrs. Han can't help but look straight at it. The Han family is considered a big family in the county, with two sons, one works in the military region of the capital, and the other sits in an office in the provincial capital. Even the daughter and son-in-law are well-known figures in the county. Ordinarily, the conditions of the Han family are so good, there should be no shortage of food, but the county is really struggling this year, not to mention fine grains, even coarse grains are in short supply, and the farmers can't even fill their stomachs, and they can't afford to feed pigs. Can't afford chicken. Even if the old couple of the Han family had no shortage of money tickets, they still couldn't buy meaty food that could replenish oil and water. The piece of pork that Gu Shinian and Yunshang gave could be said to have been sent to the heart of Old Madam Han. It's just that food is so expensive now, and meat is even more rare. She accepted two children who are so old and meaty,

Does it fit? Seeing Mrs. Han carrying the cloth bag with a troubled expression on her face, Yunshang hurriedly said, "Grandma Han, this is wild pork. I and Brother Gu brought it back specially for everyone to try. Every family has it. You just accept it, and get me some food and wine for Grandpa Han." The old lady Han is also a cool person, and the expression on her face immediately loosened when she heard Yun Shang say this, "Okay, then I will enjoy Chang Nan's blessing once, and taste it." Taste the wild boar meat. Ouch, your Grandpa Han has something to eat today." Taking advantage of Mrs. Han's cooking time, Gu Shinian asked Zhang Mingyang about the situation in the county, knowing that the county was short of food. Food, the situation is not very good recently. Because of the lack of food, the winery in the county has been closed for a long time, and many people who went to the food station late could not receive the food supply. A person who collapses on the side of the street and cannot get up while walking. When Yunshang thought of coming to Han's house, most of the people she saw on the road had skinny faces and sallow faces, and even met a worker who had to sit on the side of the road to rest for half a day after walking a short distance, her heart slowly sank. The situation in the county is more severe and difficult than she imagined. I don't know whether the higher authorities will allocate relief food to the county. When it was near noon, Han Shan and Zhang Haiyang entered the door one after the other. Seeing Yun Shang and Gu Shinian coming over, they also brought a piece of wild pork to the house. His eyes lit up with joy, and he kept talking Swallow. Zhang Haiyang was also very happy to see the two of them, he teased Yun Shang a few words, and then took Gu Shinian to the side room to talk for a long time, and when it was time to eat, he even drank a couple of small wines with Han Shan. The north wind that had been roaring all morning finally stopped, and after dinner, a thick layer of snow had accumulated in the yard. Yun Shang put on the army bag containing persimmon cakes and red dates, grabbed Gu Shinian's hand, bid farewell to the Han family and the reluctant Zhang Mingyang, and walked out of the yard with a heavy foot and a shallow foot. "Second Brother Gu, the sky is so cloudy, it doesn't look like this snow will be small." Gu Shinian looked up at the sky, and then at the snow that was falling like goose feathers, he sighed secretly, feeling a faint feeling in his heart. guess. Warm grasped Yun Chang's hand tightly, and asked in a very calm voice, "A Chang, what do you think?" Yun Chang could hardly smile anymore. It’s almost the twelfth lunar month now, and there will be another heavy snowfall, and the temperature will drop suddenly. Coupled with hunger, how should everyone’s life go on?
