Liu Chen found Mu Dunzi and sat on it, breathing heavily. In later generations, he always drove everywhere. He walked too much these days, and his feet were really tired.

For dinner, we made cornmeal steamed buns, rice porridge, fried vegetables, washed cucumbers and tomatoes. It was basically this kind of food, not even a meat star was seen, and Liu Chen was used to it.

Sooner or later, he would have to ask Captain Liu for a letter of introduction. He would have to venture into the city and at least get some food back.

The protagonists in the novels he read were all reborn and made a lot of money. Even if he was underdeveloped, he had to get at least two kilograms of meat to satisfy his greed.

After work, Liu Jiefang's parents came back. They looked at the things on the chopping board, and their eyes widened. The 50 cents they spent were all for food. I didn't know how to buy some salt and soy sauce.

Wang Mudan was about to say something about Youdi. This Liu Chen is not sensible. Is her sister also ignorant?

"Mom, do you see what's on the chopping board?"

Youdi told Liu Chen the whole story of delivering the baby. Wang Mudan was very happy. Her son was really amazing. He had just saved Erniu's wife a few days ago, and now he went to the commune and saved another person.

God was really kind to her, giving her such a good son, such a capable son.

Liu Jiefang was smoking, feeling happy in his heart, and the smile on his lips never stopped. But he did not express joy, and he still said seriously that he should not take other people's things.

Youdi gave Wang Mudan a huge sum of one yuan, food stamps, and half a catty of meat stamps. Wang Mudan gave the money to Liu Chen, saying that Liu Chen got it from saving people. Liu Chen did not refuse, and he thought about taking this

For one dollar, I had to go to Captain Liu and write a letter of introduction. He had to go to the county seat to see if there was any way to make a fortune.

Wang Mudan put away the cans and candies again, waiting for her daughters' children to come to eat during the Chinese New Year.

Youdi quickly prepared the meal and put it on the chopping board. Liu Chen picked up a cornmeal bun, took a bite, swallowed it hard, his throat tightened, and he choked, then he picked up the big bowl and started eating it.

Porridge. Otherwise you will definitely choke to death.

He took another cucumber and took a bite. It was sweet and refreshing. Youdi iced it with cold water and it tasted delicious. He also took a tomato and took a bite. It was sweet and sour, and it was also crunchy and waxy, not like the later generations.

It has been ripened with pesticides and has no taste.

"Grandma and grandpa, we are here."

"Son, your second sister Pandi and the others are here."

Liu Chen had already heard Youdi talk about the situation at home.

Liu Youdi's second sister Liu Pandi and second brother-in-law Zhang Youcai came with their children. Liu Pandi was from the Hongshan production team next door, which was not very far away, more than ten miles away.

"You are talented, Pandi, you are here, are you satisfied?"

"Abba, Ama, we have all overcome it."

Zhang Youcai said as he took out the wild mushrooms he took his children to pick from the mountain and put them on the chopping board.

Liu Jiefang put down the steamed bun in his hand. He knew that as long as these children came, he would not be able to eat any more of his family's meals. He was used to coming here every time.

The second daughter, Liu Pandi, lived a hard life. Her mother-in-law and father-in-law fell to death while going up the mountain to collect firewood a few years after she got married. The daughter worked hard to raise three children. The daughter and son-in-law did not have enough food to eat while working, so the children came to eat every few days.

.

"Grandma and grandpa, I haven't eaten enough."

Pandi's youngest daughter, Zhang Xiaoli, is three years old. She has a pouty mouth, a braided pigtail, a pink face, sniffing snot, and looking longingly at the steamed buns and porridge on the chopping board.

"Come, auntie, feed me porridge." Youdi held Xiaoli on her lap.

"Mom, this is my brother, right?"

Liu Pandi looked at the tall man in front of her with a handsome face. His skin was fairer and more delicate than those in the team. This Liu Chen was tanned at work, otherwise he would still be fair, and he would have a pretty face.

"Yes, this is your brother. His name is Liu Chen. The name Captain Liu agreed upon. It means rich and powerful."

Wang Mudan talked a lot in one breath. She couldn't wait to talk about Liu Chen's good qualities. Mom, I think she looks good no matter what.

"Son, this is your second sister, and this is your second brother-in-law."

"Second sister, second brother-in-law."

Liu Chen took out the Daqianmen cigarette and handed it to his second brother-in-law Zhang Youcai.

When I took the cigarette, I saw that it was at the front door. This cigarette was not something that ordinary people could afford. It was smoked by a senior leader. This brother had everything he had.

He gave another one to Liu Jiefang. Liu Jiefang did not smoke, but continued to smoke his own pot. The good thing was left to his son. He felt that this cigarette was boring, but the pot was strong.

"Okay, okay, my little brother looks so handsome."

Liu Pandi's hands were shaking with excitement. A few days ago, she heard from someone in the team that her parents had rescued a boy and recognized his son.

"I have a younger brother. Please be nice to me from now on, but don't dare to bully me again."

Pandi walked up to her husband and said proudly.

"I don't dare, I don't dare."

Pandi walked up to her two sons, hugged her sons and said, "This is your uncle, please call me uncle quickly."

"uncle"

"uncle"

The eight-year-old brother of these two boys is named Zhang Xiaojun, and the six-year-old brother is named Zhang Xiaobing.

"Uncle will bring you something delicious."

Liu Chen is not called uncle for nothing, he deserves a greeting gift. He took out the candies and cans that Zhang Yanjun gave him today.

"Wow, it's candy, it's canned food."

The children screamed as if they had discovered a new world.

These days, unless you can eat a few candies or a few cans during the Chinese New Year, it is very rare to see them. Who would buy this? They can’t afford food. Who has the spare money to buy this? No matter whether they are full or not.

Hungry.

"I can't eat, I want to eat candy, I want to eat canned food."

Xiaoli quickly climbed down from her aunt's lap and ran to Liu Chen.

"Uncle, I want to overcome, I want to overcome."

Xiaoli suddenly looked at the candies and cans in Liu Chen's hand with her big eyes flashing, and kept swallowing her saliva.

Zhang Xiaojun and Zhang Xiaobing even rushed to Liu Chen's side. They were so close that the first to get closer to the water or the tower was the first to get the moon.

"Okay, everything is there, everything is there."

Each person took out a few candies, opened the can, took chopsticks, and put a can in each person's mouth.

"Good."

“Good luck”

"It's so good. I still want to take a sip, just a small sip."

Liu Chen each took another piece and put it in his mouth.

Pandi and Youcai were also shocked when they saw it. How could there be so many delicious foods in this year? Those were cans and candies. Who would usually buy this? I heard that my little brother jumped into the river and was rescued.

Yes, how come there is so much food?

I don't understand, I really don't understand.

Liu Pandi snatched the candies from the children's hands. You ate the cans and kept the candies for the New Year.

"I don't, I want to eat Tangtang." Xiaoli gave up and pouted, tears streaming down her face instantly.

"Here, uncle will give it to you." He said and took out two more and put them in Xiaoli's hand, then hugged Xiaoli up.

It’s true that crying children get candy.

"I like you, you are so kind, please give me some sugar."

Xiaoli said and kissed Liu Chen's face. Her nose was mixed with tears, and Liu Chen's face was covered with kisses.

Liu Chen didn't dislike it at all. He smiled and scratched Xiaoli's nose and said, "Little naughty one."

"Uncle, I want it too, I want it too."

The two boys watched their sister ask for the candy. They knew it was impossible to ask their mother for it, so they had better come and hug Liu Chen's thigh.

"Give."

Liu Chen took out a few more candies and gave them to Zhang Xiaojun and Zhang Xiaobing.

Peel off the candy wrapper and put the candy in your mouth. The aroma of the fruit candy fills your entire mouth. It's sweet, so sweet.

"Uncle is so kind"

"Uncle is so kind"

Youcai and Pandi on the side looked at it with their eyes wide open. They really wished that they were children at this time and could eat such delicious snacks, but they had grown up long ago. They couldn't compete with their children for food.

"Brother, you can't share all the candies. The eldest and third sisters are coming in a few days, so you have to leave some for their families." Pandi quickly collected the candies in Liu Chen's hand and placed them in her mother's hands.

Wang Mudan took Pandi and sat down, and the mother and daughter started chatting. Knowing that her daughter was curious, she told the story of Liu Chen and Youdi rescuing people in the commune.

Pandi is very proud and proud to have such a powerful younger brother.

Pandi told her mother that the eldest sister was pregnant again. This was the fourth child. She didn’t know whether it would be a boy or a girl. If it was a girl again, the eldest sister would have suffered enough. Because the first three were girls, in the My husband's family has no status, and she is often bullied by her husband, saying that all her children are losers, that she cannot give birth to a boy, and that she cannot continue the family lineage. The eldest sister is an honest person, and she never dares to say anything. Even after being beaten several times, she never She didn't go back to her parents' house to tell her. She knew it would be useless if she said it. There was no one in her parents' family who could support her, and her parents were old. Telling her would only make the old man feel distressed.

Wang Mudan listened to what Pandi said and wiped her tears. If her daughter was not doing well, it would be like cutting her heart with a knife. But there was no way. Her eldest daughter had the same fate as herself and could not give birth to a child. My son is looked down upon by others and I feel offended. Think about it, I gave birth to four daughters in total. When my mother-in-law was alive, I don’t know how many looks she received and how many grievances she suffered. In this era, male children are the descendants, and male children are the descendants. When you grow up, you are a labor force and you earn a lot of work points, but a girl is a loser.

Liu Jiefang smoked the pot and sighed. He felt distressed but could do nothing.

"Mom, let's go see eldest sister tomorrow."

Everyone chatted casually again. It was getting dark soon. Wang Mudan urged Pandi and the others to go back. It was getting dark and it was difficult to walk back. There were no street lights now and the mountain road was bumpy and bumpy. It was very difficult to walk. The adults were okay. , children are still not safe. Sometimes it would be bad if they encounter some wild animals on the road.

"Mom, there are sweets at my uncle's house, and I don't want to go home." The children hugged Liu Chen's legs and said.

"Okay, don't go back." Liu Chen touched Xiaojun Xiaobing's head and said.

"I have to go to work tomorrow. What can I do if I don't go back?"

Pandi pulled Zhang Xiaojun and Zhang Xiaobing over.

This is the busy farming period, and the wheat in the fields has not been harvested yet.
