On the square table in the kitchen, there are two bowls of porridge cooked with rice and corn crumbs, a bowl of fried shredded potatoes, freshly steamed Erhe noodle buns, and two boiled eggs next to them.
The steamed buns of Erhe Mian are white flour mixed with sweet potato noodles, or white flour mixed with corn flour and steamed.
If she can't afford to eat rice and white flour alone, Grandma Chen will add some rice and white flour to the whole grains, which can not only enrich the taste but also ensure nutrition.
Fortunately, at the beginning of spring, the commune canteen was disbanded. Otherwise, even if Grandma Chen could buy food, she would not be able to cook delicious food for Su Ruanruan.
The grandfather and grandson sat down to eat. While eating, Su Ruoran was thinking about how to get the food out of the space for Grandma Chen to eat.
Before he could think of a solution, Wang Aijuan came to the door first.
Su Ruanruan and Wang Aijuan had just graduated from junior high school and had not been at home for a few days.
The Wang family's Mrs. Wang is different from Grandma Chen. Mrs. Wang has never liked her granddaughter. Although Wang Aijuan has only been free at home for a few days, she has already disliked her and has been urging Wang Aijuan to work in the fields all day long to earn work points.
They belong to the Third Production Brigade of Hongqi Commune. Girls on the team who have not attended junior high school and are as old as Wang Aijuan can now earn eight work points.
Even if there are those who can't do it, they can still get six work points a day.
If you work hard for a few months, you will be able to share a lot more food when the autumn harvest comes.
Mrs. Wang coveted this portion of food, so how could she want Wang Aijuan to idle at home all day
If Wang Aijuan hadn't promised Mrs. Wang that she would be able to work as a temporary worker in the county textile factory, Mrs. Wang would have gone to work in the fields by grabbing Wang Aijuan's ears.
In order not to be like a mud-legged country boy with his face facing the loess and his back to the sky, Wang Aijuan had to come to Su Ruanruan early in the morning.
Listening to Wang Aijuan's shouts outside, Su Ruanruan was eating breakfast as usual. She didn't look as if nails were stuck in her butt when she heard Wang Aijuan's shouts.
Seeing her like this, Grandma Chen also laughed.
"We have grown up softly."
Su Ruanruan's face turned red when she heard this, "Breast!"
Is this saying that she was young and stupid before, so she was deceived by Wang Aijuan
"Okay, grandma won't talk anymore." Grandma Chen smiled and narrowed her eyes, "Now that Ruanruan has grown up, grandma won't have to worry about it in the future. That person outside -"
"Don't worry about it, I'll take care of it later."
Su Ruanruan said firmly, her face full of confidence. Seeing this, Grandma Chen didn't say anything more.
When the child grows up, he will have to fly by himself. She only needs to watch from the side.
Grandma Chen is still young and needs to work, but her job is light and she herds sheep for the production brigade.
The Third Production Brigade raises three sheep in total. There is no choice but to raise more sheep. These days, some people dig grass roots and eat tree bark. There is no grass to feed the sheep.
In other words, Grandma Chen received a pension and food stamps every month, so she could ask Su Aimin's comrades in the county to buy food.
Otherwise, the grandfather and grandson would have starved to death just for the six work points they got from herding sheep.
After the meal, Su Ruoran and Grandma Chen cleaned up the dishes, tables and chairs, and then walked to the gate together.
Wang Aijuan, who had been shouting outside for a long time, felt like smoke was coming out of her throat.
Seeing that the door finally opened, Wang Aijuan opened her mouth and cursed, "Su Ruanruan, you damn-"
Before she finished her words, Wang Aijuan saw Granny Chen with a gloomy face. She didn't dare to continue speaking the rest of the words, and was so stunned that her yellow face turned red.
"Chen...Grandma Chen."
