Before nightfall, everything in Xu Nannan's hand was sold out, not even a towel left.

Song Guihua and Xu Gui were supposed to stay at home to help, but Xu Nannan refused to let them go to work, and sorted the food at home by himself. When I came back at night, the food had already piled up half the hut.

"This is the first time our family has piled up so much grain. How much is this?"

"Two thousand catties." Xu Nannan said a rough figure. Because I wrote down the account by myself, and no one knew about it, the food exchanged in Xujia Village was only a thousand catties, and I bought it on Taobao and added it to it.

With so many people coming to exchange food, they would never go to each family to ask and then check.

Song Guihua didn't doubt it, but just sighed, "There are only so many precious things in the village. If you want more, you can't get them in exchange. Nannan, do you have enough?"

Xu Nannan said, "Enough is enough." She also knew that there was not much food in the village, so she didn't plan to exchange any more. Even if they wanted to exchange, she didn't want to come. There are too many food exchanges, and it will be difficult for the villagers to survive the winter.

In the evening, Xu Nannan went to Xu Gensheng's house with some food. She was going to the town to send a telegram tomorrow, and she wanted Xu Gensheng to help find some strong laborers to help move the things to the town. Give a bag of brown sugar.

When he heard that it was this matter, Xu Gensheng agreed without thinking about it.

Brown sugar is an expensive item, and it is not easy to buy it usually. Now, if you can do some physical work, who would not be willing to do it if you can get such a good thing. At that time, I'm afraid that people would rather not have the half-day work points, and would be willing to move things for her.

This is not well advertised. Otherwise, there are too many applicants, and people will be offended.

Liu Dahong said, "You have to pay attention to the matter of this child Nannan. I can see that this child is a promising child, even more promising than her father Xu Jiansheng. This is really a good bamboo shoot."

Who has no selfishness, Liu Dahong naturally hopes to form a good relationship in his heart, so that when his family needs help in the future, there will be someone he can turn to.

Not to mention anything else, my grandson will grow up in the future, and Nan Nan's child has also been in the city for more than ten years, and he might be able to get a job in the city by then.

No one can tell what is going on in this world.

Xu Gensheng took advantage of the darkness to look for someone at night. Tell everyone about Xu Nannan.

Today's incident is quite lively. Everyone knows that Xu Nannan is now promising, and they know that she can get industrial tickets. Of course, they are happy to make a good relationship, and they also give brown sugar back. This is a good thing, and no one rejects it. , patted his chest and promised to leave home early tomorrow morning.

Sure enough, the next morning, before he had time to go to work, several strong uncles and brothers in the village came to Song Guihua's house to help carry food.

Naturally, Xu Gui would not miss such a proud thing, and hired half a day's work to arrange for everyone to move things. Ten people, in a daze, carried the food.

They are all people who are used to working. They put hundreds of catties on their bodies, and they don't have to pant when they walk.

Xu Nannan was also worried that they were tired, so he asked them to walk slowly behind, and rest for a while when they were tired, without rushing. Anyway, the car from the mine will not come so fast. She herself first went to town to send a telegram.

Unexpectedly, not long after Xu Nannan sent the telegram, all of them had already moved the food to the station.

Lao Gao, who was piled with sacks, stared at everyone in the town.

I went to the supply and marketing cooperative in the town to buy brown sugar, one catty per person, and my uncles were still embarrassed, and their ears turned red when they rubbed their hands.

"It's so embarrassing. I didn't do much work. We usually do these things, so we're not too tired."

Xu Nannan didn't say much to them, and directly put the things into their arms, "If you don't take it, how can I go back to the village to collect food next time? It seems that I have to rely on my uncles and brothers to help me move it out. Don't be polite to me."

It's all said that this is up, and everyone will not delay. After all, I want it in my heart. This is a good thing. Take it home and make some sugar water for the children at home, and it can also replenish your body.

Everyone wanted to go back to work, Xu Gui was worried about Xu Nannan, so he asked everyone to go back first, and he waited here with Xu Nannan, the car from the lighting mine came, so he could help.

Seeing that Xu Gui looked happy, Xu Nannan didn't delay. She also knew that Uncle Gui liked to save face, so she thought it was a decent thing.

On the other side of the mine, after receiving the news from Xu Nannan, the logistics department went to contact the mine's truck to pull it.

Now it's time to walk the tractor. For a while, food came back one after another, and the walking tractor never stopped. After receiving the task from the logistics department, I immediately prepared to leave the factory.

Zhu Fang heard at the Mining Committee that Xu Nannan had obtained grain, and the mine was about to pick it up, so she immediately applied to pick up Xu Nannan, to see if there was anything she could help.

The hand-held tractor bumped on the road for nearly two hours before reaching the town.

Xu Nannan and Xu Gui were eating big steamed buns and pickles. When they saw someone coming, they immediately stuffed the steamed buns into their mouths and got ready to work.

Seeing Zhu Fang get off the car, Xu Nannan felt a little nervous. When Xu Gui and the driver moved the goods together, Xu Nannan asked, "Is something wrong?" She knew that if something happened, Zhu Fang would not I will come here to find her when I have nothing to do.

"There is something wrong." Zhu Fang looked a little bit indignant. Tell Xu Nannan about Li Jing's work in the mine.

"The Mining Committee didn't give an answer, but the people outside were fluctuating, and many people started to move around. They wanted the little room in their house, and they were waiting for their mother to move to your place to make room. I haven't seen it before. Such a person. Other families are hoping that the children at home will be good, but if they are not good, they have to help cover it up. What are they? house."

"It's just the two small rooms. At other times, your father... Director Xu and his wife live in one room. They have five children, including your two sisters. Can you sleep comfortably?"

"Of course I can sleep well. When the time comes, we will build a hut in the yard and put Xiaoman and I inside. Aren't they still living in a small room?" Xu Nannan said with a faint smile about Li Jing's plan.

"This... This is too shameless." Zhu Fang is annoyed now thinking about it. "I'm also responsible for this matter. If I hadn't asked Wu Qing to go with you back then, I wouldn't have leaked the news. Why didn't Jiang Lili kill her for that black heart."

In the past, she thought that Jiang Lili was going too far with Wu Qing, but now she can't wait for Jiang Lili to focus on her actions.

Xu Nannan said, "This matter can't be hidden, the county is so big, there will always be news of it leaking, don't think too much, besides, they will definitely be able to do this matter?"

"Do you have a solution?" Zhu Fang asked.

Xu Nannan said, "It's not urgent. I'll go back to the county later. I won't go back to the mine. I have to go on business. Just tell the mine that I'm in a hurry to find grain. Our mine uses grain At that time, I would not be asked to go back to solve the house now. Without my consent, they could live in directly, which is against the law. Xiaoman, please help me to watch over these two days, don’t Let them make trouble with Xiao Man."

"Don't worry, I'll watch every day when I go to and from school. I took her to sleep in the dormitory at night, and I didn't let her go home to sleep alone." Zhu Fang said.

Seeing Zhu Fang's arrangement so well, Xu Nannan felt grateful from the bottom of his heart. People regard her as a good friend, and she will do her best to help Zhu Fang in the future.

But this girl seems to be living more comfortably than herself, and her stepfather and stepmother dare not look for her, Director Zhu is not a vegetarian.

Knowing that Xu Nannan has a plan, the stone in Zhu Fang's heart also fell.

After returning to the county seat, Zhu Fang dragged the grain back to the mine, while Xu Nannan continued his business trip.

Of course the business trip is real. Before this matter is resolved, she has to let the mine see her contribution and let everyone know that she was still looking for food for everyone before they calculated her house.

But before the trip, there is one thing to do.

Xu Nannan picked up something and went to Yu's house again.

Since Xu Nannan moved, occasionally when he came back from get off work at night, he would give some food to the two elders of the Yu family, sometimes some seasonal fruits and vegetables, sometimes some fine grains.

The two elders are lonely and widowed old people, but they are also dual-employees. They have money in their hands and are not short of things. But Xu Nannan would come to deliver some things from time to time. This was to show respect to the elderly, and it was out of his heart, which made both of them feel very comfortable. The salted egg snacks that the factory gave to the retired workers were also delivered to Xu Nannan.

Walking around like relatives.

Seeing Xu Nannan coming, Yu Donglai was surprised, "Why are you here at this time?" After all, a person who has lived most of his life knows that this situation is wrong.

Xu Nannan said dejectedly, "Grandpa Yu, I might ask you for a favor this time."

"What do you say, we don't pay attention to these things, I still have a little relationship in the county."

Yu Donglai thought that Xu Nannan would go back when encountering difficulties, and he was going to leave the relationship. He has been in the county for so many years, and he has also met many people. His son's comrade-in-arms is still in the county's armed forces department.

"Don't worry about it, Grandpa Yu, it's just that there are some twists and turns in the house, and you need to express your opinion at that time."

Xu Nannan related the uproar with Yu Donglai.

Yu Donglai was astonished to hear her method.

In this way, the Xu family is really stealing chickens and losing money. "You want it. According to what you said, their house was taken back, and someone took it back immediately. It will not be so easy to divide the house in the future."

Xu Nannan said helplessly, "I don't want to be too extreme, otherwise I wouldn't let them make such a fuss over the years. In the past few years, every time Xiaoman and I went back to our hometown, we had to make a fuss. Originally, we wanted to go outside Lived, and finally lived a clean life in the future, but now it seems that they still can't see my side. In order for Xiaoman and I to live in peace in the future, we must give them a hard time, so that we can live an honest life in the future .”

Yu Donglai sighed.

He is also a parent himself, so he naturally hopes that his children will be filial. When he was a child, he often took care of his son very strictly. After his son was gone, he realized that as a parent, you should not be too subjective with your children, but treat your children with heart.

As for Nan Nan's parents, it's obviously not because they don't care, but because they don't care about their children, and even have bad intentions.

A father who is not loving and a son who is not filial is also an ancient law.

"Okay, you just go about your business, and I will do as you said when the time comes."

With Yu Donglai agreeing to this matter, Xu Nannan's matter was half done, and he planned to go outside for a few more days and bring some food back when the time came. It will be easy to handle later.

After Xu Nannan left, Yu Donglai said to Grandma Yu, "It's not easy to watch this child live. There will be more people staring at the house in the future."

Yu Donglai suddenly felt that it was a good thing or a bad thing to give this house to the children, and it might have harmed his two children.

"How about... After a while, let's find a suitable opportunity and move in together? At that time, no one can say anything." Yu Donglai asked, seeing Grandma Yu hesitated, and said, "We have The factory also often distributes pensions, my health is good, I don’t burden others, and I can also subsidize their sisters, we are not a burden.”

Grandma Yu said, "I understand, but I just don't want to part with this place. This place is full of my son's shadow. I can always think of the past."

"No matter how much we think about it, it's vain. It's better to leave a queen for our son. In the future, we will be gone, and there will be someone to help us remember."

Yu Donglai is a real person, and he had this idea at the beginning. In recent years, some people are interested in adopting their children into their families. But they don't like it. Either it's too expensive, or the adults in the family have plans.

Even if it is an adoption, you have to choose a smart and good-behaved son for your son.
