Maybe it was embarrassing, but Xu Jiansheng didn't stay at home overnight and went back to the city in the afternoon. It is estimated that before leaving, the old lady left money for the old lady. At night, the old lady did not make things difficult for Xu Nannan and the sisters, but satirized Xu Nannan at the dinner table.
"A girl's film is a low life, so don't even think about climbing up."
"Don't blame me, your mother was a mean girl back then, that's why she gave birth to such a mean girl like you."
Xu Nannan's mother, Li Jing, was born in a landlord's family. But Li Jing is not the lady of the landlord's family, but the servant's daughter. At that time, servants were in business, and Xu Nannan's grandmother and grandfather were all sold to the landlord's house during the famine years to be servants, and even Li Jing was also a servant of the landlord's house. Before Liberation, Li Jing served the lady of the landlord's family for several years. So the old lady has always looked down on the Li family. At the beginning, it was also because Xu Jiansheng was fighting outside and his life and death were unknown, so the old lady agreed to their marriage.
But no one expected that Li Jing was so lucky that Xu Jiansheng not only survived, but also became a small cadre. Li Jing suddenly became the wife of an officer.
The old lady was out of balance now, and wanted to tease her daughter-in-law, but her son was assigned to work in the city, and the daughter-in-law followed. Later, the two sisters Xu Nannan came back. The old lady seized the opportunity.
A humble life, became the wife of an official, but couldn't bear a son, the old lady couldn't swallow this breath.
The old lady scolded Li Jing, but Xu Nannan had no opinion at all. The two daughters were so sick that the mothers didn't come back to take a look, which was worse than Xu Jiansheng. There is no need for her fake daughter to work hard for a mother and an old lady like her.
After the meal, the two sisters ate some biscuits in the room. With a full stomach, Xu Nannan scrubbed Xu Xiaoman's body, and then told Xu Xiaoman a story.
In the darkness, slowly only the sound of breathing remained.
After a long time, Xu Nannan called out, "Xiaoman?"
Xiaoman didn't answer, the little snoring sounded obviously that she was sleeping soundly.
Xu Nannan then entered the Taobao store with his eyes closed.
This time Xu Jiansheng didn't help her, so she could only rely on herself. No matter what, working in the fields is definitely not a long-term solution. The job that Aunt Osmanthus said was better than working in the field anyway, and Aunt Osmanthus also pointed out a clear way for her. As long as she has a good relationship with Uncle Gensheng's family, there will always be a chance to change the status quo in the future.
Xu Nannan didn't want to stay in the countryside all the time, she wanted to go to the city. With a goal, she will act without hesitation.
After searching a lot in Taobao stores, Xu Nannan finally found the milk powder in bags. In order not to make people suspicious, she deliberately looked for the milk powder with no date on the packaging, and the packaging style also fits the aesthetics of this era. It is not easy to be suspicious.
Thanks to the omnipotent Taobao, you can find everything.
Seeing the two bags of milk powder, Xu Nannan heaved a sigh of relief. It happened that one bag was for Xiaoman's body, and the other bag was sent to Uncle Gensheng's home.
Uncle Gensheng's family had just had a grandson, and it was the eldest grandson again. Uncle Gensheng's daughter-in-law was holding it in her mouth like a baby, afraid of melting. But now that the disaster year has just passed, all households are in great difficulty. The situation at Uncle Gensheng's house is not good, and the children can only drink some rice soup and mush at ordinary times, and are severely malnourished. The last time Xu Nannan saw him, this The child's small arms are as thin as bamboo poles. With this bag of milk powder, Uncle Gensheng's family must be very happy.
Taking advantage of the night, Xu Nannan got out of his hut with a bag of milk powder in his arms, and walked towards Xu Gensheng's house.
In this era, there was no electricity in the village, and the houses were all lit with oil lamps. No one was willing to spend oil on the lamps, and they all fell asleep at night.
Xu Gensheng had already gone to bed at home, but his grandson was always noisy at night, and the whole family couldn't sleep well.
There is no way, the child drank some rice soup at night, his mother can only drink some mush all day long, the milk is almost gone, the child does not have enough food, and can only cry at night. Xu Gensheng's daughter-in-law, Liu Dahong, had already turned gray from worry, and complained that Xu Gensheng was a useless man, unable to find some life-saving rice noodles for her children. Not to mention rice noodles, you can always get some kudzu noodles back, but these days, kudzu noodles are only available to people in the city, and you can't buy them even if you have a ticket.
"knock knock knock"
"Uncle Gensheng, are you asleep?"
After a few light knocks on the door, Xu Nannan's voice sounded. Everyone in the village is familiar with it. When they heard the voice, they knew it was Xu Nannan, the second girl of the Xu family.
Xu Gensheng and his wife took a strange look. Liu Dahong said, "What is she doing here at this time?"
"How do I know?" Xu Gensheng also felt strange, but he went to open the door anyway. You can't let your children wait outside all the time.
As soon as Xu Nannan entered the room, he said, "Uncle Gensheng, I heard Tiger Head crying."
Hutou is the nickname of Xu Gensheng's eldest grandson.
Xu Gensheng frowned, "The child is hungry."
"I guessed it was like this, so I brought food to Hutou." Xu Nannan took out a bag of milk powder from his arms, "Uncle, this is milk powder. I heard that children in big cities eat this, and children eat it." After that, you will not only be hungry, but also grow taller and smarter.”
Anyway, I don't know if it will work or not, so just keep talking about the benefits.
When Xu Gensheng heard it, his eyes really lit up, and his heart beat. It's just that he also knows that this thing is not easy to hold. There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world, not to mention such a good thing, he can't afford it no matter how much he cares.
Seeing that Xu Gensheng remained silent, Liu Dahong inside couldn't wait any longer, and walked out with the baby in his arms, "Nannan, how can you be so embarrassed. Such a good thing must have cost a lot of money. This is your father's Bring it back, does your grandma know?"
Xu Nannan shook her head, "My grandma doesn't know." As for whether Xu Jiansheng bought it, she didn't say clearly.
Liu Dahong looked at the bag with extremely hot eyes. The grandson was in his arms, so hungry that he couldn't even cry. If he could eat a few mouthfuls of milk powder, the child would be comfortable.
"Nannan, you child, why don't you keep such a good thing for yourself, and bring it to us. My aunt is too embarrassed to take it. But Hutou is really hungry, and we don't have anything good for you Yes, but if you are useful to us, please tell us. Auntie remembers your kindness."
This is a tacit consent to all the requests made by Xu Nannan later.
What Xu Nannan wanted was her words, and he didn't care if Xu Gensheng was still in trouble, so he handed the milk to Xu Gensheng, "Uncle Gensheng, give Hutou something to eat first, he is so hungry that he has no energy left."
Seeing his grandson like that, Xu Gensheng felt distressed in his heart. He sighed and took the milk powder, and wondered again, "Is there something special about how to make this thing?"
Xu Nannan smiled and said, "I think it's better for me to do it. Uncle Gensheng, watch and do it in the future."
Xu Gensheng still had a thermos at home, and the water in it was still warm. Xu Nannan got warm water and two spoonfuls of milk powder, "I didn't get a baby bottle this time. Next time I have a chance, I'll get a baby bottle for my child. It's a good thing, Hutou will definitely like it."
"Uncle Gensheng, don't make too much of this milk powder, two spoonfuls are enough, wash it with warm water, or it won't be nutritious."
Xu Nannan told Xu Gensheng carefully what he needed to pay attention to.
Liu Dahong watched from the side, and asked with a sweet smell, feeling a bit like the smell of milk, and he was convinced that this milk powder must be a good thing.
After the milk powder was ready, Liu Dahong quickly fed the baby with a spoon.
When the spoon reached the child's mouth, the child began to eat with big mouthfuls. That little mouth babbled, and the food was so sweet.
Liu Dahong and Xu Gensheng watched, the big stone in their hearts finally fell.
After the child was full and slept soundly, Liu Dahong was even more grateful. "Nannan, you child, I don't even know what to say."
Xu Nannan's eyes turned red, "Auntie, don't say that. I just can't see Hutou being hungry. Xiaoman and I grew up hungry, we know how hard it is, and we don't want Hutou to be like us."
Liu Dahong also wiped away tears. "You and Xiao Man are both hard-fated children." They have a good life, but they are not blessed. A good life has become a bad one.
"Auntie, I can't do anything. I fell down in the ground a while ago, and I've been afraid since I woke up, worrying that if I leave one day, who will take care of Xiaoman. I just thought, if I can't get out of the ground, I will Okay. But my grandma definitely disagrees. She won’t let me eat for free. I just thought, if I can change to a suitable job, I can afford it, and I’m willing to do it.”
Xu Nannan's voice was full of emotion, and tears fell like rain.
Xu Gensheng and Liu Dahong also heard Xu Nannan's thoughts, but they didn't feel that Xu Nannan was too thoughtful, they only felt that the child was pitiful.
"Nannan, don't cry. Uncle Gensheng and I will take a good look. If there is a suitable job, I will let you do it. You are young, so you shouldn't be in the field."
Xu Nannan pursed her lips, nodded with red eyes, "Then uncle, I won't disturb your sleep, I'll go back first."
She wiped away her tears, looked at the little tiger's head again, and then left Xu Gensheng's house.
As soon as Xu Nannan left, Xu Gensheng sighed and had a sad face. "What should we do about this?" He is an honest man. At the beginning, everyone chose him as the captain because of his kindness. Now he is asked to collect things from others and do things for them, he always feels a little awkward.
Liu Dahong slapped him on the forehead, "You old man, there is nothing difficult to do. Nan Nan is still a child, and everyone in the village knows that she is suffering. You are the captain and an elder, why can't you help me a little bit. Even if there is no milk powder today, you have to help. What's more, her milk powder saved your grandson, if you don't help, you will be poked in the back. "
Liu Dahong was full of momentum, Xu Gensheng was speechless by what she said.
"The farm lacks a grass mower, let Nan Nan go."
"Isn't that old man over there? Is it okay to let Nan Nan get in touch with him? Don't lead Nan Nan into trouble." Liu Dahong somewhat disagreed. There is a bad guy in the farm.
"He's a picky guy, and he's not with Nannan, so why worry about it. The job in the village is easier."
"That's fine, let's do it for now." Liu Dahong still felt that a job of cutting pigweed was really inferior to such a precious thing as milk powder. And Nan Nan also said that he would get them milk bottles.
If there is a good opportunity in the future, I still have to look at Nan Nan.
Before dawn the next day, Xu Xiaoman was also called up by Xu Nannan to drink a bowl of milk, "Don't ask me anything, and don't be told, or the milk will kill us."
When Xu Xiaoman heard this, he immediately shut his mouth and nodded fiercely.
Anyway, what she said was right. She guessed in her heart that it might have been secretly left by her father yesterday. So you can't talk to grandma. Otherwise, the grandma will make trouble, and the good things will be taken away.
Xu Nannan didn't know what Xu Xiaoman was thinking, so he patted her head with a smile, "Hey, let's drink a bowl every morning from now on, and you will become very smart in the future, and you will be able to recognize more characters."
Xu Nannan also drank a bowl, feeling the sweetness in his mouth, and wanted to sigh happily. Who would have imagined that one day even drinking milk powder would give me a sense of happiness.
Before going to work the next day, Xu Gensheng called Xu Nannan away, saying that he had arranged another job.
When Zhang Cuiqin heard this, she was unhappy, "Why make another arrangement, isn't this a good job?"
Xu Gen gave her a sideways glance, "There are arrangements in the organization, what's your opinion? Nannan is young and can't do much work in the field, so let her do other work, which is more in line with our idea of mass production. If you have any objections, please contact me." Respond organizationally."
Zhang Jianhai pinched her hard, "Work." This silly woman, don't the two do the same thing, anyway, they are not idle, and they still earn work points, what do you care about so much.
Zhang Cuiqin just lowered her head to work aggrievedly, and couldn't figure out why Xu Gensheng wanted to change Erya's job.
