Take the supermarket back to the times

Chapter 4 is the old man is back
Su Xiaoruan's heart skipped a beat.

Grandma is in charge of everything in the family. Although grandma has four sons and two daughters, they are the only ones who really stay by her side.

Uncle Su Jianguo is in the army, he seems to be a senior cadre now, and he may not be able to come back for a year or two.

Second uncle Su Jianjun works on the railway, and the number of times he comes back throughout the year is also limited.

The third uncle, Su Jianmin, left his hometown a few years ago, and now he has settled in H Province, married a wife and had children there, but he has never been back for so many years.

The two aunts are both married, and they don't usually go back to their parents' home much, and they don't have the kind of temperament that loves to play tricks, so generally speaking, the atmosphere in the house is still very harmonious.

Su Xiaoruan thought that it was impossible for her to hide it from everyone, so she might as well rely on grandma, the big Buddha, and let her help cover up.

"Grandma, come in."

Su Xiaoruan knew that there was no fine grain in the house at this moment, because the new house next to it was just built a few days ago, and it hadn't dried yet.

In order to build these brick and tile houses, it can be said that all the savings in the family were spent, and even the fine grains were replaced by coarse grains to eat.

When Grandma Su heard her granddaughter speak, she opened the door and walked in.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a bag of white rice leaning against the corner.

"what is this?"

Grandma Su was dumbfounded.

Wait for her to step forward to take a closer look and touch her hand, oh my god!

This is good white rice.

"Ruanbao, where did this come from?"

"Grandma, this is from grandpa."

Su Xiaoruan knew that grandma was superstitious, and she still burned incense and prayed to Buddha every day when the control was not strict.

That's why grandma hid the gods she enshrined because of the strict inspection of the land in the past few years. Otherwise, their family would be in trouble.

"This? Your grandfather?"

Su Xiaoruan's grandfather left early. In fact, Su Xiaoruan has never seen what this grandfather looks like, but only heard about it from grandma and father.

At this moment, I had to find an excuse for the source of my things.

"Uh, I don't know. Anyway, when I fell into the water, I heard the voice of an old man, saying that it was a blessing for me. When I fell asleep just now, I saw the old man again. He gave me This, it is said to feed our family. But when I woke up, this rice was here."

Grandma Su was obviously in disbelief.

She walked around the rice a few more times, convinced that it was white rice and nothing else, so she said tremblingly, "What does your grandpa look like in your dream?"

Su Xiaoruan tilted her head as a flashback, but she was actually thinking about what her grandma said to her grandpa.

"Changdi is actually not too old, er, it's a bit like my father, especially the eyes, it's exactly the same."

Grandma Su slapped her thigh excitedly.

"Oh, that's right! The old man is back."

After Grandma Su finished speaking, she bowed to the west and said, "Buddha bless you, our ancestors have manifested, and know that they have come back to protect us."

Seeing this, Su Xiaoruan breathed a sigh of relief.

This means that grandma has accepted her statement.

Things will be easier after that.

"Grandma, let's have steamed white rice for lunch. It just so happens that there are eggs from the Yu family? Let's scramble a few more eggs, and fry the rest of the bacon."

That piece of bacon is actually not much left, and it should only weigh half a catty if it is full.

Grandma Su has always been very frugal when it comes to food.

If it were different, Grandma Su would definitely not agree, she would have to scold her for not knowing how to live.

But today is different. With such a bag of white rice, it weighs almost [-] catties, but it is enough to feed the whole family for many days.

Grandma Su looked at her granddaughter's expectant look, and knew that everyone was suffering to build a house these days, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Success! Do as you say."

Su Xiaoruan was so happy that she almost jumped up.

The work in the field is not easy now. Except for Zhao Hongmei, almost everyone who can work earns full wages. If they don't eat well, they will easily get sick.

Su Xiaoruan decided that she would live this life again, and she had to take care of the health of the whole family first.

At noon, Su Jianye and Zhao Hongmei came back, followed by Zhao Yingzi.

Su Xiaoruan's older brothers are going to repair the canal now, and they will not be able to come back until two days later.

It was precisely because they felt that the Su family lacked a few strong laborers, so the brothers and sisters of the Yu family dared to come up with such a way to deceive people.

If there were Su Xiaoruan's elder brothers, the Yu family would not dare to have such thoughts even if they were killed.

Zhao Yingzi is a poor person in Zhao Hongmei's natal village. In [-], the family was so poor that they couldn't solve the problem. Zhao Yingzi's parents wanted to sell her.

But in the new society, where is the practice of selling children and daughters?
It was the old lady who looked at Zhao Yingzi pitifully, such a thin and small baby, and took him home with great kindness, and then found someone to change her household registration, and settled in the Su family as Su Xiaoruan's future sister-in-law.

Zhao Yingzi left early in the morning, so he didn't know what the Yu family was up to.

By the time she knew it, her parents had already arrived in the field.

As soon as he entered the house and saw Su Xiaoruan, Zhao Yingzi hurried over.

"Ruanbao, how are you? Do you have a fever?"

"Sister, I'm fine. I even helped grandma light the fire."

When several people entered the room, they were all dumbfounded when they saw the delicious food on the table.

"Mom, where did this white rice come from?"

Su Jianye's eyeballs wanted to stare out, and at the same time, his mouth began to swallow.

He hasn't eaten white rice for more than half a year.

"Eat as soon as you have something to eat, there are so many words!"

After cursing, Grandma Su picked up her chopsticks and said, "Let's serve dinner."

The Su family is still very strict. It is said that Grandma Su used to be the lady of the landlord's family, but during the war, Grandma Su's father decided to donate most of the family property, and saved several Red Army troops. In the north, this is not implicated.

So the page on Grandma Su's household registration book now is a proper poor peasant.

It's been a long time since I had such a hearty meal.

A dish of scrambled eggs with wild vegetables, a dish of shredded radish in cold salad, a dish of fried bacon with cabbage, and a dish of mushroom soup.

The whole family was satisfied after eating, with smiles on their faces.

Su Jianye ate three bowls of rice in a row before stopping.

Zhao Yingzi went to clean up the dishes after eating, and Su Xiaoruan wanted to help, but she also stopped her.

Grandma Su called both Su Jianye and Zhao Hongmei into the back room.

"You have also seen Ruanbao's attitude today. I think I will get rid of the Yu family's marriage as soon as possible."
