Take the supermarket back to the times

Chapter 43

Su Xiaoruan's heart skipped a beat, could it be someone who had an accident?
Although Su Xiaoruan was worried, she didn't show it on her face.

"Well, you guys eat first, and then start doing your homework after eating. I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative and I'll be back in a while."

"Well, you go."

After Su Xiaoruan left the house, she noticed that the village was quiet now.

Now there is a lot of farm work in the field, and those who have labor at home basically go to the field.

Even six or seven-year-old children will choose to hunt pigweed, and then come to get a little work point, or go directly to dig wild vegetables.

Su Xiaoruan walked very carefully all the way, carrying a bamboo basket on her back, also for convenience.

Finally arrived at the bullpen.

As soon as Su Xiaoruan stood still at the door, she heard someone talking inside.

"Old cow, don't think too much, life will go on. We all know that you feel bad when your wife is gone. But don't forget, you still have children and grandchildren. You really Do you have the heart to leave them all behind?"

Su Xiaoruan recognized this voice as that of old man Ji.

"Old Ji, don't try to persuade me. I really can't take it anymore. I think my child, I really can't stand it!"

Wang Qin sighed and said: "Brother Niu, don't be too pessimistic. Think about it now, isn't it better than when we were on the farm before? At that time, we did the hardest work, ate the least food, and had to be dragged away every now and then. Get an education. See at least we don't have to do such a hard job all the time now, and we don't get criticized, we have to have a glimmer of hope."

The persuasion in the room was still going on, Su Xiaoruan could tell that the old man's voice was a little weak, he was either sick or hungry.

Su Xiaoruan knocked on the door, and then pushed the door open without waiting for a response from inside.

The main reason is that she has been standing outside for a long time, and she is also afraid of being discovered, okay?

"you are?"

The old man Niu looked confused, but Ji Fengnian recognized her.

"Are you a little girl from the Su family?"

Wang Qin smiled: "It's Su Xiaoruan, right?"

Su Xiaoruan nodded and said: "A friend of mine passed by the cowshed and told me that someone is looking for death here, so I came to have a look."

The faces of several people froze at the same time. Didn't they expect their voices to be so loud before?

Su Xiaoruan ignored their astonishment, but walked directly to the bed, looking at the thin and dark old man, this is the unlucky guy who couldn't survive for a few years, right?
"Grandpa, if you really don't want to live, then have a good time, but if you still hesitate, it proves that you still have concerns in your heart. In this case, why don't you live well and let the dead be able to live?" Smiling Jiuquan?"

Let's say this, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it.

But after thinking about it again, if such profound words were uttered by a little girl, something was wrong everywhere.

Su Xiaoruan put down the basket and took out a bottle of milk from it.

"This is milk. Judging by your current appearance, you should be severely malnourished. Heat it up and drink it."

The old tauren are stupid!
what 's wrong?
A little girl popped up all of a sudden and gave him some lectures, but she even gave him something precious like milk?

"you?"

Without waiting for him to ask, Su Xiaoruan told the general situation of her family.

"My grandma has also read books. If it hadn't been for wars and natural disasters, maybe my grandma would be looked down upon just like you now. My grandma said that people who can save a few books in adversity, and Where can it go bad?"

In a word, several people in the room were silent.

After a while, Ji Fengnian said: "Your grandma is a knowledgeable person. Little girl, my name is Ji Fengnian. Please call me Grandpa Ji. I know you are kind, but it is better for you to come here less in the future .”

Wang Qin also nodded and said, "Yes, don't come in the future. Don't cause trouble for you."

Su Xiaoruan didn't insist, but took out the things in the back basket one by one.

"I know there are four of you here, and you guys started the fire together, right? You can do it according to your needs. If you need anything in the future, you can go to Su's house to find me. I usually don't go out except for hunting pigweed and digging wild vegetables. of."

Wang Qin asked in surprise, "You didn't go to school?"

Su Xiaoruan smiled triumphantly: "I have good grades, and the teacher specially approved that I don't have to go to class, I just need to take the exam."

The astonishment on Wang Qin's face became even heavier. Didn't expect to meet a little genius?

Su Xiaoruan didn't stay for too long, and left quickly after instructing them to take care of things.

With such an outburst, Lao Niutou is too embarrassed to complain about himself.

At an early age, being preached by a little girl is enough to make him feel ashamed. If he can't live a good life, then he will be looked down upon.

Grandma Su made the lunch, Su Xiaoruan made up lessons for Huo Xiaoyan, and Huo Yunlei went to light a fire for Grandma Su.

Huo Yunlei's temper is a bit impatient, he can't do things like make up lessons.

Even if it's my own sister, seeing that she can't learn it all the time, she really wants to beat her up.

Su Xiaoruan is patient, the main reason is that she is careful and found the main reason for Huo Xiaoyan's poor grades, plus she has a little distress for Xiaoyan, so she is naturally patient.

What I made at noon today was stretched noodles, which can be regarded as a kind of handmade noodles, but the method is different from the usual handmade noodles.

Grandma Su has reconciled a long time ago and is rolling out the dough now.

Later, cut it with a knife about half an inch long. When eating, stretch it with your hands to make it thinner and thinner, and cook it directly in the pot.

This kind of stretched sliver has a chewy texture and is particularly smooth.

The brine is ready, two kinds of brine.

One kind of meat, one kind of egg sauce.

Su Xiaoruan likes to eat egg sauce, and Grandma Su even specially scalded a large pot of green vegetables to go with it.

Huo Yunlei ate the delicious meat and stewed noodles, and only felt that this was about to reach the pinnacle of his life.

Think about how I am eating such a good meal, how can I only have the little firewood I picked up in the morning?
Simply put, he had nothing else to do in the next afternoon, so he ran to collect firewood again.

After tossing back and forth twice, the firewood I got back was enough for the Su family to burn for three or four days.

Grandma Su also felt a little distressed when she looked at the child: "He is hardworking and knows how to be grateful."

Su Xiaoruan simply said: "Don't worry, Grandma, Brother Yunting asked me to take care of them before he left. I'll find a chance to give them something to eat tomorrow."

When the brothers and sisters of the Huo family returned home at night, all that was waiting for them was a bowl of thin corn mush.

Li Xiufen said in a strange tone: "Hey, the white noodles you ate at noon didn't make you full? How can you still look at our corn mush?"
