At the end of the month, Wu Shufang brought Shisong's family of four to Dongshi.

Zhou Shisong and his wife are not tall, thin, with hair like withered grass. Although the clothes on their bodies are a bit worn out, they are clean.

The two children were as skinny as children in the years of the Great Famine, hiding behind their parents and not daring to look at others.

Wu Shufang said gratefully: "Shufen, I will trouble you in the future."

"Sister, you're a layman." Wu Shufen looked at Zhou Shisong, whose hair was half gray at a young age, and felt a little sour in her heart, "It's good if you come, sit down quickly, and eat something first."

Zhou Shisong pulled the cautious Li Xiaofeng to salute Wu Shufen: "Thank you, Second Aunt."

Wu Shufen looked at him reproachfully: "Why should my second aunt thank you?"

Zhang Xiuqing and Zhao Xiaohui scooped up bean curd rice, braised fat intestines, stewed pig's trotters, and steamed vegetables for them. The two children kept swallowing when they saw the food on the table.

Watching all this, Zhou Shisong and his wife were both excited and uneasy. They felt that the city was really nice, much better than Dashiqiao Commune. They wore better clothes and rode bicycles. They even had more cars than the town.

Can mountain people like them really find food in the city?Can you really feed two kids?And can I earn five yuan for my mother-in-law and my father-in-law every month?
The food on the table is really delicious, they have never eaten such white rice during Chinese New Year.

The couple glanced at Wu Shufang anxiously, and saw that she was leading the two children to sit on the stool, and they sat down cautiously.

"Elder sister, Shi Song, Xiao Feng, eat slowly, if you don't have enough, there will be a cook." After Wu Shufen said, she took her two daughters-in-law to the side, so as not to let them go.

Wu Shufang handed the meal to the two grandsons, "Eat, your second aunt and the others still have things to do."

"Understood." The two children responded in a low voice.

A large bowl of food was eaten by several people. After eating and drinking, the two children snuggled up beside Wu Shufang with satisfied faces.

Lu Xiaofeng scrambled to help tidy up the dishes, Zhou Shisong also helped wipe the table and sweep the floor.

Zhang Xiuqing and Zhao Xiaohui smiled and put the things in the kitchen, and they sat down with blushing faces and picked up the two children.

Wu Shufen looked at Wu Shufang embarrassedly: "Sister, I'm not sure whether you can come, so I didn't go to Aunt Xiaolan to talk about renting a house. When the boss comes, I will let him go to Xiaolan."

"I know. At that time, I wasn't sure if I could bring them out." Wu Shufang looked at her gratefully: "Shufen, I have caused you trouble."

Wu Shufen smiled and shook her head, looking at the Shisong couple who were sitting cautiously: "It's good when you come out, as long as you work hard and work hard, you will have a bowl of rice to eat."

Zhou Shisong raised his head and looked at her worriedly: "Second Aunt, is it really okay for us to come here?"

Lu Xiaofeng also looked up at her.

"Why not?" Wu Shufen said with a smile, "Look at your second aunt and two cousins. Didn't we also come from the mountains! We also have two hands."

"Compared with the people in the city, except that we don't read as many books as they do, we also have what they have, but we are more able to endure hardship than them."

"We know nothing but farming. My mother told us to sell food. We don't cook well..." Zhou Shisong's voice became weaker and weaker, until he didn't even know it himself. How should I say it?
He felt that his family could not be compared with his second aunt's cousins, and he had no confidence in coming here to beg for food.

But staying at home to farm, the mother-in-law is too fierce, and the wife is too weak, he is worried that if he continues to stay in Shishanling, even if the family is separated, they will not live in peace.

Wu Shufen smiled and said, "Your cousin-in-law found a stall for Guoliang and Guodong in the alley next to the garment factory, planning to sell fried potatoes, dried tofu, and stinky tofu..."

"It's been only two days since they started doing business, and the business is pretty good. If you want, you can go and follow them for a few days, help peel potatoes and do some groceries, and try to see if it works?"

Zhou Shisong took a deep breath, nodded and said, "Thank you, Second Aunt, we are willing to try."

Wu Shufen looked at him with relief: "Okay, you guys sit down for a while, and when your uncle comes, let him take you to Lexing to wash and have a good sleep."

"Okay." Zhou Shisong hugged his son who wanted to sleep after eating, and Li Xiaofeng carried his daughter to the backyard.

Zhang Xiuqing asked the whole family to sleep on the bed in the warehouse.

Seeing that her son and daughter-in-law had left, Wu Shufang said angrily: "I originally thought that I would make a fuss with that old lady of the Li family when I went back. At home, the elders of the Zhou family and the captains of the two brigades talked about things.

The second child and Xiaofeng told everyone about the family situation in recent years, saying that they would no longer help raise the married sisters, and proposed to separate the family.

Mrs. Li disagreed, saying that she recruited her son-in-law because they were old and could not move. Someone served tea and water to serve the old couple, and they wanted to separate unless they died.

The second child said that it is okay not to divide the family, and the couple will take care of the family's things in the future. Mrs. Li can no longer give the family's things to the two younger sisters in large and small bags.

Mrs. Li said that she could give whatever was in her family's possessions, and said that the second child was her family's door-to-door son-in-law, and it was not his turn to be the master of the Li family.

Seeing that she was being unreasonable, Lu Xiaofeng became hardened once, and asked Mrs. Li in front of the clan elders and the team leader, is she really her own daughter?Ask her why she is so eccentric?
Ask her that since she thinks her sisters are good, why doesn't she leave them at home to recruit sons-in-law and honor them?It is said that Shi Song is the door-to-door son-in-law and not the Li family. The two children's surnames are always Li family!Why didn't you see the two elders treat the two children better?

These years, she and Shi Song served the two elders with tea and water, washed and cooked for them, never heard them say hello, and often said that they were disobedient and unfilial outside.

The chickens, ducks, and livestock they worked so hard to raise, Mrs. Li sold the money, and never made a piece of clothing or a pair of shoes for the two children.The new clothes and shoes I made are reserved for the children of my two younger sisters.

Both the elders of the Li family and the uncle's family said that Mrs. Li's approach was wrong, and asked Mrs. Li to either hand over the family to Xiaofeng, or separate the family and let them live their own lives.

Mrs. Li said that it is okay to divide the family, regardless of the house, give Xiaofeng and Shisong a pension of ten yuan a month, once a quarter, or they will not be allowed to leave Li's house to ask for a living.

The clan elders, team leader, and Xiaofeng's uncle's family were all shocked, saying that the pension fund of 120 yuan a year had never been heard of in Shishanling.The most a year is only 36 yuan.

Later, I agreed to pay 60 yuan a year after talking about it.

Mrs. Li wanted the two of them to give the pension money for the first quarter immediately, but Shi Song and Xiaofeng were penniless, so it was I who helped advance the pension money for the first quarter.After dividing the homestead, I asked the captain to open a letter of introduction before bringing them out.
