Era: I have a two-world door

Chapter 2: Those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes
  Wang Ping looked at Wang Qingsong's expression, a little restrained, and said unconvinced: "You only have an eldest brother, and I don't have an eldest brother?"

Of course he also has an older brother.

But I didn't bring it with me. I work in the city now.

Wang Ping looked at the other party and sneered. "Then you want your eldest brother to give me money? Are you going to let your eldest brother take care of you?"

After saying that, he looked at the pouty mouth next to him and shed tears, but he didn't dare to cry out loud.

He felt distressed for a while, and lowered his voice and said, "Mai Xiao, finish your meal. We're looking for the captain."

Talking about his eldest brother and second brother made him even more angry.

The eldest brother is an ordinary worker and could have helped a little bit, but in these difficult times, their own family is having a hard time.

The second brother was rich and gave me a lot of money.

Even give them 5 yuan a month.

This is already a lot of money. You must know that temporary workers and apprentices in the city only cost more than ten yuan a month, and regular workers only cost about thirty yuan.

The second brother has been in the city for a short time and is just an apprentice with a salary of only more than 28 yuan. He just became a full-time employee some time ago and his salary is 5 yuan and cents.

But the price of food these days is too scary.

The eldest brother and the second brother had rations in the city. They used food stamps to buy cornmeal for only 1 cents per catty, and gray flour for only 1 cents per catty.

But without rationing, we can only eat high-priced food from the black market.

There is a food shortage now.

Grain prices are high on the black market. Corn flour costs as much as three yuan per catty, and gray flour costs as much as five yuan per catty.

As for meat, in the black market it is calculated in taels, one tael for one dollar.

With the money my second brother gave me, I could buy more than a pound of grain.

Of course, giving him so much money started when he married a rich wife last year. The second brother didn't have so much money to give him before.

This is also the reason why he is so angry.

All this money was used by him to buy food and put it into his home.

Just so that his little sister can live a better life at home, he can also study with peace of mind and take his little sister to the city with him in the future.

The results of it?
  My sister was eaten and turned into a "big fat person".

Hearing this, Xiaomai wiped away her tears and drank the thin soup in one gulp, almost without chewing.

Because you can almost count the corn dregs at the bottom of the bowl.

After drinking, he stood up.

"go!"

When Wang Qingsong saw that his little sister had eaten, he went to the house to get some things, put on his hat and his only tattered cotton shoes, took Mai and walked out.

After coming out, it was snowy outside and the cold wind was howling.

It's about 20 degrees below zero, and people's faces are sore from the cold.

The two thin bodies stepped on the snow, making a creaking sound, and trembled as they walked towards the production team leader's house.

I had eaten less food, lacked energy, and it was so cold.

Both of them were shivering as they walked.

After the two people left, Wang Ping said with a dissatisfied look on his face: "Mom, what should I do? If the family separates, none of the money his second brother gave us will belong to us!"

Sun Xiuhe changed his aggrieved expression.

He curled his lips and said, "Okay, as long as I'm here, this family can't be separated. If Zhao Datian dares to agree, I will make him restless."

Then he continued: "Besides, even if the family is separated now, who will take care of the dead girl? Where can he live? There is no quilt to cover, no food, no firewood for the kang. He can still go to heaven, don't worry, Will come back obediently."

As he spoke, he got up and returned to the house.

He took out two pieces of black and gray steamed buns and handed one to his eldest son.

"Okay, let's eat."

He broke open the remaining bun and fed it to the youngest boy next to him.

Wang Ping smiled, took the wowotou and took a bite.

Feeling a little choking, I took a sip of the thin soup and took it down.

… ˆ ˆ “Third brother, they ate eggs yesterday.”

While walking on the road, Xiaomai held her brother's hand and said to him with an aggrieved look.

Hearing this, Wang Qingsong took a deep breath.

He smiled at her and said, "It's okay, be good, Xiaomai. I will give you eggs to eat from now on. Just wait."

I didn’t dare to give her a guarantee of when she would get it.

After all, no one in the city has eaten eggs for more than two years now, except of course those who can afford it and those who buy them on the black market.

As for the eggs at home, don’t think about it.

There are two chickens at home.

At this time, eggs were like a chicken butt bank, and the family's wealth, rice, oil, salt, needles, thread, brains, matches, etc. had to be exchanged for eggs.

Even if it is not a difficult period, I rarely dare to eat eggs.

It's winter now, and the chickens at home hardly lay eggs.

It will be a long time before the next one comes.

Naturally, there is no share for the two of them, and the reason is that it is used to exchange for things.

Hearing Third Brother's comfort, Xiaomai pursed her lips and said oh, but she was obedient and didn't make any fuss.

Because it's useless to make trouble.

No one can eat eggs.

Mai walked for a while, panting and said to him, "Brother, I can't walk anymore."

Wang Qingsong looked down at his sister and knew that it was edema and hunger that made her heart unable to accept walking.

At this time, what you should do is to lie in bed and reduce consumption like most people in the village.

But he couldn't go back, he had to separate his family today.

But he didn't have confidence either, because it had been more than ten days since he raised this matter, and the team hadn't solved it yet.

Because the current general environment is like this, and every family is having a hard time.

I can't explain this kind of family matter.

Moreover, their Wang family is not a common surname here, but they came here after escaping from other places, and they are talked about in a low-key manner.

But it must be solved today.

"Okay, I'll carry you!"

After saying that, he threw the little guy on his back and walked on the snow towards the captain's house.

Arriving at the door of captain Zhao Datian's house, Wang Qingsong shouted inside.

"Captain, captain, are you at home?"

In the room, Zhao Datian was drinking porridge and felt a headache when he heard the sound.

Put down the rice bowl and sigh.

Li Guizhi, the captain's wife, heard the noise outside and looked at her husband: "Master, what should I do? Are you going to ignore this matter?"

Next to me, my son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren were all watching.

Zhao Datian also said helplessly: "I also want to take care of it, but how can I take care of it? Where do you want them to go in this cold winter? If they are divided, have no food, and no place to live, won't they starve to death in a few days?"

After finishing speaking, he muttered: "I told him before, let him endure it. When he is admitted to a technical secondary school, there will be subsidies, and then he will have the confidence to leave there."

"Then...then it's not a big deal! These two children are quite pitiful."

Li Guizhi's wrinkled old face showed a trace of pity.

After hearing his wife's words, Zhao Datian thought for a while.

Listening to the shouting outside, I thought about it and put my things down and stood up.

Wang Qingsong outside saw that no one opened the door, but he still shouted as hard as he could.

He knew that Zhao Datian had to take care of it.
