The Siheyuan started with the young He Yuzhu

Chapter 290 Li Xiuzhi

"Teacher Cai is here, a rare visitor." Upon seeing Cai Quanwu, Master Niu smiled and said, "Manager, you haven't been out for a while, you probably don't know that Cai Quanwu became a primary school teacher, right?"

"Oh? Cai Quanwu, have you become a teacher? Congratulations!" He Yuzhu raised his eyebrows, he really didn't know about it.

"The manager was joking. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have the opportunity to be a teacher. I wanted to thank you all the time, but I heard that you are busy recently, so I am too embarrassed to come and disturb you."

"I happened to meet the manager today, so I have to toast you!" Seeing that He Yuzhu was here, Cai Quanwu hurriedly asked Manager Xu to order a jug of wine, sat down, and drank all the wine up.

Seeing Cai Quanwu's smug look, he waved his hands, "Okay, okay, don't get drunk."

"How can I do that? If it weren't for your manager, I definitely wouldn't have the chance to be a teacher."

Cai Quanwu was really grateful, not to mention introducing someone to him at the beginning, but also arranged to be a teacher in a literacy class, and now he has really become a Chinese teacher in Daqianmen Primary School.How can this not make Cai Quanwu excited and grateful?

"That's because you have the ability. If you don't have the ability, if it falls on you, you won't be able to stand it." After casually saying a few polite words, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen Qiangzi for a long time, and couldn't help being curious. Asked: "By the way, nothing, do you know where Qiangzi went?"

I still admire this quick-witted little brother. At least many things that are inconvenient for him can be handed over to Qiangzi.

"Qiangzi has returned to his hometown. His father is sick and has to go back to take care of him."

"Oh, that's right." Hearing that he had returned to his hometown, he didn't say anything more.But Master Niu suddenly said: "Manager, do you know? The drought in Sichuan Province has been severe recently."

"Oh!" He Yuzhu raised his eyebrows.

"The drought in Sichuan Province is severe, and many places have been desolate for thousands of miles. Now the people there are not living well." Speaking of this, Master Niu sighed: "I have a friend who is from Sichuan Province. , Not long ago, he sent me a telegram asking if I could find him a house in Forty-Nine City, he is going to bring his whole family here."

"So serious?" He Yuzhu frowned, with a heavy heart.

Master Niu sighed and said, "Who says it's not! It's winter, and there are victims everywhere."

Hearing this, Li Wen frowned tightly. It seemed that the grain he had stored in the cellar would be used soon.

Sichuan Province, in the Li Family Village in a certain mountain in Rongcheng.

"Sister, don't talk about it, you keep the money for retirement, I can't use your money anymore!"

Father Li looked at the ten yuan handed over by his sister, frowned, and said nothing.

"If you want to take it, you can take it. This is my pension money, but I can't watch your whole family go hungry. Besides, I still have some savings on me. I can't eat enough to eat."

After saying this, the aunt forced the money into Father Li's hands.

"Sister, I really can't use it. I have already taken a lot of money from you." Father Li returned the money to the aunt unswervingly.

"Really not?"

"Really not!"

"Okay, if you don't want it, you won't be my younger brother in the future. Get out quickly, and I will treat you as my younger brother." Auntie got up forcefully and wanted to push Father Li away.

"This... this, sister, can you stop doing this." Father Li said helplessly.

"What's wrong with me? I'll give you money, but you're not happy anymore!"

Auntie pointed at Li Xiuzhi angrily and said, "Look, Xiuzhi is hungry. When I first came back last year, I looked much better than now."

"Sister, isn't there no way to do it? You also know that our village didn't produce any grain last year, and some of it has to be handed over. If it falls into everyone's pockets, then there isn't much."

Father Li sighed heavily and said, "I have made an agreement with the production team leader. Starting tomorrow, everyone will gather to go winter hunting in the mountains and get some wild game and mountain products so that we can get through this winter."

"I think it will be a lot better when the spring starts next year and the crops are planted."

This year around Rongcheng, there has been heavy snowfall, and even the valleys are covered with snow.As the so-called auspicious snow heralds a good year, next year will definitely be a good season, and the harvest in the fields will definitely be much better than this year.

"Winter hunting on the mountain? There are so many people in the village, can each person share a piece of meat? Listen to my sister, take the money, and hurry to the city to exchange for some food." After all, my aunt has stayed in Sijiu City for more than ten years. People, knowing that the harvest is not good, the life of the big guy will be even poorer in the second year.After all, there was no harvest last year, and the grain had to be saved until this year's spring plowing.We all have to live in tight clothes to get through this period of time.

It's better for adults, for a child as old as Xiuzhi, it's time to grow his body, so he must eat more to nourish his body.

"This..." Father Li glanced at his daughter who had lost a lot of weight, and felt a little shaken in his heart. He was not a pedantic person, but he felt that he owed his sister too much.Since my sister came home last year, she has successively supported their family with tens of dollars. For urban residents, this amount of money may be equivalent to one or two months' wages.

But in the countryside, that is an astronomical sum!A day's work points are only one or two cents, and it costs six or seven yuan a month!Dozens of yuan, equivalent to a year's income without eating or drinking.

Under such circumstances, Father Li naturally did not dare to bother the elder sister. After all, the elder sister is now alone, has no children, and is old. If she can't do any physical work, she can't earn wages.In addition, when the land was distributed that year, I couldn't keep up with it. It can be said that in my hometown in the countryside, my sister no longer has any property except for a mud house.

Father Li naturally couldn't bear the old sister spending money to help him, after all, it was all the old sister's pension money in the future.

"What? You don't want to raise your sister anymore?" the aunt said in a different tone.

Father Li said: "No, no, elder sister is like a mother, sister, I will definitely support you in the future, and when I am old, Xiuzhi and Jianguo will take care of you."

"Yes, Auntie, I will be filial to you when I grow up." Li Xiuzhi said hastily.

As for her younger brother, he is still young, only seven or eight years old, and he doesn't quite understand what it means to take care of the elderly. Seeing what his sister said, he also nodded and said, "Gu, I will support you too."

"Xiuzhi is good, Jianguo is even better, okay, I will rely on you to support me from now on." The aunt smiled and touched the heads of the two children, then looked at the younger brother and said, "I understand what you mean, but now it is It's a special period, and the eldest sister still has a little savings, and she has saved a lot after working in the boss's house for so many years, so this little money is nothing."

Auntie did have a little money. She had worked in the Chen family for more than ten years, and she didn't need to spend money on food, drink and housing. So over the years, she has saved hundreds of dollars one after another.

If this money is used slowly, it will be enough for my aunt to take care of her.After all, the price of goods in the new country has hardly changed much until the reform and opening up.

"This..." After hesitating for a long time, Father Li finally took the money from the aunt in shame. He was really embarrassed to take the money from the sister again.But just as my aunt said, the food at home is really running out. If you don't think about it, let alone the New Year, you may not be able to survive this month.

"Hey, that's right." The aunt smiled. She had no children, and she had already regarded her younger brother's pair of children as her own.Therefore, she naturally couldn't bear to have such a small child without food.
