Su Yuning's tears rolled down her cheeks: "Is it because of your legs?"

"Yes." Xiao Mohan raised his hand and gently wiped the corners of her eyes: "Don't cry, I don't want to die now, Ning Ning, don't cry."

He was a bit clumsy and didn't know what to do.

Gritting his teeth, he reached out and hugged Su Yuning into his arms:

"Now that I have you, I will definitely not die. What if you are bullied? You are such a small person and can't even fight. I have to live to protect you."

"..."

What kind of sugar-coated bomb is this? Does this man know what he is talking about?

Su Yuning was sad because she thought of her past, not entirely because of Xiao Mohan, but he obviously misunderstood!

"Xiao Mohan, you have to live well, not for anyone else, just for yourself. If you just hurt your leg, what's the big deal? You didn't damage your brain."

Su Yuning inhaled slightly: "The policy is different now. The country needs high-end talents. You can always find a way out as long as you are willing, so don't worry."

"I know." Xiao Mohan stretched out his hand to wipe away her tears: "You are hungry, I'll cook."

He stood up and walked towards the kitchen, his back looking a little lonely.

Su Yuning pursed her lips, put her hands on the chair, and kicked her legs in the air: Xiao Mohan's words moved her a little, and she knew exactly what he meant!

But she couldn't give him a definite answer. Even her biological parents might give up on her, let alone a man and woman who were only tied together by a marriage certificate.

She and Xiao Mohan have not known each other for a long time. To put it bluntly, they have no emotional basis. How can such two people stay together for a long time?

She doesn't believe in feelings, only money!

Especially in this era when we can barely provide enough food and clothing.

Su Yuning raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, stood up and entered the kitchen.

Xiao Mohan boiled water and kneaded the dough. He still remembered that Su Yuning said he wanted to eat noodles.

Su Yuning turned around, took out the meat and vegetables, and silently washed the vegetables and made them.

Not being as particular as later generations, Su Yuning cut the meat into large pieces and threw it directly into the pan. Then he put in the onions and popped them. The aroma was already so delicious that his mouth watered.

The noodles were quickly cooked, and the two of them carried them into the yard, lit a small kerosene lamp, and were snoring and eating deliciously under the moonlight, when there was a knock on the yard door.

"I'll do it." Xiao Mohan put down the bowl and opened the door.

Xue Ergou squeezed in and said, "I heard that the Xiao family is having trouble again?"

"It's nothing, don't worry about it." Xiao Mohan closed the door and returned to the dining table, picked up the bowl and continued eating.

Su Yuning pointed to the stool next to her: "Second brother, please sit down first. I'll tell you something later."

After finishing a few bites, she took out the fishing net and said, "Let's make some more ground traps and go down to the river tonight."

"Okay, I'll help you find the wire." Xue Ergou didn't say anything and found the wire after a while.

Xiao Mohan had already put away the dishes and returned to the yard, and followed Xue Ergou to twist the wire into a square frame.

Su Yuning sewed the square frame onto the fishing net and said to Xue Ergou:

"Second brother, I found a restaurant to collect these crayfish, and they offered me [-] cents per catty. You have to work hard these days, put down the net at night, take it back in the morning, and we will split the money half way?"

Xue Ergou was startled: "Brother Han, is it too much for me to share half of this? I will just contribute, and the rest is all my sister-in-law thinks about?"

"Just take it." Xiao Mohan lowered his eyelashes, unable to see his emotions.

Su Yuning didn't want to pay attention to him for the time being.

"By the way, keep the snails as well. Next time I go to town, I'll find a way to get the other party to keep them too."

I had never thought about it before, but now I suddenly felt that there might be a market for these snails.

After all, these are the best-selling items in food stalls in later generations.

Xue Ergou looked excited: "Sure, I will follow my sister-in-law from now on."

"Then you won't be working anymore?" Su Yuning also wanted to have a helper, and Xue Ergou was very suitable.

He was the only strong laborer in the Xue family. She asked him to leave, which was a bit unkind. What should Aunt Xue do?

Xue Ergou waved his hand

"Whatever job I have, I have to divide it into households. From now on, my mother will have to deal with the little land at home. I have to make a lot of money, send my sister to study, and then take my mother to live in the town."

Su Yuning was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect him to have this idea: "It's good to be promising."

Most people here think that what is fundamental is that only those who have money can make a living. Not many people think that doing business can make a lot of money.

Soon to enter the 80s, the economy will become more and more open, leaving more and more opportunities for them, and the gap between the rich and the poor will probably start to widen from this time.

"What's the future? This is all Brother Han..."
