Li Dong squatted next to Grandma Li who had already picked cotton and held her right hand.

The middle finger and index finger of the right hand, between the first and second joints where the thimble is placed, are squeezed by the thimble so much that there is almost no flesh left.

Grandma Li retracted her hand and said, "It will grow after a while."

Li Dong was not at ease, "Is everything okay?"

"fine."

Grandma Li shook her head, "I'm not stupid. My finger is broken. Not only does it hurt, but I can't do anything."

Aunt Li also said it was fine, just take care of her and she will be fine.

Li Dong felt relieved now. While picking cotton, she asked, "Second aunt, are you going to ginning cotton tomorrow?"

"go."

Li Ergu nodded, "I will finish picking the lanterns tonight."

Li Dong glanced at Li Meili, who was picking cotton with her head down, "Then tomorrow you can see if you can buy roosters or hens that don't lay eggs from the commune."

Aunt Li nodded, "I will pay attention. When passing by Yangjiao Bay, I will also see if there are any big fish for sale."

Li Meili gritted her teeth when she heard Li Dabao mention the day after tomorrow.

Because the day after tomorrow is Li Dabao's birthday, it is also her birthday.

However, every May Day, except for her mother who secretly boiled an egg for her, no one else in the Li family cared about her birthday.

Everyone circled around Li Dabao and congratulated Li Dabao on his birthday.

She asked her mother many times why, as both her granddaughters, Sister Dabao could celebrate her birthday but she couldn’t.

Mom always said with red eyes that because grandma looked down on mother, she also looked down on her and her two younger brothers.

Li Meili didn't understand it when she was a child, and she still doesn't understand it now.

However, when she surpasses Li Dabao, she will definitely come back and ask her grandma why.

……

The dismissal bell rang, and it was time for Li Meili to finish work. She went to the west side room to say hello to Liu Caixia.

Aunt Li asked her eldest niece, "How come Meili suddenly knows how to be polite?"

Li Dong shook his head and said he didn't know.

It was getting dark, and Grandma Li couldn't see clearly, so she went to the kitchen to cook.Li Dong also got tired of picking and went to the kitchen to help.

At dinner, Grandpa Li saw the spinach salad and took out the bottle of 'ginseng wine' and a bottle of white wine.

The liquor was given to Liu Dayong, and he gave himself and Grandma Li a cup of 'ginseng wine' each.

Grandma Li was reluctant to drink, but Li Dong picked up the wine cup to feed her, so she could only take the wine cup and drink it herself.

Liu Dayong got himself a cup of white wine and drank with his father-in-law.

Grandpa Li took a sip of the 'ginseng wine' and tasted it carefully, "Why doesn't it smell like medicine?"

Grandma Li glanced sideways at her husband, "Are you taking a bite of ginseng or something?"

Li Dong pursed his lips and smiled, "Grandpa, after the ginseng is soaked, the flavor of the ginseng will be masked by the alcohol."

"And this ginseng has been soaked for a long time, and it is completely integrated with the wine. It only has the taste of wine, not ginseng."

Grandpa Li nodded and stopped talking while eating the food and wine.

Whenever he says something, his wife will quarrel with him. He used to quarrel with the third family, but now he quarrels with him.

Before the Li family's dinner was over, Li Meili came to work.

She went directly into the west side room to take care of Liu Caixia's meal.

Ergu Li thought there was something wrong, so she went to the west side room as soon as her job was put away.

Li Dong followed Aunt Li to create some difficulties for Li Meili, lest he get it too easily and become suspicious.

Aunt Li walked around and came back and asked Li Dong, "Dabao, what happened to Meili? I always feel that she is too attentive to Caixia."

"Maybe you want a headache?" Li Dong lied without blinking.

"No."

Aunt Li was worried, "I won't be at home tomorrow, so you have to keep an eye on me."

……

The next day, when Li Dong got up, Li Ergu and Liu Dayong had already gone to the commune to ginning cotton.

She took out Liu Caixia's toothbrush and squeezed out the toothpaste. When she was about to give it to Liu Caixia, she was picked up by Li Weimin.

Li Dong scooped up water and squatted by the courtyard wall to brush her teeth against the stone wall. She was suddenly stunned.

Li Meili said that the backyard was almost touched...

Xu Guixiang took Li Meili secretly to dig underground in the room where she was sleeping...

Xu Guixiang stole the aluminum box that Grandma Li had hidden in Dabao's room...

Xu Guixiang stole the silver coins hidden by Grandma Li...

Xu Guixiang asked Li Meili to learn skills...

Grass!

Isn't it a stealing skill?

Then her bankbook...

She hurriedly rinsed her mouth and entered the west side room.

Through the cracks in the stones, she saw the light from outside the house.

She was sure that Li Meili learned 90.00% of the stealing skills.

No wonder Li Meili said that if the bankbook is moved, it will be found...

Is this still considered burglary?

Can a bankbook still deceive Xu Guixiang?

Learn a craft?He should be literate, right?

……

In the small courtyard at the end of the village, while her husband was going to the toilet in the backyard, Xu Guixiang took out three bankbooks and looked through them.

She smiled broadly when she saw the two books whose money had not been moved. When she saw the one whose money had been withdrawn, she gritted her teeth in anger.

Li Dabao spends money lavishly.

Not only did he buy so many things from home, but he also bought dozens of kilograms of dried noodles and gave them to the members to say thank you to the members for going to Li's house to put out the fire and save lives.

What's even more hateful is that he also bought milk powder for Gao's sick Yangzi.

Li Meili quietly asked her mother, "Mom, I brought them all. Li Dabao has no money to buy food. What should the soldiers and the people do?"

Xu Guixiang smiled slightly, "Last night you mentioned the White Rabbit toffee, and I remembered something. Wang Hailan wanted to buy something from Li Dabao through Liu Hongying."

"If Li Dabao buys a large amount of goods from the black market, he will definitely make a profit from the price difference. What do you think, should I take down Li Dabao? Or should she make money to support the army and the people?"

Looking at her mother's smile, Li Meili thought for a while and said, "Let her make money to support the soldiers and civilians."

"We can't just ask them back just after we severed the relationship. Doesn't this clearly tell Li Dabao that we have the bankbook in our hands?"

Xu Guixiang nodded approvingly, "My daughter has grown up a lot. She knows how to analyze situations, and she also knows how to care for her younger brother."

She was about to put away the passbook in her hand, but suddenly stopped again, "Meili, look at the chapters on this page. Are they about the same condition as old?"

Li Meili looked closer and said, "It seems so."

Xu Guixiang asked her to take a look at the door. Not long after dawn, the light in the room was a little dark.

After Li Meili looked at it carefully, she turned around and went into the house to hand the passbook to her mother. "The seals in each row are almost new, and the newness of this page is about the same as the next page."

Regardless of her dizziness, Xu Guixiang got out of bed and went to the door, turning the second page and comparing it with the first page..., turning the third page and comparing it with the second page...

Her face turned gloomy, and then she planned to use the last page to compare the newness with the first page.

When she saw a row of red seals on the last page, she was so angry that she dropped her bankbook, "Li Dabao!"

"Mother, what's wrong?"

Li Meili bent down and looked at her bankbook, and of course she saw the row of red words "Fake".

She straightened up and said, "Mom, this, this must have been done by Li Dabao. She just came back from the county town yesterday."

Xu Guixiang turned around and yelled at her daughter, "You must have exposed yourself. I told you to treat this month as a training exercise, but you have to do these things in advance."

"We have been completely exposed. It will be more difficult to deal with Li Dabao in the future."

Xu Guixiang's expression was so scary that Li Meili immediately admitted her mistake, "Mom, I'm sorry, I know I was wrong. From now on, I will listen to you."

Xu Guixiang took a deep breath, turned back to the bed, "You put these three bankbooks back into her."

Li Meili looked at the three bankbooks in her hand, "Mom, can we report her for forging bankbooks to defraud the bank?"

"cannot!"

Xu Guixiang had nowhere to vent her anger because of Li Dabao's teasing, and her daughter wanted to cause trouble, which made her even more uncomfortable.

She gritted her teeth and asked, "Is your promise just a fart? You just listened to me, and you have another idea?"

"But……"

Li Meili was still unwilling, "Why don't we throw our bankbooks on the road and let others pick them up?"

"no!"

Xu Guixiang clutched her painful chest and growled, "You want to piss me off, don't you? We have been exposed, don't you understand?"

"As long as these three bankbooks appear, as long as something happens, Li Dabao will come out and identify us. Once we are in trouble, can we still hide it?"

Li Meili hurriedly put the bankbook in her pocket, "I'll go right away."
