Ever since Mr. Tang left, they had been living on tenterhooks, fearing that they would be implicated. Fortunately, no one made it difficult for them.

Later, when the whole country was liberated, the clan members were initially afraid that Mr. Tang would still hate them, so they did not dare to contact Mr. Tang. After a few years of worry, I discovered that Mr. Tang had no intention of contacting them. Later, I felt guilty and embarrassed to contact him.

"It wasn't until your eldest brother passed away and our family's life became increasingly difficult that we had to contact you." The eldest grandma said.

"If it weren't for the fact that life is really unbearable now, we wouldn't have come all the way to the capital. Third uncle, for the sake of my dead father-in-law, please help us." Auntie said from the side.

"Sister-in-law, are you so confused as to help you? What exactly are you going to help with and how? You can't explain clearly. We don't know if we can help either." Mr. Tang and Mrs. Tang couldn't say anything. When he opened his mouth, he didn't immediately agree.

"That's it..." The cousin looked at the children and was embarrassed to speak.

"Zhanbo, Tangbao, you two are taking Zhaodi and Baogen for a walk. It's their first time here. Take them to the courtyard to have a look." Tang's mother moved the children away knowingly.

Well, although Tang Xin also wanted to hear the reason why they came all the way from their hometown, her aunt felt that this was not something that children should hear, so she might as well take them for a walk.

"Sister Zhaodi, brother Baogen, come with us for a walk. Take a look at the courtyard in Beijing." Tang Xin greeted the two of them.

Baogen immediately responded happily. He could not sit still for a long time. Zhaodi looked at her mother. When her cousin nodded, she got up and followed Tang Xin and Zhanbo out.

Looking at the children in the courtyard, although the clothes they wore were not new, they were all unpatched. Zhao Di looked at her patched clothes and her sleeves that were too short, and unconsciously retracted her hands. He was tugging at his sleeves hard.

She looked at the sugar baby's beautiful clothes with envy. In addition, when I saw the small leather shoes on Tang Xin's feet and then looked at the melaleuca soles on my own feet, I felt even more sad. From the conversation, I learned that Tang Xin was already in junior high school at a young age, but she didn't even go to school. Her mother said it was useless for girls to go to school, but Baogen went to school at home. The emotion in her heart couldn't be described as just envy. .

They are both girls, and they are both girls from the Old Tang family. Why is there such a big difference? Is it just because she is in the country and Tang Xin is in the city? If I could stay in the city, would I be able to be like Tang Xin?

Tang Xin didn't know that such a big change had occurred in Zhaodi's heart in this short period of time.

Although the adults didn't let her hear what happened, who was Tang Xin? That's a clever little devil. She found out the reason from Baogen's mouth.

It turned out that they came here because of the uncle. Tang Xin was still wondering why they were the only ones here, but the men at home didn't come. At first, she thought that the uncle was gone. After listening to Baogen's description, Tang Xin was really speechless.

It turns out that the receptionist is also an honest and hard-working person. Although the family cannot live a prosperous life relying on his single labor force, at least they cannot go hungry. However, drought began to occur in my hometown this summer, and there was no food harvest at all in the fall. Fortunately, I can still eat in the big cafeteria, at least I won't starve to death.

But in October, the canteen was suddenly cancelled. Although each family was allocated some food, it was not enough to eat, especially Baogen. Children at such an old age are just about the time when they can eat. They don’t have enough to eat at home every day. Just call. Grandma felt sorry for her, so she saved her own food, and even reduced the rations of her mother and sister. But I still couldn’t eat enough, and my father felt distressed when he saw it. At that time, the potatoes in the commune had begun to be harvested. Fortunately, the potatoes were drought-resistant and there was still a small harvest. So many people took desperate risks and stole some potatoes in the dark so that their families could have more food.

The lobby uncle also went there, and I don’t know if he was unlucky. Others were fine, but he was discovered when he went there. Then he accidentally set fire to the brigade’s warehouse while he was escaping. Although there was nothing inside, this was Damage to public property. Coupled with the theft, he was used as a model to serve as a warning.

"The brigade has said that there are two ways. One is to go to jail and be sentenced to 1 to 2 years, and the other is to pay a fine of 500 yuan. But how can we have so much money at home? But if we don't pay, my father will have to go to jail. Prison." Zhao Di said in a low voice.

Oh, no wonder, that's why they come here. Tang Xin really had nothing to say. This was something she could not participate in.

Soon it was noon, and Zhan Bo took a few people back. He didn’t know what the adults said, but he didn’t see anything on their faces. During lunch, Tang Xin gained experience, and Zhao Di was better. Bao Gen and his mother had such a great meal. As soon as the steamed buns with mixed noodles were served, without waiting for the adults to start the meal, Bao Gen directly took two of them, paying no attention to the food. If you don't want to eat, just stuff it into your mouth. Yes, plug.

There were two tables for lunch. Grandpa, grandma, uncle, and Dad Tang were at the same table with my cousin. The eldest aunt, Tang's mother and cousin took the children to the table. My cousin also picked up the staple food as soon as it came on the table. She put the steamed buns into her son's hands while picking up the vegetables, and then she didn't forget to call her daughter, Zhaodi, to eat quickly. He was talking while eating, asking his aunt to help pour water and soup, and he sprayed saliva all over the table. Looking at it, Tang Xin really couldn't eat, and even her eldest aunt and Tang's mother didn't eat much. Fortunately, my brother had quick eyesight and quickly grabbed a steamed bun for his sister when he saw Baogen doing that.

A few of them had eaten at noon, but Tang Xin was not full. The eldest aunt saw that Tang Xin felt distressed, so she quietly stuffed her with a piece of pastry, which the eldest uncle had bought for the old man a few days ago, and asked Tang Xin to eat it quietly in his grandfather's study.

Tang Xin was really hungry, so she hid in her grandfather's study to get something to eat without refusing.

Who knew that Zhao Di had been staring at her, and she became more cautious when she saw her eldest aunt calling her away. She whispered to Baogen, and then walked to her mother and said that she envied Tang Xin's life, her clothes were all The shoes are new, and they are leather shoes. Her family must have a good environment. Her and her brother's clothes are so worn out, and they don't want new ones. Can Tang Xin and her brother give them some of the clothes they don't want.

This was the move for Di's mother. The third uncle lived in such a good house and had a nanny at home, so he must not be short of money. The conditions of the third uncle's family and the third brother's family seemed to be good, so they took the children to Tang Dynasty. Mom came forward, "Brothers and sisters, are you busy?" Zhao Di's mother said with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, we are almost done, what do you want?" Tang Ma asked, putting down her work.

"Ah, that's nothing. I just want to ask you. You see, our children are about the same age, but they are both taller than ours. I just want to ask if your children have any small clothes that we can give us. As long as it’s not worn, our children’s clothes haven’t been changed in several years, and we can’t afford to keep them patched one after another.” As she spoke, Zhao Di’s mother wiped away her tears.

Upon seeing this, Tang's mother quickly stopped her, "Sister-in-law, look at what you said, there are a few small clothes at home for the two children. It's not easy for anyone at this time. If you don't mind waiting for me to go home and tidy up, Send it here."

"I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it. I see that Tang Xin's clothes are as good as new. I really envy Tang Xin that she always has new clothes to wear, unlike me." Zhao Di said hurriedly.

"Those were just worn. She doesn't have an older sister, so she can't wear her brother's leftovers for her child, right? After all, she is a girl." Tang's mother was a little dissatisfied with Zhaodi's words, but she still explained.

Just as he was talking, Jiang Wenbai heard that Tang Xin and the others were coming, so he came over excitedly. When he saw that there were guests in the Tang family, he felt very embarrassed. His eldest aunt told him that Tang Xin was in the study and asked him to find them by himself.

As soon as Tang Ma finished speaking, Jiang Wenbai's shout rang out from the study: "Stop, what are you doing?"
