The Counterattack of the Cannon Fodder Man

Ning Xiaocao tugged at Ning Jiannan's sleeve and whispered, "Now that the children have grown up, should we plan for our own little family..."

It was a pity that Ning Xiaocao was deliberately provoking Ning Jiannan, who was already deep in sleep. He impatiently peeled off the woman's hand: "I still have to work tomorrow, and you keep nagging..."

Before he could finish his words, Ning Jiannan started snoring.

In the third room, Chen Xia watched her two daughters fall asleep. She also stretched out her hand towards Ning Jianxi and said, "Dad, let's have another boy."

Chen Xia's family favored boys over girls, and she was unconsciously influenced by her family. Fortunately, although her family favored boys over girls, they did not let her daughter become a vampire and take things from her husband's family back to her parents' home.

Feeling his wife's enthusiasm, Ning Jianxi also leaned over.

"Okay, give birth to a son."

Rural people in this era are obsessed with boys. Ning Jianxi likes his two daughters very much, but he still hopes to have a son.

Sooner or later, the two daughters will get married, and when their parents leave, they will separate and he and Chen Xia will probably be the only ones left at home. When he gets old, he also has to worry about his affairs after his death.

Ning Jianbei was always worried about having a precious ginseng at home. The next day, during breakfast, Ning Jianbei asked his mother to go to the town.

"Mom, you've been tired these past few days. I'm going to the town today to buy some meat for my family. I'll also check to see if they need some needles, thread, laundry detergent, etc., and bring them back.

You see, you and my father have both had a lot of gray hair. My brothers have been tired these days, so let’s make some meat for a good meal today.”

Ning Jianbei said these words in a teasing tone, but Zhang Cuihua and Ning Cungen were very moved. Their youngest child was still caring.

The other sons are usually dull-witted and don't know how to care about the old couple.

But going to the town means spending money. Thinking of spending money, Zhang Cuihua felt a little sad: "It's not that we don't have dried rabbit meat at home. If you want to eat meat, get one today.

There is no need to go to town to spend money to buy pork, and there doesn’t seem to be anything to buy at home.” She was touched, but when it came to spending money, Zhang Cuihua couldn’t bear it.

When the children heard that their uncle was going to the town to buy pork, their eyes turned from bright to dull. Compared with the children in the village, their family was already doing well.

But eating meat is still children’s favorite thing, and no other meat is more delicious than pork.

"Mom, I want to eat pork~"

Ning Jianbei shamelessly pulled his mother's sleeves and shook them. It was a bit corny for a grown man to do this, but his mother couldn't help but fall for it.

The brothers and sisters-in-law around him twitched their lips. The fourth child was really shameless at his age. It was really unbearable to see the children here.

Zhang Cuihua couldn't stand her younger son's coquetry anymore, so she finally nodded.

"Go ahead, and come back early after buying the meat!"

Zhang Cuihua took out a wrinkled thirty-cent and five-cent note from her pocket, of which the five-cent note was for Ning Jianbei to ride in the village's ox cart.

Although he could walk to the town, it would take two hours. She didn't want the fourth child to walk so far, so she gave him money for the ox cart.

Looking at this scene, the other rooms also had puzzled expressions.

Some of my children are in junior high school in the town and now live in the school dormitory. Others are in primary school in the village, a bunch of primary school students.

When they heard that their uncle could go to town, they said enviously, "Grandma, we want to go to town too!" Those of them who went to school in the village had never been to town.

I heard from my older brothers and sisters who are studying at home that there are many delicious and fun things in town.

Knowing that his uncle was going to town, everyone else thought that he must be going out to have fun. Only Ning Changshou knew that his father was actually going to sell ginseng.

Today he saw his father in the room carefully wrapping up the ginseng and holding it against his chest, preparing to sell this good thing today.

"Okay, Mom, I'll leave now. The earlier we go, the better chance we have to buy some fatty meat!" Ning Jianbei got the message that he could go to the town, so he picked up two pancakes and went out.

With this ginseng carefully placed on his chest, he was so excited that he couldn't wait to sell it for a good price.

"Hey, slow down! Drink some water before you go!"

Zhang Cuihua even poured him some cold water. This treatment was much better than that of her other sons.

······

"Son, eat quickly."

Zhao Chuntao watched the mother and son being so clingy and didn't join in the fun, but instead used her chopsticks to eat faster. Whatever went into her stomach was hers.

"Mom, I'm full, you can eat more..."

Ning Zhixu felt helpless when he saw his mother's foodie appearance. Fortunately, there was no oil and water in this era, so he couldn't get fat no matter how much he ate. He even shared the food in his bowl with his mother, so he wasn't too hungry...

The staple food at home is usually distributed, and sometimes the meat is also distributed. Whoever is given it gets it, and there is no need to fight for it. As for other dishes, you need to fight for them. If you are slow, you will miss out.

Ning Jianbei ran to the town and actually bought a pound of fat meat. Then he went to various major hospitals that purchased medicinal materials to inquire, and finally even went to the black market.

This ginseng was about 60 or 70 years old. As the place was remote and he couldn't afford the price, Ning Jianbei finally exchanged it for 600 yuan, and used another 300 yuan to get a temporary job as a transport worker in the town.

It was a coincidence. He was planning to find a job, but he happened to meet someone who was selling a temporary job for a transport team.

The person who was selling his job was also a driver of the transport team and a veteran in the team. He was assigned a temporary job this time, and since no one in his family needed it, he sold it.

The price of temporary workers is different from that of regular workers. It is already very good for a temporary worker to be able to sell for 300 yuan. Learning to drive in the transport team definitely requires some brains and skills. It is really impossible for ordinary people to be competent.

Even if you become a temporary worker, you still need to be assessed whether you can become a regular employee.

After finishing all these, Ning Jianbei went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some soft snacks and candies. The snacks were naturally taken home to eat for his wife and son.

After getting this job, Ning Jianbei felt that the family division action needed to be put on the agenda. He got this job purely because of his son, not other people in the family.

If the other families knew that he had a job, I wonder if they would have other ideas, or ask him to pay more for the household expenses.

Ning Jianbei never thinks that it would make sense to suffer a loss, and it is impossible for others to take advantage of him.

Ning Changshou, who picked a ginseng yesterday, plans to make a home for himself these days and stay at home honestly. As for the wild grass, mushrooms and pheasant eggs he brought back yesterday, Zhang Cuihua still praised them.

The only one who is so capable at such a young age is their little grandson Fubao.
