"Grandma, I'm back. Is there anything to eat at home? I'm almost starving."

As soon as Banggeng returned to the courtyard gate after school, he shouted loudly in the direction of the Jia family. When no one answered, he looked up.

I saw Jia Zhang sitting at the door, recalling the past, wiping her tears and crying until her eyes were swollen like peaches.

The two younger sisters sat nervously at the table, their faces filled with fear, not daring to breathe as they looked at their grandmother crying at the door.

He quickly asked, "Grandma, why are you sitting here crying?" After asking the question, he walked forward, put Jia Zhang's hand on his shoulder, and wanted to help her up.

But he was still young after all. Although he was strong among his peers, he was still unable to lift up Jia Zhang's heavy body.

After shaking and struggling for a while, he fell on her head. The pain made Jia Zhang's face turn blue and she gasped.

After a pause, he cursed, "Bang Geng, you want to kill me? You two are so heartless. I raised you with all my heart."

"How could you do this to me? Old Jia, why did you just leave by yourself and leave me alone to suffer in this world..."

Bang Geng had good intentions but ended up doing something bad. He was very upset. When he heard what his grandmother said, he pouted and looked unhappy:

"Grandma, I just wanted to help you get up and lie down on the kang for a while. I didn't fall on you on purpose. Why do you say that to me?"

After saying that, he stood up, patted his hands and the dust off his body, ignored Jia Zhang, and walked back home angrily.

When Jia Zhang saw that her eldest grandson was angry and ignored her, she felt a pang in her heart. She quickly got up from the ground and followed him back home.

Banggeng was so angry today that he took out his homework and started doing it without waiting for Qin Huairu to get off work to urge him.

After washing her face, Jia Zhang felt a little disappointed when she saw that her eldest grandson did not stick to her and complain about being hungry like he used to.

After pretending to sew the insole a few times, she finally couldn't hold back and said to Banggeng, "Banggeng, it was grandma who was wrong just now. Don't be angry, okay?"

Banggeng seemed not to have heard her words. He said nothing, staring at the notebook on the table with his chubby face stubbornly, pretending to be doing his homework seriously.

Jia Zhang took a closer look and saw that he had only written a few words. He had already stopped writing when he heard what Jia Zhang said.

Banggeng's indifferent look was too different from usual. Jia Zhang couldn't adapt to it all at once. After thinking for a while, she reluctantly said:

"Bang Geng, you're hungry, so let me take you to buy some meat buns, how about that?"

When he heard that he could eat meat buns, Banggeng swallowed his saliva unconsciously and was about to answer his grandmother.

My younger sister Xiaodang said timidly, "Grandma, I want to eat meat buns, too."

Then the youngest Huaihua whispered, "Huaihua, eat... buns too." After saying that, she immediately hid behind her sister.

"Why are you eating meat buns, little girl? Your brother is growing up, so he needs to eat meat buns."

"He's the only man in our family. Let him eat more. When he grows up, he can protect all the girls in our house. You two should stop joining in the fun, okay?"

Fearing that the two little girls would go with her, Jia Zhang immediately resorted to some deceiving tactics and started to scold the two children.

When Xiaodang and Huaihua heard her words, they couldn't help but nod. But thinking about not being able to eat the meat buns, Xiaodang's eyes immediately turned red.

Seeing this, Bang Geng said to Jia Zhang: "Grandma, let's go buy some meat buns. I'm starving."

Seeing that her eldest grandson finally took the initiative to talk to her, Jia Zhang immediately put on a smiling face and said, "Okay, I'll listen to my eldest grandson. Great! Let's go."

After saying that, he took Banggeng's hand and walked out the door. Without looking back at Xiaodang and Huaihua, he ordered:

"You two wait at home. Your mother will come back to cook for you. Do you hear me?"

Seeing the two little girls nodded at the same time, he muttered: "The little girls are raised by someone else's family, and they still want to eat meat buns. Why don't you go to heaven?"

Just as Jia Zhang and Bang Geng walked to the entrance of the alley, Qin Huairu hurried back with a lunch box and was a little surprised to see the grandparents and grandchildren:

"Mom, it's time for dinner. Where are you and Bang Geng going?"

"Well, we've already eaten, let's go buy something together. You go home and eat with those two girls, and then we can go together."

After Jia Zhang finished speaking, she hurriedly pulled the stick and quickened her pace.

When Qin Huairu returned home, her two daughters were staring at the door. When they saw their mother come home, their eyes immediately turned red and they started sobbing.

Xiaodang cried for a while, then looked up at Qin Huairu: "Mom, does grandma hate us? She took my brother to buy meat buns but not us."

When little Huaihua saw her sister crying, she also started crying. She was the youngest in the family and although she couldn't express herself, she could feel it deeply.

Qin Huairu felt sad. This was not the first time that her mother-in-law, who favored sons over daughters, treated them differently. She could only hug her two daughters and comfort them:

"Xiaodang, stop talking nonsense. Mom is back with the food. You two should go wash your hands quickly. It's time for lunch."

After all, they were children. When they heard that there was food, the two little girls wiped their faces and went to wash their hands obediently. Qin Huairu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this.

When he saw a few more of Jia Zhang's dirty clothes piled in the wash basin, he became furious and walked forward to dump all the clothes on the ground.

After stomping and kicking hard for a while, he finally felt relieved. He took the clothes and put them back in the basin, then went to have dinner with his two daughters.

On the other side, Lin Dong came and had a good chat with Stationmaster Ji. After a meal of hotpot, Stationmaster Ji even put his arm around his shoulder and insisted on adopting him as his godson.

Lin Donglai couldn't refuse, so he had to go with him. Having a godfather who was a leader in the supply and marketing cooperative was a very good thing.

Before leaving, Stationmaster Ji told him that he had already secured the sugar the factory needed and asked him to go and get it in the next two days. He also left his phone number for easy contact.

Unexpectedly, things went so smoothly. After telling Stationmaster Ji, Lin Donglai rode back to the courtyard, whistling all the way.

As soon as I pushed the car back into the yard, I heard a burst of noise coming from the yard. Many people gathered in the middle yard to watch the excitement.

My sister should be having dinner at Sha Zhu's house in the Central Courtyard at this time. Lin Donglai was afraid that this matter had something to do with his sister, so he quickly parked the car and squeezed in through the crowd.

It turned out that it was not someone else but Xu Damao and his wife who were arguing. Lou Xiao'e insisted on going home with her things, but Xu Damao held her back and wouldn't let her go.

In desperation, she shouted "Help", which attracted everyone in the yard and they surrounded the couple.

Xu Damao never thought that he was caught by Lou Xiao'e who was passing by while just drinking in the restaurant.

He went in, pulled his ear and started to scold him: "Xu Damao, didn't you say you were going to the countryside? Why are you here in the tavern? huh?"

He was startled, and when he looked up, he saw Lou Xiao'e looking like she wanted to eat him, so he quickly broke free and ran towards the yard...
