There was a worker's son, and a city man's son-in-law. The old lady didn't suffer from starvation.

Qingchuan sent over two hundred catties of dried sweet potatoes early on. Boiling a piece of dried sweet potatoes in water can double the size. Although eating too many sweet potatoes is flatulent and heartburning, it is better than eating bark.He also brought a pack of rice noodles for his little niece, and the sister-in-law used it sparingly, and she ate it for three months in a hurry.

He will still send alimony to the old lady every month. This year, he will not send money. Instead, he will send food, which is usually more than ten catties. Sometimes it is brown rice, sometimes millet, sometimes buckwheat...the type is not accurate. Add some eggs and meat.

The old lady always imagined that her youngest son was reluctant to eat and drink, and worked so hard to collect food outside and bring it to her. She cherished the food very much and would not take it out until the critical time.In fact, Qingchuan eats and drinks pretty well every day, but he is born with blue eye circles and is not born fat.

The eldest sister also sent things from the city twice, each time with thirty or forty catties of fine grain.

Therefore, when every household was about to run out of food, Qingchuan's family lived a relatively healthy life, and they could tell by their expressions that there was no shortage of food.

The eldest brother knew that he was relying on his mother and younger brother, so he specially invited Qingchuan to dinner on New Year's Eve.In this difficult time, inviting others to dinner is only a kind of treatment that can only be treated through life-saving friendship. Where is the meal?It's fate.What's more, the elder brother's family rarely burned a fish, stewed an old hen that didn't lay eggs, and made rice cakes with glutinous rice, which was very rich.I took out all the delicious things that I was reluctant to eat on weekdays.

But Qing Chuan still refused, "No need, I have already cooked over there, there are fish and meat." He smiled a little weakly.I ran all over the village in the dark yesterday, I was like a thief, I was very sleepy today, I just wanted to sleep and nothing else.

The eldest brother didn't know the truth, he was confused by Qingchuan's weakness, and thought that the younger brother wanted to save more rations for his family, so he was so moved that he insisted on pulling a chicken leg from the old hen, insisting that Qingchuan take it back.

The hospitality was hard to come by, Qing Chuan went back with the drumsticks.From the eldest brother's house to Qingchuan's house, it takes half a village across, and Qingchuan can smell the aroma of food from other houses from time to time.There is even the fragrance of the same old hen.

Many people's hens are not nutritious and cannot lay eggs, so they are slaughtered at this time.It can be fooled at other times, the New Year's Eve dinner is always bigger, even if it is a good omen.Coupled with the opening of the door today, every family got unexpected food, so they let go. They only wanted to use wooden chickens and fish for the New Year's Eve dinner in the past, but they actually killed chickens, roasted fish, and cooked decent food.

Muji and Muyu are chickens and fish carved from wood.In the past, poor people couldn't afford chicken and duck during the New Year, so they used wooden chicken and wooden fish to set a plate.This is a new common sense that Qingchuan only learned when he came here, and he has really learned a lot.

He felt that after traveling one by one, he could become a well-informed person.

On the second day, the first day of the new year, Qingchuan opened the door, and placed two plates of candy on the table in the main room, including pumpkin seeds, fried soybeans, peanut candies, winter melon candies, etc., waiting for the children to come to the door.But no children came over until noon. A group of children were pulling their heads, their pockets were flat, and they looked like they had nothing.

That’s right, even sweet potatoes can’t be eaten these days, so where is the money left to prepare candies for the children? It would be nice to be able to fry the pumpkin seeds I collected before to entertain the children.

Qing Chuan distributed all the candies to the children, sent them away in high spirits, and closed the gate of the yard.

Today the system provided an unexpectedly large fish, the bigeye tuna, which is two meters long and weighs up to four hundred catties.This is a carnivorous fish. Carnivorous fish usually have a good taste. It is delicious raw, and it is also good as a canned fish that is easy to preserve. The liver of this fish is also very suitable for making cod liver oil.

He has basically been learning how to handle fish for the last year, and he has been "fishing" every night. He has touched all kinds of species, including bigeye tuna.

Qingchuan likes seafood very much, but due to limited conditions, he has not eaten fresh seafood for more than a year. Now that he can eat tuna, he feels really beautiful. Should such a good fish be eaten in cans or dried?Qingchuan was delighted, took out the knife for cutting fish, and began to gesture which part to cut first.

The flesh of the tuna has an attractive red color and is very firm at first glance. Qingchuan removes the fish bones and cuts the large pieces of meat into pieces.Such a big fish, even if the fish bones are removed, there are still hundreds of catties of meat. Qingchuan separates the different parts of the meat according to the quality of the meat according to the knowledge he has learned.This part is air-dried to make dried fish, this part is made into canned fish, and this part is now directly made into fried fish steaks... Arrange a fish clearly.

The system gave him a high score of 88 for his fish-cutting skills, and he was credited with 88 points. Although he can't use it, he is very happy to see the points increase every day.

He put the cut fish fillets on bamboo rafts to dry in the backyard. After the fish bones were cut, he boiled them in a large pot.The glass jars had been cleaned, and seventeen high and low shiny jars were all over the floor.He will make canned fish in a while, and he will keep some of the canned food for himself, and he can also give some to others.Last year he foolishly left all the mutton alone and ate it every few days until he got angry and smelled disgusting. This year he can't do such a stupid thing.

On the day of the second day of junior high school, the canned fish was ready. The pink and white fish meat was soaked in soybean oil fish soup. The fibers of the fish meat were very obvious. It tasted like eating meat, but it was softer and more fragile than meat. Old people and children All edible and easy to digest.

Qing Chuan carried two cans of fish and a can of cod liver to his eldest brother's house. Today his eldest sister and brother-in-law were visiting relatives, so he was going to send a can of fish to his elder sister and a can of fish liver to his niece.He goes to work every day, and his eldest brother helps him deal with most of the village affairs, and his eldest sister sent him rubber shoes a few times, and he needs to return these favors.

I was busy working in the middle of the night yesterday, and I got up late today. When Qingchuan arrived, the elder sister's family had already arrived. "This is canned fish made from sea fish. I got it by chance. It tastes good." He gave the canned food to his sister-in-law and elder sister.The little niece was originally hiding behind her mother, but when she saw Qing Chuan approaching, she immediately stretched out her hand and rushed over, being very affectionate to this uncle who often brought her delicious food.

Ok?

Picking up his niece, Qing Chuan noticed that the atmosphere in the room was rather strange, not very good.

Seeing Qing Chuan, the elder sister stretched out her hand to hold him, "Little brother, how about I ask you to do something?"

"Originally, I shouldn't bother my family with this matter. I know that the village is also in a difficult situation. It is very difficult to raise two more children. There is really no way. The eldest sister has her own difficulties. Whoever wants to take over, I will not bring them home. It's not that the eldest sister can't tolerate people, this matter...you let your brother-in-law talk about it." The eldest sister's mouth is like a machine gun, but it stops abruptly at a critical moment, leaving infinite room for imagination.

It was not half a year since she gave birth. It is reasonable to say that breastfeeding women will be plump, but the eldest sister is thinner than before. It can be seen that life in the city is indeed not so easy.Qing Chuan looked at his brother-in-law who was holding the child. The brother-in-law lowered his head, only looking at the little son in his arms.His two older children stood in the shadow behind, like two small animals hugging each other for warmth, shivering in the cold wind.

The brother-in-law looked embarrassed, and said the matter dryly.

It was just a trivial matter, the child had a conflict with the child next door, and his elder sister, who wanted face, pressed the child to apologize to others.As a result, the eldest daughter of his family was particularly wronged. It was the children of the neighbors who started it. Why should they apologize?If you're not your own mother, you don't know how to feel sorry for others.This sentence is particularly stimulating, and Elder Sister Qingchuan can't stand it. In addition, it hasn't been long since she gave birth, and she is affected by hormones, and she is also more emotional, so the two sides directly entered the Ice Age.

That's all, it's mainly because the eldest daughter of her brother-in-law's family secretly carried her little brother out.A child's thinking is simple and cruel. She feels that without her little brother, she and her brother can go back to the past, and they are everyone's little treasures.Of course, things didn't work out, and the little girl still felt morally guilty, so the child was brought back.But this time, Elder Sister Qingchuan couldn't bear it no matter what, she had to divorce or send the two children away.

His eldest daughter did such a thing, and Elder Sister Qingchuan did not hide it from others. Everyone in the relatives and neighbors knew it. When they thought that such a young child could do such a cruel thing, they felt cold in the teeth.Who is willing to accept such a natural white-eyed wolf?Even my grandpa and grandma didn't dare, and my aunts and aunts hid like the plague.In desperation, they thought of the elder sister's natal family.

How dare brother Qingchuan accept this?His eldest sister thought of Qingchuan, Qingchuan didn't have a family and had no children. "The older ones will take care of the younger ones. You just need to save food for them. I will send them their rations and clothes. Just beg you as a big sister, just raise them for two years, and I will take them back when they are older."

It's unreliable for a young bachelor to raise a little girl, and he even gave his ex-wife's child to his second-wife's brother-in-law, what do you think?Qing Chuan nodded, "Yes. Remember to transfer your student status to the town primary school. The county is too far away, so it's inconvenient to pick up and drop off in the morning and evening."

The elder sister almost cried with joy, but the elder brother-in-law's expression was a bit more complicated. He sighed and said with a straight face, "I will listen to your uncle in the future, and I will come to see you again in a while."

The older child is called Zhang Lili, who is nine years old this year, and the younger one is called Zhang Shijie, who is seven years old this year. Both siblings are not like their father, Zhang Yong, but may be like their mother, with delicate eyebrows and pointed cheeks.Later generations liked this kind of appearance quite a bit, but in this era it seems to be more aggressive.The two children's luggage was complete, including a change of clothes, bedding, and toiletries, and two big bags were stuffed.

"What's all this?" The old lady sighed.She doesn't feel good about the siblings, it's a matter of course, they want to hurt the old lady's grandson, the old lady is of course dissatisfied, now the siblings have to trouble their youngest son, even with ration subsidies , is always a bad thing.

"Mom, let's think about the best. My brother-in-law gives the two children [-] catties of grain a month. The two children can't eat that much, and the younger brother can eat a little more. The younger brother does not have an urban hukou, so it is inconvenient to buy food with money, and there is no such thing in the village." Sell ​​the excess, and now with this subsidy, you won’t be hungry.” Brother Qingchuan said.

Qing Chuan returned to his residence with his two children and a pile of luggage.Although it was a bachelor's house, it was in good order. There was already a bed in the guest room, so he cleaned it a little and took out the spare mattress and put it on.There are spare washstands, washbasins and the like, and even a writing desk.The two children watched him clean inside and out like wooden figures.

The primary school in the town starts in January. After the Chinese New Year, the siblings still have a few days to rest.After that, you must study normally, and dropping out of school is absolutely not allowed.

Qing Chuan saw that it was almost time, and was about to prepare dinner, "You should familiarize yourself with the environment first, but there are no houses nearby, so don't go far."

He didn’t need to eat a lot at night, so he took out a handful of sweet potato vermicelli and boiled them, and poured fish bone soup on them. Each bowl of noodle soup contained two large pieces of fish, and he also fried sun-dried poached eggs, sprinkled with shallots and blanched. The small green vegetables that have passed.Such a bowl of noodle soup with fish, eggs and vegetables can be entertained even in later generations, let alone this time.

"You said you were impatient to take care of the child, does your face hurt now?" The system said sourly, the host has never entertained it so warmly after we have known each other for so long.

"If you raise it for a year or two, how can it be called taking care of it? At most it's just a temporary care." Qing Chuan replied.

He went to the guest room and asked the siblings to come out for dinner, and the siblings slowly walked out of the room, like two snails who had to leave their snail shells temporarily, cautiously and very frightened.A series of encounters made them lose their temper, what was said above.Everyone thinks they are little devils who haven't grown up, but Qingchuan knows that they are cute children.

Zhang Yong said that his youngest son was almost lost by his sister. What Qingchuan felt from Zhang Lili was the fear of the back and the panic of doing something wrong.

A real devil never knows what to fear.Qingchuan has seen such natural demons before, and he deliberately went to see them one by one, those juvenile criminals who committed heinous crimes but still lived in style, some of them killed their younger brothers and sisters, some pushed strangers under the wheel, Some set fire to their own schools, and others dismembered their classmates.

Qingchuan can't feel any warmth from them, he is really hard-hearted and cold-hearted.

Disgusting enough to make you want to throw up.

So Qingchuan has never felt that he is of the same kind as that animal, he has a bottom line, and he likes all beautiful things.Children are one of the wonderful things.

On the third day of junior high school, Qingchuan was going to work, so he left lunch for his siblings. The brown rice and sweet potato porridge was warmed in the pot, and the charcoal underneath was still warm enough to keep it warm until noon.On the table is a plate of tuna fish, a stack of pickles, and a stack of scrambled eggs with chives.It is said to be a stack, because the portion is really not much, only enough for two children.

But when Qing Chuan returned home at night, he brought back a can of milk, but the dishes on the table were basically unmoved, and there was some porridge left in the pot.Qingchuan boiled a pot of porridge again, took out the fresh fish fillets left over from yesterday, marinated them briefly, and fried them in oil.He made rice for his siblings, divided the fried fish into three, and other dishes, and put them into their bowls with serving chopsticks.

"Children think too much to grow taller."

After dinner, Zhang Lili took the initiative to wash the dishes, but Qing Chuan didn't stop her. He prepared some hot water to prevent it from being too cold.After a while, he boiled the milk, added a little sugar, and divided it into three bowls. "After drinking milk, brush your teeth and wash your face, and go to bed early."

Yesterday, the eldest sister left a hundred catties of food, which she said was three months' rations for two children, and ten yuan, which was probably the legendary escrow fee.Since people give money and food, they still have to take good care of their children, otherwise, how bad is it to hold the money?

They just get along like this, the younger brother is sometimes called Uncle Qingchuan, because he can tell stories and dote on the children, and the little guy who lacks some fatherly love will deliberately find him to play with, the older sister is more defensive, Never yelled.But the little girl is very good. The siblings wash their own clothes, and they help feed the chickens and wash the dishes on weekdays, and sew the buttons themselves if they fall off.

The day before the start of school, Qingchuan took a day off, took his siblings to visit the new school, got to know the teacher, and had another meal in the town.

When school officially started, Qingchuan steamed multigrain steamed buns for the two children. Eggs, dried tofu and green vegetables were shredded and stuffed inside the steamed buns. It's rough and hard to swallow, but it's soft inside with the sweetness of pasta, "I'll pick you up later."

After all, he pushed the two children into the school gate.

"Uncle." Zhang Lili suddenly called out, "Come and pick us up earlier."

Qing Chuan took a breath, as if he had overcome the first level of a game, "Okay."

"Raising a child is like making a clay figurine. If you succeed, you will feel a sense of accomplishment. Hey, I like to be called my uncle. It's very kind. Anyway, their parents don't want them anymore. How about I take them back and raise them? Even after getting married It’s all saved.”

The system snorted coldly, and had no idea about the host who slapped himself in the face every day, "You can be a human being."
