Chen Yu unfolded the roll of banknotes, it felt quite thick and firm, as if it was old and young, but in fact, only the outermost layer was a few banknotes, and there were two food stamps inside.

Among them, the largest denomination of banknotes is five yuan, followed by one yuan with a female tractor driver on the front, two bills with two dimes, and one bill with a dime, adding up to six yuan and fifty cents.

Chen Yu: "..."

Really poor.

Chen Yu rummaged through the memories that the original owner had poured into him before he could receive them.

The money was actually given by Shen Yu's own father. At the beginning, he gave a total of more than 20 yuan, which was the only savings of that poor farmer.

Of course, from the perspective of Shen Yu, who has been in society and seen the warmth and coldness of people, Shen Yu's relatives might have borrowed the money from others. After all, the old Shen's family has not yet separated, and Shen Yu's relatives are a He won't hide his secrets, let Shen Yu's mother control all the private money in the small family.

As for why he said his own father, even if he didn't receive Shen Yu's memory, Chen Yu knew the reason. He read it clearly in the novel before time travel, which was clearer than Shen Yu himself knew.

The book Shen Yu was reading was a chronology. It told the story of the protagonist Xiao Jiahui seizing the opportunity to make a fortune in the era of reform and opening up. s story.

The original owner, Shen Yu, was one of the scumbags who were slapped in the face. Because of his special status, he lasted for a long time, almost in the first third of the entire book.

And Shen Yu's special identity is that he is the brother of the male protagonist Xiao Jiahui on the household registration book, the kind who has no blood relationship.

To put it simply, they are brothers in a reorganized family. Shen Yu's mother married Xiao Jiahui's father, and Shen Yu is Xiao Jiahui's stepbrother.

In the original book, Shen Yu's biological mother, Liang Fengxia, was an educated youth sent to the countryside. In [-], due to policy requirements, she went to Shangkanzi Village, a remote mountain village in the neighboring province, to join the team, so she met Shen Yu's biological father, Shen Anmin.

After all, the protagonist of the story is Xiao Jiahui. Liang Fengxia's experience is only briefly mentioned in the novel, and a few sentences explain that Liang Fengxia was married in the countryside and has a son who is about the same age as Xiao Jiahui.

Even Shen Anmin's name never appeared, this name was seen by Chen Yu from Shen Yu's memory.

But the relevant content left in Shen Yu's memory is much more detailed and clear. He was brought to this city by Liang Fengxia when he was in his teens, and he has already remembered it.

Living in the countryside when he was young, he often heard things related to his parents from the mouths of the poor women in the village. Those people would even deliberately tease him and say some specious things to him.

It is roughly that Liang Fengxia married Shen Anmin in those days because she was not willing to marry. She fell into the river while fetching water and was rescued by Shen Anmin. The mountain village, I don't know how many rumors it will attract.

Liang Fengxia is also a well-known beauty in the local area. It has been less than a year since she went to the countryside, and all the nearby towns and villages know that there is a beautiful female educated youth in Shangkanzi Village.

As soon as this happened, there were many shameless bastards outside the educated youth spot, not only harassing Liang Fengxia, but also other female educated youths.

Not long after, Liang Fengxia married Shen Anmin "out of helplessness".

This is the most common saying that Shen Yu has heard. When he was growing up, he often heard his mother complain that he should not marry Shen Anmin, a poor and poor country man with nothing to do. Neither will.

In the eyes of outsiders, Shen Anmin was indeed not worthy of Liang Fengxia. At that time, it had not been a few years since the educated youths went to the countryside on a large scale. Many people thought that they could return to the city. Those educated youths firmly believed that they would not stay in the countryside to farm all their lives. , so it is rare to marry a local.

Because of Liang Fengxia's outstanding appearance, there is no lack of suitors among the educated youths, and Shen Anmin, let alone comparing with those male educated youths, even among the good boys of the right age in the village, she can't be considered a pick.

There is no other reason, the Shen family is too poor.

The Shen surname is one of the common surnames in Shangkanzi Village, let alone Shen Anmin.

When Liang Fengxia married, the Shen family had not yet separated. Shen Anmin’s top family was not parents, but grandparents. Old man Shen and Mrs. Shen had four sons and four daughters. The daughters were all married, and the sons had not yet been separated. Home.

The Shen family's daughter-in-law is as fertile as her mother-in-law. Shen Anmin has more than a dozen cousins ​​and four biological brothers and sisters, and he is the third child.

Chen Yu, who looked through the complex patrilineal relationship network: "... No wonder the country issued a propaganda slogan 'Fewer sons, more trees'."

With so many sons in the Shen family, it would cost a lot of money just to marry them. It was because the cost of marriage was always unclear, so until Shen Anmin got married, the Shen family couldn't separate the family.

When Shen Anmin and Liang Fengxia got married, they were already 22. At that time, the older unmarried youths in the countryside could not marry a wife because they were poor.

Shen Anmin is a simple and honest character who is not good at words. After marrying Liang Fengxia, it can be said that he listened to his parents in the outside world, and listened to his wife in the small family.

In Shen Yu's memories of the past ten years, there was never a time when his father and his mother were red-faced. Even if Liang Fengxia was angry and scolded him to hit him, he would just stand there without saying a word, and wait for her to lose her temper before boiling water to wipe her face and wash her hands.

The most intense emotional expression of this man was when Liang Fengxia found a chance to return to the city, forced Shen Anmin to divorce, and took Shen Yu away shortly afterwards.

Shen Yu didn't know why Liang Fengxia brought Shen Yu back to the city, he thought it was because his mother hated him.Compared with his taciturn father, he had a better relationship with his mother since he was a child. Liang Fengxia also said at that time that she would take him to the city to live a good life.

But Shen Yu still remembers that the night before he left, his father secretly slipped the 20 yuan to him, sighed and said, let him take good care of himself, if he is not doing well, he will come back, his father is at home, He will never miss a bite of food.

But since he was a child, he heard his mother tell too much about how to be good in the city, and Shen Yu had already flown to the big city he longed for with his immature heart.

It wasn't until he came to this strange family that he realized that his mother had remarried and his stepfather had a pair of children, the eldest son was as old as him.

Chen Yu felt lost in his heart, and Xiao Shenyu's panicked appearance became clearer and clearer in his mind as he looked through the received memories, as if he had really experienced that embarrassment.

There were six members of the Xiao family at the time, including stepfather Xiao Jianshe, Shen Yu's biological mother Liang Fengxia, Xiao Jianshe's parents, and Xiao Jiahui and Xiao Jiaxin, sons and daughters of Xiao Jianshe's ex-wife.

Then there was another Shen Yu, redundant Yu.

Shen Yu's arrival was not welcomed by his stepfather Xiao Jianshe's family, and he didn't know what Liang Fengxia said about touching Xiao Jianshe. He was a big man, but at most he turned a blind eye to Shen Yu, but Xiao Jiahui and Xiao Jiaxin's brothers and sisters clearly showed their respect for Shen Yu. The old lady of the Xiao family treated Shen Yu like a thief.

In the isolated and helpless environment, Xiao Shenyu yearns for family affection more and more, and his personality gradually distorts in the oppressive environment.

Family?Ah.

Chen Yu sneered, that little idiot Shen Yu couldn't understand it, but as an outsider, combined with the plot of the original book, could he still understand it?

He dared to say that this woman Liang Fengxia was the same as his own mother, but one was a scumbag, and the other was good at pretending and acting, and deceived Shen Yu, a little fool.

Chen Yu carefully re-rolled the money ticket and stuffed it back into the crack of the wall to hide it. Since Shen Yu has hidden the money here for so many years and has not been found, it means that this is a safe place. He is a newcomer and cannot change places rashly.

After hiding the only little savings, the memory that should be received was also received, Chen Yu opened the bed curtain, and the small space suddenly became much brighter.

Putting on the rag shoes by the bed, the soles were almost worn out, Chen Yu didn't take it seriously, and slipped forward with the broken box next to him, stretching his legs out of the doorway, hanging in mid-air, unable to get down .

It stands to reason that since his sleeping place is placed in mid-air, he should be given a convenient way to go up and down, at least get a ladder.

No.

Xiao's house has a wooden ladder placed behind the door, and Shen Yu would move the ladder over to climb up to his den at night after everyone else had gone to bed.

It's best to get up early in the morning, and put the ladder back after going down, otherwise there will inevitably be a lot of complaints. After all, the Xiao family lives in a house of less than [-] square meters, and everything in the house is conspicuous if it is a little more.

Now Shen Yu has a fever and stays at home alone, and whoever thought it was in the way removed the ladder from which he went down.

In order to save space, Shen Yu's nest was kept very low, about two meters above the ground.If his original body, even if he was a cripple, he would definitely jump down without saying a word, jumping over walls and alleys since he was a child, Chen Yu knows how to relieve his strength.

Now……

Chen Yu supported his arms on the bed, and gave up this idea.

In addition to the weakness caused by illness, Shen Yu's body was obviously malnourished, and there were no muscles in his small body. If he just jumped like this, he might be crippled again.

He turned sideways, rummaged through the broken box, and found two long-sleeved clothes, tied the sleeves of one of them through the gap in the bed board, and tied the other to the previous clothes in the same way. There are two circular pads.

After tugging hard to make sure the plank was still solid, Chen Yu jumped off from it with a simple homemade "rope ladder".

With his feet on the ground, Chen Yu took two steps in place with surprise.

He is really not lame!

The room is so small that it is difficult to turn around, otherwise he would have to run around a few times.

Qiao Shi was happy for a while, but the continuous groaning sound interrupted Shen Yu's self-entertainment, he clutched his stomach that was convulsed by hunger, and remembered his purpose of coming down - he wanted to eat.

When eating breakfast at home in the morning, Shen Yu felt dizzy with a fever, as if Liang Fengxia had come to call him, but he didn't wake up, and then he didn't eat breakfast.

I came back late last night. I only caught up with the end of the meal and ate half a bowl of corn porridge with clear soup and little water.

Since Chen Yu woke up in this body, he was overwhelmed by the persistent hunger. He also ate a meal when he was hungry, and he was full when he was hungry, so when he grows up and is able to earn money, he can eat all kinds of hardships. Just don't want to go hungry.

He walked to the gate, the door was closed, and he stretched out his hand to pull it, but it couldn't be opened.

I ran to the window and looked sideways. There was a big lock on the door.

Chen Yu was not in a hurry, he guessed it.

The old lady of the Xiao family took her own things very seriously. Usually, she had to chase a piece of wood that the neighbors used her as firewood to get it back, and she had to pay some interest.Shen Yu is the only one at home now, if she wants to go out, of course she has to lock the door tightly.

Turned around in the public space where he was allowed to move around, making sure he didn't see the food left for him, Chen Yu turned his head and stared at the cabinet on the right side of the living room against the wall.

There is also a lock hanging on the cabinet, but it is not as big as the one on the door outside.

Chen Yu stood expressionlessly in front of the cabinet for a while, then turned around and rummaged through the debris pile in the corner for a while.

Mr. Xiao works in a furniture factory, and he can often get back some discarded scraps from the factory. Chen Yu got a small piece of thin iron wire from one of the wooden blocks.

A child who grew up alone, although he is not a crooked child, has also learned some messy "crafts".

It has not been used for a long time, and the craftsmanship is a little rusty, but most of the ordinary locks at this time are relatively simple, and they were opened in a short while.

There is a large bowl of corn porridge on the outermost side of the cupboard, which should be left over from the morning.

This body had just had a fever, and his throat was dry, Chen Yu immediately reached out to pick up the bowl, and then saw that the mouth of the bowl was obviously the mark of porridge water left when people drank porridge.

Chen Yu stopped holding the bowl, and silently put the bowl back.

There was food in the cupboard under the cupboard, but the kitchen was at the end of the corridor.

Chen Yu had no choice but to move the half bowl of porridge to the side, then searched inside, and found a bowl of boiled eggs.

There are six eggs in the big sea bowl, and the bottom two are still warm, obviously freshly boiled this morning.

Of the four children in the Xiao family, only Liang Fengxia and Xiao Jianshe's youngest son, Xiao Jiayao, do not need to bring meals. The other three, including Shen Yu, usually have to bring meals at noon when they go to school.

The rice made in one pot, even if Mrs. Xiao is eccentric, on the bright side, at most it is for Xiao Jiahui and Xiao Jiaxin's buns and steamed buns to be bigger and more rice.

In private, like this, nine eggs were boiled in one pot, one for each child surnamed Xiao, Shen Yu didn't have one, and the remaining six were left for Xiao Jiahui and the others to eat in the next two days.

Doesn't Shen Yu know?How could he not know that Xiao Jiahui was in his class and never shy away from him when eating eggs.Xiao Jiayao didn't like egg yolks, and once secretly picked out the egg yolks and threw them at him.

It's just that Shen Yu pretended not to know, he had low self-esteem and no confidence.

Mrs. Xiao always pointed at Sang and scolded Huai, saying how much more people spent more, how much more food they ate, and so on.Even Liang Fengxia, who is a mother, clearly knows everything. When Mrs. Xiao scolded him, she never acted as if she could not understand. She also said that it was hard work for your mother to study for you and live in the city. You have to be sensible A little bit, be more considerate and considerate of mother.

If your mother hadn't brought you to the big city, you would have been like your father, scrambling for food for the rest of your life, with no future in sight.

So Shen Yu kept all his emotions in his heart, seeing Xiao Jiahui eating eggs, he was so greedy that he swallowed, and dared not say anything.

But actually?When Liang Fengxia returned to the city, she had a quota to bring her children back to the city with urban hukou, and all children with urban hukou had a monthly food quota and were issued food stamps.

Although it costs money to buy, the price of grain is very low at this time. Fine grains are only one or two cents per catty, and millet and cornmeal are only a few cents per catty. What is lacking is not money, but food stamps.

Shen Yu was young at that time, he ate little, and he didn't dare to eat more. He never finished his monthly food quota, but he used up all the food stamps that belonged to him.

Chen Yu twitched the corners of his mouth sarcastically, stretched out his legs and hooked up a stool, and sat down next to the cabinet with the bowl in his arms.

He took two that were still warm first, tapped on the wall, and peeled them skillfully, one for two, one for two.

In less than 5 minutes, there was only a pile of egg shells left in the bowl.
