Small Shop Owner in the 1960s

Perhaps ashamed, Xu Jiansheng returned to the city in the afternoon instead of staying at home. It is estimated that when she left, she left money for the old lady. At night, the old lady was not embarrassing the two sisters Xu Nannan, but just satirized Xu Nannan at the dinner table.

"A girl movie is just a fate, so don't even think about climbing up."

"Don't blame me, your mother was a scumbag, and she gave birth to you as a scumbag."

Xu Nannan's mother, Li Jing, was born in a landlord's house. However, Li Jing is not the young lady of the landlord's house, but the servant's daughter. At that time, servants traded. Xu Nannan's grandmother and grandfather sold themselves to the landlord's house during the famine years, and even Li Jing was also a subordinate of the landlord's house. Before liberation, Li Jing had served the young lady of the landlord's house for several years. So the old lady has always looked down upon the Li family. It was also because Xu Jiansheng was at war outside, not knowing his life or death, that the old lady agreed to the marriage between the two.

But no one thought that Li Jing was lucky and Xu Jiansheng not only lived, but also became a small cadre. Li Jing suddenly became the officer's wife.

The old lady became unbalanced and wanted to learn from her daughter-in-law, but the son was assigned to work in the city, and the daughter-in-law followed. Later, the two sisters Xu Nannan came back. The old lady took the opportunity now.

The old lady couldn't swallow this breath because she became an official wife but couldn't give birth to a son.

The old lady scolded Li Jing, and Xu Nannan had no opinion at all. The two girls became ill, and the mother did not come back to take a look. They were worse than Xu Jiansheng. There is no need for her fake daughter to work hard for a mother and an old lady like her.

After eating, the two sisters ate some biscuits in the room. With a full stomach, Xu Nannan scrubbed Xu Xiaoman's body, and then told Xu Xiaoman a story.

In the darkness, slowly only the sound of breathing remained.

For a long time, Xu Nannan shouted, "Xiao Man?"

Xiao Man didn't respond, and the little snore clearly made her sleep soundly.

Xu Nannan closed his eyes and entered the Taobao store.

Xu Jiansheng didn't help her this time, and she could only rely on herself. No matter what, working in the ground is definitely not a long-term solution. The job that Aunt Osmanthus said is better than working in the field, and Aunt Osmanthus also showed her a clear path. As long as she has a good relationship with Uncle Gensheng's house, there will always be a chance to change the status quo in the future.

Xu Nannan didn't want to stay in the countryside all the time, she wanted to go into the city. With a goal, she will act without hesitation.

After searching a lot in Taobao shop, Xu Nannan finally found the milk powder in a bag. In order not to make people doubt, she deliberately looked for the kind of milk powder with no date on the packaging, and the packaging style is also in line with the aesthetics of this era. It is not easy to doubt.

Thanks to the omnipotent Taobao, you can find everything.

Seeing two bags of milk powder, Xu Nannan let out a sigh of relief. It happened to be one bag for Xiao Man to replenish his body, and the other bag to Uncle Gen Sheng's house.

Uncle Gen Sheng has just added a grandson to his family, and he is also the eldest grandson. Uncle Gen Sheng's daughter-in-law is afraid of turning into her mouth as a baby. But now that the disaster year has just passed, all households are experiencing difficulties. Uncle Gensheng’s situation is not good. The children can only drink some rice soup and paste with them. They are severely malnourished. When Xu Nannan saw this last time, this Children with thin arms are like small bamboo poles. With this bag of milk powder, Uncle Gensheng's family must be very happy.

Taking advantage of the night, Xu Nannan carried a bag of milk powder in his arms, got out of his hut, and walked to Xu Gensheng's house with a cat on his waist.

In these days, the village hadn't been powered on yet, and the homes were all lighted by oil lamps. No one is willing to spend their oil on lighting the lamp, and they fall asleep at night.

Xu Gensheng had already fallen asleep at home, but the little grandson at home was always noisy at night, and the family couldn't sleep well.

No way, the child drank some rice soup at night, and his mother could only drink a little mash all day long, the milk was almost gone, the child didn't have enough food, and he could only cry at night. Xu Gensheng's daughter-in-law, Liu Dahong, had already turned her white hair, and blamed Xu Gensheng for the man's uselessness, and she couldn't buy some life-saving rice noodles for the child. Not to mention rice noodles, you can always get some kudzu noodles, but these days, kudzu noodles are only available to people in the city, and you can't buy them if you have a ticket.

"Knocking"

"Uncle Gensheng, are you asleep?"

After several soft knocks, Xu Nannan's voice sounded. Everyone in the village is familiar with it. When I heard this voice, I knew it was Xu Nannan, the second girl of the Xu family.

Xu Gensheng took a strange look at the couple. Liu Dahong said, "What is she doing now?"

"How do I know." Xu Gensheng also felt strange, but he went to open the door. You can't let your kids wait outside all the time.

As soon as Xu Nannan entered the house, he said, "Uncle Gensheng, I heard Tiger Head crying."

Hutou is the nickname of Xu Gensheng's grandson.

Xu Gensheng frowned, "The child is hungry."

"I guessed so, so I gave the tiger head something to eat." Xu Nannan took out a bag of powdered milk from his arms, "Uncle, this is powdered milk. I heard that children in big cities eat this. The child ate it. After that, he will not only be hungry, but also grow up and be smart."

Anyway, I don't know if it will work or not, just keep talking about the benefits.

When Xu Gensheng heard it, his eyes really brightened, and his heart was moved. It's just that he also knows that this thing is not easy to handle. There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world, not to mention such a good thing, he can't buy it in any way.

Seeing that Xu Gensheng hadn’t spoken all the time, Liu Dahong inside couldn’t wait, and walked out with the child in her arms. "Nannan, how embarrassed this is. Such a good thing must cost a lot of money. This is your dad." Do you know what you brought back?"

Xu Nannan shook his head, "I don't know about my milk." As for whether Xu Jiansheng bought it, she didn't say clearly.

Liu Dahong looked at the bag, eyes terribly hot. The grandson held it in his arms, and he couldn't even cry when he was hungry. If he could take a few mouthfuls of milk powder, the child would feel comfortable.

"Nan Nan, you boy, why don't you keep such a good thing for yourself, and give it back to us, my aunt is embarrassed to take it. But the tiger head is really hungry, and we don’t have anything good for you. Yes, but if you are useful to us, just tell us. Auntie remembers your good."

This is tacit acquiescence to all the demands made by Xu Nannan later.

What Xu Nannan wanted was her words. Regardless of whether Xu Gensheng was still in trouble, he handed the milk to Xu Gensheng, "Uncle Gensheng, give Hutou something to eat first. Seeing that he is hungry, he has no energy."

Looking at his grandson, Xu Gensheng felt distressed. He sighed and took the powdered milk. He wondered, "What's the matter with this thing? Isn't it careful?"

Xu Nannan smiled and said, "I think it's better for me to do it. Uncle Gensheng, look at it, and follow it later."

Xu Gensheng still has a thermos at home, and the water in it is still hot. Xu Nannan got warm water and two spoons of milk powder. "I didn't get a baby bottle this time. Next time I have a chance, I will get a baby bottle for the child. That's a good thing, and Hutou will definitely like it."

"Uncle Gensheng, don't make too much milk powder. Two spoons are enough. Use warm water to rinse, otherwise it will be nutritious."

Xu Nannan carefully told Xu Gensheng about the things he would pay attention to.

Liu Dahong watched from the side, and asked sweetly, feeling a bit like milk, and was convinced in her heart that this milk powder must be a good thing.

After the milk powder was ready, Liu Dahong hurriedly fed the baby with a spoon.

When the spoon reached the child's mouth, the child gulped. That little mouth chirps, I don’t know how sweet it is to eat.

Looking at Liu Dahong and Xu Gensheng, the big rock in their hearts finally fell.

After the child was full and slept soundly, Liu Dahong was even more grateful. "Nan Nan, you kid, I don't know what to say."

Xu Nannan's eyes reddened, "Auntie, don't say that. I just can't see Tiger Head hungry. Xiaoman and I grew up hungry when we were young. Knowing the suffering, I don't want Tiger Head to be like us."

Liu Dahong also wiped tears. "You and Xiaoman are both dying children." They have a good life, but no luck. Good fate has become hard fate.

"Auntie, I can't do anything about it. I fell on the ground a while ago, and since I woke up, I have been scared, worried that if I leave someday, Xiaoman will take care of it. I just thought, if I can't get to the ground, I'll be afraid. Okay. But my milk definitely disagrees. She won't let me eat plain rice. I just thought, if I can get a suitable job, I can afford it, and I'm willing to do it."

Xu Nannan was full of affection and tears.

Xu Gensheng and Liu Dahong also heard Xu Nannan's thoughts, but they didn't think Xu Nannan was too eager, only that the child was pitiful.

"Nannan, don't cry, I and your uncle Gensheng will take a good look. If there is a suitable job, let you do it. You are young and you shouldn't have gone to the ground."

Xu Nannan pursed his mouth and nodded with red eyes, "My uncle, I won't bother you to sleep, I'll go back first."

She wiped her tears and looked at Xiaohutou again before leaving Xu Gensheng's house.

Xu Gensheng sighed as soon as Xu Nannan left, his face also frowning. "What do you do with this matter?" He is an honest person, and because of the kindness of others, everyone chose him as the captain. He always feels a little awkward now to let him collect and do things for others.

Liu Dahong slapped him on the forehead, "You are an old thing, nothing is too difficult to handle. Nan Nan is still a child, and everyone in the village knows that she suffers. You, the captain, and an elder again, can't help me a little bit. Even if you don’t have this milk powder today, you have to help. What's more, she saved your grandson with this milk powder. If you don’t help anymore, be careful of being pricked in your spine."

Liu Dahong was full of vigor, and Xu Gensheng was speechless by her.

"There is a lack of mowing on the farm, so let the kid Nannan go."

"Isn't the old man over there? Let Nan Nan get in touch with him? Don't damage Nan Nan." Liu Dahong disagreed a little. There is a bad guy in the farm.

"He picks big dung, and Nan Nan is not together, so what is he worried about. The work is a little lighter in the village."

"That's all right, let's do it for now." Liu Dahong still felt that a job of mowing pig grass is really inferior to a precious thing like milk powder. And Nan Nan also said to get them bottles.

If you have a good chance in the future, you still have to look at Nan Nan.

The next day, Xu Xiaoman was also called by Xu Nannan to drink a bowl of milk, "Don't ask anything, and don't say anything, otherwise the milk will kill us."

When Xu Xiaoman heard this, he closed his mouth and nodded fiercely.

Anyway, what the sister said is correct. She guessed in her mind that it might have been secretly left behind by dad yesterday. So I can't talk to milk. Otherwise, the milk will make trouble, and the good things must be taken away.

Xu Nannan didn't know Xu Xiaoman's thoughts, and smiled and touched her head, "Hey, let's drink a bowl every morning from now on, you will become smarter and you will be able to recognize more words."

Xu Nannan also drank a bowl himself, feeling sweet in his mouth and sighing happily. Who could have imagined that one day even a sip of milk powder would have a sense of happiness.

Before starting work the next day, Xu Gensheng called Xu Nannan away, saying that he had arranged another job.

When Zhang Cuiqin heard this, he was displeased, "Why are you doing other arrangements? Isn't this a good job?"

Xu Gensheng gave her a stern look, "There are arrangements in the organization, what do you think? Nan Nan is young and can’t do much work in the field. Let her do other work, which is more in line with our thoughts on large-scale production. If you have any opinions, just agree with me. The organization reacts."

Zhang Jianhai pinched her fiercely, "work." This silly woman, Er Ya does not do the same thing, anyway, she is not idle, she still earns the same work points, you woman cares so much.

Zhang Cuiqin was aggrieved and lowered his head to work. He couldn't figure out why Xu Gensheng wanted to change Erya's job.
