In the book, the female supporting role dreams of being an idle fish

Chapter 220 The Day of Paying Public Grain

"We're neighbors. Do you have to be so extreme?"

"Yes, I don't take advantage of others, and others can't take advantage of me. If I encounter such a situation and you are not at home, I will immediately bang pots and pans to alarm people. I will hire someone for 5 dollars to take the child to the hospital."

"Instead of being reluctant to spend money and not going to the hospital, the child might recover by chance. Or they might die overnight. Why didn't I let Huaixi and Huaibei go to the hospital when they were sick last time?"

"Because I understand. It's not a big deal. I can handle it. If I can't, I won't delay even a minute. Money is just a thing outside of oneself. He's their biological son, their grandson. They don't value him. Why should I, an outsider, value him? What have I become? A sucker?"

"How expensive can a pill be?"

"Do you think the things in the space are free? That's a small yellow croaker. That's not a medicine, it's a life-saving thing. Think about it, I don't just take in, but give back to your family."

"I really want to replace the glass in my house, but I'm the only one who enjoys it. I asked for the house to be renovated, but do I live alone? Can I live in all four rooms by myself?"

"Who uses the bathroom shower room outside more? Don't you know how many new clothes you have? Don't you know how many new clothes I made for Jiang Xiu and Jiang Huainan, the four of them?"

"Don't you know what you ate? You forget about it after you poop. The original relationship between you and me didn't exist. You took advantage of me and I took advantage of you. Are you saying this now to make it clear and distinct?"

"Also, think carefully. Does your Jiang family have any medicine? You haven't brought my thermometer back to me yet. This thermometer is 24 yuan, so you can decide for yourself."

"How many?"

"24. Don't worry, you heard me right. This thing can be lent, but not given away. You can use it on your own. There are two spaces in total, take them both out. Use one less."

"I'll go get it after dinner." Jiang Wen knew that this thing was expensive because Jiang's wife had died while giving birth and Huaixi had no milk to drink.

Always sick and having fever.

When I went to the hospital, the doctor took my temperature.

Not as good as Gu Lixia's.

Without waiting for Jiang Wen to ask for it.

Aunt Hu took it and said ramblingly, "I heard that I took it from your house. Although I didn't use it, it's still thanks to your kindness."

"I know this thing is expensive. It's hard for you to be willing to give it to us. I don't dare to use it even if you are willing to give it to me. I'm afraid it will break."

"Our Dandan's name has been changed. It's because we didn't choose a good name that his health is so poor. From now on, he will be called Zhuangzhuang."

Gu Lixia left with the thermos in her hand.

Jiang Xiu also noticed it.

The two people had a quarrel.

The problem is that Jiang Xiu doesn't know how to stop the fight.

I can't pretend not to notice.

It's useless to be anxious.

Jiang Wen was also angry.

Naturally I won't rush to do that.

Gu Lixia went to the cafeteria to get water and cleaned the office.

Soak brown sugar and red dates in water and drink.

Aunt Shen smelled it and said, "Wasn't your birthday on the 16th last month? This is early. It doesn't look like it."

"No one says you can't drink it on a regular basis. Well, I just want to replenish myself in advance. Otherwise, it will be annoying when it comes."

After get off work at noon, Jiang Wen asked Gu Lixia to cook. Gu Lixia knew that it was the day for Jiangjia Village to pay public grain.

When the two people came to the intersection, they saw a long line.

Jiang Wen went over there.

Go and see how many people have come.

Arrange to take turns to go to Jiang's house for dinner.

……

When Gu Lixia returned home, Jiang Xiu had already prepared a full pot of臊子.

Tomato and eggplant sauce with potatoes.

Jiang Xiu is kneading the dough.

Jiang Huainan is rolling noodles.

Gu Lixia washed her hands and replaced Jiang Huainan.

After rolling, cut into strips.

5 people eat first.

I'm eating.

Jiang Wen came back with 40 people.

This group of people got up at 5 o'clock in the morning, had their meal, pushed carts, and carried loads on their shoulders.

Walk towards the city, one step deep and one step shallow.

It takes more than an hour to ride a bicycle. These people are carrying heavy loads and it was almost 9 o'clock when they arrived.

There are already two villages lined up ahead.

Now two streets are blocked.

It is estimated that it will be their turn at 4 pm.

……

Jiang Xiu wanted to put down the bowl, but Jiang Wen said no, washed his hands, and went to cook noodles.

They are all rolled corn noodles.

Soon, Gu Lixia and the others finished eating.

Gu Lixia went to wash the dishes herself, mainly because there were not enough bowls. She had to borrow bowls and wait. There were 20 bowls in the Jiang family's house.

Send Huainan and Huaibei to Aunt Cui's house to borrow bowls.

Soon, two people came over with Aunt Cui. Aunt Cui held 20 babies, Huainan held 6 babies, and Huaibei held 4 babies.

Aunt Cui came in, put it down and left.

Gu Lixia used a colander to scoop out the noodles and scooped out the臊子 herself.

Afterwards, a group of people went to Jiang's father's house.

I felt embarrassed to sit on the kang looking at the plastic sheet.

Huainan was sensible and said, "Please sit down wherever you like. We haven't cleaned the house for several days. No one is living in this room right now, but we have someone staying here tonight anyway, so you guys can sit down. You can go up and lie down and rest for a while."

Huaibei and Huaixi followed their brother.

Even if Huainan said so.

Still no one came to sit down.

It's just that someone sat on those two chairs.

Everyone was hungry. Over the past twenty years, every time they paid their public grain tax, they would come to the Jiang family to eat. They had become accustomed to it.

Except for the first time when I moved into my new home, I have never felt this way before.

The Jiang family renovated their house and yard, which was very different from the houses in the village.

Even more so now.

The houses in the village only occupy one area.

The Jiang family's yard is clean and bright.

The glass is brand new.

After eating, people had to change positions. This group of 37 people left after eating.

Gu Lixia had no idea how many people came and went in the whole afternoon.

There are about 200 of them.

When the second wave of people came, they brought four bags of cornmeal.

This is their ration for the next two days.

When Gu Lixia and Jiang Wen took Huaixi to work, the stove at home was still cooking noodles.

I have already made 2 more pots of臊子.

Jiang Xiu has asked for leave this afternoon and tomorrow morning and afternoon.

Huainan and Huaibei are also in great turmoil, and we need to ask for leave.

Jiang Wen doesn't allow it.

It was agreed that I would take them to check on the grain delivery tomorrow at noon.

The two of them agreed and sent their two children to school.

Jiang Wen and Gu Lixia took Huaixi to work.

The child didn't sleep at noon, went to the office in the afternoon, and fell asleep on the table.

When they come back from get off work, these people have already eaten.

They slept outside the police station at night.

It's safe, one person sleeps near a cart.

Half of the grain collected today from Jiangjia Village was delivered in the afternoon.

The grain store is classified as grade four grain.
