Chapter 133 Trading 1
"As far as I know, due to the construction of the Seven Star Commune, there is a lack of labor, and some of the grain has not been collected, and the winter wheat has not been sown in time, and now there is a shortage of grain.
You have to find a way to prepare more food. With so many people in your family, what you have not eaten will become a big problem. "Aunt Li said.
Father Li heard this and knew that it really happened.
"Eldest sister, you should also prepare more food. If your parents have me, don't worry!"
"Mom's temper has become more and more strange over the years, so don't know her in the same way." Aunt Li advised Father Li.
If you don’t know that others are suffering, don’t persuade others to be kind.
Father Li didn't want to tell her about these things, so he got up and left Aunt Li's house. He wanted to take Xiao Yu'er to the principal to ask for a long leave.
Ren's family, Mr. Ren said to Aunt Li disapprovingly, "You shouldn't tell the fourth child about his mother, how did he live these years? Don't you see? People have to rely on their conscience!"
After Mr. Ren said this, he went to the office to prepare for the registration of students. He went to the office to find the principal, and the fourth child brought the child to the school in person, and he must have taken a long vacation. He had to go out to help and make peace, lest the principal disagree.
In the office, Li's father was talking to the principal about Li Xiaoyu's request for leave. The principal did not agree with her asking for leave for too long, and said to Li's father, "Students should stay in school, and reading is what she should do."
Teacher Ren came in and said to the principal: "Principal, this student, I know her very well. She only needs to come to take the school's exam. I will guarantee her affairs. If her grades drop, let her go to school. class."
Li Xiaoyu didn't expect Teacher Ren to protect her so much. It seems that she will have to do better in the next test.
After solving Li Xiaoyu's matter, the father and daughter should return to the Bamboo Forest.
Li Xiaoyu wanted to find her second brother, but Li Chengji was waiting outside the office.
"Second brother, I was going to find you."
"I know you're going back, and I'm here to wait for you."
"Second brother, you and the third brother must have enough to eat. I will bring you food in two weeks. Don't worry at home, I am here!"
Hearing this, Li Chengji only felt that the little sister was taking too much and was really afraid of bending her waist. He secretly made a decision in his heart: he must work harder and do his best to protect his little sister better.
"Little girl, I'll go with you when you trade in three days, and you'll come to me when that time comes." Li Chengji was afraid that she would go on an adventure alone. Although she knew someone, her heart was separated. Who knew? Be careful with everything.
"I see, I won't go alone, then the old man and I will go back." After Li Xiaoyu and the second brother finished talking, they walked back to the Bamboo Forest with Li's father.
In a place where no one was on the road, Li Xiaoyu took out a 50-pound bag of cornmeal and a 10-pound bag of rice from the space, and wanted to take out other things, but was stopped by Li's father.
"You can't take too much, it's not good to be too conspicuous, just enough to eat at home for a while."
"Old man, let's prepare some red leeks for the family. The ones that don't have holes and can fill the stomach and have a lot of heads, so mom won't be in a hurry. I have a lot of them, and they were picked up when the team was digging."
"Did you go out to pick it up at night?"
Li Xiaoyu was very surprised that the old man knew everything: "Old man, how did you know?"
"Do you still need to guess? You can't pick it up during the day, you can only pick it up at night, aren't you afraid at night? Don't go there in the future, how dangerous it is to be alone! What's the matter for the old man to go with you? ."
"Don't worry! Old man, I can do it. You and mom are so busy every day, I can do these things."
"You must be careful, nothing is as important as your own safety!"
The father and daughter returned home, only Grandma Li was holding the soles of her shoes under the eaves of everyone. The two put all the food in the barn while no one was at home. Li Xiaoyu took this opportunity to release about 100 catties of red glutinous rice in the barn.
Now the food at home is to take a day's amount from the barn every day. I dare not take out more, for fear of not being able to keep it.
"Little Yu'er, if you have nothing to do, just read your books at home, or clean up the sanitation at home, and don't go in the fields."
Father Li went to the field after speaking. It was still early today, so he could go to work, and he could still earn some work points. I went to the captain to ask for work, and the captain arranged for Father Li to pick fat, which was calculated according to the day's work points.
Father Li went to pick up fat with the strong laborers in the team, and he was deeply affected by his sensitive nose. The strong stench penetrated his nose, making him miserable. After work, he was covered in stench.
After returning home, he didn't dare to enter the house, so he asked Li's mother to fetch him clothes and hot water, and rushed twice in the bathroom before he dared to enter the house.
Father Li thought that he had to go in the afternoon, which was too torturous.
The bell rang. In order to get the full work points for today, Li’s father had to put on smelly clothes again, and put on a simple double-layer mask made by Li’s mother with coarse cloth, which could at least block part of the bad smell.
Grandpa Li also went to work today, pulling the weeds in the field, and earning two work points, he can still do it. When he went there, he specially brought a small stool. He could sit on the stool and pull weeds. Some of the old guys who often played in the same area also took the stools to pull weeds in the field. When a few old men are together, they can pull weeds while bragging.
Li Xiaoyu said to Father Li in the evening, "Old man, I'm going to town tomorrow. I'll go to the second brother with me at the trading time I made an appointment with."
"Then you pay attention to safety, be smart, and run away as soon as something goes wrong. Or I'll go with you!"
"No need, old man, I have experience!" Li Xiaoyu covered her mouth: It's over, I missed it!
As soon as Father Li heard that his younger daughter had experience, he knew that she must have encountered it before, and he was so angry and scared! At this moment, he really didn't want his little daughter to take risks again.
"Old man, don't worry about it! I run fast, others can't catch up, don't worry!" Li Xiaoyu hurriedly comforted the old man, it would be miserable if she was grounded again.
"Are you sure you can?"
"It's definitely possible. I don't usually practice in vain. Don't worry, I'll be fine. I'll go directly to the health center to find you."
Under Li Xiaoyu's repeated assurances, Li's father agreed to her going to the town.
At three o'clock in the morning the next day, Li Xiaoyu got up and was ready to go to town. As soon as he opened the door, he heard Father Li's voice.
"Little Yu'er, I'll take you on a journey."
"Old man, I can run fast by myself, so don't give it away."
"Let's go, I'll take you out of the village." Father Li left with a flashlight in front of him.
Li Xiaoyu had to follow in the footsteps of the old man and sent him out of the village. Father Li stopped there: "Let's go, I'll watch you go!"
