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

Chapter 274 Asking for help

My grandmother remarried with my mother, but not long after my mother got married, my grandmother committed suicide.

For children, the only relatives in the world are brothers and sisters.

I don’t know how my sister has been doing in that home during these years since I left.

My younger sister Yingzi is almost 14 years old this year. Her birthday is on the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, which is still half a year away.

I have sent back all my allowances from the past few years, so I should be able to live a decent life.

I got on the train and fell asleep.

.........

Gu Lixia and the others had no idea that someone was rushing over here. At noon, the chicken stewed with mushrooms smelled so good that no one said anything.

In the evening, they continued to eat the leftover chicken stewed with mushrooms from lunch. After dinner, Gu Lixia cut watermelon and gave each person a bowl.

Huainan brought a bowl to Aunt Cui's house.

Gu Lixia also took a bowl and lay on the lounge chair in the yard, eating a piece from time to time.

Jiang Xiu looked at Gu Lixia from the side and said, "Second sister-in-law, I am the only one left in our class who hasn't come yet."

"Do you want it to come?" Gu Lixia asked directly.

"I don't want to." Jiang Xiu said this and thought so.

Gu Lixia could tell that the girl was very resistant. "Little girl, it's not up to you. Go look in the mirror and think about your previous image. If you had always been like that, you might not have your period until you were 17 or 18. The problem is that it's been cold since last year, and you haven't eaten meat for a day. Gradually, your body will get better, your nutrition will keep up, and your period will come naturally."

"Also, let me guess, you might be experiencing occasional chest pain right now. It'll be over soon. Don't worry. If you don't want to go to school, just ask for leave. It's normal. I've taught you everything I need to teach you. What are you afraid of? Only people with no manners will attack others."

Jiang Wen came over to collect the bowls, and Jiang Xiu stopped talking.

The days passed one by one.

Gu Lixia's office colleagues have no objection to him eating melon seeds every day. Of course, if they have an objection, it's okay, you can eat them too.

The watermelon was finished quickly, only 2 pieces.

Melon has become the new favorite of children.

Gu Lixia made garlic peanuts for the children.

Wash the peeled peanuts and soak them in clean water for about 20 minutes to allow them to fully absorb water and expand.

Then use a clean towel to wipe the moisture off the surface of the peanuts.

Chop the garlic into fine pieces, add appropriate amount of salt and five-spice powder, and mix thoroughly with the peanuts so that each peanut is coated with minced garlic and seasoning.

Heat the pan with cold oil, first add the minced garlic and stir-fry until fragrant, then add the peanuts and stir-fry evenly.

Then add salt and continue to stir-fry until the surface color of the peanuts becomes darker. Remove from the pan and pour out the peanuts.

Jiang Wen enjoyed the food and planned to send 5 kilograms to Xu Jiang on Sunday.

Let the kids peel it and continue to eat chicken and mushroom stew on Sunday.

The children were very enthusiastic.

Sunday came in a blink of an eye. When I woke up in the morning, I ate rice noodles in the space and came out. Jiang Wen carried water, Gu Lixia filled the hot water bottle with water, and the kitchen master went out.

Come back to water the fields.

We went out on bikes. This time, time was tight, so the two of us went outside the city, into the woods, into the space, and planted melon seeds and peanuts, and also planted potatoes in pieces.

Came back at 8:30 with a bag of melons, a bag of watermelons, and 2 chickens.

I came back into the house and took out 37 melons.

8 watermelons.

The children were watching, and Gu Lixia didn't cheat.

Jiang Xiu knows how to make chicken stewed with mushrooms, so there’s no need to rush.

Jiang Wenxian rode his bike to visit Xu Jiang with peanuts. Of course, there were not only peanuts in it, but also 2 bags of tea, 2 watermelons, and 10 melons, which were guaranteed to satisfy Xu Jiang.

Xu Jiang made a few polite remarks and expressed his satisfaction.

The young man also has a heart.

He patted Jiang Wen's arm and handed him a bottle of Sichuan Daqu wine.

Jiang Wen couldn't refuse, so he took it home.

Jiang Huainan watched Second Uncle and Uncle Xu exchange pleasantries in silence. Even though his eyes were fixed on Xigua, he continued to exchange pleasantries. On the way back, he asked, "Second Uncle, we've received the wine, do we still have to give it away?"

Jiang Wen explained while pedaling his bicycle, "Not bad, his brain works quite quickly. This is a rare commodity. He has coal in his hands, and he might even increase it in the future. So we can't offend him, we have to hold on to it."

"But this guy is clear-headed. There's no need to hold a grudge against him. He'll do the work for us even if he takes the money. It's a matter of mutual consent. And what can you do about those who take the money and don't do the work? Besides, we're the ones asking them to do the work, not us for the money."

"After we've eaten all the fruit in our yard, we have to send it to others every few days. Just like the 300 yuan coal we bought last year. If we don't, we'll have to spend a penny more. Logically speaking, even if we ask them for it, we still have to spend some money."

"One is the relationship of being your father's classmate. The other is these things that maintain the relationship. This is different from the relationship between us. One is a relationship of interest. The other is a family relationship."

"Okay, I understand." Huainan replied.

After returning home, Jiang Wen went back to the house to change clothes, and then went to the Gu family's old courtyard.

Gu Lixia gave a gift of 5 yuan.

The same process of Gu Lichun marrying a wife was repeated, and the bride's face was smeared like a monkey's butt.

This time Jiang Wen didn't dare to mention eating.

After the ceremony was completed and relatives and friends had finished their meal, Gu Lixia also met Gu Liqiu's godfather and godmother, reluctantly.

The old courtyard is surrounded by a wall, with a new gate and four cave dwellings, providing a lot of space.

After washing the pots and pans, Gu Liqiu and the others went to return them, and Gu Lixia asked to go back.

After Gu Liqiu expressed his gratitude, Gu Lixia and Jiang Wen returned and ate the chicken stewed with mushrooms made by Huainan. Gu Lixia said directly that Huainan had to make this dish in the future because it was delicious.

Huainan smiled shyly.

The couple went into the house for a nap.

In the afternoon, Jiang Wen continued to go to the tractor factory. Nothing broke down today, so Jiang Wen took a look around and brought Uncle Liu back.

The first thing to do is cut watermelon to entertain the guests.

Gu Lixia was on the platform at the back. She didn't go back even after the system reminded her. She just called out Huainan and went back to inform her second uncle to make vermicelli.

Huainan went back and said something to his second uncle before coming out to continue playing.

In the evening, I had the chicken stewed with mushrooms and vermicelli that I had at noon.

Ate watermelon.

Uncle Liu is gone.

The Jiang family also tidied up and went to bed.

Monday comes and I continue to work like a slave.

On Tuesday morning, a misunderstanding occurred.

A foul-smelling man, carrying three large packages and a small package on his back, and a wild man with one arm slung over his shoulder, stopped Huaibei and his friends who were returning home from school in the morning and playing outside, and asked who from the Jiang family was at home and how many people were in the family.

Huaibei heard it, saw that the man was dressed in rags, and asked about the Jiang family. He didn't know whether it was his own family or the Jiang family behind him. He quickly pulled his brother away, closed the door, and climbed onto the gate. "There are human traffickers stealing children. Help quickly, there are human traffickers stealing children..."

Huaibei shouted loudly, and soon many adults came out.

They surrounded Lu Yi, some holding shovels, rolling pins, iron spoons, and sticks.
