Chapter 53: Chapter 53: The Youngest Son, The Old Lady’s Darling Chapter 53: Chapter 53: The Youngest Son, The Old Lady’s Darling Five children?
Wang Laowu is the youngest in the family.
The little son, the apple of the old lady’s eye.
No wonder this Liu Cuihua ca to make a scene.
“If Laosan were ho, they wouldn’t dare to create a fuss,”
That statent was true.
“Mom, did Da Bao’s father ever say when he would be back?”
That question stumped Mrs. Zhao.
How would she know?
She quickly changed the subject, “Now, every household in the production brigade is no longer restricted from raising chickens.”
“Mom, I heard that in so places they have already implented the household responsibility system. I wonder when our production brigade will implent it?”
What’s the household responsibility system?
What’s the family contracting system?
Why are there things that she doesn’t understand?
“It ans that the fields are divided among the mbers, letting them farm it themselves, they buy their own fertilizer, their own seeds, and they deliver their own public grain. This way, it prevents so mbers from being lazy or stealing collective property.”
Hadn’t the wife not been out?
How did she know all this?
“I saw it in the newspaper. So production brigades have already tried it. After dividing the land among mbers, not only did the yield not decrease, it even increased. People take more care of their own fields,”
This had even piqued Mrs. Zhao’s interest.
“I haven’t heard your father ntion it.”
“Next ti Dad goes to town, he could look for the newspaper,” Yun Xiaoxiao knew she didn’t believe her.
As soone born in the post-’90s, her parents hadn’t gone to the countryside as Educated Youths, but she vaguely rembered her grandparents ntioning their era in the sixties and seventies.
The two younger ones quickly finished a plate of fruit.
Da Bao and Xiao Bao had also gotten up at this point.
Seeing Sanya and Xiao Mao at their ho, they imdiately started playing with them.
“I’ve got so canned fruit, Da Bao, go to the kitchen and get a big bowl and so chopsticks,”
Canned fruit?
The younger ones’ eyes all lit up at once.
Mrs. Zhao was surprised by Yun Xiaoxiao – was she going to eat up all the things sent by the mother-in-law in one go?
One went to get the bowl and chopsticks, the other went to the room to get the canned food.
The purchased assorted canned food, from Happy Ho brand, a mix of fruits.
Contain lychee, yellow peach, and orange, all in a large bottle.
The children obediently sat down at the dining table.
Yun Xiaoxiao turned the can upside down and gently tapped it a few tis, then squeezed the middle with both hands and in an instant, she heard a crisp sound and easily twisted it open, pouring all the fruit inside into the big bowl.
“Mom, co and eat too, this type of canned food is rarely seen around our area, and it sells the best,”
Because Xiao Mao was short, he simply knelt on the bench, staring at the big bowl of canned fruit, and swallowed.
The lychee is white.
The orange and the yellow peach are yellow, and the colors look quite nice together.
“You eat too.”
This large bottle is 900 grams, nearly two pounds, but for four children and two adults, it’s still not a lot.
Even the syrup from the canned fruit was gleefully drunk up by the children.
“The things your parents sent by mail should be consud slowly and saved.”
Yun Xiaoxiao acknowledged.
She planned on buying more things to bring out.
After eating the canned fruit, Mrs. Zhao left with Sanya and Xiao Mao. If they stayed any longer, who knew what else Laosan’s wife would bring out to eat.
The food sent by the mother-in-law would be all eaten up in just a couple of days at this rate.
“Do you want to go out and find so friends to play with for a while?” Yun Xiaoxiao asked her two sons, as it was still early before dark. She couldn’t confine them to the house all the ti, could she?
“Mom, I won’t go, I will stay at ho and keep you company,”
