Chapter 8: Grow up softly

On the square table in the kitchen, there are two bowls of porridge made with

rice and corn ballast, a bowl of fried potato shreds, freshly steamed noodle

buns, and two hard-boiled eggs.

The steamed buns of Erhe Noodles are steamed buns with white noodles and

ginseng sweet potato noodles, or steamed buns with white noodles and corn

noodles.

Eating rice and white noodles alone can't afford to eat, Chen Apo will add

some rice and white noodles to the whole grains, which can not only enrich the

taste but also ensure the nutrition.

Fortunately, when the spring started, the commune canteen was disbanded.

Otherwise, even if Chen Apo could buy grain, she would not be able to open

fire to Su Ruan Ruan.

The grandfather and grandson sat down to eat, and Su Ruanruan thought while

eating, how could he take out the things in the space for Granny Chen to eat.

Unexpectedly, Wang Aijuan came here first.

Both Su Ruanruan and Wang Aijuan have just graduated from junior high school

and haven't stayed at home for a few days.

The Wang’s wife is different from Chen’s granddaughter. Wang Aijuan never sees

her granddaughter. Although Wang Aijuan has not been at home for a few days,

she has already disliked it, and urges Wang Aijuan to go down to work and earn

work points.

They belonged to the third production team of Hongqi Commune. Girls who did

not go to junior high school on the team, and girls as old as Wang Aijuan, can

now get eight work points.

Even if there are those that cannot be done, you can get six work points a

day.

After working hard for a few months, when the autumn harvest is time to

distribute the grain, a lot of grain will be distributed.

How could Wang Aijuan be willing to spend the whole day idle at home because

she was greedy for this share of food.

Had it not been for Wang Aijuan's promise to her, she would definitely be able

to go to the county textile factory as a temporary worker, she would have been

pulling Wang Aijuan's ears to work.

In order not to make the country mud legs facing the loess and back to the

sky, Wang Aijuan had to come to Su Ruanruan early in the morning.

Listening to Wang Aijuan's shouts outside, Su Ruanruan was still eating

breakfast, not at all as if he heard Wang Aijuan's shouts in the past, as if

his buttocks were nailed.

Seeing her doing this, Chen Apo also smiled.

"We have grown up softly."

Su Ruanruan blushed upon hearing this, "Milk!"

Is this saying that she was so small and stupid before that she was deceived

by Wang Aijuan?

"Well, grandma won't say anything." Granny Chen narrowed her eyes, "Since

Ruanruan has grown up, grandma won't have to worry about it in the future. The

man outside—"

"You don't have to worry about milk, I'll solve it myself in a while."

Su Ruan Ruan said firmly, his face was full of confidence, and Aunt Chen

didn't say much when seeing this.

When the child is older, she always has to fly by herself, she just needs to

watch from the sidelines.

Granny Chen is still young and needs work, but her job is light and easy,

shedding sheep for the production brigade.

The third production brigade raised a total of three sheep. There was no way,

and if they were too many, they couldn't raise them. In these years, some

people have to dig grass roots to eat bark, where there is grass to feed the

sheep.

That is, Granny Chen received a pension and had food stamps every month, so

that Su Aimin's comrades-in-arms in the county could buy food.

Otherwise, the six work points earned by herding sheep alone would starve the

two grandparents to death.

After the meal, Su Ruanruan and Granny Chen cleaned up the dishes, chopsticks,

tables and chairs together, and then they walked to the gate together.

Wang Aijuan, who had been shouting outside for a long time, was about to smoke

in her throat.

Seeing the door finally opened, Wang Aijuan opened her mouth and cursed, "Su

Ruanruan, you die—"

Before she finished her curse, Wang Aijuan saw Granny Chen with a gloomy face,

she didn't dare to continue speaking the rest of her words, she made her

yellow face flushed in a daze.

"Chen...Grandma Chen."
