Xu Jiansheng actually came to see the two children alone, something that didn’t happen before. In the past, the whole family had a meal together, and then the couple left with the children.

So over the years, the two sisters Xu Nannan and Xu Jiansheng had no communication at all. This is also the reason why the two children have weak feelings towards Xu Jiansheng and his wife.

Xu Nannan got up and opened the door, and she saw Xu Jiansheng standing outside.

“Dad.”

Xu Nannan unwillingly said.

Seeing that she didn’t want to see himself very much, Xu Jiansheng frowned, and walked inside with his hands behind his back. Xu Jiansheng was a cadre at the size of his unit, and he had a bit of official power on him. When Xu Xiaoman saw him coming in, she couldn’t wait to shrink her head into her clothes.

“How is Xiaoman’s body?” Xu Jiansheng has been in the city for a long time. He never called her daughter’s nickname at home, and found it too tacky.

Xu Xiaoman looked at Xu Nannan with a pale face.

Xu Nannan walked over and hugged Xu Xiaoman, “She has been lying in bed for more than half a month, and now she has no energy in her body. She eats too little every day, and she won’t be allowed to go to the health clinic by grandma.”

Xu Jiansheng heard the complaint in her words and sighed, “It’s not easy for your grandma. Now the years are not good, and the family is not rich.”

Hearing this, Xu Nannan was not happy, “It’s not that easy, but there are still four children going to school.”

“Nannan! Are you complaining about us?” Xu Jiansheng’s brows became tighter. He owes her a debt, but he doesn’t want the child to be resentful at such a young age. Such a child will have a bad temper in the future.

Xu Nannan snorted coldly, “I have no right to resent you.” She is not the original owner, and has no right to resent, at best she can’t bear it.

Xu Jiansheng looked at her for a long time and sighed, “Your mother and I can’t afford to feed you anymore. In the city, what you eat is food, and if you don’t have enough food, you will have to go hungry. Although life in the country is hard, you can still eat a bite of rice? Dad left to join the army that year. He didn’t help the family much and didn’t support your grandma. Now that he has done a good job, he can only provide to them as much as possible. You will be able to do this when you grow up. You will understand it.”

Xu Jiansheng found it difficult for him. It is not easy to be a soldier. After so many years, he has not been able to stay in the army, so he can only return to his hometown. He returned to his hometown and became a section chief in the mine, but he had to raise a few more children. Usually, he and his wife Li Jing also had a hard time. In order to repay his parents and brothers, he felt that these things were worthwhile.

It is better to owe your children than to the elderly. Owing your children grants you a chance to pay them back, but how many years are there for the elderly?

He was embarrassed, but Xu Nannan couldn’t hear a word. Even if she was a woman, she knew that even if she starved to death, she would never let her child suffer. Not to mention, like Xu Jiansheng, in order to raise nephews and nieces, instead of his own daughters.

Xu Nannan didn’t care much about him, but she had to rely on Xu Jiansheng for what Aunt Song Guihua said.

So after Xu Jiansheng finished speaking, she said, “I don’t want to go to work, I want to change jobs.”

Xu Jiansheng did not expect that the girl suddenly changed the subject. But… “Did you tell your grandma about this?”

Xu Nannan tilted her mouth, “My grandma is going to let me be a child bride. I still dare to tell her about this?”

“Sister, don’t be a child bride!!” Xu Xiaoman was shocked when she heard. She used to hear that many child bride in the old society were tortured to death by her husband’s family. Grandma said that if she is not good, she will be sent to be a child bride.

Xu Nannan felt her fear and guessed the reason, and touched her head, “It’s okay, sister won’t.”

Xu Jiansheng said embarrassedly, “Your grandma said that in angry remark, she only said it to scare you.”

“Who knows,” Xu Nannan smiled sarcastically, “I’m telling you this. I will go to Uncle Gensheng’s house and say something good, and I will always send something over. I don’t have anything in my hand. If you still feel sorry for me and Xiaoman as your daughters, please help me this time.”

After saying this, Xu Nannan stopped talking, and just waited for Xu Jiansheng to make a decision.

Xu Jiansheng was silent for a long time before saying, “I’ll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy something and come back. You can send it to Gensheng’s house.”

Hearing Xu Jiansheng’s words, Xu Nannan felt relieved. No matter what, I finally don’t have to pay for it myself. If Xu Jiansheng can take things out, she can save a little money and avoid being discovered that something is wrong in the future.

The father and daughter seemed to have nothing to say. Xu Jiansheng sat in the room for a while before going out.

As soon as Xu Jiansheng went out, he was called into the hall by the old lady.

“Did that girl just ask you to buy something for her to take to Gensheng’s home?” The old lady said straight to the point.

Xu Jiansheng was stunned, apparently he didn’t expect how this matter would be known to the old lady.

“Mom, Nan Nan is still young, so she can’t work in the fields…”

“It’s okay? When I covered the Red Army, it was her age, but she couldn’t do some work? Jiansheng, you can’t be too partial. Is it easy for you to make money? You have to raise a few children. Now for a girl to buy things and give gifts, how much money could we give? With this money, it is better to make two sets of clothes for Leizi and Longlong. Rural children go to the city to study and they look down on it. You have to let them look decent outside to give us a face.”

Xu Jiansheng had heard this many times, and he did so accordingly. No matter how tight he and Li Jing are, the lives of a few children are no worse than those of other people in the city. But this time, he felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this. I remembered Nannan and Xiaoman who he had just seen in the house.

The two children were yellowish and thin, dressed in tattered clothes, but he hadn’t noticed it before.

Feeling guilty in his heart, Xu Jiansheng did not agree to the old lady’s words, “Mom, it doesn’t take much, just this time, let Nannan change to a lighter job.”

“Okay, you don’t have your mother in your heart, you’re just for your daughter, isn’t it? Xu Jiansheng, you unscrupulous white-eyed wolf, you left that year, if it wasn’t for your two brothers, me and your dad still doesn’t know what life we could’ve had right now. Now that you have the blessing, you don’t put your family in your eyes, right? Why did I give birth to you, you unfilial son!”

The old lady banged on the table while talking.

Zhang Cuiqin eavesdropped on this outside the door, and finally smiled after hearing this.

She just saw Xu Jiansheng running into Erya’s house, worried that what Erya said would make Xu Jiansheng change his mind and take them to the city, so she eavesdropped outside the door. Unexpectedly, she heard Erya really asked Xu Jiansheng to buy things and give her gifts, and wanted to change jobs. She was surprised that after this girl was dizzy once, her mind became alive. She knew all these things, and worried that Xu Jiansheng really agreed to help her buy things. After all, Xu Jiansheng’s money belongs to her son and daughter. She couldn’t let her son and daughter use lesser of his money, so she hurried to talk to the old lady about it.

TL Note: The nerve!!

The old lady had just made such a big commotion with Erya, so why should he spend the wrong money for that girl? And she called Xu Jiansheng right away.

“Second sister-in-law, what are you doing?” Liu Qiao patted her behind her back.

Zhang Cuiqin was taken aback, turned around and touched her heart, “What are you doing to scare people.”

“We’re going to work, dad asked me to call you.” Liu Qiao said, and took a look at the inside of the hall. Seeing the old lady and Xu Jiansheng in it, the old lady was still wiping tears and tapping the table, and guessed that it was because of Erya. “Second sister-in-law, let’s go, mom will take it from here.”

They finished talking and left with a smile.

Zhang Cuiqin snorted, “I will pretend all day long, thinking that I don’t know your thoughts.”

Liu Qiao went to call Xu Nannan again, but Xu Nannan was not willing to go. She didn’t want to go to the ground. Now that Xu Jiansheng is back, she certainly has to take this opportunity to rest. Most importantly, Xu Jiansheng said that he was going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy her things, and she had to wait at home. Liu Qiao seemed to have some scruples too. Seeing that she was unwilling to go, and said nothing, she took the tool and left.

When Zhang Cuiqin heard that Xu Nannan was unwilling to go to the ground, she subconsciously went to the old lady to file a complaint. Xu Jianhai couldn’t stand it anymore, so he pulled her and walked out, “Big brother finally came back once and you let him go everywhere.”

This woman is so stupid. There was only such a disturbance today and the eldest brother must be unhappy. Now she is forcing his daughter to go to the ground, and then he will definitely blame Zhang Cuiqin. Can you live a good life in the city with her two children? After all, there are not only her two children in the city, but also the third child’s two children. If the eldest brother is partial, no one can say anything.

Look at how smart the third wife is. Xu Jianhai suddenly felt that finding a smart wife would really save trouble.

Xu Nannan has been waiting in the house for news from Xu Jiansheng. After Xu Xiaoman took a nap, she closed her eyes and checked her Taobao store.

The funds are still so much, even if you only buy the cheapest biscuits in the future, it won’t take long. Alas, she thought she could live a good life in this era by relying on this, but she didn’t expect that this Taobao shop would soon become a tasteless one.

She was operating the Taobao interface depressedly, suddenly seeing something, her eyes widened in surprise.

The money on Taobao is so much… There were suddenly 300 more!

Xu Nannan felt that she must have been dazzled, wrong, she was checking it with consciousness. Xu Nannan focused on looking at those numbers, and he saw the 1,200 dollars above.

There was really more!

Where did this money come from? Xu Nannan was surprised, but couldn’t help but wonder. Could this money increase by itself? What is the law? You can’t just wait like this and just wait by luck.

Xu Nannan carefully browsed her Taobao store, looking for clues. Finally, she found out that one of the goods in her store had disappeared.

It was an old version of “A Dream of Red Mansions”, and Xu Nannan still remembered that the pages of this book were already very torn, and even lacked content in it. After hanging up for a long time, no one bought it. Xu Nannan thought no one would buy it, but now, it was unexpectedly sold! And it was sold after she came to the sixties. How is this book sold? At least the seller will pay after receiving the goods. She searched through the cargo records and found one. The address above was the city where she lived in the 21st century, and it was a same-city express. No wonder it’s so fast, but who sent this product and how?

Xu Nannan looked dumbfounded.

After a long pause, Xu Nannan smiled happily, covering her face with her hands, and smiling very happily with her mouth bent.

No matter what is going on, there is finally a chance to increase her income. There are still some goods in her Taobao store. If all of them are sold one after another, she can earn tens of thousands of dollars.

How much grain can I buy for 10,000 yuan?

Xu Nannan flattened his mouth, and couldn’t help buying herself something delicious to celebrate.

Xu Nannan was in a good mood, even when she saw Xu Jiansheng again, she wore a smiling face.

Xu Jiansheng showed an embarrassed and guilty smile.

Seeing him like this, the smile on Xu Nannan’s face couldn’t be held back, and she slowly cooled down, “Dad, didn’t you mean to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things? Where are the things?”

“Nannan, it’s too difficult at home now, you have to spend money everywhere. For you, wait a while. Dad will be paid next month, and then think of a way…” But there is no confidence in these words. Xu Jiansheng’s voice sounds very vacant.

Xu Nannan’s face was completely cold.

She knew that Xu Jiansheng didn’t care for her daughters, but she didn’t expect that Xu Jiansheng would forget everything he promised her. She said before that she looked at him like a tough guy, which really praised him. As long as you are a man, you won’t lose faith in others!

Seeing Xu Jiansheng lowered his head, Xu Nannan did not continue to ask him why he didn’t buy it. Needless to say, she knows what the old lady did.

But it doesn’t matter anymore. Since Xu Jiansheng said so, she said nothing more in vain.

“Okay, I see.” Xu Nannan entered the room and closed the door.
