After buying the fine grains, Su Bai thought about it again.

Although Xiangzhang Village is isolated, it is not far from the county seat and therefore has electricity.

But every household is reluctant to light the electric light.

Basically, they all light kerosene lamps, and some villagers go to bed early in the evening to save electricity and fuel.

However, for Su Bai, the kerosene lamp still seemed dim.

Moreover, when Tangtang and Guoguo go to school, studying under a kerosene lamp is not good for their eyes.

Electric lights are also needed. Although it is not possible to light up all the rooms now, it is still possible to close one room.

In the future, I will find a way to make more money and light up the lights in all the rooms.

Su Bai thought about it while buying things according to the plan. When he came out of the supply and marketing cooperative, he was carrying a full load of things tied with two hemp ropes.

He walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative, took out the nylon bag from his pocket, and put all the things tied with two hemp ropes into it.

When passing by the meat factory, I happened to see a pork shop closing its stall.

There is still a lot of pork left on the newspaper that has not been sold out.

At a glance, they were all red and lean meat.

Su Bai's heart moved and he walked over quickly.

"Stall owner, how do you sell this meat?"

"Do you have any meat tickets?"

The stall owner stopped, looked up at Su Bai and asked.

Su Bai frowned and shook his head.

Meat tickets are very valuable in Xiangzhang Village, but he really doesn't have any.

Seeing Su Bai shaking his head, the stall owner said:

"If you don't have a ticket, it's $9 for fat meat and $7 for lean meat. Do you want it?"

These days, every household has no meat in their stomachs.

If you buy fat meat, you can boil it for cooking and eat lard residue. The price is naturally more expensive than lean meat, and it sells better than lean meat.

Although the principle is this.

But Su Bai, who was reborn, really didn't like eating fat meat.

So, he said directly:

"Two pounds of lean meat and one pound of fat meat."

It is the time when Tangtang and Guoguo at home are growing.

Of course, lean meat, which is high in protein, cannot be missing.

I didn’t see any milk today, so I must have arrived late. Come early tomorrow to see if I can buy it.

Although it is not as popular to drink milk as after the funeral, it should be available in the county town, right?

Su Bai's mind was filled with the need to slowly replenish the children's lost bodies.

"Okay!"

The pork stall owner picked up the meat cleaver and struck quickly and accurately.

Two large pieces of meat were cut up in one go, weighed, wrapped in newspaper, and handed to Su Bai.

"A total of five dollars and a half!"

Su Bai paid the money, took the meat, and then took a look at the sky.

It should be around eleven o'clock now.

Su Bai put the big nylon bag on his shoulder and walked back quickly.

After walking a few steps, he saw shredded radish pancakes for sale.

He bought three for ten cents each.

It was not for myself, but to give Lu Miaozhu and the two children a different taste.

…………

after an hour.

At around twelve o'clock, Su Bai walked to the door of his courtyard.

He hadn't eaten anything all morning and was very hungry. The large nylon bag he was carrying weighed heavily on his shoulders.

Su Bai wiped the sweat from his head and opened the door.

What Su Bai didn't expect was that when he walked inside, Lu Miaozhu was pulled out by Tangtang, and the two of them bumped into each other.

"I'm back……"

"You're back……"

The two spoke almost at the same time.

Before he could finish his words, he was stunned again.

Su Bai pursed his lips and smiled, and said:

"Yeah, I'm back."

Lu Miaozhu bit his lip gently, glanced at Su Bai who was covered in sweat, and then at the big nylon bag he was carrying.

My heart felt like it was touched lightly by something.

"Did you buy something?"

"Ah."

"Where did the money come from?"

Lu Miaozhu frowned slightly and looked at him.

to be frank.

Seeing what Su Bai had in his hand, Lu Miaozhu's first reaction was, where did Su Bai get the money?

Stolen?

Robbed?

Or was it a lie?

What made Lu Miaozhu even more annoyed was the first thought that came to her mind.

How to apologize to others later!

Apologize for Su Bai!

Su Bai seemed to have read her thoughts and quickly bent down to open the mouth of the nylon bag.

Then, after explaining it to Lu Miaozhu, at this moment, a small figure rushed over.

"Daddy, come back!"

It’s Tangtang.

Guoguo also followed her sister and ran out of the back room.

"Papa, where have you been? Guoguo misses you~"

The little guy's furry head was like a handful of dry grass, rubbing against Su Bai's neck, itching and tingling.

Guo Guo tilted her head, her big, round eyes filled with tears, misty and pitiful, with a flat mouth, looking at Su Bai, and said in a nasal voice:

"Guoguo, miss daddy, daddy is bad without Guoguo~"

Although Guoguo and Tangtang are twins.

but.

Because she is a younger sister, she was born with deficiencies in her mother's womb, and it is really difficult to give birth to twins in the countryside.

Therefore, Guoguo lags far behind Tangtang in terms of size and speaking ability.

Small body is thinner.

Two little guys, like polenta.

The chin was pointed, which made Su Bai feel distressed.

He quickly reached out his hand, patted the two little guys on the back, and said softly:

"Dad bought delicious candy for Candy, look!"

Su Bai said, quickly pointing to the bulging nylon bag on the ground.

Tangtangguo blinked curiously.

Su Bai smiled and rubbed Guoguo's head.

He took out the contents of the nylon bag one by one and did not forget to explain to Lu Miaozhu:

"Don't worry, I didn't steal or rob. I bought these with my own money."

Su Bai took out a lot of things.

There is meat, kerosene, light bulbs, oil, salt, etc.

All are in short supply at home.

Looking at these things, Lu Miaozhu's eyes grew wider and wider.

She opened her mouth, and after a while she heard her own voice:

"Earn money? Where do you earn it?"

Did you steal other people's things and sell them? !

Lu Miaozhu's palms suddenly became sweaty.

It's not like Su Bai has never done this before.

Two years ago, in order to buy a pair of leather shoes, Su Bai stole his elder brother Su Wen's cattle and sold them.

That’s the only farm animal in the family!

When it was discovered later, Su Bai's father was so angry that he fainted.

In anger, Su Wen broke off relations with his younger brother, took his family and his parents to the end of the village.

The two brothers Su Wen and Su Bai had been living together after their two sisters-in-law married into the next village.

There are two houses in this yard. Su Bai's father built them long ago, one room for each brother.

Su Wen and Su Bai are different.

Su Bai has been very lazy since he was a child, and he always resorts to evil ways.

His brother Su Wen is diligent and believes in getting rich through hard work.

Raise cattle, chickens, ducks and geese.

He even went up the mountain to reclaim a piece of wasteland and planted all the land that could be cultivated.

What he didn't expect was that in the end, his brother would do such a thing, and his life would naturally become unbearable.

Thinking of this, Lu Miaozhu's palms were filled with sweat.

All she could think about was what to do next.
