In the courtyard, everyone is afraid of the little boy who is so smart!

The brothers Ma Ping and Ma Fan were not in the mood to go to work. They sat at the door with conflicted looks on their faces.

Because their mother loves Ma Xiaojuan the most. If she knew that Ma Xiaojuan had passed away, she would probably be very sad.

The two brothers looked at each other, not knowing how to explain this to their mother.

Moreover, my mother said some time ago that she wanted to go to the city to see her eldest grandson!

But who would have known that such a change would happen in the city? No wonder Ma Xiaojuan did not return to the countryside in the past few months, let alone send any food home.

"Brother, what should we do? Mom has not been in good health."

"If I tell my mom about this, what will I do if she can't stand it?"

Ma Ping also looked helpless.

"But mom said a few days ago that she didn't have much time left to live, and she wanted to see her eldest grandson and Xiaojuan."

"You know, if mom goes to work in the factory, wouldn't that make things even more difficult? And we can deceive people for a while, but can we keep it a secret forever?"

"Besides, Mom never says she misses Xiaojuan. Do you think she sensed it?"

People of this era were particularly feudal and superstitious, and the two brothers were in a dilemma.

Not knowing how to tell her mother about this, Ma Ping finally gritted her teeth.

"No matter what, our eldest nephew is still in the factory. What should we do if he is bullied?"

"Let's talk to mom and ask her to go into the city so we can go and take a look!"

Ma Fan also nodded. The two brothers returned home with an embarrassed look on their faces, and saw their mother sitting on the doorstep washing clothes.

In this era, the general age of marriage is relatively young. Li Anquan’s grandmother was only 55 years old!

However, because of working in the fields for a long time, his skin is a little dark and his face is full of wrinkles.

Seeing her two sons coming back, the old lady looked confused.

"Big brother, second brother, why are you back? Didn't you say you wanted to go up the mountain to catch some game?"

"I'm waiting for you to get some game and then go to the city to see your sister!"

Hearing his mother's urging, Ma Ping pushed Ma Fan. Seeing his elder brother pushing him out, he also looked helpless.

He came up to the old lady and said with a bitter look on his face:

"Mom, I have news for you. You must stay calm!"

The old lady tilted her head and her eyes were wide open.

"What's the matter? Tell me, why are you taking so long?"

Ma Fan took a deep breath.

"Mom, I just received news that my sister is gone. She died in a factory accident!"

The old lady opened her mouth wide and even forgot to breathe. She did not cry out loud.

Instead, he opened his eyes wide, tears slowly sliding down from the corners of his eyes, and he seemed to have lost all his energy.

When Ma Ping saw his mother's reaction, he also panicked. He hurriedly walked to the old lady, squatted down and shook the old lady's arm.

"Mom, you have to hold on. My sister has a son and a daughter in the city."

"The reason I told you this is that I was going to go into the factory with you to see those two kids!"

"Although my sister is gone, the two children still need to make a living, and they still have their grandma and uncle!"

The old lady's eyes gradually regained their spirit, and her dilated pupils slowly shrank.

After a moment, she patted her thigh.

"Big brother, second brother, hurry up and pack your things and go to the brigade to borrow a bullock cart. We will go to the factory now."

"I don't know what happened to the two kids. That damn Xiaojuan didn't listen to my advice."

"She insisted on marrying that damned girl Li Jianguo. How could she just let him go?"

The old lady finally cried out loud, and cried bitterly, but the two brothers Ma Ping and Ma Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

At least the old lady responded. The two brothers followed their mother's instructions and immediately went to borrow a ox cart.

The old lady was also in a hurry and wanted to bring everything she could from home!

Yan Bugui also came to Li Jianjun's house! Ma Xiaojuan and Li Jianjun's family had a very unhappy relationship before.

Because Li Jianjun also wanted his younger brother Li Jianguo's job, but in the end the job was given to Ma Xiaojuan.

After Yan Bugui explained his purpose, Li Jianjun became interested because his eldest son was much older than Li Anquan.

The job could also be given to the eldest son first, and he thanked Yan Bugui profusely.

So he prepared to go into the city to look for his nephew whom he had hardly seen for a few years!

……

After leaving the military compound, Li Anquan took Yu Li and her two siblings back to the supply and marketing cooperative.

He paid for some food and rice, then followed Yu Haibao to Li Xue's house to check!

Li Xue's family also lives in a courtyard house, which looks particularly shabby!

Moreover, the renovation inside the yard was even more shabby. Li Xue's family lived in a small room in the gatehouse.

A family of nine, all squeezed into a small room.

Yu Haibao was a little hesitant when he arrived at the gate of the yard. After being pushed by Li Anquan, he gritted his teeth and went to Li Xue's house.

"Comrade Li Xue, are you there? I'm Yu Haibao!"

Li Xue did not walk out of the room, but a woman in her 40s, full of vicissitudes of life, walked out.

The woman glanced at Li Anquan and the others.

When she saw the bicycle and the food on it, her eyes lit up and a smile appeared on her face.

"Young man, are you looking for my daughter Li Xue? What do you want from him?"

Yu Haibao naturally knew the woman in front of him. He blushed and scratched his head, not knowing what to say.

Seeing this, Li Anquan greeted the woman with a smile.

"Auntie, Haibao is Li Xue's classmate. They are not young anymore, so they can be considered old classmates."

"There is still affection. Our Haibao now has a house and a job. He likes your Li Xue. Aren't we coming to visit her?"

When the woman heard that they were coming for Li Xue, she immediately became alert, but Li Anquan patted Yu Haibao on the shoulder.

"Haibao, what are you still standing there for? Bring down the food you bought for Auntie's family first!"

Originally, the woman was thinking about whether or not to let Li Xue contact the other party.

But when she saw the 20-kilogram bag of grain that Yu Haibao brought over, a smile appeared on her face.

"Come if you want! It's embarrassing to bring so much food with you."

After she finished speaking, she shouted into the house:

"Xiaoxue, come out quickly, your classmates are here."

Li Xue's family has strict discipline and usually doesn't let her go out. She had heard Yu Haibao's voice outside a long time ago.

She was so anxious that she kept stamping her feet in the house, but her mother wanted to marry her to a 40-year-old security guard.

Because the other party was willing to pay 200 yuan, she tried to resist, but to no avail.

Now Li Xue is just waiting for graduation and may get married with the other party. After hearing her mother's words, Li Xue hurried out of the room.

Seeing that Yu Haibao was still carrying so many things, her eyes lit up. She had contributed a lot to this family.

But her parents have always used the excuse of raising her for so many years and not allowing her to have any wild thoughts!

She had seen the security guard before. He had an untidy beard and looked particularly wretched!

Li Xue also has feelings for Hai Bao, but she is worried about asking for a 200 yuan betrothal gift.

And I won’t return anything, Yu Haibao’s family will not agree, so I have never mentioned this topic to Yu Haibao!

Seeing that Yu Haibao was generous and brought so much food, Li Xue felt it necessary to talk to Yu Haibao.

Li Anquan helped unload the food from the car, and the woman smiled brightly. Li Xue hesitated and discussed with her mother:

"Mom, they are my classmates. Can I go out for a while? I'll be back soon!"

Li Xue's mother hesitated for a moment, looking at so much food, almost 100 kilograms, enough to feed the family for a long time.

These grains also cost more than ten yuan. She thought about it and then said:

"Then you should go early and come back early. Don't waste time and pay attention to some consequences!"
