Wearing sixty with a male god

Chapter 23 Buying money

The couple came back with a dark face, and the younger ones didn't dare to say a word. Even Chen Fen quickly helped boil water and wipe the table, for fear that the adults would burn them.

I still have to eat the angry rice again, and there is another pot of sorghum wild vegetable porridge. Cai Zhen is in a bad mood.In the mouth, the astringency of the wild vegetables and the bitterness of the paste pot make it unpalatable and make people want to vomit.

As soon as Chen Guoliang took a sip, he wanted to throw the bowl, but he held back. There was only so much food, and his hometown was still suffering from famine, so what was saved in his mouth had to be sent back, how could it be wasted.

So Chen Guoliang frowned and gulped down, the porridge couldn't even fit his mouth, as if it was poured down his throat.The younger ones all followed him, Chen Xiaohua and Chen Fang frowned and drank, Chen Fen pursed her mouth, and didn't dare to say anything.

When Song Wenbin knocked on the door, the Chen family had already finished their terrible dinner.

Cai Zhen was packing up the dishes when she heard a knock on the door and sent Chen Fang to open it.

Chen Fang opened the door and saw that it was Song Wenbin, and ran back, pulling Cai Zhen's clothes for her to see.

Cai Zhen saw the sack Song Wenbin was carrying at a glance, and a smile appeared on her slumped face: "Ah, Director Song, come in quickly."

Then she turned her head and said to Chen Fen, "Da Ni, go pour some water!"

"No." Song Wenbin directly refused, and didn't tell Cai Zhen that it was unnecessary, and went directly to the head of the family, Chen Guoliang: "Comrade Chen, please come out."

Upon hearing this, Chen Guoliang walked over with a smile on his face: "Director Song, what do you want from me?"

Song Wenbin took two steps back to get out of Chen Guoliang's figure, and then put the sack in his hand between the two of them: "This is the grain you bought for my nephew, I'll make it up for you, go find a scale Weigh it to see if it is enough."

Before Chen Guoliang could speak, Cai Zhen came up to her with eyes full of radiance, reached out to pick up the sack and wanted to move it into her room, and said: "No need to scale, we all trust you..."

It's no wonder Cai Zhen's attitude, the [-] catties of cornmeal, with a little bit of black steamed buns, is enough to feed their family for two months.In the past two years of famine, many people died of starvation in the countryside. Chen Guoliang sent back a lot of food to the village. In addition to the house, the Chen family has been struggling. This bag of cornmeal is a big deal for the current Chen family. entry.

How could Song Wenbin let Cai Zhen just take the grain away? He held down the grain bag and insisted that Chen Guoliang find a scale and weigh it again.

Chen Guoliang had no choice but to take the steelyard and weigh it in public to make sure that the weight of seventy catties was not too little.Then Song Wenbin took out another 50 yuan, counted it and handed it to Chen Guoliang.

It wasn't that he wanted to give more, but that Xiang Chen stayed at Chen Guoliang's house for a few days. Song Wenbin felt that if he wanted to break it up, he would cut it off completely, so that the Chen family couldn't find any excuses.

Let Chen Guoliang count the money again in public, and then return Chen Xiaohua's pair of shoes to Cai Zhen. Cai Zhen understood at a glance that Song Wenbin knew that the clothes were not theirs, and her lips twitched twice. He tore.

After finishing all this, Song Wenbin took out the pen and paper that he had prepared long ago, and asked Chen Guoliang to write down the "value" when he bought Xiang Chen, how much money he gave to the Chen family, and promised that he would never have anything to do with Xiang Chen again.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chen Guoliang's face was black and red, he finished writing the document with trembling hands, and then pressed his fingerprints, and then Song Wenbin asked Cai Zhen to press one on it.

After collecting the documents, Song Wenbin turned around and left the Chen family. The matter was settled, and he didn't want to get involved with the family for a second.

……

In the Song family, Song Wenbin went out with cornmeal, and asked the two younger ones to stay at home before leaving.

As soon as he left, Xiang Chen approached Xu Hengzhou and asked timidly, "Brother, did uncle bring food for the Chen family?"

He didn't stop talking all afternoon, and now he called Brother Xu Hengzhou very fluently.

"Yeah." Xu Hengzhou patted his head, "Calculate the account, so that they won't come back to talk about it later."

Xiang Chen opened his mouth, then lowered his head in frustration. It's not the time for him to just travel through time. The life of Chen Guoliang's family made him understand how food is in short supply now.His worth is not as low as he thought, so much food, Song Wenbin must be embarrassed!

"What are you thinking?" Xu Hengzhou saw his thoughts at a glance. He put the dejected little dumpling beside him into his arms and rubbed it, pinched the soft flesh of his cheeks, and said with a smile: "What are you doing so stupidly?" , and me, I won’t let you call me brother for nothing.”

Xiang Chen's face was pinched, and his speech was slurred: "But you have no money or food!"

Xu Hengzhou always treats him like a big doll, and now Xiang Chen wonders if his former male god brother has the same hobbies as little girls, like playing with dolls or something.

Xu Hengzhou choked on his words, he didn't have much money, but he had plenty of food!

But recently Xu Hengzhou tidied up the space and found a problem. He had a lot of food, but he couldn't take it out to eat.People's rations now include but are not limited to corn, sorghum, sweet potatoes, wild vegetables, etc. I heard that those in the countryside that have been severely affected by the disaster eat rice bran, wheat bran, straw, grass roots and bark.

Of course, rice and white noodles are also available in the city, which is included in the fine grain, but it is too little. In the past two years, it is almost only possible to supply a little during the Chinese New Year, and it is not always possible to grab it.

What is in Xu Hengzhou's space?Among other things, rice and white flour are the most common, and corn flour is also available, but it is too fine to cover even if you want to mix it in your own grain tank.The only thing that could get away with it was probably sweet potatoes, but Song Wenbin brought back a bag of cornmeal.

Xu Hengzhou himself could find a chance to eat some good food, but what about Song Wenbin and his little dumpling?

Xu Hengzhou couldn't help sighing as he had no golden fingers but couldn't use them.Xiang Chen didn't understand these entanglements in his heart, thinking that his own words had irritated him, it was too sad to have the heart to support a family but not the ability to support a family.

Feeling the same way, Xiang Chen opened his small arms and gave Xu Hengzhou a "man's hug", comforting him, "It's okay, you can earn a lot of food when you grow up."

The troubles in Xu Hengzhou's heart were completely dispelled by Xiang Chen's magical pen. He held back a smile and touched the serious little bun in front of him. He suddenly felt that it was good to meet this little guy, and the days to come would not be so boring.

When Song Wenbin entered the door, he saw the two little brothers sitting together affectionately. His nephew who looked like a grown-up was all smiles. Song Wenbin's bad mood caused by dealing with the Chen family just now disappeared instantly.

"Why are you so happy?" Song Wenbin approached him in a good mood and asked.

"Uncle, my brother said that he will grow up quickly and earn a lot of food." Xiang Chen hurriedly replied, and after speaking, he smiled at Xu Hengzhou proudly, as if to show his merit.

Xu Hengzhou: "...I never said that."

Xiang Chen: "Brother, he is shy!"

Xu Hengzhou: "..." This little idiot really can't be ignored!

"Okay, okay." Song Wenbin hugged Xiang Chen hilariously and held it high: "It's time for us to eat, we need to earn food until you grow up."

Song Wenbin went to the kitchen to boil water and cook corn paste. He was too busy today, so he only got cornmeal for food, and that was all he could eat at night.

A large pot of corn paste is cooked and placed in a basin on a small table. You can eat as much as you want.

The bowls that Song Wenbin bought were all the same, about the same size as the small soup bowl Xiang Chen used before, and Xiang Chen could bury his face in it with his head down.

Song Wenbin was used to being a soldier, and he ate very quickly, as if it was not too hot, so he swallowed two big bowls of mush.

He finished eating and saw that the two little ones were still eating.Just talk to them, and then go to pack your things.When I first moved in, I had to tidy up everywhere, and I had to remember what was missing before I took the time to buy it.

Because of Xu Hengzhou's family education, he always eats slowly, and he really doesn't like this kind of rough corn paste, and he is not like Xiang Chen who is hungry, so he eats very slowly.

Xiang Chen's slow eating was purely because the paste was too hot and the child's throat was small, and no one urged him, no one wanted to grab the food in his bowl, so naturally he was not in a hurry to pour it into his stomach.

But it's one thing not to reject it, another to like it.Xiang Chen is not a child of this era who was born and raised, he has eaten all kinds of delicacies, and now he eats this throat-scratching corn mush, and while eating, Xiang Chen can't help but start thinking about the delicious food of his own era.

So in the middle of eating, Xu Hengzhou heard him muttering while eating, and leaned over to listen out of curiosity.I saw Xiang Chen take a sip of mush, muttered "braised beef", another sip, old altar sauerkraut, another sip, fresh shrimp and fish plate...

Xu Hengzhou: "..."

This little fool is probably still thinking about the instant noodles at home!

After dinner, the three of you sat down and chatted for a while, then washed up and went to bed.Although there are lights in the house, the electricity bill is expensive at this time, and they don't have any activities that require lighting the lights, so they just go to bed earlier.

There are two rooms in the house, one is bigger and the other is smaller, Song Wenbin originally planned to live in the bigger room for the two children, but Xu Hengzhou and Xiang Chen refused, so he had to live in the bigger room by himself.

There was nothing in the room except the bed, Song Wenbin looked at it, and was going to find time to get a wardrobe and a desk.Both children have to study, so what can they do without a desk.

After Song Wenbin told Xu Hengzhou to take care of his younger brother, he went back to his room to sleep.

Xu Hengzhou looked at Xiaotuanzi sitting on the bed: "Do you want me to help you undress?"

Xiang Chen blushed, he was not really a child.Shaking his head hastily, he slowly unbuttoned himself, took off his clothes and trousers and got under the bed.

Then he looked up at Xu Hengzhou with his little head, and smiled flatteringly at him: "Brother, come quickly, the bed is so soft!"

Xu Hengzhou smiled, lay down and pinched Xiang Chen's face: "There is only one mattress, isn't your mattress softer than this one?"

Xiang Chen frowned, and said in a low voice: "But the mattresses of the Chen family are so hard, with pieces of cotton, so tight."

"Don't think about it." Xu Hengzhou said: "Their family will have nothing to do with you in the future, just close your eyes and sleep."

After a while, Xiang Chen whispered again: "Brother..."

Xu Hengzhou closed his eyes: "Why?"

A soft little hand stretched out from the side and grabbed Xu Hengzhou's fingers. Xiang Chen's little milk voice was soft and soft in the darkness: "It's great to meet you..."
