The room was quiet, no one spoke, several people, including Chen Youshan's two sons, all stared wide-eyed, looked at Bai Tang, then at the village chief, and had guesses in their hearts, but they couldn't believe it.

Even if they go to help the villagers build houses, they only take care of one meal, and they have to do a whole day's work, and they only eat common foods such as cornmeal and sweet potatoes.

This is white sugar, and the supply and marketing cooperatives in the city will only sell them white sugar if they have a sugar ticket!They can't eat it a few times a year, so they repaired a roof and didn't take up the time for work. They just got off work in the afternoon and went to do whatever they wanted. Why would they give them sugar?

Chen Xiaowa licked his lips and looked at the white sugar on the table without blinking. The last time he ate candy was more than half a year ago. When he went to his grandmother's house, his grandmother secretly made him a bowl of sugar water and put half a spoonful of it Sugar, it's so sweet!That feeling, he is drooling now thinking of it.

Chen Youshan's youngest son, Chen Jianshe, spoke first. He looked at the white sugar on the table with good eyesight, and stammered, "Father, father, this candy..."

The others also looked at Chen Youshan eagerly, hoping that he could give a correct sentence.

Chen Youshan coughed lightly, and knocked on the table: "This white sugar was given by Xu Zhiqing, the newcomer. Thank you for helping him repair the house, and asked me to give it to you."

Chen Laosan shivered for a while, and said in surprise: "It's really for us!"

"How can I lie to you?!" Chen Youshan glared at him, "If you don't want it, you can do it, so just pretend it's nothing."

"Yes, yes." Chen Laosan repeated authentically, and was not angry when the village chief laughed and scolded him a few times. He looked at the white sugar on the table cheerfully, his eyes were glued.

"Old lady, bring me your rice scale." Chen Youshan yelled towards the kitchen.

He asked people to come into the main room to talk about things, but the family did not dare to come in. His wife Liu Cui and several daughters-in-law were hiding in the kitchen, waiting for him to finish talking, so that they could set up a dining table for dinner in the main room.

"Here we come." Liu Cui heard her man shout, and hurriedly went to the rice jar to take out the small scale inside.

It is said to be a rice jar, but in fact there is no rice in it, but cornmeal.Most households have this kind of small scale for weighing grain, and you can count how much you eat in one meal, especially during the famine years, when every family counted their grain.

Like the village head's family, Liu Cui is not an evil mother-in-law, and she is tolerant of her daughters-in-law. Usually, the daughter-in-laws take turns to cook, and they rarely use the rice scale. It's just a decoration.

"This old man doesn't let people eat at night, and he doesn't know what to do." Liu Cui complained, but the daughters-in-law didn't dare to answer the words, and watched her leave the kitchen with a rice scale.

"Sister-in-law, what do you think daddy wants rice scales for?" As soon as Liu Cui left, the daughters-in-law immediately became animated, and the second daughter-in-law Fan Li leaned over to the eldest daughter-in-law Chen Zhaodi, muttering in a low voice.

"How do I know?" Chen Zhaodi poked the stove with the tongs, and lowered the fire a little, leaving only a small fire to warm the rice in the pot.

Fan Li didn't get a result from her sister-in-law, so she turned to look for Chen Xing. Chen Xing was Chen Youshan's youngest daughter-in-law and Zhao Qinqin's cousin.

"Myolie, isn't your uncle also in the room, do you know?"

Chen Xing stopped the movement of her hands, and laughed: "Sister-in-law, my uncle is not the only one in this room, besides, you don't know, how could I know."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Fan Li to speak, Chen Xing hurriedly wiped her hands and said to Chen Zhaodi: "Sister-in-law, I'll go into the room to check on Maodan, I don't worry about him being alone."

After Chen Zhaodi agreed, Chen Xing ran away immediately like a dog chasing after her. Chen Zhaodi was the eldest sister-in-law, so she could ignore Fan Li. She was the youngest daughter-in-law, and she always heard the second sister-in-law chattering in her ears, which was really annoying.

In the main room, Chen Youshan was carefully weighing sugar with a small rice scale in front of everyone's gaze.

"Two catties and four liang." Chen Youshan showed others the scale on the scale.

Several people craned their necks to watch, and immediately began to calculate how much they could get. They went to a total of five people, and each person was half a catty.

In fact, when Xu Hengzhou wrapped the sugar, he packed it according to the whole catty, a pack of two catties, but the paper bag was not tight enough, and he habitually added wear and tear, so each bag would pack a little more.

"Five of you, Xiaowa counts as half labor, so divide it into four ounces, and the rest into half a catty, can you make it?" Seeing that everyone was silent, Chen Youshan knew that they were waiting for him, so he opened his mouth and said directly.

Brothers Chen Jianmin, Chen Jianshe, and Liu Cui who came in with the scale and stood aside were all relieved. They were afraid that Chen Youshan would show his style again and let their son get less points.

Chen Laosan rubbed his teeth, feeling a little unwilling, but also knew that this was the fairest way.Thinking about it again, originally he brought Chen Xiaowa to help, and he didn't intend to get any benefits. The white sugar was already a surprise, and their family even divided it into two!Thinking of this made him feel better.

"Okay, that's how it is." Chen Laosan agreed instead of Chen Xiaowa, and the others had nothing to say, so he agreed, and the candy could be shared.

Seeing that they all agreed, Chen Youshan took the scale and began to divide the sugar. One was holding the scale, and the other was holding a paper bag and pouring it on the weighing pan. A single candy would make people feel distressed for a long time, so he quickly blocked the table and twisted it.

It was divided into five parts, and everyone was smiling. Chen Xiaowa took his share, and impatiently squeezed a pinch of sugar into his mouth, narrowing his eyes with joy.

Chen Laosan slapped him angrily, but the smile on his face still couldn't stop.

Chen Xi held the paper bag happily and didn't know what to do. To him, what happened today was really like a dream. Now he finally understood why his elder brother asked him to help.

"This, I'm really embarrassed." Chen Xi rubbed his hands, and suddenly asked Chen Youshan: "Village chief, when will Xu Zhiqing live in?"

Chen Youshan said: "It's getting late today, tell him tomorrow, it should be at noon or at night."

Chen Xi immediately said: "Then I'll go and tidy up his house, he's a boy from the city, how can he do this, I'll ask my guy to clean it up for him."

When Chen Laosan heard it, he immediately agreed: "Yes, there is nothing in his room, so I need to get something useful first. I still have a finished wooden plank at home, and I will build a bed for him tomorrow."

The Chen brothers looked at each other and said, "Let's go too."

Chen Youshan thought about it, too, just having a house is not enough, the things in the house have already been taken away, why did he forget about it.

"I'll talk to Xu Zhiqing tomorrow and see what he says." Chen Youshan said.

The few people made up their minds and went home happily with the sugar they had been given.As soon as the door of Chen Youshan's house was closed, Liu Cui hurried over to ask her two sons to hand over the sugar they had been given, regardless of the hurry to eat.

There is no separation in the family, they live together on weekdays, and all the money and food they earn are handed over, but the Chen brothers still feel a little uncomfortable when they hand over the things they got.

"Keep it." Chen Youshan said: "What can this little sugar do, take it back and give the baby a bowl of water to drink."

"It's time to eat." Liu Cui waved her hands unwillingly, and went out to ask her daughter-in-law to bring the meal.

At this time, the educated youth had already finished their meal, Xu Hengzhou sat on his bedside quilt, and Xiang Chen pinched his arms and beat his legs attentively.

He had done a day's work today. Although he was physically strong and able to hold on, he was unavoidably uncomfortable.While fetching water, Xiang Chen saw him shake his arm and knew that his arm was sore, so he immediately offered to massage him.

His own child loved him, and Xu Hengzhou felt very happy, thinking that no matter how well he pressed it, this kindness was enough for him.

Originally, Xu Hengzhou should lie down, but none of the other educated youths are going to bed at the moment, and it's not good for them to be too prominent, so he discussed with Xiang Chen that he should pat his back first.

So there was the present scene, Xiang Chen squeezed Xu Hengzhou's arm, knelt behind him and beat his back, asking "Is it heavy" and "Is it comfortable?" from time to time.

The other educated youths were envious of him, but they couldn't say anything when his younger brother beat his elder brother's back. At most, there were two bitter words from bad intentions, saying that Xu Hengzhou couldn't bear suffering and loved to enjoy himself.

Lin Jiayan was so envious, he moved closer to the two of them and watched for a long time, then said to Xu Hengzhou sourly: "Why don't I have such a younger brother? He is so caring."

Xu Hengzhou looked smug, and pretended not to care: "Oh, I can't help it. If you say I've worked hard, you can't stop me if you insist on hammering me on the back."

Lin Jiayan laughed angrily, and deliberately said to Xiang Chen: "Chenchen, your brother knows how to order you. Come and be my younger brother. I will definitely treat you better than he treats you."

He heard Xu Hengzhou call Xiang Chen "Chen Chen", so he followed suit.

As a result, without waiting for Xu Hengzhou to speak, Xiang Chen jumped forward, hugged Xu Hengzhou from behind, looked at Lin Jiayan vigilantly, and said angrily, "My brother is the best to me, I only want him alone!"

Well, be a villain for nothing.

Lin Jiayan looked at Xiang Chen, feeling even more curious. He felt that he was just like the brother he wanted the most. No, he was better than he thought. He was good-looking, obedient and sensible, and knew how to love his brother.

Xu Hengzhou couldn't be happier, he pulled Xiang Chen into his arms, ruffled his hair, then lowered his head and kissed him twice on the face, and said with a smile, "You're so cute."

Xiang Chen covered the place where he was kissed, his face blushed slightly, his brother treated him like a big baby, he would often rub and hug him, but he rarely kissed him, especially after he grew up.Xiang Chen was a little stunned by these two sudden appearances.

It's not that I hate it, it's just... shy.He is so old, it's embarrassing for my brother to kiss him in front of so many people.

"I heard, my brother despises you, hurry up and go away." Xu Hengzhou got his wish and waved Lin Jiayan away.

Lin Jiayan looked at Xiang Chen eagerly, and Xiang Chen was huddled in his brother's arms, still shy, and didn't even give him a look.

Lin Jiayan's heart was broken, and holding a heart that wanted to be a big brother, she went back to her bed and sat back down.

Gao Yang watched the play for a long time, at this time he leaned over and said, "Old Lin, you want to look for me as an older brother, I will call you brother, I will be your younger brother."

Lin Jiayan turned his head and stared blankly at Gao Yang's bearded face, which looked particularly vicissitudes. For a while, he was at a loss for words to scold him.

Gao Yang didn't see the despair in his heart, he was still chattering: "It doesn't matter how nice you are to me, just hide you and share half of the wine with me, I'll call you whatever you want me to call you, what do you think? Sample?"

Lin Jiayan: "..."

Gao Yang: "Why don't I call you twice first, brother, brother?"

Lin Jiayan couldn't bear it anymore, pointed at the door: "Get out!"
