There is Room For Abandoned Women In the 1980s

Chapter 824 The sun rises in the west?

“Mom heard that there were people dying of hunger in Hongqi Commune, so she was thinking about you and was afraid that you would starve and suffer.”

“Xinyue, go and close the door!”

After saying that, the old lady stood up neatly in front of her daughter, and whispered to Xinyue to close the door, while she was busy emptying things out of the kang cabinet.

"If I don't pretend to be sick, can your brother buy these good things for me? Mom has kept them for you! Take them back when you leave later."

 After a while, a lot of good things were placed on the kang, including red dates, brown sugar, snacks, walnuts, and camellia noodles.

 Is it easy for her? In order to get something good for my daughter, I deliberately starve myself. If I don't see my daughter again, I will really get sick from hunger.

Out of the few children, she misses her daughter. Guilan is not easy. There are many children in the family and Xinyue is sick. Life is difficult, and she is afraid that her daughter will not be able to eat or drink.

“Mom, you can keep it to eat. My family’s conditions are better now. Several children have gone to work in the factory, and we have enough food to eat.”

Gao Guilan held her mother's hand that was as thin as an eagle's talons distressedly. In the past, the family was too difficult, so she always went back to her parents' house to enjoy the autumn breeze.

 “Are you all at work?”

The old lady was stunned when she heard this. How could she have changed so much in just a few months?

“Grandma, I work in a sugar factory, my eldest brother and my second brother work in a brick factory, and my third brother goes to the grain depot. My mother and I have brought you some delicious food this time!”

Zheng Xinyue only found a chance to speak. She put the basket on the ground and placed things on the kang one by one.

Jiang Ruhua didn't go to the kitchen to cook, so she stayed at the door and eavesdropped. When Zheng Xinyue said that she had brought a lot of food, she went outside the door in disbelief and stretched her neck and looked up at the sky.

Qin Xiuni was holding her breath while cooking in the kitchen. While cooking, she kept cursing in her heart:

“The food at home is not enough to eat. We drink porridge every day. The children are so hungry that they stagger when walking. Do we have to feed Gao Guilan and his wife? We still have to walk around when we can’t eat. It’s impossible to live this life.”

In anger, I cooked the porridge in the pot and cooled it off when the kitchen was hot. By the way, what good things did the old lady get for Gao Guilan?

Just thinking about the delicious food her husband brought back was given to her sister-in-law by the old lady, her heart hurt like a knife cutting out flesh.

When I left the kitchen, I saw Jiang Ruhua standing at the door looking at the sky. I couldn't help but move over and look up at the sky with her. After looking for a long time, I couldn't see anything, so I asked her in a low voice. "What are you looking at?"

"I just heard Xinyue say that she brought delicious food to mom. Do you think Gao Guilan can still bring food to us? She can bring food to our family. The sun has to come out from the west."

As a result, the sun did not come out from the west, but the red moon did.

Jiang Ruhua curled her lips, still not believing her ears, but Zheng Xinyue seemed to be really carrying a backpack when she came in just now.

She thought that the two women must have come with empty baskets and returned with full baskets, just like every time before.

"Humph, my conscience has discovered it! I'll spend my whole life running around my mother's house to fight against the autumn wind. It's okay to shed some blood. However, I guess she won't be able to get anything good. At most, it will be three or two kilograms of glutinous rice noodles. By then, she will have to take several times that amount from our house. Things, your eldest brother has been buying a lot of good things for the old lady these days! I didn’t see the old lady eating them either, so I’ll definitely keep them for her.”

Qin Xiuni said angrily that the three children in the family couldn't get anything good to eat, and the old lady gave everything to people with other surnames, and she was too concerned about her ribs.

“I saw that Xinyue seemed to be carrying an old reed hen that laid eggs?”
