Chapter 32 Not Expensive at All

When the oxcart arrived at the production team, Wang Tiezhu, the captain, was already standing under the big locust tree waiting. Looking at these educated youths with thin skin and tender flesh in front of him, he felt a headache.

  When his eyes fell on Shen Zhihuan, who was getting out of the car with a backpack, Wang Tiezhu's face was a little surprised.

  Didn't everyone say that the third girl in Widow Li's family was no longer good?

  Why does his face look so good...

  "Uncle Tiezhu." Seeing Wang Tiezhu's eyes falling on him, Shen Zhihuan called out with a smile.

  "It's sunny outside, go back quickly! Don't worry about your mother and your little brother." A smile appeared on Wang Tiezhu's dark face, looking soft and kind-hearted.

  "Hey! Uncle Tiezhu, you're busy, so I'll go back first." Shen Zhihuan threw the backpack behind him and nodded with a smile.

  He is worthy of being the popular candidate for the next Panshi Village Captain. His behavior is such that no one can find anything wrong with him.

  After taking a few steps, Wang Tiezhu's seemingly honest voice came from behind.

  "Welcome, welcome! You all have worked hard along the way..."

  Shen Zhihuan twitched the corner of his mouth and quickened his pace.

  Maybe it was still early. When Shen Zhihuan got home, Li Qiuhua and Xiao Weidong had not returned from work.

  Shen Zhihuan moved the water placed under the grape trellis to the door of the hut.

  The temperature is high during this period, so even if you put the bath water under the eaves, it will still get hot after a while.

  Shen Zhihuan washed the pork ribs and put them in a large iron pot to simmer. Then he took out a few pieces of ribs from the resort, slaughtered them and threw them into the large iron pot to stew them together.

  After the rice was stuffed into the pot next to it, Shen Zhihuan put today's spoils into the cabinet in Li Qiuhua's house, along with the milk powder Qin Bin helped her get, a few apples, mangoes and a large handful of plums.

  As soon as Shen Zhihuan poured the rice into the jar in the corner of the room, she heard the sound of the courtyard door being pushed open.

  Little Weidong, who smelled the delicious food, rushed to the kitchen but saw no one, and immediately ran to Shen Zhihuan's room. Little Weidong, who saw no one, immediately ran to Li Qiuhua's room to look for someone.

  "Third sister, are you tired or hungry?" Little Weidong looked up at Shen Zhihuan with a worried face, looking up at her sweaty and red face.

  "I'm not hungry or tired!" Shen Zhihuan sighed and laughed.

  When the outstretched hand saw the sweat on Xiao Weidong's forehead, he retracted it very naturally,

  "Take a shower, look at how sweaty you are." Shen Zhihuan turned around and went to the nearby closet to get Xiao Weidong and Li Qiuhua's change of clothes. .

  When Li Qiuhua came in, Shen Zhihuan had just closed the closet door. She looked up and down several times to make sure that her daughter was okay. Only then did Li Qiuhua let go of the worry that had been hanging in her throat all morning.

  "Third Sister, did you buy all these today?" Looking at the purple-black grapes and the red and round cherries in the basin, Xiao Weidong's eyes suddenly brightened.

  "The dishes will need to be simmered for a while. Let's eat some fruit first to satisfy our stomach. There are also chicken cakes, peach cakes, canned food, White Rabbit toffee, glutinous rice sticks, etc. in the cabinet. If you want to eat, go get it yourself." Shen Zhi laughed happily. Then he picked up a cherry and stuffed it into Xiao Weidong's mouth.

  "There are seeds in it. You have to spit it out. Don't swallow it." Shen Zhihuan immediately warned.

  While speaking, Shen Zhihuan stuffed another cherry into Li Qiuhua's mouth.

  "Is this thing expensive?" Li Qiuhua felt uneasy.

  These days, fruits, like watches, are luxury goods.

  It is not something that ordinary people can afford.

  Many people in the village are reluctant to buy a pound of fruit to taste it.     "It's not expensive. My classmate's brother is just doing this. He always pays me the purchase price. Mom, just feel free to eat it!" Shen Zhihuan lowered his head and peeled the grapes and said with a smile.

  "Mom, there are three bags of milk powder in the cabinet. When you wake up every morning,

  you and your little brother can make a cup each." "Milk powder has a shelf life. Don't be reluctant to drink it. After the shelf life, you have to throw it away." Shen Zhihuan thought. After thinking for a while, he added another sentence.

  "Shelf life? What is the shelf life? Why should I throw it away after the shelf life?" Li Qiuhua was just about to say that she didn't need to drink something as good as milk powder and was saving it for Shen Zhihuan and Xiao Weidong. When she heard Shen Zhihuan say this, she couldn't help but A little anxious.

  Although she had never eaten milk powder, she had heard people talk about it. Although she couldn't remember the specific details, she still remembered that it was very expensive.

  "The shelf life is..." Shen Zhihuan really wanted to be deceived.

  "The shelf life is...the best period of consumption of milk powder. If it is left for too long, the milk powder will go bad and cannot be brewed for drinking. If people drink milk powder that has passed its shelf life, they will get sick." Shen Zhihuan rack your brains.

  When the book comes to use, I will regret it less!

  "Mom, these milk powders were all bought by my classmate's brother. They were all given to me at the purchase price, so you can drink them with confidence! Let's buy them again after you finish drinking them. It's not expensive at all." Shen Zhihuan's face was not red and her heart was not beating. .

  Fortunately, the original owner went to school, otherwise, where would she find a classmate and her classmate's brother to take the blame?

  "Really?" Li Qiuhua looked at his daughter hesitantly.

  But didn't Wang Chunmei, the one who was struck by lightning, say that milk powder is extremely expensive?

  A few years ago, her brother gave her a bag, and she occasionally took it out to wipe the dust on the bag without even bothering to open it and taste it.

  "Really, more precious than pearls." Shen Zhihuan smiled and stuffed the freshly peeled grapes into Li Qiuhua's mouth.

  "Third sister, you eat too." Xiao Weidong grinned and stuffed a grape that he had peeled a little too badly into Shen Zhihuan's mouth.

  After stuffing it, he did not forget to stare at Shen Zhihuan and ask: "Third sister, is it sweet?"

  "Sweet!" Shen Zhihuan's sticky hands directly rubbed Xiao Weidong's face, "It's so sweet that it's so sweet to Third Sister's heart. "

  After laughing enough, Shen Zhihuan washed his hands and wiped Xiao Weidong's face with a handkerchief.

  "Mom, my little brother will be six years old after the Chinese New Year. Little Fatty is the same age as my little brother. He went to school last year. I thought that after the summer vacation, let him go to school with Little Fatty."

  "Go to school..." Li Qiuhua said Confused face.

  These days, life is still very difficult for most families, and many families do not have enough savings to send their children to school. Therefore, many children go to the fields with their parents to earn work points to support their families when they are very young.

  Even if they are too young to earn work points, they will follow their older children into the mountains to dig wild vegetables and collect firewood, helping to reduce the burden on their parents.

  In addition, people in this era have not yet realized that knowledge can change their destiny, so many families have no intention or plan to send their children to school. This has also resulted in many people never having the opportunity to enter school in their lives.

  In the original owner's family, Shen Zhimei and Shen Zhilan were also among those many people.

  The reason why the original owner was able to go to school was not because Butcher Li and his wife or the original owner's wife and Shen Jianguo had become more conscious, but because the original owner's health forced them to spend money to plan a future for the original owner.

  Otherwise, with the original owner's lingering body, he would have to fall to the ground vertically and come up sideways.
