This year there are three educated youths in the village who will return to the city to visit relatives. The village decided to allocate one to Li Mo. They can also get Li Mo to buy some parts and farm tools for the village.

The other two village party secretary let Lu Ping look at the arrangement. After thinking about it, Lu Ping recruited all the educated youths to discuss together. The last two places are Feng Qing and Meng Fang.

The village opened a letter of introduction to Li Mo, it would be more convenient to buy things.

He gave the list and money to Li Mo.

In mid-December, Li Mo carried a bamboo basket with dried meat and mountain products to be brought to his family, and brought his suitcase to the town to take the train.

The train ticket was still obtained by the village director of women. Her maiden brothers are all mixed up well, and there is something to do with the family.

The train tickets are hard seats, and the trains are extremely crowded every year. Everyone has big bags.

Li Mo had already quietly replaced the jerky in the basket with a large cotton coat that didn't take up any weight, and waited for everyone to change it.

Li Mo didn't stand out on the train either. She was eating what others ate.

She didn't dare to leave her seat at will, because there was no one looking at her things. Although there were no valuables in the luggage, she couldn't drop them. Even if it is a cotton-padded jacket, cotton is not easy to buy in this era, and the down jacket of space cannot be taken out at all.

The aunt sitting next to me is also alone. She said to Li Mo, "Comrade, I will help you look at things. Can you change me when you come back after washing?"

After expressing her gratitude, Li Mo immediately went to the toilet to wash. There were many people in the toilet, and she had been in line for a long time. After washing, I took a cup of hot water and hurried back to change the aunt.

The train shook and arrived in Shanghai when Li Mo was in a daze.

The announcer on the train said: "Comrade passengers, the Shanghai station has arrived. We will stay here for half an hour."

Li Mo walked out with his luggage, and took the tram home from the train station.

There was no one at home when he went home, so Li Mo took the opportunity to take out everything he needed to take out.

Her mother hasn't come back after five o'clock, and she will be off work soon. Li Mo went to the stove in the corridor to cook, then washed and cut the vegetables.

Aunt Cui next door was shocked when she saw her. "Li Mo, are you back?"

"The village gave me a place to visit relatives and come back for the New Year."

"It's okay to come back. Your mother has been talking about you for a long time. Your mother went to your second brother's partner's house to discuss the marriage. They should be back later."

Xia Mei came back at half past five. When she was outside, others had told her that Li Mo was back, so she hurried to go home.

"Momo, you're back, you're taller and thinner."

Li Mo was also very helpless. Although she had a lot of work to do in the countryside, she was full of food. After the autumn harvest, the Northeast is rich in products and gained a lot of weight.

Mothers look at their children like this, even if they gain weight, they will lose weight in their eyes.

"Mom, I'm not thin. I told you that in the autumn, the village went hunting in the mountains and got a dozen wild boars. There were also a dozen roe deer. That pheasant and hare piled up like a hill. You can take a closer look to see if I am fat. ?"

Xia Mei stopped and Li Mo said this carefully, and said: "I am not fat, but still so thin."

"I'm full every day, and occasionally I have meat to eat. Mom, did you know that the water freezes after the winter, and the silly roe deer can't move on the ice. A hammer is accurate. There are also pheasants without food after snowing? It's easy to catch the crowds down the mountain looking for food."

Xia Mei's mother didn't take it seriously, because there are good things that can give the educated youth so much?

Li Mo pointed to the big dining table in the hall and said: "Mom, don't believe me, that pheasant is much older. And the roe deer meat and pork from the village, I learned to air-dry and bring it back. Look at the table. ?"

Xia Mei followed Li Mo's direction and looked at her, but she was much older, and it was really embarrassing for her to bring her back so heavy.

"You definitely haven't eaten so much meat, why don't you save more."

"Educated youth people do this, can't I eat with you when I come back for the New Year?"

"Then you have to eat more. Going to the countryside to farm is too tired. You have never done this kind of work since you were a kid."

"Mom, did you send the things I mailed back to my grandma last year?"

"Your grandma, I secretly gave it to her, saying that you respected her."

"Dad didn't say anything?"

"What can your dad say? Your milk never regarded your dad as her own son. She wish he didn't have him. She almost choked him to death in the year when I gave birth to your eldest sister. I won't give it to her."

"Don't be angry, just an old rural lady, don't give it if you don't give it, doesn't she still ask her dad for five yuan a month?"

"When I said she was angry, she wanted your dad to find a job for your third uncle's daughter in the factory. My own daughter has gone to the countryside, so why bother to find a job for other people?

"Then let's spend New Year's home here this year?"

"It's just over here. In two days, you and your eldest brother will give your grandma some meat. Your dad and I don't have time for your siblings to be brought up by your grandma."

Li Mo's grandma is from Shanghai, and Xia Mei is the eldest daughter of the family. There are many daughters in the Xia family, and the old lady Xia has only given birth to a son when she is almost forty.

When the old lady gave birth to her son, the daughters in the family were married, and the younger daughter had no job, so she retired and gave the job to the younger daughter. She took her son with her own mind and also took her grandson with her by the way.

"Mom, is my second brother's wedding time set?"

"It's set, just on twenty-sixth. Thanks to the mountain products you sent back last year, this brings meat back again. Otherwise, it's not easy to buy."

"My uncle is still not married, he is one year older than elder brother, right?"

Speaking of her little brother Xia Mei, he is full of love, just like her son.

"The lady of the previous photo is too demanding, and our family has no savings when we take it out. If you can't talk about it at all, your grandma won't bother to kiss them."

"This fall, your uncle himself and a girl in the factory saw each other. Your grandma is still under investigation. This is no accident."

"Let's take half of this meat. My uncle will use it when we get married next year."

Xia Mei is a more courageous and prestigious family head. Generally, when a daughter-in-law is married, she takes her son-in-law to eat at home, and the daughter-in-law has long been making noise.

Xia Mei said that her daughter and son were all born to her, and that she would give her things to whomever she loved, and don't even think about putting her in a person's purse. If you are not satisfied, go back to your natal home and ask for it.

Before the sister-in-law asked her son Dandan to ask his grandmother to act coquettishly, Xia Mei lost her temper and ignored her eldest son's family for a week. She Said that the boss is a white-eyed wolf, and is used to scratching things of old men and old ladies.

Brother Li was so angry that he gave her sister-in-law a lesson, and even Dandan was well educated by him.

"Okay, I divided the things into our mothers and daughters for cooking. Your eldest sister is pregnant, and we have all eaten at our house recently."

After six o'clock, all the people who went to work and school were home one after another. I was surprised and very happy to see Li Mo.

"Little girl, why didn't you say in your letter that you want to come back?"

"A surprise for you, this matter was decided by the village suddenly. There was no quota in the village last year. Who knew that there was a quota this year, and it was my turn."

"Take the table for dinner."

After eating, Li Mo talked to her eldest sister. "Sister, you've been a few months, and Mom didn't write to me."

"It's been five months, I haven't told you before I was born."

"Your belly is so big, it doesn't look like five months."

"The doctor said about twins, I was worried about what to do after giving birth. The twins would not be able to feed."

"Our family is not bad, you and brother-in-law also have wages, and are you worried that the children will not be able to be supported?"

"You don't know, your brother-in-law is eccentric and overbearing. In the past, your brother-in-law's salary was paid by his mother, and he went to the factory every month to get it. If he didn't give it, we made trouble. Finally, we were able to get half of it every month. "

"Then can you keep up with nutrition?"

"I am eating at my mother's place now, and my mother always makes up for me, for fear that my sister-in-law will be upset."

"Just her petty air, ignore her. I brought some millet white noodles back, and you take them back."

She got up and pretended to dig out a bag of millet, a bag of white flour, and a bag of walnuts from the box.

"Sister, take this walnut back, and eat one a day. I heard that this stuff makes children smart."

"Momo, keep it for yourself, or feed it to your parents."

"I didn't know you were pregnant, and I didn't prepare anything. You take it back and eat it at night when you are hungry. If you give it to mom, it will definitely be cheaper."

"Where did you come from such a thing, Momo, don't go to the black market and do some speculation. Do you remember Heizi? He was caught in a cell for speculation instead."

"Sister, please rest assured that I will not do bad things. I trade with fellow villagers. The walnuts are picked up in the mountains. I can't bring them back when I get too old. I'll send you some more next time."

"I don't want it, you can eat it yourself. You can eat enough in the country. Our family are all workers, so you have to go to the countryside. You have calluses on your hands."

"Don't cry, the countryside eats much better than ours in Shanghai, and there is often meat to eat."

"Bad girl, who are you fooling? Our nanny can't eat meat a few times a year."

"There are a lot of big animals in the mountains, don't believe me, hurry up and let my brother-in-law take you back with something. Just so my sister-in-law is gone, don't let him know."

"Don't arrange your sister-in-law. Everyone is a son inheriting the family property. It must be uncomfortable for our girl to drag her."

"Just be considerate of others, and you can go quickly." As he said, he helped Xia Ru go out, and shouted as he walked: "Brother-in-law, it's late, take your wife home."

The brother-in-law walked over to take Xia Ru, took the package from Li Mo, and talked to Xia Mei Li Zhongguo and left.

The younger brother and younger sister at home finally found a chance to talk to Li Mo, and the room for three people was separated by one room. Li Mo and his little sister slept inside, and the little brother slept outside.

Housing in Shanghai is tight. Many families live in a house of dozens of square meters, with a family of 10 or 20 people.

Li Mo also took out the pine nuts and walnuts he brought to them. There are few snacks in this era, and the adults in the family usually don't buy snacks for the children.

The two little guys were very happy, holding things and talking nonstop. After talking, both fell asleep, and the two little guys have to go to school tomorrow.
