Surprise! Traveling through the book and going to the countryside, eating melons and watching plays

Lin Ru looked at the cloth bag in the old lady's hand warily, and saw her quickly open it, revealing six neatly stacked golden small yellow croakers inside.

"Big sister, do you think this can be exchanged for some food?"

Seeing that Lin Ru didn't say anything, the old lady thought that she was unwilling. She thought about the old man who was still lying at home and her little grandson who was so hungry that only his big head was left, and then she spoke anxiously with a thick face.

"Big sister, as long as it can be exchanged, you can give it as much as you want, no matter how much."

Lin Ru knew that the old lady had misunderstood, and said, "Aunt, you misunderstood. If you really want to change it, this small yellow croaker is more valuable than food."

"These yellow and white things can't be eaten or drunk. There are people at home who are waiting for food to save their lives. Big sister, please be kind enough to help exchange some."

The old lady said with a sad face.

Lin Ru thought that the old lady must come from a bad family background, which was why she was so short of food.

"Aunt, let's call it a day. No returns or exchanges. Where is your home? I'll send it to you later."

Looking at the old lady's condition, she probably doesn't have the strength to carry the food. Let's help her and send it back to her.

"Okay, big sister, just take this first, I'll be waiting for you at the entrance of the alley."

The old lady happily stuffed the cloth bag in her hand into my hand, then walked briskly to the entrance of the alley and waited.

Lin Ru felt that today's trip was quite interesting, and someone even delivered money to her door.

He entered the space and put the small yellow croaker together with the others, then rested for a while, and carried ten kilograms of flour, ten kilograms of rice, twenty kilograms of corn, two rabbits, and a can of malted milk.

After filling a backpack, Lin Ru went out to find the old lady to deliver the goods.

Although the entrance of the old house in front of me has lost its former glory, the interior still retains its original charm. The yard is very clean and the vegetable patch is empty. It should be because of its age and no one has the energy to take care of it.

"Grandma, you're back."

A little boy with a big head and a big belly but a thin body ran out and came to the old lady and called her affectionately.

"My dear grandson, we have food today." After the old lady finished talking to the little boy, she turned back and said to Lin Ru, "This is my grandson."

The old man's eyes were full of heartache.

"Hello, kid."

Lin Ru took out a handful of White Rabbit candies and stuffed them into the child's hand.

"grandmother……"

The boy looked at the candy in his hand, his eyes filled with desire, but he still asked his grandmother first, as the old lady had taught him well.

"It's given by your auntie. Just take it. Don't forget to thank her."

The old lady could endure any hardship and fatigue, but she wanted to make such a young child suffer with her. Seeing her grandson's greedy look, she couldn't bear to let him return it. She weighed the small yellow croaker she gave him and decided to use it as a deduction later.

"Thank you, aunt."

The little boy carefully put the candy into his pocket, then peeled one. Just when Lin Ru thought he would eat it himself, he stuffed it into his grandmother's mouth and licked his fingers. The little bit of sweetness that remained made the little boy smile.

"Grandma, eat it. Is it sweet?"

The old lady's eyes became red as she looked at her lovely grandson.

"Sweet, you feed me the sweetest. Be good and go to the house to see grandpa."

"Well, I'll feed Grandpa one too, so he won't feel any pain."

The little boy said this and skipped back into the house.

"His grandfather is ill, but with our status, hey..."

The old lady turned her head and wiped away her tears.

"I'm sorry to make you laugh, big sister. Just put the food down. Thank you for helping to deliver it. Otherwise, I really wouldn't be able to get it back."

Lin Ru put down the backpack, took out the things inside, thought for a while and put two more bags of White Rabbit milk candies in. They were having a hard time as a grandparent and grandchild, and she hoped that she could help them get through this difficult time.

The old lady looked at what Lin Ru took out. There were so many fine grains, malted milk, and even candies. With these, the old man and grandson could supplement their nutrition. She was very grateful.

Recently, the old man has trouble swallowing coarse grains. Now that he has fine grains, he makes noodles to eat in the evening.

With these food, the two of them can live a few more days and watch their grandson grow up.

"Old lady, I'll give you these first, and I'll give you more next time. If I give you too much at once, I'm afraid someone will miss it."

"Big sister, you can just call me Aunt Liu. These are enough. I will be very satisfied if you can exchange them with me. I won't let you lose out."

After hearing this, Lin Ru didn't say anything more. She helped move things into the kitchen and went out.

After coming out, she had mixed feelings. The description of this period in history books was very brief, and she felt deeply moved when she studied it.

But when you truly become a part of this era, the feelings are complex and the colors are mottled, and they cannot be described in a single way.

As a small person, I cannot drive the wheel of this era. There is little I can do, but also a lot I can do.

What to do when she is in a bad mood? Lin Ru decided to try diet therapy and headed to a state-owned restaurant.

Because it was dinner time, she didn’t want to share the table with others, so she decided to pack up the food and take it home to enjoy it alone and heal her wounded heart.

With food in her mind, she ran back to the village at a very fast speed, even breaking her usual best record. The power of a foodie should not be underestimated.

After a simple wash, I sat on the warm kang and ate the rosy braised pork and stir-fried seasonal vegetables, accompanied by fragrant firewood rice.

Lin Ru felt much better. When all the plates were empty, she burped in satisfaction and felt light and comfortable all over.

I got up too early in the morning, and I felt sleepy in the warm sun. I lay on the kang and took a nap, which was so comfortable.

Lin Ru was sleeping soundly. There was a loud knock on the door, which scared her so much that she turned over and sat up.

"Lin Ru, are you here? I came to chat with you."

Zhao Fang's voice came in along with the knock on the door.

"Yes, wait a minute and I'll open the door for you."

Lin Ru tidied her hair, put on her clothes, and went downstairs to open the door.

When he opened the door, Zhao Fang was looking at him with a gossipy expression on her face. Lin Ru knew that she had some gossip that she was eager to share.

The two entered the house. Zhao Fang looked at the tidy house with envy and thought to herself, when will I be able to have a room like this?

Lin Ru invited him to sit on the kang, took a bowl and poured boiled water into it and brought it to the table, and also took out some nuts so that he could eat them while listening to the gossip.

Zhao Fang felt a little embarrassed when she saw Lin Ru being so generous.

"You don't need to take these. I just came to sit with you for a while. It's nothing important."

Lin Ru knew that she was embarrassed and teased her on purpose.

"You are being too sentimental. I took it for myself. There is no share for you."

Zhao Fang's outstretched hand was visibly stuck on the nut, and she didn't know what to do.

Lin Ru put a handful of nuts directly into her palm and said with a smile: "I'm giving them to you. I'm just joking with you. I'm going to see if you can resist the temptation."

"Haha, I knew you weren't that stingy."

Zhao Fang knew Lin Ru's character, so she started eating without any hesitation.

After eating just a few, he lowered his body, tried to step over the table, came over mysteriously and said, "You know."

Lin Ru complained inwardly, here you go again, what do I know? I know, if I knew, why would I be sitting here listening to you?

He was just concentrating on eating nuts and ignored her at all.
