Liu Caixia chatted with Old Man Zhang for a while and learned a lot of information.

If you want to know more about a place, you have to ask the locals.

"Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang, thank you for your care. When our family settles down, we will definitely invite you to visit our home."

The whole family was already dressed, and both adults and children were standing stiffly in the main room, not knowing what to do.

Liu Caixia also knew it was time to leave.

"We'll leave first and go into the city early today to take a look."

"That's good. Our place is in a good location. If you want to go to the county town, come over to our house and stay if you have time."

"Thank you, Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang!"

Liu Caixia placed a string of copper coins in the room where she slept. It was not convenient to take out the things stored in their space for the time being, so paying money was the most convenient way.

At the family's polite request, Liu Caixia took Tian Zhaodi and Liu Xiaolu out of the house.

"Well...socializing is really a physical job!"

Liu Xiaolu smiled secretly: "Mom, I see you are smiling very happily!"

"Hahaha, you can only smile. And if your smile is too fake, it would be so embarrassing if others see it. Besides, I am thanking them from the bottom of my heart. You should also learn more and don't act recklessly like before." Liu Caixia looked at Tian Zhaodi and wanted to say something, but held back.

She was really worried. What should she do when her daughter got married? It would be a death sentence if she got married at the age of fifteen or sixteen.

"Mom, don't worry, I'm learning!"

"Forget it, forget it. I'll teach you slowly later."

Liu Xiaolu held Liu Caixia's arm and leaned forward intimately.

Tian Zhaodi was walking behind. It was the first time she saw a mother and daughter being so close.

But it feels pretty good. Although she has only followed her for a few days, Tian Zhaodi feels a different atmosphere.

After Liu Caixia arrived at the door of the family in front, she did not go in. Instead, she stood outside and looked inside. She saw her father standing a little inside the door, talking to an old man.

"Dad, we can go now."

When Father Liu heard the voice, he saw the people outside the fence and replied, "Okay, we'll leave right away."

"Old Chen, we'll leave first then."

"Brother Liu, the porridge will be ready soon. There are also steamed buns. Eat them before you leave. Let them all come in."

"No, you guys can eat by yourselves. We'll go into the city and have something to eat. Business is more important. We need to find a place to stay and settle down tonight. We still have a lot of things to do, and the New Year is coming soon. We also want to have a peaceful year. Come visit me again when you have the chance."

After saying this, Mr. Liu ignored Lao Chen's attempt to stop him and walked straight out the door.

Lao Chen's son also came out from the kitchen to persuade him to stay: "Uncle Liu, the meal will be ready soon. Although this is not fine food, it is enough for so many people."

Father Liu waved his hand and said, "Old Chen, let's go."

There was no other way. Seeing that he could not keep the two people, Old Chen hurried in and wrapped the steamed buns and pancakes that Liu's father had brought with the oil paper. When he ran out, the people had already gone far away.

"Dad, forget it. The person has already left. It's not a good idea to chase after him."

"We took advantage of this, and we will pay it back when we have the chance."

"Well, our family is in a difficult situation now, but it will get better in the future. I remember all the help others have given us. I feel that my health is getting better and better. When the weather gets warmer next year, I will go to the county town to find a job. At least I have two years of education. It shouldn't be difficult to find a job."

"I know, I just think Brother Liu and the others are too polite. Let's go to Old Zhang's house. He must have recommended him to our house yesterday, so I thought I could help him out a little."

"it is good."

Old Chen took the wrapped steamed buns and pancakes and went straight to Old Man Zhang's house.

The two sons of Old Man Zhang have already gone out, and the women in the family are either feeding chickens in the backyard or tidying up the yard.

After the children got up, the older ones followed the adults to do some housework, while the younger ones played in the yard.

Old man Zhang was sorting out the bamboos he had cut in the yard. Every household could make some bamboo products, such as winnowing baskets, dustpans, backpacks, baskets, bamboo chairs, bamboo stools and so on.

You can use it at home or sell it in the city.

"Old Zhang!"

"Old Chen is here. Have they all left?"

"Let's go. Did you let them stay at our house last night? Thank you so much. Come and see, this family is really nice. They gave us some steamed buns before they left. I steamed them and let them eat them before they left. They left without stopping for a moment."

"What are you going to do with it?"

"Look at what you said, you must be eating it. You are not bringing it here as a decoration. Children, come to Grandpa Chen. Grandpa Chen will share the cakes with you."

One child was about seven or eight years old, and two children were about four or five years old. When they heard the sound, they stood next to Old Man Zhang and looked at him eagerly.

Neither crying nor asking for it actively.

The teaching is pretty good.

Lao Chen took out a pancake and handed it to the oldest boy: "Big boy, give some to your brothers and sisters."

The eldest boy looked at his grandfather and when he saw him nod, he took it and said, "Thank you, Grandpa Chen!" Then he happily went to the side to share the cake with his younger brothers and sisters.

"You're welcome."

After Old Chen took out a pancake, he gave the rest to Old Man Zhang: "Give some to your family members."

Old man Zhang took it without hesitation: "Old woman, please share it with the family members and leave some for the eldest and second sons."

Old Lady Zhang took the oil-paper bag, took out a steamed bun and handed it to her: "You can eat this. I'll take care of the rest."

Old man Zhang took a steamed bun.

On the other side, Lao Chen also divided the pancake into two, handed one half to his son, and ate the other half himself.

"This family is nice. They gave us more than ten copper coins when we left."

Old Chen looked at his son, who shook his head to indicate that he didn't know: "I'm content."

Looking at Old Chen's expression, Old Man Zhang guessed that he didn't give it to him in person, so he said, "Go back and take a look at where they sleep. I think they should have left some for you as well."

Old Chen looked at his son and said, "Go back and take a look."

Chen Xinzhu swallowed the last bite of the biscuit and said, "Okay."

Left the hospital and went home.

Sure enough, before the two old men had even finished talking, Chen Xinzhu came running back, panting and saying, "They left a string of copper coins on the bed, about twenty of them."

"Why are you in such a hurry to run? The person has left anyway, so just keep it."

"Old Chen, although the drought in the past two years has not affected us as much as the northwest, life is still difficult. I hope next year will be better."

"Yes, Hsinchu is getting older and older, and it will be even harder to get married in a few years."

"I believe Hsinchu will get better and better in the future. It's a pity that my two daughters are too young, otherwise I would definitely become your in-laws."

"Hahaha, Lao Zhang, your words are enough. Please stop yelling at my two little nieces."

"Okay, okay, let's get back to work."

"Go ahead. I'll also go and fix up the chicken coop at the back. I plan to build another one next year and a pig pen. I can raise two pigs there and earn some money a year. I'll try to pay off my debts next year."

"Of course, as long as there is no drought, there is plenty of grass for pigs in the mountains, so we can definitely raise pigs. This year, our pig has grown to 100 kilograms by eating one meal and starving the next."

Old Chen walked back with his son, with his hands behind his back and a hunched back, but he walked briskly towards home.
