After watching Gu Chengzhou leave, Xue Xiaozhu rode his bicycle back home.

Fortunately, she now lives in a remote place, so no one saw her riding a bicycle.

It’s not that he was afraid of being seen, but mainly because Xue Xiaozhu didn’t want to explain too much.

"Sister, what are you doing?" Xue Xiaozhu put the bicycle into the house and saw her elder sister playing in the mud again.

Hearing her sister's voice, Xue Xiaotao finally let go of the worry that had been weighing on her mind.

After waking up from her sleep, she kept thinking that she should follow her sister into the city, which would be better.

"Sister, you're back. I hope nothing happened when you went to the city!" Xue Xiaotao stood up and rubbed the mud off her hands.

"I just wanted to grow some vegetables behind the house. I asked someone to buy some pepper and bean seedlings."

She couldn't stay idle when she was alone in the house. If she didn't find something to do, she always felt that she was wasting her time.

"I went to the supply and marketing cooperative today and bought some vegetable seeds. Let's plant them and see what they produce."

Xue Xiaozhu took out the vegetable seeds from the bucket. It was no wonder she said that, as the vegetable seeds nowadays were a bit confusing.

Even if the salesperson at the supply and marketing cooperative says that these are Chinese cabbage seeds, they may turn out to be eggplants.

The best way is to borrow vegetable seeds from people in the village. At least they have grown them and know what they are.

"Really, I'll plant them now. I've already prepared the soil." Xue Xiaotao was very happy when she saw that she had bought vegetable seeds.

Touching the buns in the bucket, which were still warm, Xue Xiaozhu asked her elder sister to wash her hands and continue growing vegetables together later.

"Sister, hurry up and come back inside after you finish washing." Xue Xiaozhu had a mysterious smile on her face. "There's something good here."

Xue Xiaotao, who was washing her hands, was very curious when she heard her sister's words: "I'm done washing, what good stuff is there?"

"Here, look what this is? It's a big meat bun from a state-owned restaurant. Doesn't it smell good?" Xue Xiaozhu took out the meat bun.

Smelling the aroma of the meat buns, Xue Xiaotao couldn't help swallowing her saliva: "It's really meat buns—"

She still doesn't quite believe it!

"What's wrong? Could it be fake?" Xue Xiaozhu laughed, put it to her mouth and asked her to take a bite.

Smelling the aroma of meat, Xue Xiaotao took a bite. As soon as she bit it, she felt the meat juice pop into her mouth.

This meat bun is not made of just lean meat, it also contains pork belly, which makes it taste even more delicious.

"Sister, this meat bun is so delicious! No wonder people say the buns in state-owned restaurants are so delicious!"

After Xue Xiaotao took a bite, she pushed it back and let her sister have a bite too.

"There are two buns here. This bun is for you." Xue Xiaotao shook her head and refused.

"There's one left for Mom to eat. Let's divide the rest. You eat first. I'll go find Mom."

She put the bucket in her hand into the house. This was something she had bought for several dollars.

During this period of time, Luo Xiufen should be washing clothes by the river. Sure enough, as she expected, she was indeed by the river.

"Mom, come here." Xue Xiaozhu waved to Luo Xiufen and asked her to come over to talk about something.

Luo Xiufen, who had just finished washing a basin of clothes, heard her little daughter's voice and quickly stood up: "What's going on?"

"Xiaozhu, you two sisters have eaten. Mom wanted to bring some food over, but she couldn't."

Her mother-in-law kept watching her while she worked, afraid that she didn't do enough. Whenever she stopped, she would scold her.

Xue Xiaozhu pulled her, found a corner, and took out the buns from her arms: "Mom, eat them quickly."

Seeing the meat buns, Luo Xiufen opened her mouth in shock: "Where did this come from?"

"I took the eels and loaches to the city and sold them. I used the money to buy meat buns, which my sister and I ate."

"This is for you, Mom. Eat it quickly, hurry up." Xue Xiaozhu urged.

"Don't even think about leaving half for Xue Jianzhi. I'll watch you eat the meat buns."

Luo Xiufen, who had just had this thought in her mind, smiled awkwardly and said, "No, I don't have this thought."

Xue Xiaozhu snorted in his heart. Seeing her guilty look, he knew that she had such thoughts.

"Eat it, eat it~!" Xue Xiaozhu pushed the meat bun to her mouth.

"Did Dad hit you? Don't be so honest. You are not the only one at home."

"If grandma asks you to work, don't do it. Be tough and don't let them think you are easy to bully."

She really wanted Luo Xiufen to come out of the old house, but some words were useless no matter how much she said.

Luo Xiufen herself was unwilling to do so, fearing this and that. Even if her own daughter told her, she wouldn't listen.

"Xiaozhu, your father didn't beat me--" Luo Xiufen ate the meat buns and felt the aroma of meat in her mouth.

"I didn't do much work. This morning I just washed two basins of clothes." This is less than usual.

Looking at the wooden basin by the river, Xue Xiaozhu sighed inwardly: "If they bully you, be sure to tell me."

"I understand. You and Xiaotao need to be good to each other." Luo Xiufen wiped her eyes and went back to the river to wash clothes.

Looking at her back, Xue Xiaozhu didn't stay any longer. After returning home, she saw that all the vegetable seeds had been sown.

"Sister, the work is done. Let's take advantage of today's rest and go to the mountain to collect some firewood."

"If we don't go today, we can pick up some and burn them when we get off work tomorrow. Let's go make some money." Xue Xiaozhu pushed out the bicycle.

When Xue Xiaotao saw the bicycle, her eyes widened. She had been working and hadn't noticed there was a bicycle at home.

"How come we have a bicycle at home?" Xue Xiaotao wanted to touch it, but she didn't dare to, because it was a precious thing.

Uncle Lishui is the only one in the village who has a bicycle. Everyone else treats their bicycles as tribute and is reluctant to ride them!

"I borrowed it, sister. Change your clothes and I'll take you out." Xue Xiaozhu urged with a smile.

Xue Xiaotao didn't know where her sister was going, but she was very excited when she heard that she could ride a bicycle.

After changing into clothes with fewer patches, the two sisters locked the inner room, and Xue Xiaozhu rode her bicycle and took her out of the village through a small path.

Although the path was bumpy, it did not affect Xue Xiaotao's mood. She hadn't felt like leaving the village for a long time.

It’s a bit like the feeling when I was a child and followed my parents into the city, very happy and excited.

"Sister, let's go to the village deep in the mountains to collect eggs." Xue Xiaozhu rode the bicycle hard and told where they were going.

Shenshan Village is far away from the Red Star Brigade because it is located in the mountains and there is only a small road there.

You can ride a bicycle in there, but I don't know how bumpy it will be.

"I know a way that can save time." Xue Xiaozhu didn't ask any more questions. She just listened to her sister.

"Which way, sister? You tell me." Xue Xiaozhu smiled when she heard there was a shortcut. It could save time again.

After riding for two hours, the two sisters finally arrived at the village deep in the mountains. There seemed to be only about thirty households in the village.

Xue Xiaozhu saw a group of women washing clothes by the river and immediately pushed his bicycle over to talk to them.
