You can take this opportunity to buy some sugarcane.

"Is there really sugarcane at uncle's place?"

Zhao Jianping knew that Nini had not yet visited her grandmother.

"This is true. If you don't believe me, you can ask Mom. If you want to eat, my eldest brother will go there this afternoon."

sugar cane?

"Eat, big brother, go buy me a bunch and I'll pay for it."

"I can't ask you for money just to buy some sugarcane. Just wait." Zhao Jianping left.

After his sister recovered, Zhao Jianping felt that he could no longer help her.

Zhao Yunshu: It’s a bundle, and each one costs several dollars.

"What's the matter?"

Zhao Yunshu looked at Huo Shaobei and said, "Brother, go to my uncle's place and buy me some sugarcane."

sugar cane?

"I haven't been to my uncle's place yet?"

It's all true.

This is how it is in the countryside. People usually visit relatives when they have something important to do, but they don’t get to know each other much on other days. After all, people in the countryside have to go to the fields to earn work points every day.

It's only this winter that I have some free time because there is nothing to do.

"On the second day of the Lunar New Year, I went to my uncle's house with my mom and the others to get to know the family."

In fact, he had wanted to ask before.

Is it because of your bad relationship that you didn’t go to your uncle’s place?

"That's totally fine."

Zhao Yunshu thought for a moment and said, "I rarely visit my grandma's house. I don't know the specific reason."

Preferring boys over girls?

Or is it because her mother and grandmother don’t have a very good relationship that’s why they don’t visit each other that often?

Zhao Yunshu didn't know this either.

Anyway, she did not inherit the original owner's memory.

"Ask grandma."

"I'll go ask."

Zhao Yunshu went directly to Grandma Zhao and Grandpa Zhao's room.

The frames are ready and mounted.

"Grandma, my mom doesn't have a good relationship with my grandma?"

Grandma Zhao was stunned. She didn't expect that her granddaughter would ask about this.

"We have an average relationship, we keep in touch, but we live a little far away. What's the matter? Why are you asking about this?"

"I heard from my third brother that grandma and her team planted sugarcane."

sugar cane?

"Your grandma's team planted a lot of sugarcane. In the past, your mother would bring back a lot of sugarcane when she went back to her parents' home. You brothers all loved to eat it."

"Why didn't my uncle and his family come to my wedding?"

It seems that after the granddaughter recovered, the daughter-in-law's family really didn't come.

"Your wedding was rushed, and your grandmother's house was quite far away, taking more than two hours to walk there."

More than two hours?

Isn’t that about ten kilometers away?

"Brother said it's not far, so he went to buy me some sugarcane."

Buy sugarcane?

"There's so much preference for boys over girls these days. Your grandma was like that."

Grandma Zhao patted the back of her granddaughter's hand and said, "You, my grandmother, went through this the same way."

Huo Shaobei, who was in another room, occasionally glanced at the time on his watch. Why didn't Nini come back for such a long time after going to the nurse's room?

"Xiaobei..."

"asked?"

Zhao Yunshu sat down and drank some boiled water. "My grandma favors boys over girls, and she doesn't have a very good relationship with my mom. We've only been together during the holidays."

Just maintain a superficial relationship.

They were also afraid that it would affect the marriages of their brothers and sisters.

Huo Shaobei has been in the countryside for half a year now, and he also knows that boys are favored over girls. Boys in the family go to school, while girls go to the fields to earn work points and do housework.

"I'll read for a while and wait for my eldest brother to come back."

Grandma Zhao gave birth to seven children, but only raised four of them.

The eldest uncle, the second uncle, the eldest aunt, and Zhao's mother and four siblings.

Zhao Jianping rode his bicycle to his uncle's house. After the family split up, Grandma Zhao lived with Uncle Zhao in her old age.

"Jianping is here?" Aunt Zhao greeted her promising nephew warmly when she saw him.

Zhao Jianping parked his bicycle and handed a large bag to his aunt. "Aunt, this is a specialty that Nini brought back from Beijing. My mother asked me to bring it here for you to try."

Specialties of Beijing?

That’s Beijing.

Big city places.

"Jianping..." An elderly, thin, white-haired lady shouted when she saw Zhao Jianping.

"Grandma..."

Aunt Zhao's face was full of smiles.

"Uncle..."

"Grandma, aunt, do you still have sugarcane? Chinese New Year is almost here, and I want to buy some."

"We have it at home."

"I buy a lot, so I go to the brigade to buy it."

Aunt Zhao had no objection and asked her eldest grandson to take Zhao Jianping to the brigade headquarters to buy sugarcane.

Not many people come here specifically to buy sugarcane.

"Mom, look..." Aunt Zhao was happy that her sister-in-law had married well, her sons were all workers, and now her silly niece was also well.

And she married an educated youth.

Now he even followed the other party to Beijing.

The seafood includes kelp, dried shrimp, White Rabbit milk candy, and a bag of cakes.

They can't buy any of these things.

There are no pastry tickets or sugar tickets.

"Mom, this cake must be specially made for you by your sister-in-law."

"You haven't met Nini's boyfriend yet?"

Aunt Zhao once advised her sister-in-law to give up on her niece.

It’s hard to find a daughter-in-law if you have a stupid daughter at home.

But now this niece is not only well, but also has found a boyfriend among the educated youth.

"I should be back on the second day of the Lunar New Year."

Grandma Zhao is getting old and her health is getting worse.

Zhao Jianping went to the brigade headquarters and bought a bundle of fresh ones, which had just been cut down.

"Jianping, I heard your commune has harvesters and water pumps?"

Their brigade planted a lot of sugarcane, but also had paddy fields.

It's a bit far from the river.

"Yes, Captain. If you want to buy a harvester and a water pump, you can go to your commune secretary and apply for a harvester and a water pump from the machinery factory."

"Jianping, your uncle is not a cadre in the city's machinery factory. Can you ask him for help?"

They are not from the same commune, but they are not far from each other.

"Uncle, you apply first. When my uncle comes back, I'll tell him that this is for the purpose of increasing production. My uncle will definitely support it."

The captain was very excited when he heard what Zhao Jianping said.

No one wants the money from sugarcane anymore.

Rejected by Zhao Jianping.

"Uncle, I'll go back first. It gets dark early today."

"No uncle will send you off."

The harvester is not needed, but the water pump can be purchased.

When Zhao Jianping came back with the sugarcane, he called Zhao Yunshu out to take a look.

"Nini, sugar cane, sugar cane..."

Zhao Yunshu walked out of the room and saw a bundle of sugarcane in the yard.

"Just cut it?"

Zhao Jianping nodded, "Just chopped it off."

This sugarcane is red-skinned sugarcane.

Although it doesn’t look as good as modern sugarcane, having sugarcane to eat is a happy thing these days.

"Dad, I want to eat it too." Xiao Zhuang also saw the sugarcane. Seeing that his aunt wanted to eat it, he immediately started to make a fuss about wanting to eat it too.

"Eat it all, there's so much."

And the price is not expensive.

He couldn't afford expensive things, but the sugarcane was cheap, so he could still afford it.

Many of the local specialties that Nini bought ended up in the mouths of his sons.
