"Brother, calm down. He's been taken away by the police. He'll be shot at soon."

Hearing this, Gao Xiaobin was stunned at first, then cursed, "How dare you, a bastard, kill your own nephew for money? You should have died long ago!"

"Okay, it's not worth getting angry over someone who's about to be shot."

The Gao brothers and sisters returned to the courtyard.

Gao Xiaoshan went to the kitchen to cook, and 7-year-old Gao Xiaolan stood at the door feeling unfamiliar and didn't dare to go in.

"Little sister, why don't you say hello to your second brother when you see him?" Gao Xiaobin said unhappily.

"Second... Second brother!" Gao Xiaolan called out timidly, then hid behind Gao Xiaobin, revealing her eyes and secretly looking at Gao Xiaoguang.

The brother and sister were strangers to each other because Gao Xiaoguang had been living in the school dormitory since junior high school, and Gao Xiaolan was still young at that time.

In order to graduate early after being admitted to technical secondary school, he never went home during holidays, and the two siblings rarely saw each other.

"Little sister, look what's in second brother's hand?" Gao Xiaoguang took out the White Rabbit milk candy and handed it to the little sister.

"Thank you...thank you, second brother." Gao Xiaolan, who had two pigtails, opened the package, licked the candy wrapper, and her eyes narrowed into a line with happiness. Then, after hesitating for a moment, she bit the candy in half with her teeth and handed it to Gao Xiaobin.

"Brother, the milk candy is delicious. This one is for you, and the other half is for me." Children from poor families have to grow up early. When they were in the countryside, the sisters Gao Xiaoshan and Gao Xiaolan had never had a full meal, let alone candy.

Their hair was like dry grass.

It took me half a year to raise this dog in the city.

However, the two sisters cherish their current lives more. The 7-year-old Gao Xiaolan is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.

"Little sister, second brother has some White Rabbit candies here. You can share them with your sister." Gao Xiaoguang took out the remaining ten or so candies from the space and handed them over.

"Thank you, second brother." Seven-year-old Gao Xiaolan took the White Rabbit milk candy and did not think of hiding it.

Instead, the milk candy is divided according to the number of people in the family.

At this time, Liu Cuilan dragged her tired body into the room.

He picked up the enamel cup on the table, and took a few sips without caring whose cup it was, and finally did not forget to wipe his mouth with his hand.

"Mom! Where is my dad?" Gao Xiaoshan brought the food and placed it on the table.

"I'm guarding your grandfather in the hospital. Let's eat first. The boss will bring food to your father later."

"Um"

The food was very ordinary, with three dishes: boiled cabbage, shredded potatoes, and cold eggplant, and cornmeal steamed bread.

Seeing that his family was enjoying the meal, Gao Xiaoguang endured the pain in his throat and forced himself to finish the steamed bun. The food he ate at the factory was expert food, with plenty of white flour buns and meat and vegetables for every ton.

But the family still has to eat coarse food.

Gao Xiaoguang secretly thought that he should slowly take out the supplies in the space at this moment to improve his family's meals.

After dinner, Gao Xiaobin carried the lunch box to deliver the meal while his second sister went to work the night shift.

night.

The moon is dark and the stars are sparse.

The door of the back house was gently pushed open. Gao Xiaoguang tiptoed to the wall of the backyard, set up the ladder, put the ladder back into the space, and climbed over the wall to the black market.

The largest black market in Dongcheng District is located in an abandoned brick kiln.

The disguised Gao Xiaoguang paid a dime and walked into the black market carrying a lantern. The items sold in the black market were arranged according to the area.

Whether buying or selling, employers spoke in low voices according to the rules of the black market.

Gao Xiaoguang walked around with a cloth bag, but he didn't find any old man selling jade.

"Brother, you've been shopping for a long time, but you don't see anything you want to buy?" The black market managers stopped Gao Xiaoguang. They were afraid that Gao Xiaoguang was a government spy.

"Today is really weird. I didn't meet anyone who wants to sell jade." Gao Xiaoguang complained in a hoarse voice.

"Brother, you're lucky today. I have quite a bit of jade. How much money have you prepared?"

"Exchange it with milk powder and pork." Gao Xiaoguang opened the cloth bag.

The black market manager's eyes narrowed when he saw at least 30 bags of milk powder wrapped in brown paper and about ten pounds of fatty meat in his pocket.

Milk powder and pork are both in short supply, especially milk powder, which is not available in state-owned stores and supply and marketing cooperatives.
