Chapter 113: The Wu Mother and Daughter

Li Xinyue didn’t care about other people’s attitudes.

After all, she wasn’t a piece of money, so she couldn’t be liked by everyone.

The popsicles were wrapped in beige semi-transparent oiled paper, with a red ear of rice printed on it.

The popsicles were one inch wide and three inches long, semi-transparent, completely incomparable to the things of later generations.

Taking the popsicle, Li Xinyue peeled one for her son first: “Yier, eat it.”

Chen Yiheng’s eyes had not moved away from the wooden box since it was opened.

When the popsicle was handed to him, his eyes were brighter than the stars in the sky.

Taking the popsicle, Chen Yiheng raised it: “Mom, you have a bite.”

This child, he really has a conscience.

Clearly, he was eager to eat it.

Li Xinyue was very comforted: “Good, you’re not just a little white-eyed wolf!”

Education can change people, but people’s nature is still very important.

People who are born with a conscience will be conscientious people in the future.

Things that are not innate, sometimes when influenced by the environment, it is difficult to guarantee.

Such a conscientious son made Li Xinyue very happy. She smiled and refused.

“You eat, I have some here. I’ll go pay, you wait here.”

“Okay, Mom.”

After paying, the mother and son walked back.

Along the way, there were sounds of the little guy’s exclamations: “Mom, this popsicle is so delicious!”

“Mom, I’ll buy you popsicles too in the future.”

Li Xinyue felt a little happy, but more heartache.

It’s just a popsicle, but the little guy has eaten it like it was dragon meat!

What haven’t the children of later generations eaten?

The 00s and 01s, they not only have food, but they also pick and choose what they eat!

Such a good child, they are really rare in later generations!

“Study hard, and when you grow up, you’ll have everything you want to eat.”

“Okay!”

In this era where food is scarce, the temptation of food is the greatest!

Chen Yiheng nodded very seriously.

There was another person working at home, so the mother and son walked quickly.

But when they went back to deliver the popsicles, they found that they couldn’t give it to Chen Mingchuan…

“Sister-in-law!”

“Sister-in-law!”

“Sister-in-law!”

…

Seven or eight young soldiers were sweating profusely as they helped with the work. As soon as Liu Qiang spoke, everyone immediately followed suit.

Li Xinyue’s face was full of crows…

So, the call just now was to call for reinforcements?

“Sorry, you’ve all worked hard.”

Liu Qiang laughed: “No hardship, no hardship, this is what we should do!”

“Sister-in-law, don’t be so polite!”

Where in the world are there so many things that are “should be done”?

Unity and mutual assistance, it is only in the army that it can truly be reflected!

Soldiers!

This is what soldiers are!

They have dedicated themselves, and they are still so matter-of-fact!

They really deserve to be the most lovable people!

At this moment, Li Xinyue’s heart was a little surging. In the past, she had rarely seen such a scene.

She was especially envious of those who had spaces in their transmigration.

If she also had a space filled with billions of supplies, she would definitely get some good things out to thank them.

Iced tea, popsicles, iced coffee, etc.

Ice…

Thinking of this word, Li Xinyue had a sudden inspiration. She told Chen Yiheng to play on the side, then quickly went into the house, took a water bucket and a few wet towels, and quickly went out.

Soon, she came back.

“Sister-in-law, this… Battalion Commander…”

Liu Qiang was a little at a loss when he saw the popsicles Li Xinyue had brought.

They were just doing a little work, and their sister-in-law even bought them popsicles to eat, this was too kind!

Chen Mingchuan didn’t even look up: “Eat it, your sister-in-law gave it to you, just eat it.”

As a soldier, they only get six yuan a month in allowance.

Soap, toothpaste, laundry detergent, envelopes and stationery were not issued by the army, they had to be bought themselves.

Some soldiers would save two yuan to use when they went home to visit their families.

Therefore, eating popsicles was a luxury for these young soldiers…

That day, Li Xinyue didn’t expect that a popsicle each would win over a group of people.

After eating the popsicles, the soldiers were even more energetic.

In less than an hour, everything was wiped clean and drying in the sun.

When they were all done, they all rushed out of the backyard with a bang, and started making a racket.

“What are they doing?”

“Building a rain shelter, so it’s easier to dry clothes when it rains.”

How thoughtful!

Li Xinyue herself didn’t realize that she was increasingly admiring Chen Mingchuan!

By the time everything that could be placed in the house was in place, it was already evening.

Li Xinyue was about to prepare dinner when Aunt Wu came.

“Xiao Chen, are you unhappy with the food at home? Why don’t you come over and have a seat?”

“Auntie, you heard from Weiguo, right? You’ve always been so concerned about him, helping him.”

“Auntie really thanks you. I’ve already prepared the food, why don’t you bring the kids over and have a seat?”

This Auntie… Li Xinyue twitched her lips: she didn’t know how to describe it!

Chen Mingchuan, as always, had no expression: “Auntie, Weiguo’s rations are still at the camp, there’s only his wife’s rations at home.”

“It’s barely enough to fill their stomachs, and now you’re here, and I haven’t seen you bring any rations.”

“You’re inviting us to eat, have you considered if there will be enough to eat later?”

“Also, Weiguo’s wife is about to give birth, you, as the mother-in-law, should at least prepare some chicken or eggs, right?”

“She’s going to be confinement soon, women need to replenish their bodies after giving birth.”

“I heard Weiguo say, sister-in-law has two in her belly!”

 Aunt Wu: “…”

This guy is so nosy, I wasn’t trying to flatter you, why would I invite you to eat?

What rural woman has both chicken and eggs when she gives birth? A rich young lady!

” … That… that…”

“Xiao Chen, we… we…”

“Sigh, our village is poor, raising chickens wastes grain, so we don’t raise them…”

“Weiguo’s two children are eating at home, there’s really not enough to eat.”

“You know, half-grown children, they eat their father to death.”

“Weiguo only sends 15 yuan a month, it’s really not enough for them brothers to eat!”

Not poor, but lazy, right?

What grain would a farmer’s chicken waste?

They are usually free-range, only when the chickens are young do they need to dig up some earthworms to feed them, so they grow faster.

As for the two children, Chen Mingchuan didn’t know what to say.

Fifteen yuan a month, they wouldn’t have to worry about oil and salt in the countryside.

The grain was allocated by the production team, after being a soldier, the team wouldn’t count work points, they would directly allocate grain.

This mother, she keeps crying poor, doesn’t she think about what kind of life her son is living?

There’s no point in saying more.

Chen Mingchuan wasn’t the kind of person who liked to talk too much.

“Auntie, we won’t go for dinner, the leftovers can be put in the water tank, we can eat them tomorrow morning.”

“Okay, okay!”

Aunt Wu responded awkwardly, then turned around.

Wu Xiaohe, who couldn’t even get a word in behind her, immediately followed…

“Mom, you didn’t even cook, why did you say you did?”

“What if they agreed to go, wouldn’t you be exposed?”

Aunt Wu smiled and looked at her daughter, whispering: “You don’t understand.”

“Whether they eat or not is one thing, whether you invite them or not is another.”

“I knew they wouldn’t come, I came over to invite them, it’s to show our sincerity. Understand?”
