Chapter 12 Secret subsidy.

Tian Sisi had already made up her mind. When she had the opportunity, she would secretly subsidize grain and oil for her family so that everyone in the family could eat. As for the meat, she had to find another way. The family only had two kilograms of meat supplied by Mr. Tian and Mrs. Zhao every month. In addition, there were also pig offal sent by her eldest son-in-law Liu Bogen from time to time. As the head chef of the township commune canteen, Liu Bogen had the means to buy pig offal.

Mrs. Zhao often mixes two kilograms of meat with green vegetables or chopped leeks, fills it and makes dumplings, and sends some to Tian Bajin's family. Although Tian Bajin is the village party secretary, his family has a rural registered permanent residence, and there is no food and meat supply. The meat can only be eaten at the end of the year when the New Year pigs are slaughtered. Mr. Tian has only one biological brother left. Mrs. Zhao does not need the old man to ask. Every time she makes dumplings, Tian Sisi will bring a bowl to him.

In the eyes of others, the life that seemed nourishing was a bit bitter in Tian Sisi's eyes. He could only eat meat three or four times a month, and the dishes he usually cooked were either steamed or boiled (to save fuel). No, he had to find a way to take out the supplies in the mall openly without making his family suspicious. He had to find a good reason. Tian Sisi frowned.

"Auntie, children don't like to frown! Who made you unhappy?" Mrs. Zhao went out to pour water. The water is collected from rice soup water, dishwashing water, etc. It can be mixed with pig grass and cooked to make pig food.

Tian Sisi quickly relaxed her brows and shook her head, "No, I'm just thinking about something!"

Mrs. Zhao smiled and said, "Children have so many things to think about. It's so weird!"

She poured the water and went to the vegetable field to pick a few green vegetables to fry for lunch. Women in rural areas had no rest all day long. They were busy from morning to night. Mrs. Zhao took over the housework at home and kept the house in order.

Zhu Aiqing is the women's captain of the village. In addition to working, she is busy with other things, so she doesn't interfere at home. Of course, she will definitely help Mrs. Zhao with the work as long as she is at home. Zhu Aiqing is also a capable person, with quick hands and feet.

Lunch was very simple, consisting of rice, leftover pork head from yesterday, stir-fried green vegetables, stir-fried shredded pork with winter bamboo shoots, a small plate of peanuts, and a pot of steamed sweet potatoes. Tian Sisi only ate a small bowl of rice, and the vegetables were only lightly touched with winter bamboo shoots and green vegetables, but she ate several pieces of sweet potatoes. Tian's sweet potatoes were yellow-hearted sweet potatoes, very noodles and sweet, so Tian Sisi ate three pieces in a row.

Mrs. Zhao looked at her in surprise, "Ana, don't you hate sweet potatoes the most? Why do you eat so many today?"

Tian Sisi's heart sank, "I don't know, I suddenly want to eat it. These sweet potatoes are delicious. I want to eat them at night."

"Some people's tastes change after they get seriously ill. That's probably the case for grandma. Eat whatever you want and ask your wife to steam it again at night, but don't eat too much, as it may cause heartburn." The old man took the initiative to explain to Tian Sisi.

Tian Sisi nodded. She gave the remaining rice in the bowl to her two brothers, said "I'm full!" and put the bowl away.

Zhu Aiqing looked at her barely touched rice bowl and said with a sullen face: "Ana, why do you only eat so much? Donghua and Tsinghua both eat more than you, how can you grow up if you don't eat more?"

"Mom, I just ate a lot of sweet potatoes. Look, my belly is bulging. If you don't believe me, just touch it." Tian Sisi held out her belly for Zhu Aiqing to touch. The cute look made Zhu Aiqing couldn't help but curl her lips, but then she straightened her face.

"Okay, grandma has always had a small appetite, so if you don't want to eat, just don't eat. I will cook some snacks for her when she gets hungry later." Mrs. Zhao was busy trying to smooth things over. In her opinion, it was normal for her granddaughter not to like to eat. She already had such a small stomach, so it would not be good for her to hold on.

"Mom!" Zhu Aiqing shouted helplessly. In her opinion, girls should not be too coquettish. People like Tian Sisi are naughty, lazy and don't like to work. What will they do when they grow up? But every time she wanted to take care of her daughter, someone at home would always hold her back.

"Ah, it's already 12 o'clock. We have to go to town. Grandma, hurry up and put on your hat and gloves. Let's go." Tian Manyin stood up and looked at the clock in Mr. Tian's room and shouted exaggeratedly.

Tian Sisi said "Hey" happily, then put the dishes in the kitchen, ran to the room to put on a hat, gloves, and a pair of red fur shoes. Tian Manyin also went to the room to change into clothes for going out, and put on a bag of Xinanjiang. Xinanjiang was a high-end cigarette at that time, costing 0. 28 yuan a pack. He couldn't bear to smoke it. He smoked Lion, which cost nine cents a pack. Good cigarettes were given to others.

Zhu Aiqing was so angry that she stared at her. Tian Sisi hurriedly ran to her and said flatteringly: "Mom, I will buy you facial oil (moisturizer) later, so that you can put it on and it will smell good."

"You are such a weirdo! Mom doesn't need you to buy it, so where do you, a little kid, get the money?" Zhu Aiqing was softened by her daughter's sweet smile, and she tapped Tian Sisi's forehead heavily.

Tian Sisi made a face at the old man and Mrs. Zhao, indicating that the alarm had been lifted. At this time, Tian Manyin pushed out his favorite car-Shanghai Forever bicycle from the next room. This car was bought five years ago with Tian Aiguo's bicycle ticket for 180 yuan. At that time, people in Yuequan Village came to see the new cars every day.

Tian Manyin attaches great importance to this car. He doesn't ride it when it rains or snows. If the road conditions are bad, he would rather get off the car and push it. After every ride, he has to carefully clean and oil the car. Therefore, although the car has been ridden for five years, it is still as shiny as new.

Donghua and Qinghua looked at Tian Manyin and Tian Sisi eagerly, with longing eyes. However, they were frightened by Tian Manyin's lust and did not dare to make requests. Tian Sisi couldn't bear it, so she said to Tian Manyin, "Dad, how about we take our younger brother with us?"

The two Donghua brothers' eyes lit up and they looked at Tian Manyin pleadingly. Tian Manyin didn't want to take him with him. Why would he take him with him? He might as well stay at home and do some work! Although Donghua and Qinghua are 8 and 6 years old, basically the firewood at home is collected by these two brothers, who are half of the family's labor force.

Zhu Aiqing felt sorry for her son, so she said: "Take one of them with you, and take all three of them with you. It's rare for you to go to town, so just take all three of them with you!"

When his wife spoke, Tian Manyin had no choice but to nod. The two little guys jumped up with joy. They ran back to the room, put on their hats and gloves, and came out fully dressed. The old man waved to Tian Sisi with a smile. Tian Sisi trotted over in a hurry. The old man took out two yuan from his body and handed it to his granddaughter.

Tian Sisi hurriedly returned the money to the old man and whispered: "Grandpa, I still have money. The New Year's money you gave me hasn't been used up yet!"

The old man's salary was kept by Mrs. Zhao. This must be his private money. She couldn't take it. The old man became sullen and insisted on letting her take it. Tian Sisi had to accept it, but she made up her mind not to spend the money carelessly. In the past, The original owner also handled a lot of money. In addition to the fact that the old man often gave his granddaughter a few cents to buy snacks, the New Year's money alone amounted to more than ten yuan. This is not a small amount. You must know that the monthly salary of current university undergraduates is only more than forty yuan.

It's just that the original owner was really stupid and didn't save a penny. In addition to spending some money on his own, he was also cheated a lot by Zhong Yuying. Moreover, the original owner had no conscience and would never buy anything for his family. He was kinder to outsiders. Tian Sisi was really speechless to the original owner.

"Grandpa, when I can make money, I will let you drink and eat enough meat!" Tian Sisi promised the old man very seriously.

The old man was stunned for a moment, then he laughed, his lips reaching up to his ears, "Okay, grandpa is waiting for the day when grandma makes a lot of money."

In the heart of the old man, he thinks this is a child's talk. He is 65 this year. Although his body is still strong, it is getting weaker every day. When grandma grows up, he doesn't know if his old bones will still be there? But with his granddaughter's words, he was very satisfied, and the pain was not in vain!
