After dinner, the family returned home.

Wang Qiuju complained, "Look, originally Bengong said that you could teach alone and earn 8 work points in just a short time at night. But you didn't do it, and now Gousheng has taken half of it!"

Yang Xiaole didn't pay much attention to it. It was acceptable to have someone share the workload.

He had to go to class every night, and he couldn't stand it. If he wanted to find an excuse to go out, it wouldn't be easy. A group of grandpas and grandmas would ask about his situation, just like interrogating a criminal.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Wang Qiuju thought of something. "Right, Xiaole, when you teach everyone in the future, take care of your parents too!"

When it came to literacy, she also had a headache.

She had done it twice before, and each time was a headache.

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole pretended to be serious and said, "Mom, your thinking is wrong. You should work harder. What if they ask, 'Xiaole, you can't even teach your own parents, let alone others!' What should I say? Besides, if someone from the commune comes to inspect and finds out, won't we be exposed?"

Wang Qiuju clicked her tongue and shook her head.

A headache again.

Yang Guangzhi lit a mosquito coil under the Eight Immortals table with a kerosene lamp.

The smell of smoke immediately filled the room.

Yang Xiaole thought about how his parents would go to the coal mine to haul coal tomorrow, so he casually asked, "Dad, how long will you be gone?"

Yang Guangzhi put the dried tobacco on the kerosene lamp and lit it, took a puff, and then said, "The team leader said that they should complete the goal by the end of the solar calendar, so they should be back around New Year's Day!"

After speaking, he glanced at Wang Qiuju, who was packing clothes inside.

He casually shouted, "Find some old clothes. They will get dirty with coal ash. Don't ruin the clothes."

"I know, just wear the clothes you used to beg for food. Is that okay?"

Wang Qiuju's joking voice came from inside.

Yang Guangzhi ignored her.

Now that there was time and no outsiders around, Yang Xiaole casually asked, "Dad, when will Big Brother go to work in the city?"

Yang Guangzhi paused when he heard this and looked outside.

He frowned and said, "Did you guess it?"

"Do I need to guess? Just think about it, and you'll figure it out!"

Yang Guangzhi pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "Your uncle said that there are many factories and units in the city that need to expand production. They will probably recruit a lot of people. He asked me to get a certificate from the team, and when the notice comes, he will send a telegram to me."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole pondered for a moment. "Didn't they used to directly allocate quotas to the village? Can Big Brother go like this?"

"I'm not sure."

"Which factory is it? Is it the textile factory?"

"I don't know!"

Yang Xiaole didn't understand what Uncle was up to when his dad didn't know anything.

As long as it didn't violate principles, it could still get his brother a job.

Yang Guangzhi smoked and felt that the room was too stuffy. He shouted at his eldest son, "Bring out the bamboo bed and let's cool off outside."

"Oh!"

The eldest son agreed and stood up, went to the inner room, and put the bamboo bed leaning against the wall.

Yang Guangzhi followed him and lifted it together.

It was a bamboo bed.

Wang Qiuju was packing things and hurriedly got up when she saw the two of them carrying the bed. She picked up a towel, dipped it in water, wrung it dry, and followed them outside.

After wiping the bamboo bed clean, she came back to continue organizing the clothes.

Yang Xiaole and the others took the rush woven fans and rushed onto the bamboo bed.

There were too many people, so only the two little kids lay there.

Yang Xiaole didn't plan to sleep!

This thing was uncomfortable.

The fans of several people didn't stop, swatting at the mosquitoes flying in the air.

Yang Guangzhi chatted with his eldest son.

Yang Xiaole was thinking about how to bring the whole family to the city because the city didn't recruit people with families.

It was a troublesome matter.

It seemed that he had to find someone in logistics to bring them over. It was too dangerous with Uncle.

In his thoughts, Yang Guangzhi suddenly asked, "Didn't you say you have something? When are you going to get it?"

"Dad, if you're not afraid of attracting people now, I'll go get it now! They should have delivered it by now."

After hearing this, Yang Guangzhi thought about it and decided against it.

Wang Qiuju finished packing the clothes and came to the main hall. She shouted outside the courtyard, "When are you going to take a bath?"

Yang Guangzhi waved the fan and turned his head to look. "Wait a bit, wash when it's cooler."

After hearing this, Wang Qiuju blew out the kerosene lamp and followed them out of the courtyard.

She sat down and tidied her sweaty hair, fanning herself and the two little kids.

While fanning, she said to her eldest daughter, "Xiaomei, remember to study well when you go to school. Don't learn bad things from the people in the city, understand?"

"I know, Mom!"

Yang Xiaomei naturally agreed.

Yang Xiaole estimated the time and felt that it would be better to leave early and return the fishing net.

"Dad, I'll go out for a bit and see if they've arrived. You guys keep the bowls and chopsticks in our room."

Yang Guangzhi didn't think too much. They were near the village, and there were people patrolling at night. There shouldn't be any problems.

But he still reminded, "Don't leave the village. If they don't come, come back in a while. There are a lot of mosquitoes outside."

"I know!"

Yang Xiaole agreed and got off the bed, put on his straw shoes, and went out.

But he reminded them, "Don't come looking for me! It won't look good if someone sees you."

Then he left the courtyard directly.

He strolled back to the team committee from behind the house.

When he arrived, the lights inside were still on. Yang Qingwen and the accountant, Yang Qingshan, should be inside.Quietly sneaking into the storage room, Yang Xiaole secretly put the fishing net inside.

Then he quietly came out.

Returning to his own vicinity, he quietly entered the space.

Turning on the lamp, the room became bright again.

He heated the fish with fire, placed it aside, feeling that it was too hot and put it on top of the water tank to cool down a bit.

The main concern was that if it wasn't heated thoroughly, it would cause diarrhea.

Although the space was dark, he knew the situation inside like the back of his hand.

Thinking that Big Sister would go to the district to attend middle school, it was impossible for her to sleep on the heated bed, so she would need a cotton quilt.

There were only two thick quilts in the house, the rest were thin quilts. It was fine if they were heated on the heated bed, but if they slept on a wooden bed, they would freeze in the middle of the night.

He still needed to get some cotton out.

After waiting for a while, he felt it was almost done, so he took the enamel basin from the water tank and came out of the space.

He secretly looked around.

Seeing no one, he quickly opened the courtyard gate and went straight to the main hall.

At this time, several people who were cooling off had already returned.

He came to the main hall and shouted to Yang Xiaogang, who had just finished bathing, "Big Brother, quickly! Lock the gate of the courtyard. Don't let anyone in. Be quiet."

He entered the inner room while holding the basin.

Big Brother saw Yang Xiaole holding such a large basin of food and his mouth started watering.

He hurriedly ran over.

Just as Yang Xiaole entered the room, he whispered to Xi Zi in surprise, "Shut up, if you call someone, I won't give you food anymore."

Upon hearing this, Xi Zi quickly shut his mouth.

Hearing the movement, Yang Guangzhi and several others also came out of the room and entered the opposite room.

When they saw what was inside the room, they were all shocked.

Wang Qiuju lowered her voice and asked, "Oh my god, you little brat, tell me honestly, how much stuff did you take to sell? You're wasting money."

But she still swallowed her saliva when she smelled the aroma.

Yang Xiaole hurriedly said, "Alright, if you don't want to eat, I'll eat it myself. I'll explain it to you tomorrow, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Guangzhi smiled and went back to his own room.

When he came back, he was already carrying a bottle of saltwater.

There was a window by the heated bed, but he didn't put it there. Instead, he came to the corner of the wall and placed it on a large stool.

Next to it were prepared bowls and chopsticks, as well as steamed buns, which were brought back alternately for lunch and dinner.

There were a total of seven, just enough for one person each.

Yang Xiaole picked up a set of bowls and chopsticks and said to the others, "Be quiet when you eat, don't make any noise. If someone finds out, we won't have anything to eat."

After saying that, he picked up a piece of pork belly and stuffed it into his mouth.

It was delicious!

Still so delicious!

Seeing him start eating, everyone followed suit.

A group of people squatted on the ground, eating quietly without speaking.

"Eat your food, but don't make any noise!"

Wang Qiuju took a bite of tofu and instructed Xi Zi next to her.

Upon hearing this, Xi Zi immediately stopped making noise.

Yang Xiaole picked up a piece of tofu and put it in his mouth. Because it had been marinated for almost a day, the tofu tasted even better.

It was indeed delicious.

Three catties of tofu, two catties of pork belly, and three catties of yellow eel, totaling six or seven catties, along with the oily soup and a large steamed bun for each person.

Everyone ate heartily.

They didn't even notice that the steamed buns were a bit hard.

While eating, Wang Qiuju muttered with distress, "This is a disaster. How much meat did you put in? This oil is probably as much as the cafeteria uses for stir-frying! You kids are really causing trouble!"

A quick look at bit.ly/3iBfjkV will leave you more fulfilled.

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaole laughed and said, "Mom, eat less if it's causing trouble."

Upon hearing this, Wang Qiuju glared at him.

"You're always talking nonsense!"

But she didn't nag anymore and thought about interrogating this little monkey later to find out more secrets.

Half an hour later, everyone stood up with satisfied expressions.

"Burp!"

The sound of burping continued to come.

The basin of food was eaten clean, even the soup was dipped with steamed buns and eaten clean.

Xi Zi scraped the basin with the steamed bun.

After Wang Qiuju finished eating, she told her eldest daughter, "Go to the kitchen and wash the bowls and chopsticks, be quiet."

"Oh!"

Big Sister, who was also full, happily took the bowls and chopsticks and went to the kitchen.

Xiaoli followed behind to help.

After everyone left, Wang Qiuju cleaned up the room and used the dust from the hall to cover the oil stains.

When she finished, she asked Yang Xiaole, "Honestly, how did you get so much stuff? How did you randomly buy things? Who did you do it with?"

She had paid attention just now, and there was at least one and a half catties of meat.

Yang Xiaole smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry about who I did it with. I can't betray them either! The bait was specially made by me, so I got the most food. But they also got a lot. Of course, this is the last time. If you don't let us do it, there won't be any more in the future."

He shrugged, looking like he was willing to be exploited.

Wang Qiuju tidied him up a bit and finally gave up asking more questions.

Her brain wasn't as good as his.

She couldn't outsmart this little brat.

She just told him, "Don't do it anymore in the future. Don't ruin your whole life for a little bit of food and drink at home. Alright, go to sleep."

Shaking her head, she left the room.

As for Yang Guangzhi, he had his fill of food and drink today.

After everyone left, Xi Zi couldn't help but ask sneakily, "Brother, where did you get this from? Let's secretly do it next time!"

And Big Brother next to him was also curious and wanted to listen.

Yang Xiaole gave him a disdainful look.

With your brain?

Forget it!

Ignoring him, he left a sentence saying, "I'm going to take a shower," and left the room.

He came back after taking a shower.Not sure if it was because the food was cooked with well water, the whole family tossed and turned, only managing to fall asleep in the middle of the night.
