There is Room For Abandoned Women In the 1980s

Chapter 201 Living is better than anything else

 “Mom, is something wrong?”

Zheng Xinyue shouted outside the door, instructing the hammer to eat the eggs quickly.

 “What’s the point of hanging the door?”

Gao Guilan asked suspiciously outside the door. Thinking of the cakes and mung bean cakes in her daughter's room, her expression suddenly changed:

“Open the door and you’re not afraid of being stuffy?”

"good."

Zheng Xinyue promised, put the egg skins away and threw them into the kang hole. When she saw that nothing was left behind, she went over and opened the door. With a smile on her face, she shouted naturally.

"mom."

Gao Guilan snorted and glanced at the five children with a pair of sharp eyes. Several children were too frightened to speak out and kept their mouths tightly closed for fear of being discovered by their grandma.

 “Where are the cakes and mung bean cakes I gave you?”

Gao Guilan saw that there was nothing wrong with them, so she walked towards the cabinet while asking.

 “Everyone is here!”

Zheng Xinyue hurriedly ran over, opened the cabinet door and took out the things.

 “Didn’t eat even a piece?”

Gao Guilan counted the pieces and remembered most clearly how many pieces he bought.

 “I’m keeping it for you!”

Zheng Xinyue picked up the mung bean cake and brought it to her mother's mouth, saying with a smile.

 “Mom won’t eat it, you keep it.”

Gao Guilan closed her mouth tightly and refused to say anything.

“Listen, this cake and mung bean cake are for your aunt, no one is allowed to eat them.”

Not only did Gao Guilan refuse to eat, she also stared at her eyes to scare her grandchildren.

 “If you don’t eat, we won’t eat.”

A few children were so frightened that they waved their hands hurriedly. Zheng Xinyue was secretly grateful. Fortunately, she had not had time to share the cakes with the children, otherwise the secret would have been exposed. It felt like being caught as a thief, and her little heart was so panicked!

Zheng Dakui came back in the middle of the night again. Gao Guilan put on his clothes and brought him the hot rice in the big pot into the house.

 “I’m so hungry.”

Zheng Dakui picked up the steamed bun and started to bite it. He devoured it and it tasted very delicious.

“Drink some water and don’t choke. Is the captain awake?”

Gao Guilan handed over the water distressedly, helping Zheng Maoshan's family without even providing food? That woman is stingier than myself.

"I woke up in the afternoon, but I couldn't speak. When I spoke, I drooled and cried like a child. My uncle has been strong all his life, but he got such a disease in his old age."

Zheng Dakui sighed. The old uncle and he were not much different in age. Seeing him, he was really afraid that he would be like that when he gets old in the future.

 “Can it be cured?”

Gao Guilan asked with concern.

“The doctor said that half of the body is not functional, but at least my life can be saved. Living is better than anything else.”

Zheng Dakui sighed again. In fact, he would rather die than live like this.

That would be worse than killing him.

Zheng Xinyue is checking the corn in the space at this time. It is still a little tender. If it is harvested early, the corn flour will be less and it is easy to get moldy.

No matter how anxious she was, she had to wait a day, so she simply went to collect a few mung beans first. Remembering that there were still mung beans at home, it was easy to mix them in.

 The dog days of summer are about to begin, so boil some mung bean water for your family members to prevent heatstroke.

Now she is only thinking about how to improve the living standards of her family without being discovered, which feels more difficult than getting into college.

The next day, it was another sunny day. The blue sky was cloudless. The sun rose early. The air was so sultry early in the morning that it was hard to breathe. I didn’t do any work, and my body was covered with a layer of fine beads of sweat. , the clothes stick to the body wetly.

When making breakfast, as usual, Gao Guilan took the basin to the warehouse to put the corn noodles. Gao Guilan scooped out the last bit of corn noodles and put them in the basin. Looking at the bottomed rice vat, she shook her head. Master Huang didn't send anything today. Yesterday, he didn't send anything. She had been talking about it for a long time. Maybe Master Huang went out to play?

“Mom, there is no corn flour in the rice vat. Should we go to the brigade to grind some?”
