Li Jianing pretended to be relaxed and sat at the door of the main hall. Li Chengcai was frowning and smoking a dry tobacco. He immediately heard the movement from the stairs.

Knowing that his poor niece was coming downstairs, Li Chengcai hurriedly put out the dry tobacco roll that was lit in his hand again, and he couldn't bear to throw it away. The dry tobacco that was left with only lighted butt was carefully hung on his ears, and he rushed towards the main hall.

Seeing Li Jianing down the stairs and walked into the main hall, Li Chengcai immediately had a caring smile on his face and stepped forward to say hello.

"Sister Ning, you're up. Come on, uncle will give you hot water to wash your face, and then uncle will take you to the pond!"

Li Chengcai said it urgently because he was afraid that the child would interrupt him, so he would sensitively ask himself where the rest of the family had gone?

If the child asks, how should he answer?

As a last resort, he could only use such words to divert the child's attention.

While walking hurried to the kitchen and preparing to make hot water, Li Chengcai was still thinking about it.

I hid five dollars on my back and wanted to buy clothes for my children. Not to mention that I couldn't afford it at all. Even if I could afford it, I think my niece wouldn't look down on the clothes they sold by the countryman.

With the money, he took his children to the pond to eat a bowl of rice noodles that she likes the most, and bought some snacks for her niece.

To be honest, he, the uncle, cannot give more compensation to the children...

Li Chengcai, who was busy calculating arrangements at this moment, completely forgot that his wife had just told him to take care of the house before going out, and to feed the old sows and chickens and ducks. In his opinion, nothing is important for him to compensate his niece at the moment.

And what about Li Jianing?

I was almost done with everything upstairs. After meeting her uncle with such an expression and attitude, how could I not know what his uncle was thinking?

Besides, how could she, an adult with hands and feet, let her elders fetch water and serve her? It must not be possible!

"Brother, stop busying. I know where the hot water is, I will do it myself."

As he spoke, Li Jianing quickly stepped forward without saying a word, stopped her uncle and asked him to rest, while he hurried to go to the kitchen to fetch water and wash.

After washing up, Li Jianing followed her to the village she had never been to before, amid the greetings of her uncle.

Although it has entered the millennium, the villages and towns in the mountains are actually quite poor. They can't make much money by digging food all year round. They have strong laborers at home and want to have some money left, so they all go outside to work.

In other words, the Chinese New Year is coming, and the township market is only more lively. Otherwise, the people who come to the pond on weekdays are just the elderly, weak, disabled, sick and young.

Even during the Chinese New Year, there is nothing good in this rural market.

It is either a mountain product made by oneself, or a cargo specially sent to the market that some people who specialize in the market are pulled by hand with a tractor or tricycle, and they come to sell it whenever they arrive. Naturally, this thing cannot be compared with that in the county supermarket.

After more than an hour of following the uncle, they arrived late. The small street was already crowded, and Li Jianing didn't expect to find that person.

I wanted to say hello to my uncle and was about to stroll around alone, but Li Jianing was pulled by her uncle. On the grounds that she had not had breakfast yet, she pulled her to a house. Li Chengcai went to the market and spent 50 cents to eat a bowl of noodles.

I just wanted to sigh that eating bowls of noodles in the countryside is half cheaper than in the county, but her uncle was as careful as she was not giving her any chance. He gave the money to the noodles first, and then asked the boss to give her the noodles. He himself held his dry cigarette in his mouth and squatted to the corner outside the storefront to smoke.

Facing this scene, Li Jianing felt soft.

Does she lack the money for this bowl of rice noodles?

No, she doesn't lack what she lacks, but now she looks at her cowardly uncle, but she gives it selflessly.

This kind of care and attention makes Li Jianing not soft-hearted? How can she not be moved?

Because of the rare warmth in her heart, Li Jianing quickly finished the rice noodles in front of her and left the store with her mouth. When she saw her uncle happily coming up and asked her what else she wanted to eat or what to order, Li Jianing pulled her uncle and walked towards the supply and marketing cooperative in the village without saying anything.

Although this is still called a supply and marketing cooperative, it has actually been contracted to private individuals. Apart from two convenience stores, the only one in the village is the largest in the original supply and marketing cooperative. Although it cannot be compared with the supermarkets in the city, the goods are still complete.

Li Jianing pulled her uncle here, but she just wanted to buy two cigarettes for this person, the only relative who was kind to her.

From the memories hidden in her previous life, it is not difficult for Li Jianing to see that the best cigarette she had smoked in her life was probably the tobacco leaves she planted herself. Then she would dry it and cut it into shreds to smoke. She had never smoked it well at all. Is there any good cigarette on the market?

When he arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, before Li Chengcai could react, Humi went directly to the counter and asked someone for two pieces of fine white sand, a hard shell box with a flip cover.

At this time, this kind of high-quality white sand cigarette is considered a top-notch good cigarette in the southwest of their country. It costs ten yuan per pack of retail!

Although buying one by one is cheaper, it costs ninety-six per piece, and two is one hundred and ninety-two yuan. For Li Jianing, who can make money, this expenditure is a bit painful, not to mention Li Chengcai, who has no income at all.

Seeing Li Jia paying money quickly, giving money, and taking cigarettes, doing it in one go without any delay, when he reacted and shouted that he would not want it, the child had already taken the change recovered by the salesperson.

"Sister Ning, you little girl! Why do you buy these expensive and spicy things? You don't smoke, hurry up, listen to your uncle, we will return the cigarette."

He angrily persuaded Li Jianing. Seeing the child holding two cigarettes, Li Chengcai hurriedly looked back at the salesperson, "Boss, the child is ignorant, we don't want this cigarette, we will take it back, can you see if we can?"

This salesperson, actually the boss lady, just now she sold two cigarettes and was in a good mood, but the customer wanted to return the goods, so she certainly couldn't accept it!

But in the principle that customers cannot offend their smiles, the boss’s wife smiled and looked at Li Chengcai with her face.

"Brother, what are you saying? Isn't your child buying cigarettes to honor you, the elder? Brother, it's better for you, you are happy! With such a filial daughter, you also buy such expensive cigarettes for you. You can beat the filial piety of your children..."

"Boss, this is my niece..."
