Chapter 1507: Help in Emergencies but Not in Poverty (1)

Ruan Lin was looking for a small hoe in the sundries behind the house.

After finding it, she told Xu Xu: "Xiao Xu, you will go to the front mountain later. Be careful and come back before dark, understand?"

Although Xu Xu's ability is no longer questionable, Ruan Lin still has to give him some advice every time.

Xu Xu nodded, and saw a few sweet potatoes in a corner of the main room. They were of different sizes, some were very big, some were very small, and most of them were broken. Only one was just the right size and intact.

Thinking that Ruan Jiaojiao liked to eat it very much, it should be just right when they go back at night.

He walked over and picked up the good sweet potato to the side of the charcoal basin, used the fire tongs to dig a small hole in the charcoal fire, stuffed the medium sweet potato in, buried it, and covered it with charcoal fire.

As a result, when he got up after doing all this, he saw that Mr. Shu was staring at his actions with an indescribable emotion in his eyes.

"..." He paused, but couldn't help but said, "This is for Jiaojiao."

"!!!" Mr. Shu immediately put away the nostalgia in his eyes, raised his head and glared at the dead boy. What did he mean? Did he think he would eat it secretly when he was not around?

He just remembered the most difficult time outside, and he also stewed sweet potatoes like this, so he missed it a little.

Seeing that Mr. Shu didn't speak, Xu Xu also kept silent for a few seconds, and finally turned around to take the irregular and broken sweet potatoes and said, "If you want to eat these, stew them yourself. "After saying this, he turned around and went to the backyard and the front mountain without caring about his reaction.

Mr. Shu was so angry that he almost threw the cat in his hand!

Not long after Xu Xu left, there was a rustling sound outside. Mr. Shu was strolling in the main hall. Ruan Jianguo and Ruan Lin went to the back mountain to dig winter bamboo shoots. Hearing the sound, he thought it was Rourou who came back, so he walked over and opened the half-closed door.

As a result, when he opened the door, he was facing a man who was so thin that his back was a little hunched. It was winter now. Although there was a little sunshine today, the temperature was still high. The temperature is not high, barely 4 or 5 degrees during the day, and close to zero at night.

In such a cold day, Mr. Shu saw the man standing in front of him, wearing a pair of rubber shoes with holes on his feet, without socks, autumn pants, and a pair of thick woolen pants inside, which should not have been washed for a long time, and a layer of black scabs have formed on them, which makes people feel nauseous. The cotton coat on the upper body is probably worn for more than ten years, and the cloth strips are worn out. Probably to block the wind, he also tied a thick belt around his waist.

"Who are you? "Mr. Shu looked him up and down, and finally asked with a frown.

It was already the 1990s, and the most difficult years had long passed. Mr. Shu couldn't understand how a grown man could live like this. If he worked a little harder, he could earn enough to eat and live.

Xu Jianlin came back because Liu Mei had just heard Rourou's wolf howl and guessed that someone from the Ruan family had returned, so she ordered Xu Jianlin to come and borrow money from the Ruan family.

Xu Jianlin owed the Ruan family a lot of money over the years. He had borrowed so much that he didn't even count it, and he had never paid it back once.

Liu Mei was afraid at first, afraid that they would ask them for money, but after so many years, seeing that they had never asked for money, she simply became shameless and kept instigating Xu Jianlin to borrow money.
