Transmigrated into the original heroine of the period novel who was cannon fodder

Chapter 347 How come he got away so quickly?
Lingxi had a regular schedule, and when it was about time, she would go back to sleep yawning. Second Uncle Pei and Pei Jin both had extra things to work on overtime, so they didn't stay long.

Pei Jin's side was easy to deal with. When Uncle Pei returned to the house, he saw Aunt Pei had already packed out a basket of things.

Some cakes and candies brought back by Lingxi and the others!

Pei Yanning sent out special alcohol and cigarettes, as well as some smoked chickens, smoked rabbits, and a fresh big pig's head.

Uncle Pei: "..."

Aunt Pei smiled when she saw him and mentioned the job, "I've heard about it. Their uncle is in charge of the steel plant. My brother and his family will definitely be able to work in the plant. I'll go tell them the good news tomorrow."

She also asked Uncle Pei to give her advice.

"How about I take some of your can of tea back with me?
My parents have probably never tasted such good tea in their lives, and my brother, let him have a taste too."

Uncle Pei didn't think it was very good.

He laughed angrily.

"Have I been too good-tempered these years?"

Uncle Pei's tone was always gentle. When he was angry, his tone did not change much. Under the dim kerosene lamp, his expression could not be seen. Aunt Pei, who was in excitement, did not realize anything at all and replied casually, "Not bad."

Uncle Pei: "..."

He lost his temper instantly.

He felt that he was simply making things difficult for himself by trying to make her understand something in this way.

Aunt Pei couldn't even feel anything at this time.

Uncle Pei is a little strange.

"My mother has only been gone for a few months!"

How come it disappeared so quickly?
Aunt Pei's body stiffened. She felt a sudden gust of cold wind blowing by her side and she couldn't help shivering.

"What are you doing, so late at night..."

Weird!

She almost blurted out these three words, but then she remembered that everyone in her family was a filial son or grandson, and she couldn't be disrespectful to her ancestors, so she swallowed the words back.

When Uncle Pei saw her reaction, he instantly realized that he was right.

Uncle Pei rubbed his eyebrows.

"You may have forgotten that our family has already been divided, and I'm afraid you can't distribute the child's things."

Uncle Pei spoke slowly: "The things in your backpack, the pig head is what Pei Jin left for Lingxi to take back to the factory, the cakes and candies are Minghui's, and the cigarettes and alcohol are Pei Yu's..."

Uncle Pei counted them one by one, and every time he said something, Aunt Pei's face became more embarrassed.

It was obvious that she didn't take it seriously at all.

She felt awkward for a while when the family was first divided, but later she found that life went on as usual, her sons were no strangers to each other, the things they brought home were still piled up in the storeroom at home, and they still basically ate, dressed and lived together.

After the old lady passed away, she held the key to the warehouse in her hand. Over time, she felt that everything in the warehouse belonged to her, so she naturally had the right to distribute it. What was a big deal if she took some of it to give away?

Don’t they always give away what’s in there?

Now that she told Uncle Pei about this, Aunt Pei felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

"What, that's not...

They are all my children, is it necessary to distinguish them so clearly?"

Uncle Pei laughed: "What do you think?"

After saying this, Uncle Pei mixed some hot water and washed his feet. He didn't say anything else, nor did he look at Aunt Pei, whose expression kept changing as she stood in front of the backpack. He just kept doing his own thing.

He wanted to see what she would do now that he had said so much.

Is there a lot of stuff in the backpack?
A lot!
It was during the famine that most of the supply and marketing cooperatives were out of stock. Cakes and candies were hard to find. Their family had no shortage of smoked chicken and duck, but during the famine in the past two years, many families really had not eaten meat. As for the pig head...

It is even harder to find now. If it were easy to find, Pei Jin would not have kept it specifically for Lingxi.

Then there are cigarettes and alcohol. The special supplies are not available even if you have money. Of course, they are still sold in some high-end black markets. A pack of cigarettes sells for 18.8 yuan, and a pack of alcohol costs over a hundred yuan.

All she had were two bottles of wine and five or six packs of cigarettes, which cost her three hundred yuan.

Add to that other miscellaneous items, including some cloth, towels, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and soap that Lingxi gave her, and four hundred yuan would be more than enough. Uncle Pei now suspects that she might carry another two hundred yuan with her when she goes to give to others.

What does five or six hundred yuan mean? An ordinary workshop worker would have to save it for two years without eating or drinking.

But even so...

It's not really painful to say that you have too much flesh.

Uncle Pei is not that short-sighted. The Pei family has never been short of money. Not to mention the family fortune left by their ancestors, there are also the unexpected windfalls that he occasionally encounters in the mountains. As a big boss in various black markets, Uncle Pei himself doesn't even know how much money he has saved over the years.

In fact, Uncle Pei’s income is higher than Pei Yanning’s.

Pei Yanning now has a fixed salary. Two or three hundred yuan a month seems like a lot, but there is always a shortage of rich people, and there is actually a huge demand for health products that strengthen the body or have some special effects.

This is what Uncle Pei and Pei Jin are doing now.

The two of them take a few days off every once in a while to brew and mix medicinal wine, which they sell at very high prices. In the past two years, they have quietly accumulated a group of regular customers.

Although the amount they sell each month is limited, the price on the black market is still very high.

The share given to Lingxi and Gu Si last year was equivalent to Pei Yanning’s salary for most of half a year.

Therefore, Uncle Pei doesn't care about such a small thing. If Uncle Pei doesn't care about Pei Jin, Pei Yu, and Pei Xuan, they may not care about it either.

only……

He rubbed his brows again, wondering what to do next.

When Lingxi and the others arrived at Uncle Pei's house early the next morning, they noticed that the atmosphere there was a bit solemn.

Uncle Pei, Pei Jin, Pei Yu and Pei Xuan, the four of them just sat there.

On the table in front of them was a large pig's head, a tea can, and half a pack of candies and snacks...

Lingxi didn't understand.

Uncle Pei saw them come back to their senses and said, "Come over here."

He pointed at the pig's head and said to Lingxi, "I know you like to eat it. Your eldest brother left it for you. Our cooking skills are not as good as Gu Si's. You can take it back and make it yourself."

Lingxi smiled with curved eyebrows when she heard it.

"Okay, big brother is the best."

After saying a few words here and returning, Lingxi was surprised to find that she seemed to have not seen her second aunt for a long time.

Aunt Pei had already arrived at her parents' home by this time.

As for the remaining things on the table, she picked them out and left them there after listening to Uncle Pei's words, and she was very reluctant to leave them.

She took away all the wine and cigarettes that Pei Yu had specially provided, and left a small portion of Minghui's candies and snacks. However, she did not take the pig's head that Pei Jin had given to Lingxi.

Uncle Pei was so angry that he laughed.

Should he also praise her for knowing that Lingxi’s things cannot be touched and that half of her grandson’s things must be kept?

Uncle Pei looked at his sons and said, "Go check the warehouse and move your things back to your room.

Don’t leave it lying around in the future.”

After a pause, he said, "Your mother...

You all know that she can live an ordinary life, but when something happens, she can't do it.

That's it, you are all adults now.

Since your grandmother has divided the family property among you, you should not waste her painstaking efforts at that time."
