Shi Fang is a sick child, and he has to fill in a lot of money every month. Even if Shi Changcai goes to the black market every day, the money he earns is only enough for the family to eat, drink and eat.

Soon Shiwei is going to study in a big city, and he has to spend money on food and drink, and Shifang’s medicine can’t be stopped, and Shiwei is about to marry a wife, if he didn’t delay his studies, he would be a father right now old.

Money is needed in every aspect of life, but the Shi family has no money.Not only have no money, but also owe a lot to others.

The crisis of poverty hangs over this family, so Shi Changcai and Dong Xuyuan have to hurry up and get busy so that they can pay back their family's living expenses by working hard.

Recently, every household has been harvesting food, and Shi Changcai and his wife are going to take advantage of this time to sell more.

Now there is no black market, and they can sell things openly.But at the same time, the competition is also greater.

However, busy farming is a good opportunity. Most of the busy farming people are trapped by heavy farm work, and it is a good time for them to sell things.

For this reason, there are no dishes other than wild vegetables on their table.Whether it's cabbage, green vegetables, or radishes, they want to exchange them for money, and they can't eat them.

Shi Wei has a big idea, and he bullies Shi Changcai and his wife for being uneducated and talking in a different way, so he can only pay for Shi Wei to try.

High-strength baijiu in the south is rarely sold, but there is baijiu in the next village. Although Shi Fang is young, he is very quick at work.

Hearing Shi Wei's words, he pulled out two radishes and came back, cut them into slices and mixed them with salt, and immediately ran to buy white wine, salt and sugar.

Salt is very cheap in their town along the coast. You can buy a jar for two cents, but sugar is not cheap. There is no sugar ticket in their family, so they can only buy sugar for one yuan and one catty.It looks like only a little bit.

"Brother, what are you buying these for?" Shi Fang asked curiously.

Shi Wei carried the crutch that Shi Changcai had made before but was using for the first time. Although he spun it sometimes, he still walked unsteadily, stumbling crookedly.

Shi Wei hadn't felt the existence of his legs for decades, even though there was pain from his feet, Shi Wei didn't feel uncomfortable at all, on the contrary, slowly joy and satisfaction filled his whole heart.

Shi Wei moved to the kitchen amidst Shi Fang's winning streak of "Be careful! Slow down!", then sat on a stool and began to direct Shi Fang to cook white vinegar.

Liquor can be used to make vinegar essence, and after adding water, it becomes white vinegar.

They didn't sell white vinegar in the town, and Shi Wei didn't know where to buy it. Fortunately, he knew how to quickly make white vinegar with high-grade liquor.

Although Shi Fang is often sick, she is a very lively little girl, or a little girl who talks a lot.

Because she was often sick, she was under a lot of psychological pressure, so she learned to use words to relieve her stress and irritability without a teacher.

Shi Changcai and his wife are not eloquent people, but their two children are very eloquent.

Shi Wei and Shi Fang stayed in the kitchen all afternoon, and Shi Fang chatted all afternoon.

"Brother, why are you so quiet today?" After finishing what Shi Wei ordered, and it was time to make dinner, Shi Fang asked strangely while wiping the sweat from his forehead with a rag.

"Because Fangfang's voice is nice, I want to hear more from you." It has been many years since Shi Wei was talking endlessly, and the lonely and disabled Shi Wei has long been used to being silent and alone.

Doesn't talk, and doesn't give him a chance to talk.

Shi Wei really wanted to join Shi Fang's chat, but he couldn't get used to it for a while, and he was reluctant to join.

Shi Fang's twittering and liveliness at her age made Shi Wei feel a sense of belonging and a sense of reality.

He stared earnestly at the girl whose face and figure had long been blurred in memory, watching her turn around in this stuffy and narrow space like a little sparrow.

"Brother, brother, I heard Xiaoxiao say that next year's voice will change, right?" Shi Fang always shifted his attention quickly, remembering when he came out, and while cooking and adding firewood, he asked All kinds of weird problems.

Shi Fang is an unlucky child, she has been suffering from illnesses since she was a child, but she is also a lucky girl at the same time.

At home, there is an elder brother who is the best reader in their town. He has read a lot of books and knows a lot, so when Shi Fang goes out, he always holds his head high and says something that sounds cloudy but makes people feel powerful. She was able to scare the little friends into a daze for a while, and stared at her with wide-eyed admiration.

"It doesn't have to be next year. Whether it's a boy or a girl, there will be changes at a certain age. Boys will be later and girls will be earlier..."

While Shi Wei was talking, Shi Fang stared at him adoringly with a pair of sparkling eyes.

"Didn't your teacher tell you?" Shi Wei was taken aback when he spoke.His memory of decades ago is already very hazy, especially these few years.Poverty, poverty, hunger, and man-made disasters made him keep avoiding the memories of the past few years, so he didn't think about the situation at this time.

Their home is in a rural area below Wuchang Town. It can't be said that it is remote, but it is by no means convenient.There is no high school, no middle school, not even a primary school in the village, and they have to go to the town to go to school, so education is very backward.Sometimes one-third of a class does not have all the textbooks.

People are hungry for knowledge, but the reality is that there is not much knowledge for them.

Shi Wei remembered that when he was studying, he didn't have much to read. It was the principal of his school who borrowed books and test papers from other schools locally, and then hand-copied them and distributed them to the senior three students.

"Fangfang, do you want to go to town?" Shi Wei asked suddenly.

"Think about it!" Shi Fang nodded again and again, but there was not much joy on his face, "But my parents won't let me go." She pouted, and the little girl who was only a little taller than the stove struggled to move Put water and sweet potato shreds into the pot.

Shi Wei smiled: "I told my parents to let them take you with them when they go to town tomorrow. But——"

Shi Fang's eyes lit up instantly, and he looked at Shi Wei expectantly.

"I have a task for you, you must do it well!" Shi Wei waved to Shi Fang and asked him.

After Shi Fang finished listening, he patted his chest and promised: "Brother, don't worry! I will definitely complete the task, and then I won't tell anyone."

When Shi Changcai and his wife came back, they smelled a sour smell before entering the house. Following the smell, they entered the kitchen. When they lifted the curtain, the room was filled with the smell of vinegar, which made the couple close their eyes.

"Are you guys playing with vinegar? Why are you so sour!" Dong Xuyuan waved his hand to fan the wind, while rolling up the straw curtain for ventilation, "His father, quickly take Weiwei out!"

Their home is a straw house with no glass windows and only a few doors.The mud walls are airtight, and the summer in the south is sweltering, so the whole kitchen smells sour and rancid.Shi Wei and Shi Fang had been in the kitchen for a long time, and their noses had long since lost their sense of the smell. Now they were kicked out of the kitchen, and after smelling it close to the kitchen, they felt that their noses were going to be destroyed!

The two of them used an earthen stove in the kitchen, burned the fire all afternoon, sweated all afternoon, and made vinegar all afternoon. At this moment, Shi Wei pressed his clothes to his nose, and he could clearly feel that the clothes were rotten. The mixed smell of stinking and sour is very unpleasant!

"Why do you buy so much sugar and salt!" Dong Xuyuan exclaimed when he found the sugar and salt jars in the cupboard when he was cleaning the kitchen.

Shi Wei said to the inside: "I bought it, and put all the money from my private house into it." In order to show support for Shi Wei's idea, Shi Changcai gave him fifty cents as a subsidy, which was not enough to buy half a catty of sugar. The only way is to instruct Shi Fang to search all the money in his house.

There were only two rooms in the house, Shi Changcai and his wife took Shi Fang to sleep in one room, and Shi Wei was afraid of being disturbed by others because of his studies, so he had one room by himself.The money in the family is managed by Dong Xuyuan. She is generous to Shi Wei, but the conditions of the family, no matter how generous they are, can't go anywhere. So Shi Fang searched the house, and finally found only three yuan, and then gave it all to spend. Lost.

When Dong Xuyuan heard Shi Wei's money-spending plan, his heart twitched, and he was so distressed that he almost fainted!

Three yuan and two plus the fifty cents that Dong Xu wished to give was three yuan and seven.Three sevens, three sevens!If Shi Fang didn't get sick this month, the money would be enough for her medicine for a month!

"Mom, don't worry, the money will be earned back!" Shi Wei told his mother while assuring her, "Don't mix the things on the second floor with our previous things. Calculate the cost and calculate the profit.”

Dong Xuyuan was reluctant to scold Shiwei, but he really felt sorry for the money he had spent, so he gave Shi Changcai a few hard glances, and aggressively took a large kitchen knife and started chopping wild vegetables.

"I didn't spend this money, why stare at me?" Shi Changcai waited for Dong Xuyuan to leave, and then he began to mutter dissatisfied in a low voice.

"Dad, let me tell you something." As soon as Shi Wei opened his mouth, Shi Fang ran over like a puppy, almost sticking out his tongue.

Shi Changcai thought he was going to talk about radishes again, so he said first, "Don't worry, those radishes are reserved for you. Your mother and I will sell the cabbage first."

"It's not about this." Shi Wei pushed Shi Fang over and placed it in front of him, "When you and Mom go to sell vegetables tomorrow, put Fang Fang on your belt."

Shi Fang stared at her father expectantly, her eyes were moist and shiny, her buttocks twisted and twisted, she really regarded herself as a puppy.

"Why are you following? The vegetable market is very messy!" Shi Changcai didn't want to take Shifang with her. She was small and weak, and she was sick for half a year, 360 five days, and 360 four years.

Although Shifang also went to school, it said it was a town, but it was actually a village close to the edge of the town, and it took more than ten minutes to walk to the town.

"Why should I go?" Shi Fang refused, she had longed to go to the town for a long time, but after all these years, she was familiar with the road to the hospital in the town. Not familiar with everything in the town.
