Chapter 102: Little Knot...He actually tied a little knot for him!
In the rice field, each household joyfully received their money and goods, returning home with their children. Some children had chubby cheeks, their laughter threatening to lift the roof. Several little girls wore brand new red ropes on their heads, their faces beaming like flowers.
Of course, there were also crying children who got nothing. A few sobs, and parents, embarrassed by the spectacle, would inevitably drag them over for a spanking.
Chen Jianguo, accustomed to such scenes, was busy checking the goods and meticulously recording them in his little ledger. Once the cart was organized, he hurriedly headed towards the cowshed after handing the cows over to the village herder.
After leaving the cows, Chen Jianguo carried his belongings towards home. His family had also accumulated some eggs, and his wife and mother had woven quite a bit of coarse cloth. While it seemed like a considerable amount, taking into account the family's size and expenses, especially on necessities like salt, it didn't last long.
Before reaching home, he saw a group of children rushing towards him at the door, chattering incessantly and giving him a headache. He scolded them with a stern face, and except for his youngest son clinging to him, the others fell silent.
"Big brother is back!"
"Elder brother, did you buy the salt?"
"Hey, Dad, we left a steamed bun for you in the pot, still warm, go eat it..."
Hearing his wife's words, Chen Jianguo felt relieved. His expression softened as he asked his wife to take the children away, and then he entered the main house with his belongings.
He handed over the goods he had bought to his mother first. Chen Jianguo then pulled out the two meat buns that had already lost their warmth.
As soon as the big white buns appeared, they attracted the attention of everyone in the room. Chen Jianguo's mother, Liu Cui, immediately reached out to take one, asking, "Eldest son, where did these buns come from?"
She had just counted the money that Laoda gave her, and her family had a good amount as well. It couldn't be the money Laoda used to buy this, and he didn't have food coupons either.

"That was given by that educated youth, Xu," Chen Jianguo honestly explained. "On the way back, he bought a bag of meat buns and treated me to two. He asked me to bring one for you to taste."
Chen Youshan and Liu Cui didn't ask why there were two; it was clear that Chen Jianguo saved one for himself.
"It's meat!" Liu Cui exclaimed with joy. "Let's eat it hot tonight. With such large buns, our kids can each have a big bite."
A shadow crossed Chen Jianguo's face. The food he saved from his portion was meant for his wife and children.
Chen Youshan didn't miss the expression on his eldest son's face. He reprimanded, "Why divide? Didn't Laoda say that he was treating both of us?"
Before Liu Cui could say anything more, Chen Youshan gave her a stern look. Chen Youshan was no fool. When he helped the educated youth, Xu, repair his house, his second and third sons went, and they all got white sugar as a reward, except for his eldest.
