In fact, she deliberately made herself sick at first. Only seriously ill patients had the hope of returning to the city for treatment.

She successfully returned to the city, but the vacant position needed to be replaced by other educated youth. If there was no one to replace her, she would have to return to the countryside after she recovered, but if someone replaced her, it would be different.

What she didn't expect was that Chuchu would take her place in the countryside. She has always felt very guilty and self-blame for this. If it weren't for her, Chuchu would not have gone to the countryside to suffer that pain.

"Chuchu, how long can you stay at home this time to visit your relatives?"

The family visit leave is generally six to ten days, and four days will be wasted on the round trip. When she went to the countryside and missed her relatives, she would apply for a family visit leave, but every time she went home to visit her relatives, she could not stay at home for more than three days.

"I won't go to the countryside this time when I come back."

Then, Ling Chuchu explained what happened.

Of course, I can only say what I can.

Knowing that Chuchu returned to the city and would not have to go to the countryside anymore, Ling Jiaojiao finally didn't have to feel guilty and self-blame in her heart.

The family sat together happily for dinner.

Ling Chuchu looked at the food on the table.

In addition to the boiled fish, there were a few black wowotou on the plate on the table. They were dry and hard to swallow.

She didn't know what the wowotou was made of. Why was it different from the wowotou she had seen before?

Aren't wowotou usually made of cornmeal?

In the memory left by the original body, before going to the countryside, the table was often filled with steamed buns made of white flour mixed with wowo flour, rather than black wowo buns.

This level of frugality seems a bit too much.

Or did something else happen at home that she didn't know about during her absence?

Before the meal, Liu Fanghua took a bowl and scooped out a bowl of chicken soup.

"Your sister-in-law has given birth to a baby. I'll serve some fish soup to your sister-in-law."

Fish soup is best for women who have given birth.

My sister-in-law gave birth to a grandson for the Ling family. Shouldn't my mother be happy? Why didn't she look happy at all, but looked a little sad instead.

"Mom, when did your sister-in-law give birth? Is it a boy or a girl?"

"Three months ago, she gave birth to a girl. She was not born full-term, but less than seven months. When she was born, she weighed only 4.62 catties. Your sister-in-law had little milk, so I was so worried at the time. I was afraid that I couldn't keep the child alive."

The baby is still limp and has no energy.

Unlike other babies of the same age, who at least sleep well, open their eyes and look around curiously, or giggle when adults tease them.

Their baby just sleeps with his eyes closed.

For the sake of the child, she went to the black market and exchanged all the money she had saved for several years for refined food and meat coupons. The money was given to her daughter-in-law, so at least she had more milk and had a chance to feed the child.
