Chapter 442: word change 2 (1/2)
Seeing how pitiful the child was, Zhao Xiulan sighed and comforted, ”Okay, I'll take your paintings and calligraphy. I'll give you 20 catties of rice and 20 catties of white noodles. What do you think?”
When the little boy heard that Zhao Xiulan wanted to give so much food, he was stunned for a while.
He originally only thought about giving Zhao Xiulan a few catties of grain, even coarse grains, but he didn't expect Zhao Xiulan to give so much fine grains all at once.
”Sister, are you really willing to give so much?”
”Why do you think it's too little? Your paintings and calligraphy are of average quality, and I can only produce so much food, otherwise you can find someone else to exchange it!”
The little boy hurriedly shook his head, ”No no no, sister, enough is enough, there are already a lot of them, you can take all these paintings and calligraphy!”
”Well, I don't think you can handle the food alone, so let's take me to your house, and I'll help you deliver the food there!”
”good!”
The little boy nodded heavily, ”Okay, thank you sister!”
The little boy led the way and took Zhao Xiulan home.
On the way, Zhao Xiulan also inquired about the little boy's family situation.
His name is Chu Xiaobao, he is nine years old this year, his parents died, and now he lives with his grandmother.
Originally, Chu Xiaobao's parents were soldiers, and they died while performing the mission. Every year, they will give some subsidies to their grandparents and grandchildren.
Therefore, Chu Xiaobao and his grandmother can barely survive.
But in the past two years, several shameless cousins in the family came to **** them, and the subsidies that Chu Xiaobao and grandma received were all searched and taken away by several cousins.
As a result, Chu Xiaobao and grandma's life suddenly became very difficult.
Especially this year, there is not enough food to eat, and a few cousins have been looting so much that they can't get anything to eat anymore.
