Chapter 24 Picking Shepherd's Purse_1

Old Man Song accepted the flour and told her that when he got more fish and shrimp, he'd have it sent to her.

It all had to be kept a secret, though.

So, without wasting any more words, they completed the exchange, and Old Man Song hurriedly left with the children.

He had brought a small cloth bag in advance.

By then it was all packed inside, and he had given a dime to Song Yunuan, telling her to buy some candy later.

Song Yunuan, carrying the cloth bag, and Song Mingsheng originally wanted to jump into the fish basket to have Grandpa carry him on his back, but Song Yunuan said there was a fishy smell and it would become stinky.

Song Mingsheng pouted, and looking at his clean clothes, no longer insisted on squatting inside. Old Man Song went to the grocery store, where he bought a pound of pork belly. This didn't require food coupons but was a dime more expensive than the items that did.
