Su Erjun asked Su Mingzhe a few words.

Su Mingzhe didn't hide anything and answered everything honestly.

Soon, Su Erjun took Su Mingzhe to a wealthy family and asked Su Mingzhe if he had any linen clothes on him.

Su Mingzhe naturally took it with him. According to Su Erjun's instructions, he knelt at the gate wearing mourning clothes.

Su Erjun then knocked on the door and shouted:

"Grandpa, Mingzhe is back. Mingzhe sent Uncle Chaoqun and Aunt Chaoqun home."

A group of relatives had been waiting for the Su family's old house for a long time. As soon as they opened the door and saw Su Mingzhe wearing sackcloth and mourning, the crowd began to cry.

Affected by the atmosphere and the memory of his original body, Su Mingzhe couldn't help but burst into tears.

Su Mingzhe does not need to worry about burying Su Chaoqun and his wife.

The Su family received the call two days ago and started preparations.

Because of the times, the funeral could not be held grandly.

Relatives and friends helped to take care of it, and after they were buried near the Su family's ancestral grave, the matter was over.

Su Mingzhe didn't eat anything that day and fell into a drowsy sleep all night.

On the second day, he was taken to the main hall, where a dozen elders of the Su family smoked dry cigarettes and began to discuss matters concerning the living.

Su Chaoqun and his wife are gone, but Su Mingzhe is still young, and the Su family must take care of him until he grows up.

This is the customary rule of clan and township covenants.

Of course, if Su Mingzhe was a girl, everyone wouldn't need to study it so carefully.

Just drop him into a random family, raise him, and then get married.

The problem is, Su Mingzhe is a boy, and he will have to support a whole family of men in the future.

Even though he is still young now, everyone still needs to treat this issue carefully.

Su Mingzhe's grandfather, Su Shitou, was the first to speak:

"Erba and his wife (Su Chaoqun and his wife) left the little boy and left. Let's see how we can cope with it."

"Brother Shitou, the second baby is gone, but everyone is here. We must not leave this little one without support."

Su Erjun's biological grandfather and Su Shitou's cousin, as one of the few elders of the Su family, spoke first at this time:

"We have sixteen families here. Each family will squeeze in and give out one and a half kilograms of food rations every month. Brother Shitou, what do you think?"

Each of the sixteen families contributed one and a half kilograms, which was twenty-four kilograms of rations.

At this time, the ration stamps for adults were twenty-six kilograms a month.

It’s really interesting that everyone has put out so much, and they still put out so much every month.

Su Mingzhe's grandfather listened, took a puff of dry cigarette, nodded his heavy neck, and then said:

"Then let's do this. If you guys pay more attention in the future, it will be troublesome for Chaocheng, Chaoxiang and Chaogui to collect the rations for you."

"Okay, uncle."

Su Chaocheng, Su Chaoxiang, and Su Chaogui are the leaders of three branches of the more than a dozen households in the Su family. Let the three of them help collect their brothers' food and deliver it together in the end, which also saves the big guys from having to deal with each other one by one.

Su Shitou had two sons and three daughters, but the eldest son and his two daughters went to support the village, leaving only a daughter and a son.

My younger daughter also got married a few years ago.
