Hearing Lu Xingping's words, Yun Cuihe's forehead twitched.
"you……"
Seeing her raising her chopsticks, Lu Xingping hurriedly hid behind Yun Dabao.
"Uncle, help!"
When Yun Dabao saw this, he stopped Yun Cuihe's movements with a smile.
"Cuihe, what the child said is right. Chickens don't have teeth. What's so annoying about this?"
Yun Cuihe was immediately discouraged.
"Brother, don't let him do whatever he wants. He's wearing monkey skin."
Yun Chengcai also smiled to ease the atmosphere.
"As a child, there's nothing wrong with being more lively. After all, Xingping has a good heart. I think he's fine."
Lu Xingping looked at his uncle and uncle who spoke for him with a moved face.
The two uncles were so kind and loved him.
Yun Dabao looked in the direction of Yun Chengcai.
"It's a bit of a true legacy from your youth."
Yun Chengcai chuckled and touched his nose, "Isn't there a saying that a nephew is like an uncle? It's normal, normal!"
Yun Cuihe glanced in Lu Xingping's direction.
"Why don't you hurry up and eat! After you finish eating, go to school."
"Okay mother."
Lu Xingping didn't dare to speak anymore, so he held the bowl and started to slurp it into his mouth.
He doesn't know what happened to his mother? You didn't even say anything, so why did your mother get so angry?
I don't understand, I really don't understand.
After eating, Yun Cuihe went to catch chickens in the bamboo forest.
Chu Yue put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hands and looked at Lu Dagui, "Brother Dagui, go to the county town today and ask about the price of grain there. If the price is right, buy two hundred kilograms and come back. There will be no surplus grain at home."
Nowadays, there are many people to feed, and food is expensive and has to be bought.
If you don't have enough food, you won't have the energy to work.
Lu Dagui nodded hurriedly, "Okay, do I need to bring the goods from the workshop with me?"
"Take them with you. I've seen all the samples that Sister Qiuying sent to the hospital yesterday. There's no problem. You can ask her to give you thirty boxes of each to take to the county. I made an agreement with Miss Shen before."
"Sure." Lu Dagui stood up, "I've finished eating. I'll hitch up the mule cart and go to the workshop to transport the goods. I'll come back later, pick up the chickens, and set off for the county seat."
Looking at his impatient look, I didn't know, but I thought Lu Dagui was working proactively.
Only Chu Yue knew that it was because there was someone he wanted to see in the workshop.
Tiedan watched helplessly as his father hurriedly ran to the stable to fetch the mule, put it on the mule cart and drove straight out without even saying hello to him.
He scratched his head, his little head filled with doubts.
Normally, his father would always say hello to him wherever he went and tell him to be obedient at home. He was waiting by the side now. How could his father forget about him?
Tiedan pouted his little mouth and rubbed the bluestone beneath his feet with the soles of his shoes with an unhappy look on his face.
Seeing this, Chu Wenzhu stepped forward and asked, "Tiedan, what's wrong with you?"
Tiedan groaned.
"My father didn't even say a word to me before he left."
Chu Wenzhu blinked, with a hint of maturity in his tone, "What's so strange about this? Maybe I have too many things to do, so I forgot about it."
"But I'm standing next to him." Tiedan's tone was a little disappointed.
"Well..." Chu Wenzhu frowned, not knowing how to comfort him for a moment, "I don't know either. My parents are partial to my brother, so they don't take my sister and me to heart at all. You Dad is your only child, so he must care about you."
Tiedan sniffed, tears about to come out.
Chu Yue came out of the kitchen, looked at Tie Dan's eyes with red eyes, knelt down and asked, "Why are Tie Dan still crying?"
When Chu Yue asked, Tiedan finally couldn't hold himself any longer and started crying in aggrieved tone.
"Aunt, does my father not like me anymore? He just went out, and I was standing beside him and he didn't even say a word to me."
After experiencing changes in the family, the child's mind will inevitably become more sensitive, but Chu Yue can understand Tiedan's emotions.
She patiently explained to Tiedan, "How come your father doesn't like you? Think about how much change your father has made from last year to this year in order to support you? He carried you several times last year and came to see me for medical treatment. Don’t you remember? Although he didn’t say anything, we could all tell that he was nervous about you.”
Tiedan stopped crying.
"Is what aunt said true?"
Chu Yue wiped the tears off Tiedan's face with a handkerchief, "Of course it's true. Your dad just went to move the goods. He has to come back later. Stop crying. When your dad comes back later, he thinks it's us. I bullied you."
Tiedan immediately held back his tears and followed Chu Wenzhu to play in the yard like a normal person.
…
Lu Dagui went directly to the backyard of the workshop, got off the mule cart and knocked on the back door.
It was Fang who opened the door.
She looked at Lu Dagui with a smile on her face, "Is Dagui here to sell goods?"
"Yes, Aunt Fang." Lu Dagui entered the courtyard and looked around, "Where is Qiuying? I have something to explain to her."
Mrs. Fang closed the courtyard door and led Lu Dagui to a small warehouse.
"She's counting the goods in this room."
Lu Dagui said hurriedly, "Aunt Fang, just go and do your own thing. I'll just go and hand over the goods to her."
Mrs. Fang stopped and said, "Hey, Miaomiao happens to be still in the kitchen, so I have to watch."
After she finished speaking, she turned and went to the kitchen.
After a while, Lu Dagui, who had handed over to Zhang Qiuying, came out of the small warehouse. It happened that Fang also led Miao Miao out of the kitchen after finishing her meal.
"Dagui, have everything been handed over?"
"Handover is over, Aunt Fang." Lu Dagui responded, squatting down and pinching Miaomiao's little face, "We haven't seen you for a while, Miaomiao seems to have grown taller again."
Zhang Qiuying stood aside and said with a smile, "She has grown taller. The longer clothes I made for her at the end of last year now fit her just right."
Miaomiao looked up at Fang and asked in a low voice, "Grandma, are we still going to Aunt Yue's hospital?"
Because she spoke late, her pronunciation is not very standard now, but she can almost understand it even if she is half-hearing.
Mrs. Fang squeezed Miaomiao's little hand with a loving look on her face.
"Of course! Grandma will take you there right now. Let's go back quickly and we won't delay the work of the workshop."
Miaomiao nodded obediently.
"good."
Miao Miao was the same age as Fang's grandson, and after spending two days together, Fang really liked the little girl.
She spoke to Zhang Qiuying and Lu Dagui and went out.
There were only two people left in the yard at this moment, and Zhang Qiuying tucked the hair on her cheeks behind her ears with some embarrassment.
"Brother Lu, hurry up and move the things to the mule cart. It's a long way to the town. It will be dark when you come back carefully."
Lu Dagui glanced deeply at Zhang Qiuying, but still did not dare to pierce the layer of window paper between the two.
After all, he was not sure whether he could give Zhang Qiuying a better life.
After a moment, he nodded and moved the goods onto the mule cart one by one.
