After finishing a bowl of meat porridge, finishing a small plate of pickles, and showing off a bowl of brown sugar and eggs, Lin Xiangrong touched her round belly and reached out for Zhou Zhaodi to hug her.
Zhou Zhaodi, who always dotes on her daughter to the point of almost committing suicide, picked up her daughter, burped Lin Xiangrong and asked softly, "How are you? Are you happy living in the town?"
"happy!"
Not only was she happy, she even suddenly discussed setting up an extra stall with Lu Xiao. How could she not be happy when she saw that she could have another income.
Zhou Zhaodi wanted to ask about her sister-in-law, but she was afraid that her daughter, who was very sensible at a young age, would misunderstand her. Zhou Zhaodi, who would also give her a big surprise by getting pregnant out of wedlock in the future, withdrew the question.
"Mom, I'll take my daughter back to bed."
It was getting late. At eight or nine o'clock, not all rural people went to bed, but for children, it was a good time to sleep. Zhou Zhaodi walked to the backyard with her daughter and Sanfu's collar in her arms.
"Mom, give me a hug."
Sanfu is tall and tall. A ten-year-old boy is about the same build as a twelve- or thirteen-year-old boy. His hands are exceptionally generous and strong. Not to mention that he is not comparable to adults, but he is indeed no worse than his peers.
"Hold it steady."
When I was working, I always heard that some brothers and sisters had a good relationship, and they helped each other when they got married and started a career. I also heard that some people were partial, and the relationship between brother and sister was very bad. Even if they didn't say that they would never interact with each other until they died, it was almost the same.
Zhou Zhaodi deliberately cultivated the relationship between the brother and sister, hoping that one day she and the head of the family would be gone, and the three rich men would be nicer to the only girl they grew up with.
It's not that he doesn't believe that his son can be ruthless.
But Sanfu said when she was young that she didn't want him because of her daughter. Although a child didn't understand what he said, Zhou Zhaodi couldn't help but think about it.
After all, boys are forgetful, have lower empathy than women, and have little understanding of women’s situations, so they can easily become alienated from their daughters.
This is what she doesn't want to see.
"okay."
The third rich man hugged his sister and lowered his head to see his sister staring at him with a pair of big, round cat eyes full of trust. He felt a great sense of accomplishment, and his feelings for his sister were growing day by day.
"Third brother, have you raised a little duck?"
In the backyard, the little ducks quacked one after another, causing the big yellow dogs to keep barking. The forest residents and their family in the cabin were so noisy that they could hear their complaints from a long distance away.
"I didn't raise them." Sanfu shook his head, raised his chin towards the front yard, and said with a hint of disdain: "Wang Goudan got them. He caught the wild ducks with the children in the village. They were originally divided into several wild ducks by everyone. , but he snatched them all back."
"Let's see, tomorrow the parents will have to come to ask for the little wild duck."
Sanfu said that he would have a meal here.
Why did Lin Xiangrong ask about the duck?
Oh, yes, he forgot. Lin Xiangrong has a good ear and cannot hear noise, otherwise he will not be able to sleep at night. He thought for a moment and then said: "Brother will drive the duck to the front yard in a while, so that it won't disturb you." sleep."
"Thank you, brother." Lin Xiangrong just asked casually, but she didn't expect Sanfu to think of this. When she smiled, a pair of dimples appeared, and Sanfu freed up a hand to poke them.
My girl is so cute!
She is cuter than any other little girl in the village.
A coal lamp was lit in the west wing.
When Lin Yuannan pushed the door open and entered the house, he heard the playful laughter of his daughter and son. He pursed his lips and smiled. He also saw Zhou Zhaodi mending clothes for the brother and sister. The lights in the house were a little dim, so he lit an extra coal lamp.
"Why are you lighting so many coal lamps?" Zhou Zhaodi paused and asked doubtfully, "What a waste. You have to buy them when you don't have them. Do you have anything to do?"
"Isn't it time to see you mending clothes? The light is too dim."
Lin Yuannan grinned, sat on the kang, and talked about Ning Zhen's coming in a while. He also said that he would go into the mountains to hunt some game in a few days and prepare a small wild boar to make bacon for Ning Zhen. Take it back with you.
"Sure, I'll do whatever you want, as long as nothing happens in the mountains."
Zhou Zhaodi couldn't say this.
The mountains are dangerous, there are wolves, bears and other big insects, but Ning Zhennian really can't say good things to his daughter, so he should kill a small wild boar to make bacon for others.
And if it was just a little deeper, it would probably be fine. She read a sentence and said nothing more.
After calculating the time, he thought it was time to go to bed, so he rushed San Fu back to the side room to sleep. He brought his daughter over and wiped her face. After coaxing her to sleep, he and Lin Yuannan discussed carefully before turning off the lights.
The next day, several families who had robbed their ducks came to ask for them.
Wang Goudan's little black face turned red and he didn't want to give it. He yelled and finally called Wang Po out.
As soon as Mrs. Wang came out, she put her hands on her hips and scolded the visitor, which was unreasonable: "Why, didn't my dog Dan catch this wild duck?"
"Goudan caught it, but we all caught it, why did Goudan snatch us away?!" One of the families followed the boy who caught the wild ducks and shouted loudly: "Why don't we give a few to each person? It's not like we didn't contribute. !”
Supported by his backer, Wang Goudan was very proud. He put his hands on his hips and shouted loudly: "What kind of effort did you do? Is it just that you helped drive away the little wild ducks and called for your efforts?"
"I even crawled around and caught several of them without saying anything. Go ahead and don't come to my house to cause trouble!"
Wang Goudan felt that he was right. Sooner or later, this old Lin family belonged to his old Wang family.
His words made several adults angry: "What are you doing? Are you, the old Lin family, bullying others?"
The adults who came were all aunts and mothers-in-law. They usually chatted together and knew a little about each family's affairs. Naturally, they knew that during this period, the old Lin family had two families of poor relatives who had defected to the house.
Wang Po, who is unfamiliar but can call out, immediately knew who this person was.
"Who am I talking about? It turns out that he went to live with Lao Lin's family. After living here for a few days, he really thought it was his own home. Bah!" A woman who was helping her grandson to get wild ducks patted her face and asked. There was spitting on the ground: "This thick-skinned person is not too embarrassed to be embarrassed."
"That's right, he's just a poor relative who came here to seek refuge in the autumn wind. He really thinks he's a big deal, and he treated this place as his home after staying there for only two days!"
The ladies sang in harmony and made Wang Po's face turn red.
She considers herself to be a figure in Wangcun. She has a married husband and two fat boys. She has the right to speak. She is in charge of every home and has to give in to others wherever she goes. Call me Wang Po.
But this old woman in Xingjia Village doesn't care about her majesty or face at all. She really has no education at all. Aren't she afraid of being soaked in a pig cage? !
Wang Po rolled up her sleeves and immediately began to curse several people at the door.
The old women were so excited that they used words they had never heard before.
It was an eye-opener for Lin Xiangrong who had just woken up.
