"I have agreed to this. Comrade Zhao, which comrade from our family are you going to send to my uncle's house to deliver things later?" Qin Yundao said.
"What do you call me? No matter how big or small..."
Zhao Yulan glanced at her.
"Yingying doesn't like to walk, so you and Xiaoli can go together. When we get to your uncle's house, don't accept it if your aunt gives you food or something. Your sister Chunping and brother Dongping are both old, and they need to spend money. There are too many, and my uncle’s family is not well-off either.”
"Yeah, I remember."
At this time, Qin Ying, who was enjoying a delicious meal with wild vegetables dipped in broth, suddenly stopped what he was doing and looked at Zhao Yulan.
"Mom, I'm going to my aunt's house. Brother doesn't like sweets, but I do. Right? Brother?"
Every time she went to her uncle's house, her aunt would stuff candy into Qin Ying's pocket.
She really likes the candies given by her aunt.
Qin Li shook his head helplessly.
"Okay, you go, you go."
He was too lazy to move.
Can't you take a good nap after dinner? How could the sugar cubes be as fragrant as the broth made by his sister?
As for why not all three children were allowed to go, it was naturally because Zhao Yulan felt that there was no need for three people to go.
If two children go, that means they have company on the road.
When three kids go there, it's like going to someone else's house to get snacks.
These days, everyone is not well off.
Although her brother and sister-in-law are nice people and their family conditions are much better than those of the Qin family, she is not willing to give blame to others.
The sisters finished their meal.
Zhao Yulan has already made a small bowl of oyster mushrooms.
The meat was served in a large bowl, but not too full.
I'm afraid I might accidentally spill the soup while walking, which would be a waste.
This was something her daughter had worked so hard for, and she was reluctant to waste any of it.
Uncle Zhao Hongwen's family is in Zhaojia Village, next door to Qinjia Village.
My aunt's name is Zhou Lijuan.
The surnames Zhao and Zhou are both common surnames in Zhaojiacun.
There are several roads leading from Qinjia Village to Zhaojia Village, and the closest one is a path that villagers often take to work.
On the way, we have to pass through many farmlands.
Those who are close are from Qinjiacun, and those who are far away are from Zhaojiacun.
After walking for about half an hour, the sisters finally arrived at the entrance of Zhaojia Village.
Qin Ying's little face has become wrinkled like a bitter gourd, and her aunt's house is too far away. Is it easy for her to just eat a piece of candy?
After that, the sisters walked for a short while and arrived at their uncle's house.
Entering the yard, only my aunt Zhou Lijuan was at home.
"Auntie, aren't my uncle and my sister here?"
Zhou Lijuan looked surprised when she saw the two sisters.
"Your uncle and sister just went out. Why are you two here now? Have you eaten? Are you hungry on the road?
"I recently got some white flour at home. I'll make you some noodles mixed with sorghum flour and white flour. How about some spinach and scrambled eggs?"
Although Qin Yun wanted to eat noodles with side dishes, she still remembered Zhao Yulan's instructions.
They were not allowed to bring food back.
Then you definitely can't eat here.
Otherwise, Qin's mother would not let them rush to this time after lunch and before going to work.
"Auntie, please stop working. We came here after dinner."
While talking, Qin Yun took off the bamboo basket carried on his elbow and lifted the covering on it.
"This is for your home."
There is an enamel basin upside down on the bowl containing oyster mushrooms and rabbit meat.
Zhou Lijuan couldn't see what was put inside, but she smelled something, but because the things were cold and covered, she couldn't tell them right away.
"What is this?"
"The oyster mushrooms and rabbits found in the mountains are all cooked. I'll send you a little at home. It's just enough for one meal. Don't be too little."
"You kid, you are so polite to me."
While talking, Zhou Lijuan asked Qin Yun and Qin Ying to go into the kitchen, find two bowls, and clear out the things.
Qin Yun took a quick look and knew that life in his uncle's family was better than theirs.
The kitchen is as big as their main room.
Cupboards, benches, dining tables, and low stools are all available.
When their aunt led them to the main room, there was a set of tables and stools, and cabinets and other furniture on the walls.
Zhou Lijuan took out a lot of candies from the cabinet and put them on the table for the two sisters to eat.
When Qin Ying saw Qin Yun nodding, she picked up the toffee on the side and ate one.
After eating, she picked up another piece of fruit candy and put it in her mouth with a happy face.
The two pieces of candy were both wrapped in paper, but the little girl folded them neatly, put them together, and put them in her pocket.
"What is this for?"
Qin Yun looked puzzled and filled the bag with paper instead of candy.
But Zhou Lijuan had an expression on her face that I understood very well, and said, "Yingying likes to collect these candy wrappers, just like you, Sister Chunping, did when she was a child."
After being reminded by his aunt, Qin Yun pulled out some such trivial matters from the memory of the original owner.
When the original owner was a child, he didn't pay much attention to such things.
Because she has been a child with a stable mentality and her own ambitions since she was a child. She only wants to make a lot of money in the future and let her family live a good life.
Many little girls in the village can do this kind of thing, but she is an exception.
Although the original owner did make a lot of money later, he also missed out on many of the small pleasures in life.
Just as they were talking about the candy wrappers, the three members of the Zhao family came back.
"Mom, who is here?"
Zhou Lijuan usually speaks louder.
Therefore, as soon as Zhao Chunping entered the courtyard, she vaguely heard her mother talking about herself in the main room, and then guessed that there was a guest at home.
While talking, Zhao Chunping opened the door curtain and entered the house.
The three people in the room all looked towards her.
"sister!"
"sister!"
Both Qin Yun sisters greeted her.
Zhao Chunping and her mother had the same reaction, "Huh? Why are you two here? Have you eaten?"
Turning around, he saw the candies on the table next to Qin Ying.
She then looked at Zhou Lijuan and asked, "Mom, why don't you cook for them?"
"Sister, we came here after dinner." Qin Yun said quickly.
Zhao Chunping's appearance and personality are a bit like those of her aunt.
On the other hand, the father and son came in later.
Cousin Zhao Dongping looks more like his uncle Zhao Hongwen. Both father and son are bookish.
It is said that her aunt Zhou Lijuan originally took a fancy to her uncle Zhao Hongwen.
Just like him like this.
I don't like that kind of rich and powerful man, so I just turned down many people with better conditions and married Zhao Hongwen.
My cousin Zhao Chunping was originally going to be in the second semester of her senior year at a high school in the county this year.
My cousin Zhao Dongping is going to high school for the first semester.
But because of the chaos in the county today, school teachers are often reported and paraded through the streets.
The students were completely unable to study well and the school was closed.
The Zhao siblings returned to the village.
It happened to be time to sow seeds recently, and they were all old enough to start working, so they followed their parents to work in the fields every day.
