Zhang Siyu was involved in a car accident. When she opened her eyes again, she was in a small fishing village in the 1960s, as Cheng Zhenzhu, a widow single-handedly raising three children.
T...
Cheng Zhenzhu glanced at Liu Tiao, met his cunning gaze, and teased, "No need, Mom has tried it, it's averagely spicy."
Liu Tiao swallowed his saliva, turned his eyes and said, "Mom, I'm here to taste it for Qi Tiao and Ba Tiao. They can't handle something so spicy, so I'm here to see if I can handle it first."
When Qi Tiao heard this, he quickly turned his head and said, "Mom, I'm not afraid of spicy food."
"Sure, sure!" Yatiao said quickly, so that he wouldn't be able to eat much later.
Cheng Zhenzhu was amused by this. Liu Tiao was really good at planning things out. This was a direct "troublemaker". Anyway, he didn't lose anything... Seeing that the other fish were all greedy, Liu Tiao's eyes were almost falling out of the basin, Cheng Zhenzhu asked everyone to try two first to satisfy their craving.
Several strips of silk started moving instantly. After one strip was clipped, two strips were clipped. After two strips were clipped, six strips were pulled into the queue to be clipped.
He slowly picked up one of the three and put it in his mouth.
"Mom, it's not spicy, you can eat it." After sucking on one, Ba Tiao's eyes lit up and he didn't forget to emphasize this.
Qi Tiao also said it wasn't spicy. He can handle spicier food now than last year. Although he likes stir-fried leeks, he also likes this. The spicier, the more flavorful!
"It's good as long as it's not spicy." She deliberately used less chili pepper. Cheng Zhenzhu smiled, heated up the hot pot, added two cloves of garlic, and a dozen leaves of lettuce. "Mom still needs to stir-fry some vegetables, so you guys wait a little longer."
Tonight, I had this bowl of lettuce and a large plate of stir-fried small conch shells, along with a pot of steamed buns made from cornstarch and white flour. The buns had been made earlier and were simply steamed to go with the other dishes. There were twelve buns in the pot, and Cheng Zhenzhu steamed five more.
Three of them were hers, and the other fourteen were for the others. One, two, and six were now the ones who needed to eat three large steamed buns. Three could eat one and a half, eight could eat one and a half, and seven could eat one, with the occasional extra bite. So, one extra bun was given to them so they could share...
They always eat rice, and occasionally have steamed buns, which are still delicious. Six people hold the big steamed buns and take a bite of the spicy and delicious conch meat, their expressions are extremely satisfied.
"Hmm~" Jiu Tiao in Cheng Zhenzhu's arms saw that he couldn't eat, and he got anxious. He drooled and his little hands were busy rummaging around to get food.
This gluttonous soul awakened so early... Cheng Zhenzhu was amused and brought him a bottle. "This is yours, drink it."
"Woo~" Jiujo was unhappy, throwing the bottle away and starting to mess around again. This time he used his feet to do it, as if he would not give up.
One, two, and three sucked on the conch, feeling as if they were seeing Six as a child. But Six had been much bigger than Nine back then. How could Nine, so tiny, have already started?
Cheng Zhenzhu is relieved to see Jiu Tiao so energetic, but as a little baby who is not even five months old, he should just drink the milk powder...
After howling for a while in vain, the hungry Jiu Tiao had no choice but to compromise. He picked up the bottle and drank the milk powder with grievance. However, his eyes kept glancing at the table, which showed that he was "in Cao's camp but his heart was with Han."
The baby was content to keep the bottle, so Cheng Zhenzhu continued to enjoy her meal. It's true, living by the sea is wonderful; everything is readily available. The conch meat is firm, tender, and delicious, and it's incredibly tasty with any topping...
"Mom, can we eat again tomorrow? Let's grab two buckets." Liu Tiao was already looking forward to tomorrow, and had a clear understanding of himself. "Now I can eat more."
After saying that, Six added, "Seven and Eight too," and gave each of them a small conch.
"Crab, crab~" Seven and Eight held their bowls, somewhat flattered. Six-year-old brother was being really nice today! But there's still some in the bowl, they can grab some for themselves...
"Sixth brother, take care of Seven and Eight." Six smiled. He could still tell the difference between a single conch and a whole conch. And he was taking them from the basin, not from his bowl.
Cheng Zhenzhu simply couldn't bear to watch, Liu Tiao was really full of eight hundred tricks and had eaten all of them... "Sure, just bring it back and deal with it yourself."
"Okay!" Ichijo nodded vigorously.
The next day, after breakfast, he immediately set off with his five younger brothers. Carrying three buckets, he set off with such confidence that the children on the island couldn't help but make way for him.
Another child has arrived in their family, so now there are six of them walking outside. When the one who can walk can walk, there will be seven, and they will be even more defeated! If you can't beat them, join them. The children on the island are very sensible and quickly catch up with the team to see if they can help or something.
Yu Xiaolong was the most attentive. He'd thought, since he had nothing to do anyway, it would be nice if one of them gave him a couple of dried sweet potatoes. But why keep so many? If another one showed up, he'd definitely show off...
"Baba, baba~" Jiuji, who was missed by the babies on the island, was now lying in his mother's arms, with his two little hands clasped on his belly, sleeping soundly.
As for waiting for him to be able to run and jump, that would surely worry the children on the island to death...
Ten o'clock in the morning, on the western reef of Sanshi Island.
After Qian Dawei and Zhao Dali disembarked, they looked at each other in bewilderment. When they first boarded the boat, they'd only seen each other's shadows at the bow and stern. Now that they were in person, they all recognized each other.
"Comrade Dawei? Why are you here?" Zhao Dali asked in surprise.
"Old man, Comrade Dali, Comrade Xiaode, what a coincidence." Qian Dawei pursed his lips. "It's a long story. Anyway, I'm here to see the child."
Meeting an old friend again, Qian Dawei had mixed feelings. When Jiamu and the others were in trouble, he had gone to Caoshi to handle things, and Comrade Weimin and Comrade Dali had helped a lot... "Why are you here?"
"We are here to see the children too." Wang Xiongtian said.
"Brother Weimin's child?" Qian Dawei guessed. But why would Brother Weimin's child be here...
"Yeah." Wang Xiongtian nodded, waved his hand, and didn't want to talk anymore.
Qian Dawei then learned from Zhao Dali and Sun Xiaode about Weimin's brother's sacrifice. The baby was born prematurely, the mother remarried, and the old man was seriously ill... Qian Dawei didn't know how to comfort them after hearing this.
"So now the old man has given the child to Sister Cheng to raise." Sun Xiaode said.
Qian Dawei was startled. Sister-in-law Cheng? Which Sister-in-law Cheng? Could it be the Sister-in-law Cheng he was thinking of?
