Chapter 49 Chapter 49 Fell into the ditch

"Zhuo Jia, why are you grinning foolishly at home?" Zhang Yunhuan came in from outside and saw Zhuo Jia sitting in the yard grinning foolishly. She asked with some confusion.

It’s a good thing it’s daytime, otherwise it would be scary!

Zhuo Jia suppressed the smile on her face, coughed and said, "It's okay, I missed my boyfriend. What's wrong?"

It’s great to have a partner. Not only does it allow her to not work openly, it also protects her five-digit balance!

Zhang Yunhuan was choked. She remembered that the postman came to the brigade again yesterday to deliver a letter to Zhuo Jia. At that time, everyone thought that Zhuo Jia had been accepted for the manuscript again. Now it seems...

This isn't a manuscript being accepted, this is a letter from a man!

"It's nothing. My parents sent me some money and I'm going to collect it. Do you want to go to the county to play?" Zhang Yunhuan ignored Zhuo Jia's first sentence and answered the second question.

Every time I go to the county to collect money, it is the happiest time!

Zhuo Jia thought about it and nodded: "Go."

The temperature is not high today, and there is wind, so it is cool and suitable for going out. Qiao Anchuan's salary has also been transferred to me, so I collected it together.

So the two idle people who hit it off immediately rode their bicycles out. As for how others were busy with their lives, they didn't care at all, nor did they dare to care.

Zhang Yunhuan sat on the back of the bicycle, stretched out his arms, and shouted excitedly: "I like autumn, I hate summer the most."

It was really not easy for her, she actually managed to survive the summer.

Zhuo Jia kindly reminds you: "Autumn is very short, and when it's over, winter will come."

The most important thing is that it may be a little cooler today, but it might be hot tomorrow. After all, it was hot yesterday!

"Ptah, pah, pah, don't say unlucky words. Enjoy every day you can." Zhang Yunhuan quickly spat a few times and said with a dissatisfied look on his face.

It's such nice weather, why say those depressing words?

Zhuo Jia: "..."

Okay, let’s enjoy today first!

Zhang Yunhuan, who was sitting in the back seat, suddenly thought of something and reminded Zhuo Jia, "We need to heat the kang in winter. Don't forget to prepare firewood."

Now Zhuo Jia uses a coal stove to cook, and she is afraid that Zhuo Jia will forget to heat the kang in winter!

Zhuo Jia nodded: "I'll remember that. When the weather gets cooler, I'll find a way to get some firewood."

She had already made up her mind to leave the task of getting firewood to Zhuzi. This kid was efficient at work and had a group of kids under him. Finding Zhuzi was like finding a group of people. How could she miss such a good thing?

Since Zhuo Jia knew it, Zhang Yunhuan didn't say anything more. As for how Zhuo Jia got so much firewood, ha, did she need to worry about it?

I'm afraid the whole brigade will have no firewood to burn in winter, but Zhuo Jia's house will be full of firewood. This is strength!

Zhuo Jia, who was indeed very capable, was tired, so she stopped the bike decisively, turned around and said, "I'm tired, it's your turn to ride."

She didn't have as much strength as Sun Ye, so she couldn't carry someone and ride all the way to the county in one breath!

Zhang Yunhuan felt the cool breeze and nodded readily: "Okay, I'll take you with me."

I have worn it when the weather was so hot, and now that the weather is cooler, there is no problem at all!

So for the rest of the journey, Zhang Yunhuan, in a good mood, took Zhuo Jia to the county post office in one breath, stopped the car, and said to Zhuo Jia, "Lock the car."

Zhuo Jia: "..."

She thought Zhang Yunhuan was crazy and had a problem with his brain, so it was okay for her to give in to him!

After locking the car, Zhuo Jia and Zhang Yunhuan walked into the post office side by side. Without making any phone calls, they went directly to the counter to withdraw the money. Zhuo Jia withdrew the money and then deposited it into the passbook, which was the passbook that Qiao Anchuan had given her before.

Zhang Yunhuan looked at the money in his hand and said with satisfaction, "Let's go to the state-owned restaurant."

Because of the hot weather, they haven't eaten Chef Cao's signature braised pork for a long time. They start drooling just thinking about the taste!

Zhuo Jia licked her lips and nodded vigorously: "Let's go."

She hadn't used the five kilograms of meat coupons that she asked Lin Yu to exchange for her yet, so she had the money and the coupons and was confident!

The two hit it off immediately and rode their bikes to the state-owned restaurant. The world is big, but eating is the most important thing.

Ahem, because they were too active, they arrived a little early. When they arrived at the state-owned restaurant, it had just opened for a short while, but at least it was open.

"Comrade Xie, we'd like one serving of braised pork and one serving of dumplings."

That’s right, these two people who had both meat tickets and money were so generous that they only ordered meat dishes!

Hearing this, Xie Yu looked up and saw two familiar faces standing outside. She nodded, took the money and receipt, and wrote out the bill: "Sit down and wait. I'll call you when the food is ready."

She had a particularly deep memory of these two female comrades. Not only did they always eat braised pork every time they came, but they also came more frequently than the average person...

Apart from that, the way these two people spoke and acted was completely different from other people in the county. They looked like educated youth from big cities!

Zhuo Jia and Zhang Yunhuan had been here many times, so they were very familiar with the process. They found an empty table by the window and sat down. Almost as soon as they sat down, people started to come in at the state-owned restaurant, and it instantly became lively.

Zhang Yunhuan went to serve the food and came back with a look of relief saying, "The braised pork is gone. Luckily we came early."

It was so almost like that. I almost couldn’t eat the braised pork that I had been craving for.

Zhuo Jia glanced at her, picked up her chopsticks and ate a piece of braised pork first, then comforted her: "We are the first ones to come in. Others can't eat, but we will definitely be able to eat too."

If the first one to come in doesn’t get a meal, then the two of them will make a fuss!

Seeing that she had already started eating, Zhang Yunhuan hurriedly started eating as well, while mumbling, "You're right, we should get up early next time."

If you don't eat early, there's something wrong with your brain.

The two of them stopped talking and ate a mouthful of braised pork and a serving of dumplings, neither of them giving in. The end result was that they both finished a whole serving of braised pork and a whole serving of dumplings.

When they went out, both of them were holding their stomachs. They really ate too much today.

Standing next to the bicycle, Zhuo Jia looked at the lock on it and asked Zhang Yunhuan: "I can't bend down because of the support. Can you unlock it?"

As she spoke, she took out the key from her bag and handed it over.

Zhang Yunhuan touched her belly and bent over tentatively...

No, it’s so bloated, let alone bending over, she even finds it difficult to lower her head!

The two good-for-nothings looked at each other for a long time, and finally found a kind passerby and asked him to help open the lock.

Zhuo Jia put the lock away, held the bicycle and said, "Okay, push it and go for a stroll."

Fortunately, it’s not hot today, so I can just walk slowly to help digest the food!

Zhang Yunhuan nodded and walked forward beside her, rubbing her belly with her hands. She shook her head and said, "We can't do this. Overeating is not good for our health."

The most important thing is, it makes them look so useless!

"Next time we come, we won't order so much. Just one serving of braised pork and two steamed buns will be enough." Zhuo Jia agreed.

I have to restrain myself, otherwise it would be really embarrassing!

The two people who both felt embarrassed became very quiet after that. They took turns pushing the bicycle and rubbing their stomachs. It was not until they arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative that Zhuo Jia could barely bend down and lock the bicycle.

"Let's go and take a look inside." Zhuo Jia put the key in her bag and took a deep breath.

She was running low on canned food at home and wondered if she could buy some more today. She was also out of egg cake, so she had to buy some, as well as the most consumed sugar and melon seeds...

Zhang Yunhuan said, "I came here with cloth coupons this time. I want to buy some cloth. My mother asked if she could find a way to get me some cotton. I need a thick cotton-padded jacket for winter."

The cotton-padded jacket she brought was a bit thin, which was fine for winter, but if she waited until the coldest part of winter...

She can't just lie on the kang every day!

Zhuo Jia, who was listening to this, paused. She turned around and asked Zhang Yunhuan, "What did you say you were going to do?"

Zhang Yunhuan looked at her inexplicably and said, "Making a cotton-padded jacket? What's wrong?"

To make sure she had heard correctly, Zhuo Jia raised her hand and hit herself on the forehead. When she got married, she had thought of bringing one for Zhang Yunhuan when she made her own cotton-padded jacket. After all, Zhang Yunhuan had given her a red dress.

As a result, I was obsessed with making money during this period and forgot about this important matter!

But it doesn’t matter, it’s not too late to think about it now. As long as you have enough money, making a cotton-padded jacket is easy. If it’s not easy, it means you don’t have enough money!

So they went into the supply and marketing cooperative. Zhang Yunhuan went to buy things, and Zhuo Jia went straight to Lin Yu, her dear cousin.

Seeing her, Lin Yu became excited and asked, "Hey, why don't you fan yourself at home? Why did you dare to go out?"

She hadn't seen anyone for more than half a month, and she thought she had lost her mind because of the fan!

Hearing this, Zhuo Jia skillfully grabbed a handful of White Rabbit candies from her bag and handed them over: "It's a cool day today, so I came out for a walk and bought some food."

Lin Yu is good at everything except that she loves White Rabbit Milk Candy too much, and coincidentally, she has plenty of White Rabbit Milk Candy!

Sure enough, Lin Yu couldn't control her appetite after receiving the White Rabbit candy. She looked at Zhuo Jia and asked, "Oh, you're talking so seriously, what do you want to buy?"

It's not like she hasn't been to Zhuo Jia's house before, so she knows what it's like. They already have a fan, so what else is there to buy?

Hearing this, Zhuo Jia smiled. She approached Lin Yu and said, "Cousin, I want to buy two winter cotton-padded jackets. Do you have any ideas? Money is not a problem."

Zhuo Jia almost leaned over to Lin Yu's ear to say the last sentence!

She is still very cautious about these things, and she will never allow anyone to ruin her current good life.

As for Lin Yu, well, Lin Yu was even more scared than her!

Lin Yu: “…”

She looked at Zhuo Jia in shock. The White Rabbit candy in her hand suddenly lost its fragrance. She looked at Zhuo Jia in disbelief and asked, "Are you serious?"

If I remember correctly, when Zhuo Jia got married some time ago, she just bought a set of quilts, and now she needs to buy cotton clothes...

What's going on? Is cotton so worthless?

Zhuo Jia was also helpless: "No, when have I ever lied about something like this?"

Never, well, as a generous and wealthy customer, she not only keeps her promises, but also never delays paying!

Lin Yu shook his head without even thinking: "Never."

Having worked in the supply and marketing cooperative for such a long time, she and others have done some things that they should not do, but she is the first one who is as generous and long-lasting as Zhuo Jia. They are almost like sisters!

"That's it, you think of a solution." Zhuo Jia snorted and said seriously.

Lin Yu had a way to deal with such a thick quilt back then, so now this cotton coat is a piece of cake for him!

It was indeed a trivial matter. Lin Yu: "..."

She sighed and said, "I understand, but you have to be mentally prepared."

When she said this, she gestured, meaning that the price would definitely not be low!

Zhuo Jia nodded: "I'm prepared, don't worry."

Zhuo Jia, who has already spent a lot of money to make two sets of bedding, is very serious.

Hearing this, Lin Yu asked someone to help watch the counter, and she took Zhuo Jia to the warehouse with a tape measure to measure the size. Ahem, although the two had a good relationship, as a middleman, she made a living from this, so it was naturally impossible for her to take Zhuo Jia directly to find someone. She could only take the size there herself.

But this was also what she and the master had agreed upon. Once she told this to a third person, the deal could be terminated. For many things, the fewer people who know about it, the safer it is!

Zhuo Jia couldn't help but give her opinion. After Lin Yu had measured the size, she said, "Make a thin one, a thick one, and, by the way, make a cotton-padded jacket for my friend outside."

Take it slow, take it slow, otherwise you might get kicked out if you say too much at the beginning!

Lin Yu just rolled her eyes at her and said nothing. As for measuring Zhang Yunhuan's size, that was unnecessary because they were about the same size!

She simply asked Zhuo Jia, "Am I responsible for the fabrics and other things?"

I know the answer, but I have to ask!

Zhuo Jia nodded: "Well, I leave it all to you. Just don't make it too dark."

She is only eighteen years old this year. Although she married young, she still has to dress according to her age.

Besides, it will be 76 years after the Chinese New Year, and the cotton clothes she made will not be worn only for the next two years. People should take a long-term view!

Lin Yu nodded and patted his chest to assure: "Don't worry about my vision."

If she had poor vision, she wouldn't have been able to develop so many businesses!

Zhuo Jia was reassured about Lin Yu's vision. She asked how much it cost and finally gave him six big unity coins. When they left the warehouse, they were both satisfied.

For Zhuo Jia, with six pieces of great unity, they don’t have to worry about anything, whether it’s fabric or cotton, including the handwork, they don’t have to worry about anything. Six pieces of great unity are simply too cheap.

After Zhuo Jia left, she asked Lin Yu to take her to Aunt Tu to buy ten cans of food. It would be impossible to buy them without someone she knew.

When Zhuo Jia and Zhang Yunhuan left, they both bought a lot. Fortunately, they brought backpacks when they came, otherwise they would not know how they would get back!

When he got home, Zhang Yunhuan jumped off his bicycle, stretched himself, and said, "Another day."

I don’t know how many days it will take before I can return to the city.

In response to this, Zhuo Jia rolled her eyes at the other person: "Don't use the word 'endure'. If you endure all this, what will happen to the people who have to work?"

Is that another day of living a life worse than death?

Zhang Yunhuan thought this made sense, so she nodded and said, "I see. I should say I've enjoyed another day of happiness."

Zhuo Jia: "..."

It would be better if the expression on Zhang Yunhuan’s face was not so ferocious when he said this!

"Okay, let's go home." Zhuo Jia waved her hands and said unhappily.

Let’s go quickly, otherwise what if she gets mad to death?

After Zhang Yunhuan left, Zhuo Jia packed up the things in the backpack and fell asleep on the bed. It was such a cool day, perfect for sleeping!

When Zhuo Jia opened her eyes again, it was completely dark. She raised her hand to turn on the light, and got up yawning. Oh no, she slept too much and had a headache!

She got up and opened a can of fruit. After eating it, she felt alive again. She touched her belly and went for a walk in the yard. When it got dark, she remembered how much work she still had to do.

She first broke off half a steamed bun to feed the dog, then filled a bucket with water and began watering the flowers and the small peach tree she had finally grown. After finishing all the yard work, she strolled to the backyard. Such a large piece of land could not be wasted...

Well, because she is lazy, she always wants to ask her sister-in-law for help in everything, so until now, there is nothing edible growing in the backyard except weeds!

It seems that we can’t delay any longer. She encouraged herself and decided to find someone to help tomorrow!

Coming out of the backyard, Zhuo Jia felt tired, even though she had just gotten up...

But she soon lay down in the rocking chair in the yard!

She looked up at the starry sky and thought, "Well, tomorrow will definitely be a sunny day." She felt the cool breeze and thought, "Tomorrow should be a sunny day with wind."

"Woof woof woof."

The puppy barked twice, and Zhuo Jia sat up straight. When she heard footsteps outside, she lay down again. It turned out that someone was passing by. But soon, she sat up again because the passerby knocked on the door of the neighbor's brother and sister-in-law's house.

Listening to the extremely rapid knocking on the door, the lights turning on in the yard next door, and the hurried footsteps, Zhuo Jia walked towards the door with some worry. She had to be worried, because there was no difference between knocking on the door and smashing it. What big thing happened?

When Zhuo Jia opened the door, the conversation outside had already ended. She only vaguely heard someone fall into a ditch and had been sent to the hospital.

She thought about it carefully. If it was her father-in-law or mother-in-law, they would definitely call her. Now that they didn't call her, it was most likely someone from her eldest sister-in-law's family.

Sure enough, before she went back, her elder brother and sister-in-law came hurriedly.

"Jia Jia, my father fell and went to the hospital. Your brother and I would like to borrow your bicycle." Qian Yulan said anxiously with red eyes.

How can I not be anxious? Her father is almost sixty years old. What if he can't get out of the hospital...

Seeing her sister-in-law's anxious look, Zhuo Jia didn't dare to say anything. She just pointed to the yard and said, "The car is in the yard. It hasn't been pushed into the house yet."

While her eldest brother was pushing the cart, Zhuo Jia quickly said, "Brother and sister-in-law, brother and sister-in-law, you don't have to rush back. I will take care of Xiao Wei and the other three."

The point is that Xiaowei has to go to school and get up early to cook.

Qian Yulan, anxious, had completely forgotten that she had three children. Upon hearing this, she quickly said, "Jia Jia, I'll trouble you with the three of them."

Now she was so flustered that she couldn't care about anything else.

Zhuo Jia nodded: "I know, brother and sister-in-law, please be careful on the road."

Thinking of something, Zhuo Jia quickly ran into the house to get a flashlight. Some time ago, when she was catching cicada monkeys, she lent her flashlight to Zhuzi and the others. Later, the flashlight ran out of power, so she replaced the batteries.

She handed the flashlight to her sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, the road is not clear, you can shine the light for my brother from behind."

There are stars and the moon in the sky, so a flashlight won't be very useful. I'm just afraid I can't see there, and what if I fall into a ditch...

Bah, bah, bah, I don’t want to see such unlucky things!

Watching her elder brother and sister-in-law riding away on their bicycles, Zhuo Jia was about to close the door and go home when she saw Qiao Wei standing at the next door, which scared her.

Zhuo Jia quickly walked over and asked, "Xiao Wei, what are you doing standing here?"

The child stood there silently, and it was really scary at first glance.

Qiao Wei raised his head, frowned, and asked, "Second Aunt, is my grandpa okay?"

It was night time, and he had younger brothers and sisters at home who needed to be taken care of, so he was sensible and didn't ask to go to the hospital with his parents, but he was really worried!

Zhuo Jia shook her head and told the truth: "I don't know either, but I know the only thing you can do now is to take good care of yourself, take good care of your younger siblings, and not let your parents worry."

She didn't go to the hospital, so how could she know how serious the injuries were? But from the fact that he came to call out for his married daughter so late at night, she felt that the situation might not be very good.

After all, as far as she knew, her sister-in-law was the oldest daughter in the family and had five older brothers, so if the problem was not serious, she would definitely not come over overnight.

Qiao Wei: “…”

He was already panicking, and suddenly became even more panicked after hearing what Second Aunt said, but...

Don’t panic!

He pursed his lips and said, "Well, Second Aunt, I'll go back and take care of my younger brothers and sisters first."

As the eldest child in the family, he should fulfill his obligations as an eldest brother and help his parents take care of his younger siblings when his parents are not around.

Zhuo Jia nodded, and at the same time did not forget to say: "By the way, you can just come to my house tomorrow morning. I have told your parents that you can have white rice porridge and pickles."

It's good enough that she can get up and cook, but she wants to have higher expectations, which she can't do.

Qiao Wei nodded: "I understand, thank you, Second Aunt."

After saying that, he smiled at Zhuo Jia, and then walked home like a little adult.

After Qiao Wei returned home, Zhuo Jia also followed him home. Sleep, sleep, sleep quickly, because she had to get up early to cook tomorrow!

…

The next morning, Zhuo Jia got up with squinting eyes, turned on the stove first, then went to wash her hands. After washing her hands, she began to prepare breakfast. After putting the pot on the coal stove, Zhuo Jia went to wash up again.

Well, before she finished cleaning up, she heard her mother-in-law talking next door. It seemed that she was here to take care of the three children. She hurried back to the room to change clothes, then opened the door and went next door.

When she arrived at the next yard, she saw Qiao Wei taking his younger brother and sister to wash up, while her mother-in-law...

Off to the backyard to help feed the chickens!

Zhuo Jia: "..."

Yes, she only said yesterday that she would help take care of the three children, but she didn't say anything about helping take care of these non-humans in the backyard. If she were asked to take care of them, she would probably be taken care of until she got conceived!

"Second Aunt, we'll pack it up now," Qiao Wei raised his head and said seriously.

In fact, he usually gets up earlier than today, but he knew that his second aunt gets up late, so he let his younger brothers and sisters sleep a little longer today!

Zhuo Jia glanced at the time and said, "Don't worry, but when you go over later, just carry your schoolbag with you. That way, you don't have to come back to get your schoolbag after dinner."

Well, it was her first time making breakfast for students, so she didn’t have much experience. She was also afraid that Xiaowei would be late for class today.

When Liu Hongying heard this, she came over from the backyard and said, "It's okay. If you're running out of time, I'll ride my bike to take Xiaowei there."

She doesn't have too many requirements for her second daughter-in-law, as long as she can take good care of herself. Now she suddenly asks her second daughter-in-law to take care of three children, and it's good enough that she can get up early and cook for them!

Zhuo Jia nodded, and she quickly said, "The meal is almost ready, and we'll be able to eat soon."

Fortunately, there is a stove, otherwise Xiao Wei would most likely have to go to school on an empty stomach today. It’s too miserable to think about it.

After saying this, Zhuo Jia went home first. The rice porridge and eggs were cooking on the way, but the pickles had not been cut yet, so she had to eat them quickly.

Thinking that there was no staple food at home, Zhuo Jia was worried that Qiao Wei would not have enough to eat. There is a saying that goes, "The little boy eats his father out of money", which shows that the little boy is a big eater. So Zhuo Jia took out a few pieces of egg cakes, and told him to eat them as steamed buns.

When Liu Hongying came over with her three grandchildren, she saw the second eldest's family carrying bowls into the main hall, so she quickly asked her eldest grandson to help.

Zhuo Jia asked Xiao Wei to bring the last bowl of porridge over. She looked at the remaining porridge in the pot and shouted, "Mom, have you eaten yet?"

Liu Hongying said without thinking: "I have eaten."

She had already seen that her daughter-in-law had white rice porridge in the morning, with eggs and egg cakes on the table. It was really...

The three grandchildren are in for a treat!

Zhuo Jia poked her head out of the kitchen and asked, "Mom, are you full?"

It was her first time cooking for so many people, and she didn’t control herself well and put too much rice and water. There should have been another bowl left in the pot!

In the main hall, Liu Hongying was about to shout that she was full when her eldest grandson Qiao Wei whispered to her, "Grandma, it seems Second Aunt cooked too much!"

When he picked up the bowl, he saw that there was still porridge in the pot, but four bowls had already been served.

Hearing that there was still some thick rice porridge left in the pot, Liu Hongying walked to the kitchen without saying a word, saying as she walked: "Although I have already eaten, I think I can eat some more!"

She thought it was okay for her to try such delicious white rice porridge.

So Zhuo Jia served the remaining bowl of porridge in the pot to her mother-in-law, then added water to the pot and walked into the main room.

When she arrived at the main room, she looked at the six eggs on the table and felt relieved. Fortunately, she liked to cook a few more eggs and save them for lunch. Otherwise, only she and her three children would have to eat them, and her mother-in-law would see them. How embarrassing it would be!

"Eat eggs, one per person." Zhuo Jia was worried that others would feel embarrassed to take them, so she gave one to each of them.

Without waiting for anyone else to speak, she continued, "I don't have any steamed buns. If you don't have enough, just help yourself to the egg cakes. Just don't go hungry."

Let’s not talk about her mother-in-law for now. The key point is the three children. Her eldest brother and sister-in-law finally entrusted the children to her once, and now they are letting the three children not have enough to eat...

Then her conscience will really hurt!

Although she had already eaten, Liu Hongying took one look at the fan in the corner of the main room and swallowed her refusal. She just had to eat and drink, and there was no need to be polite with her daughter-in-law.

With someone taking the lead, the three children didn't hesitate to eat, so by the end, Zhuo Jia ate the least, a bowl of porridge and an egg, while the others...

Even her mother-in-law and the youngest son, Qiao Peng, who had already had breakfast, drank a bowl of porridge, ate an egg and a piece of egg cake!

Zhuo Jia didn’t know how they managed to eat, but she knew she definitely couldn’t eat any more. She was so full!

Liu Hongying looked at Zhuo Jia and said, "You eat too little."

Isn’t it just too little? A bowl of porridge and an egg, can it last until noon?

But she also understood why her daughter-in-law didn't go to work. It was because she ate little and would really faint from hunger if she went to work.

Zhuo Jia smiled: "Mom, I'm full."

After saying that, she glanced at the time again and said to Qiao Wei, "It's half past seven now. If you walk faster, you shouldn't be late."

There is no primary school in their brigade, so if they want to go to school, they have to go to the next brigade!

When Qiao Wei heard this, he said affirmatively: "I won't be late. Grandma, Second Aunt, brothers and sisters, I'm going to school."

After saying that, he ran out!

After Qiao Wei left, Zhuo Jia fell silent as she looked at the dishes on the table. Five dishes, how long would it take to wash them all?

Noticing her gaze, Liu Hongying stood up resignedly and said, "You take care of Xiaoru and Xiaopeng. I'll go wash the dishes."

This daughter-in-law is good in every way except this one thing. But no one is perfect, so this is the best!

"Okay, Mom, thank you for your hard work." Zhuo Jia didn't feel embarrassed at all.

After saying this, she took Xiaoru and Xiaopeng to play in the yard. As for how to play...

What else does she do besides teaching children?

Liu Hongying finished washing the pots and pans, took off her apron and walked out. Seeing that Zhuo Jia had no problem taking care of the two children, she said, "I have to go to the hospital with your father. You take good care of the two children at home. I will cook for you when I come back at noon."

If they go early, they will probably come back in time to make lunch!

Zhuo Jia nodded vigorously, but she did not forget to remind: "Mom, there are no vegetables at home."

The staple food could be steamed rice, but there was really no vegetable. She was penniless without a vegetable garden!

Liu Hongying nodded helplessly: "Okay, I understand."

Shouldn't she be thankful that her second brother's family didn't let her bring the steamed buns?

Zhuo Jia glanced at the two children squatting on the ground studying obediently, and her heart softened. So she stood up and walked towards the main room: "Mom, please wait for me a moment."

She took out a pound of meat coupons and a dollar from the house, then came out and stuffed them directly into her mother-in-law's hands.

"Mom, please buy another pound of meat. If there are any big bones that don't require tickets, I'll buy two." Zhuo Jia said seriously.

Buy some meat to nourish the child and her parents-in-law!

Liu Hongying was stunned when she saw the money in her hand. This was the first time someone gave her money to buy something. She smiled and nodded. "Okay, I understand. I'll go now."

She knew that she had good taste. Look, such a good daughter-in-law is hers!

In fact, for Zhuo Jia, taking care of children is really simple, especially children nowadays. She doesn't need to worry about it at all. She taught the two children a few words and then went to lie in the rocking chair.

The two children, the older one leading the younger one, did not run around, but ran back and forth in the yard and at the door. Oh, and they even played with the puppy in the middle!

When Aunt Ding came, the two children were playing with the puppy.

"Auntie Ding, why are you here?" Zhuo Jia asked curiously.

She was really curious. Why didn't Aunt Ding chat with Aunt Li and the others on this warm day?

Aunt Ding glanced at the two children who were having fun and asked Zhuo Jia in a low voice, "Do you know what happened to your sister-in-law's father?"

Zhuo Jia: "..."

Looking at Aunt Ding's curious eyes, Zhuo Jia was speechless. She knew that Aunt Ding came to see her at this time because of something happening in her sister-in-law's family, but she really knew nothing.

Zhuo Jia, who knew nothing, shook her head honestly: "I don't know, I just know he's in the hospital. After breakfast this morning, my parents-in-law also went to the hospital."

She didn't go out or go to the hospital, so how could she know so much? To be honest, she suspected that she didn't know as much as Aunt Ding.

Thinking of this, Zhuo Jia also lowered her voice and asked, "Auntie Ding, you're talking about my sister-in-law's father falling into a ditch, but why did he fall into a ditch when he was fine?"

She couldn't understand it. After all, the moon was quite bright last night, so it was impossible for her to fall into the ditch!

Oh, except with your eyes closed!

Aunt Ding slapped her thigh and said excitedly, "I heard that he went out for a stroll after dinner yesterday. When he came back, he didn't look at the road and fell directly into the ditch. Fortunately, someone was there and rescued him in time. Otherwise, I'm not sure what would have happened."

When she said the last three words, Aunt Ding couldn't help but shook her head.

Well, these are what she heard this morning. As for what happened after going to the hospital, she didn’t know, but she seemed to have heard that the situation was not good.

Zhuo Jia had already speculated about this last night, so her expression didn't change much. She simply said, "My eldest brother and sister-in-law haven't returned from the hospital yet. I don't know how they're doing now."

Well, she is just a babysitter at home, so she doesn’t know anything!

Aunt Ding wasn't surprised by what she heard. After all, she knew Zhuo Jia a little. She sighed and said, "Your sister-in-law's father wasn't in good health before. Five years ago, he was hospitalized for a serious illness. It was so hard to save his life, and now he's in the hospital again..."

As she spoke, Aunt Ding shook her head again. This time, they were not optimistic!

Zhuo Jia's mouth twitched. Although she had long known that there were no secrets within this brigade, there were no secrets between the various brigade...

This was something she didn't expect!
