Lin Qiaoqiao, "Didn't your brother bring back two bones yesterday? I thought since we have so much pickled cabbage at home, I might as well stew some bones with pickled cabbage. Even though there's not much meat on top, as long as the soup is boiled, anything you stew will taste good!"

Qin Ling felt a toothache when he thought of sauerkraut. He had eaten sauerkraut frequently these days, but he no longer liked it. He didn't know why he used to be so greedy when he saw others eating sauerkraut, but now he didn't like it very much.

Lin Qiaoqiao noticed that Qin Ling's expression was not right. She guessed that the child had been eating sauerkraut a lot in recent days and felt that it was too sour. After all, she likes sour food.

However, the sauerkraut stewed today is not sour. I soaked it all night last night and washed it seven or eight times in the morning, so it is definitely not sour.

The dishes were served on the table, along with a plate of freshly-cooked corn tortillas. With the Northeastern soybean paste and green onions, the meal had a strong farm-style flavor.

"Go outside to wash your hands, then eat!" Lin Qiaoqiao fetched a basin of water and went out.

Qin Ling had no choice but to follow him out to wash his hands. He had already prepared himself mentally, as the sauerkraut was very sour.

It turned out that it wasn't sour at all when I put it in my mouth, the taste was amazing.

Lin Qiaoqiao tore off all the meat that could be removed from the bones and divided it into their bowls, and then she started to gnaw on the bones.

Qin Fang mentioned the bones last night and asked them to cook them for lunch, so she stewed them directly.

After he became the factory director, he brought more and more things home. Although the living conditions nowadays cannot be compared with those in the previous life, they are much better than the lives of most people nowadays. Being able to eat meat every now and then and fill the stomach is already very good.

When I went out to do laundry that day, I heard that there were several families who only had one meal a day when they were not working, which was in the evening. They would boil some hot water in the morning and drink it as a meal.

She was stunned by what she heard, and later she learned that the family was quite large, with seven or eight children alone. When the children grew up, they had more children, so mealtime was the most difficult time.

To fill your stomach, you have to eat fast enough.

So in comparison, her life is already very happy, okay?

Qin Ling ate a big pancake and felt full. He thought of what Teacher Song said before school was over.

"Sister-in-law, the day after tomorrow our school will organize a tree pit digging event. Teacher Song asked me to ask you if you can let me go. If you don't let me go, you can let me pretend to be sick!"

"Then do you want to go?" Lin Qiaoqiao looked at him and asked, chewing another bite of corn tortilla in her mouth. The sauerkraut stew was really delicious.

It would be nice if I could get some pork belly and stew it in a pot, but the kids don’t seem to like it very much, so I’d better not make sauerkraut these two days.

"I want to go. I don't want to lie and become a dishonest child!" Qin Ling has been hesitating in his heart these days, wondering whether he should tell them that something is wrong with Teacher Luo.

He was afraid that he was wrong, which would be a huge insult to Teacher Luo. Most importantly, he was afraid that he would not be able to continue studying at school. Where else could he go to study if not here?

He couldn't go to the county town to study, could he? That was something he didn't even dare to think about. He heard that the schools in the county town had everything, with seven or eight teachers and an incredible number of students.

Lin Qiaoqiao couldn't make up her mind either, so she smiled and said to him,

"Wait for your eldest brother to come back in the evening and ask him again. If he agrees, I have no objection!"

"Okay!" Qin Ling smiled happily. He felt that if his sister-in-law agreed, his brother would definitely agree.

After finishing their meal, they rested for a while, and then Lin Qiaoqiao led Qin Chuchu to continue sending Qin Ling to school, deliberately taking the small path instead of the main road.

Qin Ling didn't want others to see him being sent to school by his sister-in-law. Lin Qiaoqiao noticed this little thought and changed his route. He took a small path to school, crossed a small hill, and could go directly to the school gate without having to go through the village.

This road is not easy to walk on. There are weeds and some small gravel on the ground.

Lin Qiaoqiao always holds Qin Chuchu in her arms. The little girl has gained weight recently and she feels chubby when she holds her in her arms.

They arrived at the school gate smoothly and saw Song Jianshe playing with a basketball on the playground. He waved at them.

Qin Ling ran over immediately after seeing this. This teacher liked him very much and often gave him special lessons on questions, saying that they were specially selected for him. Anyway, he found them very interesting, so he especially liked to be with the teacher.

Lin Qiaoqiao successfully completed the task and took Qin Chuchu home. Although she had strength, she couldn't always hold the child.

Qin Chuchu's development may not have been very good when she was a child. She liked to fall down when she walked, so she had to be held tightly.

"I want to go to school too!" Qin Chuchu muttered.

"That will take another two years, you're still young now!" Lin Qiaoqiao felt that this was the only bad thing about the village. There was no kindergarten and the number of children she could interact with was limited.

The older children have all gone to school, and the younger children are kept at home. There are either rivers or streams surrounding the house, and the parents are afraid that something might happen to their children.

Apart from washing clothes, Li Xiaoyan also looks after the children at home, saying that it will be fine when the children grow up and go to school. She also cooks for everyone, repeating her daily routine.

Thinking of Li Xiaoyan's sudden decision to visit, "How about I take you to the mountains to play?"

"Okay! Okay!" Qin Chuchu thought of the chubby little brother Dashan. She liked him because he was younger than her.

Cao Dewang's son is named Cao Dashan. It's a name that sounds easy to pronounce. It may seem awkward the first time you hear it, but it won't be so awkward after you hear it.

"Sister-in-law, when can you give birth to a younger brother for me?" Qin Chuchu asked again.

Lin Qiaoqiao: ...

"Even if I give birth to a child, you can't call her brother, because she has to call you aunt, and you are older than her!" He could only patiently explain to the little girl.

Qin Chuchu seemed to understand, but she knew that if her sister-in-law gave birth to a child, she would have to call her aunt.

"So when can I become an aunt?"

"You have to ask your brother!" Lin Qiaoqiao didn't know how to answer so she just pushed it to Qin Fang. Maybe the little girl would forget about it after playing for a while.

Qin Chuchu silently took note of it in her heart and decided to go back and ask her brother when she could become his aunt.

When I arrived at Li Xiaoyan's house, I saw Cao Dashan playing with a ball in the yard!

The pink ball was covered with mud and looked dirty, but the child played with it and ran around.

Li Xiaoyan was squatting beside the basin washing diapers. She was washing so intently that she didn't notice someone coming to the door.

"Xiaoyan!" Lin Qiaoqiao could only shout first, and then opened the door and went in.

Seeing that it was Lin Qiaoqiao who brought Qin Chuchu, she quickly put down the diaper in her hand, then scooped some water from the bucket with a ladle and rinsed her hands.

"What brings you here?"
