A seven-year-old boy is at the age when he can eat. How can he be full with just porridge for every meal? It can be said that Tiedan has not had a full meal since Lin Zhao moved back to her new home with her four children. He is lucky if he can eat until he is 70% full every day.

Huang Xiulan was silent, looking embarrassed, "Third sister-in-law, I'm sorry to have cost you money again. When we move, I'll treat you and the four kids to a meal."

"Hmm?" Lin Zhao looked surprised. "... planning to build another courtyard?"

"Yes." Huang Xiulan was full of hope.

Lin Zhao: "Come to me if you need anything. Don't be so polite."

"good."

Huang Xiulan took the iron pot and went home happily.

Soon, the whole village knew that Lin Zhao had given her sister-in-law a new pot.

My heart is filled with emotion.

"The Chenghuai family is really generous. That's a pot."

"I work at a supply and marketing cooperative, so everything is convenient for me."

"Don't mention it. In the entire team, only the daughters-in-law of the Gu family don't often make trouble. I heard that their family just split up, and the division was so smooth. If it were other families, they could earn a day's wages just for a bowl of rice."

…

When Zhao Liuniang saw the pot, she felt jealous. She wondered if her third brother's wife looked down on her by giving a pot to her eldest sister-in-law.

She was a straightforward person, and her expression showed this thought.

Huang Xiulan laughed at her, "Don't be jealous, Third Sister-in-law has prepared it for you, and you are jealous. You are so grown up, why are you acting like a child?"

Zhao Liuniang was stunned for a moment, then her face lit up with joy, "Really? I have a pot too?"

"How can it be false? My third brother's wife said it herself." Huang Xiulan said angrily.

He squatted down at the kitchen door and washed the pot seriously.

"Oh, my third brother's wife is so nice. I... I don't know how to thank her. How about giving her some money? I have money now that the family has just been divided." Zhao Liuniang felt embarrassed. It would be fine if it was worthless, but the pot was worth several dollars.

"My third sister-in-law wants to make a few quilts and asked me to help. If you feel bad about it, we can make them together and finish them as soon as possible and send them to her." Huang Xiulan said.

Zhao Liuniang helped to water the plants, and the ashes on the pot washed off. "Okay, making a quilt so early?"

"He does it a lot." Huang Xiulan guessed.

Zhao Liuniang sighed, "It would be great if we could get a few kilograms of cotton someday."

The quilts, mattresses and cotton clothes in the second room are not warm enough.

After Huang Xiulan left the third branch of the Gu family.

Tiedan ate five fried cakes in a row and drank a bowl of white porridge that was full of rice grains. His stomach, which rarely felt full, finally tasted something real.

I cleaned up the dishes consciously and didn't even want to wipe my mouth, wanting the aroma of the meat to linger a little longer.

When I got to the village, I couldn't help showing off to my friends.

Children: “…”

Hate hate.

…

Gu Yuanshan went to the brigade headquarters to discuss the land division. There were many vacant lots in the village, and the brigade leader told him about several. Gu Yuanshan was not in a hurry to decide, and went home to discuss it with his wife.

The children are all here.

When he finishes speaking...

Libao raised his dark eyes and looked at his parents expectantly, "I want to be close to Yubao!"

Huang Xiulan laughed, "Is this place close?"

"It's okay. It would be better if it could be closer." Libao frowned with a serious expression.

Huang Xiulan didn't object to her youngest son having a good relationship with the third wife. Tiechui was honest and the twins were clever. With those two, Tiechui wouldn't suffer any harm. Besides, they grew up together since childhood. Yu Bao and Heng Bao would have a bright future...how could she not give him a hand?

My third brother’s wife always says that choice is more important than hard work.

They are a couple and they don't have any special abilities, so why not hug the thick legs that are right in front of them?

"Okay, the one that's close." Huang Xiulan said, she looked at Gu Yuanshan, "Let's choose the land that's close to the third room."

Gu Yuanshan had no objection, "Okay, I'll go report back to the captain."

Then he rushed out the door.

"Money, give the money." Huang Xiulan shouted.

Gu Yuanshan walked back, took the money and left.

Libao happily followed, but instead of going to the brigade headquarters, he went to find Yubao and Hengbao.

"Yubao, Hengbao, my family is going to build a new house." As soon as he entered the yard, Libao's excited voice rang out, "It will be more convenient for me to find you in the future."

Heng Bao was even more excited than him, "Where is it, where is it?"

Li Bao scratched his head, "I don't know yet. My father went to find the captain."

"oh."

Time passed quickly as Libao was looking forward to it.

Within a few days, the adobe house in the main house was completed. After it was dried for a few days, the family moved into the new house.

When Lin Zhao came back from get off work, most of the things had been moved.

There was no one at home, and it didn't take long to realize that everyone had gone out to join in the fun.

Lin Zhao carried her things and walked towards the new home in the eldest house.

The new yard is very lively.

There was a buzz of chatter, among which Hengbao's voice was the loudest.

"Wow, Libao has his own house too."

Libao smiled innocently, "You and Yubao can come and stay here too."

"Okay." Hengbao said bluntly.

Listening to this conversation, Lin Zhao walked in.

"Mom!" the twins shouted in unison with cheerful tones.

Lin Zhao responded with a smile.

He put the things on the table and said, "Sister-in-law, this is a gift."

"Is it food?" Tiedan hadn't eaten enough for several days and was craving for everything.

"Yes, egg cake." The meal without oil was not filling, and Tiedan was growing taller and getting hungry quickly. Lin Zhao didn't think he was greedy. The child was very sensible. After eating the oil cake, he sent firewood for three consecutive days.

"Egg cake?" Tiedan swallowed hard and looked at Huang Xiulan with anticipation.

This little brat is eating me out of house and house, Huang Xiulan thought to herself.

Thank Lin Zhao and give each of the children a piece.

Yubao said sensibly, "Aunt, just give us one piece and we'll share it. We'll have dinner soon."

"……become."

Tiedan thought Yubao was stupid and taught him, "Save it and eat it at night."

He always felt hungry at night and wished he had a piece of egg cake to fill his stomach.

"Ah?" Yu Bao looked over blankly. "After brushing your teeth at night, you can't eat anything else, especially sweet things. If you don't brush your teeth after eating... your teeth will get rotten."

trouble.

Tiedan was eating egg cake, focusing on only one thing, "Aren't you hungry?"

"I'm not hungry. I won't be hungry if I have a full meal. If I'm hungry, you can find something to eat, but you need to brush your teeth again." Yu Bao shared the egg cake with his younger brothers and sisters, as solemnly as if he was doing something very important.

Tiedan: "What's there to eat?"

"Beef jerky, rice cakes, prawn candies, rolls..." Yu Bao counted on his hands.

Hengbao sighed, "I like eating dry noodles the most. They are crispy and make a crunchy sound when you bite them. My mom won't let me eat too much."

Tiedan: The cake in my mouth suddenly didn’t smell good anymore. Why did he ask so many questions?

"That's great." He said with envy.

This sound was too sad. Lin Zhao wanted to make some dried sweet potatoes to fill her stomach when she was hungry, but it was not a good idea to say it now. She would talk about it when there was another chance.

She looked around.

It was an ordinary adobe house with four rooms, a kitchen, a front yard for firewood, and a vegetable field and a toilet in the back yard.

"The yard is nice."

Huang Xiulan was quite satisfied, "It's fine as long as I can live here."

Although this house is not as good as a three-bedroom house, it is my own home and it looks very comfortable.

Waiting for the vegetables in the backyard to ripen and hanging red peppers on the beams, the life will be even more beautiful.

Gu Lan came out of the house, wearing a newspaper-covered hat on his head. Seeing Lin Zhao's dark eyes, he smiled, "Third Aunt."

By drinking chicken soup and eating eggs every day, the wound on her head healed quickly without leaving any scars, and even the skin on her forehead became much smoother.

Because there was a gap between the skin on the little girl's forehead and face, Lin Zhao couldn't help but give A Lan a box of cold cream. After a few days, her face became much smoother.

"Are you done packing?" Lin Zhao asked.

Gu Lan smiled shyly, "Soon."

Lin Zhao pointed to another package on the table and said, "There's a bed sheet in there. It's for you."

It feels so refreshing to be an elder, especially when dealing with situations like this, it is very useful.

Gu Lan was stunned. After coming to his senses, he waved his hands and said, "Aunt San, I..."

Knowing that she was about to say something to refuse, Lin Zhao interrupted her and said, "I cannot refuse a gift from an elder."

Gu Lan was at a loss and looked at her mother.

Huang Xiulan looked at Lin Zhao, but Lin Zhao didn't look at her. She looked around and it was clear that she was ignoring her.

She said, "Take it and remember your Third Aunt's kindness."

"Yes." Gu Lan responded, and then looked at Lin Zhao, her voice carrying the sweetness of a little girl, "Thank you, Third Aunt."

Lin Zhao waved her hand. She had been to Gu Lan's room and saw the bed sheets there had been patched over and over again and were in tatters. She had long been planning to give her a new bed sheet.

In the Libao room, the lively voices of children can be heard.

"Libao, where is your desk?" Hengbao frowned when he saw that his good brother had no desk.

"It's not ready yet," said Libao.

Glass is expensive, and larger pieces are even more expensive. I didn't have much money for a big house, so I didn't get a three-bedroom one. I installed the most common lattice windows. There is no problem with lighting, but it's not that bright. I didn't install cloth curtains, but hung adjustable bamboo, hemp and straw curtains, which gave a very pastoral feeling.

Yu Bao thought the curtains were beautiful and asked Lin Zhao to look at them.

Lin Zhao heard the sound and walked into the room, and took a look. It was indeed quite nice.

She looked down at her big baby, "Want it?"

The child thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, we have curtains at home." They are colorful.

Lin Zhao saw that he liked it, and perhaps wanted to follow suit, so a gentle smile appeared on her fair face, "If you like it, do it. Go find your grandfather later and we can switch."

Yubao's eyes sparkled, and his chubby little face was filled with a happy smile. "Okay, Hengbao and I will go find Grandpa."

"Okay."

Libao took Yubao and Hengbao's hands and shook them a few times, "I'll go too."

The little head leaned towards the twins and smiled, "We can use the same curtains now."

The twins were also happy.

Children are like this. Using the same thing as their friends can make them happy for a long time.

Libao's bed was made of wooden boards, with thin bedding, and looked deserted.

Lin Zhao always had a bit more pity and love for him. She thought that when the weather got colder, she would get a thick quilt for Libao. The quilts at home needed to be replaced, and the cotton in the old quilt would be re-fluffed to make a new one.

Leaving the new courtyard of the big house, Lin Zhao walked slowly back home.

Amber followed her, skipping along.

It is round and sniffing everywhere, and looks very cute.

No need to be urged, he can always keep up with his master.

When they got home, Lin Zhao took out dog food to feed Amber and added clean water to the basin. Amber wagged her tail.

"Eat slowly." Patting Amber's head, she went to the sink to wash her hands. She was about to cook when she suddenly wanted to eat canned food, so she turned back to her room to get the can.

The yard is very quiet.

Song Yunjin and the Lin sisters returned to their own homes.

The twins, a boy and a girl, were at Gu's mother's place and were usually not sent back until after four o'clock.

Just came out of the kitchen with a spoon.

The twins came back jumping around.

"Canned food?" Hengbao had sharp eyes and spotted the canned food immediately. He slid over quickly and asked, "Canned yellow peaches! Are they for us?" An excited and clear voice sounded.

Yubao's eyes were also shining.

"No." Lin Zhao shook her head deliberately, "I plan to eat alone."

Hearing this, Hengbao's eyes widened and he was dumbfounded.

He didn't think it was too much to eat alone, he just twisted his body and acted like a spoiled child, "Mom, you eat canned food, please leave a few sips of canned water for me and my brother, okay?"

He used his finger to indicate a short gap and stretched out the tone, "Just a little bit, Mom."

Yubao said, "It's okay if you don't keep it. Hengbao and I will drink water, and mom will eat because she works hard."

After hearing what his brother said, although Hengbao was greedy, he did not make a fuss, but nodded in agreement.

Lin Zhao's heart felt as if it was brushed by a feather, tingling and numb. She smiled and said, "Let's eat together."

Surprise appeared on two identical faces and they reached for the spoon.

The two little brothers came back quickly and sat up straight.

Lin Zhao said in a gentle voice, "Don't eat too much. You will have to eat later. Eat half and save the other half for dinner."

"good."

The mother and her two children happily ate the canned food with smiles on their faces.

"What would you like to eat?" Lin Zhao asked.

Yu Bao answered for him, "It's all right."

What's the difference between this and casual? Lin Zhao suddenly wanted to eat noodles and said, "Then let's have tomato and egg noodles. Beat a few more eggs. It's delicious."

Hengbao is not picky about food and clapped his hands expectantly, "Okay, I like noodles."

Lin Zhao looked at him with a smile and said, “You little boy likes to eat everything.”

After dinner.

The sound of clanging gongs rang out in the village.

Hengbao hurried out to watch the fun. The little guy was agile and squeezed into the crowd. He heard the team leader say that the village was going to lay electric wires.

Before anyone else could react, he said, "Captain, do you want to turn on the power?"

The child's voice suddenly rang out, and everyone was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud.

"When did Hengbao squeeze to the front?"

"Hey, Hengbao even knows how to turn on the electricity."

"The Chenghuai family is really brave."

…

The captain replied with a smile: "Yes, our team will have electricity."

"Got it. Thank you, Captain." Hengbao thanked them politely, squeezed out of the crowd, and ran home.

I got home, gasping for breath.

"Why are you running so fast? Aren't you afraid of getting a stitch in the side?" Lin Zhao gently stroked Heng Bao's back.

"Mom, our village is going to have electricity." Hengbao said cheerfully.

"Really? That's great." Lin Zhao rubbed his son's chubby face. "It will be easier to do anything after the electricity is turned on."

Yubao still remembered the TV, "Can I use the TV as long as it's powered on?"

"If you want to buy a TV, you must have a TV ticket. TV tickets are hard to get and I can't buy one right away. But your father and I will remember it and buy it when we have the chance." Lin Zhao's voice was soft.

"Okay." Yubao was looking forward to it, and sensibly comforted his mother, "It's the same if you listen to the radio."

Having electricity in the village is a big deal. The wires cost money, and not everyone is willing to pay for it. The team made a fuss for several days before finally deciding on a time to pull the wires.

On this day, the Harvest Brigade finally pulled up the electric wires.

The members were notified that the electricity would be on at 8 o'clock in the evening.

The whole village is waiting.

Lin Zhao, her four children, two dogs, and a monkey sat in the yard waiting.

The twins were very excited. They didn't say a word and just stared at the light bulb on the beam of their house.

"Mom, what time is it?"

Hengbao asked this question no less than five times.

Lin Zhao answered patiently, "Seven fifty-six."

Heng Bao: "Four more minutes."

"Yes." Lin Zhao was bored waiting, so he asked, "Do you want to eat watermelon?"

Before the twins could say anything, Yaobao threw herself into Lin Zhao's arms and said repeatedly, "Eat, eat."

The twins are growing teeth and are gradually able to eat more things. They think everything is delicious. When they taste something delicious, they will smile with their eyes curved and swing their legs happily.

"I'll go cut the watermelon." Lin Zhao got up and went to the kitchen, turned on the light, opened the cupboard, and took out the watermelons. She knew they couldn't be kept overnight, so she cut them all up.

Bring it to the yard.

"The whole melon has been cut up. If you can't finish it, you two can give half to your grandparents and uncle." Lin Zhao looked at the twins.

"I want to see the lights in our house turned on. I'll go there later." Hengbao said.

"what ever."

A few kids picked up the watermelons and started eating them.

Even Qianbao and Yaobao were given a small piece, and the little brother and sister were so happy that they showed their little white teeth.
