Deng Qingling, a recent college graduate, struggled to find work due to the pandemic, so she returned to her hometown. Her grandmother, who passed away from illness, left her a silver bracelet.
...Sure enough, you can tell whether it exists or not as soon as you make a move.
Deng Qingling didn't even ask the price, she just pointed with her little hand and bought a lot of malted milk, White Rabbit milk candy, kelp and longan.
These things exist in the space, but there is a lack of a clear path through them.
The salesperson skillfully packed and weighed the items, and soon all the items were bagged.
If Deng Qingling hadn't carried a small backpack today, she would probably have bought some more.
The children were drooling as they watched.
It’s not that they haven’t eaten these things before, but they have never eaten fresh longan. They have only eaten dried longan.
After they came out of the supply and marketing cooperative, Deng Qingling grabbed a handful of longan, gave three to each child, and then took them to the state-owned restaurant.
If Deng Qingling hadn't been talking and laughing with the children, others would have thought she was a human trafficker. With a bunch of children tied up, she did look a bit like a human trafficker.
When they arrived at the state-owned restaurant, Deng Chun just came out of the kitchen.
"Uncle, we are here." Guo Haochen saw him at a glance and shouted loudly.
Deng Chun heard the call and looked up to see them standing at the gate, so he walked over quickly.
Deng Qingling saw him coming and quickly greeted him, "Big Brother."
"Uncle, uncle." said the children.
"Well, dear, why did you follow your mother to the town today?" Deng Chun said as he reached out and touched Guo Ninghuan's hair.
The child's hair is black, smooth and very touchable.
Guo Ninghuan: "My mother said she would take us to my mother-in-law's house after we bought some things."
"Then do you still remember where Podai's home is?" Deng Chun said with a smile.
"Remember, we all remember." The three siblings said in unison.
Deng Qingling interrupted, "Brother, please look after the child for me. I'll go out and buy some meat and be back."
As soon as she finished speaking, she walked out quickly. Deng Chun wanted to say that there was some space here that he could give her, but she walked too fast.
"Come on, come in and sit down. Your uncle will get you something to eat." Deng Chun did not untie their straps, but directly led them in.
He asked the children to sit near the kitchen door, then went in, took out three buns and shared them with them.
"Thank you, uncle."
Not long after the children finished eating the buns, Deng Qingling came back with pork.
She went there late and bought some bones. Then she took out two pounds of pork from the space and wrapped it in brown paper.
Deng Qingling: "Brother, I'll take them back first. I can help Mom make lunch when I get back."
"Okay, let's talk again some other time when we have time." Deng Chun said.
The mother and her children waved goodbye to Deng Chun, and then walked for more than 20 minutes to reach Tianxin Village.
When they got near the village, the straps were untied and the children ran happily. They were the first to reach Deng Lu's house.
At this time, Liang Haidi was sitting in the main hall mending shoe soles when she suddenly heard her grandson's voice coming from outside the courtyard gate, "Grandma, we're here!"
She quickly stood up and walked out. "Haochen, why are you running so fast? You look sweaty. Where's your mom?"
As he spoke, he wiped the sweat from their foreheads. The children were all sweating from running.
"Podai, my mother is here too. She is still behind us. It will be faster if we run here." Guo Haochen said.
"Yes, dear, we miss you and want to see you soon." Guo Ninghuan said as he put his arms around Liang Haidi's waist and clung to her like a koala.
Liang Haidi smiled and said, "What a coincidence! Podai misses you too."
"My mother said this is called telepathic communication." Guo Haochen also showed off a little bit of his knowledge. It seems that they have learned a lot of knowledge during this period.
When Liang Haidi heard him say that, she burst into laughter.
"We won't wait for your mother. Let's go inside. Podai will make some sugar water for you." Liang Haidi said as she pulled Guo Ninghuan into the house.
He turned to Guo Haochen and his brother and said, "Haochen, hurry up and follow me in."
"Here I come."
"You guys wait a moment, Po Dai will be right back." Liang Haidi said and went into the kitchen to make a pot of sugar water. She poured half a bowl of sugar water for each child.
"You can drink this sweet soup now. It's just the right temperature, neither too hot nor too cold," said Liang Haidi.
"Okay, thank you, Podai."
The children were drinking the sugar water when Deng Qingling came in. "Wow, you're drinking it so soon."
Turning to Liang Haidi, he said, "Mom, let's make some soup later! I bought some pork and bones!"
After saying this, he raised the pork and big bones in his hand.
Liang Haidi said, "Okay, sit down and rest for a while. Give me the big bone and I'll start boiling it now. It will be better if it boils for a long time."
"Mom, cut some winter melon and cook it together to clear away heat and relieve summer heat!" Deng Qingling said as she handed the pork bones to Liang Haidi.
"I know!"
Liang Haidi took the things and went into the kitchen.
Deng Qingling put the backpack in the corner before sitting down. He picked up the empty bowl on the table and prepared to pour some tea, but the kettle was empty and he couldn't pour out any water.
"The water is gone so quickly, are you drinking sugar water?" Deng Qingling said.
Normally, they wouldn't drink water when asked to do so. When they were hungry or thirsty, they would just eat corn soup.
I clearly saw them pouring water just now. If it wasn't sugar water, they wouldn't have finished it so quickly.
"Yes." Guo Haochen said.
Guo Ninghuan asked: "Mom, I still have a little in my bowl, do you want some?"
Although she stared at her own bowl reluctantly, she still pushed the bowl towards Deng Qingling.
"Our Huanhuan is so well-behaved." Deng Qingling picked up the bowl, took a sip, and then stopped drinking and gave it back to Guo Ninghuan.
"Mom, don't you want it anymore? Then I'll finish it." Guo Ninghuan saw that there was still a lot of sugar water in the bowl, so he asked before drinking it.
Deng Qingling said: "I don't want it, you drink it!"
She doesn't like to drink sugary drinks, she likes to drink Coke, Sprite and milk tea.
There's still a lot in the space!
After Guo Ninghuan finished drinking the sweet soup, her cousins went home.
Seeing her nephews and nieces coming back, Deng Qingling took out some longan, and then a group of children gathered together to eat the longan. After eating the longan, they played with the longan seeds as beads.
Deng Qingling went to the kitchen to help, and lunch was ready soon.
The big bone soup was ready after everyone had finished their meal. Everyone was sweating after drinking a bowl of soup in such a hot day.
After dinner, the children played for a long time.
Deng Qingling took the children home only when the sun moved westward and it became less hot.
