When the old couple heard about Ming Leyao's situation, they were filled with heartache. The old lady even cursed, scolding the Ming family for not knowing the value of a girl and not treating such a good girl well.
So when they saw Ming Leyao this morning, there was unconscious kindness in the eyes of the old couple.
This made Ming Leyao have a better impression of the Cui family.
Everyone exudes a different aura. This is Ming Leyao's deepest feeling after taking lotus seeds. Aura is a very illusory thing. If you really ask her to say what is different, she really can't say it.
I just feel very comfortable and at ease getting along with the Cui family.
This also made her more determined to treat Cui Baoguo well. Such a wonderful family should continue this beauty.
At noon, several people had a casual bite. After taking the medicine, Cui Baoguo took his wife to rest. Cui Ying had to return the car, so he left directly after eating.
Taking advantage of the fact that she had nothing to do, Ming Leyao went to the home of the team leader Pang Jianyuan.
It has not been busy these few months, so the production team will take a two-hour break at noon. However, once the double harvest season begins in a while, I am afraid this benefit will no longer be available.
At this time, Pang Jianyuan was weaving baskets in the yard, with his eldest son Pang Yun next to him.
"Uncle, Brother Pang, are you busy?"
Standing outside the fence, Ming Leyao greeted the father and son in the yard early.
"Hey? Le Yao, you're back."
"Yes, uncle, I just came to tell you when I got back."
Pang Yun opened the door for Ming Leyao. With a simple smile on his dark face, he nodded at her as a greeting.
"Are you done with that matter?"
"Almost done, but there are still some things I need my uncle to come over and help me take a look at in the evening."
"night?"
"Yes, bring your aunt to my house for dinner tonight."
"Okay, it just so happened that my second son came back from town yesterday and brought me and your aunt a big watermelon. I'll cut half of it and bring it to you in the evening."
"Brother Pang is back?"
"Yes, their factory was not busy yesterday, so they got off work early. They came back in the afternoon and left in the morning."
"That watermelon is a gift from Brother Pang. Uncle, are you willing to give it away?"
Ming Leyao joked.
Of course he was reluctant to give it up. A watermelon costs five yuan, and half of it is two yuan and fifty cents. But he had to share it with someone, so Pang Jianyuan didn't feel so sad when he gave it to Ming Leyao.
"You little girl, you only know how to tease your uncle."
"Then I won't say anything. I'm waiting for your watermelon."
"Okay, let's go, little girl."
Pang Jianyuan smiled and chased Ming Leyao away. Ming Leyao smiled at him mischievously and turned away.
Ming Leyao felt that the half watermelon that night might bring Pang Jianyuan an unexpected gain. Compared with this gain, the watermelon was worth it.
After leaving the captain's house, Ming Leyao walked towards the East Village. When she reached the gate of a large courtyard, she shouted loudly, "Auntie, are you home?"
"Hey? Who is it?"
"I'll trade for some eggs."
"Wait a minute."
As soon as the words fell, footsteps were heard, and then the door in front of Ming Leyao was opened, revealing a dark smiling face.
"Isn't this the daughter of the Ming family? Come in, come in. My mother-in-law has thirty eggs that she has stored for a month. How many do you want to exchange?"
"I want them all, auntie."
The He family is the only family in Shangjiaqiao Brigade with considerable wealth.
The reason I say this is because they have five chickens, one male and four females. It is said that the He family's mother-in-law is good at raising chickens. The chickens she raises are fat and the eggs they lay taste good. Many people are willing to go to their house occasionally to exchange a few eggs for food.
This is the first time someone is so generous and wants everything.
"You want all of this?"
"Yes, auntie, I want them all."
"Oh, okay..."
Although they have many hens, there is no guarantee that they will lay eggs every day. After deducting the eggs for their own consumption, it is not easy to save thirty eggs.
The eldest daughter-in-law of the He family deftly put all the eggs into Ming Leyao's basket. After taking the three yuan, she pulled a lot of vegetables grown at home from the field and stuffed them all into the basket.
"Thank you, auntie."
"Well, don't be polite. It's not easy for you to live alone. These vegetables are all grown by yourself. They are not worth much. Auntie can't help you with anything else, but I can still give you a few handfuls of vegetables."
"I received your kindness, aunt."
"If you have any problems in the future, come and find your aunt."
"Oh, okay."
Ming Leyao waved goodbye to the eldest daughter-in-law of the He family and walked back.
While on the road, I also put half a pound of pork in the backpack.
After arriving home, I started busying myself with cooking.
At around four o'clock, the old couple of the Cui family got up. The old lady helped Ming Leyao in the kitchen. Mr. Cui had nothing to do, so he sat in the yard playing with the dog.
At five o'clock, Pang Jianyuan brought Li Fang over.
When he opened the door, he saw an old man sitting in the yard, someone he didn't recognize. Pang Jianyuan paused.
Then exit and look around.
That's right, this is Le Yao's home...
He walked in again.
Mr. Cui found Pang Jianyuan's hesitation quite funny.
"Are you here to look for that girl Le Yao?"
"Hey? Yes, uncle, you are..."
"As for me, I came to see Le Yao girl for something, so I'll be staying here for the next few days."
"Is that so...I wonder what the old man's last name is?"
As the team leader, it was reasonable for Pang Jianyuan to ask a few questions to a stranger, especially since this person appeared in Ming Leyao's home, he had to ask a few more questions.
"My last name is Cui, and I'm Cui Ying's father."
Cui..Cui Ying’s..father? ?
Isn’t that...Chief Cui’s father???
"Mr. Cui, I'm sorry."
"It's okay. As the captain, you should be so cautious."
Mr. Cui waved his hand nonchalantly and invited Pang Jianyuan and his wife to come in and sit down.
Li Fang took the watermelon into the kitchen, saw Mrs. Cui, and thought of Mr. Cui at the door, so she hurriedly greeted him.
"Hello, Aunt Cui."
"Hey? You are..."
"Grandma Cui, she is the wife of our team leader, Li Fang. I have something to tell the team leader, so I invited them to dinner tonight."
"It should be. It should be."
"Le Yao, this is the half of the watermelon. Let me cut it."
"Okay, Auntie, just use that knife. It's for cutting vegetables."
"ah...??"
Li Fang was a little confused.
Whose knives are divided into two types: for cutting meat and for cutting vegetables?
Although she thought so, Li Fang just thought that Ming Leyao's family happened to have an extra kitchen knife, so she used it to cut things and didn't take it seriously.
At half past five, the food was served and Ming Leyao asked everyone to sit down.
"The watermelon that Xiao Pang brought? It's a precious thing."
The two chatted in the yard for a while. The old man felt that the conversation was very comfortable, so he automatically changed his name to Pang Jianyuan, calling him Xiao Pang.
