Father Xu rubbed his face and said helplessly: "What should we do?"
Mother Xu slapped her thigh and said with a firm face, "I will go to see Cheng Lao Si this afternoon and ask his opinion."
"Looking for Cheng Laosi? You want him to marry our Jiaojiao?" Father Xu asked with a frown.
Mother Xu nodded firmly, "Yes, he knows Jiaojiao's situation, so I want to ask his opinion. If he is willing to marry her, that would be the best. If not... then we can talk about it later."
"Okay, that's it."
After they had discussed the matter, they went home hand in hand.
-------------------------------------
When they got home, Xu Qianjiao had already prepared dinner and was waiting for the two of them. Now that they had separated, the two families cooked separately. Xu Qianjiao didn't have to go to work, so she would cook a little earlier. After she finished cooking, her aunt would come home and continue cooking.
"Dad, Mom, you're back. It's time to eat." Xu Qianjiao set the table and called the two people who were standing at the door putting things away to come over and eat.
Mr. and Mrs. Xu sat on stools. They still had rice and sweet potato porridge for lunch today, but Xu Qianjiao was cooking today. She simply mixed rice and sweet potatoes in half, so the porridge tasted much better today.
Xu's father and mother had no objection to this. Isn't the purpose of making money to spend it? If you keep saving money and eat sparingly, and then starve yourself to death, it will be even more of a loss.
Many families are like this now. In order to save some food, they eat less every day and do heavy work. In the end, the little food left is not enough to buy medicine.
The three of them sat happily in the yard and had lunch. After lunch, Xu's mother mysteriously took a basket, filled it with eggs, and prepared to take them out in the afternoon.
"Mom, why are you taking so many eggs?" Xu Qianjiao looked at her mother's actions with a bit of confusion. What is she doing? Grandma had saved these eggs for a long time, intending to exchange them for money, but then the family suddenly split up, and the eggs were divided between the two families.
Last night her mother said that she should eat two eggs every other day to nourish her body. So why did she suddenly take away all the eggs?
Mother Xu filled a basket with eggs and covered it with a cloth. "Hey, didn't the fourth son of the Cheng family save you? You were in the hospital all the time, and we didn't get to thank him properly. Now that you're back, we have to thank him properly."
Xu Qianjiao was stunned for a moment when she heard the man's name. "Yes, I should really thank him."
"So, I plan to give him these eggs this afternoon as a small token of our appreciation." Mother Xu put the basket away and turned around. "Well, it's getting late. I'm going to sleep for a while. I have to get up for work soon."
After saying that, he went straight back to his room.
