He Qing knew very well the regret in her husband's heart. Seeing this, she couldn't help but wipe her eyes and was even more happy for her husband.
....
The egg cake business is stable, and Song Guoliang still goes out early every day to deliver the goods, so he goes to the company early and hands over his shift to his colleagues on duty.
These days, except for the days when Song Guoliang is on duty, Du Xiaoying generally does not need to deliver goods.
Therefore, the days of hibernation are busy and fulfilling.
For several days, the five sisters went to the cowshed early in the morning and came back late at night. Except for cooking time, there were few children to be seen.
By the time Du Xiaoying noticed it, half a month had passed. She couldn't help but wonder why the children ran to the cowshed all day long.
"Mom, Grandpa Qin, Uncle He and Aunt Su teach us a lot of interesting knowledge every day." San Ya's eyes were shining as she spoke, and her eyes were full of thirst for knowledge.
Du Xiaoying smiled and touched her daughter. Listening to the children talking to each other, she realized that they were learning embroidery, painting, and medicine from others.
These are all excellent ways to make a living. If it were not for the special times, most people would not easily teach them to others.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel happy for her daughters, and even more grateful.
But she still had a lot of work to do, time was tight and the task was heavy, so she couldn't get away for the time being and hurriedly packed some egg cakes and brown sugar.
"Take these with you and say it's what mom told you to do."
"Got it~"
Du Xiaoying watched the children skipping out of the door with their book bags on their shoulders. She turned around and saw her eldest nephew shaking his head, which made her laugh.
"Niuniu, what's that expression on your face?"
"Aunt, the teacher's lectures are like incomprehensible scriptures to me. I can't help but feel sleepy during class. I don't know why San Ya likes reading and studying so much."
Du Xiaoying couldn't help laughing, "This is what they call everyone has their own preferences and strengths."
Liu Dajiao couldn't help but sigh, "Your Sanya is just like other people's children, sensible and considerate, smart and intelligent, unlike my child, who has no talent for studying."
"Your daughter Shanzi Yueya is sensible, but you are still not satisfied. Now you have to deal with those ungrateful kids from the Song family. Let's see what you can do."
When Liu Da Jiao thought of the ghostly eyes of the Song family's children, she shuddered with disgust. "Oh my God, when I think of them like this, my children are so well-behaved."
Du Xiaoying couldn't help laughing. This guy is afraid of competition.
Nightfall
Seeing her nephew suddenly holding his stomach, Du Xiaoying asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"
Erniu covered his stomach and chuckled, "Aunt, this is the first time I've accidentally eaten too much in my life."
Niu Niu slapped his brother's head in annoyance, "You have to eat so much, don't you know when you're full?"
"It's because the food cooked by Sister Daya is so delicious that I accidentally ate too much." Erniu scratched his head.
The whole family was amused, and Daya was even a little embarrassed by the praise, and straightened her body with pride.
The three brothers touched their round bellies and tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep for a while.
"We must work hard and not let our aunt down, understand?"
"Don't worry, big brother. My aunt and uncle are so kind to us. The food is better than what we eat at home. We will definitely help my aunt with her work."
"Brother, I feel like I've gained weight, and I no longer wake up in the middle of the night from the cold." Erniu blinked his dark eyes, "Brother, I like my aunt's house~"
"Well, go to sleep quickly. Get up early tomorrow. Let's help my aunt more so that she won't be tired."
"Yeah!" The two brothers listened to their eldest brother's words and nodded heavily.
....
With the Song family's daily thirty kilograms of egg cakes, the warm interior of the house formed a sharp contrast with the freezing outside.
The windows were covered with a thick layer of frost.
The aroma of egg cake drifted out through the crack of the door unnoticed.
"It smells so good~ Bro, do you smell anything?"
"I smell it too, it smells so good~"
The two brothers sniffed and ran towards the fragrance with shining eyes.
Looking at the independent and imposing courtyard at the foot of the mountain, the two brothers looked at each other, with jealousy flashing in their eyes.
"Third brother, his family stole good things again." Song Zishan stomped his feet in anger. In the past, these good things belonged to them, brothers, so how could it be the turn of those money-losing guys?
"Let's go and take a look." Song Zihu waved.
The two brothers crouched stealthily as they approached the Song family's closed courtyard gate, the fragrance filling their noses.
Song Zihu tentatively reached out and pushed the door, but it didn't move at all.
"Third brother, it's egg cake. I want to eat egg cake too." Song Zishan immediately shouted unhappily.
"Eat, eat, eat, all you know is eating." Song Zihu glared at his younger brother angrily and swallowed his saliva. He was afraid that his younger brother would wake up the vicious woman, so he pulled him back.
"Third brother, I want to eat egg cake~"
"Be careful not to disturb that vicious woman. Let's go home and find our grandmother. Maybe she can help us."
....
The people in the house had no idea what was happening outside. They were busy and sweating profusely.
In the main room, two large pots were steaming, and waves of tempting aroma forcefully penetrated into the nostrils of several people.
Erya took Caomei to the kang in the inner room and carefully taught her all the knowledge she had learned from school.
Cao Mei listened carefully and cherished this hard-won learning opportunity.
"Yes, that's it, Caomei, you are so awesome~" Arya exclaimed.
Cao Mei blushed a little embarrassedly, "Erya, you're exaggerating! You're making me feel embarrassed."
"What? Sister Cao, I'm speaking from the heart, I'm not exaggerating."
"Erya, I know how to write 'heart'." Cao Mei's eyes were surprisingly bright, and she wrote a heart word neatly on the notebook.
Erya, “….”
The sky outside the window gradually darkened. Cao Mei put on her old cotton jacket and returned home before dinner at the Song family.
Daya calculated the time for Song Guoliang to come back, prepared a big pot of dumpling soup, and even brought a drop of sesame oil.
Seeing her eldest nephew eating three bowls by himself, Du Xiaoying couldn't help but click her tongue. No wonder people say that this little boy is eating his father out of money. Children of this age can eat a lot, but they get hungry quickly.
....
After the meal, Du Xiaoying prepared some food and some brown sugar, intending to deliver them before dark, and to express her gratitude to them in person.
Looking at the worried man, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I'll send it over and be back soon."
"It's okay. I'll wait for you."
Seeing that the man was unmoved, Du Xiaoying did not force him anymore and ran over with her neck hunched against the strong wind.
Just as he was about to knock on the door, the courtyard gate opened from the inside.
A tall and thin young man hurried out, not expecting anyone to be outside the door, and stood there in a daze.
Du Xiaoying looked at the familiar face at the door and couldn't help but exclaim.
"He Zhiqing!"
