Du Xiaoying ran back to the door of her home in one breath, half leaning against the wall with rapid breathing. She turned her head and saw a dark figure at the door. Her heart skipped a beat.
"I'm back."
A familiar voice sounded.
Du Xiaoying patted her chest, which was about to jump out of her throat, and rolled her eyes at the man. "It's the middle of the night, and you're standing here without saying a word. Don't you know that scaring people to death is a good idea~"
Song Guoliang touched the tip of his nose awkwardly and said, "Wife, I was wrong."
The man's deep and magnetic voice mixed with hot breath sprayed on the back of the neck.
Du Xiaoying's ears turned red, and she shrank her numb shoulders and neck, feeling lucky that it was dark.
I covered my hot cheeks. We are already an old married couple, so what is there to be shy about?
Ahem....
I thought too much without realizing it.
She knew it in her heart, so she never thought she could hide it from this person. "They are all poor people. I can't help them in any other way. I will give them the remaining cold medicine at home..."
"Well, we do things for no reward, but only to live up to our conscience."
Facing the man's deep black eyes, the couple smiled at each other, the meaning of their words was self-evident.
Cowshed
A few people used the moonlight to see clearly what was in their hands, and some of their faces, which were thin and sallow due to years of hard work, couldn't help but show a hint of emotion.
"It's for treating colds. Mr. Qin has improved your condition." He Hong said excitedly in a low voice.
Su Qing frowned, a little uneasy, "But... who could have sent it? Will there be any problems?"
Several people fell silent, staring at the medicine in their hands, their hearts beating with anxiety.
"It must be the new aunt who moved in over there. She must have seen Grandpa coughing on the mountain this afternoon and brought him here." Xiao Yi had skinny cheeks and a pair of big, black, bright eyes.
“Ahem…”
Old Qin picked up two pills and swallowed them directly. "It should be fine. No matter what, it won't be worse than it is now."
"Mr. Qin!"
He Hong hurriedly took Mr. Qin's pulse and confirmed that there was nothing wrong, and only then did he feel relieved.
They don't want to think so badly of others, but after experiencing everything, they dare not gamble, let alone trust anyone.
The human heart is truly unpredictable!
....
Song Guoliang walked under the orange glow of the sky and arrived at the village entrance. At this time, a group of adults and children were gathered there, and the place was very noisy and lively.
"Hey, Guoliang is back from get off work."
"Meat!"
Aunt Hehua noticed the big, greasy piece of fat meat in Song Guoliang's hand and spoke in a loud voice, attracting everyone's eager eyes to stare at her.
Song Guoliang just nodded and walked quickly towards his home.
I decided to go around from the back when I bring things next time. If I do this for a long time, it will definitely attract jealousy. Everyone is struggling these days, and it is definitely not a good thing to attract too much attention.
When Du Xiaoying came back with her two daughters, Sanya, Siya and Wuya were squatting at the gate of the courtyard writing and drawing. She pushed open the closed door of the main hall, and instantly the tempting aroma of meat penetrated her nose.
Daya quickly closed the door, picked up the cloth on the ground, and carefully blocked even the seam.
Sanya, Siya and Wuya blinked their big, bright eyes, breathed in the aroma of meat in the air and swallowed their saliva continuously.
Du Xiaoying exclaimed, "I estimated it was less than a pound, but they actually refined so much oil!"
"It's a big piece of fat meat."
Song Guoliang's eyes were full of smiles. It was no wonder that he had gone out early to queue up for several days and finally got such a big piece of fat meat.
Du Xiaoying rolled up her sleeves and said, "The dough has just risen. Let's make potato dumpling dumplings tonight."
"Mom, it's still early. I'll take my sisters to the foot of the mountain to collect some more firewood."
"Okay." Du Xiaoying nodded, pinched out five pieces of hot oil residue from the bowl, sprinkled a little salt on them, and said, "Here, each of you take one piece to taste it first."
Daya and Erya happily went out with the fragrant oil residue and took their sisters to the mountain.
Xiao Wu licked his hands with great satisfaction and smacked his lips happily, "Lard residue is so delicious. I wish I could eat it every day."
"You want to eat it every day? That's such a nice thought." Erya pinched her sister's little face.
"hey-hey...."
Daya put Wuya down from her arms and said, "Don't run too far, pick it up right here."
The sisters each carried a small basket on their backs to pick up branches and then dispersed.
Suddenly, a loud cry was heard.
“Wuwuwu…”
Wu Ya sat on the ground, rubbing her eyes, pouting and sobbing softly.
"Bitch, how can a money-loser like you deserve to eat candy?" Song Zihu slapped him fiercely, biting a piece of candy in half and spitting out a small piece. "You deserve a beating!"
"Third brother, why are yours so big and mine so small?" Song Zishan ate a small piece of candy and pouted unhappily.
Song Zihu glared, "I'm older than you, so of course I have to eat the bigger ones."
"You bastard, how dare you bully Wu Ya!" Er Ya glared at him and rushed over aggressively, kicking Song Zihu over with one foot and knocking Song Zishan down with one punch.
"You bastard who only knows how to bully children..."
Ten-year-old Song Zihu stared with his eyes wide open. Just as he was about to curse, his head was pressed down. His whole face was covered with sticky stuff and he couldn't open his eyes.
"You little bitch, if you dare to hit us, be careful or I'll ask my grandparents to sell you out."
When Erya thought about how her elder sister was almost sold by her grandparents, she became furious and punched and kicked the two of them without mercy.
"Look, Song Zihu is eating cow dung!" Someone shouted.
This immediately caused a group of children to burst into laughter.
Song Zihu belatedly wiped his sticky face, staring and screaming, "Shit! Ah——"
"Hahaha....."
Daya couldn't help laughing and pulled Erya, "Just vent your anger, don't hurt anyone."
Erya warned fiercely: "If you bully my sister again, I will beat you every time I see you."
.....
As soon as Du Xiaoying went out, she saw Daya holding the sobbing little girl with red eyes. She hugged her distressedly and asked, "What's wrong with Xiaowu? Why are you crying so sadly?"
"Mom, the candy in Wu Ya's mouth was snatched away by Song Lao San and Song Lao Si." As Er Ya was speaking, the sarcastic voice of Old Lady Song was heard outside.
"Second brother, come out and take a look at how your wife raised her child. She raised such an unreasonable kid. Isn't she afraid of being struck by lightning..."
Liu Lanhua sniffed and said, "Mom, it smells like meat. The second son and his wife must have been eating meat again~"
Old Mrs. Song also smelled it, and immediately two streams of saliva flowed from the corners of her mouth. She sucked the saliva and pulled her two grandsons over, staring at them with triangular eyes.
"Look at what your idiot has done to my little tiger and little mountain."
Looking at the two brothers with bruised faces and noses, the couple looked at each other.
Old Lady Song narrowed her eyes and said, "We're all family, so it's not good to be too picky. Just give me the meat as compensation, and half a pound of sugar, and let's call it a day."
