Chapter 216 Jiang Fenghu is in trouble
Xiao Nuobao's face turned red like an apple, and she covered it with her hands in an attempt to hide it.
But the village chief and the others had already seen it.
Everyone chuckled and couldn't help but sit on the ground, laughing so hard.
"Nuobao's pants are torn, and he thought we didn't see it. Hahaha, even if we are old guys with blurred vision, at least we can hear the sound."
"This little fat girl must have eaten too much and gained weight. Otherwise, the needlework of the Feng family mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is so good, how could it be so weak."
Xiao Nuobao felt heartbroken.
Wuwu, it's okay for her to make fun of her, but why did she call her little fat girl!
When Feng came over after hearing the noise, little Nuobao was so ashamed that he threw his head on her belly, covered his face with Feng's clothes, whined and refused to raise his head to see anyone. The fact
that such a young child was already shy made the villagers feel even cuter and they laughed in the fields again.
This little thing quickly spread throughout the village, and even old lady Xiao heard it and slapped her thigh in the house.
Everyone talked and laughed, and their mood improved a lot, and they forgot the rumors outside for the time being.
Little Nuobao did not lose face in vain, at least he got the villagers' laughter.
She thought she had sacrificed too much, and at dinner she said she had to make up for it. So she ate two big steamed dumplings, half a bowl of fried pork loin, two purple potato cakes, and a small bowl of winter melon and shrimp skin soup. Only then did she stop pouting.
The next day, after Li Qiqiao prepared breakfast, she sewed a pair of small flower pants made of silk.
But when little Nuobao saw it, he could hear the "sizzle" and "sizzle" sound of the thread unraveling. He was like avoiding the plague god, and refused to wear it no matter what.
The Jiang family members all raised their mouths and couldn't help laughing.
Jiang Fengze was afraid that his sister would get angry because of being laughed at too much, so he coaxed her in a gentle voice: "If you want to blame someone,
blame the material. It's not that our sister is fat. If the material was as strong as donkey skin, it wouldn't come apart no matter how hard you pull it." Little Nuobao was barely comforted.
But he didn't know what was wrong...
As strong as donkey skin? Are there such pants in the world?
Xiao Lanyi thought Fengze couldn't talk, so she pushed him away.
"Don't be angry, Nuobao. If you don't like these flowery pants, we won't wear them. When the military camp is on vacation, Brother Xiao will come to the city, pick out some good material, and make you a few new ones." Xiao Lanyi said generously.
Thinking of having new clothes and pants again, Little Nuobao's eyes lit up, and he ran to hug Xiao Lanyi with a smile.
"Yes, yes, Xiao Guoguo is the best!"
Xiao Lanyi was in a good mood after being coaxed. She hugged the little guy and kissed him, then got up and set off to the military camp on Donglazi Mountain.
"I'll go out with you." Jiang Fenghu said excitedly, "There have been many vendors from Bohai City in the south market recently. The seafood they sell is very fresh. Last time I went there, I only bought clams and jellyfish, but didn't get flower crabs. I'll go earlier today to see if I can buy some."
Bohai City is close to the East and West Seas, and the seafood is rich and delicious.
In summer and autumn, the vendors there collect the goods at night, then rush to other places in the dark, waiting to sell them early in the morning. This is basically how they buy seafood in various cities in the north.
Jiang Fengze and the others nodded and followed suit, saying that if they bought too much, they would like to invite the brothers in the military camp to try some.
Feng took some dry food and stuffed them with them: "You haven't hired a cook in Liaodong Camp yet, right? Take these white flour steamed buns and vegetable cakes over, so you don't have to make them yourself."
After saying that, she seemed to be thinking about something and instructed: "By the way, you three, be careful on the road. People from other villages are most uncomfortable with us now. If you meet them, leave quickly and ignore them, let alone get involved with them."
What happened in the past two days made Feng worry a little.
First, Old Zhang and Widow Gu were beaten. This morning, two guests from Xianquanju stopped their carriages at the entrance of the village and were ridiculed by the passing Zhangjia Village men.
The three brothers were not the kind of people who liked to cause trouble. They all nodded and promised to keep a low profile while walking.
"Don't worry, mother. We are wearing military robes and holding sabers. They dare not act recklessly when they see us." Jiang Fengze said carefully, "It's the second brother who has to hurry on his own. Otherwise, he should take some friends with him for self-defense."
Jiang Fenghu went to the yard and found a sickle and threw it on the ox cart.
After they left, Feng took off the quilt covers and mattress covers of several rooms and washed them with the rainwater received the day before yesterday.
After finishing her work, she went to Xianquanju to take a look. After returning, she sat in the yard to wash clams. She
would make a clam vermicelli soup for lunch, which would be eaten with scallion pancakes. Little Nuobao was so greedy that he couldn't help but lick his lips. He couldn't help but go out of the house, squatting beside with his chubby little buttocks sticking out, waiting.
The shiny silver threads seemed to hang around his mouth, which made people feel soft in their hearts.
Feng was afraid that the water in the clam basin would stain the lady's clothes, so she stopped her and said, "Go into the inner room quickly. Mother will stir-fry some chili and send it to Mrs. Xiao and the others, and then make vermicelli soup. It will take a long time."
Little Nuobao was well-behaved.
He nodded his head as soon as he heard it: "Okay, mother, but remember to save some of the spicy fried clams. Daguoguo will go to see Siguoguo this afternoon, so bring some for him and Uncle Dean."
Among the children in the family, Feng Jing loves spicy food the most.
But the cook of the academy is from the southern province, and she prefers sweet food when cooking, which always makes Feng Jing unappetizing.
Xiao Nuobao often thinks about Feng Jing, and Feng thinks it's very considerate: "Don't worry, mother has made a note. Your fourth brother will be so happy when he knows that you think about him all day long."
Xiao Nuobao squinted his eyes.
The second brother went out to buy seafood and waited for him to come back and steam fresh flower crabs for her. She promised to go to Xianquanju to eat with Old Lady Xiao, otherwise, she would also go with her eldest brother to see the fourth brother and Dean Wei.
Feng looked up at the sun and couldn't help muttering, "It's already so late, why hasn't your second brother come back yet? I don't know if he bought the flower crabs."
Xiao Nuobao was about to swallow his saliva, but Yang Tianmei rushed in.
"Sister-in-law, it's bad. Just now, someone saw a few people from other villages overturning a donkey cart from our village half a mile away from the village entrance. The flower crabs on the cart were scattered all over the ground. I wonder if they are your Fenghu!" Yang Tianmei was very anxious.
Xiao Nuobao stood up.
"There are crabs on the cart? That's my second pot!"
"What about the people on the donkey cart? Are they okay?" Feng dropped the clams and wiped her hands quickly.
Yang Tianmei didn't know much, and said worriedly: "The villagers heard the noise and ran out to help... It seems that the donkey's neck was broken, and the donkey cart hit a big rock on the side of the road, and the rear wheel was broken. I don't know what happened to Fenghu..." Feng
's expression suddenly changed.
She picked up Xiao Nuobao and rushed to the village entrance in two steps.
