Chapter 34 All the money is saved for you
Thinking that the family would have enough money in the future and that they would be able to obey her orders, little Nuobao smiled and showed a row of small milk teeth, and then she would sleep soundly with the money in her arms.
Early the next morning, Feng took out the silver that was covered with saliva from under the lady's armpits.
She smiled and kissed it twice, then took out a small box from the suitcase and put the silver in for the lady.
Although Li Qiqiao made a living by selling embroidery, she still took care of every meal.
After all, men were not good at cooking, and Sun Chunxue's cooking was so delicious that it could kill people. If she wanted Nuobao to have a good appetite, she and her mother's cooking skills would be needed.
In just a few days, Li Qiqiao sent three or four embroidery pieces to the city.
Five more taels of silver could be put into her pocket.
Li Qiqiao was also a person who knew her limits. Although Feng never asked her to hand over the money to the government, she would only keep half a tael for herself every time she took the money.
The rest was either forced on Feng or
put into Nuobao's small purse with a smile.
Sometimes, when Feng saw her working so hard that her eyes were red, she felt sorry for her: "You should be more careful and don't have to work so hard. Our family doesn't need the money now, just use it to kill time."
"Besides, you should keep the money yourself, why are you pushing it to me?"
Li Qiqiao was not arrogant, but just smiled and said: "Don't worry, mother, I know how to work, I won't be tired, we are all family, it doesn't matter who holds the money."
After returning to the house, Jiang Fenghu also looked at his wife with admiration.
"My wife is still very broad-minded!"
Li Qiqiao sighed at him: "Needless to say, our family is united, so we have such a good life. Now no matter how much or how little we earn, we should spend it together, no matter you or I."
In the blink of an eye, more than a month passed, and the cold wind of early winter blew on my face, hurting like a knife.
Jiang Fengjing's private school also had two days off.
Feng got up early and sent Jiang Fengnian to the city to pick up the fourth child.
On the way, she also brought back the fabrics she ordered from the cloth shop.
"It's winter now, and it might snow in the morning. Take this jacket with you and let the fourth child wear it before sitting in your donkey cart."
Feng was afraid that Fengjing would freeze.
She filled a pot of soup and put it on the donkey cart.
After Jiang Fengnian exhaled his gray breath and went to the city, Feng put on an apron and started working around the stove.
Although Nuobao is tall now, he is still smaller than other children of the same age.
Thinking about the sufferings her daughter had endured in the past, Feng was thinking about how to give her more nourishment.
"I steamed pork and scallion buns at noon the day before yesterday, and stewed chicken with mushrooms in the evening. Yesterday, she had two meals of noodles with shredded pork in soy sauce. I guess Nuobao must be tired of it..." Feng was muttering to herself.
At this time, Feng Miao came in with a heavy basin in his arms, grinning with exhaustion, and fell into the door.
"Mom, there are shrimps! I'm making shrimps for my sister today, and it's just in time for my fourth brother to come back." Feng Miao wiped his frozen snot and couldn't help shouting.
Feng quickly helped him up.
"Old Five, did you pick this up from the big ditch in our village?"
Jiang Fengmiao laughed with gapped teeth: "Yes, mother, the ditch was almost frozen, but I was still able to pick up something when I went there."
Old Five was also quite smart.
He was thin and small, and it was too tiring to follow his brothers up the mountain, and he couldn't do much work, so he just went to the fields and the village entrance for a stroll.
Every now and then, he could always pick up food in the fields and the ditch.
Sometimes it was a handful of green vegetables.
Sometimes it was half a bucket of fish and shrimp, which made him feel very accomplished and not tired at all.
Feng was happy to see this, so she put away all the shrimps.
She poured out half of it and put it on the stove to steam, intending to make some boiled shrimps to whet the appetite of the young lady in the morning.
The rest was shelled and chopped, mixed with some minced pork, chopped green onions, and soy sauce, and made into wontons. A hen was boiled to make the soup base, and then a hot shrimp wonton was served for lunch.
Around noon, Jiang Fengnian and Jiang Fengjing finally came back.
Fengjing ran into the house, holding his stomach. He had been drenched in a lot of cool wind on the way. Mrs. Feng was about to remind him to lie down on the kang to warm his stomach, when she saw the boy rushing to Nuobao, eager to play with his sister.
Jiang Fenghu waved his hand in the air, and then let it go in anger: "This boy has not been back for several days, and he only has his sister in his eyes, not his second brother."
"Go away, you are the only one who wants to compete with my daughter." Mrs. Feng laughed at him while making wontons.
At the private school, students have two days off after studying for seven days. Because home is far away, the fourth child lives and eats in the private school, and can only come back to see his sister during the day off.
"You finally come back, do you miss your fourth brother?" Feng Jing hugged his sister expectantly.
"Four pots~" Xiao Nuobao raised his white little hand and touched his face: "Nuobao misses you, but why are you..."
"You've become ugly~" Xiao Nuobao pouted in disgust and turned his head away again.
Jiang Fenghu and the others laughed when they heard it.
It is said that pressure makes people old. Since Feng Jing entered the private school, he has been focused on making progress, fearing that he would let down the tuition fees spent by his family.
Sometimes he has to stay up late at night, and he looks half a circle thinner.
Feng Jing touched his face and smiled softly, "Fourth brother has lost weight, if my sister doesn't like it, I will eat more to gain weight!"
Xiao Nuobao heard it and blinked at him.
"Why is Si Guoguo so thin? Are you not full?"
Before Feng Jing could reply, Xiao Nuobao rushed to the suitcase, grabbed his wallet, and threw it into Feng Jing's arms.
"Nuobao has money, Si Guoguo, take it and spend it, take it quickly!"
Jiang Fengjing felt warm in his heart when he heard it.
He was not willing to touch his sister's money.
He grabbed Nuobao's little hand and touched it again and again with curiosity: "Fourth brother has pocket money given by mother, it's enough, you save it yourself, and when fourth brother makes money in the future, I will give it to you and let you save it together."
Little Nuobao grinned, but in the end he still took out a tael of silver and forcefully stuffed it into Fengjing's hand.
She can't just let fourth brother spoil her, she also has to spoil fourth brother!
Seeing this, Feng asked Feng Jing to accept it quickly and not to reject his sister's kindness.
At this time, the chicken soup in the pot began to boil. Li Qiqiao hurriedly put the wontons in, and soon brought the bowl to the table with a smile. The family started to eat happily.
The wontons were cooked very fresh. Xiao Nuobao was like a lamb crying for food, opening his little mouth waiting for his mother to feed him, and he ate one after another.
He was reluctant to stop.
After half a bowl of wontons was eaten, Xiao Nuobao's belly was bulging, and Feng did not dare to feed him anymore.
Xiao Nuobao had to lie on the edge of the bowl, curling his pale pink tongue and secretly licking the fresh soup in the bowl.
The whole family ate like this for two days, and Feng Jing had to go to private school again.
After sending her fourth brother away, Li Qiqiao stopped her embroidery for a few days and worked with Feng to make winter clothes for the whole family.
