"Thank you, Goudan. You treat me to bird eggs and I treat you to candy." Meng Zhiyu took two bird eggs and gave him four White Rabbit milk candies.
Tiedan looked at the candy and swallowed his saliva, then came over and said, "Sister Zhiyu, I also have bird eggs. Can I exchange them with you for candy?"
Mrs. Zhou came over, pinched Tiedan's ear, and pulled him aside, "You kid really know how to take advantage."
Bird eggs are free, and not as expensive as chicken eggs. White Rabbit milk candy is not cheap. Forget about others, but Meng Zhiyu is one of us, so I can't cheat him.
Meng Zhiyu looked at Tiedan's pitiful expression and rescued his ear from Mrs. Zhou's grip. "Mrs. Zhou, please don't twist the child's ear easily. It might damage the nerves in the ear."
Mrs. Zhou was shocked. "Really?"
She had twisted him a lot in the past, sometimes when she was so angry she would twist him until he turned red.
Zhou's mother and Zhou Ersao were also shocked when they heard this for the first time. Meng Zhiyu nodded seriously, "It's true. Don't hit the child's face or head, or blow on the child's ears. You can spank them if they make mistakes."
Anyway, there is a lot of flesh on my butt, so I am not afraid of being beaten.
After dinner, Meng Zhiyu and his friends arrived at the door of Zhou's house. Zhou's mother had already prepared with her son, daughter-in-law, grandchildren, and this time Zhou's father was also there.
"I've been staying at home all day and I'm feeling sick. It's cooler at night, so I'll get some fresh air." Zhou's father said gently, holding a plastic bottle in his hand.
In fact, his health was not that bad, but his wife was terrified. If he took a few more steps or got some sun, she would be worried that he would die.
This whole family is enough for her to worry about, so in order to make her feel more relaxed, he stays at home as obediently as possible.
People cannot live without the sun. Excessive sun exposure is naturally not good, but we can't always avoid the sun. "Auntie Zhou, you can let Uncle Zhou sit outside when the sun is not too scorching. It's good for his health."
Except for some special things, everything in the world cannot live without sunlight.
Mother Zhou didn't understand this. If someone else had told her, she might not have believed it. But Meng Zhiyu was the one who saved her two grandsons, so she trusted her words completely. "Okay, Auntie, I'll listen to you. In the morning and evening, the sunlight is quite weak. Let him go out twice a day to get some fresh air."
Father Zhou was already in a good mood because he could go out. He couldn't help laughing when he heard what Mother Zhou said. "You said that, and you spread the news. If someone didn't know, they would think you were looking at the small dark room."
Then he looked at Meng Zhiyu and said, "Zhiyu, uncle thanks you. It was you who said that Aunt Zhou wanted to tie me up in the house to prevent me from running away."
Seeing how Zhou's father and mother were getting along, Meng Zhiyu felt very comfortable. "Uncle Zhou, this has nothing to do with me. Auntie's agreement is only for your benefit."
If sunbathing had no benefit for Zhou's father, Zhou's mother would definitely refuse it no matter who she was. Zhou's father naturally understood how much his wife cared about him. He was just joking with his wife.
When they arrived at the grove, the group did not separate. It was pitch dark and who knew if there would be any accidents.
Meng Zhiyu felt that he was extremely lucky today. He didn't know whether it was because the environmental quality was good at this time or because there were many climbing forks in this area.
She had two, three, or even four of each tree she looked at, and soon she had half the bottle filled.
The others also had a good harvest. When leaving, Li Tingman was still a little reluctant. Song Guangye walked to her right and said, "You were reluctant to come at first, but now you are addicted, right?"
Li Tingman nodded, and said that climbing fork is indeed addictive. You don’t know whether you can find the next tree or how many you can find. This sense of unknown and achievement attracts you to keep moving towards the next tree.
After saying goodbye to Zhou's mother and her family, we returned to the educated youth's yard. Everyone took out their own vegetable washing basin, poured the climbing fork into it, washed it clean, poured in clean water, and sprinkled salt on it to prevent the climbing fork from shedding its shell.
After squatting in the yard to wash up, everyone went back to their rooms to sleep. Meng Zhiyu entered the space to read for a while, then went to the elephant house to exercise for a while, took a bath, and then lay back on the kang to sleep.
After breakfast the next day, Meng Zhiyu continued to stay in the room reading and studying, or practicing for the competition.
After lunch, Meng Zhiyu leaned lazily on the chair. She didn't know if other people were like her, feeling weak all over after eating and too lazy to move.
"I want to visit Aunt Li's house this afternoon. Do you want to go?" Ever since the child was born, Meng Zhiyu's impression of him has always been legend, and he has never seen him.
However, this child had a rough life right after he was born. Not only was he drugged to fake his death, he was also hidden in a pile of firewood and was almost sold to an unknown place. His treatment was comparable to that of the princes and princesses before him.
Li Qingqing also wanted to go see the child. "I'll go. Should we bring anything?"
Li Tingman understood this better, after all, she was a mother herself. "We can just bring some brown sugar, red dates, or eggs. It doesn't need to be too much, as long as the intention is there."
Except for Meng Zhiyu, if the child had not been found in their backyard, the rest of them would have had almost no interaction with Aunt Li's family. Too many gifts would be a burden to each other.
Meng Zhiyu also knew this and thought for a moment, "How about six, eight, or nine eggs, two handfuls of red dates wrapped in paper, and half a pound of brown sugar?"
Song Guangye recalled the interactions between his mother and relatives and neighbors, and felt that it was okay. Mu Ziwei and Jiang Zengzhi didn't care about it at all. More or less was fine with them.
We agreed to set off together at 3 pm. After the meeting, we each washed the pots and dishes and went back to our rooms for a nap.
Meng Zhiyu had just happily laid down on the kang and breathed a sigh of relief when he heard a noisy sound from the front yard.
She didn't care what happened and closed her eyes to try to fall asleep. Just as she was about to fall asleep, she was woken up by a knock on the door.
She turned over and sighed irritably, "Who is it?"
"Song Yun." A simple answer.
So what? What are you doing here?
Meng Zhiyu turned over and sat up, smoothed his hair and tied it with a rubber band, and asked, "Song Zhiqing, just tell me what's going on."
Could it be that there was a fight in the front yard and they called her to break it up?
With her physique, should she try to stop the fight or get beaten?
"Zhang Qingwan is back." Song Yun's cold voice sounded, and no emotion could be heard.
Zhang Qingwan? Meng Zhiyu almost forgot who she was. Yes, she had been too busy recently. She would come back after Zhang Qingwan was examined by the hospital.
She's back if she wants to, why would she call me? Meng Zhiyu opened the door and squinted her eyes because of the bright sunlight. "Song Zhiqing, why did she call me back?"
"The team leader and the village chief are here too. They want you to discuss Zhang Qingwan's accommodation together." Song Yun frowned lightly, looking a little unhappy.
