Chapter 33: Big Pie



"I understand, mother." Hu Xiaoyi took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, "Once the three major items are packed, we will move in."

"Oh! You have suffered a lot." Cao Zhaodi looked like a loving mother.

Li Aihua, who was feeding the chickens and ducks, had no idea that she was about to leave.

Hu Lin, who was lying on the bed preparing for a nap, saw Hu Xiaoyi come in. Noting how depressed he looked, he ignored him, turned over, and thought out of sight, out of mind.

Now that everything has basically settled, she sits under the eaves thinking about what to do next.

The Hu family is so concerned about their reputation, so the place they live in must not be too bad, at least it won't look ugly on the surface.

But it’s estimated that it will still be difficult for a while.

After settling down, she and Li Aihua could start their health care plan. As for Hu Xiaoyi, they would just let him continue to grow freely.

Li Aihua was cleaning the house at the time. Seeing her daughter in a daze, she asked, "Daughter, what are you thinking about?"

"I'm imagining a wonderful future life." Hu Lin stood up and stretched. "Are the vegetables in the backyard edible?"

Give him all that he can eat, so that he doesn't have to work hard for a long time and not be able to eat a single bite when he leaves.

"It's too early! We still have to wait for half a month."

"It grows too slowly." Hu Lin frowned and muttered.

When Li Aihua heard this, her expression relaxed.

This sounds like a child's words.

Recently, she has gradually treated her daughter as an adult, and sometimes she even forgets that her daughter is only five years old, the age when she can still roll around in the mud.

In the afternoon, Hu Lin went to the health center to get an injection.

"When did you go to the county recently?" Hu Lin asked while pressing the cotton after the injection.

"In the next two days." Zhao Mingshou disassembled the needle and syringe and put them separately. "Why are you asking this? Don't we still have a can of nutritional supplements?"

"I'm moving soon, so I want to stock up some at home. Since she stopped having IV drips, my mom can only drink nutritional supplements once a day, which is of no use."

"Moving? Just you guys?"

"Um."

"Why do you want to move out suddenly?"

"You'll know when the time comes." Hu Lin didn't want to explain to Zhao Ming. She really didn't like gossip.

Doctor Zhao did not ask further questions after seeing this, "How do you feel about the wound these days?"

I stopped applying medicine a few days ago because the scab is very thick, so it is unnecessary to apply medicine. I can only wait for it to heal on its own.

"It's okay, it still hurts a little when I touch it."

Last night, when she turned over in her sleep, she forgot about this and bumped into something. Her scalp and bones suddenly hurt, and the pain woke her up instantly.

"That's right, it's good that there's no concussion."

"I think we can stop taking the penicillin." After taking it for more than half a month, she was really feeling a little scared.

Even when I was fighting in the past, I never had to take so many injections in a short period of time.

"One more week." Doctor Zhao wrote down the list. "Just a reminder, if you stop, you can no longer pay the village chief's medical expenses."

"Why don't you just write it down every day? Who knows whether he got beaten or not?"

"I won't do such a wicked thing."

"As for what you said last time about prescribing Chinese medicine for me when I get better, you can start now.

This can at least be hung at the village chief’s house, it’s not fully healed yet! ”

"Wait a little longer, why are you in such a hurry? If you use Chinese and Western medicines together, be careful not to explode and die." Zhao Ming was half joking.

"Okay, then you can show it to my mother later."

"You have to pay."

"I'll owe you that first."

"No way."

"Investing in my mother is equivalent to investing in me. Don't worry, you will be indispensable in the future." Hu Lin began to paint a rosy picture for Zhao Ming again.

"Forget it, give me some time, I can think about it."

“Two years. After two years, I will be able to show you the benefits.”

She was seven years old at that time and could hunt.

She was also seven years old when she killed someone for the first time. In the past two years, she has trained hard to lay a solid foundation, and now she can easily catch small prey.

"Seven years old? Interesting, deal!" Zhao Ming agreed readily, and at the same time he also wanted to see what Hu Lin could do.

"Then after we move, you can show it to my mom."

"no problem."

The matter was settled. Hu Lin looked at the time and saw that Li Aihua was almost there, so she took out the nutritional supplements and mixed them.

After drinking the nutritional supplement, Li Aihua left with Hu Lin. Zhao Ming looked at the two people who were leaving, or to be more precise, at Li Aihua.

He felt that Li Aihua had become a little different, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

Zhao Ming, who couldn't figure it out, locked the door and went back shortly after they left.

After dinner, the people from the second house and Hu Jiaoqiao went to Zhang’s house again.

The Zhang couple were a little surprised to see the three of them. They didn't expect them to come so quickly, but they still led them into the house.

The old couple from the Zhang family were also there. When they saw the people from the Hu family coming, they exchanged a few words of greeting and then went out for a walk.

Now that their son is the boss of the Zhang family, they are too lazy to get involved.

Sun Fangfen sat down and drank a sip of water, then hurriedly said, "My dear relatives, our family has discussed it, and we hurried over here as soon as we got the result."

"What was the result?" asked Zhang's father.

"You know our family situation. We have a big family to support, and we really can't afford to build a house."

Sun Fangfen first talked about the difficulties, and then changed the subject.

"Fortunately, my eldest brother and his wife are very reasonable. They said that we should not mistreat the new daughter-in-law. They have a small family and it will be the same if we divide the family."

"My parents didn't agree at first, but my eldest brother said that if we built a new house, the whole family would have to starve and the children wouldn't be able to go to school. Finally, my parents had no choice but to agree."

Hu Guangjie followed suit and praised Hu Xiaoyi.

"The eldest son of the Hu family is indeed famous for his filial piety." Father Zhang sighed.

"Indeed, my eldest brother has always been filial and considerate of the family." Hu Jiao smiled generously, "Now your child doesn't have to worry about anything. Let's pick a good day for the wedding."

"That's no problem, but I don't know when these three major items will be ready. The date has to be chosen after this."

"We will go to the county tomorrow and it will be done in a month at most." Sun Fangfen quickly replied.

"Okay, then we'll see in July or after July," Zhang's father decided.

Zhang's mother replied, "Then I'll ask someone to pick a good day for the children tomorrow."

"Then I'll trouble you, mother-in-law." Hu Guangjie thanked politely.

A few more pleasantries were exchanged, and just then two people who were on a date came back and saw the parents of both families. Only then did they learn that they would be getting married soon.

They both smiled like idiots.

After Hu Zhu's business was done, Hu Jiaoqiao also wanted to go back.

This time she stayed at home for a week, which was long enough.

So she had breakfast the next day and went back with her son.

The second wife and her children took a ox cart to the county to find a carpenter to make three major items.

A few days later, the Zhang family picked a date and set it as July 28th.

The Zhang couple brought Zhang Hui to the Hu family for a meal, and the matter was settled, so they just waited for the wedding date.

It was the first time that meat was served on the table, and Hu Chunsheng also brought out some wine to entertain the guests.
