Chapter 77 It's all about luck
She had been busy all day and walked into the house feeling a little tired, but she was keenly aware of the unusual atmosphere in the house.
Zhang Baozhu, who was the only one left, looked a little uneasy when she stood in front of her mother.
She twisted her hands together slightly, not daring to look her mother in the eyes, but also not daring to hide the truth.
"In the afternoon, I felt a little hungry, so I took some steamed buns to eat."
She said cautiously, "As a result, Goudan insisted on snatching it when he saw it. I broke off a small piece for him, about the size of an egg."
"He also drank half a bowl of water."
Zhang Baozhu added, as if hoping that this would make Goudan's performance appear better.
She continued, "Mom, I think we should find a place where no one is around to eat next time, because Goudan has been very curious about everything lately and always likes to come over and make trouble."
When Zhao Chunhua learned that Goudan had eaten so much, she let go of her anxiety and a relaxed smile appeared on her face.
Anyway, there is still a meal before going to bed at night, so there is no need to rush to make something extra for him.
In this case, there is no need to make any further arrangements, just keep everything as usual.
It was already past six o'clock when Zhang Youcai arrived. His clothes were soaked with sweat and he looked very disheveled.
Zhao Chunhua quickly asked him to sit down and rest. After his body recovered a little and the wet marks on his clothes gradually disappeared, the food was ready to be served.
Also, give each of them a lantern to illuminate the way forward on the road at night.
In the basket that Zhang Youcai brought, Zhao Chunhua specially put some beautiful cloths, some red dates and brown sugar - these carefully selected small gifts were specially left for Zhang Baozhu.
"I won't keep you here today. After the bed is ready, I'll take Baozhu over to stay for a few days."
Zhao Chunhua spoke gently, her words full of anticipation for a future reunion.
Zhang Youcai nodded in agreement and signaled with a gentle look that Zhao Chunhua didn't need to see him off.
He followed Zhang Baozhu, keeping a distance behind her, taking every step carefully for fear of disturbing her peace, and escorting her home wholeheartedly.
Zhao Chunhua slowly closed the gate of the yard, looked back at Goudan who was trying hard to climb over the wall, and couldn't help but reveal a playful smile, "Hehe", and then gently touched his head.
Then, Zhao Chunhua warned seriously: "Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you are cute."
She gently picked up the naughty little guy and walked into the bedroom with a small piece of fragrant bacon in her hand, deciding to put it safely in the storage space later.
After playing with Goudan for a while, I saw that his little face was red and looked a little tired. He stretched out his limbs and lay on the warm quilt to rest.
At this time, Zhao Chunhua didn't pay much attention to him. She just sat quietly on the stool next to him, picked up a blade and began to carefully cut a safety stick for the little baby to bite and play with.
After dinner, when she was carefully wiping the dirt off Goudan's hands and cheeks, she found that this well-behaved child had already fallen into a sweet dream.
As night gradually fell, it was finally time for Zhao Chunhua to enjoy herself alone.
She couldn't wait to search through the drawers and cabinets for a long time, and finally found the pack of instant noodles that she had hidden for a long time and was reluctant to eat right away. She planned to enjoy it as a midnight snack tonight.
In order to prevent the strong smell of food from affecting the neighbors and family around her, after careful consideration, Zhao Chunhua chose to close the door of the room before enjoying the food with peace of mind.
The process of cleaning the kitchen was also meticulous. After making sure that everything was clean and tidy, the girl, who had been busy all day, was contented and ready to fall asleep.
I was silently planning what to do when I go to town tomorrow: first, I would go to the money house to withdraw my savings, and then I would go to my brother to ask for help and ask someone to dig a well.
She knew that her two brothers, Zhao Yunbai and Zhao Yunren, were currently working and living in the town. However, in comparison, her third brother was more careful and considerate, and was obviously much more stable than her fourth brother in handling various matters.
Thinking about the series of purchasing activities that will be carried out soon, including purchasing high-quality seeds suitable for sowing; I heard that there is a new famous roast duck restaurant in the market recently, which is delicious and makes people salivate, so I plan to buy a freshly baked good stuff to try it; in addition, there are some necessities that I also need to take this opportunity to purchase.
All these preparations were made so that I could return to my mother's home to visit relatives smoothly with my lovely and lively son in two days.
When I woke up in the morning, I suddenly found that the windows were not closed tightly, and I was immediately annoyed - I forgot to close them completely last night, resulting in two red envelopes left by mosquitoes on my wrists.
"Hey, since you can't bully the kids, come and bite me..."
Zhao Chunhua thought angrily, and secretly decided in her heart that she must add a layer of gauze on the windows.
Thinking of being disturbed by bugs last night, she couldn't help but frown.
These annoying little creatures are such a pain in the ass.
But she just likes to sleep with the windows open.
The fresh air and the cool breeze at night made her feel particularly comfortable.
Despite this, she also realized that this problem must be solved, otherwise there will be more troubles in the future.
After arranging Goudan's three meals a day, Zhao Chunhua hurried to the village entrance with a steamed bun to take the ox cart.
Goudan is now the person she cares about most, and she takes good care of his daily life.
Holding the hard bun in her hand, her heart was filled with warmth and determination.
Speaking of transportation, Zhangjia Village has two ox carts and two donkey carts, and the fare to the town is two cents each.
This is still affordable for most villagers, but the problem is that whether you can grab a ox cart or a donkey cart depends entirely on luck.
Sometimes, the villagers would quarrel over such trivial matters, after all, everyone wanted their journey to be a little more comfortable.
Fortunately, Zhao Chunhua was lucky enough to get on the ox cart today, but the bumpy ride made her not even want to drive and talk.
It was mainly because the road was full of potholes, which almost dislocated her internal organs.
Every bump made her want to vomit, but she held it back, not wanting to let other passengers see her vulnerability.
I really wish I had a relative who came from modern times, so that he could bring some cement to build roads, which would be a good thing for everyone.
Every time she thought of this, she felt a sense of helplessness and regret.
This place would definitely be better with modern tools and technology.
However, reality is always cruel.
As for herself, all she can say is that she should just try her best to survive and not cause trouble for others.
