This was a pleasant thing to hear. Cheng Zhenyu sorted out her cards and thought to herself, if only the two daughters were half as clever as the younger one, and if the younger one were a bit more articulate than the two...
Seeing that Sanni had calmed down and her eldest daughter hadn't had any issues with the second daughter, Zhao Fangrui nodded in satisfaction. It seemed like this was how she was going to be educated from now on. First a beating, then a few words of advice, a mix of soft and hard tactics. She didn't believe Sanni wouldn't fall for it!
"It seems like she hasn't cried anymore?" Little Tiger said while sitting on the steps supporting his head.
The other four people holding their heads nodded. Yeah, finally they stopped crying...
Cheng Fugui caught a glimpse of the children sitting in a row on the steps and waved to them, "Little Tiger, come and peel the loach. Grandpa will make it at noon and fry it in oil."
Fried! Liu Tiao heard it and stood up and ran towards Cheng Fugui. Every time his mother fried food, it was especially delicious! He wanted to work and eat a lot...
Cheng Zhenbao looked at his nephew running towards him, afraid that he would cause trouble, so he held him away and said, "Liu Tiao, you are not needed here. Just play. When the food is ready, you will be responsible for eating. Okay?"
"I want help~" Liu Tiao frowned unhappily. Seeing his brothers coming over, he followed behind them and stretched out a hand to take out loaches from the bucket.
Cheng Fugui saw six hands stirring the bucket and making it dirty, so he just let them be.
Seeing no one was paying attention, Liu Tiao just continued to dig. After he finished gutting a few loaches, he was quite happy, his little face smiling like a sunflower. He even imitated his brother and washed the loaches before putting them in the basin...
At lunch time, Cheng Fugui actually fried a large pot of loaches, added some spices and stir-fried them. They were fragrant and crispy. Several adults and children almost swallowed their tongues while eating them.
Cheng Fugui hadn't expected to make such delicious loach. He skipped his meals and ate the loach. He finished the last large bowl, leaving nothing behind. Two days later, he started making more loach again...
Cheng Zhenzhu and the other children ate three or four more meals of loach before heading back. Before leaving, she took the opportunity to visit the black market a few times.
I sold over 40 kilograms of fresh meat and another 20 kilograms of cured meat, earning over 50 yuan. Then I bought two large bags of tomatoes and eggplants, and a few watermelons.
The tomatoes at this time are small, sour and sweet, and have a rich taste.
She particularly liked eggplant; it was completely different from the long, hard eggplants of later generations. These were smaller, not quite as purple. She peeled and sliced two, steamed them with rice, and sprinkled them with chili oil. They were incredibly delicious...
"Mom, loach is so delicious!" When he got on the train, Er Tiao was still craving the taste of fried loach.
"Delicious." San Tiao nibbled on a tomato, his eyes bright as lanterns. He loved it, too. He'd eaten a lot, but he still wanted more...
"It's a pity we don't have any there." Yi Yi was very regretful. There were no loaches in the sea, otherwise he would dig for them every day.
"No?" Liu Tiao was anxious. He squeezed out from between his two brothers, pushed their heads apart, and asked his mother for confirmation.
San Tiao also looked at his mother.
Cheng Zhenzhu nodded, "There's none in the sea. If you want to eat them, we can come here next year and eat our fill." In fact, she had about ten pounds of loaches in her space, but it was becoming increasingly difficult to fool them, so she didn't want to make up stories anymore and decided to leave these loaches alone for now...
It was so sad. San Tiao lowered his head and sipped a few tomatoes, deciding to be sad for a while.
"Hmph~" Knowing this, the one who was hurt the most was the foodie Liu Tiao. He had already finished his tomatoes, so he could only watch his brother San Tiao eat them, and his expression immediately became even more depressed.
Ertiao pulled back the drooling Liutiao's head and handed him a dried sweet potato. "Eat this."
Liu Tiao munched on some dried sweet potatoes, and soon his mood brightened up again. He climbed into his mother's arms and wanted to sit by the bed and look at the scenery.
"Look~" Liu Tiao squeezed together and leaned over the window. Soon he got so excited that his hands became a little naughty. He scratched everywhere and even scratched his three brothers.
"Stubborn!" The three of them were angry.
"Then let's chat with Liu Tiao~" Liu Tiao grinned and stretched out his arms to let his third brother tickle him.
"Ah~" San Tiao groaned, vacating his spot and letting his mother carry him to the upper bunk to sleep. Yi Tiao, feeling a bit sleepy as well, climbed up to sleep as well. The lower bunk was left with Cheng Zhenzhu, Er Tiao, and Liu Tiao.
These two were both gluttons, gnawing on dried sweet potatoes without letting go, and then farting loudly, adding a new and strange smell to the stuffy and smelly train...
Three days later, the family, one adult and four children, finally arrived home carrying two snakeskin bags. Cheng Zhenzhu made a pot of lean pork noodle soup for the children, who had eaten eggs, fried dumplings, and tomatoes along the way. This was their dinner.
The kids were having a great time eating, even gulping down all the noodle soup, making washing the dishes much easier.
"Let's go play~" Early the next morning, Liu Tiao sat in the stroller and raised his fists and shouted.
After taking the train and going to the sea market several times, the brothers became more and more knowledgeable and cleverer day by day. Every time they came back from the sea market, they became the focus of attention of the children on the island.
Just the next day after returning, the brothers were surrounded by a group of little kids and went out. Liu Tiao, sitting in the stroller, firmly took the center stage, his eyes sparkling. Now he has seen the world...
But in the blink of an eye, September was the start of school, and the group of children scattered. Three or six stayed at home, while two followed one to school, carrying their new schoolbags, feeling both curious and proud.
