"Okay then." Little Tiger collected a few sweet potato strips and led his brothers into the house. "Mom and sister are sleeping, so we'll be quiet."
"Yeah." San Tiao nodded slightly, appearing obedient and soft.
This made Little Tiger want to grab a handful. Oh! He told his mother that he wanted a younger brother! His younger brother was well behaved and could play with him, but his younger sister was different...
"Sister!" Er Tiao thought of his sister and took back some of the snacks he had given to Xiao Huzi. "This is for my sister."
"Oh..." Little Tiger was a little hurt when he saw Er Tiao's actions. He was no longer everyone's favorite Little Tiger, and he wanted to share half of his love with his sister.
Yitiao and Liutiao were both rough guys, and they could not understand Xiaohuzi's loss. One of them took something out of Xiaohuzi's arms.
The six hands that were only given a few dried sweet potatoes stretched out and grabbed the pancake and held it in their arms, saying that they were going to give it to their sister.
Xiao Huzi: ...That’s too much!
Er Tiao seemed to have sensed something and took his brother Xiaohu's hand and shook it. "Xiaohu, I've made up my mind. I won't give this to my sister. We'll keep it for ourselves."
Anyway, my sister can't eat it yet. When Liu Tiao was little, my mother wouldn't let him eat any snacks. So I'd eat with my brother Xiaohu first, and then with my sister later.
Little Tiger was happy. Er Tiao was the best! Little Tiger smiled broadly at Er Tiao, completely forgetting who had taken the snacks from him first.
"Come with me, shh~" Little Tiger piled the snacks on the table and gently opened his door.
Liu Tiao saw his brothers putting their index fingers to their lips and moving carefully, so he followed behind them, crouching down and walking quietly.
San Tiao was walking at the end, and he felt that Liu Tiao's actions were inexplicably vulgar. Of course, San Tiao didn't know the word "vulgar," but he knew that the little mouse that stole the oil was like that...
"Second sister, what are you bringing? Why is it so heavy? Look at my nephews, they're all carrying bags..." Cheng Zhenbao weighed the bag, feeling like it was filled with several large stones. Dried fish and shrimp? It shouldn't be that heavy, right?
"Sea snake wine, in a glass jar. And dozens of kilograms of dried sweet potatoes..." Cheng Zhenzhu thought.
This time, besides the wine, she also brought two bags of dried seafood, and the rest were sweet potato chips and sweet potato flakes. This year, over 300 kilograms of sweet potatoes were distributed, and she steamed over 200 kilograms to make dried sweet potato chips, which ultimately yielded 60 to 70 kilograms. Seeing that Xiao Huzi and the others really enjoyed them, she brought 30 kilograms this time.
As for the remaining dozens of kilograms of fresh sweet potatoes, she planned to use them for frying, roasting, and hot pot...
"It's a glass jar. I have to be careful then." Cheng Zhenbao carefully raised his bag, thankfully avoiding any bumps or knocks. "This sea snake wine is really good. Did you buy it? Dad wanted to buy some snake wine a while ago, but couldn't find any way..."
"I didn't buy them. I heard sea snake wine is good for back pain, so I caught two to try. Mom, you can have a couple of drinks when you have time."
"You caught it yourself?" Cheng Zhenbao was surprised. He really couldn't imagine how his second sister caught snakes. When she was a child, she would scream "wow wow" at the sight of a caterpillar!
"Girl, why did you catch sea snakes? Many of them are poisonous." Zhao Fangrui was terrified. Snakes are the scariest thing!
Although she understood that her daughter was filial, she was still worried.
"Mom, it's okay. I caught the snake in a cage. I didn't have to catch it directly. I put some rotten fish and shrimp in it, threw the cage into the sea, and waited for the snake to get into the cage..." Cheng Zhenzhu downplayed the matter to comfort Zhao Fangrui.
Zhao Fangrui frowned. No matter how you look at it, isn't her daughter too brave? She clearly remembered that her daughter used to be afraid of these kinds of crawling things.
"It swims, not crawls. To me, it's just like a cutlassfish." Looking at Zhao Fangrui's expression, Cheng Zhenzhu probably understood what she was thinking and explained calmly.
Isn't it still the same? Zhao Fangrui thought. But seeing her daughter's calm expression, she felt like she really wasn't afraid of this thing...
"Second sister is amazing." Cheng Zhenbao was already giving a thumbs-up. It seemed that time had completed the transformation of this second sister.
Cheng Zhenzhu breathed a sigh of relief. Her original self hadn't been back to her parents' home in eight years, which had made things much easier for her without having to pretend. After all, seven years was enough to change a person. "Where are Xiaomei and the child?"
"Hey, she's all asleep." Cheng Zhenbao showed off a smug smile and began to proudly show off his daughter. "The little girl is very well-behaved, not noisy at all, and doesn't like to cry. Every day she eats and then sleeps, and then eats and sleeps. It's so easy to take care of her..."
As he was speaking, he suddenly heard several children crying in the room.
"She must be hungry, otherwise she wouldn't be crying." Cheng Zhenbao turned and went back to the room, not forgetting to clear his daughter's name.
Cheng Zhenzhu smiled and followed him in.
Wang Xiaomei was already awake in the room. She sat up, handed the child to her husband, and smiled at Cheng Zhenzhu. "Second sister, how long have you been here? Look at me, I'm almost asleep..."
She now felt that her second aunt was her biological elder sister. When she was pregnant, her second aunt sent her bags of nutritious sea cucumbers and abalone, and also large bags of fish maw.
During the confinement period, her mother-in-law cooked fish maw and stewed sea cucumbers according to the recipe given by her second aunt, and her father-in-law also made pig's trotters stewed with soybeans from time to time, so now she has recovered quickly and has enough milk.
Her family isn't that good...
"They just arrived." Cheng Zhenzhu looked at Wang Xiaomei's healthy complexion and the child's fair and tender appearance, and was truly happy for them. "Xiaomei, this child looks like you. She will definitely be a beautiful girl in the future..."
