This is a bit too much! After all, they raised their nephew with great difficulty, how could he become like this in just two days?
"Punch, punch~" Jiu Tiao didn't even look at his two uncles. His moist eyes looked at Cheng Zhenzhu, eating spoonful after spoonful of rice oil with gusto. After finishing, he gave Cheng Zhenzhu a grin.
Zhao Dali and Sun Xiaode: ...I am in seclusion, please do not disturb me.
At around ten o'clock in the morning on August 11, after several days of travel, three adults and six children appeared on Sanshi Island.
When they arrived at the familiar place, the boys immediately became energetic. Wearing the same clothes and carrying bulging school bags, they walked hand in hand at the front, looking very proud.
Behind them, Cheng Zhenzhu was holding a wilted little baby, while Zhao Dali and Sun Xiaode were each carrying two big black bags.
As soon as this spectacular procession appeared at the West Reef, it immediately attracted the attention of the islanders, who all asked why Cheng Zhenzhu had another baby in her arms and who the two comrades behind her were.
Cheng Zhenzhu simply said the two comrades were the baby's uncles. As for how there was another baby, there was nothing to explain to others. The baby would be kept on Sanshi Island from now on. If she talked too much, some people would inevitably come to the baby and start complaining...
"Have you been helping someone raise a baby again? Aiqing's family doesn't have much income, but after raising the baby, they have become more and more extravagant. During the holidays, who would go to the grocery factory and return empty-handed?" Seeing Cheng Zhenzhu and the others walking away, someone muttered and speculated.
"Yeah! Every holiday, I have a chicken in my left hand and a duck in my right hand, and a fat rabbit in the basket behind me. I'm greedy just looking at the fur..."
"Who wouldn't be greedy? They said the six ones are five dollars a month, so how much are the rest of them?" Everyone seemed to have already decided that this was Pearl helping someone raise a baby, and they had already put themselves in her shoes.
"The two in the middle, seven or eight, at least that number!" One of them stretched out his hands and said.
"I think it's more than that. Back then, that soldier asked us to help move some things. You forgot, there were so many boxes, it was obvious that they were from a wealthy family..."
"The two in the middle are definitely more, and this one looks like it must be quite a lot too. The two uncles of the kid don't look like ordinary people..."
"Wow! Doesn't Aiqing's family earn dozens of dollars a month for babysitting?" a big man said in shock.
The others turned the words over in their heads and opened their mouths wide. Well, they can take care of the baby! Seeing Aiqing's family taking care of the baby, it seems very simple, right?
As soon as the men said this, they were immediately criticized by several mothers. When it comes to raising children, only mothers know the ropes! These men are just talking nonsense...
"Comrade Dali, Comrade Xiaode, please sit down." After arriving home, Cheng Zhenzhu felt completely relaxed. Her own nest was really the most comfortable.
And I don’t know if it’s because I have seven kids now, but I feel so refreshed all over, and all the fatigue from traveling seems to be swept away.
"Oh, okay, thank you Sister Cheng. Sister Cheng, please sit down and stop busying yourself..." Zhao Dali sat down and looked carefully at the several blue brick houses in front of him.
This house was magnificent! It was tall and spacious, with straight blue bricks and two stone rooms. It looked clean and bright, completely different from what they had imagined! They had been worried that if Cheng's wife had another one a year, there wouldn't be enough room.
Now it seems they were completely overthinking it. Actually, seeing the six students dressed up and each carrying a bag of snacks, they should have realized earlier that Cheng Saozi came from a well-off family...
It seems that Xiaonian has found a good family this time. Sun Xiaode and Zhao Dali thought at the same time.
"Mom, let's take a bath? Let Jiu Tiao take a bath too." Er Tiao felt dirty and felt uncomfortable after playing for a while. He wanted to sleep, but he didn't want to get the bed dirty, so he didn't climb into it.
"Okay, Mom will boil some water, and you can all take a bath later." Cheng Zhenzhu nodded. She also wanted to take a bath. But she was holding back because she had guests at the moment.
"Sister-in-law Cheng, let's go..." Sun Xiaode and Zhao Dali saw that they could finally be put to use. "We saw the well when we just came here, so we can just go there ourselves."
"Thank you for your help," Cheng Zhenzhu smiled, handing the heavy lifting to the two men. If they weren't here, things would be much simpler. But the tank was empty, and to outsiders, it looked like they'd have to carry water...
While the two of them were fetching water, Cheng Zhenzhu made a pot of rice oil for the stinky ball in her arms, then soaked two handfuls of dried cucumber peels, and soaked some vermicelli and cured fish.
The two comrades said they were leaving today, and it wasn't convenient for her to keep them, but she still had to treat them to a good lunch...
Zhao Dali and Sun Xiaode carried water back and forth several times, meeting many people along the way. Some people even asked them if they were soldiers. They said they were, but later they were discharged. As a result, someone replied, "No wonder," leaving them bewildered.
"Mom, we're going to wear this outfit today." Everyone followed the outfit in the second person's hand and chose the same one. The seventh and eighth people did the same thing, because Mom made the same outfit for them too! So happy~
