"Mrs. Cheng is so polite. Last time we came, we had to eat and take things with us, and we felt embarrassed." Zhao Dali thought of the dried seafood he brought back last time, a big bag full. He ate some at home and gave some to his good brothers. They all praised it highly.
The dry goods that Sister Cheng gave him were truly top-notch, especially the wine. He gave some to his uncle, who now comes to him every day to ask for more. But he's out of it, and he's too embarrassed to share it with Grandpa and Aunt Dahua, so he can't even sleep peacefully.
If his sister-in-law still has some, he'd really like to buy a few more cans this time. He'd give one to his uncle, and then bring two to a comrade who has a leg injury. Comrade Dawei said this wine has miraculous effects on injuries...
"Haha, let's stop being so polite. I'll buy some more eggs and duck eggs, and then we can go back." These comrades weren't relatives, but they were better than family. Cheng Zhenzhu spoke to them in a friendly and casual manner. Furthermore, one of them was Jiu Tiao's grandfather, so this was a true blood relationship.
"Okay, okay," Wang Xiongtian laughed heartily, almost the same as before. He had come to terms with it. His son's death was irreversible. As for his grandson, he had to take good care of himself and live a long life. He wanted to see him marry and have children. He had already prepared the betrothal gifts...
So Cheng Zhenzhu carried Jiu Tiao to the place where chicken and duck eggs were sold.
When the other two saw their mother going to buy eggs, they immediately followed closely. They looked around to see if there were any rabbits.
Oh well, no rabbits, not even one... After a full circle, the fish were all disappointed. I really wanted to eat the rabbit meat that Mom cooked! Last time, when we caught four or five rabbits, Mom braised it, cut it into pieces, and added some dried chilies and spices. It was so delicious!
Unfortunately, Si Tiao and Wu Tiao didn't continue their heroic efforts. They climbed the mountain a few more times and came back with only a few sticks. Although Si Tiao and Wu Tiao had a good habit of not returning home empty-handed, what they wanted was not a firewood stick, but a rabbit!
"Oh~" It's not easy to eat rabbit. Liu Tiao sighed, and squatted on the ground with his chin supported by his little hand, watching his mother and brother count eggs.
"Oh oh ~ egg ~" Jiu Tiao stretched out his little claws and wanted to roll over, but the whip was too far to reach, so he could only glance at it sideways.
Because Comrade Xiaode already had chickens, ducks and pork, Cheng Zhenzhu only bought a few pounds of eggs and duck eggs. She planned to fry some of them and pickle the rest of them into salted duck eggs.
She's still used to buying eggs. Before, she couldn't tell the difference between free-range eggs and those sold at the market; they all tasted the same. But now, she truly feels free-range eggs are more fragrant. Especially when they're cooked with firewood and sprinkled with scallions from the front yard, five eggs aren't enough for a meal.
So, in stark contrast, she quietly sold most of the eggs that appeared in her space. Seeing how large her eggs were, and that they didn't require a ticket, everyone was delighted, each taking several pounds with them, leaving her with a much fatter wallet...
After buying chicken eggs and duck eggs, Cheng Zhenzhu saw sesame cakes with five-nut filling and walked over to order three big bags.
In fact, she didn't like the ones with five-nut fillings very much, and the sesame ones were just so-so, but she liked the ones with one or two fillings, and she wasn't picky about the ones with six or eight fillings. She always ate them happily, and would pick up and eat the remaining cakes and fallen sesame seeds... Thinking of this, Cheng Zhenzhu asked for two more bags, and used up all the non-staple food coupons she had saved.
They love to eat, so we should give them enough, right?
"Mom, popsicles!" Liu Tiao saw his mother bought sesame cakes, his eyes lit up, and he reminded her of the popsicles again. This was what he wanted to eat the most right now. He missed it when he couldn't have it.
"Well, let's go buy some popsicles." Cheng Zhenzhu touched Liu Luobutou with amusement.
When Wang Xiongtian heard that the children wanted to eat popsicles, he immediately said happily, "You want popsicles? Grandpa Wang will buy them for you. Can you lead the way for Grandpa Wang?"
Several people looked at his mother at the same time. They didn't know whether it was okay or not.
Cheng Zhenzhu nodded to the sensible people and said, "Well, go ahead. You must say thank you to Grandpa Wang."
After hearing this, the kids immediately thanked Grandpa Wang loudly, and then ran ahead happily.
"No thanks, no thanks..." Wang Xiongtian followed happily. It's only on days like this that there's hope.
When Jiu Tiao saw his brothers all running away, he suddenly wanted to go out to the fields.
Zhao Dali felt that he had seen through his nephew's thoughts, and decisively reached out his hand and said, "Jiu Tiao, do you want Uncle Dali to take you there?"
"Oh~" When Jiujo saw the hand being stretched out, he knew that she wanted to hug him. He pouted his little mouth, looked at the hand stretched out in front of him, and then looked at his mother.
"Go ahead, Jiu Tiao." Cheng Zhenzhu encouraged the little one, "Brother and the others are here too."
"Duoduo, Duoduo~" Jiu Tiao understood and slowly stretched out his hand. He was a smart boy and knew that following his brother was the right thing to do!
The place where popsicles were sold was not too far away, right within sight. Zhao Dali picked up his warm and soft little nephew and took a few big strides over.
Sun Xiaode looked at his nephew who had been taken away, then looked at the things in his left and right hands, and couldn't help feeling a little annoyed. He should have reached out faster so that he could hold his lovely nephew.
"Grandpa Wang, I want red bean popsicles~" San Tiao chose between two kinds of popsicles, then raised his little hand and said.
The red bean popsicle is three cents, and the cream popsicle is five cents. He decided to eat the red bean popsicle first. He would eat the cream popsicle next time.
"Grandpa Wang, I want cream popsicles." Liu Tiao stared at the foam box and shook his head happily.
Eight followed his six brothers and asked for cream. Seven hesitated for a while and finally asked for cream popsicles, which he and his three brothers could share.
The man who had just received the popsicle was tearing off the paper wrapper, and was already sucking on the one or two popsicles next to him, with a very happy expression on his face.
"Yaoyao~Yaoyao~" Jiu Tiao, who was carried over, saw that his brothers each held a steaming stick in their hands, and they were so beautiful that he also wanted to be beautiful.
The nine little guys were very cunning. When they saw that their “want” was not understood, they started shouting “eat, eat” again.
"Jiujiu, you can't eat this." Rokujiu ate with a smile on his face, not caring about Jiujiu's feelings. After all, he had been living like this since he was a child.
While his brother was eating, he would watch from the side, or he would just eat a little.
Now I have changed to nine, hehe...
"Hmph~" Jiu Tiao, who was being held high up, understood what he heard and reached out to knock on his brother Liu Tiao.
It was Mom who asked him to come. Mom didn't say he couldn't eat it, so it was okay to eat it. This brother is stupid.
