Then the little lion came over to join in the fun. The two cousins joined in the fun and fiddled with the flowers.
Because they were very careful and didn't hurt the little deer, she didn't say anything. She even looked in the mirror at the braids her two brothers had tied for her.
"It looks good." Jiujo said happily.
The little lion immediately nodded and said it looked good.
Really? The little deer looked at his two brothers, then looked at his own pigtail that was about to burst out of the mirror, and shook it with a bit of doubt.
"Really, really!" Jiu Tiao nodded and raised four fingers to the sky.
"Really." The little lion followed.
"It's very strange." Xiao Huzi is a straightforward guy with average aesthetic taste, so he said it immediately.
The second one was more aesthetic, but he was more tactful, saying only, "It won't match the braid on the right."
The little deer glanced at the faces of his brothers and sisters, and finally decided happily, "That's it!"
Then, walking among the group of older brothers and sisters, the little girl in flowery clothes, with a sky-high braid on the left and a small pigtail on the right, got 100% of the attention as soon as she left the yard.
It was indeed beautiful! Seeing everyone looking at her, the little deer smiled, feeling very satisfied. She happily walked forward, holding the hand of one of her heroic brothers...
Cheng Zhenzhu brought her group of children on board, and her family alone filled up one side of the seats.
Chang Huaiying, who was taking her third daughter to the supply and marketing cooperative across the street, couldn't help but be amazed.
This Pearl family is really prosperous! Seven of them are enough, but now six more have arrived. They need a lot of food! Aren't her family members quite wealthy? Why did the child run to their little island?
Is this another form of subsidy from my mother's family? Look, she's already running to town...
Meeting Chang Huaiying's gaze, Cheng Zhenzhu smiled and chatted about some family matters. The others also greeted her, and after chatting for a while, they headed to town.
There were snacks at home, so several people went straight to the grocery factory.
Cheng Zhenzhu took out all the tickets she'd saved. They contained several pounds of meat tickets. After some discussion and planning with the other kids, she managed to buy two pounds of pork belly and three pounds of fat for making oil. She also managed to secure two ribs, a set of pig offal, and a few pieces of pig's blood.
Several children were carrying meat, beaming with joy. Cheng Zhenzhu had also gotten a few pounds of eggs. Since the island was now allowing chickens, egg coupons had been abolished.
The last five pounds of eggs, including the eggs and the basket, cost me three dollars and twenty cents.
Sanni's eyes darted around as she calculated: each of them had received ten yuan for food. Then there were the little lion, the little deer, and the others, ten yuan each. That made a total of sixty yuan.
But now all this is almost seven yuan. And then my second aunt said she wanted to buy two chickens, and if there were any geese, she'd buy one too. Ten yuan at a time wasn't enough. Grandma always said Mom was a spendthrift, but she actually thought my second aunt was pretty good with it...
"Mom, there are still popsicles~" Liu Tiao has been thinking about it.
"Well, go buy it. I want one with red beans." Cheng Zhenzhu handed the money to Yizi and asked her to go buy it.
Liu Tiao ran very fast and asked for a cream popsicle, while Ba Tiao asked for a red bean popsicle. He wanted to share the food with his brother Liu Tiao.
The other kids also found companions to eat with.
The old lady selling popsicles smiled widely when she saw that she had sold more than ten popsicles at once.
The children who had tasted the popsicles were also very happy. Da Ni and Er Ni ate their popsicles and looked at their happy brothers and sisters, and they all smiled knowingly. Such a day is really...
"It's so cool!" Liu Tiao licked the popsicle and was about to throw the two pounds of fat in his hand.
"Everyone, walk carefully." Cheng Zhenzhu, with empty hands, looked at the dozen or so kids walking in a mess in front of her and gave them a few words of advice.
"Okay, okay!" This was Jiu Tiao's response. The little kid walked among the older kids, not at all conspicuous. But his purring, childish voice was still very recognizable...
On the way back, the dozen or so people, with their bags and bags, still attracted a lot of attention. While everyone was envious and jealous, they also felt a little weird when they saw that Zhenzhu had to take care of so many children by herself.
She said her parents were rich, so they sent all the kids to her. Cheng Zhenzhu didn't know how many kids she had to raise... You little brat, you're eating your father out of poverty. Your life may seem glamorous now, but I'm afraid no one will be willing to marry you when you get married in the future!
People still have to look at the long term!
Like Wang Aixiang on their island, so what if her husband is a soldier? That long-term spendthrift, with three boys at home, will have a hard time managing her in the future...
Cheng Zhenzhu had no idea her family was worried about her future marriage. After returning home, she cut half a piece of pork belly, sliced it into thin slices, and pan-fried it. Then, she added some mild green peppers and a handful of black bean sauce to make a delicious stir-fry.
Five pounds of eggs weighed about fifty. Cheng Zhenzhu fried seven of them, giving everyone half an egg. The rest was fish, shrimp, and shellfish. Each one was piled high in a large basin.
The two tables of girls and boys ate with great satisfaction as they ate the fragrant twice-cooked pork, the golden fried eggs, and the incredibly fresh seafood...
When school started, the brothers and sisters returned home, all of them looking plumper and in better shape. Little Lion, in particular, had become stronger and taller by several centimeters, as if he had suddenly grown taller...
"What delicious food did you eat this time?" Cheng Zhenyu, who was waiting at Hai City Railway Station, saw her children, who had changed significantly, coming out of the station with big schoolbags on their backs. She asked immediately with wide eyes.
After eating like this, it's obvious that she wasn't treated badly! Her baby has grown a lot, and the girls are looking visibly better! They all seem to be looking better...
"Anyway, the food is much better than at home..." When Sanni saw her mother asking, she counted the food to her mother, not missing a single one, and then told her about the extra things she had done.
For example, since the little lion didn't know how to wash clothes, she and her sisters did it for her, and they also helped with bathing. The words implied that they would be paid for their hard work.
Cheng Zhenyu nodded, "It's about money..."
Sanni straightened her body. She had just said it tentatively, but she didn't expect her mother to really give it to her. Then she would not be polite. She kept a record of every account. Two dollars and two cents, just give her two cents! Just give her two dollars.
"Ten yuan is still not enough for your second aunt. If you want to go again next year, it must not be less than 15 yuan..." Cheng Zhenyu roughly calculated and felt that ten yuan was probably not enough.
