Chapter 27 Oh my god! The madman is home!
Ming Dai had already inquired about the location of the captain's house and took Zhou Sinian directly there.
A dog heard the noise on the road and came out to bite someone to claim its sovereignty. After seeing that it was Zhou Sinian, it wailed and ran back with its tail tucked between its legs.
Mingdai couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
As expected, all people are equal in front of Zhou Sinian!
When we arrived at the captain's house, the oil lamp there was also out.
I knocked on the door, and half a minute later someone opened the door and asked, "Who is it, so late at night?"
Ming Dai said with a smile: "Are you Auntie Huang? I'm the new educated youth Ming Dai, I'm here to return the flatbed truck."
Aunt Huang was stunned, then she remembered who this was.
Since Captain Liu had already told her about Mingdai's situation, she felt pity for this poor young lady and quickly pulled her in.
"My dear girl, why did you send it here at night? It's so late at night, aren't you afraid that a wolf will take you away?"
Ming Dai shook her head quickly: "Auntie, we didn't come alone. We came together. It's okay."
Aunt Huang smiled and made way for him, thinking it was another educated youth.
"Pull the car in first, and let's talk inside..."
When she saw the tall figure pulling the cart in, she swallowed back the next sentence, "Drink some tea."
Oh my god! The madman is home!
Ming Dai didn't notice her stiffness, and helped push the car in, asking as they walked: "Auntie, where do you put the car?"
Aunt Huang was still in shock, and answered unconsciously: "Let it go...let it go...let it go to the stable..."
Ming Dai followed Zhou Sinian's instructions and let him pull her over.
After parking the car, I saw Aunt Huang still standing at the door.
She asked doubtfully, "Auntie?"
Aunt Huang finally reacted, closed the door, and slowly moved over.
Ming Dai didn't wait for her to ask, and spoke first: "Auntie, all the tools are in the car, nothing is missing. Is my uncle resting? Is it convenient for him to come in?"
Aunt Huang looked at Zhou Sinian, who was standing beside Mingdai without saying a word, swallowed, and nodded.
This madman had no intention of leaving, so she didn't dare to disagree!
I opened the door with the same mood as going to the grave. The whole family, young and old, were sitting on the kang, chatting in the dark.
"Old lady, who's here?"
Liu Dazhui asked, smacking his pipe.
Ming Dai heard the voice and said, "Uncle, it's me, Ming Dai. I'm here to return the car."
"Oh, Miss Mingdai, come in quickly and get on the bed. You too, it's late at night, aren't you afraid of being taken away by a wolf?"
Ming Dai smiled and replied, "Not one person."
Liu Dazhui was just about to ask if she was a new educated youth when Mingdai's next words scared him so much that he dropped his cigarette bag.
"Zhou Sinian came with me."
“Bang!”
Captain Liu's precious cigarette holder fell to the ground.
"Who are you talking about?"
Aunt Huang, who was standing by, swore that in all her 30 years of marriage, she had never heard a voice as shrill as Liu Dazhui's.
Ming Dai smiled in the darkness, but replied uncertainly: "Zhou Sinian?"
There was a moment of dead silence.
The little grandson of the Liu family, who was making a fuss and wanting to go out to play just now, now lies down obediently and doesn't lie down.
Zhou Sinian is as useful as ever.
At this moment, Zhou Sinian's attention was attracted by the tobacco pipe that was flickering on the ground. He walked forward, picked up the tobacco pipe, and stared at the tobacco pipe pot on it that was flickering on and off.
Liu Dazhu's heart bled as he watched his precious baby fall into the hands of a madman.
Ming Dai quickly stepped forward and snatched it from Zhou Sinian's hand: "Don't take other people's things. It's impolite."
The Liu family members were very nervous, fearing that the madman would get furious and beat up everyone present.
A magical scene happened. Zhou Sinian did not resist at all and let Mingdai take the cigarette bag from his hand. The tall figure stood obediently.
By the time the cigarette bag returned to his hand, Liu Dazhu hadn't reacted.
Is this still crazy?
"Old woman, light the lamp."
Hearing the captain's trembling voice, Mingdai turned on the flashlight she had brought with her.
"Uncle, I have a flashlight."
The bright light came on, and Zhou Sinian's interest was rekindled.
This time Mingdai did not refuse him. She handed him the flashlight and told him not to point it at anyone.
As expected, Zhou Sinian listened and kept taking pictures of the roof.
The Liu family members followed the light and seemed to have not reacted yet.
"Uncle?"
Mingdai's gentle call woke up Liu Dazhui. He looked at the little girl in front of him with his old eyes. He thought it was strange that a little girl as tall as Zhou Sinian could make a madman so obedient!
"My dear, is he okay now? Is he so obedient now?"
Ming Dai shook her head as she looked at the person who was still playing with the flashlight. "No, she's still not obedient. I can only coax her with delicious food. Fortunately, she likes the food I cook, so as long as I tell her to give her good food, she'll be obedient. She's helped me a lot, but she eats too fast. I plan to go to the city after work tomorrow to see if I can buy some food. If not, I'll have to write a letter to my father's leader."
Aunt Huang looked at her with sympathy. In the past few days, Crazy had helped the young educated youth chop several carts of firewood. The villagers were all jealous. After all, there was not even one such capable laborer in the entire Hongqi Commune. Some people said a lot of sour words.
Now that I hear it, I understand what they paid for.
She knew that the young educated youth had just received 20 kilograms of fine grains, and now it was gone?!
I can’t afford it! I can’t afford it!
Liu Dazhu also knew that Mingdai was at a disadvantage in this matter. He had a good time going to the countryside, but before he could earn any work points, he had to bear a burden that he could not get rid of.
But he had no choice but to nod and say, "Okay, I'll write the note and have Third Master take you there when we go to work tomorrow. It's a good time to go crazy... Zhou Sinian's package is about to arrive, so go and pick it up for me."
Mingdai was naturally happy to be able to take a car instead of walking, not to mention the unexpected gains, which was even better.
Mingdai thanked her with a smile, took the package in her hand and handed it to Aunt Huang.
"Auntie, I just got here and you are taking care of me like this. I made some dumplings for you and me to try. I will have to trouble you and me to take care of me in the future. I am young, so if I do something wrong, please teach me."
Aunt Huang held the bundle and looked at the head of the household.
"Take it. It's a token of my love. Come to my house for dinner when you have time. If you need the car, come back and get it."
Mingdai responded with a smile, and said goodbye to Zhou Sinian who was still playing with the flashlight.
Seeing Zhou Sinian following obediently, the Liu family was still very confused.
This is the first time a madman is so obedient!
After seeing the person off and closing the door, Auntie Huang was still very surprised.
"The old saying goes that there is always someone stronger than you. It's true. I've never seen a madman so obedient before."
She urgently needed someone to share her package with, but unfortunately everyone on the kang was staring at the package Mingdai brought.
Huang Dalian, the eldest sister-in-law of the Huang family, is the niece of Huang's mother-in-law from the same village. She has always been spoiled and gave birth to two grandsons, Tiedan and Goudan, so she is not afraid of her mother-in-law. She smiled and said, "Mom, you said that the cooking of city people is different from that of us country people. How come it smells so good? Your grandson can't help but want to taste it."
Aunt Huang cursed: "I think it's your greedy bug that's causing trouble."
Tiedan and Goudan were also very helpful and kept pestering grandma to eat dumplings.
Because the second daughter-in-law of Huang Lao Er's family had only daughters, Huang Xing and Huang Tao, Zhou Pandai, the second daughter-in-law, felt that she couldn't hold her head up, but she didn't say anything.
Finally, Aunt Huang's little son Liu Laifa even asked for food.
Aunt Huang then opened the cloth while cursing.
Looking at the two rows of six palm-sized dumplings, each one is round and very beautiful.
"Don't underestimate me, I have very deft hands and I can make it look just like the real thing!"
Aunt Huang praised while picking up one, very softly.
The two grandsons each received one, the youngest son received one, and the two granddaughters each received one.
Of the remaining two, she gave one to the old man. With one left, she looked at the eldest daughter-in-law's eager eyes, and then at the second daughter-in-law who was lowering her head, and she sighed.
The eldest son's wife saw this and said, "Mom, you eat. Lai Fu and I will just eat some for the children."
Aunt Huang nodded with satisfaction. The old lady was really caring.
Before she could decide who should get the last dumpling, her eldest grandson shouted in surprise, "Meat! There's meat!"
The little grandson also shouted: "Eggs! More eggs!"
Aunt Huang was surprised. She opened the dumpling in her hand and found that it was indeed filled with stuffing. She didn't know what kind of meat it was, but it was shiny and could be seen clearly in the moonlight.
"Oh, how can I return this gift? Come on, stop eating it and bring it back to me!"
In the countryside, people usually give and take, and the returns are pretty much the same.
It was obvious that they couldn't return the gifts that the young educated youth brought today.
When Tiedan and Goudan heard that they had to return it, they got anxious and stuffed it directly into their mouths and tried to swallow it, choking and almost rolling their eyes.
Huang Tao held the dumpling in her hand. She and her sister didn't eat a single bite and planned to share it with their parents. Now they have to return it and are very reluctant to do so.
The younger son Liu Laifa looked at the dumplings and was reluctant to give them back.
He grew up and realized how difficult life was at home.
Looking at his grandson crying after the dumpling was picked out, Liu Dazhui smashed his cigarette bag and pinched the still warm dumpling.
"Eat it, give it to the child, and I will return this gift slowly."
Aunt Huang also felt sorry for her grandson and silently withdrew her hand.
In the end, only Tiedan, Goudan, Huangtao and Huangxing ate the dumplings. Even the youngest son Liu Laifa chose to keep the dumplings.
Early the next morning, for the first time, Liu Dazhu's family had porridge with sausage and egg drops.
The dumpling skin is torn into small pieces and evenly placed in each person's bowl.
Drinking a bowl of greasy porridge, Liu Dazhui and his family felt that they must celebrate today!
