It's only been a little over two years since I last visited my sister's house, and I never imagined that my nephew is doing so well!
Fan Qianzhi talked until his mouth was dry, and he didn't even have a glass of water.
Neither of my aunts mentioned dinner.
It was dark and the road was difficult to walk at night, so naturally we had to stay overnight. Even if it was just for one night, the two aunts kept pushing each other to stay, and in the end, they spent the night in the woodshed.
The woodshed reeked of decay and mold. Thirsty and hungry, his upper body was soaked with sweat, and his feet and legs were covered in mud. Fan Qian found this night unbearable.
Fan Qian woke up several times during the night and finally made it to dawn. He, along with his uncles Huang Da and Huang Er, hurried back home.
Fan Qian felt a surge of secret joy at the thought that two of his uncles would be leading the charge today.
His suffering yesterday will not have been in vain.
Neither of these two uncles can gain any advantage.
With his two uncles targeting him, even his mother, who was meticulous about every penny, had to admit defeat and had a lot of money taken from her.
Not to mention the second brother's family.
Early in the morning, Wang Guifen and Zhao Lan got ready and came to Shuiqing's place.
It just so happened that Shuiqing's family was having breakfast.
The villagers of Shanshui Village do not eat breakfast. They eat two meals a day, except during busy farming seasons when they eat three meals a day.
It's currently the off-season for farming, and Wang Guifen and Zhao Lan really hadn't expected this.
Shuiqing braised eggs last night and served them with porridge this morning. When she saw that the two girls absolutely refused to eat with her, she put six eggs in a bowl and brought them out with the tea.
The heated braised eggs were steaming hot and emitted a fragrant aroma, causing Wang Guifen and Zhao Lan to unconsciously swallow their saliva.
However, he still declined, saying, "We're used to skipping breakfast, we're not hungry."
"You can keep it for yourselves."
Eggs are considered a precious food, and this dish is usually made in small batches, counting the number of people. Shuiqing took out six at once, which means many people will miss out on them.
They came to discuss matters, not to be disliked.
"It's alright, you all know I have plenty of chickens and eggs at home, let's eat and chat." Shui Qing put down her bowl, then turned and went into the kitchen to get her porridge.
Eating in the village is not fussy; you can carry your bowl from one end of the village to the other and chat while eating, which is not considered impolite.
Wang Guifen and Zhao Lan got up at the crack of dawn, washing clothes, feeding the chickens, and weeding vegetables in the garden. They had already done a lot of work both inside and outside the house, so it would be a lie to say they weren't hungry; their stomachs had been rumbling for a long time.
I just kept enduring it, but now the aroma of the braised eggs beside me was getting stronger and stronger, and the more I tried to resist, the stronger the aroma seemed to get into my nose.
When Shuiqing tried to persuade them again, the two finally couldn't resist and each picked one up and ate it.
The first bite was a unique flavor they had never tasted before. Their eyes widened, and they were reluctant to eat it all at once, swallowing it in small, delicate bites.
After finishing one, no matter how much Shuiqing tried to persuade them, neither of them took a second one.
While drinking tea, Wang Guifen explained her purpose.
Shui Qing really didn't expect the old village chief to come and ask for her opinion.
She thought her two sisters-in-law were coming to discuss private matters between women.
She stammered, "Did I hear that right?"
This concerns the protection of the entire village.
Suddenly I feel incredibly stressed!
