Chapter 84
Aunt Zhang really doesn't understand why her son doesn't want to have another child. More children means more helpers, which is such a good thing!
She continued to persuade him, "Son, don't say anything else. Even if it's not a grandson, a girl will do. With your ability, you can find a good family for her and help our Haohao."
Zhang Jianyuan: "No, no, I don't want any children. I don't want a son or a daughter. Just one Haohao is enough. Besides, Mom, didn't you and Dad only give birth to me? Oh, don't say these things. I'm going to sleep first. I'm tired all day." After saying that, he threw down his dishes and went back to the house.
Aunt Zhang: “…”
It's so sad. Could it be that my son has been brainwashed by what I say outside? Although she always says good things about Haohao, there is only one child in the family. It's too little!
.
At the Bi family, the four sisters are also eating.
It was the first time for Bi Chunliu to eat this kind of jar meat. It looked similar to braised pork, but the lean meat was not dry and the fat was not greasy, and it had a special aroma.
Bi Weiguo explained: "My master said that this jar meat recipe is a famous dish of Tianjin. This time, a leader from Tianjin came, so my master made it. He said that his father used to cook this dish without even adding a drop of water, and he said that he didn't learn the skill."
"Hmm, no wonder it smells so good!" Bi Qiuguo carefully sipped the remaining fragrance in his mouth.
Bi Weiguo thought for a moment, then whispered to Bi Chunliu, "Sister, I heard Master talking to someone. Someone wants to ask him to change his job to the government cafeteria."
Bi Chunliu: "Did your master agree?"
Bi Weiguo: "Master said he would think about it. If Master goes, then do I have to follow Master to the government cafeteria?"
Bi Xiahe poured two glasses of water and handed one to her eldest sister. "Second brother, you don't have to think about that now. Just follow your master. Master Cai will definitely make arrangements for you."
Bi Chunliu nodded. She thought so too. It was normal for a chef to bring two familiar assistants with him when he changed jobs.
"Oh, that's right." It was Bi Weiguo's first day at work, and he had just sorted out the people in the kitchen. He was worried that if he moved to another place, he would have to start recognizing people again.
9:30 pm.
Bi Chunliu called out to his three younger brothers and sisters who were still chatting and laughing, "Alright, hurry up and pack up. I don't have work tomorrow. Xia He, Qiu Guo, do you want to follow me up the mountain?"
Bi Qiuguo said happily, "Let's go, eldest sister. My third sister and I are so bored at home. My third sister keeps urging me to do my homework, and I'm almost done!"
Bi Xiahe glanced at him, and Bi Qiuguo didn't dare to say anything else. He just looked at his elder sister pleadingly, his two big eyes both saying, "Save me!"
Bi Chunliu: "...Okay, let's go at 8 o'clock to avoid catching up with the heat."
Bi Qiuguo: "Hey, okay, second brother, wait for us to find something and come back to share it with you!"
Bi Weiguo: “…” The fourth one is really showing off!
.
The next morning, after breakfast, several people prepared to go out.
Bi Xiahe locked the door. Bi Chunliu saw Bai Xingzi glance at them and left in a hurry.
Aunt Bai wouldn't still be looking for Director Yao, right? Bi Chunliu felt sorry for the miserable Director Yao again. How miserable...
Bi Weiguo went out with his three sisters. He went to work, while his three sisters went up the mountain.
This time they didn't take a car, but walked. Along the way, Bi Qiuguo was jumping up and down in front. Bi Chunliu glanced at her fourth sister who was almost going crazy, then looked at her quiet third sister and said, "Xia He, it's okay for you and Qiuguo to play at home. How about I give you some money and you can go buy something to eat or play with?"
Xia He seemed to be getting more and more quiet. Even if her sister was crazy, she didn't want her sister to be worried. Although Lin Daiyu was beautiful, it would be bad for her health if she kept it in. If there was something wrong, she had to vent it out!
Bi Xiahe pursed her lips and smiled, "Sister, I don't need it, I'm fine..."
"All right then."
The three of them walked into the mountains and began looking for food. Bi Qiuguo also found a peach tree. The peaches on it were not big and were slightly pink.
Bi Qiuguo picked the one he thought looked the best, plucked a leaf from the side and wiped the hair off the peach, then took a bite. "Hmm, not bad, a little sweet."
Bi Chunliu also picked one and said, "Xia He, try it, it's okay." Xia He was afraid of sourness and didn't dare to eat it. After listening to her elder sister's words, she picked the peach.
After eating the peach, Bi Chunliu looked up at the peach tree, then at her two sisters, "Do you two dare to go up there?" The peach tree didn't look very thick, and she was afraid it couldn't bear her weight.
Bi Qiuguo rubbed his hands together, "Big sister, I'll do it!"
"Okay, then Qiuguo, go up there and pick the peaches and divide them into four portions. Each of the three of us will give you two extra."
"OK!"
Facts proved that Bi Qiuguo was not very capable either. Once he climbed up the tree, he dared not move and held on to the trunk tightly with his hands. Whenever Bi Chunliu and the other man picked peaches from a branch, Bi Qiuguo would press down hard with his feet. Only then did the three of them pick half of the peaches from the lower branches.
When it was time to get down from the tree, Bi Qiuguo encountered another problem and she didn't dare to come down.
Bi Chunliu: "..." She had no choice but to stand under the tree, let her sister slide down slowly, and then step on her shoulders and slowly go down.
After Bi Qiuguo came down, her eyes were still red, and she said embarrassedly: "Sister, I just want one more peach."
Bi Xiahe was amused by her timid sister and laughed.
It was almost noon, and the three of them were preparing to eat the food they brought. It was a hot day, and they had been covered up all morning, so the food was still hot.
"Sister Chunliu? Is that you?"
Bi Chunliu looked up and saw that it was Sister Ding Eryu whom she had met before.
"It's me, Sister Eryu. You're here on the mountain too?" Bi Chunliu shouted loudly, and then quietly introduced Ding Eryu to her two sisters.
Bi Xiahe covered the basket.
Next to Ding Eryu was a round-faced but serious woman who looked to be in her fifties or sixties. The two of them walked over to the three sisters, and Ding Eryu asked, "Sister Chunliu, is this your sister?"
Bi Chunliu nodded, "This is my third sister Xia He, and my fourth sister Qiu Guo."
Ding Eryu still looked the same, laughing heartily as she praised, "You two are so pretty! Are you eating? How can you eat just this? It's so dry and choking. Why don't you go to my house? We have a lot of food prepared at home these two days, and you can join in the fun." She then introduced the auntie next to her to Bi Chunliu, "This is my auntie, auntie, this is the sister Chunliu I was talking about. She works at the textile factory, she's amazing!"
Bi Chunliu quickly waved his hands, "No, no, I'm just a clerk, doing odd jobs."
Ding Eryu reached out to pull her, "Go, sister, my husband's cousin is getting married the day after tomorrow. You know who he's marrying, it's Wenli."
Wenli?
Who is this?
Ding Eryu's aunt smiled, which diluted the seriousness on her face. "Our village is very close, let's go."
Bi Chunliu tried to recall what she knew about Wen Li, whom Ding Eryu had mentioned. Was Wang Datian's ex-wife, who had been having an affair with the spy Yuan Hongxia, named Wen Li? Was it her?
"Okay, I'll go to Sister Eryu's house to get acquainted. Next time I come, I'll bring Sister Eryu some chili sauce I made. My younger brothers and sisters all say it's very delicious!" Bi Chunliu agreed.
Ding Eryu's aunt walked in front, Bi Xiahe and Bi Qiuguo walked in the middle, Bi Chunliu and Ding Eryu walked at the end, and the group of five walked towards the village.
On the way, Ding Eryu and Bi Chunliu murmured quietly, "I really didn't expect my husband's cousin to be interested in Wenli. If I had known earlier that they were destined to be together, Wenli wouldn't have to suffer at the hands of that bastard Wang Datian. But fortunately, Wenli is still young. Once they get married, she can take her two children with her to the army, and the three of them won't have to stay in the village anymore. That's a good thing too."
Bi Chunliu: "Then why couldn't your cousin be with Wenli before?" From what Sister Eryu said, your cousin is a soldier, so his conditions should be okay, right?
"My aunt is my cousin's stepmother. His biological mother died when he was four or five years old, and my uncle later married my aunt. Dagang, my cousin, had a very stubborn temper when he was young. He felt that he couldn't stay at home, so he ran away to join the army. Later, my aunt and my uncle said that she wanted to find him a wife, but he said that he was injured and couldn't have children, so he disagreed. Since then, my uncle and aunt have never mentioned this matter again.
A while ago, he came back to visit his family and heard about Wenli's situation. He told my uncle that he wanted to marry her. Wenli probably couldn't stay in the village anymore, so he agreed. They'll have the wedding the day after tomorrow, and leave the day after that."
Ding Eryu continued, "My aunt looks difficult to approach, but she's actually very soft-hearted. She doesn't cause much trouble and is very kind to Dagang. Her two daughters-in-law also speak well of their mother-in-law. After Wenli and Dagang get married, they won't have to worry about things here anymore. It won't be a big deal if they don't come back."
Bi Chunliu nodded, "Is that so..."
Ding Eryu's village was really close, and the five of them were all fast walkers. After walking for more than ten minutes, Bi Chunliu saw courtyards one after another, which looked similar to her hometown Tongxi Village.
"Come in quickly. Dahu, Erhu, Sanhu, come out quickly, there are guests." Ding Eryu shouted as he entered the yard.
"Mom, who is it?" A round-headed little boy ran out of the house, followed by an older child who was holding a smaller one in his arms.
Ding Eryu washed his hands and took his youngest son over. "This is your Aunt Chunliu, and these are her two younger sisters, Aunt Xiahe and Aunt Qiuguo."
Bi Chunliu looked at Da Hu, who seemed even bigger than Bi Qiuguo, and she didn't have to call him "Auntie"...
Erhu looked about seven or eight years old, laughing and calling for help. Ding Eryu patted the youngest Sanhu and said, "Hurry up and call for help!"
"Auntie!" Little Sanhu uttered a sound, accompanied by a torrent of saliva. Ding Eryu made a disgusted sound, handed Sanhu to Dahu, and went to the house to get a bib for Sanhu.
Bi Chunliu hurriedly let out a "hmm" and rummaged through his pockets to find two candies. Bi Xiahe took one out of her own pocket and gave it to her eldest sister. Only then did Bi Chunliu give all the candies to the three tigers.
Erhu shouted in surprise: "Mom, Aunt Chunliu gave us candy!!"
Ding Eryu: "I see. Have you thanked Aunt Chunliu?"
Erhu thanked her loudly: "Thank you, Aunt Chunliu! Thank you, Aunt Xiahe! Thank you, Aunt Qiuguo!"
Bi Xiahe and Bi Qiuguo: "...You're welcome."
Ding Eryu said angrily, "Sister, I asked you to come here. I'm not being polite to you. Don't give the child anything. This candy is so precious! Come in quickly. The child's grandmother has prepared the meal."
Bi Chunliu quickly responded and then took his two sisters into the house.
