Duan Dinglan looked at the dates at the bottom of the jar, reached in and took one out, and his eyes suddenly widened.
"You said it was your sister who transformed it?"
Song Xiaoliu nodded, "After you put her to sleep, there was nothing on the kang, right?"
Duan Dinglan nodded stiffly.
"It was there within ten minutes when I went in. It must have been made by my sister for us to eat."
There was one thing Song Laoliu didn't say. He heard his grandmother talking in her sleep last night, saying that her sister was a fairy who had been reincarnated into their family.
In Song Xiaoliu's world, it is reasonable for gods to transform things.
Duan Dinglan lost her composure and her hands holding the dates were shaking like sieves.
She subconsciously wanted to call her mother-in-law, but when the words came to her lips, she remembered that her mother-in-law had gone to her parents' home to borrow money.
Duan Dinglan felt a little panicked because the person she was discussing things with was not there.
Song Xiaoliu took his mother's hand and said proudly:
"Mom, why are you afraid? This is a good thing. My sister is different. She is prettier than Dongzi's sister. She is even more powerful than Dongzi's sister. She can turn into dates. She is a fairy."
Duan Dinglan said:
"You're still young, you don't understand... If this gets out to outsiders, people will believe in ghosts and gods, and maybe someone with bad intentions will come and snatch your sister away..."
Duan Dinglan was really scared.
When she saw so many dates, her first reaction was not that she could eat them or sell them for money, but that she was afraid that outsiders would see her and say that Xiao Qi was a ghost, or that someone with bad intentions wanted to take her away for their own benefit.
She would rather not have her daughter bring any blessings or benefits to the family.
As long as she is healthy and safe, without any disaster or misfortune.
Song Xiaoliu raised his eyes and raised his fist.
"Let's see who dares! Even if my sister is a ghost or a god, she's a good ghost or a good god! If anyone wants to take her away, I will fight him to the death! Not only me, but also my eldest brother, second brother, third brother, fourth brother, and fifth brother will fight him to the death!"
When Song Xiaoliu said this, it was as if he had seen the bad guy right in front of him. His little chest kept rising and falling, as if if this person really existed, he would risk his life to protect his sister.
Duan Dinglan's eyes reddened, and she hugged Song Xiaoliu: "Xiaoliu, you are a good brother. When our parents are gone, your sister will still have to rely on you. No matter what happens, you must protect her."
Song Rushuang heard the conversation between her mother and brother in the inner room. She cried so hard that her little pearls fell down one by one and she even hiccupped.
How could she have deserved to have such a sincere family member towards her?
In her previous life, she was an orphan without any relatives. Even because she had a conspicuous birthmark on her face, no one was willing to adopt her.
She watched as her playmates were taken away by their new parents one by one, until only she and a few other disabled children were left.
She makes a wish every year on her birthday, hoping to find her parents. It doesn’t matter who they are, as long as they can give her a home, she is willing to call them mom and dad.
Now, not only has her wish come true, but she has also been given more.
Song Rushuang cried even more uncontrollably.
For the first time in sixteen years, she cried heartily, crying for her heart that had no place to rest in her previous life, and crying for the fallen leaves that had roots in this life.
Duan Dinglan ran in when she heard the crying and picked up her daughter:
"Oh, what's wrong? Why are you crying so sadly all of a sudden? Did you bump into something or fall?"
Song Xiaoliu was also frightened. It was the first time he heard his sister cry so miserably. He was so anxious that he kept turning around at Duan Dinglan's feet.
Song Rushuang buried her little head in her mother's arms, crying loudly, with snot bubbles coming out one after another.
I don’t know how long I cried, but I actually fell asleep.
After waking up, she suddenly figured it out after having eaten and drunk her fill.
From now on, when taking things out of the space, she no longer needs to avoid her mother and brother. Although they are not modern people and their cultural level is not high, they will definitely not treat her as a monster.
All she has to do is help her family live a good life as much as possible.
The rest of her family members covered for her.
So, in the next few days, Duan Dinglan always found piles of winter dates in various places.
In the kang, in the quilt, in the pillowcase, in the enamel basin for washing feet...
But fortunately, it is only within the reach of the girls in the house.
The Song family has many sons and many rooms. This room was built specifically for Song Laoliu, and is usually where Song Laoliu and his wife and son live.
However, ever since Duan Dinglan became pregnant, her mother-in-law moved in with her and took care of her at all times.
The Song family also has rules. Although the six brothers are as close as one family, they will not enter and leave their brothers' rooms at will.
So the matter of the dates has not been discovered by my uncle, aunt and sister-in-law until now.
Duan Dinglan was very worried.
Because there are more and more dates.
She found an old bed sheet and put it in a bag on top of the cabinet.
But now I can no longer hold it back, and sometimes dates will fall from the cabinet in the middle of the night.
And the first batch of dates began to soften slightly.
At first she refused to eat it, thinking that it was a gift from the gods to her daughter, so how could they eat it.
But you can’t keep eating more and more, and if you don’t eat it soon it will go bad.
I had no choice but to eat dates with my son for three meals a day.
It tasted quite good at first. Duan Dinglan had never eaten such sweet and crispy dates before, and her heart was filled with happiness.
Song Xiaoliu was also very beautiful. Dongzi used dates to offset the cost of homework, but he refused it without hesitation and insisted on paying for it.
The ones from his restaurant are so delicious that we can hardly finish them!
But after a few days, Duan Dinglan and Song Xiaoliu could no longer eat because their teeth felt sour.
"Mom, why don't we send some to my uncle and aunt?"
Duan Dinglan shook her head. "Xiao Liu, it's not that I'm reluctant to give these dates away, but if we give them away, people will definitely ask about their origins. How are we going to explain this? Let's wait until your grandma comes back and discuss it with her first."
My mother-in-law is the head of the family. When disasters struck a few years ago, every family had several children die, but only the six children of the old Song family survived.
It’s all thanks to my mother-in-law’s intelligence and diligence, she’s better at finding ways to make a living than other families.
So her son and daughter-in-law all trust her very much.
Only with the mother-in-law stepping in and holding a family meeting to explain the source of the dates and ensure that no one tells anyone else can Xiaoqi's safety be guaranteed.
As for my father-in-law Song Liangji, he has little say at home, so it's useless to talk to him.
Song Xiaoliu nodded, shut up obediently, and never mentioned it again.
Duan Dinglan sighed, picked up Song Rushuang and whispered:
"My daughter, tell the immortal that the reward is enough and that he is very grateful. There is no need to reward him any more. It would be a waste."
After hearing this, Song Rushuang giggled, revealing her bare gums and her big eyes curved into crescents.
