Chapter 65 Xu Shuangyan and Xu Shuangfeng
"Mom, I'm going to the village to shout too." When Li Lao Da saw that everyone had left, he hurriedly raised his hand, fearing that if he was late, he would not be able to earn five cents today.
"Go ahead. If you need a gift, you can deliver it. If you need to buy something, you can ask someone to come to your house."
"Oh, I understand, mom." Before Boss Li finished speaking, he had already run away.
Si Ya was about to make a scene again, but San Ya quickly held her hand and coaxed her, "Don't cry, your sisters and brothers have gone out to work, and we will help grandma at home. Be good, and there will be delicious food tomorrow."
Si Ya licked her lips and rushed to Qin Fangci's feet like a cannonball, "Granny, grandma, grandma."
Qin Fangci touched her little head and said, "Be good."
"Saya, take your sister and pick up some small gravel nearby," Qin Fangci gestured, "something this size will do."
"I understand, grandma." San Ya was very happy. They helped and would get money tonight.
Only Mrs. Du and Qin Fangci were left in the yard, and Mrs. Du felt inexplicably nervous.
"Mom, don't you want the hot pepper leaves anymore?"
"No, adding hot pepper leaves directly is too pungent. Let's make the five-spice first. Next time, wait for the second child to go to the grocery store and buy some dogwood."
Chili peppers had not yet appeared in this era, and Qin Fangci felt very sorry. If there were chili peppers, she could do more.
Mrs. Du became even more nervous after hearing this, rubbing her hands, not knowing what to do.
She also wanted to go out and pick some water pepper leaves, but she couldn't go out to sell meat, so she earned five cents less than others.
Qin Fangci wanted to let this pregnant woman have some rest.
But seeing her fidgeting look.
"I'll teach you how to get Luju seeds."
"Hey, mother."
"When the seedlings grow, I'll mark one for each of you and the three girls. When the Lu orange trees grow and bear fruit, they'll be yours. You can eat them or sell them as you please."
Mrs. Du looked up in surprise, her nose felt sore, and she quickly lowered her head.
"Don't be too happy too soon. It takes five or six years for a Luju tree to grow. If you don't take good care of it, it might die halfway through. Whether it can even bear fruit is still a question."
Mrs. Du hummed with a nasal tone, but she was very happy even so.
That was something specially given to them by their mother-in-law. They had never had that before, let alone a tree. In the past, their mother-in-law would have rolled her eyes if they had drunk one more sip of soup.
My mother-in-law has really changed now, as if she has become a completely different person from the inside out.
She stood beside her and dared to breathe a little louder. She no longer had to hold her breath halfway, but let it out bit by bit like a thief.
Thanks to my uncle, thanks to him for his promising future in studies, thanks to him for telling my mother-in-law that scholars cannot have a bad reputation.
If Lu Ju really grows up, she and her children will also have a tree.
very nice.
Just like life at home, I still can’t imagine that they haven’t had a full meal for several days.
"I will serve you well." Hope arose in Mrs. Du's heart, and her men became more careful and attentive.
Life is peaceful here.
San Ya led the way while Si Ya picked up gravel. They finally reached the intersection leading to the field.
Two little girls were walking towards this side from the other end of the road. When they saw San Ya and Siya, they looked at each other and let out a breath.
"Sister, let's go ask them. They are still young and they definitely won't tell anyone anything." The younger girl said to the older girl.
"Okay." Xu Shuangyan pulled her sister Xu Shuangfeng and walked towards San Ya and Siya.
"Little sister, do you know how to get to the Li family? It's Li Yulan's house."
San Ya raised her head and blinked her clear eyes, "Are you looking for my aunt?"
"Aunt?" Si Ya raised her head in response, and when she saw that the person coming was not her aunt, she lowered her head and started picking up small stones.
Xu Shuangyan and Xu Shuangfeng didn't expect that their question would lead to their niece Li Yulan.
"Yes, we are looking for your aunt. Is your aunt at home? Can you go and call her out?"
Xu Shuangyan breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that things were going smoothly today.
Facts proved that Xu Shuangyan was too early.
"My aunt is not at home. She and my uncle went out." After saying this, San Ya lowered her head and started picking up pebbles with Siya.
What "unfinished" means is that you are not at home and I can't call you, so you should go back.
Xu Shuangyan frowned, and Xu Shuangfeng said unhappily, "Where did she and your uncle go? It's already this late, and she's not at home. What is she doing out there?"
San Ya looked up in confusion, sensing the malice coming from the Xu sisters. She stopped talking and just took Si Ya's hand and walked back.
Her elder and second sisters had taught her that if someone bullied them, she should take her younger siblings home immediately. She was still young and could not defeat anyone.
So every time she took her younger siblings to play, she would stay near home and not go far away. As soon as her younger siblings cried, the adults at home would know, and then those bad kids would not dare to beat them.
"Hey, we haven't finished asking questions yet, why are you running?" Xu Shuangfeng was anxious to pull the person back, but Xu Shuangyan stopped her, "Don't be so fierce."
Xu Shuangyan took two quick steps and blocked the way of San Ya and Siya.
Sanya and Siya looked up at the same time. Sanya held Siya's hand tightly, wondering if her grandmother would come out if she started crying.
"Little sister, don't be afraid. My sister is just a little fierce, but she's not a bad person. We are from Dongshi Village. We came to see your aunt because we have something to ask her. Has she been very busy these days? We haven't seen her for several days, so we thought of coming to ask if something happened to her. We often play together, and we thought if she needs any help, we can help her."
"My aunt has been very busy these days." San Ya said truthfully.
Busy going into the city, busy cutting meat, busy selling meat to make money.
Xu Shuangyan was also a little angry, but she was older after all and was better able to control her emotions.
"Does your family sell braised meat?" Xu Shuangyan decided to build some rapport with Sanya. "A few people went to our village yesterday to sell it. It smelled delicious. My dad wanted to buy some today, but no one showed up. Did your aunt and uncle go to sell braised meat?"
It turned out that he wanted to buy meat.
Sanya smiled and said, "Well, my aunt and uncle are out selling braised meat. If you want to buy some meat, we'll take you there."
Si Ya also understood and clapped her hands happily, "Looking for grandma. Rourou."
"Si Ya, let's take the sisters to our house to buy some meat, and then come back to pick up some small stones."
Si Ya nodded heavily and couldn't help but slurp her saliva.
My stomach is full, I'm just greedy.
Xu Shuangyan held Sanya and said, "Don't worry about buying meat. You can tell me about your aunt these days..."
Under Xu Shuangyan's patient coaxing, San Ya only said that her younger sister was busy selling meat.
This is the only thing I'm busy with at home.
Selling meat makes money and is happy.
Xu Shuangyan: "..."
Thinking of his father's instructions, Xu Shuangyan pulled Xu Shuangfeng and touched the five coins in his arms, "Then take us to your house to buy meat."
She still had to go and take a look.
