Zhou Xiang nodded and said, "Yes, I bought it from a friend in the county town. Oh, and there are clothes too. I'll get them for you."
Zhou Xiang went into the south room and found Ling Ran's clothes and shoes on his eldest brother's kang.
"It's yours. I forgot to give it to you last week because of that incident."
Ling Ran's mouth was grinning so much that it almost reached his ears. He took it and held it in his arms. He reminded the little girl to remember to buy clothes for herself. It was worth it that he played the victim because of the clothes incident.
If he knew that Zhou Xiang almost forgot again, he wondered how he would feel.
He hung the bag of clothes on the handlebars and started catching chickens with Zhou Niao. "That's enough. How many are you going to catch and bring to my house?"
"There are eleven of them here. Go grab five. Didn't Aunt Ling say she was going to send them to your grandfather? With so many chickens, they'll urinate and defecate all over the yard every day. I have to be very careful when I walk. It's so annoying."
Ling Ran accepted it gladly. The weather was hot and his grandfather had a poor appetite. The chicken was delicious, so maybe his grandfather would be willing to eat a few more bites!
The poor rooster was pressed into the snakeskin bag again, with its head sticking out.
Ling Ran took the bag and clamped it on the right side of the back seat of his bicycle.
Zhou wanted to go into the house and smuggle out some fruits he had picked from his own trees and put them in a cloth bag.
Ling Ran saw her holding a book and a cloth bag, which was obviously bulging. "What are you carrying?"
"Uncle Ling ate some peaches from our peach tree last time. I think he really liked them. There are still a few left. Give them all to him."
"Humph! If you don't give it to him, send it to grandpa. Grandpa is old and is more suitable for eating peaches than him."
Ling Ran didn't think he was jealous of his father. It was his duty to respect his grandfather.
"It's up to you. I've sent you home anyway. You can arrange it as you like."
The two of them each rode away on a bicycle. The omnipresent Yang Ji appeared again, and Zhou Xiang suspected that she was monitoring his family.
Ling Ran looked at Yang Ji who was blocking her with an expressionless face. Without waiting for her to open her mouth, she kicked him, and Yang Ji fell into the mud beside the small stone bridge.
She deserved her bad luck. Ling Ran had already given her a lot of patience before. She didn't think that it would be easy for a girl to pursue a boy, did she?
Besides, it would be strange if you didn't fall into the mud when you were trying to stop people on this narrow, broken stone bridge.
However, Ling Ran must have done it on purpose. It is impossible for a devil to change his evil nature. I believe that if he were not on this broken stone bridge, Ling Ran would have kicked her into the river.
This river extends from behind the processing house in the south to one mile behind Yang Ji's house in the north before turning into Tuohe River.
It can be said to be the west wall of the family compound. People pass by the river when entering and exiting. As long as you dare to stop her on the road, I believe she will have the opportunity to go down to the river to take a bath next time.
Watching Ling Ran riding away without looking around, Zhou Xiang also got on his bike and followed him.
Yang Ji struggled for a long time before pulling himself out of the mud. He looked at the deserted road with hatred, tears of humiliation flowing uncontrollably, and slapped the broken stone bridge with his muddy hands.
Just wait, one day, I will trample you all under my feet.
If you marry into the Ling family, you will destroy the entire Ling family. If you don’t marry into the Ling family, you will marry someone better than the Ling family, and still destroy the Ling family.
Zhou Xiang didn't know that Yang Ji had turned hatred out of "love", so she followed Ling Ran to the Ling family.
He was warmly welcomed by Dong Yunrong again.
"Think about it, you didn't come last time because you had something to do, so why are you here so late today?"
"There were guests at home, and they just left."
"Oh, then hurry into the house! Ranran, what's that in the back of your car?"
Ling Ran took down the snakeskin bag and said, "The big rooster you wanted."
Dong Yunrong was extremely excited when she heard this. "Really? Is it the same as that day?"
Zhou Xiang nodded, "Yes, I bought them all, a total of eleven. I caught five. Is that enough? If not, catch more. Didn't you say you wanted to give them to Mr. Ling?"
Oh, and these peaches, Ling Ran also said he would give them to the old man. They are from my own tree."
"That's enough, that's enough. Let's keep two and send three to the old man. Peaches are delicious too. I ate them last time. They're suitable for the old man."
Dong Yunrong took the cloth bag without hesitation. She was her future daughter-in-law, so why should she be polite to her?
He shouted into the house, "Ling Quan, come out and put the chickens away."
Then he said gently to Zhou Xiang, "You and Ling Ran go into the room to study. You don't have to worry about this place."
Ling Ran dropped the bag, washed his hands, and called Zhou Xiang into the house, "Let's go! It's almost ten o'clock."
The two of them went into the house to study. Dong Yunrong and Ling Quan opened the bag and grabbed the fish one by one. Hmm! Thinking that the girl was very careful, she untied the hemp rope wrapped around the rooster's legs. One end of the rope was already on the chicken's leg. She tied a piece of wood directly and the chicken could move.
Look at the seven or eight peaches in the cloth bag. These should be the last ones!
"Don't eat these peaches. Ranran said he wanted to send them to his grandfather. It's getting hot, and our dad's appetite has decreased."
Ling Quan swallowed his saliva. The peaches were delicious. He hadn't tasted them during the Chinese New Year. His wife said they were delicious, so he gave them all to her.
Who knew it could be described by just two words: delicious?
"Okay, send it to Dad so he can have a taste of this delicious food too."
Yang Ji returned home covered in mud, and Yang Li was shocked. "How did you fall into the river?"
Yang Ji shook his head, "No, hurry up and help me boil some water."
"No, what does that mean?"
"Ling Ran kicked me."
"Why did he kick you? Don't wash yourself, go find mom and go to his house to make trouble."
"No, I was planning to start with Ling Ran's mom. If she makes a scene, I won't be able to start. Hurry up and boil some water. After taking a shower, I'll cook. I'll go to Ling's house this afternoon. Zhou Xiang left with Ling Ran, so he must have gone to his house. You want to avoid me? No way!"
Yang Li also felt sorry for his fourth sister. There were many brothers and sisters in the family, but the youngest was the least favored and was bullied the most.
If my fourth sister were a boy, I would be the one who suffered the most bullying. Therefore, I support my fourth sister's plan. Who doesn't want to live a good life!
The Zhou family was getting better off, and Zhou thought that life was getting better, so what was wrong with helping her fourth sister? She and her fourth sister were so close before, but now she looked down on others because she had money.
Yang Lili scooped water into the big pot, struck a match and lit the fire.
My fourth sister is alone and weak, and has been bullied like this. From now on, I will do my best to help her and let her achieve her wish.
At noon, there were indeed bean cakes and tofu on the Ling family’s table, but the tofu was fish head tofu soup.
The milky white soup and tender tofu whetted Zhou Xiang's appetite and he drank a big bowl.
After eating another half bowl of rice, Zhou Xiang held his stomach and said, "I'm so full. This fish head tofu soup is so delicious."
Ling Ran looked at her with doting eyes. She looked like a little girl in her teens, praising her mother's cooking skills. "Hmm! I want to learn this dish from my mother too."
Dong Yunrong also looked at her with amusement. This girl used to be always busy with other things and had no time to spare, and she acted like a little adult.
