Chapter 138 Milk Powder
early morning.
Zhao Yi held the little guy in his chest, carried the basket on his back and got on the bus to Shanyang County. The little guy fell asleep all the way until he arrived at his hometown.
He woke up as soon as he arrived at his grandmother's house and started crying in dissatisfaction.
"Grandma's Dabao, why are you crying? Did daddy bully you?"
Li Daju immediately took the crying little guy in with a distressed look on her face, but the little guy cried even harder.
"Mom, he's hungry. I'll boil some water to make him some milk."
Zhao Yi smiled and walked into the kitchen, preparing to make milk for the little one.
The crying little guy seemed to recognize his grandmother and stopped crying immediately.
"Why are you carrying Dabao back? Didn't you say I would come over to see you?"
Li Daju was holding Dabao next to Zhao Yi.
"I slaughtered a pig yesterday and went straight back from the commune. I came here today to give you some meat."
Zhao Yi smiled.
"My family will be sending some to the slaughterhouse soon. I'd like to send some to you guys then."
Li Daju smiled and said that it was enough to know that Zhao Yi had such filial piety.
"Xiao Jing was also nagging me to come and send it off at home, saying that it's yours and ours should be sent off as a token of our love. Didn't she ask me to rush over early in the morning? She was sending it off to her master in the city, and now that she's pregnant, she doesn't want him to drive the car."
As he spoke, Zhao Yi had already prepared the milk powder and was waiting for it to cool down before giving it to the little one.
The little guy can eat some porridge now, but very little, and only with a little salt.
"Then you still want to go to Zhangjia Village?"
Li Daju asked.
"After delivering the meat, go back to the city."
Zhao Yi smiled.
"Don't carry Dabao on your back when it's so cold. Leave him here and I'll take care of him for you. I can also make milk for him."
Li Daju tried the bottle and found that the temperature was about right, so she used the bottle to feed the little guy. The little guy could already hold the bottle with both hands.
"OK."
Zhao Yi nodded, then took out the wine and pork prepared for his parents from the backpack, and rushed to Zhangjia Village carrying the basket.
When Zhao Yi rushed back, the little guy Zhao Peng was surrounded by a group of aunts in the village, who were watching him like a panda in a zoo.
"This big fat boy is strong and white and tender, just like the one in the New Year pictures."
"Those who drink milk powder are different."
"My eldest grandson eats everything. He eats breast milk, formula milk, and even porridge."
Li Daju boasted.
A little kid of two or three years old was quietly holding the bottle and drinking the leftover milk from Zhao Peng. Zhao Yi saw it and shook his head helplessly.
His mother immediately saw him and snatched the bottle away, trying to put it on the table. Seeing that there was still a little milk powder left, she was very curious and couldn't help but drink the last bit. Just then, she met Zhao Yi's eyes.
Suddenly the woman smiled a little embarrassedly.
Zhao Yi also smiled slightly, and then the embarrassed woman took her little one and walked out of the Zhao family courtyard.
Zhao Yi didn't care how his mother showed off. He went to the kitchen to boil water, scald the bottle, and put the little guy's milk powder into the backpack.
"Mom, I'll take Dabao back first. I'll come to see you guys when I'm free. You can also come to the city often when you're free. I'll pay for your travel expenses."
After packing up, Zhao Yi squeezed into the crowd, took the little guy in his hand and held him against his chest, then rushed to the commune.
Li Daju followed behind the two of them, whispering along the way to ask them to keep an eye on her eldest grandson and not let the child catch a cold.
Village entrance.
"Juan'er, I just saw you drinking Zhao's Dabao milk powder. What does it taste like?"
The sharp-eyed lady saw a little kid of two or three years old drinking from the bottle. There was still a lot of milk powder left in the bottle. Finally, a woman named Juan found it and snatched the bottle and was about to put it back, but she couldn't help but drank up the last bit of milk powder.
"Yes, what does Juan'er milk powder taste like?"
Everyone also became curious.
The woman named Juan'er felt her face flushed at this moment, as she was caught by Zhao Yi. Although Zhao Yi didn't say anything, she felt a little embarrassed in her heart. Why couldn't she control her mouth and drink the food rations of someone else's child?
"It's sweet. I can't tell what the taste is. It tastes good anyway."
Since I've been discovered anyway, I might as well admit it generously.
"I saw Zhao Yi noticed it at the time, but he didn't seem to care much."
"Why would anyone care about a little food? I'm a worker now, you know. This time I came back and gave Li Daju ten kilograms of pork. How much lard does ten kilograms of pork require to make?
How come this kid didn't realize that he could achieve this? ”
Everyone in the village started talking about Zhao Yi instead of milk powder.
Just arrived at the commune.
"By the way, Boss, have you sent it to your aunt's house?"
Li Daju asked as if she remembered something.
"I gave them one kilogram each. They wouldn't take more than that."
Zhao Yi nodded.
When Zhao Laowu gave wild boar meat to Zhao Yi to sell, Zhao Yi also prepared five pounds to give as a gift, but the two aunts said they didn't want anything and cut some of the rest for Zhao Yi to take home and eat.
Zhao Yi, who refused to listen to the advice, was hit several times by his second aunt with a rolling pin.
"That's fine."
After watching Zhao Yi get on the tractor and leave, Li Daju hurried back to the village.
After returning to the village, I saw everyone was still chatting, and I immediately joined in happily.
Then a woman whispered in Li Daju's ear and told her about the woman named Juan who secretly drank milk powder.
Li Daju knew that this was an attempt to provoke her into a quarrel. When Zhao Yi was sending her off on the road just now, he told her about this and said that the other party was just curious and not to take it to heart.
Li Daju glanced at the person who was whispering in her ear, smiled and said nothing, ignoring the conversation at all.
Not to mention this person's curiosity, Li Daju was also curious at the beginning. She also secretly tasted the milk powder that the little guy couldn't finish.
It's not much different from the malted milk that Zhao Yi gave me.
"Juan'er, come on, I'll take you to try some malted milk."
The woman named Juan felt a little bitter, as she was caught in the act by the real culprit and was about to be held accountable, but she had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow Li Daju.
Li Daju pulled the little kid who drank the milk powder secretly, and put her arm around the woman named Juan. Then she led the two of them back home and made three bowls of malted milk.
Seeing that he really made malted milk for her, she felt relaxed and took a sip of the malted milk.
"Is it the same as milk powder? When I first took care of my eldest child, I was curious about what milk powder tasted like and secretly tasted it."
The two of them immediately started talking.
Li Daju immediately started talking about what she had seen and heard in the area, and the two became happier the more they talked.
I am also a little envious of Li Daju because she can travel around the region frequently and see so many things.
"Aunt, you are amazing. You dare to go to the district alone. If it were me, I wouldn't even dare to go to the county alone."
"What's the big deal? I didn't find the way. I took the bus to the county seat and the bus to the district. There were bicycles everywhere in the district, and there were concrete buildings everywhere."
Li Daju said happily, as if she had found a confidant, even though this confidant was nearly twenty years older than her.
