Today it was the eldest wife's turn to cook, so Yang Yulan slept a little longer and didn't get up too early.
However, even though I slept a little longer, I didn't sleep for very long. I just drifted off for a moment, then got up, changed my clothes, and went out to brush my teeth and wash up.
Although Yang Yulan's movements were very gentle, Baoya woke up somehow.
Baoya raised her little hands to rub her eyes and didn't stay in bed any longer. She sat up, took clothes from the side and changed into them.
When Yang Yulan came in after washing up, she saw Baoya had already dressed and gotten out of bed. Song Jianye and Song Tianen were still sleeping soundly in bed.
Yang Yulan noticed that Baoya's clothes were a little crooked, so she walked over, squatted down, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you up so early? Did I wake you up?"
Baoya shook her head and looked at Yang Yulan with her big dark eyes, but there was some uneasiness in her eyes.
Yang Yulan couldn't quite understand her emotions and just thought she was scared because of the nightmare she had yesterday.
"It's dawn. Everything in the dream is fake. When the sun comes out, it will all be gone in a flash." Yang Yulan walked out holding Baoya's hand and whispered to her.
Baoya turned her head and looked outside, and began to hope that the sun would come out soon.
Soon, the whole family got up, and the Song family's home suddenly became lively. However, the liveliness only lasted for breakfast. After breakfast, the adults went to work, and Song Bowen and his friends also went to school.
However, today Baoya did not follow Song Tianen Yunduo to the back mountain, but instead pulled the corner of Yang Yulan's clothes and wanted to follow her to work.
"Little... Little Treasure, aren't you going with me to... look for the cicada shell?"
"yes."
Baoya pulled the corner of Yang Yulan's clothes and shook her head gently.
"Well... well then... I won't go either... I'll... I'll go to the fields too..."
Baoya didn't go, and the other three little ones didn't go to the mountain either. They all went to the fields to help the adults with work.

On the other side, Chen Fengxia came back from her parents' home today. She had never brought anything good from her parents' home in the past. Firstly, the food at home was really not enough, and secondly, her mother-in-law was not happy about it. So every time she went back to her parents' home, she couldn't hold her back straight.
But this time, with the five dollars, Chen Fengxia generously pocketed a dozen eggs, bought some egg cakes, and grabbed two handfuls of candy to go to her mother's house. She finally raised her head and felt much more comfortable staying at her mother's house for the past two days.
.
That's right, after she came back, she looked at the empty chicken coop in the chicken coop and frowned.
No eggs laid again.
In the past, Baoya fed the chickens. At that time, these chickens laid eggs very diligently every day, sometimes laying two eggs a day. Excluding the eggs she gave to her son Zhuzi every day, she could save twenty or thirty eggs in half a month.
However, for some reason, the chicken has not been very diligent lately. It only lays one egg a day, or even one egg every two days. This is much less than before.
Chen Fengxia frowned, looking unhappy, mentally cursing Baoya for feeding her chickens. She closed the door, planning to go find Old Yang at the village entrance to get some medicine for the chickens if the situation persisted in a few days.
She turned and walked towards the kitchen, and heard someone calling her at the door: "Fengxia."
When she turned around and saw who was coming, her heart skipped a beat - it was Xu Laiying.
Yesterday, Zhang Hongli came over but didn't see her. She went back with a worried look on her face. She'd spent so much money on her daughter, and she'd just gotten lost when she got home. She'd lost her money and her daughter, and she'd been having trouble eating or sleeping lately, preoccupied with this.
Although her daughter didn't say anything, Xu Laiying still couldn't sleep because she felt so heartbroken when she thought about the five dollars.
Five dollars, that’s five dollars.
If she could really buy a daughter with the five dollars and her daughter was happy, then she wouldn't have said anything. But the girl she bought was lost. She didn't even remember her face, and she was gone. How could she not feel sad?
So, after thinking it over, Xu Laiying couldn't help it and ran out to Chen Fengxia's husband's house, thinking of telling him about the situation and seeing if she could get half of the money back.
Just assume that this girl is no longer wanted. If you find her later, you can see what to do with the money and this person.
Xu Laiying is old, and her waist and legs are not in good condition due to working hard in the fields over the years. It took her an hour and a half to get there, walking and resting for less than an hour.
She came at noon, and when she arrived, she had just finished her meal and had not yet gone out to work. She saw Chen Fengxia at the gate.
"Hey, aunt, why are you here? Come in and sit down." Chen Fengxia thought that she must have come for something, but she couldn't ask directly. After calming down, she hurriedly welcomed Xu Laiying into the house.
Xu Laiying was really exhausted after walking all the way. She sat on a stool and rested for a long time before she felt a little better.
"Your cousin came over yesterday but didn't see you. She said she went back to her mother's house. How is she? Is your mother in good health now?"
Xu Laiying was too embarrassed to speak directly
, and exchanged a few pleasantries first.
Chen Fengxia responded, but she became more and more alert in her heart.
After chatting for a while, Xu Laiying finally got to the point.
"I came here this time to tell you something, it's about your daughter Baoya, alas..." Xu Laiying couldn't help but sigh before she finished speaking.
When Chen Fengxia heard the words "your daughter", she pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled and replied, "What do you mean my daughter? Aunt, you forgot, Baoya is now Sister Hongli's daughter."
Xu Laiying was stunned for a moment, then said, "Hey, don't be angry if I tell you something. Baoya, she's lost. She ran away the night we brought her back. We searched for her until midnight but couldn't find her."
"What? Lost!" Chen Fengxia widened her eyes. She never expected this to be the case.
"No, she lost it? How could she be lost? How far could she, a fool, run? How could she not find it?"
Chen Fengxia was also getting anxious, not because she was worried about Baoya, but because she was worried about the money in her pocket. She also felt a little resentful towards them. She didn't understand where such a little fool could have gone to? How could they search for her for days without finding her?
Moreover, she probably guessed why Xu Laiying came here this time. The child was lost and couldn't be found, so she came to her to ask for money, right?
"Yes, who said it wasn't? But our family of five went out to look for him, and we searched the entire production brigade, but we still couldn't find him." Xu Laiying slapped her thigh and was very upset.
Chen Fengxia thought it was impossible and suspected that Xu Laiying and the others hadn't looked seriously enough. Otherwise, how could such a fool run all over the place and not find it?
But she didn't say this out loud. After all, she had received the money and given it to her daughter. Whether it was lost or something else, it was none of her business.
Xu Laiying waited for a while but didn't hear Chen Fengxia speak again, so she had to say, "Fengxia, I came here to discuss something with you. You see, the child is missing. We've looked for him and asked him, but no one has seen him. There's nothing we can do about this."
"So, can you refund half of that five dollars?"
