Chapter 30 Stewed Egg Custard



Feng Guizhi's eyelids jumped when she heard this.

Song Jianshe continued, "If Baoya hadn't stopped me that day, I would have just packed up my things and left as usual after arriving in the city. If I'd run into the police waiting, there's no telling if I'd be among those arrested."

Feng Guizhi's eyelids twitched again. "You mean, the day the police arrested you was the day you wanted to leave but didn't?"

"Yes, it was that day. What a coincidence." Song Jianshe couldn't help but sigh.

As he spoke, Song Jianshe remembered something: "Oh, Mom, do you remember Heizi, the one I told you about before? I often went with him to collect things and sell them together. Alas, he was among those arrested this time."

Thinking about it now, Song Jianshe still feels a little scared, and for some reason, he always has a feeling in his heart that if he really left that day, he would be among those arrested.

However, he just thought that it was a coincidence that day. Baoya just woke up and for some reason she held him tightly, and he didn't think about it any further.

Although, that day was indeed a coincidence.

But Feng Guizhi was different. After hearing what Chen Xiuxiu had said, she had a vague idea in her mind. Now, after hearing what Song Jianshe said, the matter was still so mysterious, and her heart was even more convinced.

Feng Guizhi didn't say anything to him, even though she had a lot of thoughts in her head. She just said, "Although you got away with it this time thanks to Baoya, you may not be so lucky in the future. Anyway, you should think about it yourself. You should know the answer."

Feng Guizhi didn't say anything more. Song Jianshe was now the father of two children, so he knew everything and there was no need for her to say anything more.

Song Jianshe responded, said a few more words and then went out.

.......

In the west room, Yang Yulan finished bathing Baoya and was about to go out to pour water when Song Jianye called her: "Yulan, come here first, don't be busy."

When Yang Yulan saw Song Jianye smiling, she couldn't help but smile too:

"What's wrong? You look so happy."

"My third brother came over just now and said that he sold the reed mats he had made earlier for a total of six dollars and eighty cents."

Song Jianye's voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement and joy: "Yulan, I am so happy. I thought that if I could make some more to sell,

Well, I should have enough money to pay for school.”

As he spoke, he handed the one dollar that Song Jianshe had just sent back to Yang Yulan: "This is the money mother gave us. Let us keep it. You keep it."

"So much?" Yang Yulan was also surprised when she saw the money. To be honest, she had only seen money a few times in all the years she had been married, let alone a dollar.

Since it was given by Feng Guizhi, Yang Yulan didn't think about it anymore and turned around to put the money away.

"In the future, I will earn more, and you can save more money." Song Jianye couldn't help but say happily.

Seeing him like this, Yang Yulan also became happy. Since he broke his leg, he had not lost his temper or shown any sadness, but Yang Yulan could still sense the change in him. He had become depressed, especially his eyes, which were dull.

But he is different now. He looks more lively and there is light in his eyes again.

Song Jianye's transformation made her happier than making money.

That night, everyone had a good dream.

......

When Feng Guizhi got up in the morning to make breakfast, after she made the egg custard for Tiantian, she remembered what Song Jianshe said last night, and took another egg to stew a small bowl of egg custard.

No matter what, Baoya saved Lao Si once, so he deserves a bowl of egg custard.

So, during breakfast, Baoya had an extra bowl of egg custard. The eggs were cooked perfectly, making them incredibly tender. The color was also beautiful, making it incredibly appetizing.

Baoya blinked and looked at the bowl, then looked at Feng Guizhi, a little confused.

"Eat." Feng Guizhi didn't say much. Seeing her expression relax, she said this and went back to eat.

The other little ones at the table glanced at it and then left it alone, not wondering why Baoya had it but they didn't. Instead, they thought that since Baoya was their youngest sister, it was only right that she had an extra bowl of egg custard.

Baoya licked her lips, then reached out and pushed the egg custard to the middle. Although she didn't say anything, the children at the table understood what she meant.

"Sister Xiaobao, I don't want to eat it. I want to eat wild vegetable cakes." Yuanbao retracted his gaze, took a bite of the wild vegetable cake and said.

"Yeah, I don't eat it either. I'm a grown up. Only kids eat this."

"I'm already very tall, I don't need to eat this. You're still small, you should eat it, it will make you taller."

"I...I don't want to eat either, little...little sister, you...quickly...

Eat it.”

Baoya saw that no one was eating and blinked her eyes. It turned out that they wanted to eat because she was small?

Song Bowen put the bowl back in front of Baoya and said, "Eat quickly. Eat more to grow taller. The brothers have all eaten this."

Baoya tilted her head and blinked, realizing that she had to eat in order to grow taller, like her brothers. Baoya's eyes widened as she smiled, then she lowered her head and began to eat in small mouthfuls with a small spoon.

The fragrant and tender eggs are soft and smooth in the mouth. Delicious! Baoya is very satisfied with the meal.

After breakfast, Baoya followed her brothers to look for cicada shells all over the mountain. Today she was particularly lucky and found the most.

"Wow, little sister Xiaobao is so amazing."

"Yes, Sister Xiaobao found much more than I did."

"Little sister...sister is so...great!"

Several little ones surrounded Baoya and praised her. Baoya tilted her little face up and smiled with her big teeth showing.

However, not far away, the three Ma brothers were hiding behind the weeds and watching this place.

"Brother, what are they looking for?" Ma Laicai asked in a low voice with a frown.

Ma Yuzhu didn't know either, but he remembered that he seemed to have seen Song Tianen looking for something last time. It seemed that he was holding a cicada shell. But why were they looking for cicada shells?

If you want to find something for fun, you should look for cicadas. What's the use of those cicada shells? They will break if you pinch them.

Ma Yuzhu couldn't figure it out, but after thinking about it, he said, "I've come up with a good idea."

.......

When I went home for lunch at noon, Feng Guizhi brought back a message: "After dinner, take a few of you to the team leader's house with small baskets. His cherries are ready to eat. The team leader said that everyone can pick as many as they want, just be careful not to damage the trees."

"Oh~!" The little ones were so happy.

Baoya was watching them and was so happy that she almost jumped up, but she didn't quite understand what Feng Guizhi meant just now, and didn't know what the cherry was.

Seeing that she didn't understand, Feng Guizhi quietly explained to her, "It's a delicious fruit, sweet. Go with your brothers later and try it."

Baoya nodded her little head and became happy too.

Song Yuangang's family had a cherry tree planted beside the yard. When the cherries were edible, they picked a lot of them to eat. However, there were only a few cherries and they still had pits inside. Although it was a fruit,

The seeds can be eaten as snacks, but adults don’t like them very much.

So, seeing that there were so many ripe cherries on the tree, which would go bad if they were not eaten, I simply asked the team members to come and pick them.

After the children finished their meal quickly, they carried their small baskets and headed towards Song Yuangang's house.

Yuanbao, Song Boyu and the others were so anxious that they thought the walk was too slow and just jogged over there, fearing that if they arrived too late, all the flowers would have been picked.

Tian'en and Song Bowen were walking behind with Baoya. On the way, Song Tian'en asked Baoya, "Little Sister Bao, have you...have you ever eaten cherry...cherries?"

Baoya shook her head.

"Then... I'll pick up more later so you can eat more... a lot more."

Baoya nodded her head heavily, feeling a sweet feeling in her heart. She thought about it and wondered if cherries tasted like this.

Soon Baoya and the other two arrived, and there were already quite a few people in Song Yuangang's yard. They were all children, each carrying a basket, and were busy picking cherries under the tree.

At this moment, Song Boyu was on the tree, reaching for the cherries and throwing them down, while Yuanbao, Song Wenjie and others caught them back and forth.

When Song Tianen saw this, he quickly joined in and everyone was busy.

"Here, bro, there are a lot of them."

"Brother, throw it over here, I'm here."

"There are so many, and the cherries are so big."

“So sweet~”

Song Yuangang and his friends were sitting at the door of the main hall looking at this side, feeling that their house was particularly lively today.

Baoya looked at the many small fruits on the tree and the many on the ground. She squatted down, picked up one and held it in her hand. The cherry was only a little bit big, but bright red and looked particularly tempting.

Baoya hurriedly followed suit and picked up the cherries. When her hands were full, she stood up and put all the cherries in her hands into the small basket, and then came back to pick up more.

Even when walking, she didn't dare put her little feet anywhere, for fear of stepping on the cherries. She walked very carefully, her little face was tense, and she walked very seriously.

At this time, a bunch of cherries fell from the tree and hit her on the head. Baoya rubbed her little head and quickly bent down to pick up the big cherries that fell at her feet.

This cherry is bigger than the ones she picked just now. Baoya held it carefully in her hand and was extremely happy.

"So many cherries, so many cherries~" The other children in the team were surprised and excited when they saw that they had picked so many and there were still many left.

"you

Hurry up, what will we do if it's gone soon?" Ma Yuzhu's voice urged from outside, and then he came in.

Later, Ma Laicai and Ma Yushan also arrived. The three of them took three baskets and looked like they were going to pick up all the cherries from the tree.

The other children in the team were a little scared when they saw the three of them coming. They kept silent and continued picking cherries with their heads down.

Ma Yuzhu looked up and saw that all the Song family members were there, especially Song Boyu who had climbed up the tree to pick fruits. When he looked into their baskets, he saw that they were almost half full.

He suddenly felt unhappy and turned around to glare at Ma Laicai and Ma Yushan: "Go pick them up quickly, I'll go up the tree and pick them."

After saying that, he ran to the tree and climbed up.

Ma Laicai and Ma Yushan also started picking them up quickly. They didn't want the green ones or the small ones, they only picked the big red ones.

Even if others see it first, they will grab it away first.

As soon as Song Yuanbao saw the three of them, he frowned unhappily, remembering the last time he was beaten. But picking cherries was more important now, so he put them aside.

Song Bowen and Song Tianen did the same, just pretending they didn't exist and picking up what was theirs.

However, as they were picking the cherries, they saw that they were about to get them but were snatched away by Malaycai who suddenly came over.

After one or two times, Yuanbao stood up, frowned, and asked angrily, "Why did you steal my cherries?"

Ma Laicai curled his lips and said, "When did I steal your cherries? Can't I pick up these cherries on the ground?"

"It was obviously me who saw it first. I picked it up, but you snatched it from me. Did you do it on purpose?" Yuanbao said angrily with his eyes wide open.

"I didn't, don't accuse me. The cherries are on the ground, how can they be yours? Of course, whoever picks them up first gets them." Ma Laicai looked at Yuanbao, who was only as tall as his shoulder, and didn't take him seriously at all.

But after all, his brothers were there, so he didn't dare to say anything too extreme.

"You..." Yuanbao put the basket on the ground and wanted to rush up to fight him.

Song Bowen and the others quickly stopped him: "Yuanbao, there are still a lot of cherries here, don't let them get trampled. Let's pick them up quickly so they can't steal them."

Yuanbao thought it made sense. Since there were so many of them, they would definitely pick up more. If he hurried, he could pick up even more. Thinking there was no time to waste, he quickly picked up the basket and started picking up the trash.

On the tree

Song Boyu was originally responsible for getting the cherries down so that everyone could pick them up. Seeing that Ma Laicai was deliberately bullying Yuanbao and snatching Baoya's cherries, he stopped working hard and after picking a large bunch of cherries, he called Yuanbao:

"Yuanbao, pick it up."

"Okay!" Seeing that the ingots were ready, Song Boyu let go and threw them into the basket, and they all went into the basket.

"Wow, there are so many of them now, and they are all so big and red." Yuanbao immediately became happy.

Ma Yuzhu watched and followed suit, picking up and throwing the balls while Ma Yushan caught them below. But their coordination wasn't good at all, and many of the balls ended up on the ground.

"How did you answer it!" Ma Yuzhu shouted angrily.

Ma Yushan shrank his neck and dared not speak.

Baoya was not far away at this moment. She stared at the cherries scattered on the ground for two seconds, then squatted down and picked them up.

When Ma Yushan saw this, he immediately became unhappy and walked up to Baoya and pushed her.

Baoya fell to the ground and the cherries in her hand fell out. She looked at Ma Yushan with her eyes wide open, a little confused.

"Little...Little Bao sister!" Song Tianen on the other side was the first to notice the situation here and hurried over.

When the others heard the sound, they all ran over. Song Bowen pulled Baoya up and frowned: "Little Bao sister, are you okay?"

Baoya patted the dust off her little hands and shook her head obediently.

"Why did you push my sister?" Yuanbao got angry again and wanted to fight with Ma Yushan.

Ma Yushan looked at the Song family and saw so many people, his momentum suddenly weakened: "Who told her to? She stole my cherries."

"How can I take yours? The cherries are on the ground. Whoever picks them up owns them." Song Bowen replied to him with what Ma Laicai had just said.

Ma Yushan didn't dare to say anything.

Baoya saw that they were getting a little angry, so she pulled their sleeves and shook her head.

Song Bowen looked at Baoya's well-behaved appearance, and his anger subsided a lot: "Forget it, let's not argue with him. Let's pick cherries quickly and pick more for little sister Xiaobao to eat."

"good!"

After all, the Song family has many members, while the Ma family only has three of them, so in the end the Song family picked a full basket of cherries, while the three brothers of the Ma family only had half a basket.

"It's just a little bit, not as much as we have." When leaving, Song Yuanbao stuck out his tongue at Ma Yuzhu and the others, deliberately showing off, which made them very angry.

Song Tianen thought about

Just now, Ma Laicai grabbed Baoya's cherries, and Ma Yushan pushed Baoya away, saying, "That's right, there's not... not as many as us."

"Hey, there are so many cherries. Let's go home and eat some cherries~"

"Big, sweet cherries."

The people from the Song family showed off deliberately, thanked Song Yuangang, and then went home happily.

Ma Yuzhu and the others were so angry that their lungs ached and they went back home angrily.

After returning home, the children found a dustpan, put a clean steaming cloth from the kitchen on it, and poured out the basket of cherries.

"Let's pick out the rotten or bad ones first, and put the red ones in the basket." Song Bowen said.

After saying that, a group of kids gathered in a circle and started picking things up.

However, Yuanbao took a few, got up, went to the well, washed them with clean water, and put one in his mouth.

The cherries are very ripe at this time and taste especially sweet.

After tasting it, Yuanbao's eyes lit up, and he ran back, then stuffed one into everyone's mouth. However, the one for Baoya was the biggest and the reddest.

“So sweet~”

"Mmm, delicious."

Everyone was eating the sweet cherries and feeling very satisfied when they saw so many of them in front of them.

It was Baoya's first time eating cherries. When she took a bite, the juice inside burst out, and it was very sweet. But it would be better if there were no pits~

Baoya held the cherries in her mouth for a long time before reluctantly spitting them out. Then, looking at the basket full of bright red cherries, she couldn't help but smile.

Then, Baoya suddenly remembered something. She reached out and took two very red cherries from the basket. She looked at Song Bowen and then looked in the direction of the house.

Song Bowen immediately understood what she meant. He reached out and grabbed a few more from the basket and gave them to Baoya: "Wash them with water first."

Baoya took it with both hands, then stood up and walked carefully to the well.

"Little Bao sister...sister, I...I will help you wash." Song Tianen hurriedly followed.

After washing the cherries, Baoyahe and Song Tianen returned to the west room. Inside, Song Jianye was sitting by the bed, weaving a reed mat.

"Dad, eat...eat cherries."

Song Jianye looked up and saw Baoya coming towards him with her hands full of red cherries. He couldn't help but smile:

"You guys eat it, Dad doesn't like this."

Baoya blinked, a little confused.

How could Song Jianye not like to eat such delicious food? But she still wanted to give him such delicious cherries, so she walked to the side and held them in front of him with her little hands.

"Dad, try it...it's...delicious."

Song Tianen pinched one and brought it to his mouth. Seeing that they were so willing to eat it, Song Jianye couldn't refuse and ate it. The cherry was very sweet, but it couldn't compare to the sweetness in his heart.

He wiped his hands with a towel, then pinched two from Baoya's hand and put one in each of their mouths.

"Eat whatever tastes good."

Song Tianen and Baoya both laughed.

Yuanbao also washed a few and sent them back to the east room. He originally wanted to let Tiantian eat them, but Li Qingyan told her that Tiantian couldn't eat them yet.

"Ah? It can't be eaten?" Yuanbao felt it was a pity that such a sweet cherry sister couldn't be eaten.

"Well, I can let my sister have a taste too." Li Qingyan thought for a while, broke the cherry open, took out the core, pinched off a small half and fed it to Tiantian.

Tiantian moved her sweet little mouth a few times and then ate it. She licked her mouth with her little tongue and then opened her mouth to continue eating.

"Tiantian likes to eat it too." Yuanbao said excitedly.

"Yes, she will definitely like the sweet things my brother gave her." Li Qingyan also said with a smile.

In the evening, the adults came back from work and tasted the cherries. They were indeed sweet.

They picked a lot of cherries this time, and Feng Guizhi didn't restrict them for fear that they would go bad if left for too long. These past two days, the little ones went out with their pockets full of cherries. Yang Yulan also sewed a small cloth bag for Baoya with scraps of cloth for her to carry on her back. Baoya's bag was full, and she could take cherries out of her pocket whenever she wanted to eat.

She eats slowly and can finish one cloth bag in a whole day.

......

Several days passed in a flash. One day, Baoya and a few older children went back up the mountain to continue their search for cicada shells. But as the sky grew darker, they still hadn't left. Each of them looked anxious and fearful.

Because Song Tianen is missing!
