Chapter 154 Uncle and Nephew
If you want duck blood, you have to kill a duck. This is not a festival, and it is considered grand enough to go to the market and buy two pieces of meat. Who can afford to slaughter an animal?
What’s more, with so many people coming, how many ducks will we have to kill!
The veins on Diao's forehead throbbed, and her eyes rolled around. Suddenly she remembered the key point and sighed regretfully, "We don't raise ducks at home."
Nowadays, everyone has some spare money, but things are so crowded that they have been busy from the first month of the year to now and have no time to spend it.
What the Shen family doesn't have, other families certainly don't have either.
Diao smiled and took Ah Jiu by the hand, coaxing him: "If you want to eat that Maoxuewang, wait until we have time to go to the city to buy some ducklings..."
Ajiu is as well-behaved as any of the children in the Shen family and is not afraid of strangers at all.
Chen Chunxing made faces at Xue Yongan from behind.
By the time the ducklings grow into big ducks, I’m afraid the sorghum in the field can be used to make wine!
Xue Yongan pursed his lips, hiding the smile in his eyes, and retreated quietly.
The country road was narrow and there were so many people passing by today that for a moment no one noticed he had left.
Only Yang Yi glanced silently behind him.
This kind of work used to be his, but since Xue Yongan came, he took over his position... He knew in his heart that it was more like handing it over than taking over.
There was a relationship between those two that others could not understand.
As they gradually approached the Shen family's house, a furry fat ball jumped down from the top of the wall and landed just beside Jiu's feet, scaring the child.
The caracal bared its teeth at the orange cat, as if blaming it for leaving without saying goodbye.
Little Orange finally decided to leave Ajiu's arms, slipped through the door, and looked for someone.
"ah!"
"ah!"
"ah!"
There were loud shouts in the yard.
Chen Yandong ran out, holding his butt, and rushed towards Chen Chunxing with tears in his eyes.
"Big sister! You're finally back!"
The little baby's face was stained with ink, his new coat was so dirty that it was unsightly, and his big eyes were filled with grievance, as if once she left, he would become a silly child with no one to take care of him.
Chen Chunxing's heart was so soft that she opened her arms slightly and took a few quick steps to meet him. It was a rare occasion that she exposed her emotions so openly.
Who wants to.
Chen Yandong ran up to him, but suddenly squatted down, turned his back and was about to take off his pants.
"Big sister, look! Did Third Brother spank my butt in two?"
“Wuwuwu…”
"Third brother, you are so naughty! I don't want a two-piece butt!"
The expression on her face was so intense that she quickly grabbed the silly boy's belt.
This is not something you should be watching so early in the morning!
Diao slapped Chen Yandong on the butt and yelled into the yard, "Can you do this! Can you do this! You have to tease him alone?"
Shen Mingqiu stood inside the door and smiled foolishly at the few people.
Chen Chunxing glared at him, "Come here, let me see how many butt cheeks you have."
The brat's face turned red, hiding the moisture in his eyes.
On the way back, Shen Zhixia followed Shen Chunxing stupidly, until she entered the door, she seemed to come alive.
She ran happily to the main room to pour tea, and after bringing it to Chen Chunxing, she hurriedly went into the house to look for snacks like peanuts and melon seeds. Halfway through, she slapped her forehead, turned around and rushed to the kitchen.
"Wait, wait..." Chen Chunxing held her head and turned it around, saying with a smile, "I'm going home, not visiting. What's all this nonsense?"
Shen Zhixia pursed her lips in grievance, made a few gestures, then buried herself in Shen Chunxing's arms, sobbing softly.
Although they never showed it on their faces, they had wondered if she would just leave and never come back...
The Shen family has always been a burden to her.
She would be better off without them.
Fortunately, this family finally stopped her from moving forward.
Diao was shouting loudly, but she was not very interested in the experiences of the few people going out. To her, as long as the eldest girl returned safely, everything was fine.
The old lady has always been quite wise.
There was no need to interrogate her. Diao picked a piece of meat from the bamboo pole, threw it into the basin to wash it, and called the third daughter to pick some wolf peaches from the field. Oh, no, the eldest girl's name was changed. She would be called Tomato from now on.
I was thinking, the eldest girl has been living in the open air, and I don’t know how much hardship she has endured. I will make up for it with today’s meal!
When we got home the first day, no one had the energy to talk about those tedious things.
Chen Chunxing moved a small stool and sat in the yard to help pick vegetables. His almond-shaped eyes narrowed into crescent shapes and he seemed to be in a good mood.
Little Lao Si was caught by Chen Zhixia to wash his face. He cried all the way. Ajiu lay by the door frame and peeked.
His eyes were full of curiosity.
With so many children, yet only this one was brought home, Diao Shi somewhat understood her granddaughter's intentions and asked, "Does he have a name?"
Ah Jiu turned his head and answered himself: "My name is Ah Jiu!"
He thought about it and added weakly, "Yang Ajiu!"
Diao had finished cutting the meat. Hearing the noise, she raised her knife and glared at Chen Chunxing, "Another crappy name you gave me?"
"..." Chen Chunxing shook the washed vegetables clean and put them in a dustpan, saying innocently, "This time it really has nothing to do with me."
It happened that Yang Yi was passing by the front yard carrying luggage at this time. Ajiu immediately lost interest in the silly child in the house. He supported his weak body and stumbled after Yang Yi.
Wherever the man goes, there he goes.
Chen Chunxing nodded over there and said, "Isn't it possible that the uncle and nephew have a good impression of each other?"
Yang Yi paused, looked down at Ajiu who had bumped into his leg, and simply bent down to pick him up and carry him on his shoulder before continuing to pack his luggage.
"Are they really uncle and nephew?" Diao was stunned by the affection between the two and lowered her voice. "Has he recovered his memory?"
Chen Chunxing blinked and chuckled, "Who knows."
It sounds like there's a problem.
Diao realized that the eldest maid was making fun of her again, so she scolded her with a smile: "Don't even think about leaving the table if you don't eat three bowls of rice today!"
“…”
Chen Chunxing shrank his neck, and she disappeared in a flash.
It’s hard to explain to the old lady how delicious roasted bird eggs, roasted fish and roasted rabbits are in the wild!
It was not until noon, when the meal was almost ready, that Xue Yongan finally arrived.
There were two ducks in his hands without any suspense.
"Oh, just spoil her! She can't eat meat, but she insists on having duck!" Diao said angrily, but accepted it with a smile.
The old lady is a very contradictory person. Sometimes she is stingy, sometimes she is generous, but as long as she is generous to others, she will do it without hesitation.
Chen Chunxing found a basin to collect the duck blood. Seeing sweat on Xue Yongan's forehead, he asked in confusion, "Where did you go to buy the duck?"
The nearby market wasn't too far away, and with his physical strength, running there and back wasn't enough to warm him up.
Speaking of this, Xue Yongan was even more depressed than her: "There were no ducks for sale in the market. I ran around in every village nearby and finally caught these two wild ducks in the reed marsh."
