"Second sister, is this pen valuable?" asked Qiao Dongzhi.
Before Qiao Xiazhi could answer, Qiao Moli said, "I heard from my classmates that this kind of pen can only be bought in big cities like Shanghai, and it costs five yuan each."
After saying this, Qiao Xiazhi said, "As long as you study hard, this gift is worth it."
Hearing this, Qiao Dongzhi was so moved that he almost cried.
"Wow... Second sister, she has to be my dear second sister. Second sister is the best."
As he said this, Qiao Dongzhi was about to wipe his tears and snot on Qiao Xiazhi.
Qiao Xiazhi pretended to be disgusted: "Go away, go away, don't dirty my clothes."
Qiao Dongzhi: "No, no, I just want to hug my dear second sister."
"I want one too." Qiao Xiaohua also opened her arms and rushed towards Qiao Xiazhi.
Qiao Xiazhi was frightened and said, "I'm going to take a shower." Then he slipped into the room.
Then the three sisters took out their pens in the yard, dipped them in black ink, and started writing and drawing in the yard under the dim light.
Looking at the words written by the fountain pen, Qiao Moli couldn't help but say: "Sure enough, good pens and good ink will make the words written look much better."
Qiao Xiaohua showed her handwriting to Qiao Dongzhi and Qiao Moli and asked, "Sister, Sister Dongzhi, do you think my handwriting is beautiful?"
Qiao Dongzhi and Qiao Moli looked at it, nodded, and said in unison: "It looks good."
Qiao Xiaohua looked very happy: "Then I will use this pen to write my summer homework from tomorrow on. When school starts, the teacher will definitely praise me when he sees my summer homework."
Qiao Moli smiled and said, "Definitely."
Qiao Xiaohua looked proud and said, "Let them say I'm bragging. Let's see whose sister can give me such a good pen."
During the National Day last year, Qiao Xiaohua went to Haishi. When she came back, she boasted to her classmates that she saw many soldiers in Haishi and participated in the National Day celebrations.
They all said she was bragging.
Later, her sister-in-law made her a set of bragi, but she stopped bragging to her classmates for fear that they would accuse her of bragging.
A fountain pen is not cheap nowadays, you can't say she is bragging.
Qiao Xiaohua had told her two elder sisters about this. When Qiao Moli heard what Qiao Xiaohua said, she said, "You are stupid. If they say you are bragging, then just don't say it in front of them."
"Some people are just jealous of you. If you show off your pen to others, what if someone steals it?"
"Listen to me, just use the good stuff secretly. There's no need to let others know."
Qiao Dongzhi agreed: "That's right, don't show off your wealth. If someone steals such an expensive pen, you will cry your heart out."
Hearing this, Qiao Xiaohua thought about it, nodded and said, "Sister Dongzhi is right, wealth should not be exposed, so I'd better not take out the pen to show off to them."
"I'll keep the pen at home and not bring it to school."
After hearing this, Qiao Moli rubbed Qiao Xiaohua's head, and then the three sisters put away the pens like treasures.
In fact, Qiao Dongzhi already had a pen, which was given to her by Su Fang, but she had never been bold enough to use it.
Now her sister has also given her one, so she can use it whenever she wants.
When Qiao Xiazhi came out of the shower, the drinking was almost over. When his uncle and aunt were ready to go back to rest, Qiao Xiazhi took out the nutritional supplements he had bought for them.
"Kid, why do you buy so many things for me every time we meet?" Looking at the nutritional supplements handed over by Qiao Xiazhi, Aunt Xu Li said politely.
Qiao Xiazhi: "It's rare for me to come back, so it's only right for me to buy some things. Aunt, take them quickly."
Xu Li knew Qiao Xiazhi's character, so she didn't refuse. She took it with her hand and said with a smile:
"Then I won't be polite with you. I'm free tomorrow afternoon, so I'll go get you some snails to eat. You can go to my place for dinner tonight."
Qiao Xiazhi: "Okay, then I won't be polite to my aunt either."
After seeing off his uncle and aunt's family, Qiao Dongzhi followed Moli and the others to sleep over there.
Qiao Xiazhi and the others went to bed early.
I took the train all night last night and didn't get much rest. I rushed back here in the afternoon and was exhausted.
After returning home, Qiao Xiazhi slept soundly.
The children also slept soundly after changing their sleeping environment.
Especially with the croaking of frogs and the chirping of crickets in the rice fields, the children slept especially soundly.
I slept till dawn, and when I got up in the morning and washed up, there was something to eat.
The five little ones all had the same meal this morning, which was pork rib porridge that Fang Mei cooked early in the morning.
The ribs are stewed until they are soft and the meat is eatable by the children.
The adults ate corn porridge.
The corn is this year's new corn and is especially sweet.
Qiao Xiazhi likes to add some sugar to her porridge, which makes it fragrant and sweet. She can drink two big bowls.
After breakfast, everyone in the family went to the fields to work and earn work points while the sun was not so scorching.
My grandparents listened to Qiao Xiazhi and stopped working in the fields, but they would take turns cutting grass for the pigs every morning and evening.
You can earn two work points by cutting grass for pigs. Although it’s not much, it can be regarded as a daily exercise.
When she is not working, she is at home taking care of her great-grandson.
In this way, my elder brother and his wife can go to the fields and earn work points with peace of mind.
Everyone always arranges the housework clearly.
Although grandpa and grandma are old, they are now much stronger under the treatment of Qiao Xiazhi's spiritual spring, and have no problem taking care of their great-grandson.
Now there are four more little ones in the family, five of us in total, and the yard is so lively.
However, in the morning, when the weather is cool, Aunt Xu, Grandma Jiang, and grandma at home would push a cart and take the five little ones around the brigade.
Go to wherever it's lively and cool and chat there.
They had just arrived at the Willow Bay of the brigade, and the old ladies who were enjoying the cool air there immediately called them over to chat.
The reason why Liushuwan is called Liushuwan is because there are several big willow trees there. Usually when the team holds meetings, everyone goes there to enjoy the cool air or take a walk.
So it’s called Willow Bay.
As soon as the old ladies saw the quadruplets from Qiao Xiazhi's family, they couldn't help but praise them.
"Hey, are these the quadruplets from Xia Zhi's family? Oh my, they are so fair and pretty."
"Are these two girls? They look like the summer solstice."
"These two boys look like the men in Xia Zhi's family."
"Xia Zhi is really fertile. She gave birth to four children, a son and a daughter."
"Xia Zhi has always been blessed. Although she didn't marry the educated youth she dated before, the one she is marrying now is much better than that educated youth."
After she finished speaking, the old lady realized that she had said the wrong thing, and quickly added: "What does this mean? This means that a blessed person will not enter a door where there is no blessing."
Hearing this, Grandma Jiang smiled and said, "That's right. Not everyone in our family is lucky enough to marry Xia Zhi home."
Seeing that Grandma Jiang was not angry, everyone continued to chat casually.
