Chapter 11 I’m a smart baby…
Normally, I get up at this time at Lao Tang's house and do household chores. It is common for me to be criticized and scolded.
It's different now. They are busy with their own family, have food and drink, and no one beats or scolds them. They are happy to do anything.
Now that there is no shortage of food at home, Dabao does not need to go into the mountains to hunt before dawn.
He can be a half-main laborer at home and is responsible for all the rough and heavy work.
The brothers have clear division of labor and improve the small courtyard.
Cai was making breakfast. She made a big pot of rice porridge with coarse grain flour. It was cooked deliciously and she would eat it when little Yuanbao woke up.
Cai went into the room to check on Xiao Yuanbao several times, and the little girl was sleeping soundly every time.
I couldn't bear to wake her up, so I let her sleep a little longer.
When he was at Lao Tang's house, little Yuanbao didn't sleep well. He would wake up at the slightest noise and often had nightmares and cried in the middle of the night.
Now that he has moved out, he can sleep so soundly, which makes Cai very relieved.
This shows that it was the right thing for Niang and her friends to move out of Lao Tang’s house.
"Dabao, Erbao, Sanbao, where is your mother..."
An old woman wearing a headscarf came to the gate of the yard.
He was holding a bamboo basket in his hand.
Hearing the noise, Mrs. Cai came out to greet Granny Li.
"Grandma Li, you are here."
Granny Li took out two pounds of coarse grain flour and an egg from the bamboo basket...
"I've had a headache these past two days and have been lying on the kang. I don't know how your mother and the others were driven out. The unscrupulous old Tang family definitely didn't give you any food. I don't have any extra food either, so I can only give your mother some emergency help. I heard that little Yuanbao was even frightened and fainted. Give her the eggs to help her recover..."
Cai was so moved that her eyes turned red.
Granny Li was a good person who lived next door to Lao Tang's family. Sometimes she would give food to them and their children.
But Granny Li’s family was also very poor, with many troubles at home, and they often didn’t have enough to eat.
It is already quite difficult to provide so much food to support them.
As they were talking, a little kid appeared behind them.
"Thank you, Grandma Li." If it wasn't Xiao Yuanbao, who else could it be?
The boy walked so quietly that neither of them noticed.
She woke up when she heard the outsider's voice.
The little kid is still quite alert.
I had a dream last night. I dreamed of eating something delicious. After getting up today, Xiao Yuanbao felt full of energy.
The arms and legs are full of strength.
Even her little face seemed to have become rounder.
Granny Li turned around, surprised, "Sure enough, he can speak now. People say that you can speak now, but I didn't believe it. Now it's finally revealed. I said that our little Yuanbao is not stupid, and he will be able to speak sooner or later..."
Little Yuanbao raised his chin proudly.
"Of course not! I'm a smart baby..."
This Granny Li feels good and Xiao Yuanbao likes her.
As he was speaking, someone else came in from outside.
It was quite noisy this time. In the front was Old Man Wang and his family driving a ox cart, followed by fellow villagers who had come to watch the excitement.
"Xiao Yuanbao, Cai, Uncle Wang is here to deliver food to your family! A whole cart full of food!"
When little Yuanbao heard the word "food", he couldn't hold it anymore and jumped up and ran outside.
"Oh, there's food!"
Cai just thought it was so funny that she couldn't stop laughing.
This little guy is too unrestrained.
Granny Li didn't understand what was going on, so Cai explained to her while walking outside.
Go chase the little ingot.
A large ox cart stopped in the yard of Xiao Yuanbao's home, and Uncle Wang and his family got off the ox cart.
Aunt Wang greeted Xiao Yuanbao with a smile.
"Little Master, OK!"
The little girl said in a very generous and cute way, "Uncle, auntie, brother Tengu, hello to you too!"
Everyone laughed.
Many villagers who came to watch the excitement were surprised to hear that little Yuanbao could speak, and speak so fluently.
Everyone is curious.
Old Man Wang asked, "Master, do you think our dog is doing better today?"
Others did not believe in Naituanzi's ability, saying that Naituanzi was just lucky and saved their son by accident. But they could not think like that, because this was their son's savior.
Little Yuanbao glanced at Wang Tiangou with his big watery eyes.
"Brother Tengu looks good today!"
Everyone immediately looked at Wang Tiangou, and a blush appeared on this boy's handsome face.
Soon he regained his composure.
Mr. Wang and his family unloaded four or five large bags of food from the car.
There were various coarse grains, a bag of refined flour, and half a bag of large white rice, which together weighed several hundred kilograms. The villagers' attention turned back to food.
Everyone is jealous.
"This amount of food is enough for Cai and her children to eat for a year."
"Yes, I can eat dry food every day."
"I thought they would starve to death if they moved out of Lao Tang's house, but I didn't expect that they could survive with just a little baby."
"I used to think that little Dumb was going to die young, but now that he has gained spiritual power, he is so blessed!"
"you do not say!"
Very jealous.
Granny Li looked around the yard and realized that it was unsafe anywhere. If the mother and her children got so much food and kept it at home, they might be robbed at night.
She had to send Lao Hei out to help her and her son look after the food.
Little Yuanbao was so happy when he saw so much food.
She said sweetly, "Thank you, uncle, aunt, and little brother Tengu..."
Cai and her family were also surprised. They only asked for some food, but they didn't expect there would be so much.
"Take half back. That's too much."
"No need. Our Tengu's life is worth so much food. If anything happens in the future, I hope that the little master will take good care of our Tengu!" Uncle Wang's family gave it sincerely.
This was actually not a lot of money, only a few taels of silver. It was about the same amount that he spent on buying a daughter-in-law for Tengu to be buried with him.
I just used the money to buy food.
As he was speaking, a snotty-nosed kid came running in.
"Little Yuanbao, Grandpa has asked us to take you home."
The person who spoke was Tang Dalong, the grandson of the old Tang family.
Behind them were the two daughters-in-law of Lao Tang's family, carrying backpacks on their backs and holding baskets in their hands.
All smiles.
As soon as he entered the yard, his eyes lingered greedily on the pile of grain.
When Xiao Yuanbao saw them, he couldn't help but wrinkle his nose.
She would be unhappy if she saw this family!
Cai and Dabao are already nervous.
As if facing a powerful enemy.
Everyone gathered around to watch the excitement.
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Tang family smiled and said, "Cai, my mother said a few words to you, and you got angry and took the children away from our Tang family to live alone. If you don't know, you will think that our Tang family treats you badly! Forget it, we are a family, and we won't bother with these things. My mother has a bad temper, but she is a kind person with a sharp tongue. I will apologize to you on her behalf. Go home!"
