623: Our Xiao Ye is going to perform in Beijing
Zhou Ziheng reacted quickly, not giving Xu Ying time to react, and quickly stepped forward to announce the good news:
"Aunt, I have good news for you. The show Xiao Ye was rehearsing at the division headquarters has been selected and will be performed in the capital. I happen to have work to do, so I can go with her."
Hearing this, Xu Yingcai came back to his senses and smiled instantly:
"Really? Our Xiao Ye is so great that he's going to perform in Beijing?"
Hearing that her mother had no doubts, Yu Xiaoye breathed a sigh of relief and deliberately acted like a spoiled child:
"Yeah, Mom, I'm so great, are you happy?"
"Happy, happy, I'm happy no matter how you are—"
While feeling happy, Xu Ying also felt like something was wrong.
Before he could figure out what was wrong, Yu Xiaoye looked at the mushrooms drying in the yard and said:
"Mom, you must have picked a lot of mushrooms. I want to eat the chicken and mushroom stew you made."
"You want to eat chicken stewed with mushrooms? That's not easy to say. Mom will kill a big rooster for you right now!"
"Hey, mom is the best."
Zhou Ziheng walked towards the main hall carrying his things, and said as he walked:
"I'll put my stuff down and come help."
"Okay!"
Xu Ying's attention was quickly drawn to the chicken stewed with mushrooms that her daughter wanted to eat. She returned to the kitchen, put down the spatula, and went to the chicken coop to catch the chickens.
This spring, Xu Ying hatched some chicks using her own eggs. These chicks have grown to be almost as big as a palm, and each one is very lively and has a very high survival rate.
Because the chicks hatched by her family are easy to raise, the neighbors around come to their house to exchange chicks.
Following Widow Wang's chicken-raising experience, Xu Ying became a chicken-raising expert in the farm.
On this side, Xu Ying caught the few remaining big roosters raised last year, and on the other side, Zhou Ziheng put down what he was holding and came out to help.
Yu Xiaoye took time to rest as usual, staying on the kang in the main room with Cuihua, doing nothing, and feeling at ease being her hands-off boss.
She showed Cuihua everything she brought back.
This time she brought two packets of baby formula. She knew Cuihua was about to give birth, so in order to prevent the baby from having no milk in the future, she bought two packets of baby formula in advance.
There are also two cans of malted milk and two bags of brown sugar for Cuihua to nourish her body.
But look at how fat Cuihua is now. She has gained about half of her original weight. When she first came, she weighed only about 80 kilograms, but now she weighs at least 130 kilograms. It seems that she is not lacking in nutrition.
Yu Xiaoye not only bought nutritional supplements, she also bought several baby toys, including a tiger doll, an exquisitely crafted wooden car, and the most expensive one was a little duck that could move when wound up.
Because Yu Xiaoye had a baby about to be born, he would pay attention to any toy sales he saw and buy anything interesting. Over time, he had accumulated a large number of toys, and this time he brought them all back.
Cuihua smiled from ear to ear when she saw these rare toys. She touched this and that, admiring them while feeling sorry for the money she must have spent on them.
"Xiao Ye, don't waste your money in the future. What toys do children need? They are not the children of landlords. We can just play with mud and dirt. Why do we need to spend money to buy these things? Children don't know what is good for them. It's a pity to break such good things."
"Sister-in-law, buying these things doesn't cost much. The most important thing is that the children are happy. I will buy my nephews and nieces whatever they want in the future."
Cuihua's shiny face was full of smiles:
"It's great for the child to have an aunt like you."
In the main room, the aunt and sister-in-law were chatting and laughing.
Outside in the yard, Xu Ying and Zhou Ziheng had already started killing chickens.
A big rooster was quickly necked, bled, and plucked, and then the chicken started to be chopped.
After putting the chicken into the pot, Xu Ying put a circle of cornmeal pancakes on the edge of the pot.
Yu Jiahui went home before the meal was ready.
Yu Jiahui heard from outside that the director's car had arrived, and knowing that Xiao Ye would definitely come back with him, he went home early to see his daughter.
As soon as I got home, I saw that the house was bustling with activity. Although there were only two more people, it was visibly more lively than before. The delicious smell of meat wafted from the kitchen, and the white smoke from the chimney was thicker than before.
When he entered the main room and saw his daughter, he found that she had grown up and matured a lot.
He hadn't seen his daughter for several months. Last time, he came back in the middle of the night because of Yu Daye's matter. Yu Jiahui's mind was on that bastard and he didn't have time to take a closer look at Yu Xiaoye.
Looking carefully during the day, I feel that Xiaoye has grown into an adult, and looks like an adult, no longer that dried-up bean sprout.
Yu Jiahui always felt a little regretful for missing his daughter's growth period, and he felt a little dissatisfied with Zhou Ziheng, thinking that Zhou Ziheng was the pig who took away their cabbage.
When I looked at Zhou Ziheng again, his expression was different.
After meeting his daughter in the main hall, Yu Jiahui went to the kitchen and said to Zhou Ziheng, who was washing mushrooms by the stove:
"Now that Xiao Ye has returned, will she stay here? We previously transferred her to the main farm, and then to the division headquarters. She's so far away from us, and she hasn't been back for months. It's inconvenient for us to even visit. If there's no particularly important mission, can we transfer her to the fifth division farm? Work elsewhere is important, but isn't the work at the fifth division farm unimportant?"
Yu Jiahui's voice was calm, but there was already great dissatisfaction hidden in his tone.
Zhou Ziheng was washing mushrooms with a guilty conscience, thinking about explaining:
"Uncle Yu——"
Unexpectedly, Xu Ying got there first:
"Old man, good news! Our Xiao Ye is going to perform in Beijing. He's attending the National Agricultural Reclamation Conference and will be performing in the Great Hall!"
Hearing this news, Yu Jiahui had a complicated expression:
"Xiao Zhou, is it true that Xiao Ye is going to the capital?"
"Uh, yes."
"Are you going or not?"
"I'm going too—"
Zhou Ziheng answered while looking up at Yu Jia
Hui's expression showed that the old man's face became visibly gloomy, as if a heavy rainstorm was brewing in the June sky.
Yu Jiahui suddenly thought of something, put his hands on his hips and cursed:
"You bastard, even at this point, you're still trying to play tricks on me."
Zhou Ziheng was so scolded that he didn't dare to refute a word. He continued to wash the mushrooms with his hands in the clay basin.
Yu Jiahui is different from Xu Ying. Xu Ying might not think much about the fact that the two of them were going to Beijing together, but Yu Jiahui knew what was going on as soon as he heard it.
This was obviously an intentional arrangement by Zhou Ziheng.
From the very beginning, Zhou Ziheng had a plan when he transferred Yu Xiaoye to the division headquarters.
Even if Yu Jiahui was blind, he could still see this.
When Xu Ying heard Yu Jiahui's words and combined them with what she had just felt was wrong, she suddenly realized that this was all Zhou Ziheng's deliberate arrangement.
Yu Xiaoye was transferred to the division headquarters in preparation for going to the capital.
Moreover, Xu Ying seriously suspected that their daughter was an accomplice.
Wow, these two guys really do great things quietly!
We are going to the capital together quietly.
No wonder Yu Jiahui was unhappy.
