Chapter 62 Being noticed
Wang Dafeng was so angry when she saw the behavior of her two sons. She thought about it over and over again, but couldn't understand who these two guys looked like?
Ding Rong and Ding De were completely unaware of this and kept counting over and over again, fearing that they would suffer a loss if they missed one.
After that, you have to take out a pen and paper and write down clearly how many you received that day and how many are left.
"Sons, can you two give a few to mom each?" Wang Dafeng deliberately tested them and tapped their calves with the dog-beating stick in her hand.
Ding Rong chuckled, "Mom, don't joke. The Third Brother's family is so well-off now. Master Lu even gave us a reward the day before yesterday."
"That's right, we haven't asked you for it yet! Oh, by the way, Mom, can you share some of the bacon from the third brother's family with our two families? It's been ages since we've had bacon, and we're craving it."
Wang Dafeng sneered: "You wish! Take the sweet potatoes and get out of here! If you dare to embarrass Old Third again, I will never let you go."
The two brothers were afraid of being hit by the stick in the old woman's hand, so they quickly ran out of the house with the sweet potatoes.
After the two of them left, Wang Dafeng took the two brothers' sweet potatoes to different rooms and covered them tightly with wooden boards. This was not to protect against Ding Gui's family, but to protect against rats.
If it gets eaten by mice, Ding Gui and his wife will have to pay for it in the end.
While the old woman was dealing with the two brothers in the kitchen, Ding Xiaodie hurried to the space.
Now every household does have sweet potatoes, but there is a problem that even Mr. Lu cannot solve, and that is the water problem.
If you want to eat your fill, food alone is not enough; water is the most important thing.
Most people would grab any puddle they saw along the way, even if it was muddy water. After grabbing it, they would put it in a basin and let it settle for a day or two. When some of the mud settled to the bottom of the basin, it would be ready to drink.
Therefore, even food cooked with oil and salt will not taste good. Clean water source is very important.
This time when Ding Xiaodie entered the space, she actually found three five-kilogram bottles of water, some change and half a bag of flour. Just when she was puzzled as to why there were so many this time.
A string of words appeared on the screen: barter, equal exchange.
Only then did she remember that the last time she entered the space, she had placed a black truffle on the shelf, but she didn't have time to take it because Ding Xue pushed her.
It turns out that one black truffle can be exchanged for so much silver and flour.
If she had known this would happen, she would have brought in a few more black truffles. What they needed most now was water and staple food. As for enjoying the black truffles, it was enough to have indulged in them for the past two days.
It's a pity that she can only come in once today.
Ding Xiaodie thought about it, put the other two buckets of water and flour into the storage room, and left the space with a bucket of water and some change.
After all, they hadn't been anywhere. Wang Dafeng counted the rewards from the Lu family over and over again. If there was suddenly half a bag of flour, she would definitely be surprised.
As for the five kilograms of water, my mother could only pour it into the pot first, then pour some into the gourd bottle, and only then did she dare pour the rest into the water tank.
After hiding the large mineral water bottle, Ding Gui grinned excitedly: "The space can be used for storage and exchange. Then we don't have to worry about it anymore. No matter where we go, as long as we have space, we won't be afraid of starving to death."
"That's true, but those neighbors are so pitiful!"
When Zhang Xiu went out earlier, she saw a mother feeding her child muddy water. Her heart was deeply hurt, but she could not help the other party in any way.
Speaking of this, Ding Gui nodded heavily.
Ding Xiaodie looked out the window. It was scorching hot without even a hint of cool breeze. Even though the sun had set, the red clouds in the sky still seemed to burn the whole world clean.
She felt bad, but there was too little water in the space to help everyone.
Moreover, if they took the water out so rashly, it would definitely arouse everyone's suspicion.
The only thing I can do now is to go out and pretend that I brought the water from home when I see someone in need, and secretly pour some of the water in the gourd bottle for them.
Just at this moment, Wang Dafeng walked in cursing, and the three of them had to pretend nothing had happened.
"Those two bastards are so narrow-minded that they are not even as big as the tip of a needle." Wang Dafeng kept scolding the Ding Rong brothers, and told Zhang Xiu how many sweet potatoes their two families had in total and how many they had just taken away.
Zhang Xiu was busy at the stove and promised her, "I understand, mother."
Wang Dafeng then looked at Ding Gui: "Third brother, come with me."
Ding Gui didn't know what the old woman was planning, so he winked at his wife and daughter, then followed the old woman upstairs.
As soon as the mother and son left, Zhang Xiu said to Xiaodie earnestly, "Next time there's a fight, don't rush to the front again. Listen to your mother. You're just a child now. Even if you rush to the front, it won't make any difference. On the contrary, if someone gets hurt, how are your father and I going to survive?"
Ding Xiaodie knew that her father must have told her what happened in the sweet potato field. She smiled and comforted him, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. I won't dare to do it again."
Only then did Zhang Xiu smile a little.
But soon her brows furrowed again, and she raised her hand to smooth her daughter's hair with a distressed look on her face. "Xiaodie, what would you be like now if the explosion hadn't happened that day? I remember that before the incident, one of your team leaders was interested in you. He was tall and handsome, and we went to the same school, so he was your senior."
"Oh, that's enough, Mom. That's all in the past. Let's not talk about it anymore!" Ding Xiaodie smiled and wiped her mother's tears. "Let's make the best of it. Since God has arranged this for the three of us, let's live our lives well. As long as the three of us live well, we can still achieve great things in any era."
In fact, she was also feeling jealous. Yes, that handsome senior brother, he hadn't confessed his feelings to her seriously yet.
And her delicious food, her beautiful clothes, her hot bath.
Oh, I don’t want to think about it anymore. The more I think about it, the more upset I get.
He simply pretended to be relaxed to encourage his mother, and at the same time, to encourage himself.
Zhang Xiu nodded. What she liked most about her daughter was her optimistic personality.
At this moment, Ding Gui, who had just followed Wang Dafeng upstairs, ran down in a hurry, with a complicated expression on his face...
"Dad, what's wrong?"
"Speak!" Zhang Xiu pushed the man anxiously when she saw him like this.
Ding Gui looked at the mother and daughter for a while, as if he wanted to laugh, but also a little bit to cry. His expression twisted for a while before he finally said, "My mother told me that the ancestor of the Lai Fu Village Chief's family once called her home to inquire about the situation when we went to the sweet potato field."
"What are you trying to find out?"
"She...she wants to match Dabao or Erbao up and get engaged to Xiaodie."
"ah?!"
