She cried out in anger

, "It's all my aunt's fault." The two aunt and niece got along well during this period. Songzi was young and didn't remember much, so she almost forgot about Liang Qingqing's bad temper in the past. Now she even dared to make fun of her.

His own son had forgotten, but Liang Shuqiang had not. He first glanced at his younger sister's expression, and put Songzi down when he saw nothing unusual. "It was obviously you who didn't look at the road. You didn't even see such a big rock? And you blame your aunt. Aren't you ashamed?"

"That's right." Liang Qingqing echoed, and walked over and made a face at Songzi. After Songzi lowered his head in embarrassment, she called out to Liang Shuqiang obediently, "Brother."

Although the brothers Liang Shuqiang and Liang Junqiang are not much different in age, their personalities are very different. One is so quiet that he is a little old-fashioned, and the other is so lively that he is a little annoying. Because of this, Ma Xiuzhi often complained that Liang's father had not given the two brothers the right names, and it would be better if they could neutralize the difference.

"Give me the things, I'll hold them for you." Liang Shuqiang saw Liang Qingqing carrying a bag and quickly reached out to take it.

Liang Qingqing was very happy to have someone help her hold things. After she had nothing in her hands, she took Songzi over. The boy was shy and hid behind her at first, but when he saw that he couldn't get away, he tried to pull her back with his chubby little hands.

Songzi looked up at Liang Qingqing quietly and couldn't help muttering in her heart, "My aunt's hand is so soft, my aunt smells so good, my aunt is so beautiful..."

"Why are you here?" It seemed like he was waiting for her on purpose.

"It's getting dark, and my mother was worried so she asked me to pick you up. Songzi happened to hear it and cried and shouted to come along." Liang Shuqiang seemed to remember when Songzi was crying, and the corners of his lips slightly raised.

"I didn't cry!" Songzi's chubby face turned red after being embarrassed by his own father.

Liang Qingqing laughed out loud, and at the same time, a warm current surged from the depths of her heart. It was really good to be cared for and remembered by others all the time.

"I walked around the city for a while before coming back."

"Walking around can relax your mind and figure out some things. It's good. Big brother is very relieved."

It was obvious that Ma Xiuzhi had told the whole family about her "broken heart", otherwise how could Liang Shuqiang say such caring words.

Hearing this, Liang Qingqing laughed dryly twice and couldn't continue.

Fortunately, Liang Shuqiang was not a talkative person. She spent most of her time playing with Songzi on the way home. As soon as she reached the gate of the courtyard, she saw Ma Xiuzhi standing in front of the courtyard feeding the chickens. She would glance outside from time to time. When she saw them, her expression obviously relaxed.

"Are you back? Wait until your father comes back from the private plot and we'll have dinner."

After saying that, she turned around and asked, "Qingqing, where did you go to play in the city?"

"I just wandered around and didn't play anything." Liang Qingqing asked Liang Shuqiang to take her bag into the house, and then stood next to Ma Xiuzhi to watch her feed the chickens.

The rotten vegetable leaves mixed with some rotten sweet potatoes were poured into the big bamboo strips, and the two big hens rushed to eat.

These two big hens are the big babies of the family. No one can be hungry.

Now everything is about the collective. Each household can only raise two chickens at most. No more than that. And raising chickens is not for slaughtering and eating meat, but for the eggs they lay.

Eggs are good things. If you have enough, you can go to the supply and marketing cooperative in the county to exchange for money. This is also one of the few important sources of income for rural families.

After watching for a while, Liang Xueyong also came back from his private plot.

The family sat in the kitchen, and Ma Xiuzhi, the head of the family, was responsible for distributing rice. Today's meal was still dry rice cooked with potatoes and grains. The taste was not very good, but it was very filling.

The dishes were stir-fried winter melon with peppers, eggplant, and loofah egg soup.

It was called loofah and egg soup, but there was only one egg, which was smashed and hidden in a large pot of soup. You couldn't see it unless you looked carefully.

"Okay, hurry up and eat." The Liang family had no rules that women couldn't eat at the table. Husbands and wives sat next to each other, and Liang Qingqing, who was not married, sat next to Songzi, a child. The big square table was full. After

the meal started, for a while, the only sound in the whole kitchen was the sound of chopsticks hitting bowls and chopsticks.

Everyone worked hard in the field all day just for the whole family to get together and eat this hot meal!

Liang Qingqing had a small appetite. Even if she was very hungry today, she was the first to put down her chopsticks. After eating, she didn't rush to leave. She waited until everyone had almost finished eating before running back to the room to take out the bag of egg cakes.

"Don't leave yet, I have something for you, one for each of you." She had already calculated that there were ten egg cakes in total, and she ate two for lunch in the city, so the remaining ones were just enough for everyone at home.

The bright yellow egg cakes were stuffed into everyone's hands, and the originally lively atmosphere in the kitchen gradually became quiet. Everyone had different expressions, but Songzi and Liang Junqiang were the only ones who were extremely happy, laughing and thanking Liang Qingqing.

Seeing this, Liang Xueyong was also happy, but he still couldn't help frowning. He tilted his head to look at Ma Xiuzhi, and his eyes seemed to ask: "Didn't you say that you didn't give Qingqing money when you went to the city this time? Did you secretly give her money?"

Ma Xiuzhi didn't respond to Liang Xueyong. She was also wondering. Looking at the egg cakes in her hands, she felt happy and complicated. How much money did her daughter have in her hands? As a mother, didn't she know?

Liang Qingqing was a person who never saved money. She spent whatever she had. How could she have savings to buy so many egg cakes?

Just as he was about to ask Liang Qingqing where the money came from, he caught a glimpse of the expressions of the people around him and temporarily suppressed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

The Liang Shuqiang couple on the right smiled softly, with surprise flashing in their eyes. Of course, they were not surprised about why Liang Qingqing had so much money in her hand, but why she shared it with everyone for the first time.

Because every time Liang Qingqing went to the city, she would bring things back, but she was very protective of her food. No one else could get a penny from her except herself. It seems that what mother said was right. The little sister is slowly becoming sensible.

The two looked at each other and smiled with relief.

On the other side, Liang Junqiang and his wife, one smiled like a fool, and the other smiled uglier than crying.

After enduring for a long time, Huang Shumin still couldn't help but stretched out her hand under the table to pinch Liang Junqiang's thigh. This idiot! I really don't know what's so funny. His parents are so partial to him, and he can still laugh! It's okay if they treat each other unequally at ordinary times, but today it's too much, right?

They are all Liang family members, and the couple don't have much money in their pockets, but Liang Qingqing bought seven or eight egg cakes at once! It's really frustrating to compare with others. This life is really unbearable!

"What's wrong? Eat quickly." Liang Junqiang didn't notice the abnormality of his wife, and urged her to eat quickly, his big eyes curved into crescent shapes.

Hearing this, Huang Shumin was so angry that she almost couldn't breathe. She gave Liang Junqiang a fierce look and became angrier. She suddenly stood up and stuffed the egg cake she got into Liang Junqiang's hand.

She wanted to get angry and say all the grievances that she had been holding in her heart for so many days, but looking at the pairs of eyes looking at her, she couldn't open her mouth immediately. She hesitated for a long time and finally endured it.

"I feel a little uncomfortable. I want to go back to my room and lie down for a while."

"You're fine. Where do you feel uncomfortable? Do you want to go to the village doctor?" Liang Junqiang stood up immediately, with half a piece of unfinished egg cake in his mouth, and his words were a little unclear.

Seeing Liang Junqiang like this, Huang Shumin almost cried with anger, and said with a high voice: "No need!"

After that, she ran out angrily, and accidentally tripped over the chair at the door of the kitchen. With a loud "bang", Huang Shumin paused, bit her lower lip, quickened her pace, and disappeared from everyone's sight.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became extremely subtle, and even Songzi noticed something was wrong and hid in Wang Xiaomei's arms.

"Is the second sister-in-law okay? Second brother, do you want to go and see her?"

Liang Qingqing scratched the back of her head, and then she realized that she might have done something bad with good intentions. She originally thought that it would be better to share the things in public than to give them to everyone in private, so she chose this time after dinner, but she didn't expect to make the second sister- in-law unhappy

. The reason for her unhappiness is also easy to guess. Combined with what she accidentally heard the night before, she must have felt wronged that her parents were partial to her and gave her money alone. But this time, these egg cakes really weren't bought by the family! Thinking of this, she pretended to be casual and simply explained the origin of the egg cakes.

"That's what happened."

Hearing this, Liang Junqiang frowned angrily: "Fortunately, it's nothing, otherwise I would go to her tomorrow. What kind of people are they! Just because we are from the countryside, they look down on us?"

"Anyway, they have already compensated and apologized, so don't take it to heart." Liang Qingqing shrugged. The past is the past, why bother to make yourself upset again?

Liang Junqiang nodded and sighed twice. In fact, he didn't care how the egg cake came from. He was already very happy that his sister gave him a bite. What was more important now was to go and see what happened to his wife.

So Liang Junqiang finished the cake in a few bites, and walked out while muttering, "Your

second sister-in-law was fine just now, I don't know what happened, I'll go see her." "Wait a minute." Ma Xiuzhi called Liang Junqiang, who stopped and turned to look at her in confusion, "Mom, what's wrong?"

"I have something to say, you all listen carefully." Ma Xiuzhi's eyes swept across the faces of the people present, and finally landed on Liang Qingqing's face, raising her voice and saying in a deep voice: "During this period of time, the family's money has been spent on big and small things. I believe you have all seen it."
