The three of them were busy until after two o'clock in the afternoon.
The people who came to the town to attend the market went home one after another, and they gradually had some free time.
The three of them ate something quick and then cleaned up, then closed the door and slowly counted the money.
Just as Deng Qingling expected, sales increased as there were many people on market days.
The second day I earned about ten dollars more than the first day.
By the third day, it was much less, only about fifteen or sixteen yuan.
In the days that followed, I could only earn a little over two yuan most of the time. On market days when there were more people, I could earn three or four yuan.
After the business in the store stabilized, Deng Yangguang and Deng Mei rarely went to the store to help.
I only go to the store to help out on market days.
A few days before school started, around 1:00 p.m., Deng Qingling packed up the unsold buns and tea eggs and took them back to the village.
As soon as Deng Qingling entered the yard, she saw Guo Ninghuan and her sister under the eaves.
Guo Ningwan was sitting on a short stool with her eyes squinting and her hands supporting her cheeks. Her round little face was rosy. One could tell from her expression that she had just woken up and had not slept enough.
Guo Ninghuan, who had two braids on her head, stood behind Guo Ningwan. She lowered her head and held a wooden comb in her hand, combing Guo Ningwan's hair carefully.
As Deng Qingling approached, her figure in the sunlight was reflected on the Guo Ninghuan sisters.
Guo Ningwan opened her eyes dazedly and looked up, thinking she was dazzled.
She rubbed her eyes and saw Deng Qingling was still there. She excitedly called out "Mom."
"mom."
Guo Ninghuan looked up and saw Deng Qingling, and was extremely happy.
There was uncontrollable surprise in the sisters' voices, and if you listened carefully, you could hear a hint of disbelief in their voices.
They heard from villagers who had just returned from the market that Deng Qingling's shop was bustling with people and business was very good.
Although they missed their mother, they felt that she was too busy with her business to go home, so they planned to follow the village ox cart to the town to find her when the market came in a couple of days.
The Guo Ninghuan sisters rushed towards Deng Qingling, both of them still calling for their mother.
Guo Ningwan rushed to Deng Qingling and hugged her waist, while Guo Ninghuan stood on the side and put his hands on Guo Ningwan and Deng Qingling respectively, hugging them.
"mom."
"Mom, we miss you so much!" Guo Ninghuan and her sister said in unison.
"Mom misses you too." Deng Qingling stroked the sisters' hair and said with a smile, "Come into the house. Mom brought you some delicious food."
"good."
As soon as she finished speaking, Deng Qingling took Guo Ningwan and Guo Ninghuan's hands and walked into the house.
After entering the house, Deng Qingling let go of their hands, then put down the bamboo basket on her back and put the things in the basket on the table one by one.
"Wow, there are so many things!" Guo Ningwan said with her eyes shining when she saw the table full of things.
After she finished speaking, she swallowed.
Although Guo Ninghuan didn't say anything, one could see the joy on her face and her big, bright eyes.
Kids, of course, don’t like delicious food.
Deng Qingling first asked the two sisters to wash their hands, then picked up two tea eggs and stuffed one into Guo Ninghuan and Guo Ningwan's hands respectively.
The weather is hot now, so you can eat tea eggs without heating them, but they won’t be as fragrant.
Sister Guo Ninghuan peeled the tea eggs and ate them skillfully.
Deng Qingling looked around the room and asked, "Where are the others? Are they all away?"
Hearing this, Guo Ninghuan swallowed the egg in his mouth and replied, "Jiahua and Haojie are still sleeping in the house. My eldest and second brothers are with grandpa and grandma to weed the peanuts in the fields."
(Peanut grass refers to the grass in the peanut field, not the peanut seedlings.)
Deng Qingling: "It's so hot, Haoran and Jiazhen are going to the fields too?"
"Yes, they like to follow behind the eldest and second brothers." Guo Ninghuan said with a smile.
Ever since Deng Qingling moved to the town, Guo Ninghuan and her sister moved from the back to the front.
They said they were afraid and didn't dare to sleep in the back room together, so they moved into Guo Jianjun's old room.
Guo Haoran and Zhou Jiazhen lived in Deng Qingling's old room with Guo Haochen and others.
There were two beds in the room, and the Guo Haochen brothers each took care of one of their younger brothers to sleep.
Guo Youxing and Liang Xueying each took a little baby to sleep.
On weekdays, Guo Ninghuan is the one who takes care of the three children at home, mainly the two youngest ones. Guo Ningwan doesn't have to take care of her much. After eating, she will find something to play with.
Sometimes Guo Ningwan would also help feed the two little babies or help get their pants and diapers.
Otherwise, how could Guo Ninghuan bring them here alone?
The three of them stayed together for a while.
"elder sister."
A child's cry was heard from the house.
It turned out that little Haojie had woken up.
Hearing the sound, Guo Ninghuan hurried into the house, and Deng Qingling followed him in.
When they went in, little Haojie was trying hard to climb down with his butt raised. Guo Ninghuan was so scared that she quickly ran over, picked him up and put him on the ground.
“Pah.”
Guo Ninghuan slapped Xiao Haojie on the butt and said, "How many times have I told you to wait for your sister to hold you in bed? You can't climb down by yourself."
A few days ago, Xiao Haojie fell down when he got out of bed, and his feet and hands were scratched. When I gave him a bath, he kept saying it hurt.
Liang Xueying even scolded her a few times because of this.
Guo Ninghuan's eyes were red and he quickly said that he would take good care of his brother in the future.
Even after being beaten by his elder sister, little Haojie didn't cry because he saw that his elder sister was angry.
Little Haojie blinked at Guo Ninghuan and said coquettishly, "Sister, please don't be angry! I won't dare to do it again."
"You better remember this." Guo Ninghuan smiled and said, "Did your sister hurt you just now? Let me see..."
Before Guo Ninghuan finished speaking, Xiao Haojie shook his head and said, "Sister, it doesn't hurt. Don't look at my butt."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Deng Qingling standing behind Guo Ninghuan.
"Big Uncle." As he said that, Xiao Haojie let go of Guo Ninghuan's hand and quickly ran over to hug Deng Qingling's thighs tightly.
He looked up and smiled at Deng Qingling, saying, "Big Uncle, you're back! I missed you so much! Did you miss me?"
I don’t know if it was because Xiao Haojie’s voice was too loud, but Zhou Jiahua was woken up by him.
Guo Ninghuan, who was standing by the bed, quickly carried Zhou Jiahua down and turned to Deng Qingling and said, "Mom, hurry up and take my brother out to pee."
With that, Guo Ninghuan pulled Zhou Jiahua out.
Deng Qingling walked behind with little Haojie in her arms.
As soon as they walked out of the hall, Guo Ninghuan pulled down Zhou Jiahua's pants, and soon Zhou Jiahua urinated.
... ...
After washing the hands of the two children, Deng Qingling gave each of them half a big bun and half a tea egg.
Although they only ate half of each, they were still full when paired with the corn soup.
