Chapter 276: Tears of Excitement
Yike accompanied Tiedan home. After something like this happened, Yike also had to go to his house to help explain.
Tiedan's mother-in-law was washing vegetables in the yard. When she saw Yike coming, she stood up and greeted him: "Ziyi's wife, you are here. Xiuying is cooking in the kitchen. I will go and call her out."
"Granny Wang, I'll go find her myself, you do your thing." Yi Ke said as he walked towards the kitchen.
"Mother-in-law, I'm back. Are my eldest and second brothers back?" Tiedan asked as soon as he entered the door.
"I'm back and I'm in the house." Tiedan's mother-in-law sat down to wash vegetables again.
"Brother, brother, have you finished selling? I've sold out mine." Tiedan shouted loudly before he even entered the house.
Wang Jindan, Wang Yindan, Wang Tongdan and the youngest Goudan all came out of the main room and ran towards Wang Tiedan.
"Brother, brother, how much food did you exchange?" Goudan couldn't outrun his brothers, so he asked from behind.
Zhang Xiuying came out of the kitchen upon hearing the noise, and seeing Yi Ke, she hurried over to greet him, "Yi Ke, please send Tie Dan back. That kid is very naughty, so leave him alone next time and let him come back on his own."
"Aunt, Tiedan was beaten while selling popsicles today." Before he could finish his words, Zhang Xiuying, who had just said that the child was naughty and there was no need to worry about him, hurriedly pulled her son over to check on him.
"Where is he hurt? Who the hell hit my son? Tiedan, where does it hurt?" The anxious look on his face was like two different people from the person who just said don't worry about it.
"Mom, I don't feel any pain. I was just slapped in the face. It doesn't hurt anymore. I even bit him and it even bleeds." Tietou didn't pay any attention to his mother's worries and was still proudly showing off his brilliant fighting results.
Yike told Zhang Xiuying what Huzi said, and Zhang Xiuying said angrily: "You are already adults, but you still snatch things from children. You are not human."
"Yes, fortunately Hu Zi's aunt lives in that village, otherwise Hu Zi and Tietou might really suffer." Yi Ke felt a little scared.
"They have relatives in the villages where they sell popsicles. Otherwise, they wouldn't dare to let the children sell them. We have taken this situation into consideration. Next time, we will let the relatives in those villages know and ask them to take care of them."
Yi Ke thought, "Old people are always wise. I was just worried but didn't know what to do. It turns out they had already thought of a solution. We have relatives in the village, so we must be safe. Situations like today are isolated cases after all."
"That's it, Auntie. I'm going back too."
"Just have dinner at my house. You see, they have exchanged a lot of food today. If we combine the food from several brothers, we can eat for half a month. So, don't worry that my house is out of food. Just stay and have a meal. I'll ask Jindan to call Ziyi over so that he can have a drink with my man." Zhang Xiuying enthusiastically tried to keep Yike.
"Next time, next time I will definitely stay to eat. Ziyi may have prepared dinner today, and it would be a waste if I don't eat it."
"Okay then, take some vegetables back. You can't refuse this." Zhang Xiuying took a handful of vegetables from the basket and gave them to Yike, who had no choice but to take them.
"Yike, take care." Zhang Xiuying saw Yike out the door.
After Yike returned, he told Ziyi about the fight between Huzi and Tiedan while selling popsicles, and also told him that Zhang Xiuying mentioned that the villages where they would go to sell popsicles were all villages where they had relatives.
"Honey, if I had known earlier I wouldn't have been worried. I've been nervous ever since they started selling popsicles." Yi Ke felt a little aggrieved that the members didn't tell her.
"You are like the eunuch who is anxious while the emperor is not. Do others know that you are worried? Besides, they dare to let the children sell, so they must have thought of these eggs. Now that you know, you won't worry anymore, otherwise you will be worried to death every day." Ziyi scratched Yike's nose.
"I want to make more popsicles and keep them. They said they would sell well today, and they were sold out very early." The resentment in Yike's heart came and went quickly.
"Tomorrow's sales may not be as good as today's. Today is the first time we're selling it and many people are trying it for the novelty. We can't afford to eat it every day as not everyone has extra food." Ziyi poured cold water over Yike.
"That's true. The countryside is still not as good as the city. After all, people in the city get paid."
"Honey, I want to discuss something with you. I want to teach the captain's wife how to make popsicles. After all, we are going into the mountains, and we can't just stop making popsicles and leave the kids with nothing to sell."
"You should teach it to Uncle Tietou's family. They rely on the work points earned by the couple to feed ten mouths. Although you can't make much money from popsicles, it is at least an income. And Tietou's father can make popsicles. Although his father can't stand up with his legs, his hands are still fine."
"Aunt Xiuying's parents-in-law shouldn't be the kind of people who treat their daughter-in-law badly, right?"
"No, I heard that when Aunt Xiuying gave birth to a girl first, her mother-in-law even killed the only chicken in the house to nourish her body."
"That's good. As long as they are not those families that favor boys over girls or abuse their daughters-in-law, we will help them if we can. Husband, you can also make a wheelchair for Mr. Wang, so that it will be more convenient for him to make popsicles."
"Yeah, why didn't I think of that? My wife is really smart. Come on, wife, give me a reward..."
The next day at noon, Yike went to find Zhang Xiuying.
"Aunt Xiuying, I want to discuss something with you." Yike said to Zhang Xiuying.
"What's the matter?" Zhang Xiuying wiped her hands and poured Yike a glass of boiled water.
"I will be leaving after the exams. After I leave, no one will make popsicles, and the children will have no popsicles to sell. It's not easy for the children to make a little money, and they will be uncomfortable with it all of a sudden. So, I want to see if you are willing to learn. If you learn, the children will have something to sell for a long time this summer."
"Yes, I do. Thank you Yike, thank you for teaching me such a good way to make money. Thank you!" Zhang Xiuying shed tears of excitement.
"Auntie, don't cry." Yi Ke stood up in panic, not knowing how to comfort her.
"Why are you crying? Look at how useless you are. Don't scare Yi Ke." Although Wang's mother-in-law was scolding her daughter-in-law, her voice was full of excitement.
Zhang Xiuying wiped away her tears and said to Yike embarrassedly, "I, I was just too excited. Yike, you have been taking care of my family since you moved in. I have too many words to thank you for. You didn't treat us as outsiders and you always treated us well. If you have anything to do in the future, just let us know and we will definitely do it."
"Yes, Yike, although I don't have much strength, I can do good needlework. Take off your shoes later, I will measure your size and make a pair of shoes for you." Mother-in-law Wang also said.
"Okay, thank you, mother-in-law. It just so happens that I have a lot of scraps of cloth at home, so I'll trouble you, mother-in-law." Yi Ke did not refuse. If they are not allowed to do something, they will always feel guilty.
