When Su Qinghu got home from get off work an hour early, she saw Erdan rushing towards her. She quickly raised her hand and made a gesture to stop him.
Only after putting the bicycle away did Su Qinghu let him speak.
Erdan recounted the story and even pulled people to the kitchen, offering them treasures. "Mom, someone sent us something today. It was someone I helped before."
Su Qinghu looked at the various foods placed on the floor in the kitchen and immediately knew who it was.
Apart from the old teacher, there was really no one who could persist in giving her anything.
Eggs, old pumpkins, winter melons, some chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, and dried vegetables look ordinary, but they are also unusual. After all, they are all staple food.
"You didn't give any return gift?" Su Qinghu took a look, picked up the eggs and put them on the shelf, ready to take them to her aunt's house tomorrow.
This kitchen shelf was made before the holiday. It is specially used to store some root vegetables and vegetables such as old pumpkins and winter melons. It is practical and saves space.
Erdan: "There's nothing good to give him at home, so my brother and I packed up the bread you made and gave it to him."
After saying that, he added, "My brother told him to eat it directly or roast it on the stove."
Su Qinghu nodded and praised, "Not bad."
"Mom, he also gave us a chicken." Erdan's eyes sparkled. "It has white feathers and black skin."
Su Qinghu: "Black-bone chicken?"
"I don't know." Erdan gave a flattering smile, "Mom, can we keep him?"
Su Qinghu: "...not good, right?"
She doesn't want to be woken up by chickens on weekends, nor does she want her house to smell like chicken shit.
"Okay?" Erdan argued. "That chicken is half-grown and too skinny. It's not worth eating it now. Let's raise it for a while and eat it when it's fat. And the old man said we can raise it for a while longer."
Su Qinghu: "After the Lantern Festival, you will go to school. Who will feed the chickens? Who will clean the chicken coop?"
After she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered something was wrong, "Where's your brother?"
I haven't seen Dadan since I came back.
"My brother?" Erdan scratched his head. "My brother is out seeing someone off."
Su Qinghu frowned: "When did you go? How long have you been gone?"
When she came back, she saw no one.
"An hour." Erdan grabbed her hand, checked the time on his watch, and said, "My brother has been gone for an hour."
One hour?
It takes an hour to deliver someone?
Otherwise——
"By the way, today is your last day of classes. Your teacher said he would reveal a secret to your brother. Did he say what he said?" Su Qinghu straightened his expression.
Seeing this, Erdan blinked and said, "Ah, he did. He said he met my brother and his family abroad."
"Then what?" Su Qinghu asked.
She now has a bad feeling. Could it be that this child is following others' example and running away from home to look for his biological parents?
She had already sent the letter to Chen Lie, but it had only been five or six days, which was not enough time for a letter to go back and forth.
So, now that Chen Lie hasn't replied, she doesn't know what the current situation is with Dadan's family.
However, she really didn't want to give such a beautiful child to someone else.
Unless this family is sincere in their treatment and has good economic conditions and education level in their area, she would definitely ask them to take a step back instead of taking a step back and letting the child go herself.
"That's all." Erdan was puzzled. "He even asked my brother to take good care of his family."
Su Qinghu didn't notice that she felt relieved after Erdan said this.
But even if you don't have the address to look for your family, you shouldn't be out for an hour and not come back, right?
Just sending it to one person!
"Let's go out and see why your brother hasn't come back yet." Su Qinghu gathered her scarf and walked out.
Erdan followed, but felt that his mother was making a big deal out of nothing.
I'm only going out for an hour and I still have to find someone?
In the past, if they didn't come back for a whole day and a whole night, the woman wouldn't even look for them...
However, he still likes being remembered like this, even though it is distressing sometimes.
As soon as the two of them arrived at the gate of the yard, they ran into someone head-on.
Dadan was stunned and looked at the two of them. What were they going to do?
Su Qinghu: "Why did you take so long to come back?"
Dadan could now easily discern the tone in Su Qinghu's words. Hearing her seemingly complaining, but actually worried words, he was a little confused. "Have you been gone for a long time?"
He was already making the most of his time because the retired teacher had to catch the last bus back.
"One hour and ten minutes." Su Qinghu raised his wrist. "According to what your brother said."
Big Egg: “…”
One hour and ten minutes is a long time?
"The retired teacher wanted to buy crayons and sketchbooks for the children at school, so I took him there," Dadan explained. "After I dropped him off at the bus, I took the bus back."
Because they were familiar with the place and knew the prices, they went straight to their destination. Within ten minutes, they had bought everything and left.
Su Qinghu nodded and let Dadan in. "By the way, your brother is planning to stop raising chickens. What do you think?"
"I ate it." Dadan's words were very concise.
Erdan bared his teeth and said, "You only know how to eat!"
"Don't you want to eat?" Dadan asked back.
Erdan quickly raised his chin and looked left and right at the sky, but didn't look at him.
Grandpa said that this chicken is a small chicken with less meat, but it is tender. If stewed with potatoes or winter melon, everyone can eat two bowls of it.
Su Qinghu had been fed by her aunt and parents-in-law from afar recently, and she was already afraid of eating chicken. "How about this, tomorrow, we'll first send some freshly baked bread to your grandparents, and then take this chicken to your great-grandmother's house."
