Chapter 17 Taking the Post "Thanks to my mother's family."
Zhang Miao was as elated as the victorious rooster and said, "Otherwise, no one would be willing to use their own ox cart to take a man with a broken head to the town."
Early in the morning, Lin Yuannan, Wang Cuilan and Lin Dawei took a handful of money and ginseng, and called a few villagers to carry Lin Yuandong onto Zhang Miao's family's oxcart and head to the town.
Without the weight of the two mountains above, Zhang Miao relied on the meat in his belly to give random orders, which made Dani and Erni sweat from exhaustion.
"Mom...can we go to dinner?"
Dani held Erni's hand, her dark and thin face with big eyes highlighted with care: "We don't eat too much, just a little. Erni and I didn't eat anything last night..."
I really envy Xiao Ni. She has everything since she was born, her grandparents love her, and her parents protect her. Even if the third rich man doesn’t like Xiao Ni very much, the third rich man and the second rich man will quarrel with them when they say they want to sell Xiao Ni to get money to build a house. .
They are the only ones who have nothing, work all day long, and have two years to go to school, but their family seems to have no intention of sending them there.
However, the first rich man and the second rich man will be old in half a year, and the uncle's family has long discussed giving a good land to others.
"Eat what you want, you know what to eat every day, hurry up and work!" Zhang Miao pinched Dani and scolded: "Two girls want to eat? They are dreaming!"
"One or two of them fell into my mother's belly, and they took the son's place and still want to eat? Bah!"
Dani shivered in pain, shrank up a little, took her sister two steps back, and said in horror: "Mom, Erni and I will feed the pigs right now!"
They both ran away quickly, fearing they would be beaten again.
In the room, Zhou Zhaodi, who was coaxing Lin Xiangrong, frowned. The sound was sharp and harsh, and the words were unpleasant to hear.
"Mom, why can't Dani and Erni eat?" Sanfu, who was squatting and playing next to him, raised his head and said, "Will Xiaoni not be able to eat in the future?"
Children forget very quickly. In the blink of an eye, they completely forgot the previous sentence, "Your mother will not want you if she has a sister."
"How is it possible? Mom will definitely not let Xiangrong starve." Zhou Zhaodi subconsciously defended her, looked at the five-year-old Sanfu, picked him up by the ears: "Xiao Ni changed her name to Xiangrong, don't bite her every Xiaoni."
"Oh, Xiao Rong." Sanfu nodded: "Then why can't Dani and Erni eat?"
Zhou Zhaodi paused, she couldn't tell her son, because they were girls, so they were given very little food a day, and they could only take a few bites of the food, not even the usual good ones.
She mumbled: "Don't ask so many questions. Just protect Xiangrong from now on. Xiangrong was born in the same womb as you. You two are the closest!"
"Oh." San Fu responded and stopped talking. After a while, he raised his head again and said, "Can I not call you San Fu?"
"Then what's your name?"
"Da Rong."
Zhou Zhaodi laughed angrily.
[Haha, brother is so cute, Xiangrong likes him! 】
Lin Xiangrong also laughed.
[Xiang Rong likes his mother and brother the most! 】
"Don't you like Dad?" Zhou Zhaodi lowered her head and asked, "Dad has been hugging Xiang Rong!"
[I don’t like it. Dad almost let bird poop fall into my mouth last time. It’s so annoying. 】
[Let dad go pick mushrooms when you have time. Mushrooms are delicious. 】
"Okay, wait until your dad comes back from town and let him pick mushrooms for Xiangrong to eat." Zhou Zhaodi agreed and was going to go outside to feed the chickens and set aside some food for Dani and Erni. "Mom, who are you talking to?"
She lowered her head and saw the confused look on the San Fu's face. She thought for a moment and was ready to tell her son, lest he Tong Yan Wuji say anything, "Your sister is a golden phoenix flying down from the sky. San Fu, from now on." If you hear Xiangrong talking, no one can tell it, do you understand?"
"understood."
Zhou Zhaodi nodded and gave a few more instructions, asking the three rich men to take a fancy to Lin Xiangrong, then went to the front yard.
"Da Ni, Er Ni!" She greeted twice: "Come and eat."
In the courtyard, Dani and Erni, who were shoveling shit after feeding the pigs, looked up and saw Zhou Zhaodi, who had always lowered his head to talk and said nothing to anyone, calling them, and hesitated for a this morning, Lin Dawei and Wang Cuilan decided to ask for a chicken to replenish Lin Yuandong's body. Dani and Erni smelled the stewed chicken in the kitchen and their stomachs growled all afternoon.
Give them food?
real or fake?
Seeing their expressions, Zhou Zhaodi knew that these two girls didn't believe her. She waved her hands: "Hurry up, don't even think about eating it when your grandma and grandpa come back soon!"
If it weren't for her own daughter being a girl, Zhou Zhaodi wouldn't risk being scolded to get food for Dani and Erni.
"Eh!"
Zhou Zhaodi took out a bowl and scooped out two and a half large pieces of chicken, one for each person. She also scooped out half a bowl of chicken soup and handed it to the two of them.
Dani and Erni ran over. Unexpectedly, they could drink the fragrant chicken soup and eat meat. Tears filled their eyes for a while. They devoured the meat and drank the soup. After washing the bowl and wiping the traces, a Everyone rushed to help Zhou Zhaodi with work.
Third Aunt is so kind, she won’t scold Xiaoni anymore.
In the evening, Xingjia Village.
A bullock cart rattled into the village, and after a while, it stopped in front of Lao Lin's house.
Fang Hongying came back from the fields and went to the door eagerly looking forward to it. When she saw the oxcart showing its head, she immediately stepped forward with joy: "Mom, Dad, how's it going?!"
"It's nothing serious, just a little something, a concussion! It will only take ten days and a half to heal."
Wang Cuilan jumped out of the car and asked, "Quick, is the soup for the boss ready?"
"Okay, my third daughter-in-law has been stewing all afternoon and is waiting for you to come back!" Fang Hongying shouted back as she followed the simple stretcher. After Lin Yuandong lay down on the kang, she pulled Wang Cuilan over and asked quietly: "Mom, how much did the ginseng cost?"
Wang Cuilan stretched out her hand to count.
"so much?!"
Fang Hongying exclaimed: "Is it possible to build a blue brick house with big tiles?"
"Definitely, don't worry, keep the money for future use." Wang Cuilan patted Fang Hongying's hand and went to the front yard wearing the hair flower bought by her daughter Lin Lili.
In the front yard, a group of people were gathered around the dining table.
A large basin of chicken soup and chicken was served, which made people drool at the delicious smell.
The rich man and the second rich man were clamoring for meat, while the third rich man was staring at the ceiling in a daze. The whole family just waited for Wang Cuilan to come over and start eating.
"Eat and eat." Wang Cuilan waved her hand: "Third daughter-in-law, get yourself a bowl of chicken soup. Later, you will make some milk powder and supplements for your baby granddaughter. One portion for the whole family. I bought them back. Every family has them. Which one should I choose? it's the same."
"Okay." Zhou Zhaodi quickly made a bowl of chicken soup for herself. After pouring half of it into the bowl of San Fu, she lowered her head and drank it.
"Mom, you can't leave me alone, right?" Zhang Miao served herself a bowl of chicken soup.
Completely ignoring the two daughters who were greedily swallowing their saliva and only holding bowls with a little bit of rice in their hands.
"Master, you go pick some mushrooms later." Zhou Zhaodi said, "Then show it to your daughter."
Lin Dawei looked over: "Mushrooms? The third child and I will go pick them later."
Then, he lit a leaf cigarette and said: "Boss, I have been resting in bed for half a month. It's easy for my job to be overthrown, especially when the job is unstable due to the new transfer. Which one of you is going to do it?"
"Whoever does the work will be assigned to whose family, forget about the second daughter-in-law, you are pregnant with the second male child."
Zhang Miao was blocked back and sat at the dinner table with an unhappy look on her face. The red mole on her mouth became a little darker.
"I'll go!" Zhou Zhaodi heard this and said quickly: "Dad, we have Dani, Ernie and Mom at home. The work is too tiring. I'll go and do the work, and earn some work points to buy milk powder for Xiaoni."
