Chapter 5 Begging for Milk Powder
The houses were lined up in a dilapidated but neat row, covered with a thin layer of white.
The silent village heard only the occasional barking of dogs from a distance.
Ling Hancheng was cooking in the twins' house when he heard a knock on the door.
"Baoshan? Why did you come early in the morning? ”
The person who came was wearing a green cotton jacket and black long cotton pants, and his face was a little red from the cold, it was Su Baoshan from the house next door.
Ling Hancheng put the wooden stick that arrived at the door to the side and let people in, and took Su Baoshan into the house.
Su Baoshan looked at the empty bed inside and said strangely:
"Why aren't the second, third, and fourth of your family here?"
Su Baoshan usually came to visit the door, knowing that this house was lived in by the children of the Ling family, but he didn't see a few children when he came over so early.
"They're all in the hall." Ling Han became enlightened.
In previous years, these children would shrink into the bed in the winter and not get up, but now that they have a sister, the rooster will knock on the door of the couple in the morning.
Not to mention them, even the boss now just wants to guard his sister every day.
I came out to cook this morning, and I lost the guess with the boss......
It's hard to put into words.
For the first time, Ling Hancheng found out that his boss was also very good when he wanted to make trouble.
Ling Hancheng sorted out his expression and said to Su Baoshan, "Is there something wrong with coming over this morning?" ”
"This ...... It's nothing, I just came to talk to you," Su Baoshan said hesitantly, "Didn't you go to see your mother yesterday." ”
"Yes, it's freezing this day, let my mother go to my eldest brother's to save a little bit." Ling Hancheng laughed twice, "Baoshan...... You still have something, just say what's the matter, what does it have to do with the two of us! ”
Ling Hancheng and Su Baoshan's family are next-door neighbors, and they grew up together since childhood, and later both of them got married, and their daughter-in-law turned out to be handkerchiefs.
The two of them don't have anything to say.
Su Baoshan scratched his head, and his feet rubbed uncontrollably on the ground, as if he was considering how to speak.
After that, he said:
"Then Hancheng, I'll tell you straight, that's it...... It's just that Xiangru hasn't always been in good health, and now the child is small, and she is afraid that the child will not eat well, so she wants to see if you can give us a little more milk powder here......"
Su Baoshan didn't say this in a loud voice, and he was also a little embarrassed.
When the child was born, Chu Yuefang gave them a bag of milk powder, and another bag last month.
But now that I'm done eating, I didn't give it, so I came to the door in person to ask for it...... I always feel that it is difficult to open my mouth.
Especially milk powder is indeed a not cheap thing, it is difficult for ordinary people to get a bag, and the Ling family can have it because of Ling Hancheng's eldest brother's blessing.
"It turned out to be for this, but Baoshan, I'm afraid this won't be done, my family doesn't have much milk powder left, and my family now has an extra doll to eat together, I'm afraid I can't give it to your daughter."
"Just a little bit...... Yes? ”
Su Baoshan hadn't reacted to Ling Hancheng's words.
I thought that although I was embarrassed, as long as he came over and opened his mouth, he would definitely be sure that he would be sure, and his daughter-in-law said the same, but he didn't expect to be rejected by him.
This......
Su Baoshan smacked the words:
"What do you mean...... Another doll? Isn't it just a little five eating milk powder? ”
Except for the fifth child of the Ling family, the youngest of the remaining children is also four years old, do they still need to eat this thing?
Ling Hancheng immediately grinned uncontrollably when he heard this, and he couldn't wait to "show off" the new members of the family:
"I have an extra girl in my family now, and I haven't had time to say it to the big guys, these two children are raised together, and the milk powder or something is definitely not rich."
Their family's milk powder is not blown by the wind, they have given a lot to the Su family before, and now that they have a baby girl, it is definitely impossible to give it to the Su family again.
Their little dragon may not be enough to eat~
Ling Hancheng was also thinking about sending some money to his eldest brother, so that his eldest brother could see if he could think of two more bags of milk powder, but that was also for his own child to open his mouth.
It is impossible for him to be selfless enough to give so much to the Su family.
Su Baoshan opened his mouth and looked at Ling Hancheng in a daze, feeling that he had something to ask.
But even if he wanted to ask Ling Hancheng, he didn't have time to talk to him.
"I still have to cook here, if the weather is good enough to go to town after eating, I won't keep you!"
Ling Hancheng "sent" Su Baoshan to the door, turned around and entered the house.
Su Baoshan stood at the door of Ling's house and was stunned for a long time.
I haven't reacted clearly yet, the Ling family ...... One more, girl!?
What's going on!
With a stomach full of questions, Su Baoshan staggered home.
Ling Hancheng didn't care about Su Baoshan, so he quickly made corn grits porridge, boiled four eggs, fried a plate of shredded potatoes, and cut a plate of pickle gnocchi.
He went to the hall with a bowl of porridge and eggs.
At this time, the new daughter of the Ling family had already woken up, and she was made giggling by several elder brothers, and she tried to reach out her little hand to grab the red rattle in Chu Yuefang's hand.
"Okay, okay, you guys hurry up and eat, my sister can't play with her when she is here!"
Ling Hancheng grabbed Ling Sen and Ling Li, the two who had always been the most disobedient, from the bed, and by the way, he also gave the eldest and second child a warning look.
On weekdays, Ling Hancheng is actually the most amiable, but if he is really fierce, a few children will not dare to be disobedient, so he can only quickly say goodbye to his sister and leave the house with a smoke.
"Oh, daddy's good daughter, give daddy a hug~"
……
Chu Yuefang drank porridge and looked at her husband speechlessly.
Isn't it because I am afraid that I will not be able to rob them if I let a few sons go, so that only the governor is allowed to set fires and the people are not allowed to light the lamps.
Ling Hancheng hugged the little girl into his arms, and his movements were as light as if he was holding a ball of cotton.
Only then did I have time to mention to Chu Yuefang that Su Baoshan came to ask for milk powder.
"Let's forget about the milk powder we gave them before, and we have to keep the milk powder for our little girl in the future, oh, and Xiao Wu, you can't give it anymore."
Ling Hancheng also wanted to remind his daughter-in-law that he couldn't be so generous.
Chu Yuefang suddenly glanced at her husband.
"I know, wasn't it just a little five before, I thought that he was strong and didn't drink milk powder...... Now, of course, it's close to our little girl. ”
At this time, Chu Yuefang was also a little uncomfortable in her heart.
Their family gave it for nothing, but how could they take the initiative to ask for this kind of expensive thing, a bag of milk powder can cost more than ten yuan, it was Ling Hancheng's eldest brother and sister-in-law's heart.
When she gave it to Xu Xiangru before, the other party still excused herself and asked her to leave it for Xiao Wu to drink, why did she come to the door to ask for it at this time.
This man is really weird.
Ling Hancheng was relieved to know that his daughter-in-law had already listened to her words.
Anyway, it doesn't matter if you don't listen to it, now that you have your own daughter, is it still rare for someone else's family to succeed?
