Chapter 1 Poverty
Zhao Jiao lay on the bed with a pale face and was weak, staring at the top of the reeds.
"Mother... Mother..."A grandmother's voice shouted loudly, and with the sound came a little Ding Dou, who ran into the room wearing gray homespun clothes.
"Po is back! Sunburned, right? If you want to lie down and play with your mother, you have to go out to sunbathe, is it hot? Zhao Jiao asked softly.
"It's not hot, mother, I didn't go down to the ditch! Mother, look, this is given to Bao'er by Brother Dongzi, Bao'er is not willing to eat, bring it back to her mother! Po said, holding his hand open.
"......" Zhao Jiao didn't see it!
The little paws are black, and the hand should be a mulberry fruit, but there is mud in the hand and the fruit is scratched, and the fresh fruit is already watery, and this clenched fist will not become a mud, can you eat it?
Bao'er didn't know what her mother thought, but she was happy that her mother could eat it, and she smiled and picked up a mulberry fruit with her other hand to prepare to send it to her mother's mouth.
Cai Ercheng walked in at this time, and seeing the situation, he hurriedly picked up Bao'er and quickly walked out of the room.
"Uncle, look at Bao'er has something delicious!" Bao'er loves to be beautiful, and she bragged to her uncle with a smile.
Cai Ercheng looked at his nephew, who was about to become a mud monkey, and was speechless.
"Bao'er, do you remember what your mother said? We should keep our little hands clean and wash our hands frequently after playing with mud. Look here, there is a lot of black mud on the fruit, and it will hurt your stomach if you eat it, does Bao'er want her little stomach to hurt again? β
Half a month ago, the little guy may have caught a cold and had a little stomach upset, so he lied to him and said that he had eaten something dirty.
"Don't!" As soon as she said that her stomach hurt, Bao'er immediately shook her head, and immediately covered her little belly with two dirty little hands, and the puree on her hands also dyed half of her body.
"Look! You're afraid of a stomachache, how can you give it to your mother? If my mother eats Bao'er's dirty fruit, not only will my mother's stomach hurt, but my brother will hurt even more! He is younger than Bao'er, is Bao'er willing to let her brother feel uncomfortable? β
"Thatβ" Bao'er held up the fruit in her hand and didn't know what to do.
"Let's feed the chickens, if the chickens are full, we will lay more eggs for Bao'er to eat, and also for my mother and younger brother, okay?"
"Mother didn't eat!" Bao'er was extremely unhappy.
"The day after tomorrow, my uncle still has to go up the mountain to fetch firewood, and when he sees a clean mulberry fruit, he will pick it for Bao'er and Bao'er's mother, okay? Look at the dirt, it's all dirt! β
"Uncle is not allowed to deceive people!"
Cai Ercheng nodded hurriedly.
Bao'er stared at her uncle for a while, and finally smiled again.
Cai Ercheng breathed a sigh of relief, this stingy bag was quite good to speak today, and he didn't keep arguing with him.
Quickly washed Bao'er's face and hands, and the little white bun face that had faded away the gray mud was revealed.
Bao'er is very handsome, with a square nose and face, red lips and white teeth.
The most striking thing on the whole face is the big cat-like eyes, blinking and blinking, Cai Ercheng's heart melted, and the small scratches on his head followed Bao'er's movements little by little.
Facing such a lovely nephew, Cai Ercheng couldn't help but smile comfortably, picked up Bao'er and put it on a cushion, threw it above his head and then continued.
"Uncle, hahahaha... It's fun, come again, hahahaha..."Bao'er giggled happily.
After playing for a while, seeing that it was almost noon, Cai Ercheng entered the house with Bao'er in his arms.
"Lady, I'll cook a gnocchi soup for you to eat at noon, do you want to drink water? I'll pour you some water, but I'll drink less water when I'm ready to eat. Cai Ercheng said softly to Zhao Jiao.
"Ercheng, don't bother, just eat the bread, you can't eat it in the hot weather."
"Well, what about the two of you eating! The cake is too thick, I'll eat it later, and you and Bao'er will eat gnocchi soup.
Sleep first, and I'll wake you up later, Bao'er will accompany her mother. β
The little guy nodded straight, because there was a piece of rock candy in his mouth, and he was too busy to reply.
The sorghum cake is dry and hard, and it is fine to eat it usually, but the daughter-in-law is now double, and her health is not good, she is almost three months pregnant, and she has been vomiting badly, and she is so thin that only bones remain.
I finally got some two noodles and noodles back, although it was not all white noodles, and I added some buckwheat flour, but it was still delicious.
With Bao'er accompanying the lady, Cai Ercheng hurriedly went out to cook, and in the morning the lady vomited completely, and now her stomach must be very uncomfortable.
Zhao Jiao sighed in her heart, when will this day be a head!
Poor! Really poor!
Hold down the discomfort in your stomach and chat with Bao'er.
It should be almost noon, and Cai Ercheng brought the cooked meal directly to the house.
"Ercheng, I'll go out to eat, so I don't have to get the bed dirty."
"No, you sit on the bed when you're weak. I took Bao'er out, it was too hot just done, be careful! Cai Ercheng took out the bed table, it was not big, it was as wide as the table on the hospital bed now, not so long.
After putting the noodles on the table, Bao'er's eyes didn't move the beads, but it didn't prevent her little mouth from moving!
The rock candy that Cai Ercheng just stuffed was not big, and the little guy might be reluctant to eat it in batches, and was slowly sucking.
"Bao'er eats slowly, you have to take your time, let's go out first." said that he hurriedly went out with Bao'er in his arms, so as to save him from disturbing the lady's dinner.
Zhao Jiao listened to the conversation outside the door, and also picked up the bowl with a smile.
"Uncle, tomorrow I will definitely be taller than today!"
"Why?"
"Because Bao'er ate noodles! Bao'er, who eats noodles, grows taller every day, so Bao'er has to eat noodles every day. "While eating, my hands are dancing.
"But Bao'er didn't eat noodles yesterday, and my uncle also saw that Bao'er was taller, taller than Bao'er who didn't eat noodles!"
"That's because my uncle's eyes have become smaller and I can't see clearly, Bao'er didn't grow taller if she didn't eat noodles yesterday, I don't believe you asked your mother." Boa kicks the ball.
"Just you monkey spirit!" Cai Ercheng scolded with a smile.
"Uncle, Brother Dongzi said that Uncle came back in the evening, and asked Bao'er to go to his house to eat meat at night!"
"Oh, Dongzi's father will come back at night? Nacheng, you go, eat less at noon and eat more meat on an empty stomach at night, and tomorrow it will grow taller. By the way, I gave the saved gnocchi soup to my uncle, and my uncle can grow his strength after eating, and next time he can throw Bao'er higher and fly high like a bird. β
"Uncle... Uncle... Bad! Bao'er shouted angrily in a long voice, looking at Cai Ercheng with a fierce face.
ββ¦β¦β
With the sound of laughter outside, Zhao Jiao quickly finished eating the gnocchi, probably really wanting to eat a better meal, she didn't have the slightest idea of vomiting, and she ate as much as she could.
Cai Ercheng diligently cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks and fed the poultry, and then washed Bao'er and didn't dress him, so he let him go back to the house to play with his mother naked.
By the time he had cleaned himself up and gone back to bed, the little one was asleep, snoring like a pig.
The boy is so energetic, he has been crazy since dawn until now, and this will finally be quiet.
