Chapter 44 No Light at All

"The first thing I do when I wake up in the morning is to brush my teeth, wash my face and wash my hands, and clean myself."

"Hee-hee, yes, mother."

"Here on the windowsill, there is green salt, dip your fingers in the green salt, apply it to your teeth, grind it back and forth a few times, and then rinse your mouth, remember not to swallow the salt water into your stomach."

"Yes, mother."

Together with her two sons, she washed herself up and took them around the yard for a few laps.

When she boxed, she let them watch from the side, and she could learn to fight by herself after watching the meeting.

After three sets of punches, she was already sweating, and she washed her face again, and then she began to burn the fire.

"Mother, I'll light the fire, I'll come, what do you say we're cooking?"

I didn't even have a steamed bun at home, so I thought about it, "Let's mix the gnocchi soup, there is no dry food at home, and my mother will go out to buy some back today." ”

"Mother, we will steam steamed buns, do you have old leaven at home?"

"How old are you to do this?"

"My mother at home steamed steamed buns, and we will do it on the side, and we will see it when we are young."

"I'll borrow a piece of yeast from my neighbor when I go back, and you can try to steam it again, so let's make do with it this morning."

Heat the pot, dig a spoonful of lard, choke the pot with green onions, ginger and garlic, store half a pot of water, and then knock six eggs in it.

Only then did he make half a bowl of noodles and mix the pimples, "Who is the boss of you two brothers?" ”

"I, Joe Fengyun"

"Well, Yun'er, you are my eldest son, Feng'er, second son."

"Mother!"

"In the future, my mother will raise you well, you have to listen to your mother's words, and if you feel that what your mother said is wrong, you can bring it up, and you don't always have to look like you are listening to orders."

"Yes, mother!"

Qiao Mai smiled, saw that the pot was boiling, sprinkled the gnocchi in the pot, stirred it gently, put half a spoonful of salt, and finally cut a handful of green onion leaves.

When the pimple soup was almost ready, I threw it in, "Extinguish the heat, perfect"

The brothers were very diligent, and when they knew that the soup was ready, they immediately set up a table in the courtyard and put the dishes and chopsticks.

By the time Qiao Mai had brought the soup to the table, even the bench had been set.

"Mother's hard work!"

"Well, after a while, my mother wants to cook the goods sold today, you can brush the pot and wash the dishes, clean the yard, you don't have to do anything else, you are not allowed to go to the well, let alone go to the well to draw water, my mother saved you, I don't want anything to happen to you again."

"Yes, mother"

Six eggs, two for each person, the brothers ate very satisfied, and seeing that they integrated into this place quickly, they didn't deliberately tell anything more.

The gentleman set up a charcoal stove and began to boil corn, peanuts, and quail eggs.

Now the weather is not cold, you don't need to bring a charcoal stove, just take a big pot after cooking, and sell it on the table.

Until now, she has never used a scale, eggs are sold by one, peanuts are sold by packages, a square piece of oiled paper, and a pack of five cents.

Corn sells ears, melons sell, strawberries sell boxes, watermelons sell blocks, she never bothers to save energy.

After an hour, when all the goods to be sold were ready, she left some of everything, put it in a basin, and brought it to the table in the courtyard.

"After the mother leaves, the two of you will plug in the courtyard door, not the mother, no one will open, the mother on this table will leave a little food for you, eat first when you are hungry, and the mother will come back to see you at noon, and buy some dry food by the way."

"Yes, mother."

"That's pretty much the answer."

Qiao Mai carried the goods to the car and pushed them away, and Fengyun and Yunfeng watched her walk away before they plugged in the courtyard.

came back and sat at the table, the two looked at the food on the table, and their eyes flowed down with anger.

"This woman is so good to us."

"Then let's treat her sincerely and be filial to her in the future."

"Of course, we met a good person, brother, you see, the table is full of goods she wants to sell, we have walked around the town several times, and the things in her stall are expensive, but she made it like this, and put it here for us to eat, it seems that she really treats us as sons."

"Brother, remember, she saved our lives, whether it's good or bad, we have to pay it back, understand?"

"I understand, we will be her sons in the future, and we will be good to her and filial to her for the rest of our lives."

"Well, you can eat whatever you like, don't finish eating and save some, this thing is too expensive."

Qiao Mai naturally didn't know what the little brothers said, and after the stall, many people asked her about yesterday's events.

She smiled, "Those two children are dying of hunger, looking at them is like seeing me before, I can't have a good conscience if I don't save them." ”

"Your heart is so kind!"

Qiao Mai, who heard the praise, only grinned, and many people felt ashamed after hearing it, what a little woman could do, but they saw it and ignored it, ignoring their lives, it was really, alas!

Qiao Mai didn't care what others thought, anyway, from this day on, there were more people who came to her stall to beg for food.

As for her, she also depends on people, the old, weak, sick and disabled, give a copper coin, can buy a steamed bun, the town is so big, there are only a few begging people, she almost knows everything.

So Mrs. Qiao became a great benevolent person in the town, and the words of always helping the poor spread.

When the Tian family heard the wind, they gritted their teeth angrily, especially the old pair.

"I can't imagine that she has gone lucky, not to mention that the business is so prosperous, and she has become a famous good person in the town?"

"Yes, a bad thing that didn't have pigs to eat in our house at the beginning turned into a character who was 800 miles away from the top of the wind and incense, but it made our family stink."

"Now that she has money, our family can't get any light."

"If only the third son were here."

"Lao Tzu regretted giving her a wife's book, damn, I'm so angry with Lao Tzu,"

Not to mention the Tian family, after Qiao Shicheng heard it, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood, he gritted his teeth and said fiercely.

"This white-eyed wolf, I'd rather raise two beggars than help my mother's family, I'd rather give the money to the beggars than to our family, it's really for nothing to raise her, this money-losing goods, bastard, I'm so angry, no, I'm going to find her now."

"Daddy, kid, we're but..."

"Are you going?"

"If you want to go, I'll go with you."

"Call them together, I'll let everyone comment today, see how this girl still quibbles?"

In order to find Qiao Mai as soon as possible, they were willing to spend money to take the ox cart in the village.

As soon as the people who drove the car heard that they were going to Tianshui Town to find Qiao Mai to make trouble, they immediately shook their heads.

"Brother, I advise you not to go."

"Why?"

"If you break off your relationship, you will break off your relationship, and it will not be a family in the future, what she wants to do, that's her business, it has nothing to do with you, it's too unreasonable for you to make trouble like this."

"Ahh

"That's what I said, but it's not like this in the law, it doesn't matter if you break off your family, if you go to make trouble, the mayor of the town will judge you unreasonably."

"I don't believe it, I'm going to reason with her personally."

"Alas, if you want to go, you can go, if you don't go, you won't give up, and you won't take the car when you come back?"

"Wait a minute, maybe you'll be seated."

The driver pulled them to their destination, and when the Qiao family got out of the car, he hurriedly drove the ox cart not far away to watch.

When Qiao Mai saw them, he immediately stood up and put the embroidery into the basket.

"What are you doing here?"

Qiao Shicheng stepped forward and slapped Qiao Mai, but was blocked by Qiao Mai with one hand.

She bent down and picked up the stick under the table and looked at Qiao Shicheng's family with a cold face.

"Whoever is idle to invite the mayor and his old man to come, I can choose whatever is on my stall as a thank you."

"I'll go, I'll go."

Qiao Shicheng looked at Qiao Mai, who was inexhaustible in oil and salt, and pointed at her with trembling hands, "You, you,"

Shopkeeper Lu inadvertently glanced outside, but he was terrible, so he quickly put down the work in his hand and rushed over.

She pushed Qiao Mai behind her, "Your family is really shameless, you have already taken the silver, written a letter of severance, and come to make trouble, it's really shameless." ”
