Chapter Twenty-Eight: Beware of Being Stolen
Mother Li saw that it was a big meat bun, and hurriedly stuffed the oiled paper bag into Chen Qiao's hand, she ate such a good thing in vain.
"Auntie, take it, I still have it here, this meat bun is a nutritious meal bought in the hospital, which is cheaper than the one bought in a state-run restaurant."
Mother Li secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but still shook her head resolutely, Li Huan finally understood why Cheng Qiao didn't eat meat buns yesterday morning, it turned out that he wanted to eat it for his mother.
"Mother, you take it for breakfast, and you're tired of the autumn harvest."
Mother Li saw that her son had spoken, so she could only leave with a big meat bun, and if she didn't go to the ground, she was worried that the village chief would scold, Li Huan gave Li Le a look and left, Li Le smiled and nodded.
"Let's go to work too, we'll be deducted centimeters if it's late."
Xiaoqin glanced at her watch and became anxious.
"Let's go, Cheng Qiao, close the door by yourself, let's go."
In just a few minutes, almost all the people in the courtyard of Zhiqing Point left, Cheng Qiao and Li Le looked at each other and smiled, and the two of them also entered the house hand in hand.
There were only two big eyes left in the courtyard, Xu Lai and Chai Jianmin, Chai Jianmin looked at Xu Lai who was disheveled and his face was red and swollen, his body shook involuntarily, and he left quickly.
"Lele, do you know how to write?"
"Second sister-in-law, I won't."
"That's not going to work, you have to go to school after the fall harvest."
"I'm not going."
"Why?"
"The family doesn't have extra money to go to school."
"I'll give you money, you must go to school well, and at least be able to read and write account books in the future."
"Second sister-in-law......"
"Come, let's take inventory, you can put it away after I'm done writing."
The bride price doesn't need to be counted, and it is in front of you with a sweep of your eyes, but Cheng Qiao still wrote it in a notebook seriously, three feet of cotton, fifty pounds of rice, and a bicycle......
No, didn't Li Huan say that the bicycle was borrowed, well, I will have to ask Li Huan when I see him, Cheng Qiao wrote down this matter in his heart.
"Second sister-in-law, are these your dowries?"
"Well, I'll take it apart, and you put it on these beds."
Cheng Qiao pointed to the beds of Han Chunmei and a few people, and then took out a pair of bright red hot water bottles, and then a pair of glass sugar jars.
"Second sister-in-law, what is this, it's so beautiful."
"Sugar tank, put sugar, you wait, I'll find candy."
Cheng Qiao's hand rummaged through the bag, and after a while, he took out two brand-new lunch boxes, opened them, and they were full of white sugar.
"Wow, second sister-in-law, why do you have so much sugar."
Seeing the little girl swallowing her saliva secretly, Cheng Qiao's hand reached into her trouser pocket again, and when she took it out again, five or six colorful fruit candies appeared in her hand.
"Here's for you."
"Wow, it's fruit candy, thank you second sister-in-law."
Li Le found out that Cheng Qiao gave her fruit candy, and smiled crookedly, she likes to eat candy so much, but unfortunately her mother always doesn't buy it for herself, if it weren't for the second brother, she would have forgotten the taste of sugar.
"No thanks, let's eat it, and the eggs, I cooked them in the morning, and they're still hot."
Cheng Qiao took out two hard-boiled eggs from his jacket pocket and stuffed them into Li Le's hands.
"And eggs, second sister-in-law, you're so nice, I'm really hungry."
While Li Le was peeling eggshells, Cheng Qiao quickly smuggled the materials in the space, underwear, sweaters, socks, shoes, gloves, hats, scarves, bedding, dishes and chopsticks, and iron pots of all sizes......
"Second sister-in-law......"
Li Le originally wanted to give the eggs to Cheng Qiao to eat, but when he saw that there were so many things on the shop at once, he screamed in fright.
"What's the matter, eat the eggs."
"Oh"
Li Le stopped talking, and was very moved in his heart, it seems that the second sister-in-law used all the money that the Chen family paid her to buy a dowry, this second sister-in-law is really good.
Cheng Qiao hurried up to register, as long as she could think of it, everything in the grocery store was written, anyway, Li Le couldn't read, she could write anything.
Glancing at the watch on his wrist, he worked hard for a while, the time was almost ten o'clock, and he had to cook, otherwise he would delay the delivery of food.
Quickly put everything into the sack, tied a dead knot with rope, and placed it in the corner.
"Lele, let's go make lunch."
"Second sister-in-law, have you finished writing, I'll go to my mother after I'm done, I don't worry about her alone."
"I'm done, but I want to cook some food for you to bring over, the autumn harvest is very hard, you have to eat well."
Li Leyao Yaotou, she ate twenty big meat dumplings yesterday, and she was already satisfied, so today her mother brought corn tortillas and water, as long as she was not hungry.
Seeing that Li Le was in a hurry, Cheng Qiao didn't leave her anymore, it was convenient to cook alone, just do it, Cheng Qiao moved his hand, first soaked a little mung beans in water, and sent a mung bean soup in the afternoon to quench his thirst and replenish his strength.
The autumn harvest time is tight, and it is impossible to fry a few vegetables to eat slowly, so steam some steamed buns and cakes, and then fry a cabbage with oil residue, and eat it with steamed buns, it must taste good.
Due to the tight time, after Cheng Qiao burned the fire, he directly steamed it with the sorghum steamed bread in the space, which has actually been improved, not only does not get stuck in the throat, but also has a soft and sweet taste.
Taking advantage of the sorghum steamed buns steaming on the pot, Cheng Qiao went to cut a cabbage in his own field, broke it into pieces, washed it and chopped it for later use.
After the sorghum steamed buns are steamed, brush the pot and put oil, pour in the cabbage and stir-fry, and when the cabbage is about to be cooked, sprinkle a large handful of lard residue, cover the pot and simmer for a few minutes.
took out the lunch box and tea jar, one put sorghum steamed buns, the other put cabbage fried lard residue, turned off the fire and locked the door and ran to the field, she still remembered the land assigned to Mother Li to work in her previous life.
"Cheng Qiao, where are you going?"
As soon as I passed by a ridge, a familiar voice came, Cheng Qiao looked at it, it turned out to be Han Chunmei, and saw that there were blood marks on her hands and face, which were small cuts cut by corn leaves.
"Sister Chunmei, this is for you."
Since Cheng Qiao has space, he has been used to carrying a cloth bag, so that it is convenient to take things, and the two lunch boxes are also placed in the cloth bag, so no one can see them.
"Labor protection gloves, Cheng Qiao, where did you get them?"
Han Chunmei became excited, this thing is difficult to get, I don't know how Cheng Qiao got it.
"Shhh, I originally prepared it for myself, but now the village chief doesn't let me rest, so I don't need this, you can use it first."
"Cheng Qiao, thank you, by the way, where are you going?"
"I'm going to see my future mother-in-law, and I have to have a good relationship."
"Well, go ahead, but don't be too obedient, or you'll suffer in the future."
"Got it, I'm leaving."
Han Chunmei put on her gloves with a smile and started working again, and several villagers on the side, as well as Xu Laidi, had envious lights in their eyes.
