Chapter 20: Two Eggs
Qin Mianmian didn't know that Fu Chen was going to say such a thing at first, but when she saw her sad face, she immediately reacted.
"Mother, do you think I'm spending money indiscriminately." She asked softly.
Fu Chen turned his head blankly, and his eyes were suddenly full of apologies.
"That's not what I meant.... Money is meant to be earned by you. She smiled wryly, and then prepared to soak the beans.
Qin Mianmian nodded thoughtfully: "I think you're right, I earned this money originally." ”
Fu Chen: .....
"Mother, you're afraid that I'll spend all the money, and then I won't be able to pay back Wan Luo's money." She said again.
Fu Chen nodded: "I'm not blaming you, I'm just worried." ”
She sighed, her brow creeping up again.
Qin Mianmian looked at her appearance full of negative energy, and felt very uncomfortable.
"Mother, how have you supported this family over the years?"
She was skeptical, very skeptical.
It stands to reason that Fu Chen should not have such a ability, because she will only worry and shed tears at every turn.
But the truth is so amazing, she just supported this family. Although she was about to collapse at this moment, it was undeniable that she really held it up.
"After so many years, hold on." Fu Chen smiled bitterly, put away the rice and white noodles she bought, and prepared to soak the beans.
"It's useless to worry, mother, you actually know it, right?" Qin Mianmian also sighed, and walked up to help her prepare soybeans together.
"Yes, but I can't help it right now. Your Aunt Wan is not easy to mess with, if we can't pay back the day after tomorrow, she will really take away our pigs. ”
"No, man will win the day, and we will definitely be able to save enough money. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if we really can't afford to let her take the pig away, we will definitely be able to buy it back in the future. ”
Fu Chen: .....
"How dare you be so sure, how hard it is to make money these days." She smiled wryly.
Outside, Fu Jingbo rested for a while and picked up the axe again, and began to chop firewood.
Qin Mianmian glanced outside, and reminded Fu Chen: "Mother, in fact, the situation in our family is not so bad. ”
"Isn't it bad, if you hadn't hunted a wild boar today, our family would have reached a dead end."
"Desperate for life." Qin Mianmian replied very easily.
Fu Chen opened his mouth, and was about to say something more when he heard a voice outside.
Qin Mianmian turned her head to look at her at the same time, and saw Fang Fang limping back with a cane, followed by a boy about the same size as her.
"Aunt Fu, my mother asked me to send Fangfang back, but I have already sent it." Xiaohuzi shouted in a loud voice, and after shouting, he looked at Fu Jingbo who was chopping wood over there.
"Little Huzi, you're here." Fu Chen put on a smiling face, wiped away the tears that he accidentally shed just now, and welcomed them out.
Qin Mianmian saw Fangfang's limping appearance, and simply put down the soybeans in his hand and went out.
"Sister, you're back." Fangfang's eyes lit up when she saw her and Fu Jingbo, and she asked with a smile.
She nodded, and stepped forward to support the little girl who was walking and jumping.
"This girl is also skin, and she will hurt you to beat the little tiger. In the future, you won't be so noisy, how scary. Fu Chen took a small stool for Fangfang to sit on, and taught his daughter a lesson.
"It's not Fangfang's fault, my mother beat me because I went to the river to play." Xiaohuzi scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.
Qin Mianmian: .....
"It really deserves to be beaten."
Fu Chen: ????
"Yes, yes, Xiaohuzi's mother said that he would break his leg the next time he went to the river to play alone." Fang Fang smiled and agreed, not thinking that there was anything wrong with Qin Mianmian's words.
"It's not okay to go with your companions, it's dangerous." Qin Mianmian said again.
"Mianmian." Fu Chen straightened up and shouted helplessly.
This is not a child of her family, how can she be reprimanded at will.
"This sister, you are Fangfang's sister-in-law, you are so good-looking. But my mother said that I can go with my companions, and I can go to the river to bathe, and I won't be beaten. Xiaohuzi raised his eyebrows, quite provocative.
Qin Mianmian: "You can't take a bath, you will be drowned." ”
When Fu Chen heard her words, his face became even more ugly.
"Mianmian, Xiaohuzi is not our child, don't be so scared."
She hasn't had much contact with Xiaohuzi's mother, but she always feels bad about scaring other people's children like this.
"I didn't scare him, he would have drowned. The water is not shallow, and if the child is flooded, there is absolutely no possibility of saving himself, and it is not very likely that a child of the same age can save him. Qin Mianmian continued seriously.
Xiaohuzi cut a voice: "It's as if you've been drowned, don't think I don't know that you're from Niuerling, a mountain crab hasn't seen the water, is it scared when you look at it." ”
"I've really fallen, and besides, I can swim." Qin Mianmian's face was full of sincerity.
Little Huzi: ....
"Liar, how can you be a mountain crab swimming. Don't think I don't know that there is only one small ditch in Niuerling, my aunt's house is there, I know. Xiaohuzi still didn't believe it.
"Little Huzi Little Huzi, she really fell into the river and almost drowned, but my brother rescued her." Fang Fang pulled off Xiaohuzi's clothes and whispered.
Little Tiger: ???
"I don't believe it."
"Really." Fu Chen also looked sincere: "As for the day before yesterday, many people saw it at that time, you can go back and ask your mother." ”
Although she didn't agree with Qin Mianmian teaching other people's children, she didn't want to look down on her daughter-in-law because of a little big person like Xiaohuzi.
Xiaohuzi looked at Fu Chen, and then at Fangfang, and both of them looked determined.
"That's you, too, you can't swim to get drowned. If it were me, I wouldn't have drowned. He stomped his foot and snorted, and ran away without looking back.
Qin Mianmian looked at his back, thoughtful.
"Sister, sister." Fang Fang was helped by Fu Chen to sit on the chair at some point, dragging Qin Mianmian's hand and shouting.
"You kid, I've said a few times that she's your sister-in-law, what's your sister's name?" Fu Chen shook his head, looking helpless.
Fang Fang stuck out her tongue, snorted, and then pulled out two eggs from her arms.
"Sister, eat it quickly, this egg is still hot." As he spoke, he handed her one.
Then he looked at the other egg in his hand and hesitantly handed it to Fu Chen.
"Mother, the eggs are delicious, you can try one too." She said timidly, her cautious appearance was very distressing.
Qin Mianmian looked at the still warm egg in his hand and chuckled in his heart.
"Fangfang, what you told Xiaohuzi yesterday about exchanging pigweed for eggs was for me and my mother?" She squatted down and looked at Fangfang and asked seriously.
