Knowing that Wei Shuying died yesterday, Niu Ye left Qiao's house.
When he traveled back in time, Niu Ye was not given a chance or a shortcut to lie flat.
Niu Ye went back home. There was no entertainment, so he turned on the radio and listened to radio storytelling.
Maybe my body is getting younger, so my mentality is also getting younger. I also found a few little people's books on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms on my desk to read.
Originally there were 60 volumes of Niu Ye's Little People books in a complete set, but since there are so many of them, if one person borrows a few, there will naturally not be many left at home.
While listening to the radio and reading the little book, I waited until Mother Niu came home.
Niu's mother came back from get off work and brought back half a duck and duck fat pancakes.
In this era, when the three major items are available, there is nothing to spend money on, so the Niu family can only spend a little more on food.
"Niu Ye, if you are hungry, just eat by yourself. Mom will go to Lao Qiao's house."
They all belong to neighbors. Wei Shuying is no longer here, so Niu Ma always wants to pay homage to her.
The Qiao family has always had a difficult time, so the funeral was a little simpler. They used a piece of red cloth from the family to hang up a red tent.
Relatives, friends, and neighbors can go and leave a gift to say goodbye.
The portrait is a two-inch photo, which is enlarged and cannot be enlarged.
Although Qi Zhiqiang's family paid for the urn, Qiao Zuwang still bought the cheapest one.
Naturally, the cemetery was not prepared, and the urn was stored in the funeral parlor.
After Niu Ma went to Qiao's house and came back, her feedback was that Qiao's house was quite shabby.
But this is understandable. Most families are in this situation. With the proper rituals, it won’t be so shabby.
When Niu Ye went to school the next day, he saw Qiao Yicheng again.
Qiao Yicheng is twelve years old, two years older than Niu Ye. He is already in fifth grade and will go to junior high school in the second half of the year. He is also a rare child in Shamao Alley who likes to read.
Not only did he not become Niu Ye's follower, but he also disliked the streetwalker Niu Ye. The relationship between the two was quite stiff.
Qiao Yicheng probably had the mentality in his mind that I am a good student and I will not play with bad students like you.
"Brother Niu Ye, you are finally out of school. Can I come to your house and read your little book?"
When Niu Ye came home from school, he saw Qiao Erqiang holding a Sanli in his left hand and a Simei in his right hand, waiting at the door of Niu's house.
This child has been slow to react and not very clever since he was a child.
According to Qiao Zuwang, Qiao Erqiang has the head of a human and the brain of a pig. The reason is that when Qiao Erqiang was born, the Qiao family was too poor, so Qiao Zuwang drank too much homemade liquor, which damaged Qiao Erqiang's brain.
At the age of seven, he was supposed to go to primary school, but Qiao Erqiang went there for a while and couldn't keep up with his studies.
In order to pay his child's tuition a year later, Qiao Zuwang took advantage of the situation and postponed Qiao Erqiang's schooling age.
"Come in, I'll get you a little book to read."
Niu Ye opened the door and let the Qiao family's children into the room.
I took a few little people's books and the three children of the Qiao family looked at them quietly.
One is eight years old, one is six years old, and the other is four years old. Although they have just lost their mother, they are obviously still too young and do not understand the meaning of loss. They are sad and forgetful quickly.
"Gu Gu Gu, Gu Gu Gu."
Not long after he sat down, Niu Ye heard Qiao Erqiang's stomach growling hungry.
"Are you hungry? Just wait and I'll find you something to eat."
Niu Ye gave three people an apple and a piece of peach cake.
"Thank you, Brother Niuye (Brother Niu)."
"Brother Niu, thank you. My brother just gave us rice soaked in boiling water."
Although Qiao Simei is the youngest, she is the most articulate and well-spoken among the Qiao brothers and sisters.
After losing their mother, the quality of life of the Qiao brothers and sisters has plummeted.
It's time to cook a serious meal at night. I don't eat in the morning and eat the leftovers from the night before at noon.
In order to forget the pain of losing his wife in his middle age, Qiao Zuwang played mahjong all night long during the bereavement leave and used it to catch up on sleep during the day.
Qiao Yicheng was only twelve years old. He had a very virtuous mother before, so naturally he couldn't master many cooking skills.
When I came back from school at noon, I had limited cooking skills and limited time, so I had to boil the leftover rice, add some pickles, and make a fool of the kids.
Moreover, the food at Qiao's house doesn't taste bad, but the quantity is not enough.
Unlike Niu Ye's family, the family is not only rich but also has a large food ration. Because Niu Ye's father is not at home all the year round, the mother and son only eat the ration for three people, and they don't even eat much whole grains.
"Sanli, Simei, if you are hungry from now on, please come to Brother Niu."
The two little girls couldn't eat much, so they found a way to feed them any snacks they could find.
"Brother Niu Ye, what about me?"
Qiao Erqiang, a foodie in the Qiao family, also looked at Niu Ye eagerly and said.
If this kid has any special skills, he still has a very sharp nose because of his gluttony.
"Then you can come along and I'll try my best to find you something to eat."
Niu Ye couldn't bear to let down such a loyal little follower.
When the time comes, you can make some coarse grains from home for the second strongman to eat. For this boy, just make it a little coarser.
"Qiao Erqiang, Sanli, and Simei are going home for dinner."
At Niu Ye's house, I clearly heard Qiao Yicheng's call.
"Okay, your elder brother has called you. You can go back and take the book away. Just return it to me after reading it."
The system of signing in is still useful. At least with the money and supplies, it is not a problem to feed a few children.
Niu Ye went to school for two more days. Although the primary school students were very happy, they became bored after experiencing too much.
The children's class was a little too simple, and Niu Ye couldn't participate in some of the children's games.
I still decided to skip a grade. This semester is coming to an end and it will definitely be too late.
Niu Ye is preparing to make a blockbuster during the final exam.
Then in the next school year, I will skip the fourth grade and go to the fifth grade.
So Niu Ye didn't play with his younger brothers after school these days.
I drove all the younger brothers back home to study. The children in Shamao Lane were originally considered to be in the civilian area of Jinling City.
These children want to change their destiny, and reading is the easiest and broadest way.
I was also at home, pretending to study, preparing to stage a drama of the prodigal son turning back.
Let the cow mother just shout, Niu Ye has grown up and changed his gender. He was so happy that the family ate two more ducks.
"The youngest son of Lao Qiao's family has been brought back!"
"She's so beautiful. She doesn't look like the Qiao family at all."
"How could he, Qiao Zuwang, give birth to such a beautiful child?"
When Niu Ye was in the house, he heard the voices of his neighbor Aunt Wu and his great-aunt talking.
