Early the next morning, Li's mother and Li Le were busy in the kitchen. Today they were going to the county town to take photos. Cheng Qiao had to hold his son, and Li Huan had to drive the ox cart. The two of them had to prepare a lot of things.
Going out now is not like before. With a baby at home, you need to prepare a lot of things when going out, such as diapers, bottles, warm water, etc. Cheng Qiao also must not go hungry, otherwise what will happen if there is no milk.
Cheng Qiao smiled and watched Mother Li walking around excitedly. Only then did she realize that there were too few things in the space that the baby could use. Except for milk powder and talcum powder, there was basically nothing else, let alone disposable diapers.
Fortunately, Li's mother was well prepared. She used sorghum noodles to change the torn sheets with others, and then cut them into pieces of diapers. She washed them several times and scalded them with boiling water before giving them to her children.
Qiu Min prepared the milk bottles. Whenever the supply and marketing cooperative came with milk bottles and milk powder, she would find a way to save some. Before she knew it, little Cheng Li had seven or eight milk bottles.
When Uncle Niu learned that Li Huan was going to borrow the bullock cart to take pictures in the photo studio, he felt itchy in his heart. He had never taken a photo in his life and wanted to take one.
"Uncle Niu, let's go. I'll ask you to take a photo, but I won't give you the money for the ox cart."
"Okay, let me feed the old cow something to eat first. You go back and prepare it first. I will come over later."
Uncle Niu put a lot of grass in the cow trough, which Zhao Xiaobao's parents cut early every morning. The old cow liked to eat it.
Then I went back to the house, dug out all the clothes in the cabinet, picked through them, and finally found a yellowed white shirt and a pair of khaki pants with patches on the knees.
The Li family waited for the bullock cart to arrive and quickly locked the door. Little Cheng Li rode the bullock cart for the first time in his two lives. His eyes flashed with excitement, which made Li Le happy. He kept saying that his nephew was the best in the world.
The smartest kid.
Xu Laidi was sitting at the door of her yard holding her child. Now that Chen Dazhu was dead, Chen Tiezhu and the others did not dare to bully her, so she had secretly dug out the jar buried under the old tree at the entrance of the village.
There is a gold ring in the jar that she defrauded from Cheng Qiao before. Cheng Qiao, an idiot, has so many good things that he may have forgotten the existence of this ring.
In addition to the money she had secretly sold and saved over the years, and the money Chen Dazhu told her to hide in the kang hole before he died, it actually amounted to more than 100 yuan.
Having this money undoubtedly gave Xu Laidi the confidence to raise her children. However, when she saw Cheng Qiao and his family riding on an ox cart heading towards the county town, the satisfaction she felt just now disappeared in an instant.
Cheng Qiao saw Xu Laidi looking at her and the child in his arms viciously, and glared at her in kind. Li Huan also felt the change in his wife's face and glanced in the direction of Xu Laidi's house.
Xu Laidi's heart trembled. She always felt that Cheng Qiao seemed to be a different person, but she couldn't figure out why it was like this. When she saw Li Huan also turned to look over, she quickly picked up the child and turned around and entered the house.
The photo studio was deserted. Everyone wanted to take photos of themselves, but the money in their pockets did not allow it. Mother Li found out that it cost fifty cents to take a one-inch photo. She was so frightened that she turned around and left.
Li Huan quickly grabbed Li's mother. He asked Cheng Qiao to sit in the middle with the child in his arms. He asked Li's mother and Li Le to sit on the left side of Cheng Qiao, and he sat on her right side.
When the photographer saw the business coming to his door, he happily adjusted the camera, and with a click, a family of five was imprinted in one photo.
Seeing that the photographer was going to make an order, Li Huan quickly spoke: "Master, take a picture of my wife and children alone, then take a picture of my children alone, and our family of three, take a picture alone."
The photographer's eyes lit up. There was a white carpet specially used for taking pictures of infants and young children in the photo studio. You just need to put the child on it, lying down or lying down.
Cheng Qiao carefully put little Cheng Li up: "Baby, smile at the camera. We will send the photo to your grandpa then."
Little Cheng Li really tried his best to raise his head and looked at the toy in the photographer's hand with wide eyes without even blinking. He was so happy that the photographer promised to enlarge a photo for the boy for free.
Li Le really wanted to take a photo alone, but when he thought of the fifty cents, he kept his mouth shut. No wonder the monitor was so arrogant. Taking photos was so expensive.
"Master, come and take a photo of my sister and my mother alone."
Li's mother angrily raised her fist and tried to hit Li Huan, but the force that hit Li Huan could not even kill a mosquito. Li Huan smiled and pushed Li's mother onto the chair and took the photo. Why did she care about a few cents?
Finally, when Li Huan went to pay, Li Le saw that his second brother had given him twelve yuan. He was so frightened that his heart almost stopped beating. After a few clicks, more than ten yuan was gone.
"When can I get it?"
"One week at the earliest, come and pick up the photos on the weekend of next week."
The chef's happy teeth were also exposed. It was really either not opening, or opening for three months. At 12 yuan, the three-month target had been completed.
Uncle Niu sat on the bullock cart proudly. He also took a photo, and the master of the photo studio also lent him a green military cap, which looked very impressive when worn on his head.
"Huan Zai, where are you going now? Go home or take a trip to the county town."
"Uncle Niu, please take my mother and sister home. I have something to do with my wife and I."
Li Huan took the bicycle off the ox cart. He put it on it specially. He couldn't do anything private when he came to the county town.
Mother Li took a deep look at her son and reached out to take the child back. Cheng Qiao still shook her head. The look in Xu Laidi's eyes just now was so vicious that she was really worried.
Mother Li was also a mother. The child was only one month old. Cheng Qiao would definitely not be willing to give the child to anyone. She handed the diaper in her hand to Cheng Qiao and told her to change the child in time if it wets.
Watching the bullock cart leave, Cheng Qiao looked around and saw that there was no one around. The diaper in his hand disappeared instantly, and then he carried little Cheng Li to the supply and marketing cooperative:
"Cheng Qiao, please give me little Cheng Li, be a good boy. I haven't seen you for a week, but you look so good again. I miss this child so much."
Qiu Min saw Cheng Qiao walking into the supply and marketing cooperative, and saw the child in her hand. She didn't even care about the customer, and got out of the counter directly, reaching out to hug little Cheng Li.
Li Huan carefully handed the child to Qiu Min. Qiu Min looked at little Cheng Li's big round eyes and fell in love with her. She vowed in her heart to have a child as beautiful as little Cheng Li.
Cheng Qiao saw that Qiu Min's face was a little swollen, so she calmly put her fingers on Qiu Min's wrist. After a while, Cheng Qiao's face became a little ugly.
