"Mom, aren't you afraid that the Wu family will go to find Dad?" Zhu Qing asked.
"No, they don't dare. This time your father is working for the Du family, the richest man in town. No matter how fierce the Wu family is, they don't dare to offend the Du family," said Wang.
"I asked your sister-in-law Guihua to bring a message to her brother and not tell him about the family affairs. I just want him to finish the work with peace of mind."
I see.
It's just that Zhuqing is a little confused about Wang's brain circuit. It seems that she is timid and afraid of getting into trouble. But when something really happens, she is not so nervous. Her first reaction is not to affect her husband's earning money!
After earning money, he planned to settle the matter and repay the blackmail.
Hey, what kind of cheap girl is she?
"Mom, what if my father's money is stolen by the Wu family on his way back?" Zhu Qing raised another possibility.
Wang's face turned pale, and then she shook her head: "Your father and others have many people working. The Wu family should not dare to offend them."
But when she said this, she seemed unsure of herself.
The Wu family has a bad record in this area and seems to have done all kinds of bad things.
Even if Sun Fucheng comes back with his fellow workers, there will always be times when he is alone. If he is alone and caught by them, he will definitely not get any good results.
"Qingya, let's talk about it, we still need to report to your father? Otherwise your father will not be prepared. If there is really something wrong, that won't work!" The more Wang thought about it, the more she became afraid.
Zhuqing nodded: "Yes, we'd better talk to him. At that time, we can also find a solution together. After all, we have already paid back the money!"
"Hey, we paid back the money, but they didn't recognize it! How can there be such unreasonable people in this world!" Ms. Wang couldn't help but sigh.
Wang's worries completely dissipated Zhuqing's joy at finding her first pot of gold today.
It made her feel that the tortillas and porridge in her mouth had no taste, even though they were not delicious in the first place.
"Mom, sister, I'm sleepy and want to sleep." Zhushan, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke.
Hearing this, Mrs. Wang quickly put down her work and went over to greet him: "Okay, let me wash your face and go to bed! It is indeed too late for you to go to bed today. If you hadn't been waiting for your sister, you would have fallen asleep long ago.
.”
Then he urged Zhuqing: "Qingya, have you finished eating? Wash the dishes and chopsticks after eating, and go to bed quickly! We have burned the oil lamp for so long today, and we have used a lot of oil.
!”
"Okay, okay." Zhuqing stood up and washed the dishes quickly, then grabbed some hot water and wiped it with her, then fell asleep casually.
Perhaps she was very tired during the day, so Zhuqing fell asleep quickly while lying on the wooden bed, without even having a dream.
When she woke up the next day, it was already bright.
As soon as she went out, she saw Wang already busy in the field in front of the door.
"Mom, what are you doing?" Zhuqing asked her while whispering.
"It's been too dry today, and all the vegetables in the field have dried up. I'll water it as soon as possible." Wang's voice came from the field.
Zhuqing thought of the mint seedlings planted a few days ago and walked over to check them out.
I found that the few mint seedlings were growing well despite the morning dew.
"Mom, these mint seedlings are alive." Zhu Qing felt happy from the bottom of her heart.
"Well, things in the wild are easy to feed." Mrs. Wang picked up a load from the field and walked out.
"Hey, one load of water is not enough. I have to pick another load back. Qingya, make a fire and cook some pumpkin porridge. The pumpkins are in the field to the south. Pick the tender ones. They are so tender.
The porridge cooked with pumpkin is also delicious. Remember, use less rice, we don’t have much rice at home.” Wang has always adhered to the principle of saving to the end.
"Hey, I understand." Zhu Qing nodded.
At this time, the only things that can be eaten are potatoes, pumpkins, corn and the like.
The potatoes are from last year, but the pumpkins are fresh this year. The tender pumpkins are steamed, sweet and waxy, and taste good.
Zhuqing couldn't help but think that in modern times, it was popular for city people to eat whole grains. Steamed pumpkin had even become a dish in hotels. At this moment, he thought he was experiencing an ecological farmhouse.
"Qingya, morning! Are you going to Dr. Qian's house today?" The person who asked was a dark-skinned, short and fat middle-aged woman.
"Go ahead, Aunt Huaihua." Zhu Qing answered her while picking pumpkins.
"Qingya, can you help me ask Doctor Qian, what's going on with my third son always refusing to eat well? Isn't he sick? Is there any symptomatic medicine?" asked Aunt Huaihua.
When asked, there are a lot of questions.
Zhuqing secretly shook his head after hearing this. Aunt Sophora japonica and Sister-in-law Osmanthus fragrans are really two extremes.
Sister-in-law Osmanthus always reciprocates with courtesy and never takes advantage.
Aunt Huaihua either takes advantage or suffers a loss.
No, I heard that Zhu Qing came to Dr. Qian's house to help, so I naturally came to ask Zhu Qing for help.
But she didn't think about it, why did Zhuqing, a little girl who went to help others, ask the doctor about the neighbor's children? And why did Zhuqing want to help her?
"Aunt Huaihua, I may not be able to meet Doctor Qian. Doctor Qian is very busy every day." Zhu Qing did not refuse directly, but said tactfully.
"Ah, you kid, you haven't come across me when you work at his house? Do you always meet me? Just ask me a few questions, it doesn't cost anything!" Aunt Huaihua didn't accept Zhu Qing's suggestion.
He refused and didn't take what Zhu Qing said to heart at all.
"You said that my little baby hasn't gained a pound since last month. Didn't you ask your family to borrow some flour last time? If it weren't for that flour, my little baby still wouldn't have an appetite! That's right!
Okay, your tender pumpkin looks good, why don’t you give me one too? I’ll go back and fry it for Xiaobao to eat as a dish, it’s delicious.”
Zhuqing was really speechless when he heard this. Then he had an idea: "Aunt Huaihua, do you have that flour at home? My brother has gotten better recently and has an appetite. He also wants to eat gnocchi. The flour at home is just right.
It’s over, if you have some at home, shall I go to your home to get some?”
"Where did my family get the flour? It's not like you were lucky enough to be able to help the noble man. By the way, I'll pick one of these pumpkins and take it home! Xiaobao is still waiting for me to go back and cook for him. I'm going, let's go
Come on!" Aunt Huaihua almost ran away when she heard Zhuqing ask her for flour.
However, before she left, she still reached out and picked a tender pumpkin in Zhuqing's pumpkin patch. Then she held it in her arms and walked quickly home, for fear that Zhuqing would follow her back.
This Aunt Sophora japonica! Zhuqing couldn't help but shake his head. But this trick was quite useful against her.
