Chapter 10, Coming Back from the County
Holding a few pieces of cloth, Xiao Qing asked shopkeeper Li for a needle and thread. Thinking about something else, he asked, "Treasurer Li, you know someone well in the county, and you know whose donkey carts and ox carts run in Yaoshan Village. Seeing how I hug so much, it would be better to hire a car!"

Shopkeeper Li was very polite and showed her the way to hire a donkey cart.

Qiao Erjing and the Zhou family bought a lot of homes, and came to the alley before leaving with full arms, and saw that Xiao Qing had been waiting here for a long time.

The two of them were about to reach Mother's side, and saw that Mother had hired a donkey cart. No one would blame Mother for spending money. They only had six hands. How could they carry so many things without a donkey cart?

However, when Qiao Erjing put down the table and stool and saw the things on the donkey cart, he was immediately taken aback: "Mother, where did this rice flour oil come from? There are these cloths, and such a large piece of pork, mother." , Did you just go buy these?"

How much money should this cost? Have you used up all the personal money in your mother's pocket?

Xiao Qing naturally had a plan in her heart. There are more than 2 steps in the Xiaochao system mall, and there are still more than 6000 steps after removing the four buckets of rice noodles. She simply changed to three buckets of rice and three buckets of noodles. I exchanged a piece of foreleg meat, which was slaughtered, and it was so precious. It took her more than 6000 steps to talk about black pork, and another 6000 steps to exchange for half a can of lard. Lard is not easy to buy. So it was expensive in the shopping mall. She changed the last few steps for salt, and the salt was very cheap. It was only [-] steps after exchanging two paper bags. The cart, plus those few bolts of cloth, is half the cart.

"Mother's body money is here, enough for our family to eat for a few days!" Xiao Qing helped him put the iron tools he bought into the donkey cart, looked back at Mrs. Zhou, and helped her take the iron tools in her arms. Put the big pot on the donkey cart: "Mother hopes that you can eat better and wear better clothes. Maybe next year will be a bumper harvest year, and the rain will be smooth and the wind will be fine. Our days will be better in the future."

Ever since Xiao Qing confessed his feelings to them yesterday, Zhou has trusted his mother in his heart, and she believes everything her mother says, with so much meat, thinking of how happy Xiao Cheng is when she sees it, she feels happy.

It's just that Mrs. Zhou held the few pennies in her hand, worried that her mother would scold her for spending money, and she didn't even buy lard, so she flinched and handed the money to Xiao Qing: "Mother, I didn't buy lard..."

Seeing her lowering her head, Xiao Qing was afraid that scolding her would be useless and that she would be prodigal. She was separated from her by a few feet, she smiled and walked over to point to the pots and bowls, rice noodles, candles, and kitchen knives in the donkey cart: "So Why don’t you let the second classic help you with a lot of things, get on the donkey cart, it’s late to go back, and the children have to drink cold water at noon to stop their hunger.”

Mrs. Zhou let out a bewildered cry, and when she was dragged into the donkey cart by her mother, she saw her mother's face without a trace of anger, and she didn't want the few coins in her hand.

There was warmth in her eyes, mother is really determined to live a good life with them, their mother is so kind!

Qiao Erjing saw that her mother was not angry with her sister-in-law, but instead let her get into the donkey cart, and her opinion of her mother was also changing.

He took the initiative to return the rest of the money to his mother: "Mother, tables and stools are expensive, so I didn't buy a few, but I bought a file, a hammer, and a saw. Let's go home and learn how to do it myself. It's cheaper than selling it in the county." much cheaper."

Xiao Qing didn't blame him either, as the second classics will lead a life, these years without him at home, the whole family would have starved to death several times.

She pushed away the hand he handed over: "No, mother, you can keep it. When you have time, you bring Xiaolan and the children to the county, buy some snacks, and let the children satisfy their cravings. Don't look at other people's children all day long." It's so delicious!"

Those seem to have about a hundred coins, but not much, and some iron tools are very expensive, and there are only one hundred coins left, which shows that Qiao Erjing has worn out a lot with others.

Qiao Erjing seemed to be stuck in his throat, choked for a while, held back the tears in his eyes, nodded and said, "Mother, thank you, I understand."

Xiao Qing saw that the emotions in the eyes of the two were not right, and she would not persuade people who were full of emotions, so she urged: "Get on the donkey cart, this cart is very expensive, it costs fifteen yuan a trip, and our family will spend a trip today .”

Qiao Erjing and Mrs. Zhou didn't speak to each other. They got into the donkey cart and drove home after listening to their mother's words.

At noon, riding a donkey cart is much faster than walking, and we will arrive in half an hour.

Xiao Qing was very tired this time, she got off the donkey cart, called the children to help carry things, let Er Jing and Mrs Zhou look after the children, told Mrs Qin to burn the meat, and when the meat was stewed, Pour in a few bowls of rice and cook together, and cook a pork meal for the children. After talking, I went to lie down in the house.

She is so fat, and she has walked so much in the past two days, she will almost die if she doesn't rest for a while.

Qin responded, seeing a carload of food and clothing, thinking how much should it cost?

But what mother is doing, she listens to it, these are mother's personal money.

Xiao Qing lay down and rested until Mrs. Qin called for dinner before waking up.

The table and a few small stools bought by Erjing came in handy. In the middle of the yard, on a boxy table, there were nine bowls of pork rice. A whole yard of children, sons and wives were waiting for her to sit first. She left Go and sit down first.

She looked at the meat rice in front of her. There was a lot of meat and a lot of rice. She was hungry, very hungry!

She picked up the chopsticks, picked up the bowl, and pointed to the stools around the small table: "Sit down, all of you! Such a good white rice and pilaf, don't you feel hungry just by looking at it?"

Qiao Cheng licked his mouth, swallowed, looked at Xiao Qing with bright eyes, and asked in surprise: "Grandma, how many of us can sit and eat with you?"

Xiao Qing squinted at him: "Of course, you can sit down and eat, what are you doing standing up? There are plenty of rice and noodles, enough for you to eat, if not enough, grandma will buy you some more!"

Qiao Cheng looked at Zhou Shi again, Zhou Shi nodded and smiled: "Don't look at me, listen to grandma!"

Qiao Cheng sighed, and greeted Qiao Yuanyuan and Qiao Yang, and sister-in-law Qiao Yu sat down together, and each of them brought a bowl to eat.

Several children looked at the smooth black bowl, a bowl of thick white and tender rice, with large pieces of meat hidden in the rice grains, and the worms in their stomachs screamed after taking a sniff.

Qiao Cheng glanced at grandma: "Grandma, shall we eat?"

Xiao Qing smiled and urged: "Eat quickly!"

Qiao Cheng raised his eyebrows at Qiao Yang, and the two of them were ready to start, they lowered their heads and quickly stuffed the rice into their mouths.

Several children also followed the two elder brothers, carrying bowls of rice and delivering it to their mouths.

The three adults saw that they had all eaten, and with their mother's tacit consent, they also picked up their bowls and ate.

There was the sound of grilling rice and chewing meat in the yard, and the children almost choked because they ate too fast. Fortunately, Mrs. Qin had prepared water in advance, which prevented the children from choking.

Qiao Yuanyuan swallowed a mouthful of meat, and said with a smile: "Sanxing will say white bread is delicious next time, I will beat him up, obviously steamed rice with pork is the best!"
