Chapter 56 Hey, family conflicts are the most difficult to resolve
Zhou Shitang took the egg with a smile, and then handed over the medicinal herbs and wild onions, "Thank you, aunt, for reminding me. You have already taken this medicinal plant."

By the way, she told Aunt Fang how to handle the medicinal materials and how to store them for a longer period of time.

The more Aunt Fang listened, the more she admired Zhou Shitang, "Little girl, you really know a lot."

Zhou Shitang began to promote himself, "I know a lot of medicinal materials and can treat some minor illnesses and pains, so madam, you can come to me in the future. Because we know each other, my consultation fee can be cheaper."

Aunt Fang smiled and said, "Let's talk about it then."

Zhou Shitang paused and continued to inquire, "Auntie, are the two trees in front of your house lychee trees?"

Aunt Fang nodded, smiling so hard that her eyes narrowed, "In another month, the lychees will be mature."

The lychee tree bears fruit once a year, and she can make money by selling it again!

Zhou Shitang coughed: "Auntie, can I buy some lychees from you then? I really want to eat lychees too."

Aunt Fang quickly took a step to the side and said warily: "I don't want the medicinal materials, I want money. You can buy them from me."

Zhou Shitang: "..."

Money, they don't have it.

But she was not too sad. When they got sick, they would know how precious the medicinal materials were.

Zhou Shitang continued to inquire, "Auntie, do people here have lychee trees in their homes?"

She originally thought of a way to get some lychee branches to plant, but after thinking that it would take at least two or three years to bear fruit after planting, she gave up the idea.

This time is too long, and their family probably won’t stay here for long, so they won’t waste time and energy planting it.

If you want to eat lychees, try to buy some.

Anyway, Lingnan is rich in lychees, so you can always find a way to eat them.

Aunt Fang shook her head, "No, only my family and a few other families have them. Some people stay here for a year or two and then move to another place, so they don't plant lychee trees, and they can't eat them if they plant them."

"There are lychee trees growing wildly in the mountains and on the roadsides, but they don't bear much fruit, or even no fruit at all."

Zhou Shitang was curious, "As far as I know, the people living around here are basically prisoners. Everyone has no money. How do you make money, aunt?"

Aunt Fang glanced up and down at Zhou Shitang, "Little girl, you just want to ask me how to make money, right? Do you think I will tell you how to make money?"

"Although you look cute, I won't tell you. If I tell you, you won't make any money."

"Thank you, aunt, for telling me so much." Zhou Shitang did not continue to ask, smiled and waved to the other aunt, "Aunt, I'm leaving, goodbye."

She picked up the two barrels, turned around and left.

Aunt Fang looked at her back and almost dropped her jaw in shock.

Such a thin little girl can actually lift two buckets of water.

Zhou Shitang met Zhou Mingyi again on the way back. She smiled and shouted: "Brother, what a coincidence, you are here to fetch water too."

When Zhou Mingyi saw Zhou Shitang and saw her bright smile, he felt more and more sorry for her, and he didn't know how to face her.

His mother's thoughts about his second uncle's family made him feel guilty.

The second uncle and the others are obviously so good, why does the mother always have such thoughts about them?He couldn't understand.

Zhou Mingyi: "Yes, what a coincidence."

Zhou Shitang noticed the flash of guilt in Zhou Mingyi's eyes, and she knew the reason after thinking about it for a moment.

The eldest aunt must have whispered bad things about them and the eldest brother must have heard it.

Zhou Shitang raised his head, "Brother, we are all independent individuals. You are you and others are others. We cannot change other people's ideas, so we must stick to our own."

"You also shouldn't take some things on yourself, and don't think about things so complicatedly."

Hey, family conflicts are the most difficult to resolve.

Zhou Mingyi understood the implication of Zhou Shitang's words and pursed his lips, "Tangtang, you are still young. In the future, you will understand that some things are not as simple as they seem."

The better his second uncle's family treats him, the more guilty he feels.

That is the mother who gave birth to him and raised him, and he cannot be let go.

Zhou Shitang sighed and changed the subject, "By the way, I forgot to tell you just now. I found out that there is a market in Xinrenkou on the last day of every month. You can exchange things or buy them with money. When you get there, Go see if there’s anything you want.”

Zhou Mingyi nodded, "I understand."

"I know you like lychees the most. I heard someone say this morning that lychees are almost ripe. I will try to get some for you then."

Zhou Shitang smiled: "Big brother is the best."

She took out two eggs from her pocket and handed them to Zhou Mingyi, "Brother, these are the eggs I just cheated an aunt in exchange for. You take them back and cook one for grandma, and you two share the other."

Zhou Mingyi lowered his head and saw the two white eggs in Zhou Shitang's hand, and his eyes suddenly became moist.

He only took one egg, "I will ask my mother to steam this egg for my grandmother to eat, and we will not eat it. You also managed to get some eggs with great difficulty, so don't give everything to others."

Zhou Shitang puffed up his mouth and said, "You are not someone else. You should learn your craft well and make a lot of backpacks for me in the future. We have to build two mud houses there, and I will need your help then."

"Take it, or I'll get angry." Zhou Shitang approached Zhou Mingyi, bent down, and gently placed the two eggs in his wooden bucket.

Then she picked up two buckets of water and ran away, "Brother, please tell Uncle Zeng that your second brother will not go to learn the craft tomorrow."

Zhou Mingyi looked at her flying figure, dumbfounded and replied loudly, "Don't worry, I will tell Master Zeng tomorrow. Run slower and don't fall."

He picked up the two eggs in the barrel and carefully put them in his arms. He walked slowly, for fear of breaking the eggs if he hit them.

Zhou Mingyi fetched a bucket of water and returned home. He poured the water into the water tank, took out the two eggs and put them aside. "Mom, these are the two eggs Tangtang gave me. You can cook one for grandma every day."

When Mrs. Li saw the two eggs, her eyes lit up and her tone became cheerful, "Eggs, we haven't had eggs for a long time."

Zhou Mingyi reminded, "This is for grandma. Grandma needs to take a good supplement. We are still young, so it will be okay if we don't eat it."

Mrs. Li frowned, "This stingy little girl only thinks about her grandmother. Does she still have an aunt like me in her eyes? You still think about her all the time. She actually only gives eggs to your grandmother and not to us."

"Mom, can you please stop thinking like this." Zhou Mingyi lowered his face, "Tangtang means to give one to grandma and share the other one with us. It's my decision. I want to give all these eggs to grandma." , don’t think of her like that.”
