C97
Liu Shufang took a look inside the room and found that the house looked a little different. The air still smelled of lime and the walls were clean, except that the mat was too worn out and needed a change.
"Hai Tao, is there any smoke pipe in this kang hole?"
"Not yet!" "I'm going to come over this afternoon to clean up. It won't be hard to clean it up, one afternoon is enough. Shufang, why does it sound like you want to stay here for a long time?"
Ning Haitao first answered his wife's question and then raised his own question. His wife lived in the city and was taken care of by the woman in the house.
"I don't want to, but I want Big Brother and Harland to come and stay with us."
It was not safe for her to do business alone in the county, so it would be much easier for her brother and Harland to take care of each other.
"Your big brother? Can you come over? "
Ning Haitao felt that this was a good idea, but when he thought of Liu Jianguo's stubbornness, he felt that it was difficult.
"Let's give it a try!" In the afternoon when I went down to pick the grass, you should come here and help me with the pipe. Tomorrow, we'll go back and have a look, and then tell Big Brother and Harland that I'm scared by myself, and ask them to come over and help.
Liu Shufang did not have much confidence, so she could only do her best and leave it to fate.
The two of them locked the courtyard door, only to see Wu Ya crying on the ground. His body was covered in dirt, making him look very pitiful.
"Sh * t!" "Wu Ya, let Mother Qian hug you."
Liu Shufang liked this little Wuya from the bottom of her heart. When she saw her crying, she quickly picked her up, brushed off the dirt on her body, and took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears.
"Sister Four .." Steal Me... Hungry.
Little Wu Ya couldn't even speak properly, but Liu Shufang understood what he meant. She turned around and saw Fourth Sister eating a piece of dry rice cake with a smug look on her face.
Liu Shufang shook her head. Having too many children was a problem. Three, four, and so on were really annoying.
"Wuya, don't cry. Mother has some cake. Let's go and eat at her house."
Liu Shufang didn't dare to give her child outside, afraid that the annoying Little Four would come and snatch it away.
Ning Haitao didn't say anything. He turned around and opened the door that he had just locked. Liu Shufang found a basin and washed Wuya's hands and face clean. This girl was very pretty, with big, watery eyes that could attract tender affection.
"Eat!"
He gave Wu Ya a piece of cake that he had bought for his mother-in-law. At this time, the cake was still good and the child had never eaten it before.
"Sweet, Dry Mother."
The little girl bit down on it, not forgetting to feed it to the empress. She was cute and well-behaved.
"Wu Yazi, I'm not hungry."
Liu Shufang pinched her cheeks lovingly, just that she was thinner and a little fatter, which made her even more attractive.
"Shufang, let's have one in the future."
Ning Haitao also liked Wuya very much. He was in love with Wuya and thought of him and Shufang's child. Could they also be so cute?
"Great!" However, it will take two years. The family will be poor, have children, bound hands and feet, and won't be good for officers. Furthermore, the children will be punished along with them. "
Liu Shufang agreed with a smile, but she had her own thoughts.
"When I pay my debt, my allowance will be enough to support you."
Ning Haitao's expression darkened. It was indeed not the right time to have a child, as family was poor and hard to bear, and external debt was more severe.
"Alright, since we're not that old anyway, our days are over and Mother's legs have been treated. It won't be too late even if it's not too late."
Liu Shufang smiled as she comforted Ning Haitao. The cake will be served and everything will be fine.
When Wu Yazi was done eating, they took the baby next door and gave it to Big Ya before hurrying home.
After wasting some time, they saw that it was already noon. The couple hurriedly rushed home.
"This is for you, the persimmon I bought at the market."
Liu Shufang took out a persimmon from the basket and handed it to Ning Haitao. His face was covered in sweat and he even swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He was obviously thirsty.
"Persimmon? "Sigh, it's my fault. I planted the seeds in the yard earlier. Now, there are already persimmon seeds to eat."
He took the persimmon and sighed. When he saw Shufang give him the persimmon, he did not want to eat it and handed it over to his wife.
"Eat!" I'm not thirsty. "
Liu Shufang looked at him emotionally. As long as this man had something good, he would definitely think of her.
"There's more in the basket, you eat! I've eaten. "
Liu Shufang handed it back to him. This persimmon didn't have any pesticides, so there was no need to wash it.
"Really?"
Ning Haitao took it but didn't eat it immediately. He looked at the basket on his back. There was indeed a persimmon, eggplant, and cucumber, it was complete.
"Oh, then I'll eat it. I'm dying of thirst."
This time, he only put it in his mouth. He felt something different after eating it. He had eaten something before as well, but it was a bit sour. This persimmon was sweet, and it tasted good.
"So sweet, where did you buy it?"
Ning Haitao ate all the persimmon in a few bites. He was still a bit unsatisfied, but he couldn't bear to take it again. There was still a lady and a little girl at home, so he left some for them.
"Only a farmer from the market came to sell them. He said that they grew them in his own yard, and when I saw them, I bought some of them."
Liu Shufang lied a little unnaturally, afraid that her husband would ask more, so she quickly found an excuse, "Hurry up and go back! Mother must be starving. "
When he said this, Ning Haitao wanted to ask more questions, but he was stopped.
When the two of them arrived at the village, they saw that everyone had lit up their cooking smoke. It was really too late for them to return.
There was also a benefit to this. There was no one under the big tree, so there was no need to be questioned endlessly.
When he returned home, he saw Hai Feng in the stove pit, her face covered in black ash.
"Hai Feng, Big Brother is here."
Ning Haitao rushed to work as soon as he entered the room. Liu Shufang glanced at the little girl and saw that there was no trace of displeasure on her face. However, she smiled and called her sister-in-law.
"Sister-in-law, you're back."
"Hmm, what do you want to cook?"
Liu Shufang realized that this person was very quick. He had made a 180 degree turn, and in just a few days, his appearance had completely changed.
"I can make muddled porridge."
Ning Hai Feng embarrassedly lowered her head. This morning, her sister-in-law gave her an egg, but she didn't keep a cold face. At noon, she wanted to show off and let them come back for a warm meal, but she didn't expect that it was too late.
"That's not bad, you must be hungry!" Eat a piece of cake first. "
Seeing that her sister-in-law was sensible, Liu Shufang did not care anymore. They were family, and as long as Hai Feng was willing to help, they could get along.
"Mother, please!" "It's too expensive, I won't eat any more."
A packet of cake would at least cost eighty cents. Ning Hai Feng swallowed her saliva. This time, she thought of her first time thinking of her rather than pouncing on something delicious.
"Eat!" Mother still has more. "
Liu Shufang smiled as she shoved it into her hands. This was called slapping a sweet date, first taking care of Hai Feng obediently, then giving her a sweet taste. In the future, she would be dead set on not looking for trouble with her.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Ning Hai Feng sweetly called out, wiping her hands on her pants and was about to pick up the cake.
"Wait."
Liu Shufang looked at her sternly. Hai Feng looked at her timidly, not knowing what she had done wrong.
