Chapter 52 An awkward family
"The hook."
Chu Nanzhi stretched out her hand to gesture to Xiao Erlang.
Xiao Erlang did not hesitate, and obediently stretched out his hand to seal with her hook.
This scene left Blacksmith Zhao stunned.
He really didn't expect that this wicked woman who was well-known in the village would help educate her son in a few words.
A few days ago, he heard Li Ce say that the temperament of this lady Chu from the Lin family had changed drastically. He didn't believe it at first.
Seeing it today, the rumors are true.
"It's amazing."
Tiejiang Zhao was so happy that he stuffed the egg into Chu Nanzhi's hand again, and said gratefully: "Miss Chu must accept this egg."
Chu Nanzhi was about to reject Zhao Tiejiang's kindness, the stall owner also came over with a basket of eggs, and said with an earnest smile:
"Miss Chu, you let Lin Erlang go to the prison, removed this scourge for the village, and upheld justice for us all. I haven't had time to thank you. You must accept this basket of eggs. You are not welcome."
"That's right, that **** has cheated me of money in my shop over the years, at least a few taels. Every time Mrs. Chen came out to intercede, or was framed by him instead, this time I really relieved my anger."
Speaking of this, Zhao Tiejiang looked very angry.
People from the same village, Lin Jinhong committed a crime and someone covered him up;
As for myself, it was just a child who got into a fight with other children in the village, and the whole family would be kicked out of the village.
It's really not fair.
Chu Nanzhi looked at the earnest eyes of Zhao Tiejiang and the stall owner, but insisted on returning the eggs:
"I appreciate the kindness of the two of you. They are all from the folks in the village. You don't have to be so polite. Everything I do is not all for you, but for myself."
Seeing that the number of people in the market gradually increased, she was also afraid of delaying their respective time, so she hurriedly said:
"Go to work, I also have to buy groceries earlier and go home to make breakfast for the children."
Seeing this, the two had no choice but to give up.
Chu Nanzhi gave the stall owner the money to buy eggs. The stall owner thought that her family did not have any land, so he took a few freshly picked corns and lotus roots and handed them to her:
"Miss Chu won't refuse this kindness. Buy a few catties of spare ribs and stew them back for Dalang and Xiaobao to nourish their bodies."
Miss Chu had no choice but to accept it with a smile.
Thanked the stall owner for his kindness, and led the three little treasures back.
Arriving in the yard, I saw Lin Jinxiao and Dabao Lin Ruiwen sitting on both sides of the stone table, both in a daze, not knowing what they were thinking.
Sanbao shook the rattle drum and hurriedly rushed to Lin Jinxiao, jumping up and down with joy:
"Father, we and A Niang just met Xiao Erlang at the entrance of the village."
How strange.
Lin Jinxiao didn't bother to talk to this rebellious little guy.
Erbao Lin Ruixi and Sibao Lin Ruijia also surrounded them one after another, and said with a smile: "Aniang helped us educate Xiao Erlang today, and Xiao Erlang will not dare to bully us anymore in the future."
"Um."
Lin Jinxiao pursed his lips and chuckled, and nodded slowly.
Although he was a little surprised, there was something even more surprising buried in his heart, and this little thing was no longer worth making a fuss about for him.
However, he is very pleased that this woman can fulfill her promise and treat the children well.
Chu Nanzhi looked at this guy and Dabao facing each other, as if they had lost the intimacy of the past, it was very strange, as if there was a conflict.
But after all, it was a matter between their father and son, so I didn't want to ask too much, so I pretended I didn't see anything and went to the kitchen to make breakfast on my own.
Delayed at the stall for a while, which disrupted her original plan, and it might be too late to roll out the dough, so she had to scour some rice to make porridge, and boiled a few eggs.
I took advantage of the porridge cooking time to make a few catties of noodles, washed the gluten, and thought about waiting until noon when the batter had settled before making noodles for the little ones.
After all, what is promised to the children has to be fulfilled.
When it was time to eat, the quadruplets looked at the porridge on the table and were a little disappointed, but their eyes lit up again when they saw the soft-boiled eggs.
In their eyes, eggs are more precious than chicken legs.
When there was a hen at home, the bad woman either sold the eggs for money or ate them secretly by herself, but the little treasures can still see what the eggs look like.
But they haven't seen eggs for a long time since the bad woman sold the last few chickens in the family.
Erbao Lin Ruixi peeled the egg first, and then held it in his hand longing for a long time but was reluctant to eat it.
Chu Nanzhi looked at the little guys holding the eggs as if they had acquired rare treasures. They cherished them so much that they dared not eat them, and said with some distress:
"I bought a lot of eggs today, eat quickly, and I will cook an egg for each of you every morning."
"Is what A Niang said true?"
"certainly."
When Sanbao heard it, he was immediately happy, and he peeled the eggs in his hand with confidence.
Chu Nanzhi also took an egg, peeled it, and handed it to Little Sibao. Sibao's eyebrows immediately became happy, and he took the egg and began to bite it.
Seeing that the bad woman only peeled eggs for Si Bao, Er Bao was a little upset, and brought back the egg that was about to be fed to his mouth.
Holding the slippery egg, she walked slowly step by step to Chu Nanzhi, with a sly smile on her little face:
"Aniang, you eat eggs."
Chu Nanzhi looked suspiciously at Er Bao who was so attentive all of a sudden, pointed at the egg she had peeled, and smiled lightly: "Aniang peels it by herself, this Er Bao eats."
Er Bao pouted and shook his head unhappily.
Chu Nanzhi didn't know what the little guy was going to do, so he took the egg and obediently took a bite.
Before the chewed egg could be swallowed, Erbao took another unpeeled egg from the table, approached her smilingly and begged:
"Aniang, help Erbao peel the eggs."
The voice is sweet, and the eyes are full of longing, which is completely irresistible.
Hearing this, Chu Nanzhi almost choked the egg out of her mouth.
It turned out that the little guy was jealous again.
She wolfed it down quickly, put the remaining half of the egg back into the bowl, and went to peel the egg for Erbao.
Waiting for the moment when Chu Nanzhi handed the peeled egg to her hand, this eccentric little treasure bounced back holding the egg in relief.
"It seems that I have to be more careful in the future."
Chu Nanzhi said silently.
Just now peeling eggs for Sibao was an unintentional act, but it aroused Erbao's jealousy.
Think about these days again, because Sibao is closer to her, so the love for Sibao is naturally a little more partial.
There are too many children in the family, this is not good, if you are not careful, you will ignore the feelings of one of the little treasures.
Evenly dipping rain and dew is really a technical job.
And Lin Jinxiao saw all of this.
It is understandable to say that this woman prefers the Four Treasures, the Four Treasures are the smallest, the most obedient, and the most pitiful among them, and now he is really happy to see that someone loves this little guy.
But he didn't want to see the four little treasures having a quarrel because of this kind of thing.
Looking at Dabao in thought, the eggs in the hands of the other three little guys were almost finished, but Dabao was still holding the egg tightly and buried his head in a sullen mood.
Since waking up in the morning until now, this little devil has not said a word to himself.
"Could it be that he was angry for not letting him sleep with the three little treasures last night?"
Thinking about this, Lin Jinxiao stretched out his hand to grab the egg in Dabao's hand: "Come on, Dabao, Dad will peel it for you."
Dabao saw the hand stretched out, and immediately hid the egg vigilantly to the other side, and pushed back dissatisfiedly:
"No, I don't want Dad to peel it off, I want to peel it off myself."
