Chapter 15 A bit too much

But anyway, the problem of Little Pumpkin sucking milk has been solved.

On the way home under the moonlight, Zhang Sijiu and Xu were both walking briskly.

But gradually, Mrs. Xu figured something out: "How can we be like God helping us this time?"

Zhang Sijiu was shocked and had no expression on his face: "Why did the second aunt say that?"

Mrs. Xu analyzed: "Look, our little pumpkin has no milk to eat. You happen to know such a soup. By chance, we try our luck and give it to Qiao Niang. Qiao Niang will have more milk. If there is too much milk, she will be blocked.

.This is a blockage. We helped her get rid of the blockage again, and she didn’t suffer. Now she doesn’t want to have a blockage, so she can’t leave our little pumpkin——"

Qiao Niang is the name of the Li family's daughter-in-law.

I have to say that Zhang Sijiu felt that he was a bit sinister after being analyzed like this by Mrs. Xu: It looked like he had planned it long ago! It was too much!

But Dr. Zhang swears to God, she really didn’t know she would have breast congestion.

Zhang Sijiu originally wanted to say a few words, but what she didn't expect was that before she could speak, Mrs. Xu had already finished her thoughts. She sighed and said with some emotion: "Go to your mother's grave tomorrow and give it to her."

Burn some paper and talk about it. She will feel relieved."

So Zhang Sijiu swallowed back the words silently and followed the good example: "Okay."

It's okay to have misunderstood.

After solving the problem of little pumpkin sucking milk, Zhang Sijiu has extra time to focus on other things.

For example, I researched the situation in the village and even quietly inquired about the interpersonal relationships with CMB.

Then I found out that the Zhang family is now very popular in the village.

There were some who sympathized, some who were gloating about the misfortune, and some who felt that Little Pumpkin had a tough life and had killed his parents, so they did not dare to interact with him anymore.

The most important thing is that many people are laughing at Xu behind her back, thinking that Xu is stupid.

Because Mrs. Xu didn’t give away the little pumpkin.

Someone from another village knew about their family's situation and came to see her, wanting to take Little Pumpkin back and raise her as a daughter. But Xu did not agree.

Zhaoyin lowered his voice: "They even said they would give me money. But your second aunt scolded me and said that your old Zhang family can't support a child."

Zhang Sijiu laughed, neatly picked up the bamboo shoot shells and threw them into the basket on his back: "My second aunt is a nice person."

"It's quite good." Zhaoyin nodded sincerely. But soon his attention went to Zhang Sijiu's back: "You are carrying a new backpack! It looks so good!"

When Zhang Sijiu went out this morning, he found this brand new small backpack next to the large backpack he was used to carrying. Judging from the size, it must have been prepared for her.

After asking Mrs. Xu, I found out that she asked her second uncle Zhang Xiaoshan to find someone to make it up. She was afraid that the heavy backpack would crush her and she would not grow taller by then.

Just this thoughtfulness and careful thinking about her made Zhang Sijiu feel that Mrs. Xu was really a very good person.

She explained with a smile: "My second uncle and second aunt helped me make it. They said that children should not carry too much weight, otherwise they will not grow taller."

Zhaoyin was filled with envy. She tugged on the rope on her back that was about to break, "It's so beautiful."

Zhang Sijiu knew that Zhao Yinniang was stingy, so he didn't ask her to go back and ask for it. He only said: "Let's think of a way and see if we can earn money to buy one ourselves."

Making money is something Zhang Sijiu has been thinking about these days.

The family has been devastated and is so poor that even some of the food grains have been sold. Now we basically eat vegetable porridge in the morning and evening. The food is so watery that we are always hungry.

As for the meat - when she makes soup for Qiao Niang, the daughter-in-law of the Li family, she tries her best to save a bowl every day, but she can only add some vegetables to cook it and taste the meat.

Life is too hard.

You have to find a way to make money.

Hearing Zhang Sijiu's words, Zhao Yin's eyes lit up at first, and then he became dejected: "We are too small to make any money. We can't catch fish, wild ducks, or even valuable herbs.

Everything has been poached."

Zhang Sijiu also felt a toothache after hearing this.

But she still affirmed: "There will definitely be a way."

"Okay, then think about it, if you have one, take me with you!" The child from Zhaoyin's emotions came and went quickly, and he soon became happy again: "It doesn't matter if I can't make money, anyway, the basket is ruining me.

Mom also has to buy new ones."

While picking up the bamboo shoot shells, Zhaoyin slowly told Zhang Sijiu what Zhang Sijiu had asked her before: "This piece of land here belongs to my family. It is divided from the mulberry tree and belongs to the Zhuzhu family. What belongs to your family is yours."

Do you know?"

Zhang Sijiu nodded: "I know."

What she really cares about is: "Is there anyone who is without a Lord?"

Zhaoyin shook his head: "Basically not. Along the big weir on the edge of the field ridge, there are bamboos and trees on both sides, but whose field ridge is next to it belongs to that family. It's just that few people care about it. It's too far away.

We can go. But we can’t break bamboo shoots or trees. It’s okay to pick up some dead branches and leaves.”

She pointed to another large bamboo forest: "Don't go to that one. If Aunt Zuo finds out that we are going there, she will block the door of her house and scold us!"

Zhang Sijiu has never seen such a battle before. Although he was a little surprised, he nodded: "I understand."

After the baskets were filled with bamboo shoot shells, Zhang Sijiu and Zhao Yin went home respectively, and made an appointment to go to the river to cut grass together the next day.

However, the two of them failed to go the next day because there was thunder and rain that night and it didn't stop the next morning.

Mrs. Xu asked Zhang Sijiu to take care of the baby at home, while she took the little pumpkin to the Li family to nurse, and they were not allowed to go out at all.

Xiaosong and Xiaobai usually play with the male dolls in the village, but never with Zhang Sijiu, so they really don't get along very well.

Fortunately for Zhang Sijiu, he is an adult after all, so there is no problem of whether he can sit still or not.

Xiaosong and Xiaobai were different. They couldn't sit still at all. After a while, they began to ask: "When will the rain stop?"

Zhang Sijiu simply asked them: "What do you usually play?"

Xiaosong rolled his eyes and said, "I didn't do anything. I just caught bugs for fun."

He deliberately bared his teeth and claws: "Such a ferocious beetle! There are also crabs! There are also fleshy insects! Are you afraid, eldest sister?"

Zhang Sijiu: ...The bugs I have seen are definitely much scarier than the bugs you have seen.

She asked Xiaosong: "That's all?"

Xiaobai opened his teeth and said angrily: "And play with water! Big brother plays with water and catches fish!"

Xiao Song covered Xiao Bai and refused to admit: "No! I was just playing with water on the edge of the ditch!"

The water in the ditch is at most as deep as the thighs of a small pine tree. Adults do not restrict themselves to places like this. However, children are never allowed to go to the deeper rivers or play in the weirs and ponds.

It's a pity that Komatsu's acting skills are not up to par.

Zhang Sijiu nodded firmly: "That's going to the river. Did you catch any fish?"

Xiaosong refused to admit: "I didn't."

"Are there many fish in the water? Are they big? Are there eels? Where are the loaches?" Zhang Sijiu continued to ask.

Xiaosong:..."Yes, not many."

Zhang Sijiu nodded: "Invite me to come with you next time."
