Chapter 44 No light at all

  “The first thing I do when I wake up every morning is to brush my teeth, wash my face and hands, and clean myself up.”

   "Hee hee, yes, mother."

   "There is green salt on the window sill. Use your fingers to dip the green salt, apply it on your teeth, rub it back and forth several times, and then rinse your mouth. Remember not to swallow the salt water into your stomach."

   "Yes, mother."

   Together with her two sons, she washed herself clean, and then took them for a few laps in the yard.

  When she punches, let them watch from the sidelines, and then they can learn to punch by themselves.

  After three sets of punches, she was already sweating profusely, and she washed her face again before starting to light the fire.

   "Mom, I can light a fire, I'll come, what do you think we'll cook?"

  I don’t even have a steamed bun at home, so I thought about it, “Let’s make pimple soup, there is no dry food at home, mother will go out and buy some today.”

   "Mother, we know how to steam steamed buns, do you have old yeast at home?"

   "How old are you to know this?"

   "My mother is steaming the steamed buns, and we will help each other. We have been watching since we were young."

   "I'll borrow a piece of yeast from the neighbor next door, you guys try to steam it again, let's make do with it this morning."

  Heat the pot, dig out a spoonful of lard, choke the pot with green onion, **** and garlic, add half a pot of water, and crack six eggs in it.

   Just took out half a bowl of noodles, and pimples were mixed, "Which of you brothers is the boss?"

   "I, Qiao Fengyun"

   "Well, Yun'er, you are my eldest son, Feng'er, and my second son."

   "Mother!"

   "My mother will raise you well in the future. You have to listen to what your mother says. If you feel that what your mother said is wrong, you can bring it up. You don't have to always act like you are listening to orders."

   "Yes, mother!"

  Qiao Mai smiled, saw that the pot was boiling, sprinkled the gnocchi into the pot, stirred it lightly, added half a teaspoon of salt, and finally chopped a handful of green onion leaves.

  When the pimple soup was almost ready, I threw it in, "Turn off the heat, it's perfect"

  The two brothers were very diligent. Knowing that the soup was ready, they immediately set up a table in the yard, put bowls and chopsticks.

  By the time Qiao Mai served the soup on the table, even the benches were put down.

   "Mother, you have worked hard!"

"Well, my mother is going to cook today's products in a while. You can wash the pots and dishes, and clean the yard. You don't need to do anything else. You are not allowed to go to the well, let alone go to the well to fetch water. My mother saved you. I don't want to What happened to you again?"

   "Yes, mother"

  Six eggs, two for each person, the two brothers ate very satisfied, seeing that they integrated here quickly, they didn't give any special instructions.

  Mr. turned on the charcoal stove and started cooking corn, peanuts, and quail eggs.

  It’s not cold yet, so you don’t need to bring a charcoal stove, just take a big pot and put it on the table to sell it.

   She has never used a scale until now. Eggs are sold by the egg, peanuts are sold by the bag, and a square piece of oil paper costs five cents a bag.

  Corn is sold by ears, melons are sold by individual pieces, strawberries are sold by boxes, and watermelons are sold by individual pieces. If she can save effort, she never bothers.

   An hour later, all the goods to be sold were ready. She left some of everything, put them in a basin, and brought them to the table in the yard.

"After mother left, you two closed the gate of the courtyard. If it wasn't mother, no one would open it. Mother left some food for both of you at this table. If you are hungry, eat first. Mother will come back to see you at noon. By the way, buy some dry food and come back."

   "Okay, mother."

   "This answer is not bad."

  Qiao Mai moved the goods onto the cart and pushed away. Fengyun and Yunfeng watched her go away before plugging in the yard.

  Come back and sit at the table, the two of them watched the food at the table, and their eyes watered down again.

   "This woman is so kind to us."

   "Then let's treat her sincerely and be filial to her in the future."

"Of course, we met a good person. Brother, look, the table is full of goods she wants to sell. We walked around the town a few times. The things on her stall are expensive, but she does it like this. Putting it here for us to eat, it seems that they really treat us as their sons."

   "Brother, remember, she saved our lives, no matter good or bad, we have to pay back, understand?"

   "Understood, we will be her sons from now on, and we will treat her well and be filial to her for the rest of our lives."

   "Well, you can eat whatever you like, don't finish eating and save yourself, this thing is too expensive."

  Of course, Qiao Mai didn't know what the two brothers said. After leaving the stall, many people asked her about what happened yesterday.

  She smiled and said, "The two children are starving to death. Looking at them, it's like seeing me in the past. I don't feel good about my conscience if I don't save them."

   "Your heart is so kind!"

   Qiao Mai just grinned when he heard the praise. Many people felt very ashamed when they heard it. What a little woman can do, but they saw it and ignored it, regardless of their lives. Really, alas!

  Qiao Maike doesn't care what others think, anyway, from this day on, more people come to her stall to beg for food.

  As for her, she is also given by others. The old, weak, sick and disabled can buy a steamed bun with a copper coin. The town is so big, and there are only a few beggars. She knows almost all of them.

  So Mrs. Qiao became a great benevolent person in the town, and word spread that she always helped the poor.

  When the Tian family heard the news, they gritted their teeth angrily, especially the old couple.

   "I didn't expect her to be so lucky. Not to mention the booming business, she became a well-known good person in the town?"

   "That's right, a scumbag that wasn't as good as a pig in our family back then, turned into a person who is famous for eight hundred miles, and it made our family stink."

   "Now that she has money, our family can't get any money."

   "It would be great if the third son was here."

   "I regret giving her a wife's letter, mother, I am so angry,"

   Not to mention the Tian family, Qiao Shicheng was so angry that he almost vomited blood when he heard it. He gritted his teeth and said harshly.

"This white-eyed wolf would rather raise two beggars than help her mother's family, and would rather give money to beggars than to our family. She really raised her for nothing. This money-loser, bastard, I am so mad at you, no way." , I'm going to find her now."

   "The child's father, we are, but."

"are you going?"

   "If you want to go, I will go with you."

   "Call them together, I'll let everyone comment today, and see how this girl is still sophistrying?"

  In order to find Qiao Mai as soon as possible to vent their anger, they were willing to spend money to take the village ox cart.

  When the driver heard that they were going to Tianshui Town to find Qiao Mai to make trouble, he immediately shook his head.

   "Brother, I advise you not to go."

   "Why?"

   "Break the relationship, just break the relationship, and you won't be a family in the future. What she wants to do is her business, and it has nothing to do with you. It's unreasonable for you to make trouble like this."

   "Ah bah, even if she turns into ashes, she is also my daughter."

   "That's what it says, but it's not like this in the law. It doesn't matter if you break off a relationship. If you go to make trouble, the mayor will judge you unreasonable when he comes."

   "I don't believe it, I want to talk to her personally."

   "Hey, go if you want to go, don't give up if you don't go, will you still take the car when you come back?"

   "Wait for a while, maybe I will sit down."

  The driver pulled them to their destination, and the Qiao family got out of the car, so he hurriedly drove the ox cart not far away to watch.

  Seeing them, Qiao Mai immediately stood up and put the embroidery into the basket.

   "What are you doing here?"

   Qiao Shicheng stepped forward to slap Qiao Mai, but was blocked by Qiao Mai with one hand.

  She bent down and picked up the stick under the table, and looked at Qiao Shicheng's family with a cold face.

   "Whoever is free, invite the mayor and the old man to come, and choose anything from my booth as a thank you."

   "I'll go, I'll go."

  Qiao Shicheng looked at Qiao Mai, who was full of oil and salt, and pointed at her with trembling hands, "You, you,"

   Shopkeeper Lu glanced outside inadvertently, and it was serious, so he quickly put down what he was doing and rushed over.

  She blocked Qiao Mai from behind, "You family is really shameless. You have already taken money, written a letter of divorce, and you are still making trouble. You are really shameless."
