Mind reading, taking the rental house through the whole village crying

Chapter 542: The Needle

Just as the three people from the Sun family were leaving, a mother and daughter were walking from the fields of Zhoujia Village. When the woman saw the backs of the three people, she froze in place.

The little girl looked up and asked her mother: "Mom, what are you looking at?"

"It's nothing. I guess my mother is seeing things." Liu Xiang'er thought she was seeing things. Her daughter-in-law had run away with a strange man a long time ago, so how could she suddenly appear in Zhoujia Village?

"Mom, I'm hungry. I want to eat egg custard for lunch." Jiaojiao shook Liu Xianger's clothes and acted coquettishly.

"Okay, Jiaojiao, if you want to eat, mom will make it for you. Let's go, go home quickly, your dad should be back soon." Liu Xiang'er retracted her gaze and stopped looking. She held her daughter's hand and walked home.

Over the years since she married Zhou Changgu, the couple and their daughter have lived a colorful life.

Zhou Changgu was hardworking and took care of several acres of land by himself. Liu Xianger also took good care of the family. From time to time, she went to the mountains with the women in the village to pick mushrooms, and used the money from selling them after drying to supplement the family income.

The Zhou family raised chickens, and the eggs they laid could be sold for a lot of money a year. When Zhou Changgu came back from the fields, he would also weave bamboo baskets and save the eggs to sell, so the family of three never had to worry about food and drink on a daily basis.

Six-year-old Zhou Jiaojiao is chubby and always has a smile on her face.

Is a happy child.

"Jiaojiao, go to the backyard and see if the chickens have laid eggs. If they have, pick up two and I'll make you some egg custard. If they haven't, I'll get some from the cupboard."

After returning home and helping her daughter wash her hands, Liu Xianger patted her butt and asked her to go to the backyard to pick up eggs.

The chicken didn't lay any eggs this morning, but I guess it should lay eggs at noon.

"I know, Mom." Jiaojiao jumped and ran to the backyard, and her two pigtails moved up and down.

"Mom, the hens laid eggs. There are three eggs in total. Shall we pick them all up?" Jiaojiao's voice came from the chicken coop in the backyard.

Liu Xianger raised her voice and replied: "Pick them all up——"

"Okay, mother—"

The humming sound was prolonged by the wind, making it even more adorable.

Liu Xianger curled the corners of her mouth and squatted on the ground washing wild vegetables.

At noon, I just cook some rice, stir-fry some wild vegetables with lard, and steam some egg custard for my daughter.

"Mom, look, three eggs." After washing the wild vegetables, Zhou Jiaojiao also came back from the backyard.

She pinched the hem of her skirt with both hands. Liu Xianger looked down and saw three eggs inside.

"Okay, Jiaojiao, go and play. Mom will go to cook." Liu Xiang'er took out the eggs, put one in the cupboard, and beat the other two in a bowl.

"No, Jiaojiao wants to help mother." Zhou Jiaojiao sat beside the stove, grabbed a piece of firewood with her little hand and stuffed it in.

The flame in the stove suddenly grew bigger.

"Be careful, don't hurt yourself." Although Liu Xiang'er spoiled her daughter, she didn't raise her to be incapable of doing anything.

Six-year-old Zhou Jiaojiao can already cook, wash vegetables and pick mushrooms.

The mother and daughter were busy in the small kitchen.

Zhou Changgu was sweating profusely in the field.

Every time he swung the hoe, his frown relaxed a little.

"Huh, I can go home after finishing these. I don't know what my wife did today." He said to himself.

"Hase, why aren't you leaving yet? Go back and eat." A man passing by shouted at him.

"It will be done soon, Brother Datian, you can go back first." Zhou Changgu responded with a silly smile.

"You kid, since you got married and had a baby a few years ago, you have been so hardworking. Okay, I won't wait for you. I'll go first." The man joked.

"Yeah, okay." Zhou Changgu responded and continued swinging the hoe.

After finishing the work in the fields, there was no one else left except him.

When he got home, the aroma of food filled his nose.

Zhou Changgu sniffed hard and his stomach growled with hunger.

"Are you back? Go wash your hands and come to eat quickly. If you come back later, Jiaojiao will call you."

Liu Xianger came out of the kitchen carrying a rice bowl.

Just then I saw him standing at the door, so I hurried over.

"Okay, I'll go right away. Fortunately I'm back. I wouldn't dare tire Jiaojiao out to call me."

Zhou Changgu put the hoe in the utility room, went to the tub to wash his hands, and wiped his face with a linen cloth. The weather was still cold and the water was bone-chillingly cold, and the heat on Zhou Changgu's body disappeared instantly.

"Look at you, you idiot. How can you wash your face like this? Be careful not to catch a cold. If anything happens to you, what will we do?" Liu Xiang'er was so angry when she saw him washing his face with cold water.

"Hehe, I'm very hot, but it's okay. I'm strong, you know that." Zhou Changgu raised his eyebrows and threw a coquettish glance at Liu Xianger.

"It's broad daylight, and you're not embarrassed at all. Come on, go into the main room and eat." Liu Xiang'er glared at him.

But then, suddenly remembering something, she said, "I seemed to have seen my daughter-in-law just now. I don't know if it was my eyes that saw it wrong, but I was always very nervous."

Liu Xianger covered her chest with her hands, her brows furrowed.

"What? Are you talking about Xiao Tao? Is she back? This little whore, she ran away, why is she back? I tell you, we dare not let her go back. Divorce her as soon as she comes back."

Zhou Changgu became serious.

The smile on his lips disappeared.

"That's right. No, I have to go back to Jiangjia Village tomorrow and tell my son. No matter if it's Xiaotao or not, I have to tell my son and ask him what he means. I can't keep this kind of person even if I come back." Liu Xianger patted her thigh and said.

"Okay, I'll go back with you. The work in the field is almost done. I'll go again in the afternoon. Jiaojiao has been saying that she wants to play with Kang'er and Ning'er recently. Let's go early tomorrow morning and come back after dinner. By the way, take the bowl of eggs in the cupboard. These brother and sister are having a hard time, so we have to help them out."

Zhou Changgu’s words touched Liu Xianger’s heart.

Seeing how good he is to his two children.

Liu Xianger was deeply moved.

There were tears in my eyes.

"Silly boy, we are a family, your child is my child. Let's go, don't let Jiaojiao wait too long. I would be heartbroken if she cries because of hunger." Zhou Changgu wiped the tears from her eyes, took her hand and walked to the main room.

The aroma of rice wafts out from every house.

Jiang Fubao from the town was also having lunch.

For lunch, we had two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, plus a yam and tofu soup made by my second sister.

The portion was not much, and Jiang Fubao was just full after finishing it.

"Shi Tou, after dinner go to the jewelry store and get something for me." After drinking the stomach-clearing tea, Jiang Fubao said to Shi Tou who was eating next to him.

"Well, okay, what would you like to take, miss?" Shi Tou swallowed the food in his mouth and asked her.

"I'm looking for a needle specially made by a jewelry store." Jiang Fubao put down the cup, picked up the brush and drew a picture on the paper.

"Miss, what is a needle?" Pan Erya stared with confused eyes.

"You can think of it as the largest, longest, and thickest silver needle."

Jiang Fubao was afraid that she didn't understand, so he simply opened the bag of silver needles and took out the longest one to give her as a reference.
