Chapter 156, New Year's Day Holiday
"Okay, okay, I'm going to find a bag for you, brother." Sanmei Qiao was not unhappy when she heard that my brother was going to distribute it to other uncles' families, and she ran to find a bag to put things in.The little girl was thinking in her heart, after the equalization is over, the rest is theirs?
Only Qiao Xiaohui asked her brother worriedly, "Brother, why did you buy so many things back?"
"I didn't buy it. Zhou Xing bought it for you. You should thank you brother Zhou." Qiao Minglang glanced at Zhou Xing who was standing beside him, thinking about how to divide these things in his heart.
"Thank you, Brother Zhou."
Hearing what their brother said, the two siblings ran to thank the brother who brought them so many things.Zhou Xing smiled and said that you are welcome, and asked the children, "What do you like, I will bring it for you next time."
Third Sister Qiao waved her hands hurriedly, "No, no, there's enough here." As she said that, she glanced at her brother, but she didn't dare to ask others to bring them something.
"Don't spoil them, you don't need to bring anything from now on." Qiao Minglang said.
Does this mean that he has a next time?Zhou Xing was very happy when he heard the young man's words, and the smile on his face was a little brighter.
Seeing the bright smile on Zhou Xing's face, Qiao Minglang realized what he had just said.
hey, forget it...
The words have already been spoken, and it is too late to take them back.
They divided the things in several big boxes into several parts, except for the one left for Wubo's family, a separate one for grandparents, and the other two uncles. My aunt also sent a copy.
As for the sister-in-law in the town, since the last time the sister-in-law came to their house to make trouble, no one had much contact with them.Later, Qiao Minglang also heard about the behavior of that aunt and uncle from his cousin, and he felt that it would be better to have less contact with such relatives.
After each of the children ate a piece of candy, they all became close to the big brother who brought them so many candies.
Even Qiao Xiaobao, who has a little temper recently, is willing to give this big brother a hug.
"Your brother is very funny, why don't we take him to the city?" Zhou Xing held the child in his arms. He is not a person who likes children too much, but for the younger brothers and sisters of Qiao Minglang's family, He can be regarded as a love house and a bird.
"Don't tease him." Qiao Minglang glanced at this person. It's not that he doesn't want to take his younger brothers and sisters outside, he must have the ability to do it.Seeing Zhou Xing pinching the child's face, he had no choice but to warn: "Don't make him cry."
"We're doing well, I won't make our little treasure cry. What do you think, little treasure? Do you like brother Zhou the most?" Zhou Xing thinks this child is really cute, especially the way the little cheek is pinched. .
Holding him in his arms, he couldn't help but touch and knead him here and there, he kneaded the child as if it were dough.
At this age, Qiao Xiaobao already knows how to like and dislike. With sugar in his mouth, he also knows how to swallow his saliva, otherwise his mouth will be full of saliva.
Compared with her elder brother, Miss Qiao was much more sloppy when she ate sweets, she couldn't swallow her saliva, and her chin and clothes were covered with saliva. The second sister, Qiao Xiaohui, was wiping her sister's mouth with a towel in her hand.
"Brother." Qiao Xiaobao looked at his elder brother, then at the person who was hugging him, and finally chose to reach out to his elder brother to hug him.
Zhou Xing was so angry that he slapped the kid on the ass, "You little white-eyed wolf, you ate my candy and still don't like me." There, he still gave the man to Qiao Minglang.
Qiao Minglang took the child over and gave someone a reproachful look.
"Bad bad." The ass was spanked, and as soon as he got into his big brother's arms, Qiao Xiaobao turned around and scolded his big brother who spanked him, and even complained to his big brother, "Brother, spank Bao's ass."
It means someone spanked him.
"Let's ignore him." Knowing that the child's aggrieved appearance was just pretending, Qiao Minglang still felt distressed, so he turned around and went out with the child in his arms.
"Does it hurt?"
"pain."
"My brother is not at home, do you miss my brother?"
"Yes, I miss my brother."
"My brother also misses Xiaobao very much."
"Well, I miss my brother."
Held in his arms by his brother, the child put his arms around his neck, his little face nestled on his shoulders, and chatted with his brother, as if he wanted to talk to him these days when his brother was away. Tell your brother everything you want to say to him.
Two little white-eyed wolves!Looking at the two brothers who left, Zhou Xing, who was standing behind, cursed bitterly in his heart.
But he still went out behind the two brothers.
***
Today is the first day of the new calendar year, and people in their place pay more attention to the Spring Festival.
But today is New Year's Day, the school is on holiday, and many children have gone home, so many people go shopping early, preparing to go back and cook for the children at home.
So today's business is good. Uncle Qiao and the others sold their goods early and came back. Seeing his nephew came back, he bought a lot of vegetables from the town and prepared to cook for everyone to eat together.
When Qiao Minglang arrived with his younger brothers and sisters, his uncle and cousins just came back, so he went forward to help move things.Uncle Qiao took down the empty baskets, "You don't need to come, I just took down a few empty baskets."
"How is business today?" Qiao Minglang asked.
"It's okay, it's okay." Uncle Qiao had a smile on his face, and it seemed that the business was good.
"Minglang, you will bring your classmates and younger brothers and sisters to eat at uncle's house today. Uncle bought a lot of vegetables." Uncle Qiao asked his nephew to stay at home for dinner. He also bought a lot of vegetables today.
"Yeah, let's cook together and eat together today. Your uncle bought a big pig's trotter. How about we make braised pork knuckle tonight?" Aunt Qiao was helping to clean up the vegetables bought by the man at home, and asked her nephews to keep them. When I came down to eat, I told my aunts to let their family come to them for dinner at night.
"Okay, then we won't cook at home tonight." Huang Yan smiled.
Qiao Minglang knew that the other two uncles also came to the uncle's house for dinner, so he didn't refuse the kindness of the uncle and the aunt.
The children of their family are currently living in the homes of the two uncles. On weekdays, the children in the family eat at the little uncle's home. Last time he came back, he gave Aunt Wu a little money to buy food.Auntie Wu was still reluctant to ask for it. After he said a few words, Auntie Wu accepted the money he gave.
Otherwise, with so many children in their family, they would always eat and drink at other people's homes. After a long time, it would definitely add a lot of burden to other people's homes.He said he wanted to raise these younger brothers and sisters by himself, and he could raise them by himself, but if he had to give him some time for the time being, he would do better.
No one lived in their house for a long time. Now that he is back, it seems that he can only follow his younger brothers and sisters to his uncle's house for dinner.
Seeing something in his nephew's hand, Aunt Qiao asked curiously, "Is there something in Minglang's hand?"
"Oh, it's what Ah Xing bought for everyone. I'll send some to my aunt's house." Qiao Minglang gave one to his aunt, and the other to his grandfather.Let the children in the family send the other two copies to the second uncle and aunt's house, and the two children have not returned yet.
"Hey, this kid, why are you so polite." Aunt Qiao saw that her nephew had sent two copies to their family, and she even gave them one. In fact, the old man lives with them, so one is enough.
Knowing that this item was given by my nephew's classmate, Mrs. Qiao said a few polite words, she was still very happy.
Seeing his grandson bring so many things, Grandpa Qiao was surprised and said, "Why did you bring so many things?"
"Ah Xing brought it, I didn't buy it." Qiao Minglang himself was reluctant to spend the money, so he might as well buy a few more clothes for the children to wear, it's better than these things to eat and drink.
"What are you doing with this money? It costs so much money to buy so many things." Grandpa Qiao opened the bag and saw that there were cigarettes and alcohol in the bag. It was not cheap at first glance.Zhou Xing said: "Grandpa, you can just keep something that is not worth a few dollars."
"Hey, you kid, come to play in the future, don't come to buy things." Grandpa Qiao said.
"Hey, okay, I will definitely come to visit you often in the future." Zhou Xing glanced at Qiao Minglang, so that you can't say anything, but your grandfather asked me to come and play in the future.
Qiao Minglang turned his head, not wanting to look at this person.
"The chickens at home have been raised for half a year, and all of them are full size. Let's pick a big rooster and kill them today."
The chickens in the family have been raised for half a year, and the bean dregs filtered out from making tofu are used to feed the chickens. A group of big roosters are all fat and strong, and it is time to eat them.Seeing so many people eating today, Mrs. Qiao asked her son to catch a big cock and come back.
It's just that their chickens are kept outside the yard, and it's broad daylight now, and the chickens haven't returned to their cages yet, so it's not easy to catch them.
Uncle Qiao shouted to his son: "Mingliang, go and fill a bowl with half a bowl of white wine, soak some rice in it, feed it to the chickens, pick the fat one and bring it back."
"Hey, I'll go right away." Qiao Mingliang put down the things in his hand, went to get a bowl to pour wine, grabbed a handful of rice and put it in.
It was the first time Zhou Xing saw someone catching chickens like this, and he thought it was fun, so he went to help together.
"When that stupid chicken eats the soaked rice, it will be easy to catch." These children who grew up in the countryside knew how to catch chickens since they were young.Qiao Mingliang went outside with a bowl and spilled the soaked rice on the ground, and the chicken outside ran over to eat the rice.
As soon as the chicken ate the soaked rice, it squatted on the ground and fell asleep with its eyes closed.
The two specially picked the biggest one and surrounded it from both sides. Qiao Mingliang grabbed the sleeping rooster in one go.When he found out that he had been caught, the big rooster flapped its wings and had no chance to run away.
