DAY 12 OF RAISING PUPPIES
Lin Chuxia finally went to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables. By the way, she would go to the supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow to see if there were any vegetable seeds. The vegetables in the vegetable garden were almost finished, so it was time to buy some vegetable seeds and plant them.
She cooked another plate of seaweed and egg drop soup, and opened another box of canned food. In this day and age, it is definitely the standard for a good New Year meal! ! !
Because she was worried about being seen, she kept the door closed while eating, and there was no electric light. After Lin Chuxia lit the kerosene lamp, she found that it was not bright enough, so she brought a large desk lamp, the kind that would sparkle and turn around, especially for expensive items. It was bright, no different from today’s electric lights.
When the three children saw it, their eyes widened and they exclaimed “Wow”. They had never seen it before and couldn’t help but ran forward and stretched out their short hands to touch it.
“This is a lamp. It’s very expensive. It’s about the same as ten pounds of pork!” Lin Chuxia raised her eyebrows and said with a smile. At this moment, she didn’t even think about whether people would notice something was wrong when she took these things out.
From Lin Chuxia’s point of view, no matter how smart the three little cubs are, they are still only four or five years old and have never gotten along with little friends. She also feels that they are not like future generations of children who have gone to kindergarten, so there is no need to be on guard at all.
Otherwise, beware of this and that, and come to this era to endure hardships. If you have a golden finger and still dare not eat or drink, wouldn’t you be asking for trouble?
As soon as the three little cubs heard the light worth ten kilograms of pork, their short hands that were originally stretched out, about to touch the bright light were subconsciously pulled back, but their round black eyes kept looking at this lamp in amazement.
Good, so bright, just like dawn…
For the first time, Erzai and the others discovered that the bad woman seemed… something was not quite right?
But at this time, seaweed and egg drop was served. It was nothing unusual to eat green vegetables every day. The smell of the meat with bean paste was different from that of sausage. The egg drop soup was also very fragrant…
( meat with black bean sauce )
Suddenly, the thought in their mind of something wrong was immediately thrown away, and they all sat down, each holding a small spoon in their short hands. When Lin Chuxia was dividing the meat and soup, they began to hum the rice like a piglet.
And the bones of the meat have already been picked out when she opened the can and took them out. You can’t let a three- or five-year-old baby pick out the bones, right?
Tonight, they had another full meal and their bellies were round. Lin Chuxia had no choice but to stop trying to make milk powder for them, so as not to overwhelm them.
In fact, with such a delicious meal, if Lin Chuxia hadn’t stopped it, she would have to cook two more bowls of rice per meal.
They all gently rubbed their bellies. Fortunately, she had already bathed them before eating. At the same time, she continued to tell them the little pig adventure story she had made up for them. This time, the protagonists became a trio :- They are: Big Pig, second Pig and third Pig.
DaZai, ErZai, and SanZai: They have reasons and evidence to prove that the piggy the bad woman is talking about must be the three of them! ! !
The three little cubs subconsciously touched their round bellies with their short hands. Only then, they didn’t look like pigs. They took a deep breath and pretended that they could hide their round bellies.
However, within three seconds of taking a breath, they returned to their chubby shape when they exhaled. However, after recovering, they glanced at Lin Chuxia again to see if she was paying attention to them.
At this time, Lin Chuxia had already was telling stories about three pigs seriously. When she caught a glimpse of the movements of the three little cuties out of the corner of her eye, she smiled.
Tsk, as expected, the little cubs are healing and being especially a cute one.
Although the three little cubs are now sallow and thin, after spending a night and a day together, Lin Chuxia said that other people’s children are not as cute as hers. When she raises the three little children to be white and fat, they will be super cute.
There was a warm smile on the corner of her mouth. This time, she didn’t tell any strange adventure stories. She told a story about three little pigs building a house, but the big bad wolf came.
Listening to this story, the three children looked at Lin Chuxia with unpredictable expressions. They didn’t even bother to inhale their round bellies to eliminate the “piggy fat belly”
DaZai: “I’m not that stupid. Grass can’t be used to build a house!”
Erzai: “A house built of wood is easy to destroy and burn. I won’t use such materials.”
Only Sanzai, who was praised few times, grinned and was shy but with a hint of confidence. He lost his previous timidity and smiled softly. Sanzai could actually protect his brother.
“Yes, our eldest and second son are not as stupid as Big and Second Pigs. They are the smartest. Oh my god, my eldest and second sons are the only ones mother has seen in the world… Oh, Dazai , Erzai and Sanzai are the smartest children in the world that mother has ever seen.” She opened her arms in an exaggerated tone and praised her adorable little darlings.
………….
Compared to the warmth of Lin Chuxia and others, the Lin family became noisy because three eggs were missing from the house.
“I don’t know who in the family is so greedy and stole the eggs. We worked so hard and didn’t even get to eat them, and my children didn’t get to eat either…” The eldest daughter-in-law was very dissatisfied and accused her eccentrically, speaking directly. Lin Qiu Shuang came.
Lin Qiu Shuang felt guilty. She sat at the dinner table and said like an eldest daughter-in-law, “I don’t know who stole the eggs and you still don’t admit it?”
The daughter-in-law of the Lin family was about to be offended by Lin Qiu Shuang’s shamelessness. Damn it, besides this spoiled and lazy sister-in-law, who else can do it in the family?
However, everyone knows that they can only talk about it, but they can’t do any harm to Lin Qiu Shuang. They can only sarcastically say, ” You only know how to eat and drink for free at home, and make such a fuss. Do you know if you can still get married?”
“Okay, Keep quite now” The Eldest on pulled his wife and signaled her to stop talking.
The expressions on the faces of the Lin family were not very good. After all, they are all from the same village. The whole village knows about the Xie family’s commotion at noon today, just because of the conflict between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law… Who doesn’t laugh at it?
Old man Lin didn’t want to make a joke at home, so he asked Lin Qiu Shuang with a sullen face, “Qiu Shuang, did you take the eggs?”
Seeing the old man’s question, Old Mrs. Lin frowned, “Old man, why are you suspecting our daughter? How could Qiu Shuang be such a person? Besides, I have kept the keys well…”
“Who else then besides her ? the eldest wife is right, how old is she now ? before she insisted on marrying Xie Jing Ming but later retorted and is always lazy and don’t go to work on time! !” Old man Lin also knew that Lin Qiu Shuang went to work very late at noon.
“Dad!!! I don’t have the eggs. Besides, how can I marry in the Xie family?” Lin Qiu Shuang thought why her parents, brother and sister-in-law are so selfish. They think if she doesn’t marry, she will lose the face of her family. Is face more important, or is she and her happiness more important?
At this time, Lin Qiu Shuang had forgotten that when she said she wanted to marry Xie Jingming, her parents worked hard to find a matchmaker to propose to Xie Jingming for this purpose. She also forgot that when she came back from rebirth and learned that she was not married yet, she rolled around and said she would not marry. When she said this, her parents racked their brains to change the matter to Lin Chuxia’s marriage…
“Okay, one egg for each person tonight, Qiu Shuang has no share!” Old man Lin didn’t care what Lin Qiu Shuang looked like, he was tired with spoiling Qiu Shuang. If her brother and sister-in-law are tired of her antics and want to break ties, then if Qiu Shuang gets married in the future and there is no brother to support her, won’t she be bullied to death?
Lin Qiu Shuang didn’t know that Old Man Lin had a preference for her. She thought it was because her family had changed. She widened her eyes in astonishment, cried angrily and turned around to run away. She didn’t care that it was getting dark now.
Lin Qiu Shuang felt extremely wronged. She was also feeling wronged in her previous life. She said that she wanter to marry to Xie Jingming and when she married she was bullied… Wu Wu Wu…
At this time, she was sitting under the tree. While Sun Xiangxue happened to be happy after winning a few cents from gambling and came down from the mountain happily. When he passed by, he happened to see Lin Qiu Shuang sitting there crying…
………..
When going to bed at night, the three little cubs leaned together and slept soundly. This time, Dazai dreamed that they became the pigs that were chased by the big bad wolf…
When he got up the next morning, the he sat up angrily again. It must have been the bad woman’s intention!
At this time, Lin Chuxia, who had already prepared breakfast, was about to ask them to get up, when she saw their figures coming out of the room, urging them to brush their teeth quickly, and supervising them. Those who don’t brush their teeth obediently will not have meat to eat this morning.
The three children were brushing their teeth, washing their faces and washing their hands, sitting on a small stool. Each of them had a bowl filled with milk, and another small plate with three barbecued pork buns.
Where’s the meat?
The three children who finished brushing their teeth in excitement blinked their big bright eyes and raised their heads at the same time, accusing Lin Chuxia of lying. Lin Chuxia reached out and tore open the barbecued pork bun, “This is a bun, made of white flour, with meat inside. It’s called barbecued pork bun.”
“Also, you three are too short and thin. If you go out and fight with others, you will definitely not win. This is milk. After drinking it, you will grow taller and stronger. You can protect your brothers…” As soon as Lin Chuxia said this, the eyes of the three children immediately became bright. They picked up the buns with their short hands and took a bite. Wow, it tastes good. Then they took a sip of milk. It’s not sweet… But, according to what Lin Chuxia said, they didn’t dare not drink.
After eating, Lin Chuxia went out and reminded them not to run around at home and to play at the door until their mother came back.
The three children nodded indifferently. They were not familiar with the children in the village, so where else could they go to play? It would be better to play marbles and a Rubik’s Cube at home. However, when Lin Chuxia went out, their eager eyes were staring at Lin Chuxia.
“Okay, mom will be back soon, okay?” Lin Chuxia looked at their eager expressions and felt soft-hearted. She lowered her head and kissed each of them on their cheeks before going out.
The eldest snorted, “Who, who cares that you come back early? No, don’t kiss me.”
The gentle Erzai looked as if nothing had happened, but his eyebrows curled up in a smile and he nodded softly.
The timid San Zai shyly tugged at the corner of his brother’s clothes, his face red…
Not long after Lin Chuxia went out, the three children were about to play marbles by themselves. Suddenly, seven or eight children appeared at the door. He shouted to them, ” Dazai, Erzai, Sanzai , come and play with us…”
