Chapter 7 Delivering Eggs

Lian Fangzhou smiled bitterly to himself: It seems that this deity is really—

Tell her what to say!

She can only endure it!

Aunt Zhang and her husband, Li Damu, were quite cheerful, and greeted her with a smile.

Aunt Zhang knew that she would never come here to play, and she was afraid that her face would be tender, so she took the initiative to smile without waiting for her to speak: "If you have something to say, just tell me, we are all acquaintances, so don't talk about that. You're welcome, don't be embarrassed!"

Lian Fangzhou's heart suddenly felt a warm current. She was not someone who was easily moved, but at this time, she felt that her heart was warm, slightly sour, but more of a warmth, a warmth full of human touch.

She couldn't help but swear in her heart that if she made a fortune in the future, she would definitely repay the family well.

"But I told you, but I don't want to trouble you for something!" Lian Fangzhou smiled and said, "That's right, isn't winter coming soon? I want to repair the roof and doors and windows, but I don't know where it should be. Where to buy tiles and wood, and the price, I want to ask Uncle Li about it..."

Aunt Zhang patted her thigh after hearing this, nodded and said, "No, the doors and windows of your house should really be repaired! They are all children, and it can't be cold in winter! It's hard for you to think of this at this time!"

"Yeah!" Li Damu also smiled and said, "The weather in autumn is high and crisp, and the price of tiles is much cheaper than in winter. In Shiwan, which is more than 20 miles away from us, there are special fired bricks. Wa’s field, I’ll take Lian Ze there tomorrow when I’m free, we have an ox cart at home, and I’ll help you bring it back by the way.”

"Uncle Li, how embarrassing is this! It's too much trouble for you!" Lian Fangzhou was both grateful and regretful, and said with a smile: "But I really can't say anything to refuse, thank you..."

"Hehe, don't be so polite! When we were poor, your parents helped a lot. Don't talk about this in the future, ah?" Li Damu shook his hand, a simple and honest smile on his bronzed face.

Lian Fangzhou nodded, "hey" and agreed, after agreeing on the time, he took Lian Fangqing back.

After returning home and talking about it, Lian Fangqing asked Lian Ze, "Don't we have two old hens in our house? Where are the eggs that were laid?"

"Are you going to eat eggs tomorrow morning!" Lian Fangqing's eyes lit up, and her face was full of anticipation and excitement.

Lian Fangzhou couldn't bear to see her disappointed, so he nodded with a smile: "Well, my sister will fry eggs for you tomorrow morning, okay?"

"Really! Okay, great!" Lian Fangqing clapped her little hands and cheered.

Lian Fangzhou and Lian Ze looked at each other, and they both smiled faintly, feeling a little sour in their hearts.

"The eggs are all here." Lian Ze turned around and brought a basket. Seeing that Lian Fangzhou was about to count, he said again: "There are forty-one in total. The salt, oil, and needles and threads used by my sister were all bought with the money for eggs. I originally planned to save up a hundred before taking them. Sell ​​it in the city."

Lian Fangzhou couldn't help but sigh, and said, "Don't sell it in the future! Let's find a way to deal with the oil and salt! In the future, except for some hatchling chicks, let Qinger and Cheer eat the rest! They are still young. Well, it's time to grow up, we can't lose them! Otherwise, we will regret it later!"

"Well, listen to my sister!" Lian Ze nodded.

"Actually, you are still a half-old child, so you should make up for it. It's a pity that our family is now-"

"Sister!" Lian Ze interrupted Lian Fangzhou a little embarrassedly, and said unhappily, "I'm not too young! I'm a man, I should support my family, and I will send my sister to marry in the future!"

Lian Fangzhou regretted what he said when he saw his reaction. Knowing that he was a very self-respecting person, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Yes, it was my sister who said the wrong thing! You are already a manly man!"

Lian Ze didn't forgive her for her previous words because of what she said. He looked at her and said, "One day, sister, you will believe me!" Then he turned and left.

Lian Fangzhou shook his head slightly and smiled, brought a clean basket, picked 30 eggs and carefully placed them in it, and kept the rest.

She carried the basket containing thirty eggs and went out to Aunt Zhang's house.

Gently knocking on the doorknocker of the yard, when Zhao opened the door and saw it was her, she couldn't help but glared at her desperately and said, "Why are you here again. You are running to our house this time, you should be the gate of the city. Na!"

"I'm bothering Mrs. Zhao!" Lian Fangzhou hurriedly smiled apologetically, looked at the basket in his hand and smiled: "I'm going to trouble Uncle Li again tomorrow, I'm really sorry. But our family doesn't have much money anymore, these eggs are just a I don’t have much intentions, so please accept my sister-in-law, don’t dislike it!”

Zhao Shi was stunned for a moment, "Oh", he was a little embarrassed, and smiled: "Is this... that, you take it in and tell your uncle and aunt..."

"Don't be so troublesome! I still have to go home to cook! It's the same for my sister-in-law!" Lian Fangzhou smiled and handed the basket over.

"This, how embarrassing it is! Forget it, you can take it back!" Zhao glanced at the eggs in the basket, rubbed his hands together and smiled.

"Sister-in-law, I'm ashamed to say this again!" Where could Lian Fangzhou not hear the pretended refusal in Zhao's words? He smiled and forced the basket into her hands.

"Hey!" Mr. Zhao took the basket with a smile, and said with a smile, "I'll send you the basket back tomorrow morning!"

"Sister-in-law, you can send it anytime, it's just a basket!" Lian Fangzhou said goodbye with a smile.

Mrs. Zhao closed the courtyard door and happily counted the eggs in the basket, only to see her husband Li Sanhe suddenly come over: "What?"

"Ouch!" Zhao shi was taken aback, patted his chest and glared at him: "You scared me to death! Where did this fight come from!"

After speaking, he smiled and told Li Sanhe about Lian Fangzhou's delivery of eggs, and sighed: "Speaking of which, this Fangzhou is the first time to send something to our house instead of asking for something! It's like you've changed a person, you'll be a man!"

Li Sanhe frowned when he heard it, and blamed: "Who told you to accept it, it's not easy for them to have a few siblings!"

Zhao's dissatisfaction: "What are you talking about? It's all in the same village, and everyone's life is not like this? You say, who is easy? We are easy?"

"Oh, I can't tell you for a while!" Li Sanhe said: "In short, I can't accept it! Hurry up and return it, be careful that your parents know and tell you!"

"I won't retire! I just won't retire!" Zhao shi said dissatisfiedly: "I didn't force it, it was sent by someone else! Only a fool will retire! Besides, if you don't tell your parents, how would they know?"

"Why don't you tell us? Oh, what are you holding Meizi!" Aunt Zhang just came out of the room and couldn't help but ask when she heard this.
