Shen Su'e returned to the house, woke up Tu Gen, put on his clothes, and then brought him a piece of egg pancake to eat, "Hurry up and finish it. You have to be early for the market. If you go late, there will be no one." "
"Mom, do I need to take a carriage to go to the market?" Xiao Lingbao asked her mother after finishing two pieces of egg pancakes in one go.
"Carriage?" Shen Su'e thought for a while, "That's okay. I was originally thinking of walking. If I want to take a carriage, I have to go to the production team and ask first."
After saying this, she took the eggs out from under the bed. Seeing that Tugen had finished eating the egg pancakes, she took the two children and rushed to the production team.
There are still empty seats on the carriage that is about to leave. The price of the carriage is cheaper than that of Baihe Village. It only costs four cents for adults and one cent for children.
Shen Su'e handed over six cents and went out, holding the little Lingbao in her arms and getting into the car, letting Tu Gen sit next to her.
"drive!"
The carriage drove out of the village, and the woman sitting in the same carriage asked Shen Su'e: "Who are you? I seem to have seen you before..."
"I am Guisheng's eldest aunt," Shen Su'e introduced herself, "This time I am taking the child back to my parents' house to stay for a few days."
"oh……"
The woman didn't remember who "Guisheng" was for a while.
Although they are all from the same village, there are more than a hundred households after all. Those who live close by can still name them, but those who live a little further away are less familiar.
"The Shen family, right?" Another woman in the car reacted first, "I remember Aunt Zhao's eldest son's name is 'Guisheng', are you her eldest aunt?"
"Yes." Shen Su'e nodded.
"Why did you suddenly return to your parents' home? Your mother seemed to have left a few years ago, right? Your father no longer lives in the village."
The woman's name was "Honggu". After she finished speaking doubtfully, she immediately asked, "Did you have a quarrel with your man?"
Shen Su'e smiled and shook her head, "No, we are already an old married couple, so why should we quarrel? I just want to bring my children back to stay for a few days."
"Oh, who said old couples can't quarrel? My wife and I have been quarreling all day long. We have been quarreling for more than ten years. I think we will quarrel for the rest of our lives."
For a while, all the women in the car joined in the chat.
Everyone chatted for a while, and Aunt Hong was the first to notice Xiao Lingbao and praised her: "Sister, your granddaughter is so pretty."
"It's not my granddaughter, it's my daughter." Shen Su'e corrected.
"Daughter?" For a moment, everyone looked at Lingbao, "Ah! This little baby is only three or four years old, right?"
"Sister, do you have such a young daughter?"
"Look at this girl's face. It's so pink and tender, like a mountain peach."
Honggu pointed at Tugen, "Isn't this your son?"
"Ah? Could it be that... a twin of a dragon and a phoenix?"
When everyone was amazed, Tugen said angrily: "That's wrong! I'm not grandma's son! I'm grandma's grandson!"
"Oh, he's his grandson. He looks about the same age. I thought he was born from the same child. The two children look quite alike."
Hong Gu covered her mouth and laughed out loud, "Auntie Wang, what's wrong with your eyes? You don't look like them at all. Do you have presbyopia?"
"Oh, my eyes are not getting better. I'm getting older..."
Others couldn't help laughing at this time, and an older woman said: "This girl doesn't look like the dolls in our rural areas."
"It really doesn't look like it," everyone looked at Lingbao carefully. "It looks like a child raised by officials in the city using malted milk."
"That's right, it looks like he grew up drinking malted milk!"
Listening to their talk getting more and more outrageous, Shen Su'e interrupted: "What? Lingbao is my daughter! She is so beautiful naturally."
"But her eyes, nose, and mouth don't look like yours. Don't say she looks like her father. I don't believe any man can have such a pretty face."
The little baby who had been silent before couldn't help but said: "Lingbao is the most like my mother! Lingbao is also very similar to my father!"
After saying that, she asked Tugen: "Tugen, do you think Lingbao looks a lot like mother and father?"
"Ah?" Tugen was stunned, not knowing how to answer.
He pursed his lips in embarrassment and looked at his grandma for help, "Grandma, do you think my aunt looks like you?"
Shen Su'e didn't want her daughter to think too much, "It looks like! Of course it does! Lingbao was born to me. It's not like me, so who else can it look like?"
Hearing his mother's answer, Lingbao frowned and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, Lingbao is my mother's biological child, so of course he looks like me!"
Others, you look at me and I look at you, not knowing what to say.
In order to lighten the atmosphere, Honggu agreed with a smile: "Can they look different from mother to daughter? I think they look alike, right?"
After finally finding the steps, no one in the car wanted to upset or embarrass others, so they all nodded and said "right".
The carriage jolted for a long time, and finally arrived at the largest market in Honghe Town. This market is very close to the county seat, and many people from the county seat will come here to go to the market.
Before Lingbao got out of the car, he heard a cry of hawking, "Chickens for sale, little chickens, a chicken is only a dime, it's cheap, a dime a piece..."
"Mom, there are chickens for sale there, shall we go and have a look?"
"Okay!" After getting off the carriage, Shen Su'e took her daughter and Tu Gen to the stall selling chickens, and saw many people surrounding them.
A young woman held her husband's arm and said, "It's so cheap. You can buy one for just a dime. Let's buy some and raise them."
"Where are they going to be raised?" The man frowned, "The room given to us in the factory is so small, how can we have room to raise chickens?"
"Keep it on the balcony."
"No, no, chicken shit stinks."
"But I want to raise them. They will be able to lay eggs when they are raised. Didn't you say before that the factory director agreed at a meeting that we should raise one chicken per household?"
The man waved his hand, "That's what you say, but these chickens are difficult to raise. The temperature is too cold or too hot. To raise the chicks into hens, you have to feed them corn and earthworms. It's very troublesome anyway. You definitely won't Even if you know how to keep it, buying it is a waste."
"I can ask my sister, she will definitely raise chickens!" When the woman spoke, her calves were a little sore from standing for too long, and she couldn't stand still for a while. She couldn't help but take a step back and almost bumped into Shen Su'e.
Turning around hastily, she apologized and said, "I didn't step on you, did I? I'm sorry, I didn't stand firm just now, that's why..."
Before she finished speaking, she noticed Xiao Lingbao being held by Shen Su'e's hand, and her pupils shrank violently, "Yan, Yan'er?"
Suspecting that she had seen it wrong, she rubbed her eyes vigorously, and then tugged on her husband's arm, "It's Yan'er, right? My sister's little girl."
"Ah? Didn't your sister say that her mother-in-law threw the child into the mountains and disappeared?"
"They look very similar." The woman stared at Lingbao intently.
When Shen Su'e heard her saying "lost in the mountains", her heart suddenly lifted, and she hurriedly protected Lingbao behind her, her face filled with anger, "My daughter's name is Lingbao, not Yan'er. Please admit your mistake." People."
