Chapter 7 Delivering Eggs

Lian Fangzhou secretly smiled bitterly: 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 cheerful people, and greeted her with a smile.

Aunt Zhang knew that she would never come here to hang out, and she was afraid that her face would be tender, so she smiled and said before she opened her mouth: "If you have anything to say, just tell me, we are all acquaintances, don't talk about that." You don't have to be embarrassed!"

A warm current flowed through Lian Fangzhou's heart. She is not a person who is easily moved, but at this moment, she felt hot, slightly sour, but more warm, a kind of warmth full of human touch.

She couldn't help but secretly swear in her heart: If she gets rich in the future, she must repay this family well.

"I'm telling you, it's not that I want to trouble you with something!" Lian Fangzhou smiled and said, "That's right, isn't winter coming soon? I want to repair the roof, doors and windows but I don't know where to fix them." Where to buy tiles and wood, and the price, I want to ask Uncle Li..."

After hearing this, Aunt Zhang patted her thigh, nodded, and said, "No, the doors and windows of your house really need to be repaired! They are all children, and it's going to be cold in winter! No wonder you thought of this at this time!"

"That's right!" Li Damu also smiled and said, "It's sunny in autumn, and the price of tiles is much cheaper than in winter. In Shiwan, which is more than 20 miles away from us, there are bricks and tiles specially fired." I'll take Lian Ze to the place tomorrow when I'm free, our family has a bullock cart, and I'll help you pull it back by the way."

"Uncle Li, what an embarrassment! It's too much trouble for you!" Lian Fangzhou was grateful and sorry at the same time, and said with a smile: "But I really can't say no, thank you..."

"Hehe, don't be so polite! When we were poor, your parents helped us a lot. Don't say such things in the future, huh?" Li Damu shook his hand, with a simple and honest smile on his bronzed face.

Lian Fangzhou nodded, agreed with an "hey", agreed on the time, and took Lian Fangqing back.

After returning home and talking about it, Lian Fangqing asked Lian Ze: "Don't we have two old hens? What about the eggs?"

"Should I eat eggs tomorrow morning?" Lian Fangqing's eyes lit up, her face was full of anticipation and excitement.

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

"Really! Great, 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 here." Lian Ze turned around and brought a basket.Seeing that Lian Fangzhou wanted to count, he said again: "There are 41 in total. The salt, oil and needles used by my sister are bought from eggs. I originally planned to save up to a hundred and take them to the city. Sell."

Lian Fangzhou couldn't help but secretly sighed, and said: "Don't sell it in the future! Let's figure out a way to deal with the oil and salt! In addition to keeping some hatchling chickens, let Qing'er and Che'er eat the rest! They are still young Well, it's time to grow up, we can't lose them! Otherwise, we will regret it in the future!"

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

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

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

When Lian Fangzhou saw his reaction, he regretted his words a little. Knowing that he was a very self-respecting person, he hurriedly laughed and said, "Yes, it is my sister who said something wrong! You are already a man!"

Lian Ze didn't forgive her previous words because of her words. 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, took a clean basket, picked out thirty eggs and put them carefully, and put the rest away.

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

Knocking lightly on the gate knocker of the yard, when Mrs. Zhao opened the door and saw her, she couldn't help but glared at her and said, "Why are you here again? You've been running to our house every now and then, you should be the gate of the city. Nah!"

"I'm bothering Mrs. Zhao!" Lian Fangzhou smiled apologetically, looked at the basket in his hand and said with a smile, "I'm really sorry that I will trouble Uncle Li again tomorrow. But our family doesn't have much money, and these eggs are nothing more than eggs." There is not much in mind, please accept it, sister-in-law, don't be disgusted!"

Mrs. Zhao was stunned for a moment, said "Oh" and felt a little embarrassed, and said with a smile, "Is that so... that, you take it in and tell your uncle and aunt..."

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

"This, how embarrassing! Forget it, take it back quickly!" Mrs. Zhao glanced at the eggs in the basket, rubbed her hands and laughed.

"Sister-in-law, I'll be ashamed to say that again!" How could Lian Fangzhou fail to understand the pretending refusal in Zhao's words?He smiled and forced the basket into her hands.

"Hey!" Mrs. 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 deliver it anytime, it's just a basket!" Lian Fangzhou said goodbye with a smile.

Mrs. Zhao closed the courtyard door, happily counting the eggs in the basket, but her husband Li Sanhe came over suddenly: "What is it?"

"Ouch!" Mrs. Zhao jumped in surprise, patted her chest and glared at him, "You scared me to death! Where did this come from!"

After speaking, he smiled and told Li Sanhe about Lian Fangzhou sending eggs, and sighed with a smile: "Speaking of which, this Fangzhou is the first time to send something to our house instead of asking for something! Now she is really It’s as if I’ve changed into a different person, I can be a human again!”

After hearing this, Li Sanhe frowned, and blamed him: "Who told you to accept it, it's not easy for them as siblings!"

Mrs. Zhao was dissatisfied: "What do you call that? They are all in the same village. Isn't everyone's life like this? You tell me, who is easy? We are easy?"

"Oh, I can't explain to you for a while!" Li Sanhe said: "Anyway, I can't accept it! You should return it quickly, and be careful if your parents find out about you!"

"No refund! I just won't refund!" Zhao said dissatisfied: "I didn't force it, but someone sent it on my own initiative! Only a fool will refund! Besides, if you don't tell your parents, how will they know?"

"Why don't you tell us? Hey, Meizi, what are you holding in your hand!" Aunt Zhang just came out of the house, and she couldn't help asking when she heard this sentence.
