Chapter 76
Chapter 76
Chunmei dragged Xiao Conglin into the house, just as her mother-in-law Guo Lanying was washing clothes in a big basin by the patio.

Guo Lanying saw Chunmei pulling Conglin into the house, and saw that there were still wet tears on his face and red eyes from crying, so she asked, "What's wrong with Conglin? Why did you start crying? Did your mother beat you up again?" you?"

In the village, everyone knew that Wu Damei had a bad temper and liked to take it out on the children at home, so when Guo Lanying saw Cong Lin crying, the first thing she thought of was to be beaten by Wu Damei again.

Chunmei led Cong Lin to the inner room, said with a smile: "It was beaten by his father, this kid wanted to eat boiled eggs for his mother, but the family boiled one, if he couldn't eat it, he would get into trouble. "

"This Zhengxiang's family is really good. How many children do they have to cook? They don't cook more than two. Now that the children are getting hungry, it's no wonder they don't make trouble." Guo Lanying said.

Chunmei walked up to her mother-in-law, and continued, "I said the same thing just now, but Uncle Zhengxiang said that it seems that there are not many eggs at home, and there are only enough eggs for my aunt to eat when she is pregnant."

"Oh, thinking about it, these children are really suffering." Guo Lanying stopped rubbing her clothes and sighed softly.

"Mom, I'll take Cong Lin in to get some eggs. This kid really wants to eat them. Anyway, we still have some eggs."

"Well, take it." Guo Lanying didn't say anything, there were a lot of eggs at home, so just take it.

Chunmei led Cong Lin into the side room. This room is usually used to store millet, rice noodles, eggs and other sundries.

"Cong Lin, how many do you want? Let's take ten back and cook them slowly, okay? After we finish eating, we can get them next time if we want them?"

Cong Lin nodded.

Chunmei led Lin to the table by the window, and the eggs were placed in a bucket on the table.She carefully lifted the bucket to the ground, then peeled away the grains that had laid the eggs, and picked out ten eggs of similar size from inside.

"Go to that drawer and check if there is a bag or something, take one out and put it in." Chunmei directed Cong Lin and said, the ten eggs really couldn't be taken back without a bag.

Cong Lin stood up obediently, and really went to open the drawer of the table.He saw that there were a lot of odds and ends in the drawer, among which were some colorful change.He glanced at the money, then at Chunmei, seeing that she didn't look at him, so he took a piece of money and put it in his pocket in a daze.

"Cong Lin, have you found the bag?" Chunmei saw that all ten eggs had been taken out, but the bag hadn't been found yet, so she could only raise her head and urge him.

"Uh, I didn't... I didn't find it." Cong Lin quickly stretched out his small hand from his pocket, and looked at Chunmei with extremely flustered eyes.

"Haha, look at you stupid. Look, isn't this a bag?" Chunmei stood up and saw the plastic bag in the drawer at a glance.

Cong Lin stood aside, silently watching Chunmei put all the ten eggs into the bag.

"Okay, take it home and cook it. Remember to share it with your brothers and sisters." Chunmei happily handed the packed bag to Cong Lin.

Cong Lin took the bag from her hand and ran out of the house like flying, but disappeared in an instant.

Chunmei watched his little back out the door with a funny face, and then closed the door and walked out.

"Mom, this kid Cong Lin runs really fast! I brought him an egg and he ran away immediately, and when I got out of the house, he disappeared." Thinking of the appearance of this little Cong Lin, Chunmei felt I want to laugh a little.

Guo Lanying knew the situation of Lu Zhengxiang's family better than Chunmei, so she said: "He must run fast when he gets the eggs. It's very good for their family to have some eggs to eat. Now that the three children have added one, the future will be difficult." There are still days to live."

Chunmei sighed softly and said, "It's not easy for Uncle Zhengxiang, you have to support a big family if you earn money by yourself."

"That's not true. The main reason is that the beautiful woman in his family is lazy, and the food is delicious and lazy, otherwise it wouldn't be like this." Mentioning Wu Damei, Guo Lanying vigorously shook the clothes in her hands in the water, as if the clothes belonged to Wu Damei.

"A person like Auntie Damei who has to take care of children in the village should not be able to earn money, right?" Hearing her mother-in-law say that Wu Damei is lazy, Chunmei thought that no matter how hardworking the women in the countryside are, they can only work hard on their own family. It is even more difficult to earn some money in a place like Xiaolinggang with a lot of mountains and little land.

"That's what I said, but she is too lazy to turn over her own field. There is not much land at home, but she has to wait until Zhengxiang has time to go back from work before turning over a variety of crops. You say, If you are so lazy, can the family afford it?"

……

Chunmei really didn't know what to say now, she had the impression that Wu Damei was just a bit more talkative, but she didn't expect to be so lazy.

In other words, after Lin Congchunmei came out, he ran back home in a short while.

Seeing that he brought back a bag of eggs, Wu Damei happily stepped forward to take it.She carried the bag and counted roughly, and when she saw that there were only ten eggs, she pouted immediately, and said unhappily, "Why did you only give so many eggs? That day the army gave more than that to Beishui's family. Take turns." We will only give these a few. Really, relatives of the same family are not as good as outsiders!"

"Mom, should we cook it now?" Cong Lin ignored his mother's nagging. He is still young and only has edible eggs in his eyes.

"Cook, cook, cook now, what a snack. Go ask your brother to come in and light the fire!" Wu Damei murmured, turned around and went to the kitchen with the eggs.

As soon as Cong Lin heard that the eggs were going to be boiled, he ran out of the back room happily and called his brother who was lying on the grass to come in.

Wu Damei carefully took out three eggs from the bag and put them into clear water, exactly one for each of the three children.

"Mom, can you cook one more, I want to eat two eggs." Cong Lin looked at Wu Damei anxiously and said.

"I want to eat two too." Cong Sen also said, who was burning a fire in the stove below.

Wu Damei stared at the two brothers with her eyes, and choked, "Just eat one, and I want to eat two more. What do you want to eat next time after eating them all?"

Being scolded by their mother, the two brothers had no choice but to keep quiet.They understand the mother's temper, and they may not eat any of them if they are in a hurry.

"Cong Lin, go to the big banyan tree and call your sister back. Remember, don't talk about eating eggs in front of others, just say that I was looking for her, you understand?"

Lu Conglin nodded, and disappeared under Wu Damei's instructing eyes.

Ten minutes later, the eggs were just cooked, and the three brothers and sisters ate them hungrily while they were still hot.The three of them are just like the three apprentices who ate ginseng fruit in Journey to the West, they still smashed it after eating, still wanting more.

"Mom, eggs are delicious!" Daughter Lu Xiaoxiang said, licking her lips.

Wu Damei glanced at the three children, and said with a bad face: "No, let's all go and play, don't bother me here."

Lu Xiaoxiang and Lu Congsen wiped their mouths, and fled in a hurry, only Lu Conglin still dawdled away.
