Chapter 435 Going out at night
Not long after Zhao Dong and his companions left, Niu Yuzhu and Luo Meihua arrived. As soon as they entered the yard, Niu Yuzhu began to shout, "Sister-in-law, I just met Brother Dong. He said that your family wants to buy a mule. Is that true?"
Gu Qingqing listened to his voice, and he had already come out of the inner courtyard. "What's true or not? I gave all the money to Brother Dong. What, do you know a family that wants to sell a mule?"
"Sister-in-law." Luo Meihua greeted her.
According to the time calculation, Luo Meihua was obviously pregnant a month later than Gu Qingqing, but at this moment, her belly was even rounder than Gu Qingqing's. Gu Qingqing could also notice this, but she could only envy her.
After all, Xiaoyang and Xiaoguang are twins. When Wen Wuyan came back last month, he specially invited a doctor from the town to come and take Gu Qingqing's pulse. Since the doctor came to her house, Gu Qingqing asked the children to call Luo Meihua and asked the doctor to help as well.
As a result, they were having twins again.
Gu Qingqing was envious and worried at the same time. It was really a quick way to add two more members to the family by suffering once.
What I am worried about is that the medical conditions in this era are too poor. If something goes wrong, we can only pray to God.
"Why are you here too? Didn't the doctor tell you last time to stay at home and rest well and not run around?" Gu Qingqing said as she tried to go forward to support her, but was rejected by Luo Meihua.
"You are older than me, how can I let you support me? Come on, let's sit down and talk." Luo Meihua and Gu Qingqing walked into the inner courtyard side by side.
Gu Qingqing caught a glimpse of Niu Yuzhu holding a basket with four red-skinned eggs in it. She asked curiously, "Where are you going? Or where are you coming from? What are you carrying these red eggs for?"
Luo Meihua glanced at the basket in Niu Yuzhu's hand and said with a smile, "My brother's family gave birth to a son. Here, these are the eggs sent for the celebration. I know your family has no shortage of eggs, but eggs for celebration are auspicious, so I brought you a few. By the way, I also plan to buy a basket of eggs from you, sister-in-law, and bring it over when I go to see the child."
As Luo Meihua was talking, Niu Yuzhu saw Wen Xin taking care of Wen Xin, so he grabbed two eggs in one hand and gave them to Wen Xin.
"Here, share it with Daxin and your sister."
Wen Xin took it directly and gave Niu Yuzhu a sweet smile, "Thank you, uncle." Then she turned her head and waved the red egg in her hand happily to Luo Meihua, "Thank you, auntie."
"Wen Xin is so good!" Luo Meihua said happily.
"Wen Xin, go call your aunt." Gu Qingqing said to Wen Xin, and then said to Luo Meihua, "When Sheng Xi comes over later, I'll ask her to pick up a basket for you."
"Then you have to charge for it." Luo Meihua reminded her.
"Take it, take it. If I don't take your money, you'll turn around and leave again." Gu Qingqing said with a laugh.
Luo Meihua then nodded shyly, "Then I'll feel relieved."
Seeing that the egg deal was done, Niu Yuzhu next to him asked again, "Sister-in-law, you already have a donkey cart, why do you need to buy a mule?"
"The donkey cart is mainly used to take Xiaocao to the town. The housework and the transportation of soaps have to be done by the mule cart. Otherwise, Dong Ge and his family will have to help with some chores at home, which is quite inconvenient."
Niu Yuzhu chuckled, "So it's true. When I came here just now, I thought Brother Dong was lying to me. If Brother Dong really wants to go to town tomorrow, then I will go back and tell my dad to see if our family should go to town tomorrow as well." Niu Yuzhu's eyes were shining as he spoke.
Gu Qingqing was slightly surprised and asked, "You guys are going too? Are you planning to buy a mule? Didn't you say you wanted to save money to build a house after the autumn harvest?"
Niu Yuzhu nodded happily, "We want to buy one, but we don't want a mule. Dad mentioned it a long time ago, saying it would be nice if we had a cow at home, and we like cows more. We calculated a few days ago, and even if we buy an ox cart, we still have enough to build a house."
She wondered if it was because their last name was Niu that they liked Niu more. Gu Qingqing wanted to laugh when she thought of this, but she felt that it was not appropriate at this time.
He said hastily with a cracked mouth, "It's also good to buy a cow. Cows are docile and it will be convenient for Aunt or Meihua to drive them in the future. Just do whatever you want. If it's not enough, just tell me and I'll give it to you."
Luo Meihua smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, the share of the shop money you gave us in the past three months is enough for us to buy a cow. We have money, so you don't have to worry."
Gu Qingqing didn't insist on this point, and just said, "If it's not enough, come to me anytime and get it. That's it."
While they were talking, Wen Shengxi ran over. Knowing that Sister Meihua was here to buy eggs, she took the basket on the ground and went to the west wing to pick up a basket of eggs.
After telling how many were inside, she stopped caring about it.
Seeing that the sky was turning gray and dark, Luo Meihua and Niu Yuzhu did not stay here for long, and then the two of them left together.
Gu Qingqing also took her children to bed early.
Therefore, she, who lived in the inner courtyard, did not know that the door to the front yard had been opened after dark. After Dahei was called out, the gate was closed again.
......
The moon in the sky is no longer as round and white as it was in the past few days. It is now curved like a small boat hanging in the night sky.
"Brother Dong, do you think we will encounter thieves who steal eggs when we go to sleep in the fields today?" Zhao Bei carried a bamboo basket on his back, with his bedding in it.
"I don't know. It would be fine if they didn't come. But if they dare to come today, we'll see what the boss will do to them after we catch them." Zhao Dong said calmly.
Zhao Bei sighed, sounding a little regretful. He said, "If I leave it to my sister-in-law, if the other party mentions a few words about the family's difficulties, given how soft-hearted my sister-in-law is, she might not pursue the matter."
"will not."
"Ah? What don't you know?" Zhao Bei asked curiously.
Zhao Dong turned his head and looked at Zhao Bei, then asked, "You still don't understand the boss's temper?"
"What temper?"
Zhao Dong narrowed his eyes, raised his hand to adjust the strap on his shoulder, and suddenly didn't want to talk to him anymore.
"Brother Dong, please speak."
"Brother Dong, why don't you speak?"
"Brother Dong?"
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Zhao Bei turned to Dahei who was walking in front of them and said, "Dahei, please judge for yourself. It's late at night in the wilderness and we are the only three people breathing on the road, and you can't even speak human language. Look, there are farmlands on both sides of the road. If you walk like this without saying anything, it will be very annoying to people and dogs, right? Don't you think so? I said a few more words out of kindness to liven up the atmosphere, but Dong Ge still ignored me. Do you think he is being too much?"
In the moonlight, Zhao Bei could see Dahei pause, look back at him, but continued walking forward without even barking.
Zhao Bei was startled, and asked uncertainly, "Dahei, did you look down on me just now?"
