Chapter 10 - Uncle Stone
“Daughter-in-law of the fifth family, where did you die? I haven’t seen you all morning, and everyone is waiting for you to cook. Are you going to starve us to death?” From a distance, I heard old lady Han in the front room talking Shout out.
“Fourth Sister-in-law, you’re almost too busy. I’ll go back first, otherwise my mother will definitely continue to scold!” The fifth aunt of the Han family, Mrs. Pan, looked at Mrs. Zhao apologetically.
Mrs. Zhao patted the hand of the fifth aunt of the Han family, and said, “Five younger brothers and sisters, go back quickly, or it will be bad for your mother to scold you later!”
“Ugh!”
Although Han Yingxue’s family received 30 catties of rice and 20 catties of flour, they were rich in rice, oil, and salt, and Mrs. Han didn’t give them any.
It was about noon, and Han Yingxue was still thinking about what to eat when she heard a call from outside the house.
“Mother Xueer, are you at home?” the rude voice of the man outside shouted.
Zhao went out of the house.
“Brother Stone, why are you here!” Zhao shi was surprised.
The person who came was Wang Shitou who had a good relationship with the fifth Han family.
Wang Shitou smiled naively and said, “I heard this morning that your four rooms were split up, so I came to see you and see if I could help.”
“Don’t bother you, we’re all done.” Zhao shi smiled.
“I brought something along the way when you split up, maybe you can use it!” Wang Shitou said, handing over the things in the bamboo basket.
There is a small can of rapeseed oil in it, and a can of salt. Plus a handful of greens and ten eggs.
“Brother Shitou, what are you doing? Send us so many things, we can’t ask for it!” Zhao shi waved his hand and put the basket back in front of Wang Shitou, wanting to return the things to him.
Although the things that Wang Shitou brought are not particularly good, they are also relatively valuable to the countryside. Especially oil and eggs. That is, my family is reluctant to eat it on weekdays, let alone give it away.
“Brother and sister, why are you being polite to me? Now that the fourth child is gone, as his good brother, I rationally take care of your family for him. These are not good things, they belong to your own family. Just accept it!”
“Brother Stone, I have your kindness, but I can’t ask for anything!” Zhao shi insisted and shook his head.
Han Yingxue, who was behind the Zhao family, came over.
This thing is a good thing, it can solve their urgent needs, how can they not.
Han Yingxue made a basket from Zhao’s hand and gave Wang Shitou a big smile. “Uncle Stone, we have accepted the things, thank you! I will definitely repay you in the future!”
This sentence was said by Han Yingxue from the bottom of his heart.
Nothing is icing on the cake, but warmth in the snow is rare.
Since Wang Shitou can deliver things at this time, it shows his character.
“Brother and sister, Xue Er is right!” Wang Shitou smiled knowingly. As if remembering something, he pointed to Han Yingxue and asked Zhao’s family, “Brother and sister, is Xue’er alright?”
“Well, okay! Not stupid!”
“It’s great, the fourth child is blessed by the spirit of the sky!” Wang Shitou was also sincerely happy for Han Yingxue.
Wang Shitou chatted with the Zhao family for a while, then left.
The house has been tidy up, Han Yingxue started to prepare lunch.
“Xue’er, let me cook! You’ve been busy all morning, go and rest!” Zhao shi said softly.
“Mother, it’s you who should rest, you’re still pregnant, I’ll make lunch!”
Han Yingxue stared at Zhao’s big belly. In modern times, people who are about to give birth, how could they still manage housework.
