Girlfriend's Fortune

Chapter 124 Chapter 120 Three: Zhang Donggua

Zhang Donggua agreed honestly, without saying too much.

There is still a long time before lunch, and I can't just sit still. Old Deng took the stone egg from Zhang Hugua, who was impatient with the child, and Zhang Hugua took the hatchet, yelling and pulling Zhang Donggua up the mountain It's firewood.

While pulling Zhang Donggua up the mountain, he said in his mouth: "Since Lihua helped the Song family to work, I have a sore back and backache from chopping firewood. Second brother, you know that I haven't done much work since I was a child." These."

Zhang Donggua didn't know until he came back that Aqiu had built a tea shed and hired Lihua to do the work. The wages were paid to the family for twenty cents a day, but there was no need to do the work at home.

He was naturally very happy.

Hearing Zhang Hugua's complaints about being tired, he didn't say much, just said: "I'm at home today, I'll go back with more bundles of firewood."

Zhang Donggua, who is used to working, has layers of calluses on his hands. He is also used to it, and he works very quickly.

The one who just worked hard did exactly what he said, and when he returned home at noon, he dragged several large bundles of firewood home.

Fortunately, Zhang Hugua had a free time, so he could just follow behind with a hatchet.

Old Deng was holding the stone egg and watching in the upper room, the emotion in his eyes was inexplicable.

Old Dou Zhang at the side also saw it, but he smiled and said: "This second child has been like this since he was a child, he just can't sit still, let him come back to rest, he has to find a job to do it himself."

Old Deng said coldly: "He is born to work hard, if he doesn't do it, who will do it?"

Zhang Laodou listened and said: "Ms. Chrysanthemum, I know you don't like the second and second couple, but today, you can't swear at others to show face. We are still waiting for him to go back and talk to the steward and borrow money."

Old Deng continued to snort coldly, "Who knows, what if it doesn't work!"

Zhang Laodou was silent for a while, and then said leisurely: "If you can't borrow it, you can only think of other ways."

Old Deng's heart tightened when he heard this, and he quickly glanced at Zhang Laodou who was thinking thoughtfully out of the corner of his eye.

Zhang Laodou sent a message, the second child came back rarely, and cooked a few more dishes at noon, Miao and her daughter were busy with work, and there was really no room for the plates to be served on the table.

One large bowl of clear soup and porridge for one person, one bowl of boiled long beans, one plate of pounded old eggplant with chili, one bowl of pumpkin lumps, one plate of roasted pepper skins, and one plate of boiled loofah.

There are really many samples.

Zhang Laodou also kept telling Zhang Donggua to eat more, eat more, he was going to be full, and it was so hard to do long-term work in Cheng's family.

Zhang Donggua looked at the porridge that was so clear that there were not a few grains of rice, and the table was not green with any oily water, and murmured in his heart, working in the Cheng's house is not hard. There is white rice for every meal, and a big man can eat two full bowls , Every meal also has a meat dish, which is indispensable.

But he didn't say anything, holding the bowl and still drinking gurglingly.

After dinner, even though the sun was scorching and the insects refused to move, Zhang Donggua still had to go to Chengjiazhuang. Today's leave is for nothing, but he had to go back early, or it would be funny.

Before going out, Zhang Laodou had to ask Zhang Donggua's father, his kind son, to tell him to ask him when he returned, so that he could ask Zhang Hugua to listen to the news tomorrow.

Zhang Donggua responded one by one, went out, and went down the gentle slope, but instead of going back to the path, he left the village and took the official road, along the long river.

At a glance, I saw the tea shed on the edge of the river beach.

The room is hot, there are no guests inside, Song and Qiu are sitting at the table to rest for a while.

Zhang Donggua strode in, with a heartfelt smile on his face, "Auntie! Lihua! Aqiu!"

When the three people in the tea shed heard the sound, they turned around and saw Zhang Donggua, and they were also very happy.

"Winter melon, it's so hot, come in and sit!"

"Father, have you eaten yet?"

"Uncle Winter Melon, sit down!"

Song Qiu hurriedly cut a piece of iced watermelon and scooped up a bowl of cold shrimp.

But Zhang Donggua knew that it was for money, so he refused to eat anything, only said that he had eaten the cold shrimp that Lihua sent back just now, and that was fine, and he kept these for money.

It was old Yuan who had to let him pick up the watermelon and eat it, so as to relieve the fever, but he couldn't hold back old Yuan, so he took it.

Zhang Donggua talked with old Yuan Shi for a while before turning his head and asking Song Qiu a few words first, and then Lihua.

He has always been honest, he can't say any nice words out of his mouth, he just asks some simple questions about how are you doing recently, whether you ate well and slept well.

But when people listen to it, they can feel full of deep concern.

This kind of fatherly love that doesn't talk about it has always been the heaviest and the most sour.

Zhang Lihua also kept chattering about how her parents were doing.

Song Qiu looked at this tanned man who looked like 40 years old in his early thirties, but his eyes were extraordinarily bright and his face was full of smiles, and he felt sore in his heart.

It turned out that Aqiu's father left early, and she had eaten Chen's milk, so she also regarded this man who was good to him as her father in her heart.

After eating a piece of iced watermelon, Zhang Donggua felt comfortable all over his body. He looked at Song Qiu with a smile all over his face, "Aqiu is still capable. Lihua will follow you, and your aunt and I can rest assured. We are not at home, and Lihua will trouble you and your aunt to watch." gone."

Song Qiu waved his hands again and again, saying no trouble, it should be done.

As he said that, Zhang Donggua carefully took out an oiled paper bag from his arms, "This is from the Cheng family, every long-term worker has it, and Li Huaniang and I don't like to eat it, so we kept it. Come on, Ah Qiu, Li Hua Take it and eat it, I heard that this thing is rare."

The oiled paper bag was opened, revealing the balls covered with hoarfrost inside. I don’t know what it is, it should be sugar. Because of the weather and the reason of wrapping it close to the body, the hoarfrost has melted a little and stuck to the oiled paper. superior.

Zhang Donggua seemed to have just seen this, and smiled naively, "So it's not like this, it looks good, it looks like glutinous rice balls, I didn't put it away, it melted, but it should still be edible , Aqiu, please try it quickly."

Song Qiu nodded, and took the lead to take one and fed it into his mouth. As expected, it melted, and his hand was a little sticky, but it was really sweet.

Zhang Lihua also ate one, and the two girls smiled and nodded at Zhang Donggua, "It's delicious! It's so sweet!"

Zhang Donggua burst into laughter, "It's good as long as it's delicious, take it and eat slowly."

After all, he couldn't stay for long, so he looked at old Yuan and said, "Auntie, then I have to go now, you pay attention to Auntie, I will come back to see you when you are free."

Old Yuan Shi nodded, then suddenly looked at Song Qiu and said, "Aqiu, you took Lihua and took Xiao Hei to eat some grass on the grassy slope opposite, where the land is also shady."

Well, this point calls them to lead the mule to feed the grass.

As soon as Song Qiu heard it, she knew that her grandma was deliberately dismissing them.

She wondered what she and Lihua couldn't listen to, but she didn't ask too much, took the oiled paper candy, and called Zhang Lihua to go with her.

It wasn't until the two of them led the mule out of the tea shed and went to the opposite side that the old Yuan looked at Zhang Donggua and said, "Your mother knew that you would definitely come here before you go back today, so last night I met you I’ve spoken, listen to me talking to you slowly.”
