After her eldest son left the courtyard, Shao's mother lit her daughter's head.

"Your eldest brother has relented and found people from the city for you this time. You have to change your ways."

"Even Li Dong knows that you are pampered at home, which shows that your reputation outside is not good."

"Who doesn't ask about your daughter-in-law before seeing her? After hearing about your temper, would anyone dare to marry her?"

Shao Haiyan was unconvinced, "Isn't it my eldest brother who ruined our family's reputation?"

"you?"

Shao's mother nodded at her daughter, "You are really getting stupider and stupider. If your eldest brother finds you a husband, then they will know who your eldest brother is."

"When people come to the countryside to find a wife, the first choice is a low bride price, but the second choice is if the girl is capable or has a good temper."

"Li Dong still has money to give me pictures. What can you do to attract people from the city?"

"As long as a city man comes here to find a wife, which girl from dozens of miles around won't be tempted?"

"Who are you more beautiful than? Who are you more capable? Who are you gentler than? How many times have I told you before? Which time did you listen to me?"

"Li Dong was able to suppress your father, me, and the Zhang family with just one move."

"What can you rely on? After you married into the city, did you still rely on your father to protect you?"

Seeing her daughter lowering her head and saying nothing, Shao's mother sighed and continued,

"To be honest, even if Li Dong has no money, if you put her together for me to choose, I would rather choose her as your daughter-in-law. That is the person who can shoulder the burden of the family."

"mother?"

Shao Haiyan raised her head in surprise, "You mean, I'm not as good as Fatty Li, Li Dong?"

"Correct!"

Shao's mother nodded, "Her reputation is very bad, worse than your eldest brother's reputation. But those are all passed down by others, and I have never been exposed to them."

"When I went to propose marriage for the first time, I didn't see much difference between her and the rumors."

"The second time we came to visit, she came forward and we talked about her marriage. I think she has no father or mother, so it's right to get some benefits for herself. She also won two big things."

"After the third time, she received us..."

"Today, the fourth time we met, in order not to be bullied, she talked nonsense and framed others, and she risked her life at all costs. These are her abilities to support a family."

"So, I can like her, but I don't like you, a person who can only cause trouble and never settle things."

"Father~"

Shao Haiyan turned to look at Shao's father, "You were very angry with Li Dong today. Do you also think that I am not as good as Li Dong?"

Amid his daughter's expectations and his wife's glare, Shao's father chose to tell the truth.

"As a daughter-in-law, it doesn't matter what you do, I'll just coax you. As a daughter-in-law, I don't like you."

"father?"

Shao Haiyan was greatly shocked, "Then you can expect Li Dong to be your daughter-in-law?"

Father Shao nodded, "Compared to you, even if she has no money, I would still choose her as my daughter-in-law."

Shao Haiyan shook her head in disbelief, "Why?"

"Snapped!"

Mother Shao slapped her in the face, "I have been saying this for so long, and you still ask why? You are really like a pig."

……

Seeing Li Dong dragging the basket back, Grandpa Li, who was working in the fields, was surprised and ran onto the main road of the village, "Dabao, where is the bicycle?"

"lost."

"lost?"

Grandpa Li's presbyopic eyes widened in disbelief, "Why, why is this basket still there?"

"I'll ask you when you get home from work." Li Dong waved his hand to Grandpa Li and continued walking home.

As soon as Grandpa Li turned around, he saw a dozen members standing behind him. No wonder Dabao asked him to go home and ask questions later. These members were specifically watching their house.

As they entered the village, they were stopped by Li Hong, "Where are the bicycles?"

Li Dong looked her up and down several times, "It's different when you become a woman. Her charm is revealed."

"Come on, men are all animals that think with their lower bodies. If you tell him that he can't get out of bed, he will give up."

Li Hong didn't expect Li Dabao to speak so boldly, and her face turned red, "Li Dabao! You are a big girl."

"So what?"

Li Dong said nonchalantly, "Shouldn't a big girl know this? My wedding is coming soon, so it's normal to know this in advance."

As he spoke, he still approached Li Hong, "He is so weak, how about in bed? Can he satisfy you?"

"Pooh!"

Li Hong blushed and spat at her, turned around and ran back to her parents' home.

Li Dong dragged the basket and continued home.

Li Yan followed behind her again, "Sister Dabao, where is your bicycle?"

"lost."

Li Dong really gave in to these people's curiosity, "If you have something to say, don't worry about my bicycle."

Li Yan looked around and then said, "Li Meili went next door. The work bell rang in the afternoon, and Li Hong went back to her parents' house, so she went."

Li Dong stopped in surprise, "What now? Zhao Zhiqing didn't go to work?"

Unexpectedly, Li Dong stopped suddenly, and Li Yan bumped directly into Li Dong's thigh, "It should still be there now. After getting married, Zhao Zhiqing stopped working."

Is there any marriage leave?

Even if there was wedding and funeral leave in the 70s and [-]s, it was only three days, right?

It's already the fifth day, are you planning to eat soft food at home?

Li Dong turned around and lowered his head, "Go tell Li Hong."

Li Yan nodded, turned around and ran away.

Li Dong dragged the basket and continued walking.

"Dabao is back?"

Grandma Gao walked out of the gate of Gao's courtyard holding a bowl and saw Li Dong, "Huh? Where's the bicycle?"

Li Dong "..." Fortunately, the members did not get off work, otherwise, she would have been asked hundreds of times.

"lost."

"lost?"

Grandma Gao became anxious, "Where did you lose it? Ask your uncle Gao and others to find it."

"Don't look for it."

Li Dong shook his head, "Either I can't find it, or I'll be back tomorrow morning."

Will you be back tomorrow morning?

Grandma Gao doesn’t understand, but Dabao is very capable now, so she doesn’t understand and doesn’t ask, “Take these broad beans back and eat them, peel them off.”

Li Dong waved his hand, "Grandma Gao, take it back to Chenchen to eat."

With that said, she walked home.

Grandma Gao originally planned to send it to the Li family, how could she take it back just because of Li Dong's words?

She followed Li Dong into Li's house. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she shouted, "Sister Zhang, I'll give you some peeled broad beans."

Grandma Li, who was sewing clothes with her head down, raised her head. The first thing she saw was her eldest granddaughter dragging a basket back.

What about the bicycle?

Even if Xiaoru was left with Xiaoru from Matouling, it was impossible for Xiaoru not to send Dabao back, let alone ask Dabao to drag the basket back.

She put down the clothes she was sewing and waved to the children in the yard, "Okay, I've listened to it three times, let's go home."

Li Weimin also saw that Sister Dabao did not come back with the bicycle. He hurriedly asked his eldest brother and two cousins ​​to rush people to close the stall. He ran to Sister Dabao's side.

Li Dong put down the basket and said to Li Weimin, "Take two bottles of kerosene and the empty bottles in, and boil a pot of bath water for me."

She had to wash her hands, which smelled of kerosene and fire smoke.

Grandma Gao smiled at Grandma Li and said, "After all, it is Dabao who attracts people. I am such a big person, and I even raised my voice loudly when I walked in. Sister Zhang didn't even see me."

Seeing that her eldest granddaughter was in a relatively stable mood, Grandma Li called her neighbors into the main room.

"Looking at what you said, wasn't I shocked when Dabao came back with only a basket and no bicycle?"

"Dabao lost his words."

Grandma Gao sat down at the square table, "I told her to ask Uncle Gao and the others to look for it, but she said either she couldn't find it or she would be back tomorrow morning."

Grandma Li just paused, then sat down to accompany the old sisters, "Why are you sending broad beans here again? Aren't you going to sell them in the county?"

"Sell it and sell it."

Grandma Gao said with a smile, "Didn't I hear that Dabao likes to eat? So I peeled some off."

"Don't tell me, the scrambled eggs with broad bean kernels taste very special. I even took a few bites of them in the morning."

Grandma Li looked at the old sister who was completely different in spirit, "Looking at your tone and your mood, Chenchen is feeling better?"

"That's great."

Grandma Gao whispered, "I drank another bottle of soda. I could eat less than half a bowl of mushy noodles."

"I drank a lot of milk powder. Now that I'm almost done with it, I plan to grind soy milk for him."

Li Dong washed his hands and went into the house to get a change of clothes. When he heard Grandma Gao's words, he thought of the malted milk that grandma had put away. "Grandma, give Chenchen a bottle of that malted milk."

"Can't, can't."

Grandma Gao waved her hands, she didn't come here to ask for anything, she came to sincerely thank her.

Grandma Li got up and went to the east room, "Cuilian, don't leave. Otherwise, I will send you home."

Grandma Gao was in a dilemma. She could only ask the person in charge, "Dabao, Chenchen can eat noodles and eggs now. There is no need for these precious foods."

"fine."

Li Dong didn't care, "There's a lot of sugar in the malted milk. I gave it to Chenchen to make water and drink it sweetly. It was given to me by someone else. I don't like to drink it."

Grandma Gao looked at the four well-behaved boys in the courtyard, "Aren't there soldiers and civilians as well?"

"Oh, I forgot."

Li Dong really forgot that malted milk powder was already an obsolete product, and she didn't think it was rare anymore.

"Grandma, take out the other bottle and give it to Junzi Shoucheng and the others to drink."

Grandma Li came out with a net bag and took out a bottle for the old sisters.

"Take it back to Chenchen and tell Chenchen that Sister Dabao feels sorry for him and tells him to work hard. When he can leave, come here and listen to the story."

"well."

Grandma Gao's tears fell, "Chenchen can stand on the ground for a while, and he will be able to leave on his own soon."

"That's good."

Grandma Li felt that everything her eldest granddaughter had done was worth it. She saved a life and her merits were immeasurable.

"Take this opportunity to make it up to him in one go. People who are sick are most afraid of procrastination."

"Uh-huh."

Grandma Gao nodded, "I eat all the good things for him, and he doesn't eat sparingly like before. Sometimes when he's hungry, he even asks me to cook noodles for him."

Grandma Li agreed, "It will be better if you open your mouth and eat."

Grandma Gao wiped her tears and said, "Yes, I am happy to hear that he wants to eat. I am happy even when I am busy."

The old sisters chatted for a while and poured out broad bean kernels. Grandma Gao returned with an empty bowl and malted milk.
