There is Room For Abandoned Women In the 1980s

Chapter 48 I want to earn my own work points from now on

 In a bowl of pimple soup, each child gets a chopstick, and there is basically nothing left in the bowl.

Seeing that the pimple soup was actually distributed into their own bowls, the children widened their eyes in disbelief and glanced at their grandma secretly. She did not dare to eat without saying anything.

There was a poached egg at the bottom of the bowl. Zheng Xinyue wanted to use chopsticks to split it and give it to the children. Gao Guilan couldn't bear it anymore, but she didn't dare to shout loudly. She just reached out and grabbed the bowl.

 “You can eat the eggs.”

There was anxiety in her voice. There were only two chickens at home, but they didn't lay eggs every day. There were more than twenty eggs in the cabinet in her house, all of which were used to replenish the body of her daughter.

 “Okay, I’ll eat.”

Zheng Xinyue didn’t dare to push the envelope any further. She finally made some progress today and was able to give the children a bite of white gnocchi.

Several children looked at grandma timidly, can they eat it or not?

"What are you looking at? Eat quickly and work more after eating. This is all given to you by your aunt. Remember her."

Seeing five pairs of eyes looking at her, Gao Guilan brainwashed them with a straight face. Since they had eaten something, they had to appreciate it.

 “Hello.”

This time it was not forced by grandma, but the children shouted from the bottom of their hearts.

 Auntie has meat to eat when she comes back, and she can also eat white gnocchi, which is better than what she eats during the Chinese New Year!

The children took a mouthful of the pimple soup, and their faces all turned red with excitement. It was so delicious.

Zheng Xinyue's nose felt sour when she saw it, and she secretly swore in her heart: Children, I won't let you call me aunt in vain, I will let you eat with white noodles and make eggs.

 After dinner, the two daughters-in-law cleared away the dishes and the men prepared to go to work in the fields.

Gao Guilan glared at the five children with a sullen face and assigned them tasks:

“Da Ya chopped the wild vegetables and fed them to the chickens. Er Ya swept the ground in the house. You guys swept the yard. After you finished your work, you went to the back mountain to dig wild vegetables. You must not be lazy after eating white gnocchi.”

Zheng Xinyue blinked and suddenly thought of the bowl of sugar water in the backyard. After running out, luckily she didn't get rattled by the chicken.

She came back with sugar water and saw her mother walking out with her two daughters-in-law. All three of them wore scarves covering most of their heads and faces. They were also wearing long-sleeved clothes and trousers, wrapped tightly.

“Xinyue, you go to the house and take a nap, and wait for mom to come back at noon to cook roe deer meat for you.”

Gao Guilan looked at her daughter with a loving look on her face and had no intention of letting her go to work in the fields.

 “Okay, I’ll wait for you.”

Zheng Xinyue agreed obediently. She originally wanted to work in the fields with her, but now she had other ideas and decided not to go today.

Li Xiuqin and Li Xiuli have already accepted their fate, but in their hearts they are envious that their sister-in-law can still sleep at home without going to the ground. Unlike them, no one welcomes them at their parents' home, and they are also affected by their fate when they go to their husband's home. Therefore, Lucky Star is different from them.

Zheng Xinyue sent her mother away and raised her voice to shout to the carrot heads who were working hard: "Put down what you are doing and come to my aunt."

When several children heard her aunt's shouting, they all obediently gathered around her. They looked up at her aunt with their big, clear eyes. They were no longer as afraid as before, and their eyes were filled with admiration for her.

　　Zheng Xinyue was a little embarrassed to be seen. She was a free-wheeling child. Why did the children admire her?

 Children have the cleanest minds and are also the easiest to be satisfied. As long as they are not overly pampered, they are unlikely to grow crooked.

Zheng Xinyue waved to the smallest hammer, squatted in front of him, handed the bowl to his mouth, and said softly, "Take a sip."

Tie Zhui obediently lowered his head and took a sip. He stared at his aunt with wide eyes and was reluctant to swallow the mouthful of sugary water in his mouth.

 “Does it taste good?”
