Chapter 149: Footbath, singing, and painting

"Dong dong!"

The sound of bicycle bells rang out in the courtyard.

"Brother Jianguo, I'm here to deliver the bicycle."

A voice sounded outside the door.

When Chen Feng walked out, Chen Jianguo had already run out.

"Xiao Xie, it's you, thank you for your help."

Xie Zhenyu shook his head and said, "How can that be possible? I just need to walk a few steps less and go home earlier."

Chen Jianguo said to Chen Feng: "Xiao Feng, go get three salted duck eggs."

Because Chen Feng "picked up" a lot of salted duck eggs last month, more than a dozen a day, and the cumulative number exceeded more than a hundred, the old lady pickled a lot of wild duck eggs.

Generally, salted duck eggs can be eaten in 7-15 days.

The time is just right!

However, Chen Feng couldn't get used to the pickled eggs which were so salty that he had to drink a few sips of juice.

"Brother, please don't. I can't bear this!" Xie Zhenyu shook his head repeatedly.

"What's there to be ashamed of?" Chen Jianguo handed him a cigarette, took his hand, and said with a smile: "This is also thanks to my nephew's luck. He picked up a lot of them in the park. If you had come a few days earlier, I really wouldn't be able to do anything."

"It's just three wild duck eggs, how much are they worth?"

He took out three yellow mud duck eggs from the pottery jar in the kitchen and handed them to Xie Zhenyu.

Chen Feng also knew Xie Zhenyu, the latter of whom used to be Chen Jianguo's follower, similar to the master-apprentice relationship in a factory.

But Chen Jianguo asked him to call him brother instead of master.

The master-disciple relationship is too important, and Chen Jianguo doesn't want to bear the brunt of it.

"Remember, don't take any of them home. There are so many of you, there won't be enough for anyone to eat. Give two to your partner, along with the meat, to avoid your father-in-law's family saying anything about you. Hide this in your pocket and save it for your lunch."

Chen Jianguo ordered.

Xie Zhenyu awkwardly held up five ounces of wild boar meat and said, "Brother Jianguo, this is not good."

"Not good at all!" Chen Jianguo taught him, "You pay 10 yuan a month and eat two meals at the station. Isn't that enough?"

"Think more about yourself and convince your father-in-law's family as soon as possible. Getting engaged and married is the most important thing."

Chen Feng remained silent.

Different people have different families. Since his second uncle said so, he must have his reasons.

After Xie Zhenyu left, Chen Feng did not ask too many questions.

"Big pot, wash it, and drink the juice."

The little girl, covered in water, came out of the kitchen happily and asked Chen Feng for payment for "washing dishes".

Chen Feng walked over with a smile and carried his sister back to the room.

Chen Hao quickly came in with a basin of hot water.

The three siblings sat on stools around the basin, holding soda bottles in their hands and drinking grape juice. They took off their shoes and put their feet in.

"Sister, come on, let's go!" Chen Hao said happily.

"Yeah!" Chen Li said happily.

"boom!"

The two soda bottles clinked together, and Chen Hao and Chen Li imitated the way adults drink beer, taking big gulps.

"Hee hee hee!"

The little girl was very naughty, and her little feet kept splashing in the water.

Three feet were crowded in the basin, splashing water everywhere.

Her mother is washing her feet, so she can't be so carefree, otherwise she will get a spanking.

Soaking your feet in hot water in winter is the most common activity in this era.

As a half-baked Chinese medicine practitioner and the "miracle doctor" of the courtyard, the old man insisted that soaking the feet in winter was good for dispelling the cold and warming the blood, and he even specially prepared medicine for soaking.

But Chen Feng insisted on not agreeing.

The original body believed in the old man's reputation as a miracle doctor when he was a child. The admiring look in his eyes would make the old man happy for several days every time.

But Chen Feng came and saw it at a glance.

He doesn't treat serious illnesses and pushes minor ones to the hospital. On weekdays, he just takes the pulse and says a few words of comfort, similar to a psychotherapist.

It just so happens that the old man is very good at this. He understands the depression and stress of poor people very well, and can help them relieve their worries with just a few words.

But Chen Feng was able to take his younger brother and sister and escape the death of the little white mice, but Chen Jianguo and the others had no way of doing it.

Look, the whole house is filled with the smell of medicine because of the hot water with Chinese medicine.

"Have you washed it yet?"

Zhou Qing walked in and just saw Chen Feng wiping Chen Li's feet with a rag.

"Mom, I'm not going back. I want to sleep with the big pot."

The little girl said seriously while holding the soda bottle.

"okay."

Zhou Qing agreed immediately and said with a smile: "Xiao Feng, take good care of Lily and don't let her wet the bed."

Chen Feng's face was dark, and he was too weak to complain.

"Chen Hao, take your sister to pee later."

Chen Li drank half a bottle of juice. If she wet the bed in the middle of the night, he would be in trouble!

"Okay." Chen Hao went out with the foot basin.

At night, Chen Li lay on Chen Feng's belly, humming a song imitating Da Guo. Chen Hao was on the other side, and he was determined to sleep with his elder brother and younger sister.

It's still past eight o'clock and I can't sleep at all.

"The white dragon horse, with its hooves pointing west, carries Tang Sanzang and his three disciples on the road to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures..."

"Big pot, I want to learn."

The little girl thought it sounded very nice and kept pestering Chen Feng.

"Okay, I'll sing a line and you sing a line."

“Yeah.”*2.

"White Dragon Horse."

"White Dragon Mother."

"Hooves facing west."

"Ti Chao Xi."

Hearing the singing of one adult and two children in Chen Feng's room, the adults smiled at each other.

Chen Feng only taught her a dozen times before the little girl fell asleep and stopped singing. On the contrary, Chen Hao was full of energy.

"Brother, I feel like I've almost learned it. Can I sing it for you?"

"go to bed!"

Chen Feng said unhappily.

Chen Hao felt very disappointed that he was not given the chance to show off his singing skills.

It doesn’t matter, he will go to school to sing tomorrow.

This song is so nice!

Probably because of the singing last night, when Chen Feng woke up in the morning, he saw Chen Hao and Chen Li lying on the desk and scribbling on the straw paper with pencils.

Pencils of this era were very thick and the pencil leads were also very thick.

The two little guys were drawing with pencils while humming the song they learned last night.

Chen Feng got up and walked over to take a look.

not bad.

Chen Li's painting skills have been upgraded from postmodern art to cultural enlightenment impressionism. He can already recognize what animal is being painted.

As for Chen Hao.

"Chen Hao, that's good. If you can't find a job in the future, you can go to a publishing house to draw picture books." Chen Feng joked.

This little brother imitated the painting in the picture book, and he drew the monkey in it quite well.

"Really, big brother?"

Chen Hao said excitedly: "I will work hard and draw a lot of comic books in the future!"

Chen Feng: “…”

This fool, why would he want to be an artist when there are so many other options available?

Artists are all pills after the wind starts blowing!

"If you dare to draw in class, I'll beat you to death!"

Chen Feng gave a warning.

Chen Hao shrank his neck. The strict big brother was back!

For breakfast, adults had porridge with salted eggs, while children had porridge with fried eggs and small yellow croaker slices.

Zhou Qinghong braised a white pomfret, added a salted egg and a bowl of porridge, and asked Chen Feng to take it to Guan Yushan.

"Mom, this is too good!" Chen Feng shook his head and said, "He's not my master. If he's so nice right away, what will happen in the future? What if he keeps pestering me? Will I still have to support him?"

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Your grandfather ordered this person not to be that kind of person."

"This is my first official visit, so I have to give you something nice."

Chen Feng took the lunch box, said goodbye to the little girl, and rode his bicycle to Guan Shan's house.
