They were the last ones to come back, and they felt that the buckets they were carrying were very heavy. As soon as they got on the bus, Li Juxian, who was sitting next to them, smelled a strong smell of meat. This meant they had made a lot of money.

"Oh~ Sister Chen and Sister Zhao have made a lot of money and bought some meat." Before the two of them could react, she opened the bucket that Erhe was carrying.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin were startled at first, but then they reacted and grabbed the lid of the bucket, closed it with a "snap", and moved the bucket next to them.

"What does it have to do with you whether we make money or not? Why are you rummaging around like that? Will you be responsible if something gets lost?"

"That's right, you live by the sea, you are so nosy. We won't share our profits with you. So, if we don't make any money, why don't you give us some money..."

Zheng Yuan just reacted quickly, so Li Juxian didn't turn it over, and only saw a pile of large bones on top. After being scolded by the two men, Li Juxian felt embarrassed and said stubbornly: "What's the big deal? How much is the meat and money of those bones? But you treat them like treasures."

Duan Minmin was so angry: "It's not worth much money and you can't even afford it, and you are jealous and resentful?"

Seeing that the three of them were looking at her angrily, Li Juxian didn't dare to say anything more, and just turned her back and whispered to the people next to her. The others were also curious about whether they had made a lot of money, but when they heard that it was just some big bone sticks, they stopped asking questions.

After this commotion, no one spoke loudly anymore. Zheng Yuan and the others were happy to be alone, and they closed their eyes and leaned against each other to rest.

When I got home, it was already afternoon. The gate was locked and the yard was quiet with no one around. It seemed that everyone had gone to the fields.

"Erhe, go to the field and get the key back." The two old men didn't want to run after getting up so early this morning.

Erhe responded, put down his things and ran to the field. After a while, he came back with the key, followed by Sanni who was carrying a large basket of pig grass.

Erhe happily handed the key to Zheng Yuan and stood beside him. Zheng Yuan took the key and flicked his head: "Why are you so happy? Don't you see your sister is carrying such a big basket of pig grass? Don't you want to go and get it?"

Erhe covered his forehead with his hands, looking aggrieved: "I went to the city today and just came back now, what's wrong with her carrying some pig grass!"

Hearing his unconvinced tone, Zheng Yuan was furious. He was asked to be the elder brother, and he didn't feel sorry for his sister carrying such a big basket. How did this old lady Zheng educate her children? The elder brother was not friendly and the younger brother was not respectful. The children were not united at all.

But she didn't get angry right away. The child also had dignity. If she taught him a lesson in front of Amin, he would inevitably become more rebellious. She thought that she would give the kids a lesson in ideology in the evening. The kids were not particularly deviant and would eventually change.

Erhe actually regretted what he said. Seeing that Zheng Yuan took the backpack from Sanni's back without saying anything, Erhe felt even more nervous.

Walking into the kitchen, Duan Minmin gave her a thumbs up: "Yuanbao, you are a parenting expert!"

Zheng Yuan glared at her and said, "If you have three well-behaved daughters, you naturally don't have to worry. I'm so envious of your three sensible daughters."

"You only see that they are well-behaved and sensible, but you don't know that my three daughters are terribly afraid of me and don't dare to get close to me. Sure enough, raising children has always been a big problem since ancient times." Duan Minmin also sighed.

The two have never raised children in modern times. Although they are twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, they both feel that they are still children. Their experience in raising children is limited to raising children through the Internet. They are also very troubled by the education of several children.

After spending some time together, they realized that none of the children had any serious problems.

Dahe is honest but a little timid; Erhe is active in thinking but impulsive and competitive; Sanni is thoughtful but too timid; Sizhu is spoiled too much by his mother and is a little lawless.

The three sisters in Duan Minmin's family are all good. Tao'er, as the eldest sister, is filial and sensible, Mei'er is smart and optimistic, and Xing'er is lively and lovely. It's just that because they are girls, their grandparents don't like them, their father doesn't love them, and their mother doesn't love them. Old Mrs. Duan also scolds them every day to vent her anger, so they are all a little timid and cowardly.

This would be ancient times, and there would be no problem if they continued to develop according to their original temperament. But since they were from modern times, and seeing the temperaments of the children and their mother's body, they always felt that they had an obligation to lead the children to a better path.

Of course, they don't expect to change overnight, just take it slowly. The children are watching the adults, as long as they are there, they can teach them slowly every day, and it will always influence them subtly.

The two of them didn't dwell on this matter. They sighed and called Sanni to light the fire and prepare dinner.

The two of them still haven't learned how to use the flint and steel.

Today Zheng Yuan planned to use some meat to make a stir-fried meat, smash the big bones and use them to cook the tender pumpkin, and then make a cold mixed bitter vegetable.

"Erhe, go to the slope and pick two pumpkins for mother! By the way, when you pass by the field, ask your elder brother and sister-in-law to come back early for dinner, and don't work too late." Zheng Yuan shouted at Erhe who was wandering in the yard, asking him to find something to do, otherwise this child would be very anxious.

Erhe was so anxious in the yard because he had just disobeyed Zheng Yuan, fearing that he would make his mother angry. In the past, if he dared to disobey his mother, she would definitely beat and scold him, but today, she didn't say a word to him. It was like a knife hanging over his head, and he felt even more uneasy.

Zheng Yuan's words seemed to be a signal for him to be acquitted. He quickly agreed and ran away.

There was porridge made of cornmeal and rice in the pot, and the bitter vegetable had been cleared out, so there was nothing to worry about for the time being.

"Yuanbao, I'll go back and take care of the two pigs first, so that Taoer and the others don't have to be busy for a long time when they come back." Seeing that everything was fine, Duan Minmin wanted to go home and clean up.

"Go ahead, come over early."

Erhe was rushing through the field holding two tender melons. Li Shuhua looked up and saw him: "Erhe, these melons are still tender, why did you pick them?"

"My mother said to pick them and cook them." Erhe agreed and ran, and then shouted to Dashu and the others, "Brother, mother told us to go back and eat early."

"We pick and eat the melons when they are still so small. Isn't that a waste of food?" Li Shuhua muttered.

Chen Youmao naturally heard it as well. Thinking about how Old Lady Duan's family had been mixing with the Second Brother's family these days, he felt a little worried. He thought, wouldn't the Second Brother's family have emptied the family savings by eating too much these days, and they even started picking the young melons to eat.

As the sun was setting, Zheng Yuan's meal was already on the table. Corn porridge, stir-fried pork, pumpkin stewed with bone sticks, and cold-mixed bitter melon filled the table.

As soon as they entered the house, the children were intoxicated by the aroma of meat in the yard. Since Zheng Yuan started cooking, the thing they look forward to most every day is eating. In the past, eating was just filling the stomach, but now eating can be called eating.

As soon as they entered the kitchen and saw the meat and bone soup on the table, their eyes lit up. The children, tired after a day of work, washed their hands and started to wolf down the food with chopsticks.

After dinner, Duan Minmin took out the candied haws like a magic trick and gave each child a bunch. She also took out the peaches she bought and put them on the table for the children to eat. The children felt like they were dreaming. Not only did they eat well, but they also had candied haws and peaches to eat, which they might not have been able to eat during the Chinese New Year. Who would have thought that just a dozen days ago they were still drinking wild vegetable porridge that irritated their throats.

For a moment, everyone, young and old, looked at Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin with admiration. It was so great that they stopped fighting.
