The little cook in the book has fallen asleep

Chapter 13 Going up the mountain to buy goods

Cheng Yu pointed to the door, and the old lady immediately understood what she meant, and at this moment Cheng Xiaoba's voice was heard.

"Sister, are you done?" Cheng Xiaoba has been sitting outside for more than ten minutes. His sister is so slow. He really wants to pull his sister to pick up eggs.

"Okay..." Cheng Yu's soft voice came, and then Cheng Xiaoba saw that Cheng Yu had been led out of the room by the old lady.

Cheng Xiaoba stood up from the stool, then walked over and took Cheng Yu's hand to go to the chicken coop to pick up eggs. Old Mrs. Cheng could only follow behind the two children helplessly.

After a while, the sound of chickens crowing "Cluck! Cluck!" came from the Cheng family, along with the excited cheers of two children.

"Eggs!" Cheng Xiaoba showed off two eggs to Old Lady Cheng, and then put the eggs into his clothes pocket. He picked them up!

"Egg!" Cheng Yu handed the egg in her hand to the old lady. She said it word by word on purpose. After all, she was only ten months old.

Cheng Yu was able to walk very early (she can now walk steadily). If she spoke any earlier, the villagers would have thought she was a monster and burned her to death.

"Mom, I'm back!" Cheng Shang's voice came from the yard. Cheng Yu immediately handed all the eggs he had picked up to his grandmother, and then ran towards the yard.

"Dad, Dad!" Cheng Yu shouted as he ran. As soon as he reached the yard, he was picked up by Cheng Shang.

"Oh, it's daddy's little daughter coming to greet him!" After saying that, Cheng Shang gave Cheng Yu a big kiss on the face.

"Dirty!" Cheng Yu pushed Cheng Shang's face away, then wiped it with his little hands in disgust.

This caused everyone in the yard to burst into laughter, and the old lady also watched the interaction between the father and son with a smile.

"Mom, let's clean up the vegetable garden too!" The three sisters-in-law of the Cheng family immediately shouted to her in unison.

"I'm not deaf, I can hear you!" Then they saw the old lady standing in front of them with her eyes rolled up, her tone sounding helpless and doting, holding a large-leaf banyan leaf folded into a triangle in her hand.

The three sisters-in-law chuckled and stood obediently in front of the old lady.

"Xiaowu and Xiaoliu, go to the fields and call your grandfather to come back for breakfast." Old Mrs. Cheng said to her two grandsons, not throwing away the large-leaf banyan leaf in her hand.

The three sisters-in-law of the Cheng family noticed something was wrong and stepped forward to take a look. Wow, there were broken eggs in the leaves. If you looked closely, the eggshells were still inside!

"Xiao Ba dropped it, let him eat it himself!" It turned out that when Cheng Xiao Ba saw his sister running outside, he also rushed out in a hurry. Cheng Yu put all the eggs in his grandmother's hands, but Cheng Xiao Ba greedily put the eggs in his pocket.

The worst thing was that Cheng Xiaoba fell and the egg broke into pieces in his bag. In order to teach him a lesson, the old lady broke off a large-leafed banyan tree, took out the egg with the shell and put it in the leaf and brought it back, intending to steam it for him to eat with both the egg liquid and the eggshell.

"Mom, let me help you light the fire!" Lin Pan'er wanted to see her little bully get humiliated, so she immediately showed her courtesy to the old lady and made the fire in the pig feed pot burn vigorously. In the end, the egg custard smelled like pig feed.

Cheng Yu was smiling like a little fox in Cheng Shang's arms. Oh no! There was another good show to watch. Myna didn't know that he was about to get into trouble!

So, when the whole family was eating porridge and steamed buns, Cheng Xiaoba was still proud of having egg custard to eat. However, it pricked his neck (the eggshell) as soon as he ate it. He did not want to eat it anymore.

"Cheng Zhiyi, you have to remember! People can't be greedy. The eggs belong to everyone. If you break them, no one will have anything to eat.

And now you see, you don’t want to eat the egg custard with the shells, so everyone eats it with you, so the mistakes you make will eventually involve everyone in our family!" Old Mrs. Cheng pointed at everyone (the four Chengs, the father and son, and Xiaowu, Xiaoliu, and Xiaoqi), who were eating the egg custard full of egg shells that Cheng Xiaoba couldn’t finish. Of course, Xiaoba also had a small spoonful in his bowl.

The men in the Cheng family said that although the egg custard was nutritious and the amount steamed was not large, it was a bit prickly on the neck.

Then the men/boys of the Cheng family looked at their wives/mothers and wondered where everyone in the Cheng family was!

As soon as Cheng Xiaoba heard his grandmother calling his full name, he knew he had done something wrong. Then he saw his grandfather, father, uncles and brothers helping him finish the prickly egg custard, and he felt very guilty.

"I'm sorry, grandma, grandpa, dad... brothers, I will be more careful in the future!" Cheng Xiaoba is almost three years old, and this is the right time for a good education.

Everyone in the Cheng family nodded in satisfaction. Although this boy was a little naughty, he was smart.

"Second brother, have you given the things to your and eldest brother's parents-in-law? Are you sure your third brother's wife doesn't want to bring some over to your parents' home?" Old Master Cheng asked Cheng Shang and Lin Pan'er, holding the porridge.

"I left all the things at Yunniang's house, but the Li and Lin families are next to each other, so I didn't dare to go there openly, so I asked my mother-in-law to deliver it." Cheng Shang answered while drinking porridge.

My brother's sister-in-law doesn't allow his family to send anything to the Lin family, but my eldest sister-in-law and my brother's sister-in-law's family are neighbors, so he doesn't dare to go to the Li family directly, for fear of affecting my brother's sister-in-law!

"Dad, don't take it. They can't bear these good things. And if they knew that the Cheng family would get benefits, they would definitely come over. Then our family would not be at peace." Lin Pan'er knew the nature of her mother's family. It would be good for their Cheng family to stay away from the Lin family.

"Okay, old woman, give one or two taels of silver to the third room later. It's settled!" Old Master Cheng said to Old Woman Cheng. When he saw that the third daughter-in-law wanted to say something, he immediately stopped her from speaking.

Although the bowl of water was not level, he tried his best not to spill it.

After the family happily finished their breakfast, the men went to the tool room to take out all the tools and backpacks, while the women went into the kitchen to make some pancakes, fill some boiled water, and prepare to go up the mountain.

This time, all the men and women in the Cheng family carried backpacks. Even Cheng Xiaoba and Cheng Yu had a small one, which Grandpa Cheng had made for the two children during the winter.

"Let's go!" The whole family, young and old, went out together.

"Tie Lin, are you going up the mountain?" asked a white-haired old man.

"Yes, the work in the fields has been almost done, and we are running out of firewood, so I was thinking of having the whole family go up the mountain to chop some firewood." Grandpa Cheng's answer was perfect.

"Yes, Third Uncle, you don't know, our family has a large population, so we have to dig more wild vegetables to save, otherwise there will be no vegetables to eat during the spring plowing." Old Mrs. Cheng immediately responded that they were going up the mountain today and were all wearing patched clothes.

"Let's go, let's go to the mountain to play!" Cheng Xiaoba carried a small backpack, let go of Lin Pan'er's hand, and walked forward yelling.

"Xiao Ba! Stop right there! Uncle San, I'm sorry, my grandson ran away..." After saying goodbye, he took his family to catch up with the mother and son who were running happily in front.

The Cheng family members looked better and better, and were much fatter than before. This could be seen from the little kid running the most happily in front. So the Cheng family members were blocked at the end of the village and asked all kinds of questions.

"Pan'er, this is a good idea!" When Old Lady Cheng caught up with Lin Pan'er, she praised her third daughter-in-law.

"Actually, the idea was proposed by Xiaoba and Xiaojiu!" Lin Pan'er saw that her two sisters-in-law were looking at her with admiration and felt embarrassed to take credit for the children's work.

So she mentioned Xiao Ba and Xiao Nannan. She didn't know how she understood Cheng Yu's baby talk at that time, but she understood it anyway.

"Let's go... up the mountain!" Cheng Yu blurted out the words one by one, and then thought to himself, "Let's go up the mountain to buy goods!"

The four people who heard her inner thoughts almost choked to death on their saliva. They immediately started coughing violently and only recovered after drinking several sips of water.

What should I do if my little girl is too fierce? Help!
