"Da Shu bullied Da Bao, tried to steal Da Bao's new clothes, and made Da Bao bleed," she said.
Zhao Tianhai hadn't returned from work yet at noon when he heard about it.
He ca straight ho and thrashed Da Shu, thinking about what Laosan would do when he ca back and learned of this, he was furious.
Da Shu cried out in pain as he was being beaten, Da Shu's mother tried to pull him away, but she was stopped by her father-in-law, Captain Zhao.
Brother Zhao and Sister-in-law Zhao did not intervene; this couple had seen their nephew beating up their son before.
It was not just a beating for Da Shu; he didn't get lunch either and ended up crying himself to sleep on the bed.
Da Shu's mother was even more heartbroken for her son, she herself still felt so pain from being beaten by Laosan's Wife.
This beating wasn't going to be in vain, she had to retaliate.
Even her own husband was of no help, he just listened to his father and beat Da Shu.
"Ti to eat..."
"Brother Xiao Hai, why did you hit Da Shu so hard?"
Zhao Tianhai glanced at his wife, "You must have forgotten about Laosan."
Laosan?
Her brother-in-law.
Da Shu had once stolen Da Bao's food, and when the brother-in-law saw it, he imdiately thrashed Da Shu.
At that ti, she had made a scene, her brother-in-law dodged her but ended up beating her husband.
This made her gasp in shock.
"You useless thing!"
She hadn't been shy about hitting her second brother.
"Who wears new clothes not during the holidays and still shows off?"
There were so few cloth tickets each year, not even enough to make a new set of clothes for the family for the entire year.
Yun Xiaoxiao was troubled over the afternoon al.
With eggplant on hand, what delicious dish could she make?
Sothing simple and convenient?
How about noodles?
Dumplings?
Half-finished products would do.
But the two little ones asked her why she hadn't gone to town to sell at; where did the at co from?
Children may be young, but sotis they're pretty clever.
Maybe stir-fry so oil-braised eggplant, then make so egg noodles.
"Brother, I'm hungry again," Xiao Bao said, sitting on the small bed, speaking to his brother who had also woken up but hadn't left the room.
He had eaten a lot for breakfast, and his mother had just given them milk powder and egg cake, but he was hungry again.
"Let's go see Mom."
Da Bao wasn't as scared of Yun Xiaoxiao as he had been yesterday; they had eaten many delicious things from yesterday till now.
Seeing his brother get off the bed, Xiao Bao also slid off, squatted down to put on his cloth shoes, and followed behind his brother.
"Mom..."
Yun Xiaoxiao was stirring the pot when she heard soone calling her; she turned around to see Da Bao and Xiao Bao.
"Why are you here?"
"I'll help Mom with the fire," said Da Bao.
Yun Xiaoxiao felt helpless and wanted to say it wasn't necessary, but Da Bao had already skillfully started the fire.
"What do you like to eat?"
She asked the children for their preferences, otherwise, she wouldn't know what else to cook.
There were too many choices online; she could pick sothing that didn't require refrigeration, but they didn't have a fridge, and many items couldn't be stored for long.
"I like at," Xiao Bao said, sitting on the long bench by the fire, much livelier than yesterday.
Eating at?
Children liked to eat at, especially in an era when it required tickets, wanting at was not an issue.
"And you, Da Bao?"
"Being full is good enough."
Just not being hungry was enough.
This request was sowhat modest.
Both were still young and couldn't eat many things.
Moreover, they were at an age where they might accidentally say sothing that could arouse suspicion in others.
"Da Bao, Xiao Bao, when you go out to play, you can't tell anyone that we have milk powder and egg cakes at ho. What if they co to steal our food?"
