Stepmother Reborn: Dad, my mom hasn't hit me for three days

When Yaoyao came home this weekend, she looked listless, like an eggplant hit by frost.

Zhang Xiuhua looked at Baolin, who told her that Yaoyao's deskmate had passed away. She was the girl named Juanjuan, who had taken money to go to the capital for medical treatment but still could not be saved.

This incident was a bolt from the blue for students who have not yet entered society and are still in the ivory tower.

Especially since Juanjuan is Yaoyao's desk mate, they get along very well.

Yaoyao, who has always been sensitive, was suddenly devastated by her death and her mood became depressed.

Zhang Xiuhua went to talk to Yaoyao and took a piece of ice cream cake from her space.

This cake has never been taken out. Because it is not available at this time. But Yaoyao is just a country kid with limited experience. She only knows that this ice cream is cold and delicious.

"Yaoyao, we can't bring back the dead. But it's no use for you to dwell on your grief. We might as well turn our grief into strength. Cherish the people around you. Just like Baolin, Youcai, Dad and me."

"There are also Brother Jidong, Jilin and Zhuzhu." Yaoyao added.

"Yes! And them too!" Zhang Xiuhua touched her head, thought for a moment, and suggested something else, "Why don't we take a photo? Take a photo of the whole family, so that we can take it out and look at it no matter we go to school or work in the future!"

Yaoyao's eyes lit up, "Take a photo?"

"Yeah! Do you like it?"

Yaoyao was stunned for a moment and shook her head.

"Don't like it?" Zhang Xiuhua looked at her in surprise.

"No! I've never taken a picture, so I don't know if I like it."

Zhang Xiuhua burst out laughing, "Then let's go give it a try!"

"it is good!"

As the two were talking, they heard the excited shouts of children outside.

Just by listening to the voice, Zhang Xiuhua guessed it must be Baolin.

Sure enough, when she came out, she saw Baolin walking around in the skates that Li Jianguo bought from the capital.

Because it was a red brick road, the bricks creaked as she walked. Some bricks were uneven, and she almost fell, but Youcai stood beside her and supported her.

So she went to skate on the dirt road at the door, leaving two clear marks on the ground.

Youcai looked at the mark and waved his hands, "No! This mark is too deep! It will be like a dog paddle in a few seconds."

Other children also came over to watch the fun.

Jidong reminded her, "The mud isn't on the road, it must be stuck on your shoes, you'd better take them off. You'll fall down later."

As soon as he finished speaking, Baolin fell to his knees. It was obvious that the pulley was stuck because of too much mud.

Jidong helped her up, "Look what I said!"

Baolin was wearing three-quarter pants that Zhang Xiuhua had Tielihua make. She lifted one corner of her pants and saw that her knees were bruised.

"Oh, this needs to be rubbed open, otherwise it will turn blue." Jidong helped her take off her shoes.

Baolin sat on the chair with the help of Yaoyao.

Youcai ran to Jidong to check and found that it was roller skates.

Youcai wanted to try them on, but the shoes were covered in mud and too small, so he had to give up his plan. He ran to his father and asked how much the roller skates cost.

Li Jianguo was taking something out of the suitcase, and it was the airplane model that Ji Lin wanted.

Jilin got his model and couldn't wait to assemble it.

When Li Jianguo heard his son's words, he casually said, "Sixty."

Youcai was so shocked that he blurted out, "It's a robbery! Sixty for a pair of shoes."

The rubber shoes on his feet cost only three yuan.

Youcai was reluctant to buy such expensive rubber shoes.

Zhang Xiuhua took Li Jianguo to the kitchen. He was responsible for lighting the fire while she cooked noodles for him.

Zhang Xiuhua told him about her sister-in-law asking him to help her buy a racing car model. "My sister-in-law and Hongwen went to the county town to set up a stall to sell vegetables and earned more than 1,000 yuan. She was addicted to business and bought eggs from us. They sold well."

Li Jianguo was a little worried. "It's too dangerous for her to ride a bicycle to the county town alone. What if she encounters bad guys on the way?"

"She walked on the main roads. She should be fine." Zhang Xiuhua also told him another story, "Yaoyao's deskmate passed away due to leukemia. We donated money before. She was very sad. Tomorrow our whole family will take a family photo. I think the child should like it."

This was just a small matter, so Li Jianguo agreed immediately, "Okay!"

After cooking the noodles, Zhang Xiuhua asked him to serve himself some rice. "I have to go collect eggs. One third of the chickens have started laying eggs now. There were 3,000 eggs yesterday."

At that time, chicken farms were not as smart as they are now, where eggs could be transported together via conveyor belts. Her machine could only roll the eggs from the top to the bottom grooves. She had to pick them up one by one and put them into the basket.

In addition to feeding the chickens, she has to collect eggs at least six times a day. Otherwise, the eggs will be piled too densely and the eggs on the slope will not slide down and will be stepped on by the chickens and break.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, when it was already dark, Xu Chunying learned that Li Jianguo had returned and ran over to remind him that he must buy her a model. "Hongwen has been talking about it. He finally got you back."

Li Jianguo smiled and said, "Xiuhua has already told me, I can bring it back next time I come back."

Xu Chunying breathed a sigh of relief.

She had been busy all day and was feeling tired and sleepy. When she came out of Xiuhua's house and was about to turn into the small path, a dark shadow suddenly jumped out and blocked her way, scaring her.

After taking a closer look, it turned out to be the youngest girl of the Zhang family. "It turned out to be Jue Mei? You suddenly appeared out of nowhere. You almost scared me to death!"

"Auntie, can I sell eggs with you?" Juemei asked timidly.

Xu Chunying refused without even thinking, "No! Everyone in the village knows what kind of people your parents are! How dare I let you sell eggs with me?"

Jue Mei lowered her head and said nothing.

Xu Chunying passed by her and quickly disappeared at the end.

After she left, Zhang Xiuhua walked out of the house and looked at Jue Mei who was rejected, "I told you. If you want to sell eggs, you can only do it yourself!"

Zhang Xiuhua was grateful to Juemei for helping Youcai. If Juemei hadn't come to tip him off, Youcai might have sacrificed his life for that ginseng.

Zhang Xiuhua knew Juemei was short of money, so she asked Juemei to take some eggs to the county town to sell. No need to walk, just take the bus. She was small, so she could carry 200 eggs at a time. The round trip fare was 40 cents, and she could earn 5.60 yuan.

But the child was a little timid and worried that he would be cheated if he sold eggs alone, so he wanted to go with Xu Chunying.

But how could Xu Chunying bring a burden? Especially since the Zhang family is such a scoundrel, whoever gets involved will be in trouble!

In order to repay Juemei's favor, Zhang Xiuhua chose to help her, but she couldn't force Xu Chunying to help Juemei as Xu Chunying didn't owe her anything.

Jue Mei's eyes were red, "I'm afraid the eggs will be taken away and I won't have the money to pay you back!"

Zhang Xiuhua was slightly stunned. She thought Juemei was afraid of Youcai being beaten like that, so she asked Xu Chunying to accompany her. So she was afraid that she couldn't pay her back? Two hundred eggs were nothing to her, but for Juemei, who was penniless, it was a huge sum of money.

She sighed, "How could you be so unlucky as to run into a bandit?! Go straight to the family compound when you get off the bus. Sell the eggs and come back. Don't linger."

Jue Mei thought of the situation of her two sisters and nodded.
