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

The captain was a little unhappy when he knew what Li Jianguo had done, and felt that he shouldn't have provided those people with contact equipment.

Li Jianguo said, "If we don't give them the money, they will find other ways. It's better to tell them and ask them what kind of chickens they will raise next year, so that we can have a countermeasure."

The chickens that can be raised in a chicken farm are laying hens and broiler chickens.

If they all raise laying hens, Lijiatun can raise broiler chickens. This way, knowing both ourselves and the enemy, we can avoid losses.

The captain was finally persuaded.

In the early morning, Aunt Wang was feeding the chickens, picking up the eggs and putting them into a basket, then putting them into the egg tray one by one, arranging them neatly, and waiting for Xu Chunying to come.

But the tractor arrived and she was nowhere to be seen.

Zhang Xiuhua was sitting at the door reading a book. Seeing her looking at the door from time to time, she put down the book and walked over. "What's the matter?"

Aunt Wang tilted her head and looked outside. "Your sister-in-law hasn't come yet. Could she be sick?"

"No way?" Zhang Xiuhua had just seen Xu Chunying last night, and she didn't look sick at all. She looked full of energy.

As they were talking, the captain's daughter-in-law pointed at the path and shouted, "People are coming!"

Zhang Xiuhua and Aunt Wang immediately looked in the direction she pointed. That person was Xu Chunying, but what happened to her? She should have walked normally, but why was she walking crookedly, as if she was drunk?

"What's going on?" The three of them were a little confused. Don't be possessed by evil spirits! It's too scary.

Zhang Xiuhua stepped forward and supported Xu Chunying. "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? If you're not feeling well, don't go."

Xu Chunying was not sick, and her temperature was not high. Her eyes were red, and she was just sad. Aunt Wang's eyes were sharp, "You are crying? What's wrong? What happened?"

Her mind was working quickly, and nothing had happened in the village recently.

Xu Chunying's voice was a bit nasal, and she was still listless. She answered weakly, "The things my husband sent to me were lost."

"Lost? How could it be lost?" Zhang Xiuhua just said it casually before, but she didn't expect that her bad words would come true. "Is it possible that it was late?"

"It took ten days to arrive before. Now it's almost twenty days." Xu Chunying told the post office what she had asked yesterday. "They asked me to come back and wait for news. I asked them what to do if they can't find it? They said they would refund my postage."

Xu Chunying was so angry that her face turned red. What was the point of just refunding her the shipping fee? Her goods were worth more than a thousand yuan. All the money she had earned before was lost! She even lost several hundred yuan.

Zhang Xiuhua didn't know how to comfort her for a moment, "How about you ask your elder brother to help you get some from the south? Can you bring more at a time?"

This was the best she could think of.

Xu Chunying waved her hand and said no, "He can earn more than 100 yuan a month in the south. It would take time to move the goods back and forth, and the goods might be stolen."

The risk of doing business at this time is still very high. There is a risk of loss when sending by mail, and there is a risk of theft or robbery when taking the train.

Xu Chunying wiped her face and cheered herself up again. "Forget it, I'll just focus on vegetables. I won't buy anything from the south anymore. My heart can't take it."

The captain's daughter-in-law, who had not interrupted the conversation, spoke up, "I was in the county town yesterday and heard someone say that a bus was robbed by bandits and several people died."

After hearing what she said, the three of them felt terrified. Several lives were lost just like that?

"Public security is really bad. The patrol team catches speculators every day, but they don't catch these highway bandits. They are really stupid." Xu Chunying was very disgusted.

She saw that it was getting late and if she didn't go to deliver the goods now, people would be dissatisfied with her.

She counted the eggs, loaded the cartons onto the cart, and climbed onto the tractor.

Time flies and it is the end of September. At this time, there are three days of National Day holiday, and Jilin and Zhuzhu are clamoring to go to the capital.

Zhang Xiuhua asked Yaoyao, "Can you go with us?"

Yaoyao is in the graduating class, and the school has a new principal this year. This principal has a very different style from the previous principal and is very strict about the enrollment rate of the graduating class. Yaoyao started taking extra classes during the summer vacation, and she is worried that she will have to take extra classes during the National Day holiday as well.

But she guessed wrong. Yaoyao didn't have any extra classes, but the teacher gave her a lot of handouts. Now she has to concentrate on solving exercises and has no time to travel.

Zhang Xiuhua was afraid that the child would not be able to sit still, so she said, "After you finish your high school entrance exam next year, I will take you to see other places! You name it!"

Yaoyao's eyes lit up, "Is it possible abroad?"

Zhang Xiuhua: “?”

She wanted to take back what she had just said. Going abroad? How much would that cost?!

She thought about it and said, "We can go to Russia, but to other countries? We don't have enough money!"

The public funds were only over 30,000 yuan, and the telephone installation cost over 5,000 yuan. These 25,000 yuan were not enough to travel to the West.

Yaoyao thought for a moment and said, "Alright! I want to see their palace."

Zhang Xiuhua was stunned. Could the imperial palace of Damao be visited by the public like the Forbidden City? She really didn't know. She would wait for Li Jianguo to come back and ask him.

Since Yaoyao couldn't go to the capital with them, Zhang Xiuhua asked her to have dinner at Xu Chunying's house every day.

"Go take some rice over there later, and pick some vegetables from home. You can't eat other people's food for free." Zhang Xiuhua instructed Yaoyao.

Yaoyao took note, "When will you be back?"

Zhang Xiuhua smiled and said, "The holiday is only three days. I will be back on the 3rd."

Just then, the sound of a tractor was heard outside. It was Xu Chunying who came back. She was called over by Zhang Xiuhua.

When Xu Chunying learned that she was going to take Jilin and Zhuzhu to the capital, she thought she was really hardworking. "It takes a day and a night to go there, and another day and a night to come back. You can only stay there for one day. Is it worth it?"

Zhang Xiuhua was not just traveling, she also wanted to visit Baolin at the sports team, and then go to the capital to look at houses. Because Jidong said he had found a courtyard house for her. She didn't have enough money now, so she wanted to go and see it first.

She couldn't tell Xu Chunying about this, so she said, "The kids want to go and have some fun. Youcai has also opened a barbecue stand over there. I want to go and have a look."

Xu Chunying is already immune to it. "Go if you want to. Yaoyao can just come to my house for dinner later."

After Zhang Xiuhua finished explaining everything to Xu Chunying, she took the two children to the county town by bus. She bought train tickets in advance, thinking that Yaoyao could go too, so she bought an extra ticket. She went to the front desk to cancel it and some handling fees were deducted.

After getting on the train and sitting on hard seats for a day and a night, the children’s backs were almost stiff, but they were still excited!

After leaving the Capital Railway Station, Jidong came to greet them.

"Youcai is going to buy groceries and cook. I'll pick you up." After getting on the bus, Jidong explained for Youcai.

Zhang Xiuhua asked him where Youcai rented the shop.

"It's not far from my shop." Jidong rented the house with great difficulty. You know, the landlord was a weird old man. He was not willing to rent the house at first. Later, he tried every means to please him, and he agreed to rent the house.

"The landlord likes quietness, so he lives in a vacant room in the courtyard." Jidong explained, "The house Youcai rented is a courtyard with three rooms, two for living and one for storing goods."

"So we don't have to stay in the guesthouse?" Zhang Xiuhua smiled.

"Yes! There is a room reserved for me by Youcai. You can just live in my room. Youcai and I can squeeze in. I usually live on campus, not over there. It's too far from the school and it's inconvenient to go back and forth." Jidong told them to just stay there without worry.
