Chapter 129 Open the door quickly, your dog needs to be fed.
Qiao Manman briefly explained the situation of the Qiao family in Suzhou. Qiao Runming breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that the old man was just moving to a different place and would not suffer like the others in the cowshed of Qingshan Brigade.
Qiao Manman said with a smile, "Even if someone wants to take action, they'll have to think it over carefully."
"Old Master Tao is a 'red capitalist' certified by the top leaders. If they have objections, does it mean they have something to say about the top leaders?"
Although this might sound like a bully using someone else's authority, some people just need to be intimidated like this.
Qiao Runming hadn't expected his family background to be so good. While feeling proud, he also understood why Ding Cuiying had switched the children.
That's the worst aspect of human nature, the rampant growth of desire.
"By the way, have any educated youths recently come to Qingshan Brigade? Are they two brothers surnamed Qiao?"
Qiao Runming stayed at home all day, oblivious to everything happening outside.
He Nian, on the other hand, goes out to feed the pigs every day and manages to exchange a few words with the villagers.
As I was carrying my bowl over, I happened to hear this.
Nodding: "There are two, they both seem to be in their twenties!"
Logically speaking, children this age should be married and have children by now. I don't know what their parents were thinking, sending them to this rural area.
Qiao Manman burst out laughing: "Those are my third and fourth cousins."
The two originally had jobs, but their grandparents were worried that they would be implicated and have to go to a harder and more tiring place, so they asked them to come here on their own initiative.
Thinking that since our family is here, we can look after the two brothers!
He then took out a wad of cash from his canvas bag: "Dad, Mom, this is what my grandpa and grandma gave me!"
The couple had never seen so much money before; it was so thick, it must have been a thousand or two!
She quickly told Qiao Manman to take it back: "Hey, what are you doing? We're all family, how can we let the two kids go hungry?"
Qiao Manman knew that it wasn't safe to keep the money at home, so she put it back in the canvas bag to save space.
Then he took out another box: "Dad, Mom, this is a gift from Grandpa and Grandma to you."
Take a look, I'll keep it. I'll return it to you when you're old enough to wear it!
He Nian opened it and found a lustrous white jade bracelet inside, with a safety buckle carved from the same material in the center, which looked quite valuable.
The couple felt a warmth in their hearts, experiencing the long-lost parental love from this gift.
Qiao Manman lowered her head and ate her noodles, discovering that tonight's noodles were really delicious.
Not only are the noodles chewy and the eggs sweet, but even the bok choy is exceptionally crisp.
One word, absolutely.
Turning her head, she saw Little Flower staring at her expectantly. However, being restrained by Big Yellow, she dared not step out of the chicken coop.
Qiao Manman wasn't sure how intelligent chickens were, but being fed mutated wheat, they should be somewhat different from other poultry.
She picked up the bowl and drank the last mouthful of soup. Qiao Manman wiped her mouth clean with a tissue, went to the chicken coop, and put some broken wheat grains into Xiaohua's bowl.
The little guy immediately giggled twice and buried his head in his food.
Big Yellow glanced at him disdainfully and looked away.
Qiao Manman had a feeling that Da Huang was saying, "You're so pathetic! I just ate two whole grains of wheat!"
He chuckled softly and used the candlelight on the table to inspect the vegetable garden.
The vegetables looked particularly healthy and had no wormholes.
The mutant wheat she was experimenting with was growing rather slowly; it had only grown three to five centimeters after all this time.
It's particularly inconspicuous.
Qiao Manman returned to the table and saw He Nian put the lid back on: "Manman, help your parents put this away."
Qiao Manman nodded and put the box back in the canvas bag. Then she took out gifts for her family.
There were pastries, tea, silk scarves, fabrics, cigarettes and alcohol, and even face cream.
Qiao Runming and He Nian were all smiles as they discussed how to use these things.
Qiao Manman continued, taking out lotus seeds, lotus root powder, and two corn kernels from her bag.
Qiao Runming and He Nian had never seen mutated corn before. Seeing that it was green, they thought it was some kind of southern fruit.
Qiao Manman didn't explain, and just asked He Nian to boil water and cook it.
A moment later, the aroma of corn wafted through the courtyard, enough to make anyone's mouth water.
Fearing something might happen, He Nian quickly scooped out the corn kernels.
Without even discussing whether they were close or not, they separated themselves from Qiao Runming.
The tender, sweet taste instantly captivated their taste buds, and within minutes, the grapefruit-sized corn kernels were reduced to just a little juice.
The couple were still enjoying themselves.
Big Yellow cried out for food, but no one paid any attention to it.
Qiao Manman yawned and went back to her room to wash up.
I put the bathtub out, poured in warm water, and took a nice bath.
Then he poured out the water and rolled around on the wide kang (heated brick bed). He fell asleep quickly.
The next day, just as the sun rose, Da Huang knocked on Qiao Manman's door.
Waaaaah, open the door! Your dog needs to be fed!
Qiao Manman opened her eyes and stretched.
She opened the door in her slippers, but refused to let Big Yellow into her territory.
Big Yellow felt wronged, thinking that it was bad enough that they wouldn't give it any treats, but why wouldn't they even let it into the house?
Is it still its owner's most beloved dog?
It was so obsessed with Qiao Manman's mutated wheat grains that it couldn't eat or drink!
Qiao Manman couldn't bear to see Da Huang's pitiful little eyes, so she pointed in a direction and said, "Go wait there, and I'll give you a taste of something new in a bit!"
As if it understood, Da Huang ran away, while Qiao Manman bolted the door and went into the space.
I cut open a mutated watermelon, scooped out the flesh into pots and pans, and prepared to take it out to eat later.
What else? Sweet potatoes, yes, sweet potatoes the size of pumpkins, she hasn't tasted them yet!
Qiao Manman dug out ten, one to be steamed or boiled, and the other nine to be chopped up and made into sweet potato starch.
He Nian has become indifferent to the food and goods that have appeared out of nowhere in her home.
After finding out her daughter's plans, she carried the load to the backyard to clean it.
Qiao Runming came over to help: "Her mother, you go feed the pigs, I'll help my daughter chop sweet potatoes."
He Nian didn't refuse, wiped her hands, and left.
However, she came back very quickly, and before she could even catch her breath, she came to help cut sweet potatoes.
Even in broad daylight, the sweet potatoes weren't cooked at home.
Qiao Manman took the washed sweet potatoes into her spatial dimension, cut them into pieces, and steamed them on her small stove.
Although it's a bit slow, the fragrance won't spread.
Qiao Runming and He Nian no longer had to be on edge, and they felt much more relaxed.
An hour later, Qiao Manman brought the steamer out.
The aroma of steaming sweet potatoes instantly filled every corner of the yard.
With a gust of wind, it vanished without a trace.
Qiao Manman took out half of the sweet potato and put it in the enamel basin, leaving the other half in the still space.
When you get hungry, you can take it out and eat it directly.
"Oh, right, Mom, I invited Aunt Qiuhua over for lunch."
"Oh, okay!" He Nian had no objections, only asking, "So what dishes should we prepare? Should we buy some meat?"
It wouldn't be appropriate to serve cucumbers and green beans to guests!
Qiao Manman smiled and patted the package she hadn't opened last night: "There's fish in it! I brought it back from the beach. Pretty thoughtful, right?"
He Nian nodded: "Okay, Mother will do it right away!"
Qiao Manman stopped her: "No need, I'll cook myself in a bit!"
You can also take the opportunity to add some ingredients to it.
"Oh, right, we also need to call Captain Uncle over here."
On the one hand, she was grateful for his care of the family; on the other hand, she wanted to help build a relationship between Qiao Haoyang and Qiao Chengping.
