Chapter 9 Siblings

Zhao Changqing chose the time Zhao Yong was there to tell Ling about preparing birthday gifts for Mrs. Zhu.

Zhao Changqing did not go over empty-handed. She brought two plates of snacks, asked her parents, and sat under the chair. Zhao Yong laughed first, "Is this a snack to my father?"

"It's not for my father." Zhao Changqing sat very well. For a child, such a sitting posture was rare and serious. Zhao Changqing smiled and said, "I heard from Bai's wife that her mother was always hungry in the middle of the night when she was close to her. She was pregnant with her little brother, and it was not good for her to be hungry. I asked her to make two plates of snacks under the kitchen and brought them to her. This is a new one. There is a fire in the mother's yard. Let Bai's wife put it on the fire with water. If she is hungry, she will be fresh."

Zhao Changqing rarely comes here. Now he is not only here, but also brings some snacks to talk and laugh. There is an inappropriate description. Ling is really flattered, and even smiles a little unnatural, saying, "It's rare that you think about it. I'm talking about this. I always wake up in the middle of the night. Although Mrs. Liu is in the kitchen, she is only a day for her to work hard for me. She is not worth it and tossing people again in the middle of the night. If you don't want to think about it, you have thought of such a good way."

Zhao Yong laughed, "Why would everyone say that his daughter is caring?"

Zhao Changqing smiled and said, "There is another thing. Today I heard my mother talk about congratulating her great-grandmother's birthday. After my mother left, I asked my grandmother for a long time. Didn't my mother say that the second uncle's family would also go to celebrate her great-grandmother's birthday at that time? My mother, the cousin of the second uncle's family is at the school of the great-grandmother's family. Will my cousin go then?"

The Ling family wanted to go with the Zhu family, so it was naturally because of the fact that his son was a student at the Zhu family. Ling laughed, "It must be gone."

Zhao Changqing said, "I think that my great-grandmother's family has many family members, let alone the birthday of my great-grandmother. Even if it's not done well, there will definitely be many people going to kowtow. It will be a mess at that time, and my second uncle will be the first time I'm going to have a meal outside. I may not be able to say a few words to the Zhu family's cousin. I want me to say that my second uncle wants to celebrate my birthday mainly because of my cousin's attachment to the school. Since that's the case, why not ask my cousin to go with us? My cousin is young and not even as a man or a woman is at great defense, so I will ask him to follow me. I often go to pay tribute to my great-grandmother. My cousin follows me and can have a familiar face without saying a word. In the Zhu family school, the Zhu family's children naturally have to be more polite to my cousin."

Ling didn't know what to say, so she smiled and said to her husband, "She is a little man, and she is more thorough in thinking about things than me, an adult. It's really..."

Seeing that Ling's true beauty was really beautiful, Zhao Changqing continued to smile, "My mother is pregnant with her little brother, so she shouldn't worry about it anymore. My mother didn't know that Sister Li Huaer next door came to play with me today, and I realized that Sister Li Huaer was so young and could earn money to support the family. In this way, I can only spend money, far less than Sister Li Huaer."

Zhao Yong found it funny, "What's the point of this? You are younger than her. Besides, my sister Qing can study and learn calligraphy, and many people are not as good as you."

Zhao Changqing said seriously, "But, I want to do something too. I heard that I always read school and become a fool. I came over and just wanted to ask my mother, didn't she say she wanted to give her great-grandmother a birthday gift? Mother, can I leave the fruit to me to do it? Sister Li Huaer often helps Aunt Xing to do things, and I also want to share my mother's worries."

This is not impossible.

What's more, Zhao Changqing performed very well today.

Because the mother and daughter don’t come and go often, the distance is beautiful and they are used to being reserved, they are particularly polite to each other. Choosing fruits is just a trivial matter. Ling hesitated that the Zhu family’s family is unusual, so Ling is particularly cautious about the things sent to the Zhu family, even a fruit is still striving for excellence.

Zhao Yong smiled and said to Zhao Changqing, "It's not a big deal. If you want to do it, just go. Remember to ask the girls to choose the big ones and put them in the cellar to store them first, do you know?"

"If I don't know this, how could I ask my mother for this job?" Zhao Changqing smiled, "I will give my efforts. Then my mother will take a look at it again. What's wrong with her mother. If she says it, she will have time to change it."

Seeing that the father and daughter had already settled the matter, Ling stopped insisting and smiled and said, "Okay, you don't like to go out at home every day. Since you want to do it, let it leave it to you."

Zhao Changqing smiled, "I thought about it all in the afternoon, and even the basket of fruits must be filled with new ones. Mother, just leave it to me."

Ling couldn't help laughing, "Okay, then I'll keep it with peace of mind."

"Mother should have rested more."

Ling was in a good mood and told the Bai Woman, "Where are the new materials sent from the shop? Take them over and show them to Sister Qing." He said to Zhao Changqing, "This year's new products, there are several colors. Choose one you like and cut new clothes for you."

Girls' clothes are bright colors. In the past, Ling never asked about her preferences for her clothes. Zhao Changqing also knew that Ling was in a good mood today. He looked at it and pointed to the silk that was as bright as red, "Since it is a birthday celebration, the most festive thing about bright red."

Ling smiled, "I also said that this big red looks good. Sister Qing'er gave birth to a white and beautiful woman, and she could also make her look good in the big red."

Zhao Yong laughed, "Yes."

Ling said, "If my mother wants to choose a good color tomorrow, she will ask the white woman to do it." Although the Zhao family's family is able to raise a maid, she has always been very frugal. The clothes she has made for her family.

Zhao Changqing said a few more words to his parents before going back to bed.

Ling sighed, "I don't know what happened to this girl, but suddenly she became sensible."

Zhao Yong laughed, "It's not good to be sensible? Changqing is just quieter, not unfilial. Look, she is thinking about you in everything."

Ling was particularly comfortable and laughed, "I just hope she will always be so sensible."

Zhao Yong was also happy to see the mother and daughter getting close to each other, and said a lot of good things to make his wife happy.

As late as the night, the couple washed their clothes and hugged each other and fell asleep.

However, Mrs. Zhao was surprised by Zhao Changqing's behavior. She knew that Zhao Changqing was not in harmony with Ling. Zhao Changqing wanted to take care of Xiaolihuaer's business, and it was also what Mrs. Zhao asked Zhao Changqing to go with Ling himself.

The purpose is to make Zhao Changqing get closer to his mother.

However, Old Mrs. Zhao did not expect that Zhao Changqing would use such a roundabout way to get the entire mission to prepare fruits. Especially Zhao Changqing first gave snacks to show his goodwill, and then made a clear way for the Ling family to celebrate the birthday of the Zhu family. He made Ling happy and then mentioned the matter of preparing fruits. Moreover, Zhao Changqing chose the best time: when Zhao Yong was at home.

Zhao Changqing and Ling were incompatible and had always been close to his father Zhao Yong.

In this way, Zhao Changqing first lays the foundation for the matter. Even if Ling does not agree, Zhao Yong will never agree.

After hearing that the white woman learned everything about last night, Mrs. Zhao pressed the surprise in her heart and said lightly, "Sister Qing is young, and your wife has a body and can't work hard. Please help Sister Qing."

The white woman quickly agreed.

Old Mrs. Zhao sent the white woman down.

Zhao Changqing was not in the old lady's house, she went to the cellar.

In summer, fruits and fruits are abundant, but the weather is warm and it is not easy to preserve. Therefore, usually, the house digs a cellar and uses the coolness of the cellar to preserve the fruits and fruits.

Like the summer watermelon, as long as it is properly stored in the cellar, it will be fine until the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Even the fruits that the Zhao family usually eats are placed in the cellar. Now we just pick some good ones first and send them to Mrs. Zhu when she celebrates her birthday.

Even if Zhao Changqing didn't go to the cellar, she ordered that Bai Woman and Liu'er could do this little thing well. However, she had nothing to do now, and she wanted this mission from Ling's hands, so she took this trip.

Because the cellar was cold, Zhao Changqing specially wore a thick coat when he went there. He didn't realize anything in the cellar, but it became hot when he returned to the room. Liu'er brought warm water, served Zhao Changqing first to wash up, and then changed her dress.

Old Mrs. Zhao smiled, "It's so cold there, be careful not to be cold."

“It’s thick in the cellar.”

Old Mrs. Zhao smiled, "Today I asked Mrs. Liu to buy mutton, make mutton pies at noon, and stew mutton tonight, is it good?"

Zhao Changqing likes to eat mutton the most. He smiled when he heard this, "Dad also likes to eat mutton, and asked Mrs. Liu to make more mutton cakes. Anyway, it's easy to bring. I put it in a food box to deliver some to my father. Last time I heard my father say that the food in the ward station was not delicious at all." There are often wars in the border town, and men and women are so strong that the ward station itself provides lunch, so there is no saying that they can deliver food at all.

"How particular can you pay for big pot rice? It's just a matter of face. Your father is now the general flag, better than before." Old Mrs. Zhao told Liu'er, "Just as your girl said, let your mother bake more mutton cakes and ask Lai Fu to deliver them to your master."

Liu'er hurried to the kitchen.

At noon, Zhao Changqing accompanied Mrs. Zhao to read books by herself after eating. She did not hurry to find Xiaolihuaer to order a basket, and practiced the big words for the afternoon. She didn't even have to carry the basket all day.

But Old Mrs. Zhao couldn't help asking her, "Changqing, didn't you say you wanted to use the basket of Li Huaer's house to fill fruits?"

Zhao Changqing said, "Oh, it's still early to my great-grandmother's birthday. I don't have to hurry up the basket, just take the time to say it." She asked for this mission from Ling. In order to take care of Xiao Lihua's business, Zhao Changqing would not hurry to find Xiao Lihua'er to book a fruit basket first as soon as she took over the mission. She didn't like others to see her purpose.

Old Mrs. Zhao laughed in her heart, she was really a calm girl.

Zhao Changqing didn't go to find Xiaolihuaer, but Xiaolihuaer came to find her first.

After Xiao Lihuaer first greeted Mrs. Zhao, she said a few words to Mrs. Zhao before she went to Zhao Changqing's house to play with her.

Xiao Lihuaer smiled and sat down and said to Zhao Changqing, "Sister Qing, I learned all the names you taught me last time." As he said that, Xiao Lihuaer couldn't wait to pull Zhao Changqing's hand and stroked it up with her fingertips in Zhao Changqing's hand.

Not only did she learn her own name, but she also learned the names of her two younger brothers.

Zhao Changqing smiled, "I have pens and ink here, and I have paper. My sister writes and reads it on the paper."

Xiao Lihuaer waved her hands repeatedly, "I can't use a pen yet. I weave a square, shallow-bottomed plate with willow branches, and put it on the top of it, and asked Lizi to write it on the sand with me. I have never touched paper and pen, so where did I write it? However, I remember it, and I will meet you later when I see you later! Sister Qing, you taught me five words last time, and this time I taught me ten words, and I will teach you from one to ten. I will learn these ten numbers first to be used to keep accounts."

"Okay." Zhao Changqing spread out the paper and wrote ten numbers, and taught Xiaolihua'er to recognize it twice."

When Liu'er brought the snack, Zhao Changqing handed Xiaolihua'er a piece. Xiaolihua'er took it and still held the paper in her hand. After looking at it, Xiaolihua'er said, "I'm doing anything else quickly, I just recognize words, but I'm not as good as Lizi. Sister Qing, how weird you say, I'm sure about my family's affairs. Lizi knows how to eat every day. Asking him to do more work is like killing him. He cries and howls and rolls around, and is beaten twice a day. He learns words faster than me!" Speaking of this, Xiaolihua'er can't understand it.

Zhao Changqing smiled, "What's so strange about this? Who has no strengths yet? Lizi is just playing tricks. You see, he learns calligraphy so quickly, maybe he will have a great future." Zhao Lizi said that it was a bit exaggerated in her previous life, but she did make a lot of money from businessmen, which is a typical representative of a dog father and a tiger son.

Xiao Lihua'er wrinkled her nose, "What kind of big prospects can he have? I just hope he can work more every day."

Li Huaer was about to talk to Zhao Changqing for a while, but when someone was talking outside, her younger brother Zhao Lizi came in. Zhao Lizi's face was clean and there was a bit between the eyebrows and eyes of the siblings. Li Zi was one year younger than Li Huaer, and was even more powerful than her sister. Li Zi flashed her beautiful eyes and looked at Zhao Changqing first before saying to his sister, "Sister, I'm asking you to go back and tell you if you have something to do."

"What's the matter?" After handing over twenty baskets to the grocery store and receiving the money, Xiao Lihuaer came to play with Zhao Changqing because she was thinking that her family was fine.

Zhao Lizi refused to say it and said, "You will know when you go back."

Xiao Lihua'er had to get up and say goodbye to Zhao Changqing. Zhao Changqing saw that Lizi's eyes kept looking at the snacks, and her mouth was squirting and saliva was about to flow out. Zhao Changqing smiled and wrapped the snacks with a handkerchief and handed them to Lizi. Xiao Lihua'er was a very strong person. She felt that her younger brother's behavior was embarrassing and stopped Zhao Changqing and said, "Sister Qing, don't give it to him, you can't spoil his greedy habit!"

Xiao Lihua'er only stopped Zhao Changqing, not careful not to take the snack with her younger brother with his hands and feet. Zhao Lizi smiled and said, "Thank you sister Qing." He was one year older than Zhao Changqing.

Xiao Lihua'er glared at her brother with a desperate look, wishing she could slap this embarrassing thing to death! Zhao Lizi winked at her eyes and made a face, urging her sister, "Go home quickly and go home quickly, I have something to come to you!"

Xiao Li Huaer had already decided to give Zhao Lizi a good meal when she got home! However, she was thinking about home again, so she told Zhao Changqing and took Zhao Lizi away.

Zhao Changqing sent them to the gate. The two families were neighbors and they were close to each other. Zhao Lizi pushed her sister into the door and shouted, "Go quickly, my mother is anxious." He took a step back, ran to Zhao Changqing, and asked quietly, "Sister Qing, is my sister asking you to recognize words again?" Seeing that his sister was rolling a piece of white paper in her hand, it seemed to have words on it, Zhao Lizi had guessed eight or nine.

Zhao Changqing laughed, "What's wrong?"

?#~@The younger brother dragged him home and scolded, "Okay, Zhao Lizi! You dare to lie to me! Where did you ask me to come back!"

The scam was discovered, and Zhao Lizi begged for mercy, pleading with her mouth, "That may be because I heard it wrong! Sister! Dear sister! Good sister! Let go! Oh! Sister Qing, help me!"

Xiao Lihua'er kicked Zhao Lizi into the house with a fierce kick, tied up her hair, turned her head to Zhao Changqing and said, "This kid deserves a beating! Sister Qing, please go back quickly, it's cool outside, I'll go back to clean up this kid first, and I'll play with you next time."

Zhao Changqing's eyes were curved, "Okay."
