Chapter 11: Little Qiao Jie, Did You Eat Chicken This Morning?

Hearing the voice, An An immediately lifted the clothes covering her head and called out sweetly,

“Aunt Meizi, Brother Jingguo.”

“Hey, An An, come here, little aunt will hug you.” Fang Meizi immediately reached out with a doting smile.

She loved this well-behaved and quiet child.

Unlike Fang Jingguo, this little rascal who’s always up to mischief.

Fang Jingguo also laughed and called out, “Aunt Qiao.”

Then he grabbed An An’s little feet and shook them, “Aunt Qiao, is An An still sick?”

Bai Ruqiao covered An An with her clothes.

“She’s already recovered, she just can’t be exposed to the wind, so I thought I’d leave An An at your place for a while.”

“Hey, that’s a coincidence. My mom just ran back and said you were moving, so she asked Jingguo and me to help you first, and then she asked you and An An to come to our place for a rest.

By the way, Qiao Qiao Jie, how’s your foot?”

Bai Ruqiao felt a warmth in her heart and smiled.

“It’s fine, I put some medicine on it, and it’s better now.”

“Okay, let’s go. Jingguo, help your Aunt Qiao.”

“Hey~” Fang Jingguo ran over like a little puppy dog, grabbing her arm.

“Aunt Qiao, I’ll help you, be careful.”

The memories from her previous life were already blurry, but they became clearer at this moment.

Thinking about this little rascal, who would become a real entrepreneur in the future, she couldn’t help but laugh.

She reached out and rubbed his fluffy head, “Aunt Qiao is fine, you don’t need to help, let’s go.”

The group went back to Fang’s house, leaving Fang Jingguo to accompany An An.

Bai Ruqiao and Fang Meizi took their tools and walked towards the old house.

On the way, they met the village chief’s twins, who were in middle school.

She only remembered their names after hearing Meizi call them, and she successfully matched them.

“Little Qiao Jie, did you eat chicken this morning? We heard your mother-in-law scolding you at the door when we came.”

Cheng Yueya leaned over with a smile, looking relieved.

She had given An An a boiled egg.

But the old hag insisted that Little Qiao Jie stole her egg.

She even beat An An.

When she testified, she thought, I’ll boil your two chickens someday.

Of course, she was just thinking.

Cheng Guodong also chimed in, “She scolded so badly, she should have been killed and eaten, not a single one left.”

Fang Meizi was also full of surprise and curiosity, “Qiao Qiao Jie, did you really kill her chickens?”

The old hag would be furious.

Bai Ruqiao couldn’t help but smile.

“The doctor said An An was malnourished and needed to be supplemented. Last night, they hid the meat and grain, so your brother Sihai could only kill the chicken and make soup.”

After hearing this, Fang Meizi also laughed, “She deserves it!”

After a wave of shared anger, the sense of strangeness dissipated a little.

The four of them walked towards the abandoned house together.

They arrived at the abandoned house and found two more people inside.

“Big Brother, why did you come? I thought you were going to wait until after work.”

Fang Meizi was surprised to see the people carrying things out of the yard.

“There are enough people in the fields. Hongjun and I came to help first. We don’t need those work points anyway.”

Fang Daqiang waved his hand, sweat dripping down.

He subconsciously wanted to lift the hem of his undershirt to wipe the sweat.

Seeing the three girls opposite him, he could only raise his arm and wipe the sweat off his cheek.

Fang Hongjun was Fang Hanwu’s eldest son.

Fang Daqiang was Fang Chunsheng’s eldest son.

Both of them were considered Zhao Sihai’s best friends, and their relationship was very good.

Bai Ruqiao wasn’t surprised that they would come, she just didn’t expect them to come so early.

The house had already been emptied, and Zhao Sihai and Fang Hongjun were weeding inside.

The floor of the inner room was made of compacted earth, and now it was covered with weeds that were half a person tall.

The whole room was filled with flying grass clippings and flying dirt, a strong earthy smell permeated the air, and it could be seen from outside the yard.

There was also a mountain of garbage piled up in the yard.

It was mostly collapsed mud-brick and broken roof tiles, rotten wood, and the like.

The whole yard was swarming with insects.

The three girls instinctively took a step back, covering their mouths and noses, looking at the scene warily.

Cheng Guodong, however, went straight in.

He bent down and picked up two toads, as if he had found treasure.

“Hey, there are so many toads, hehe, I’ll find a dog to play with them later.”

The three girls immediately looked at him with disgust.

Even Fang Daqiang patted him on the back and pushed him out.

“What are you playing with? Get out, get out, don’t cause trouble.”

Cheng Yueya also stood with her hands on her hips and shouted domineeringly, “Cheng Guodong, you little rascal, are you here to help or to play?”

Cheng Guodong was unconvinced and wanted to retort.

Seeing Bai Ruqiao also staring at the toads, he scratched his head and looked sheepish.

He quickly threw away the toads, “I’m just used to it, I’ll work, I’ll work!”

He rolled up his sleeves and was about to move things.

Fang Daqiang hurriedly said, “We three are enough here, you don’t need to help.”

“How can that be? Big Brother Daqiang, you can’t chase me away. My dad will beat me up if he knows I’m here playing around.” Cheng Guodong immediately shouted.

Seeing that he had already started moving things, Fang Daqiang helplessly said to the three girls outside.

“Then you three rest on the side, don’t get involved.”

How could Bai Ruqiao let them work while she rested?

“Big Brother Daqiang, let us help too. More people, more strength.”

“That’s right, don’t underestimate us. Women can hold up half the sky.” Cheng Yueya also shouted.

“Tsk, you’re just a little girl, how can you hold up half the sky? Don’t be so cocky.”

Cheng Guodong moved the mud bricks while still being sarcastic.

Cheng Yueya immediately shouted angrily, “Cheng Guodong, what did you say? Say it again.”

“Cheng Yueya, you’re such a fierce girl, be careful you won’t get married. I won’t support you.”

“What are you babbling about? I’ll beat you to death.”

Cheng Yueya immediately grabbed a broom and went to hit him.

Cheng Guodong slipped away and hid behind the pile of garbage.

“Cheng Yueya, if you have the guts, let’s have a one-on-one fight!”

“Ugh!”

“Ouch, Cheng Yueya, you little rascal, ouch, don’t hit, don’t hit.”

Looking at the chaos in the yard, Bai Ruqiao twitched the corner of her mouth.

Fang Daqiang grabbed Cheng Yueya’s broom helplessly.

At this time, Zhao Sihai, who had heard the commotion, also came out.

Seeing Bai Ruqiao at the door, he put down his hoe and walked over.

He glanced at Fang Meizi beside her and said,

“Qiao Qiao, why don’t you and Meizi go to the supply and marketing cooperative first, see what you need to buy, and then buy some meat and vegetables. The kitchen should be usable by noon.”

Of the three rooms, only the side room had a wall collapsed, the main room had a big hole in it, and the kitchen was fine, only the roof was broken.

After cleaning up and repairing it, it should be usable.

Bai Ruqiao saw that he was drenched in sweat, his hair stuck to his face, which was uncomfortable.

She quickly took out a blue牡丹handkerchief from her pocket and wiped it for him.

She glanced at the situation in the yard, and she guessed that they couldn’t really help much, so she nodded.

“Okay.”

“I know the supply and marketing cooperative well, I’ll go too.” Cheng Guodong immediately jumped up.

Cheng Yueya kicked him on the butt, “Do your work.”

Then she walked forward, “Sihai Ge, Little Qiao Jie, I’ll go too, more people, more hands.”

“Okay, you guys go by bike, it’s easier to carry things on the bike.”

Zhao Sihai agreed, turned around and unloaded the things on the bike, then pushed the bike out.

Fang Meizi and Cheng Yueya’s eyes lit up when they saw the bike.

Fang Meizi was more reserved, but Cheng Yueya had already stepped forward.

“Sihai Ge, let me push, let me push.” She grabbed the handlebars, looking like she couldn’t wait to ride it out.

Unfortunately, both of them were only about five feet tall.

This kind of bike was too big for them, their legs couldn’t reach the pedals, so they couldn’t ride it.

They could only push the bike around and get their fill of “steering the wheel.”
