Reborn in a small village in the 1990s

Chapter 67

Zhao Da'e was unlikely to help call Cheng Jinxiang home; if Cheng Jinxiang went home so early, all the trouble would have been for nothing.

Moreover, Zhao Da'e still doesn't realize the seriousness of the matter when he sees Zhao Tingxu and the others. Since you are all such good-for-nothings, then just keep putting up with it.

Life has its difficulties and hardships. However, if the hardships are unfair, it will leave people feeling resentful.

Don’t worry about scarcity but inequality.

That's probably the reason. Zhao Da'e is no exception. The whole family is lazy and unwilling to work. They rely on Zhao Da'e and her son to do the work. When problems arise, they still act like this. There's nothing more to say about that.

Let's just wait and see. Whoever gives in first is the coward.

Zhao Da'e went to the backyard to take a look. Putting everything else aside, Zhao Tiesheng had been quite diligent these past few days, cleaning up the area around the ancient well until it looked quite presentable.

At least, it would make people feel that the water in this well is clean.

The surrounding branches, twigs, and messy weeds were all cleared away, and the surrounding land was also leveled slightly.

Zhao Da'e rubbed his head, thinking to himself that Zhao Tiesheng wanted to go farming.

However, Zhao Da'e had no time to care about that. She had been eating, drinking, and having fun for several days, and it was time to pay attention to things.

Of course, Zhao Da'e only said it casually. In the afternoon, he went to Xiangzi's house to ask him to drive him into the city the next day. In the evening, he stayed at his aunt's house.

Going home is out of the question. I'm living the high life at my aunt's house. What would I do at home? Be a doormat?

Then Zhao Da'e encouraged her cousin Zhou Chunwen to cook something delicious. As the saying goes, nothing tastes better than dumplings, especially in the north, where people don't really care about the filling; as long as it's a dumpling, it's delicious. Luckily, the Zhou family lived near the mountains and had plenty of food. Zhou Chunwen cut some pork, added some shepherd's purse, and made shepherd's purse dumplings.

"Big sister, if only I could eat those juicy mutton dumplings."

Zhou Chunhong also said, "Lamb...lamb dumplings...delicious."

Zhou Chunwen thought for a moment. There was mutton at home, but his father, Zhou Yuren, was keeping a close eye on it. There were only two catties of mutton, which were prepared for the New Year's Eve dinner. What should they eat on New Year's Eve?

"If you want to eat mutton dumplings, Big Goose, you secretly get some mutton. I'll provide the meat, and you provide the meat."

Zhao Da'e really took this seriously, and they enjoyed eating and drinking together.

So early the next morning, Zhao Da'e was driven into the city by Xiangzi, and the first thing he did was to ask around to find out where to buy good mutton in the city.

Someone told Zhao Da'e that Hu Er's family at the morning market had fresher mutton, so Zhao Da'e went and bought two jin of mutton foreleg meat, planning to go home and have his cousin Zhou Chunwen make dumplings.

Afterwards, he took a car to Kwong Shou-yee to study the water issue.

Kuang Shouyi was quite busy with work and was in meetings until noon before he finally managed to meet Zhao Da'e: "Oh, Auntie's here. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, I've been really too busy."

As they talked, Kuang Shouyi made tea for Zhao Da'e, and then specially brought out two apples, though they were small local apples.

Zhao Da'e leisurely munched on an apple and drank tea.

"How did you come to know my aunt?"

"I came by car." Zhao Da'e put down the apple core he had almost finished eating, and then said, "I came here this time to ask you if your unit needs Kangxi Spring water. Now that Kangxi Spring is mine, I can transport the water over so you can also have good water to drink. What do you think?"

Kuang Shouyi was taken aback: "From your hometown to the city, it's a journey of over thirty kilometers. The road isn't very good either. It's such a long distance, is it really possible?"
