Chapter 5 5. Three strings of candied haws

In the morning, Qiao Zhenzhen made a big pot of egg and lean meat porridge, with a plate of cabbage and pickled sweet radish.

Today she had to go to the town to do some work, so she cooked a big pot of porridge and put it on the stove to warm it with a low fire, so that the two brothers could eat it at noon.

Sweet and soft rice, with eggs and lean meat, are all top-notch.

Song Dabao and Song Xiaobao felt that they were living a fairy-like life recently. Not only did their mother not beat them anymore, but she also made delicious food for them. They were so happy.

The children knew who was good to them, and this was their biological mother, so the brothers unconsciously developed a close feeling towards Qiao Zhenzhen. They were no longer afraid of her like before, and always liked to stick to Qiao Zhenzhen.

This time, they even begged to go to the town together. They had never been to the town since they grew up. However, Qiao Zhenzhen had a lot of things to do this time. Not only did she have to go to the meat factory to buy meat, but she also had to go to the post office to withdraw money and go to the black market. It was really inconvenient to bring two such young children, so she agreed to go together next time.

The two brothers could only say goodbye to their mother reluctantly at the entrance of the village.

"Dabao and Xiaobao, is your mother in town again?" An aunt at the entrance of the village teased the two brothers when she saw Qiao Zhenzhen leaving.

"My mother went to the post office to get money. She said she would buy us some delicious food when she came back." Song Dabao and his friend didn't realize that others were trying to make fun of them, so they answered honestly.

"Buy again? You haven't finished the peach cakes you bought last time! Your mother is too wasteful. I guess you two won't even have money to marry a wife in the future. You will be single for the rest of your life!"

Song Dabao & Song Xiaobao: !!!

Song Dabao and Song Xiaobao, who were scared that they would be single for the rest of their lives, quickly took out the peach cakes from their pockets, took a big bite, and suppressed their surprise.

This time, Qiao Zhenzhen gave each of the brothers two pieces. Peach cakes are not tasty if they are left for too long, so they can just buy more after they finish eating.

The children at the entrance of the village saw Song Dabao and his friends eating peach cakes again and quickly surrounded them. This time, Song Dabao was more generous and directly broke off half a piece, giving Heiwa and Erzhuzi a quarter each. Of course, the others didn't get any, so they just smelled it.

The rest of the people stared at Song Xiaobao again, but Song Xiaobao pretended not to see anything and ate the peach cake in his hand in big mouthfuls. After eating, he licked his fingers and said, "It's delicious!"

Heiwa and Erzhuzi echoed, "Yes, it's delicious! What delicious food will Aunt Qiao bring back from the town this time?"

Song Dabao and Song Xiaobao didn't know, but they were looking forward to it silently in their hearts, so they didn't go anywhere else to play today, but just waited at the entrance of the village so that they could find Qiao Zhenzhen as soon as she came back.

Qiao Zhenzhen learned from the painful experience last time, so she decided to take a car to the town. Walk for 20 minutes to the commune, and then take a car from the commune to the town.

A shabby minibus with a mixture of smells. Qiao Zhenzhen almost vomited when she got on the bus. Fortunately, there was a window seat and some wind, so she came to her senses.
