Adored Koi in the ’70s

Who was so wicked to poo in this place?

Xiao Qiao had the heart to kill someone!

The kids on the side laughed hard when they saw Xiao Qiao stepped on poo, "Xiao Qiao stepped on poo! Xiao Qiao stepped on poo!"

Xiao Qiao's face was completely flushed. She was so furious!

Da Qiao was startled when she heard her sister's cry: "Sister, what, happen?"

She ran over to take a look. Her delicate little nose wrinkled.

Aiya, half of her sister's shoes was dipped in the poo. It smelled so bad. No wonder her sister was so angry.

Xiao Qiao's face was dark. She stretched her shoes toward Da Qiao and said it as if was natural: " Elder Sister, help me clean the shoe!"

Da Qiao was taken aback for a moment.

Xiao Qiao's face immediately sank when she saw that Da Qiao didn't agree.

Just when she wanted to threaten Da Qiao, Qiao Xiu Zi, who had left, suddenly returned: "Da Qiao, why have you not returned home? Your dad is home alone. Can't drink a glass of water, since no one is there to pour it for him. Don't you feel guilty? Not learning the good. Instead, learning from those white-eyed wolves! Still not hurrying along?"

Hearing Grandmother scold, Da Qiao didn't dare to delay any longer: "Sister, you, wipe, it, yourself. I have, to go, home, now."

After finishing speaking, she ran away with the basket on her back before Xiao Qiao could respond,.

Xiao Qiao stared at the departing back of Da Qiao and puffed in angry like a pufferfish.

Da Qiao ran to her grandmother, showed a shy smile to her, and let out a soft cry: "Grandmother."

Meeting her black eyes, Qiao Xiu Zhi's lecturing couldn't come out of her mouth, "Didn't I tell you to go home earlier?"

"Give, Sister, egg." Da Qiao did not dare to conceal the fact that she gave an egg to her sister.

Qiao Xiu Zhi didn't like Xiao Qiao, but she won't stop Da Qiao from giving her eggs.

As for why she didn't like Xiao Qiao, the reason was simple...her eyes were too calculating.

Everyone said Xiao Qiao was obedient and smart. She felt that kid was really smart, but she was more scheming than a white lotus!

If she was really innocent and kind, she will not watch her own elder sister be hungry and become skinny, while she ate fine grains and eggs from time to time. She won't wear new clothes by herself and let her elder sister wear the old clothes she threw away a few years ago. When the shoe got several holes, she never lent a helping hand.

Moreover, she had personally caught her smiling very sweetly one moment and the next, her face instantly turned into a look of contempt when others looked away. That behavior was completely unlike what a four-year-old child should do.

It never came across Qiao Xiu Zhi that Xiao Qiao had been taken over by a ghost or the like. She only thought she gained early wisdom. Still, the child was too calculating, she can't make herself like her.

Compared with her, Da Qiao was simply a silly fool. She would still help people count money after being sold!

Just now, when she left, she suddenly felt a little uneasy halfway back. So she returned. That was when she heard Xiao Qiao asking Da Qiao to wipe off the poo.

Sure enough, they were all troublemakers!

One old and one small walked to the small courtyard of Qiao Family. Qiao Zhen Jun and his family had moved out and lived some distance from Qiao Family's old house. About ten minutes walk.

Da Qiao arrived home first. She raised her face and looked at her grandmother. Her voice softly said: "Grandmother, then, I, go in, now."

The sun hit her face. Her complexion looked a little better than before. But compared to the other children in Qiao Family, she was still too thin. It made her eyes appeared surprisingly big.

"Wait a minute." Qiao Xiu Zhi stopped her. Then she took out an egg from her pocket and stuffed it with a fierce expression: "Take it. If I find that you give the egg to someone else, see how I'll sort you out!"

Da Qiao was surprised by the doting. Still, she shook her head: "Grandmother, eat. I, won't eat."

"I'm giving it to you, so take it. So noisy!" Qiao Xiu Zhi didn't allow her to refuse. She placed the egg in her hand and turned to leave.

She sassily walked away at a heroic pace.

Grandmother is so nice!

Da Qiao's bright eyes watched her grandmother gradually go away until her figure disappeared from sight and entered the small courtyard.

She dug out a basin, filled it with water, and then carefully put the koi in it.

The koi was dying. Even when it was put in the water, there was no sign of it reviving.

Seeing that the fish wasn't moving, Da Qiao poked its head with tears in her big eyes: "Little fish, don't, die."

The tears fell into the water, making small ripples.

A miracle happened at this time. The fish that had turned white belly up unexpectedly spat out a bubble!

Da Qiao's face flushed red, and her eyes were bright: "It's, alive!"

The fish spat out another bubble, turned its body over, and slowly started swimming in the water. Although it was very slow, it was alive.

Da Qiao was very happy. She squatted in front of the wooden basin and watched for a while. Then she got up and went to the chicken coop to watch Gu Gu.

She squatted down and touched Gu Gu's butt. She didn't find any eggs, nor did she feel any eggs in the hay. She pressed her mouth together and pointed at Gu Gu, "Gu Gu, you, are, a bad, girl!"

"Gu gu." The old hen didn't know what she was talking about, cooing joyfully.

Da Qiao gave the old hen a round of lectures and then went to the kitchen to prepare lunch for her father.

It wasn't the peak farming time. Most people ate two meals a day. Her dad must eat the Chinese medicine. Because he can't take medicine on an empty stomach, it became three meals a day. She also ate three meals a day these days. It resulted in her little face plumping up.

At noon, it was still sweet potato porridge with pickle vegs. However, there was an addition of one egg. She only cooked one egg as she planned to cook the other egg tomorrow.

Seeing the extra egg, Qiao Zhen Jun was surprised: "Where did this egg come from? Did Gu Gu lay it?"

He knew that the old hen hadn't been laying eggs because Da Qiao would grumble about it to him every day.

Da Qiao shook her head and said softly: "Grandmother, gave, it."

Qiao Zhen Jun pushed the egg over: "You eat. Dad doesn't like eggs."

Da Qiao shook her head again: "Dad eat, it. Body, will, get better, faster."

Qiao Zhen Jun felt sad when he heard the words.

He was already paralyzed and will never get better in his life.

Qiao Xiu Zhi returned to Qiao's old house. Qiao family's eldest daughter-in-law, Wan Chun Ju, rushed over: "Mom, you are back! I'm going to cook lunch. Mom, give me the eggs."

Qiao Xiu Zhi raised her brows impatiently: "What egg? None!"

Qiao Xiu Zhi gave birth to three sons and two daughters in this life. Two daughters had married out and three sons at home had their own families.

Eldest, Qiao Zhen Guo and his wife, Wan Chun Ju had one son and two daughters. Their son Qiao An Ping was the only male in the third generation of Qiao Family.

Second was Qiao Zhen Jun. His wife was Fang Xiao Juan. The two couples gave birth to twin daughters, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao.

Qiao Zhen Min, the fifth child, was currently working as a temporary transporter in the town's supply and marketing cooperative. He was married to a town girl, Chen Qiao Qiao. They had been married for five years and have only one daughter.

Wan Chun Ju instantly became anxious: "Mom, didn't you just get five eggs from Song Family and Gou Dan's mother? How come there's none?"

Although Qiao Family's conditions were better than those of other families in the village, it wasn't farming peak time. The family can only drink porridge with pickles every day. It became so bland in her mouth, that birds can pop out.

The old hen in the family was killing her. It hadn't laid an egg for half a month. According to her, a hen who can't lay eggs should be killed and eaten. But it wasn't the New Year yet, so this chicken can't be killed either.

She heard her mother-in-law gotten five eggs from Song Family and Gou Dan's mother and had long made a plan.

Of the five eggs, two were reserved for Father-in-law and one for An Ping. An Ping was the only grandson of Qiao Family. Of course, he can eat a whole one. The remaining two were to be used in scrambled eggs with tomatoes and scrambled eggs with chives. A hearty meal for everyone.

Now that her mother-in-law says there are no eggs, how can she not worry?

Qiao Xiu Zhi pushed her away: "I gave Da Qiao and old Second four eggs. Don't think about the remaining one." Naturally, the remaining one was to nourish Xue Chuan's body.

A bolt from the blue sky!

It almost struck Wan Chun Ju into a faint: "Mom, what did you say? You gave Da Qiao and old Second four eggs. Old Second's family had already separated off. Why did you give them so many eggs?"

Old Second had already moved out. What face did he have to take the eggs from the family?

Also, as the only grandson of Qiao Family, An Ping couldn't eat an egg. Why could that calamity, Da Qiao eat an egg?

Qiao Xiu Zhi's face suddenly became stern: "The eggs belong to me. I can give them to whomever I want!"

"That's not it, Mom. It's okay if us, adults don't eat, but An Ping is the only grandson of our Qiao family. How can you not leave him an egg?"

Wan Chun Ju felt aggrieved for her son. As the only grandson of Qiao Family, he should be spoiled no matter what. However, her mother-in-law only had Father-in-law in her eyes. Whatever delicious was given to Father-in-law first.

In her opinion, they were already that old and were so affectionate all day. Have they no shame?

She can forget it if was just giving it to Father-in-law as she, the daughter-in-law don't really have any say. But did it mean by giving it to old Second? They clearly already separated off. Why give them the eggs?

Qiao Xiu Zhi was too lazy to deal with this idiot eldest daughter-in-law: "Who told you that grandson will get preferential treatment? At Qiao's house, this old lady has the final say! Not satisfied? Endure it!

Wan Chun Ju: "..."

Qiao Xiu Zhi can be said to be the least biased toward son person in the entire Dong Feng Community. She was born with supernatural power and was the only one daughter in the family. She was raised as a boy since she was a child.

After marrying Xue Chuan, she managed in and out of the house because of Xue Chuan's poor health. So she never felt that women were worse than men.

Of the three sons, only Qiao Zhen Guo gave birth to a son. Old Second and old Fifth only had daughters. She wasn't anxious about it.

No son?

Just marry a son-in-law into the family. Just like her back then.

Qiao Xiu Zhi wasn't patriarchal-minded. However, that wasn't what Wan Chun Ju thought.

She felt that she gave birth to the only boy in Qiao Family. She was a great hero of Qiao Family. Her son was the golden block of Qiao Family. The whole family should hold them, mother and son high. But Mother-in-law didn't take it seriously. This poked Wan Chun Ju's heart.

The more Wan Chun Ju thought about it, the more displeased she became. It was just that she didn't dare to stand up against her mother-in-law. Mother-in-law can kill a wild boar with a punch. If she stood up, wouldn't it be seeking death?

Qiao Zhen Guo came back from the outside. His gaze swept across the pot-black face of Wan Chun Ju. He turned around and simply pretended that he hadn't seen it.

Wan Chun Ju's face became darker: "Did you not see I'm not happy?"

Qiao Zhen Guo froze for a moment, scratching his forehead, and responded, "Which day have you been happy? Besides, your face is naturally as black as a black mountain pig. Who can tell if you are happy or unhappy?"

Wan Chun Ju: "..."

Wan Chun Ju almost vomited blood. What kind of man did she find? Only piss her off!
