Chapter 1687 Steamed EggChapter 1687 Steamed Egg
"Is that so! Oh my! I must be too blind to see! I'll go home and do farming now!" Zhang Cai quickly ran back home to plow the land and sow the seeds.
When Qiao Mei first gave them the seeds, they were all quite skeptical. After all, every inch of land at home was very precious to them. The crops were meant to supplement their families' needs. If the seeds Qiao Mei gave them turned out to be lousy seeds, then they would not have any additional food for the year!
Their families would starve if they just depended on the men's salary! Each of them had at least two children, and some families even had four to five children!
Having girls was not that bad as they did not eat much. A family with many boys had it tough! The boys could finish one big pot of rice in one meal and they might not even be full yet! The only way out was to grow more food at home.
Now that they knew that these seeds were the same batch as those being sent out for foreign trade, they would still plant them even if the seeds were lousy! It would still sound good when word got out!

After dealing with these women, Qiao Mei was about to heave a sigh of relief when she turned around and saw Miao Le standing at the side with Zhuang Zhuang in her arms and looking at Qiao Mei eagerly. Qiao Mei pretended not to see them and was about to leave with the bucket when Miao Le blocked her way.
"Sister-in-law! Where are you going?" Miao Le asked.
Qiao Mei looked at Miao Le, a little lost for words, and said, "I'm standing in front of my main door. When can I go except into my own house?"
"Sister-in-law, I've been listening in for a long time. Is this car really yours?" Miao Le asked.
"If you've been listening for so long, how can you not know that this car is mine?" Qiao Mei did not want to waste her breath on Miao Le and wanted to open the door to enter the house, but Miao Le continued to block the way and refused to let Qiao Mei go in.
Qiao Mei took a few steps back and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Um… I have brought Zhuang Zhuang here to play with your Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan. I wonder if it's convenient for you?" Miao Le said shamelessly.
They were all neighbors and the men from each family were also colleagues. It would not look good if they did not get along. Qiao Mei did not want to be so calculative with Miao Le, so she let Miao Le into the house so that the children could play together.
Qiao Mei kept her eyes on Xia Fan and Xia Xing. If Miao Le crossed the line, she would immediately put a stop to it .
However, after observing for a long time, it seemed that Miao Le had really brought the child here to play. She was also very patient with Xia Fan and Xia Xing, but the two children did not seem to appreciate her kindness.
Xia Fan and Xia Xing were more curious about Zhuang Zhuang. They had not seen many children around the same age as them. Occasionally, Zhuang Zhuang would also babble a few words and the three children seemed to be testing one another. No one could understand what they were saying. Perhaps only the three of them could understand what they were saying.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen it was time for lunch, Qiao Mei was not very hungry. However, the two children needed to eat. Since Qiao Mei did not want to seem stingy, she had no choice but to make an extra portion for Zhuang Zhuang. The two children were still not old enough to be completely weaned from powdered milk, so she made some steamed egg.
As for Zhuang Zhuang… he was older and should be able to eat a bowl of steamed egg on his own. Qiao Mei also made some mushy vegetables for him, wanting him to eat more.
"Feed this to the child." Qiao Mei handed the steamed egg and mushy vegetables to Miao Le.
Xia Fan and Xia Xing could eat on their own without help from the adults. Although they would end up getting food all over themselves, Qiao Mei was not too fussy about it. It was just a matter of washing clothes. She thought that it was better to start training the children early.
Miao Le was so excited that she almost cried. She slowly fed the mushy vegetables to Zhuang Zhuang, who ate everything up enthusiastically. This was the first time Miao Le had seen him eat so happily.
After he finished the mushy vegetables, Miao Le started eating the steamed egg herself. Qiao Mei was dumbfounded by what she saw through the glass pane. She finally knew why Zhuang Zhuang was still so skinny despite his age.
With such an aunt, even an immortal would not be able to help Zhuang Zhuang gain weight.
"You ate the steamed egg?" Qiao Mei could not help but ask.
"Huh… Isn't it for me?" Miao Le asked as she held the bowl.
"Never mind…" Qiao Mei did not want to say anything else. Zhuang Zhuang was not her child and had nothing to do with her. He could stay hungry.
