Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

The sun climbed up from behind the eastern mountain, golden yellow, just like an egg yolk.

Li Xiulan sat in the passenger seat of Wang Erhai's car.

The small sedan moved slowly forward along the mountain highway.

Li Xiulan watched the sunrise outside the car window, thinking of her chickens.

Chickens lay eggs.

"Erhai, the chickens have laid eggs, remember to go to their nests and collect them, otherwise once they've laid a sufficient quantity, they'll stop laying."

Li Xiulan suddenly instructed Wang Erhai like this.

"Got it, Mom."

Wang Erhai drove the car, and there was another sharp turn ahead.

"Drive slowly, those eggs in the trunk, don't let them break."

Li Xiulan reminded him again.

Wang Erhai patiently replied:

"Don't worry, Mom, they're in buckets, and the buckets are filled with rice, they won't break."

Li Xiulan said instead:

"It's better to drive slowly, otherwise they'll topple and smash in your trunk, and getting it dirty wouldn't be good."

Wang Erhai smiled helplessly:

"Okay, Mom, then I'll drive slowly."

Li Xiulan said again at this time:

"The vegetables in the vegetable garden, either water them in the morning, or go water them before night falls, when the sun is too big, don't water them."

"Okay, okay."

"Chicken manure needs to ferment for a short term, add wood ash and mix evenly, before taking it to the vegetable garden to apply fertilizer."

"Okay, Mom."

"Those three dogs, tie them up with rope, once winter arrives, dog thieves will increase."

"I'll tie them up inside the farm."

Li Xiulan reminded Wang Erhai of many words.

But in her heart she was still not at ease.

Bottom line, she was somewhat reluctant to leave Shanggou Village.

This village, she had lived in for nearly a lifetime.

Ever since marrying Wang Zhanggen, she hadn't really left again.

And now, she was going down to Guangzhou, to live with her eldest brother, Eldest Brother, help raise the child, share housework, and at the same time, also be able to pass by and live the leisurely life of city people.

By principle, this is a good thing.

But Li Xiulan's heart was still not at ease.

When the car was about to arrive at the town, Li Xiulan suddenly thought of:

"I didn't bring my toothpaste and toothbrush, should we turn back to get them?"

Wang Erhai said:

"No need, once we arrive in Guangzhou, let Eldest Brother buy you new ones."

"In the city, won't it be more expensive?"

"No! It's cheaper in the city! The city has big supermarkets, vegetables and fruits, things to eat, wear, and use, most are a bit cheaper than in the town."

Li Xiulan showed a face full of inconceivable:

"Really or fake?"

This was not her first time going to Guangzhou.

She had gone several times to that villa bought by Wang Dashan and Du Xiaojuan.

But every time she went, she hadn't gone to stroll in the supermarket.

Wang Dashan and Du Xiaojuan didn't need her help buying things, and she herself didn't dare to go stroll.

Afterward, it might be that she needed to go buy things herself.

She was a bit afraid, afraid that once she went, she wouldn't be able to find the way back.

Afraid that inside the supermarket, she wouldn't know how to settle the account.

Afraid of breaking other people's things.

"Really! Mom, I'm not deceiving you, the price level in the city is actually lower than our county town and town!"

Wang Erhai spoke firmly, and added a sentence: "Of course, those old ladies' own grown vegetables and fruits, taken to the street to set up stalls for sale, naturally are a bit cheaper than in the city, but the town's small supermarkets, small restaurants, stalls specifically selling vegetables and fruits, are all more expensive than in the city!"

Wang Erhai did not speak false words.

But Li Xiulan still didn't quite believe it.

She remembered when she was young, the city's prices far exceeded the county town and town's.

How now, it had reversed instead?

She had little experience, naturally didn't know why.

But what Wang Erhai said was indeed an indisputable fact.

At some unknown point, a phenomenon of inverted prices appeared between first-tier big cities and eighteenth-tier small counties.

The consumption level for eating, drinking, defecating, and urinating was instead cheaper in big cities and more expensive in small counties.

The only advantage of a small county was probably that house prices were lower and renting was cheaper.

Living expenses were not necessarily less than in big cities.

"Don't know how Xiao Juan usually raises her child……"

Li Xiulan suddenly uttered this sentence.

Her face carried worry and suffering.

Seeming heavily burdened with cares.

In fact, she had already been heavily burdened with cares for most of her life.

"How else to raise? Just take good care of the child's eating, drinking, defecating, and urinating. However you raised us before, that's how you raise your grandson now."

Wang Erhai had never raised a baby either, so he was a bit presumptuous.

Li Xiulan hurriedly said:

"That probably won't do. Before when I raised you three brothers, as long as there was food to eat it was fine, raising you scattered like pigs, dogs, cows, and sheep. I was pregnant with Xiao Hua and went to pick mulberry leaves, and brought you and Dashan along. You were only a little over one year old then, playing on the field ridge, got bitten by ants and cried. Do you still remember?"

Wang Erhai smiled:

"Something from when I was a little over one year old, how could I still remember?"

He truly had not the slightest impression left.

Yet Li Xiulan still remembered very clearly.

Because when Wang Erhai was bitten by ants and cried in the mulberry field that time, Yang Dafu also came running to the mulberry field, and threatened her with family planning matters and the child's household registration.

It was precisely from that time on that her peaceful life began to stir with waves.

For a very long period, she bore the infamy of a promiscuous reputation.

Li Xiulan didn't want to recall these painful past events, but these past events floated up in her mind uncontrollably.

"Xiao Juan should dote on her son very much, spoiling him like a gold nugget. How could she possibly raise him scattered?"

Li Xiulan muttered to herself.

Wang Erhai then said:

"Too much spoiling is no good either, easy to spoil rotten!"

Then he said again:

"Big Brother and Eldest Sister-in-law let you do however, you just do however."

Li Xiulan nodded.

The small sedan arrived at the highway entrance.

Got on the highway.

The car speed started to speed up.

The mountains by the window, and that golden-yellow sun, continuously retreated backward.

Morning just past nine o'clock.

Wang Erhai then carried Li Xiulan and arrived at Wang Dashan and Du Xiaojuan's villa side.

Drove the car into the villa's private parking space.

Wang Dashan hurriedly came out to welcome.

Took the initiative to open the passenger seat door, supporting Li Xiulan out.

Li Xiulan had just gotten out of the car, not seeing Du Xiaojuan, hurriedly asked:

"Where's Xiao Juan?"

Wang Dashan then said:

"Xiao Juan went to work. Now it's all me at home raising the baby, and we also hired a live-in nanny to help. That live-in nanny previously went back to Shanggou Village with Xiao Juan. Mother, you've seen her."

Li Xiulan nodded, then said:

"Hiring a nanny, this probably costs quite a bit of money, right?"

Wang Dashan smiled:

"Xiao Juan insisted on hiring. I said you came, so we could dismiss her, but Xiao Juan wasn't willing."

Li Xiulan didn't say anything more.

Wang Erhai spoke at this time:

"Big Brother, Mother brought quite a lot of local specialties, in the trunk. Let's bring them all in together!"

Wang Dashan went to open the trunk, only to see large and small packages packed full of various things.

Winter melon, pumpkin, sweet potato, dried vegetables, dried radish, slaughtered chicken, a big jar of home-brewed glutinous rice wine, a big bucket full of eggs……

"Mother, why did you bring these down? You coming is enough!"

Wang Dashan's brows slightly furrowed as he said this.

Li Xiulan then said:

"Isn't Erhai's car convenient? I just thought to bring a bit more down. The old hen at home, for stewing chicken soup, to supplement Xiao Juan's body! Glutinous rice wine boiled eggs, can also eat more, promotes milk production!"

Wang Dashan however said:

"Xiao Juan has already weaned."

Li Xiulan was surprised:

"Weaned this fast……"
