Shen Hua Feng brought over Xiao Bao and Er Ya, Zhao Yu Zhen hastily expressed her gratitude: "Sister-in-law, thank you so much. These two kids aren't naughty, are they? I've troubled you."

  Shen Hua Feng's sweet mouth, speaking very pleasant to hear: "Where are the words, children all listen well, no need for me to bring anything to play with. I said your second aunt is really blessed, every child is not bad, Dabao is clever and lively, Erliao is sensible and capable, with good grades, and can't find a second one in the whole village, Xiaobao is obedient and clever, Erliao now looks like a little beauty. You just wait for the children to grow up and enjoy your blessings!"

  Everyone loves to listen to pleasant words, and Zhao Yuzhen is no exception. She was amused by Shen Huafeng's words and couldn't close her mouth. Although she knew it was flattery, she was delighted: "Look at what Big Sister said, I'm about to float up into the sky."

  After saying a few words, Shen Huafeng couldn't help but ask out of curiosity: "Second Auntie, I'm asking too much, how much did your family spend on this tricycle? It can't be cheap, right?" Her own family hadn't even spared the money to buy one yet, they only had a flatbed cart. She was aware of Old Second's family situation and found it strange that they had come up with the money for a tricycle.

  Zhao Yuzhen was very clear about what Shen Huafeng really wanted to ask, so she deliberately brought up the matter of borrowing money from her younger sister: "This tricycle costs over 110 yuan. You know our family's situation, where would we get that much money? My husband thought of going to slaughter pigs and then selling pork at the market. He can't do this business without a tricycle. This money was borrowed from my younger sister. We originally planned to borrow only 100 yuan, but she insisted on lending us another 10 yuan, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to afford it."

  This conversation was obviously meant for Shen Huafeng to hear, and the clever Shen Huafeng naturally understood its meaning: Lao Er and his wife didn't borrow money from Old Lady Zhang who lived next door, but instead went to their niece in a neighboring village. Of course, it's because they were afraid that even if she had the money, she wouldn't be willing to lend it to them. To be honest, she definitely wasn't willing to lend such a large sum of money to others.

  Shen Hua Feng shifted the topic somewhat awkwardly: "Are you planning to sell pork? Then we'll have a place to buy meat in the future. See what else is lacking and tell me, our two families are close brothers, no need to be polite."

  It's better to stop while you're ahead, and you can't really get people annoyed. Zhao Yu Zhen saw the opportunity and continued with her sister-in-law's words: "You know what, big sister, I actually wanted to ask for a favor from you guys. I was thinking that in the future when I go to the market to sell meat, I'll need a chopping board too, so..."

  Shen Hua Feng patted his chest and agreed in one breath: "Alright, I'll take care of this. We happen to have some good wood at home that's suitable for making a large table. I'll get your brother to make a sturdy and durable chopping board for you, consider it a gift from me and your brother."

  Zhao Yuzhen couldn't help but admire her sister-in-law's tact, effortlessly sidestepping the awkward "borrowing money" issue and even sending over a personal gift. However, this was indeed what they needed at the moment, and she sincerely thanked Shen Huafeng on the spot.

  The two sisters-in-law had a secret confrontation on this side, while the two brothers were chatting on that side.

  When Zhou Guofu learned that his younger brother had borrowed money from their sister in a neighboring village, he complained: "Second brother, when you're having difficulties, why didn't you come and tell me? I won't mention more, but one or two hundred yuan I can still take out. You went to borrow money from our sister, isn't this making me lose face? Our sister must be thinking that I'm not a good older brother for not lending you money. How am I supposed to talk to her in the future? She won't say a couple of words to me, that's strange."

  Zhou Guoqiang had always gotten along well with his brother, and on ordinary days, his brother was still quite good to him. Their family had also received a lot of help from them. At this time, after hearing his brother's complaints, he hastily explained: "Big brother, I wasn't thinking that your family just bought a TV and might not have the money handy, so I didn't dare ask you." What he didn't say was how Shen Huafeng could possibly agree to lend him so much money.

  Zhou Guofu also knew his wife's personality and didn't say anything more for the time being.

  At this time, Shen Huafeng walked over and said to her husband: "Haizi's dad, I've agreed on your behalf with Erniang. You have to make a good chopping board for them. Although you can't help with other things, this is your specialty, so do it well and let Erniang use it for a few more years."

  Zhou Guofu had no objection, and immediately got busy at home. In less than two days, a thick and sturdy long case board was delivered, which was obviously made of good materials.

  Zhou Guoqiang was also a connoisseur, the large table at home used this kind of wood, very sturdy. He thanked his brother and happily carried the chopping board into the house with Zhao Yuzhen.

  The four siblings of the Zhou family all knew about the sale of pork at home and were all delighted.

  Of course, the reasons for happiness vary from person to person.

  Dabao's mouth watered at the thought of being able to eat more meat from now on.

  Zhou Xiaoyun was delighted that her parents had finally embarked on the path of doing business, and although others didn't know, she knew very well that many people who did business later became rich. The trajectory of the Zhou family's life finally began to change slowly.

  As for how big this change will be, it will naturally become clear later on.

  Dabao quickly learned to ride a tricycle, pulling Xiaobao and Er Ya around everywhere. He also wanted to take Zhou Xiaoyun along, but unfortunately, Zhou Xiaoyun didn't trust his skills and refused to sit on it.

  It turns out that Zhou Xiaoyun's worries are not unreasonable. The tricycle has three wheels, and there is a pothole that can easily lean to one side or even fall over. Moreover, the handlebars shake left and right, and the brake lever is long and small, making it difficult to operate. Anyway, Zhou Xiaoyun won't ride a tricycle.

  However, Dabao's performance was impressive. At first, he rode the tricycle crookedly, but after getting familiar with it, he rode very fast and turned corners nimbly.

  He rode a tricycle in the village, back and forth, making a bunch of kids itch. Soon, the children on the car changed from two to four, four to six, until eight could no longer sit down.

  The children who didn't squeeze onto the bus ran after it, begging those on board to get off and let them take turns sitting down.

  Dabao enjoyed this feeling, mighty like a great general. Unfortunately, after playing for three or four days, the tricycle was ridden away by Zhou Guoqiang to collect pigs.
