"Niuniu, you are so lucky. I haven't found duck eggs in the reed marsh for a long time!" Gu Daya said with emotion.

Niuniu saw that all her companions were very happy, and she also laughed. As an adopted child, the most fearful thing was to be hated by the original children of this family.

"Grandma! Grandma! Look what we brought back!"

As soon as the children entered the Gu family's yard, they shouted happily.

Old Mrs. Gu was cleaning the chicken coop, and she was not very happy to hear this: "Just don't cause trouble for me, I don't expect you to bring back any good things!"

But when she really saw the duck eggs in their hands, Old Mrs. Gu narrowed her eyes with a smile and said: "It's not in vain that I love you. You know to bring back good things when you pick them up!"

The two sons of the eldest room who had just come back from the wild outside were instantly guilty when they heard this. What good things they got outside were eaten secretly by themselves, and they never thought about home at all.

Grandma Gu collected the wild duck eggs and said, "Grandma will help you collect them first, and eat them in a few days!"

How could they not understand what Grandma Gu meant? This was to save them for guests or when the farm was busy.

Gu Daya couldn't help but complain when she heard this: "Grandma is so stingy. If we had known this, we would have eaten them outside and not brought them back!"

Grandma Gu was so angry when she heard this. Who was she saving money for? It was for this family!

Gu Mingda said, "Mom, let's fry a plate of them in the evening. The eldest brother and the third brother have been working very hard recently. Eat something good to replenish their bodies. I don't know how long these duck eggs have been in the wild. It would be bad if they were left bad."

Grandma Gu always listened to Gu Mingda's words. Seeing that he insisted again and again, she could only reluctantly say, "A bunch of greedy ghosts!"

Gu Mingda asked the children again, "Who found the wild duck eggs?"

Gu Daya pointed at Niuniu.

Old Lady Gu was the first to laugh and said, "The Zhang family said that our Niu Niu was a jinx, but she is obviously a lucky star! I haven't found wild duck eggs in the reed marsh for a long time. I thought all the wild ducks had run away!"

After handing over the eggs, the children rushed to the backyard with reeds.

"Grandpa! Grandpa! Teach us how to weave baskets!"

They put the reeds in front of Old Man Gu.

Old Man Gu accurately skipped over the others and looked straight at Niu Niu: "Nan Nan..."

Gu Daya had long been accustomed to Grandpa's confusion and corrected him: "Grandpa, this is Niu Niu, not Nan Nan!"

But Old Man Gu still habitually called out: "Nan Nan..."

Gu Daya was speechless.

Niu Niu took two steps forward and said softly, "Grandpa, I'm Niu Niu, my full name is Gu Xi."

After hearing this, Father Gu stopped calling her by that name. After staring at Niu Niu for a long time, he said helplessly, "Just call her Niu Niu. As long as you come back, don't leave me."

Listening to the old man's lonely tone, the children present, although young, suddenly had an urge to cry.

Father Gu picked up the dry reeds again and said, "Niu Niu asked me to weave a basket..."

He took it and started weaving. Gu Yan gave him some pointers and watched them weave the way they wanted.

While watching, several children also learned, but Father Gu's movements seemed too fast and they basically didn't remember them.

"Grandpa, slow down!" Niu Niu whispered.

Gu Daya said, "Niu Niu, Grandpa doesn't pay attention to people when he's working. It's useless to tell him."

But strangely, as Niu Niu called out, Father Gu's movements actually slowed down.

When two frames that met the requirements were woven, several children really learned it.

The others ran forward with their things, but Gu Laodi pulled Niu Niu back. He searched his body for a long time and finally found a handful of wild chestnuts.

"Niu Niu, eat. Niu Niu is not in good health. You should eat more good food." Gu Laodi said vaguely.

Elders secretly give snacks to children. This is the treatment that only the most favored children in the family can get. Niu Niu never thought that she, a person without blood relationship, could be so favored by her grandfather.

"Go and play quickly. Be careful when playing with Xiaocao and others. Don't hit your head again!" Gu Laodi warned.

Niu Niu was confused. She didn't know who Xiaocao was at all. She went into the kitchen with this question.

"Grandma, who is Xiaocao? Grandpa told me to be careful when playing with her, don't hit my head..." Niu Niu asked in a low voice.

After hearing this, Gu Laodi froze for a moment and said, "That's your aunt's playmate. You don't have to care."

Niu Niu nodded as if she understood.

Before she left, Old Lady Gu grabbed her again and stuffed a boiled duck egg into Niu Niu's pocket.

"I'll give you the milk, don't tell anyone else, understand?" Old Lady Gu warned.

After receiving special care from two elders in succession, Niu Niu's little face was blank for a moment.

Looking at the little girl's lovable appearance, Old Lady Gu pinched the child's cheeks without much flesh: "You found the wild duck egg, this is a reward for you, poor child, why are you so thin, I have to find a way to make you up!"

She said this just to say, after all, the current situation at home, if the little girl really had to eat a lot of fish and meat to make her body up, the first and third rooms would probably make a scene.

Niu Niu took a bag of food and went into the second room, where Zhang Yunniang was still sewing clothes.

Niu Niu silently brought the food to her mother.

"Where did all this come from?" Zhang Yunniang asked with some amusement.

"My grandparents secretly gave it to me, and I gave it to my mother to eat." Niu Niu smiled sweetly when she said this.

Zhang Yuniang thought of those brats in her family and secretly thought that her daughter was still considerate.

"If mother doesn't want to eat, you can eat it yourself." As a mother, she would not compete with her daughter for food.

Niu Niu then said: "The mother will share the food with the brothers. The brothers are boys and they need to eat better..."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuniang put down the needle and thread in her hand and asked, "Who taught you these words?"

Niu Niu whispered: "It was Zhang's grandma who taught me. She said that when you have good things, you should not only think about yourself, but also think about your brothers at home."

Zhang Yunniang scolded her stepmother in her heart for teaching bad children, and warned: "The Gu family doesn't have these rules. Just forget all the things you learned in the Zhang family, okay?"

Niuniu nodded after hearing this, but her face was full of anxiety and she asked: "Did I do something wrong?"

The little girl just came to this house. Zhang Yuniang knew that her heart was not settled yet, so she held her in her arms and said, "You have done nothing wrong. Even if you do, you don't have to be so afraid. Dad and mom are your relatives. We I won’t blame you.”

Niuniu snuggled into Zhang Yunniang's arms, smelling the scent of soap locust powder on her adoptive mother's body, and felt extremely at ease.

Chen Chunhua's loud voice suddenly came from outside the house: "Dad, why did you bring these dying chickens back? We can't keep them in the chicken coop at home!"
