The next day, Yulan had something to go home, and Chen Dong'er wanted to play with her when she was idle and bored. In order to avoid Chen Mier's annoying spirit, He Shikai followed silently.

Yulan was still annoyed by He Shikai's framing of her yesterday, and she didn't want to take him with her, but seeing He Shikai carrying a point-and-shoot camera in his hand, Yulan stopped talking.

This season is the time when the mountains are full of flowers, the wild is full of scenery, Magnolia wants to see the azaleas, He Shikai brought a camera, and when the time comes, let him help take more beautiful scenery, and integrate these natural elements into the design, the effect must be very good.

Thinking like this, Magnolia will not reject it.

The three of them walked slowly. Chen Dong'er rarely goes out to shop, she always follows He Xiaoshuang to other people's homes as a guest, or goes to the town to the city, so although this baby grew up in the countryside, she really doesn't understand anything.

As for He Shikai, it's not that Yulan is prejudiced against him, but that the children who grew up in the city always have a prejudice engraved in their bones against the countrymen, although many people may not even be able to distinguish between leeks and wheat seedlings, but it does not prevent them from showing their superiority in front of the countrymen.

Yulan didn't hesitate to classify He Shikai into the category of people who couldn't tell the difference between leeks and wheat seedlings, so she didn't bother to ask.

If He Shikai knew that Yulan thought so, he would definitely be very depressed, but you asked, who said I didn't understand anything!

When he saw a small round hole on the side of the road that was covered in mud, he asked Magnolia, "What kind of hole is this, and will there be dead bodies hidden in it?"

Yulan covered her face, "It's not a tomb cave, how can there be dead bodies?!Don't scare yourself?" I had to explain to her that those holes were used by the locals to store sweet potatoes.

The hole is covered with hay, and the sweet potatoes that are selected for seed during the harvest season are put into the hole, and then the hole is sealed to prevent the frost and snow from freezing the seeds in the cold winter. When it is time to sow seeds in the spring, dig the holes, pick and choose, and throw away some rotten ones, and some of the budding ones are just right for breeding.

Excess sweet potatoes can be eaten, can be ground flour, can be eaten raw, after the baptism of the cold winter, these sweet potatoes taste more sweet and sweet.

Yulan felt that it was better to eat raw, but Li Aihua scared her: if you eat too many raw sweet potatoes, roundworms will grow in your stomach. Yulan suddenly lost her appetite and refused to eat any more. Ahem, you don't have to say this to Dong'er.

He Shikai is a good person, and when he saw Yulan's appearance, he always felt that she hadn't finished speaking, but after waiting for a long time, Yulan stopped talking, and his eyes suddenly narrowed.

Chen Dong'er didn't understand this, and when she saw a pink and red flower on the hillside, she cheered and rushed up the hillside. Yulan laughed, she looked back at He Shikai and said, "Your camera can come in handy, this season, it's a pity that the rhododendrons all over the mountains don't take pictures." ”

He Shikai glanced at the fat girl, she tilted her head, her eyes were round, and she spoke old-fashioned, she was really damn cute, he wanted to reach out and touch her head.

However, Yulan will definitely not give him this opportunity, He Shikai is very self-aware. Yesterday, in order to transfer the clingy little girl, I took advantage of her, but the fat girl's expression was eager to pounce on him and bite him. Her sullen expression, which she obviously wanted to do but tried to restrain herself, made him laugh all night.

So don't look at her smiling now, I can't tell if I'm holding back something bad in my heart. He Shikai didn't dare to provoke her again, and said "um" concisely.

Yulan was satisfied, nodded, followed Chen Dong'er, and walked towards a blooming flower tree.

The branches of the mountain flowers stretched, like naughty children, and stretched out their arms vigorously, and the brown branches were scattered with large flowers. Some of the flowers have verdant leaves under them, supported at the bottom of the flowers, and the real green leaves are lined with red flowers.

Chen Dong'er rushed to the flowers, raised his hand to grab a branch of flowers and broke it down, like a bear breaking corn, and was sprinkled with dew, and Magnolia leaned forward and leaned back with a smile on a thin dwarf pine. He Shikai followed silently, and the point-and-shoot camera clicked at the fat girl who was smiling and revealing her missing two front teeth.

Chen Dong'er waved the flower branch that was finally torn off at Yulan, and shouted at Yulan: "Hurry up, hurry up, pick more!"

Yulan shook her head, took out a handkerchief from her backpack and wiped Chen Dong'er's face, watching her play, Yulan secretly wondered: Next time she takes him to pick wild fruits and mushrooms, will the little girl be crazy?

Anyway, rural children have a lot of fun, go up the mountain to pick fruits, go down to the field to touch the snails, and they will not be bored all year round.

He Shikai picked a flower from the clean branch next to him, pinched off the flower holder and removed the flower pedicle, rubbed the petals and stuffed them into his mouth, and his taste buds were immediately captured by the sweetness of the fragrance.

Yulan looked up and was immediately surprised when she saw this scene. He Meiren looked like he didn't know the fireworks in the world, shouldn't it be enough to drink fairy dew and smell the fragrance of flowers? An action of eating flowers suddenly made him fall from the clouds to the ground, which felt too disillusioned.

Retracting her gaze, Yulan also took off the petals in He Shikai's movements, shook them, and stuffed them into Chen Dong'er's mouth. Foodie Chen Dong'er suddenly smiled and squinted, grabbed a handful of flowers and stuffed them into his mouth regardless of it, chewed and chewed a few times, and spit it out again and again.

Magnolia smiled and bent over, this unlucky kid is very careless, and he stuffs the flower pedicle into his mouth without removing it, can it taste good?

The three of them had eaten enough petals, taken enough photos, and saw that the sun was already high, so they couldn't stop playing.

He Shikai was holding a large bouquet of flowers in his hand, a small schoolbag of magnolia was hanging on his shoulders, the sleeves of his plaid shirt were rolled up high, his hair was a little messy, his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and his cheeks were like good rouge, and the white was red. Under the sun, I don't know if people are more delicate than flowers or flowers, which are very eye-catching.

Magnolia suddenly felt that her old aunt's heart began to pound.

He Shikai looked at the flowers in his arms, and then looked at the little girl who was smiling awkwardly, put down the bouquet, and pulled out two long flower branches from it, twisted around them into two flower crowns, and buckled them on the heads of Magnolia and Chen Dong'er.

Chen Dong'er looked at everything strangely all the way, and the result was that He Shikai had another cluster of purple lilies in his hand, two half-opened double-petaled hibiscus flowers.

Seeing the door of the house from afar, Yulan finally breathed a sigh of relief, usually only half an hour away, but walked for three or four hours, tired to death.

Li Aihua sent away a wave of guests, and he didn't pack up his things, leaving the old and the young aside, and hiding in the room to wipe his tears. These people who came here today were the ones who told her last time that they had relatives and friends who were going to work in the Jade Book Factory. However, it is said that all the people who went to the factory were returned, and none of them were asked. Those people spoke beautifully when they interceded, but now they can't go, although they didn't tear their faces, but what they said outside the words was not good.

"Just then I started to float with a little money, and my relatives didn't recognize it. ”

"Didn't you say that your son's factory was contracted in? Why do you still have to interview? If you don't want to recruit, just say it, who is bluffing?"

"That big girl in your family is really amazing, she has a clever mouth, and several people can't talk about her. However, Aihua, you have to teach your daughter well, the girl is too strong and her life is not good. ”

Such words, Li Aihua really couldn't laugh when he heard it, how embarrassed he was before, and how embarrassed he was today.

She blamed everything on Yumei's arrogance, she felt that if Yumei hadn't offended people by speaking, people wouldn't have given her no face.

Li Aihua didn't feel that she had done anything wrong, people complained about her, she blamed everything on Yumei's head, she felt that her daughter was too unfilial, she knew that these people were introduced by the old lady, and she was ruthless when she should have rushed and refused, and stepped on the old lady's face on the ground.

Therefore, Yumei has not yet arrived home, Li Aihua has already piled up a mountain of sadness and anger, and just waiting for a vent to erupt a volcano.

Yulan took a big and a small two people, and when she came home, she only saw her grandmother playing with Yuzhu, she walked over and touched Yuzhu's head, she didn't see her for a while, Yuzhu was unfamiliar with her, and when she saw Yulan touching her head, she shook her head and didn't let Yulan touch it, but reached out to grab the flower crown on Yulan's head.

Yulan scolded with a smile: "Little one has no conscience." He took off the flower crown and buckled it on the little girl's head, and when he turned around, he didn't see Li Aihua, so he asked his grandmother: "Where is my aunt?"

Grandma Nunu said in the direction of the house, "In the house, I just sent off a guest, and I'm in a bad mood." ”

Magnolia doesn't know why, it's important to branch the guests first. She said to Chen Dong'er: "Do you want to go to the bamboo forest to have a look, you can go digging spring bamboo shoots?" For Chen Dong'er, as long as it is fresh and fun, it can attract her attention. As for He Shikai, there was no need to find an excuse, so he stuffed a small hoe into his hand and said, "You take Dong'er to dig bamboo shoots first, I have something to tell my aunt, and I'll look for you when I'm done." ”

He Shikai glanced at the fat girl, looked at the little hoe over and over again and didn't speak, the fat girl now instructed him to be more and more comfortable. glanced at the fat girl again, and saw that she was a little anxious in her eyes, so she nodded, turned her head and motioned for Chen Dong'er to follow, and took the lead to go out to the back of the house.

Yulan breathed a sigh of relief, He Shikai has always looked like a living person should not enter, she originally thought that he was not easy to approach, but she didn't expect to be unexpectedly easy to speak.

Seeing that the two of them walked away, Yulan stepped into the room in three or two steps, and saw Li Aihua sitting on the edge of the bed wiping her tears. She cried so hard that she had suppressed sobs, and she didn't even notice that Magnolia pushed the door in.

Yulan walked up to her, looked at her eyes red, and felt anxious. "Auntie, where do you hurt?"

Li Aihua looked up at Yulan, her eyes were red, and asked her, "Why did you come back today?" Without waiting for Yulan to answer, she said again: "People's mother values you and treats you well, you have to be obedient, do you know?"

Magnolia nodded and said, "I see." What's wrong with you?"

Li Aihua looked at her daughter with curiosity on her face, and suddenly had the desire to speak.

"Your sister is really bigger and bigger. As soon as our family opened the factory, she was crazy, and she didn't listen to what I said. The villagers wanted to go there to work and greeted me, so I thought, anyway, I have to recruit people, wouldn't it be more reassuring to recruit my own people? And guess what?"

Yulan followed her words and asked, "What did Sister do to make you so angry?"

Li Aihua was angry when she said this, she stretched out her hand and patted the edge of the bed, and said angrily: "She didn't confiscate any of them, what did she say that she was not qualified? That's what she said? Isn't she and your eldest brother having the final say about whether she is qualified or not? Why do you care what others think? Everyone has said that your sister is talking ugly, and if you don't accept it, you won't accept it, and she speaks so harshly." She is a big girl, and she is said to be arrogant and mean, can that reputation still be good? She is 18 years old, and she is about to say goodbye, and as soon as her arrogant reputation spreads, who will dare to ask her?"

Yulan put the words in order in her heart, to the effect that A-Niang packed the ticket to let people enter the factory, Sister felt that those people could not meet the requirements for confiscation, and people were unhappy to go to A-Niang to say bad things about A-Niang, and A-Niang felt that A-Niang didn't give her face when she listened to others' words. It would be good to know the ins and outs, so Yulan asked Li Aihua: "Then what are you angry about, is it that Sister A confiscated people, do you feel that you have lost face? Or do people say that Sister Ah is arrogant, and you are worried that Sister Ah will not find anyone?"

Li Aihua stopped crying, she felt very troubled, panicked in her heart, and wanted to cry, she had been crying for a long time just now, and then she heard her daughter ask, she thought about it, and then said uncertainly: "Both, yes?"

Yulan laughed, stretched out her thumb to wipe away the tears on Li Aihua's face, and said, "Auntie, you have to believe Sister, many workers in our factory are from the village, and if you can accept Sister, you must have accepted them, and there must be a reason why she doesn't accept them." Why don't you go back and ask her?"

Li Aihua asked suspiciously: "Is that so?" But when they came to the house, they said that your sister not only drove people away, but also spoke very badly, saying that your sister is very crazy?"

Yulan really wants to cover her face, when will Ah Niang's temper of listening to the wind and rain change, can't she have more confidence in Sister A? But the words still have to be said well, Ah Niang is really glassy sometimes. "How do you know that Sister A's words are ugly? Did they say that Sister A's words were bad?"

Li Aihua shook his head: "I didn't say that, just say that your sister speaks ugly." ”

Yulan thought for a while and said, "Ah Niang, when everyone speaks, they must say it in their own favor." You don't know what they said to each other, there is no way to judge who is right and who is wrong, just hearing them say that Sister A's words are ugly, you think it is Sister A's fault, which is unfair to Sister A. ”

Li Aihua's heart was a little loose, but he still said stiffly: "Then can't she speak tactfully?

Yulan thinks that A-Niang is too face-loving, speaking of which, this matter is caused by A-Niang's inability to wipe off her face, but Yulan feels that if she says this directly, A-Niang will definitely not be able to lift up, but it is easy to intensify the contradiction between A-Niang and her, so let's not talk about it first, as for A-Niang's marriage, it's not too early, what's the hurry?

"Auntie, the eldest brother asked Sister Ah to repeat her studies in September, and when she goes to high school and college, it's still very early to say goodbye. In a few years, when our family's conditions are better, Sister is still afraid that she won't find anyone?"

Li Aihua stopped talking, and Yulan thought she had figured it out, so she stopped talking. But I don't know that once a stubborn person identifies a problem, it is definitely not possible to reverse the concept in three or two sentences.
