As soon as I entered the village, I saw a boy as old as Xiao Han looking there, and when he saw them coming, he rushed over, and shouted in a series of mouths: "Aunt, uncle, cousin, cousin, cousin, you are here, why are you so slow, I have been waiting for a long time." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

This is my cousin Chen Qingming. I saw that he was wearing a lake blue cotton coat, slightly taller than himself, similar to his uncle, and also with clear eyebrows, because he had been in school for a few years, he was the same as his uncle, with a bit of bookishness, and he looked at the situation just now, he was a boy with a lively personality.

Chen was also very happy when he saw his nephew running over, and hugged him: "Qingming, I haven't seen you for half a year, you have grown taller again, and you have reached your aunt's shoulders, and you will surpass your aunt in two years." ”

"Auntie, how many times have you said it, I'm not a child anymore, don't hug me, haven't you heard of men and women kissing or not?" Chen Qingming said helplessly.

Everyone laughed when they heard it, and even Xiao Han couldn't help laughing, this cousin is so funny.

"What kind of men and women can't kiss, you are a little hairy child in the eyes of your aunt!" Chen scolded with a smile.

The spring equinox "giggled" and laughed non-stop on the side, Qingming saw that he was annoyed and angry, and stepped forward to stretch out his claws to ravage his bun face, causing the spring equinox to beg for mercy loudly.

Seeing the pain in Xiao Han's heart, my own brother has not been ravaged yet, but you took the lead. hurriedly stepped forward and broke his hand, crossed his waist and said, "Cousin, what is it that you bully the spring equinox than you, you have the ability to bully your brother!" ”

Qingming glanced at her in surprise: "Last time I heard my grandmother come back and talk about the changes in my cousin, I still didn't believe it, but I can believe it." Look at this mouth, there is a spicy taste, the whole small chili pepper, weird and choking. ”

"You!" Xiao Han was choked for a moment, thinking that this little kid was so annoying, and why was his smiling little face so hateful!

Everyone saw them arguing, and they found it very interesting. Talking and laughing, I arrived at the door of my grandmother's house.

My grandmother's house is a big brick house, although it is some years old, it is well repaired and there are no traces of dilapidation

My grandmother, my uncle, my aunt, and my cousin were already waiting at the door. Lin Jincai and his wife hurriedly ran a few steps forward to greet him, and said, "Mother, it's so cold, why are you still standing outside?" ”

Grandma smiled kindly and did not answer, and Zhao deliberately exaggerated: "Sister, brother-in-law, you don't know, my mother has been talking to you since this morning, and I always urge Qingming to go to the entrance of the village to see why you haven't arrived yet." I can see that I am jealous in my heart, when I went back to my parents' house in the second year of junior high school, why didn't my mother miss me? ”

Grandma smiled and scratched her: "When you go back to your parents' house, isn't your mother also looking forward to you, and your mother's heart is like this." When Xiaoxue grows up and gets married, you will understand. ”

"Grandma, why are you talking about me, I don't want to marry, I will accompany my grandmother and mother all my life. So my mother doesn't have to worry about me. Xiaoxue on the side pouted and said.

The fairy tale made everyone laugh. Xiao Han looked at this cousin carefully: it was about the same height as the spring equinox, her face was still childish, she looked like her aunt and uncle, her little red face, and her big black and white eyes looked very cute. She wore two pigtails on her head, and on the braid was a blue butterfly hair ornament, which was very realistic, and as her head shook slightly, it seemed to fly.

Looking at it, Xiao Han was shocked, this cousin was a little similar to the little girl he met before the car accident.

Could it be...... No way, I remember pushing her away in my memory.

She stared at Xiaoxue tightly, her mind searching for the images in her memory.

Chen Shi was very strange when he saw it, and pushed her: "Xiaohan, don't you remember your cousin?" ”

"Cousin, why are you looking at me like that?" Xiaoxue also noticed her abnormality, a little surprised, a little scared.

Everyone looked at them in amazement. Xiao Han woke up and hurriedly explained: "No, no, I see that the butterfly hair ornament my cousin is wearing on her head today is so beautiful, I have never seen such a beautiful butterfly." ”

I see, everyone is relieved, most girls like such beautiful ornaments.

Only Lixia still had doubts in his heart, he knew that his sister had never loved these things, but it was not good to ask in person. He vaguely noticed that his sister had become strange since she fell into the water, and that she had a lot of strange things in her head, and that she knew a lot of knowledge that she had never heard of, and that her behavior was strange.

Why do Lixia and He Mu have such an experience, on the one hand, because Xiao Han grew up with them and are very familiar with each other's temperament; On the other hand, because both of them are more meticulous in their minds, they can find some things that ordinary people can't find.

It's not a bad thing, on the contrary, it's a good thing, he likes a sister like this! Lixia comforted herself in her heart.

After everyone entered the house and sat down, Xiao Xue took off the butterfly hair ornament on her head, and with a little reluctance, she resolutely handed it to Xiao Han: "Cousin, since you like it, I'll give it to you." ”

Xiao Han looked at the reluctance and sincerity in her eyes, knowing that she also liked this hair accessory very much, but she still gave it to her, just because of a sentence she said inadvertently.

Xiao Han's eyes are a little moist, this is a relative! From the moment she entered this home, she was given a warm feeling everywhere.

Xiao Han took the butterfly and watched it for a while, then stood up and put it on for her in her surprised gaze, touched her head and said, "Cousin, thank you, Xiao Xue is a cute and kind good child." However, "a gentleman does not take the favor of others", your cousin understands it. Why don't you embroider a handkerchief and give it to me, I'll like it even more." ”

He raised his head again and said with a smile: "Grandma, uncle, uncle, you have educated Cousin Xiaoxue so well, you know how to be polite, educated, and kind, so people can't help but be happy when they see it." ”

Xiaoxue blushed when she heard her cousin praise herself like this, and buried her head in Zhao's arms. Everyone looked at her with a smile and pity. Hu and Zhao glanced at each other and smiled tacitly.

"Cousin, what do you think of your cousin?" Qingming saw that everyone praised his sister, and he also asked with hope, and straightened his chest. "Cousin, ......" Xiao Han stretched his tone, looked at the smile on his face, and said quickly, "It's a bully who is afraid of the hard." is still a talker, not like an uncle at all. ”

"Poof!" The spring equinox covered his mouth and smiled again, who told this cousin to bully him every time they met.

Qingming glared at the sister and brother hatefully, and said underestimated: "It's obviously a little pepper, don't let people say it!" ”

Xiao Han heard him say that he was "Little Pepper" again, and thought: I will make you a bowl of snail noodles with ingredients later, and you will know what is called Pepper!

Seeing this, Chen smiled and told the incomprehensible family about the situation just now.

The three of them all laughed when they heard it, and they were happy to see the quarrel between the children.

Zhao asked what were the white things in the bamboo basket they brought, and the red and red things in the casserole? Chen excitedly introduced Xiao Han's new invention to them.

After hearing this, everyone in the Chen family looked at her with amazement, but they didn't expect her to have so many new ideas in her mind. Especially Xiaoxue, she pounced, put her arm around her, and said coquettishly: "Cousin, cousin, you are awesome!" I envy you so much. I want to eat rice noodles, I still want to eat snail noodles, make them for me! Good no good? ”

Xiao Han looked at her wet eyes like a puppy, exactly the same as the spring equinox, and his heart immediately softened. Besides, she still looked very similar to the little girl in her previous life, so she immediately nodded and agreed.

Although Qingming also wanted to eat, but he was deflated everywhere in Xiaohan today, so he wanted to hit her hard and save face, so he pretended to be disdainful and said: "What's so great about this, it's just because of greed, so I figured out these things." Girl's family, it's not good to be greedy, you have to pay attention to virtue and appearance! ”

Xiao Han listened to his sarcastic words, but he didn't get angry. We're adults, and we don't care about children like children.

"Childish!" She said lightly, then took her cousin's hand and said, "Xiaoxue, you take me to the kitchen, and we will cook noodles and eat together." Don't drool over someone later, it will be too embarrassing and damage his image as a scholar! ”

Xiaoxue stuck out her tongue at her brother, grimaced, and couldn't wait to pull Xiaohan into the kitchen.

Zhao also followed, because you can't just eat noodles for lunch, and you have to prepare meals to entertain your eldest sister's family for the New Year.

Hu took Chen to the house to talk about himself, Lin Jincai and his brother-in-law were gossiping, and Qingming took Lixia and the spring equinox to the study to talk.

"Is the snail noodles really delicious?" Qingming asked about the spring equinox in disbelief, the spring equinox nodded violently, he turned his head to look at Lixia, and Lixia gave him a look, as if to say, "You will regret it!" ”

Qingming was a little uneasy in his heart, and then thought, anyway, after she leaves tomorrow, I will eat the same. So he relieved himself, pointed out the books in his house to his cousin and cousin, and talked about what he had learned in the school. He knew that neither his cousin nor his cousin had gone to school, and he was afraid that they would not understand, so he explained it to them in detail. There is no pride in the tone of the reader, showing that he has a good upbringing.

After listening to a few words, the spring equinox actually reconciled with him, and some aspects of his opinions were different from those told him by the gentleman.

He couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly asked who had told him all this. The spring equinox did not answer, and turned to look at Lixia.

Qingming asked in surprise: "Is it my cousin?" No way, my cousin didn't go to school, even if he did, according to my understanding of my cousin's character, my cousin couldn't have these novel insights. Tell me, who the hell said that? ”

The two brothers saw that he asked him again and again, and because they had always had a good relationship with him, they told him that these were all said by Xiaohan.

Qingming stayed for a while, feeling that his self-esteem had been hit. She has such an opinion in her eyes. He muttered, "Sure enough, it's a veritable little pepper!" ”

Seeing his eyes wide and in a daze, Lixia snickered in his heart, thinking that if you listen to the story of "Journey to the West" and know Arabic numerals, I'm afraid your eyes will pop out.

**********

In the Hu family's room, Chen and his mother told about the recent events, especially what happened when the Lin family came to the house on the second day of junior high school, but they only hid the fact that Han Guining came to Xiaohan's room on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve. It's about the reputation of the daughter, even if it's the mother, you can't say it.

Hu Shi was also very angry when he heard this: "When you got married, the first time I dealt with her, I knew that she was a snarky person. But at that time, I thought, after all, she is married, and you usually have little contact, so you can endure it and pass. After that last time, I thought it was impossible for her to be cheeky enough to come to the door, but I didn't expect her skin to be thicker than the wall as Xiao Han said. Her daughter is like that, and she is still delusional about Han Gongzi, asking her son-in-law to be a matchmaker with her, I have never seen such a person, what a 'wonderful'! ”

"But this Han Gongzi, does he have any thoughts about Xiao Han?" Hu then asked cautiously.

"I can't say this either, and I can't ask about this kind of thing in person. However...... "Chen told him about the money shopkeeper he met on the way here."

Hu Shi is a person from the past, so he naturally heard the meaning: "From this point of view, this Han Gongzi is indeed interested in Xiao Han!" ”

Chen was afraid that her mother would be unhappy, but she knew her mother's thoughts, so she said carefully: "Whether it is intentional or not, I don't know." But I don't think Xiao Han seems to be thinking about this. He said what Xiao Han said about self-reliance and self-reliance.

When Hu Shi heard this, he was very shocked, he didn't expect that his granddaughter would have such extraordinary insight, and his love for her became stronger and stronger.

She thought for a while and said, "Xiao Han is my own granddaughter, and I love her too." Now that she is so capable and knowledgeable, you can rest assured that everything is in her choice. In the future, if she and Qingming look at each other, it will naturally be the best, but if not, I won't force her. ”

Chen Shi heard this, and quickly nodded and said yes.

"However, my mother also has to tell you and your son-in-law that the wives and aunts of rich families are not so easy to be. There are many rules in such a family, and there are many various selfish methods, you must keep your eyes open, don't be dazzled by wealth, but harm your own daughter. In my opinion, it is best to find the right person to live a down-to-earth life. Hu said solemnly.

Chen knew that his mother was for his own good, and his words were also sincere, so he agreed again and again.

In the end, Hu Yin Yin instructed her not to let her daughter be a concubine, just as Xiao Han said - I would rather be a poor wife than a rich concubine!

Chen resolutely agreed, saying that his family members have backbone and will never let his daughter be a concubine.

**********

In the kitchen, Xiaoxue was burning the fire, and Xiaohan was cooking the noodles, explaining to her the production process of the noodles and the method of snail noodles soup while cooking.

Her uncle's family is good to her, and she doesn't want to hide her secrets. However, she did not specify the specific ingredient ratio, only said that she would open a store in the town in a few months to do business, and they could eat it if they wanted to.

"Then if you open a shop to sell noodles, how much will you have to pay for a bowl?" Xiaoxue asked coquettishly.

"It's not clear yet, but if Xiaoxue goes to eat, it's free!" Xiao Han said with a smile.

Xiaoxue was not very happy when she heard that it was free, but raised her little face and said very seriously. "That's not good, my father and mother told me that I can't take other people's things for nothing, that will make me develop the bad habit of getting something for nothing."

Xiao Han was very surprised when she heard this, she was not greedy at all at a young age, she looked at her smiling uncle on the side and said: "Uncle, Xiaoxue is really a very well-bred and good child, even everyone may not be so good at teaching." ”

Zhao looked at his daughter, his eyes were full of pride, but he said modestly: "She is just good at talking, and she is not good at other aspects, she is not as good as you in cooking, she is not good at dealing with people, and her personality is too simple." I'm afraid she'll suffer if she gets married in the future. ”

Xiao Han thought it was funny: "My cousin is only eleven years old this year, and she is still early to get married." Just teach her slowly, and when she is older, tell her more things and teach her more. Just find her a good-tempered family with a more generous family. ”

Xiaoxue saw that her mother and sister were talking about her marriage, so she hurriedly interrupted them: "Mother, people are still young, why do you say these words to your cousin?" ”

Zhao was shocked to realize that he unconsciously regarded Xiao Han as an adult and talked to her about his heart. In fact, she is just a little girl, but she seems to be more mature than her peers.

Her face was embarrassed, and by this time the powder was ready. Xiao Han hurriedly diverted the topic and served the powder out. Zhao's meals are also ready, they are all prepared in the morning, and they are just hot in the pot.

In the hall, everyone sat around the dining table. Xiao Han served rice noodles and snail noodles for his grandmother's family, but the amount was smaller, because there were other dishes to eat.

Only when I arrived here in Qingming, it was empty.

Qingming saw that everyone in the family turned a blind eye and ate the noodles with relish. Especially Xiaoxue, while eating, her mouth deliberately vaguely praised the deliciousness.

Smelling the sour and spicy smell in the air, looking at the red, white and green rice noodles, Qingming swallowed saliva in his mouth, but he couldn't put it down and said that he wanted to eat it, and secretly began to regret it in his heart. What a little pepper, he grunted again.

Just when he was infinitely resentful, a bowl of snail noodles suddenly appeared in front of him.

He was overjoyed, and when he looked up, he saw that this powder was given to him by Xiao Han, and she still had a sincere smile on her face.

It's rare that she let him eat regardless of her previous suspicions, and Qingming thanked him in a curtling manner. I took the chopsticks and couldn't wait to eat. Unexpectedly, as soon as he took a bite, he felt a spicy taste rushing to his throat, and he couldn't help coughing, and his eyes were spicy with tears.

"It's spicy, it's spicy, it's so spicy!" He gasped for breath, his face was red, his eyes were hazy with tears, and he saw a glass of water handed in front of him. He took it and poured it down violently, the water was cold, and it ran down his throat, diluting the spicy taste and making him feel extremely comfortable.

He wiped his tears and hurriedly thanked him, but saw Xiao Han's warm smile.

"Brother, is it so spicy? I don't think so! Xiaoxue next to him asked strangely.

Qingming looked at everyone, although their faces and mouths were a little red, none of them were as embarrassed as him. couldn't help but feel suspicious in his heart, he reached over his chopsticks and put some powder into Xiaoxue's bowl, carefully put it in his mouth, and bit it gently. (To be continued.) )
