When the second baby mother heard that her son had seen the injured girl, she was also curious, "Didn't you say that the child was abducted from Shudi, Shudi is the place of the Southern Barbarian, how beautiful the Southern Barbarian's baby can be." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Liu Erwa saw that her mother didn't believe herself, and she was also anxious, "What a southern barbarian, the little girl is so smart, and she looks good when she laughs, I have never seen such a good-looking girl."
Liu Erwa's grandmother listened to the music on the side, "You little cub, how many girls have you seen?" I've never seen such a good-looking girl, how old is that girl? I heard that six or seven years old? It's still a kid."
"If you don't believe it, go ask Tiedan, Zhu Gen'er, Hanzi, they all went today, ask if I lied?"
Liu Erwa's grandfather, seeing that his grandson was anxious, his little face turned red, and he also said, "Okay, if you say it's good-looking, it's good-looking, what's there to ask?" Doesn't look good to be caught by a kidnapper? ”
"Isn't it, Grandpa? It must be so, when you see Yujiao in the future, you will know that I am not lying."
The dispute between the Liu family about Xie Yujiao also subsided.
At the same time, other families are talking about it.
It is said that the old man looks very scary, but he didn't expect it to be quite kind.
It is also said that he not only saved people, but also paid for the little girl to lie down at home for a month to nurse her injuries, I don't know if she was stupid or had too much money to spend.
Some people also said that Xie Yujiao, the little girl, was fine if she fell from the old high mountain, and it was also a big fate, maybe there would be a blessing if she didn't die.
************
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, the adults are busy preparing for the New Year, and the children are happily looking forward to the early arrival of the New Year, because they can eat meat, new clothes to wear, and sugar to eat.
Old man Qu has been alone for decades, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't spend the New Year, anyway, he eats enough for the whole family and doesn't go hungry.
There is one more Xie Yujiao this year, and the old man also plans to have a lively New Year, so he also has firecrackers, blessing characters, couplets, and other lively things. He thought that this year, there would be a few girls in the village who would play with Yujiao, so he went to the town again on the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month and bought more peanuts and melon seeds and other sweets.
On the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve, the old man really managed it well. Let Xie Yujiao, who is usually accustomed to eating simple and fast home-cooked foods such as vegetable porridge, vegetable and meat gnocchi, stir-fried cabbage, stewed meat, and braised noodles, look forward to the arrival of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
When Xie Yujiao looked at the large table of dishes in front of her, there were braised carp, large plates of chicken, fried rice cakes, sauce elbows, pork rib soup, and staple dumplings.
She pointed to herself and pointed at her grandfather, "Grandpa, let's just two of us, why did you eat so much?" ”
Old man Qu was light and light, opened the wine jar, poured himself a full bowl, and took a sip before saying, "These are only a few dishes, and you haven't seen dozens of dishes on a table for Chinese New Year's Eve." The Chinese New Year's Eve meal is about eating as long as possible, and it is best to eat overnight and a half. We don't have to eat for so long, just eat slowly until we are full. If you don't finish the leftovers, it means that there is more than enough every year, and when the time comes, the end will be frozen outside, and it won't be bad for two days. ”
Xie Yujiao affirmed that Grandpa Qu was not an ordinary person when he was young, otherwise who could eat dozens of dishes and a table of Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in ordinary people's families.
Listening to his grandfather's tone before, he didn't pay attention to his twenty taels of silver, so grandpa must have seen a lot of money before.
But so what? Anyway, she just knows how good her grandfather is to her.
Xie Yujiao happily finished the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, helped her grandfather clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and when she heard that there was already a sound of firecrackers in the village, she also quickly took out the firecrackers and wanted her grandfather to put them.
In fact, she wanted to put it herself, but her legs and feet were not good, and she couldn't run fast when she lit the fuse, and it would be miserable if she accidentally blew herself up.
"Put on the fur, open the door, you just sit in the house and watch, it's very cold outside" The old man wrapped in cotton clothes, took a few firecrackers and opened the door, and did not forget to tell Xie Yujiao before going out.
"Got it, grandpa! I'll just sit in the house and watch you put it, and I promise not to go out and get cold" Xie Yujiao sat obediently at the door of the hall, watching her grandfather play with firecrackers.
The old man was also on a whim, and a few smiles finally appeared on his usually cold face.
With the sound of firecrackers, this old house that had been silent for decades finally became lively again.
Xie Yujiao looked at her grandfather's increasingly soft face, and she was very happy for him. She was actually thinking, "Actually, grandpa is also very playful, but over the years, he has become one with loneliness, because he has no chance to play happily." ”
Although it is the most homesick time for reunion, Xie Yujiao at this time is really not homesick, because she knows that because of her arrival at this time, her grandfather can spend this year so happily, and she feels for the first time that it is worth it for her to come.
The sound of artillery around slowly stopped, and people who did not pay attention to the New Year gradually got into the bed, ushering in the new year in their sleep.
The six years of Xiande have passed so lively, and everyone ushered in a new seven years of Xiande in their sleep.
Because both grandparents and grandchildren slept late last night, and the link of greeting each other on the first day of the new year is not about the grandparents and grandchildren, so both grandparents and grandchildren got up as usual, neither early nor late.
In the new year, Xie Yujiao deliberately changed into a new red cotton jacket bought by her grandfather, and put a bun bun on the left and right sides of her head, tied it firmly with a red rope, and then put on silk flowers.
She looked into the basin and could vaguely see the appearance of a delicate little girl, she looked at the crutches under her armpits, and thought to herself, it would be better if she didn't have them.
Xie Yujiao neatly cleaned up the house, set the table, and waited for her grandfather to bring breakfast.
Old Man Qu was holding two bowls of dumplings, and when he entered the house, he saw Xie Yujiao, who had changed into new clothes, sitting there, like a fairychild, thinking that it would be more like a mole on her eyebrows.
Xie Yujiao paused obviously when she saw her grandfather come in, and stood up happily to show off her new clothes.
"How? Grandpa, pretty, I look good in this dress, right? ”
The old man put the two bowls of dumplings in his hand on the table, and then replied, "It's not bad, it's quite festive."
"That's it! How cute I Xie Yujiao is, long and festive, of course I look good in anything, hehe, isn't it grandpa? ”
Xie Yujiao pulled Old Man Qu over, "Grandpa, sit down, Yujiao wants to give you a New Year's greeting!" ”
After speaking, he put his cane aside, knelt in front of Old Man Qu in a proper manner, touched the ground with his forehead, and kowtowed.
"Yujiao gives her grandfather a New Year's greeting! I wish Grandpa good health, peace and joy in the new year! Xie Yujiao knelt in front of Old Man Qu and kowtowed.
"Good, good, good, get up, get up, it's cool on the ground"
The old man was very excited, for many years, he had been living alone, and it didn't mean anything to him for the New Year.
Today finally has the opportunity for the junior to kowtow to him for the New Year, so that he has the opportunity to send the New Year's money, and experience a grandfather and grandson, he is very content, very happy, although this granddaughter will leave in a few days, but he is also very content.
