Chapter 110: A Pleasant Day
Then the group said goodbye and left, but when they left, Mother He was a little late, Zhu Ziyu saw clearly, under You Xiaoya's signal, Mother He stuffed a piece of silver into the old man's hand, but a few children didn't know it.
After all, this box of potatoes is not very important to You Xiaoya, but for the people who have worked between the farmlands for half a year, this may be their ration for half a month.
Far away on the way back to Zhang's small courtyard, Zhu Ziyu led the group forward with half a basket of potatoes, a few water bags, a straw mat and a navigator, surrounded by two little guys with crisp laughter, their eyes were bright and full of hope.
When I returned to the small courtyard, I saw Zhang Ah Gong walking towards the hall with a bowl of shiny old bacon.
"Grandpa, grandpa, we're back!" Jin Yuanyuan saw that Zhang Ah Gong was holding food in his hand, and her eyes suddenly lit up, and her voice was crisp and she shouted.
"Miss, Miss, Madame, you are back! Hurry up, there are two more dishes to eat! ”
Zhang Ah Gong was also full of joy when he saw You Xiaoya and them coming back, and hurriedly greeted them and asked them to come into the house quickly, while he hurriedly put the bacon in his hand on the table, and quickly ran to the kitchen to tell everyone that You Xiaoya and the others were back.
After a while, Xiao Cui'er, Xue'er, Zhou's mother and Zhang's aunt all ran out, and the whole courtyard became more lively.
For lunch, they are all home-cooked dishes, beans, eggplants, peppers, winter melons, pumpkins, bitter gourds, loofahs, and cucumbers are all freshly picked from the ground and put into the stove, and the chickens are raised in their own yards. The fish are freshly caught in the pond at the entrance, and everything is natural.
Originally, the Zhang family and Zhou's mother and her party were different, You Xiaoya and they came to eat at the same table, after all, in ancient times. The concept of hierarchy of master and servant is very strong, so they didn't think about it, let alone have any extravagant hopes, but You Xiaoya made a room of people sit at the same table with one sentence, she said:
"You look at me like this, I can't eat, let's all sit down together."
Of course when she said that. didn't mean to move the chopsticks at all, Zhou's mother saw it and knew that if they were still standing like this now. This lady, she was afraid that she would not be able to move the chopsticks, so after a pause, she beckoned everyone to sit down together.
Originally, the old couple of the Zhang family still thought about You Xiaoya, they were afraid that they would not be used to eating this coarse tea and light rice, but they didn't want You Xiaoya to be a picky eater in the first place. And the brothers and sisters of the Jin family just played crazy for a while. So after serving, everyone ate fragrantly, and it was very cheerful.
Jin Yuanyuan is an extremely lively little guy, she likes to eat very much, and she also likes to share delicious things with others, so she saw that Grandma Zhang who was sitting next to her was restrained and didn't pick up vegetables, she was smiling with sweet dimples, and kept picking vegetables for Grandma Zhang. I kept exclaiming, 'It's delicious'.
Seeing this, the atmosphere of the whole table slowly relaxed, and the meal was quite happy. After the meal, because of the sun, the heat outside was extremely heavy, and the three brothers and sisters of Jin Yuanjiang were also children's families, and they were already a little tired after playing all morning, and they were naturally a little sleepy because they were full of wine and food.
At this time, Grandma Zhang proposed to let a few children go to the house to sleep together, You Xiaoya looked at Jin Yuanyuan and Jin Yuandong, who were wilting, and bowed their heads, and then Grandma Zhang happily took her to the room on the right hand side of the hall.
This room is not large, and there is a large flower bed carved with some simple colors, and the mosquito net on the bed can be seen to have been washed many times, and the quilt is a large cotton quilt, which can be seen to be just installed.
"Madame, don't worry, the mat and quilt have just been changed, and the mosquito net has also just been installed......" Seeing You Xiaoya looking at the room, Grandma Zhang next to her hurriedly explained.
"There's Grandma Lao Zhang, I smell it, the quilt is still sunburned, right?" You Xiaoya smiled slightly and looked at Grandma Zhang, this smell always reminded her of her grandmother.
"Yes, yes, ma'am." Seeing You Xiaoya so kind, Grandma Zhang also smiled and replied.
"Thank you" You Xiaoya is sincerely thanking her.
"Don't deserve, don't deserve, these are what old slaves should do!" Hearing You Xiaoya thank herself, Grandma Zhang was immediately flattered and hurriedly waved her hand.
Seeing this, You Xiaoya didn't say anything more, and beckoned the Jin family brothers and sisters into the house, but at this time, Jin Yuanjiang was not included here.
After that, Zhou's mother and You Xiaoya waited for Jin Yuanyuan and Jin Yuandong's brother and sister to lie down, Jin Yuanyuan came to the spirit again this time, and asked You Xiaoya to tell her a story to listen to, Jin Yuandong suddenly came to the spirit when he heard it, and blinked his eyes full of anticipation.
couldn't resist the thick expectation of the two pairs of eyes, You Xiaoya leaned on the side of the bed and fanned the two little guys, and started to talk at the same time, this time she was telling the story of Cinderella, no way, who let her read this in the first storybook in her life.
This story, in You Xiaoya's opinion, what she wants to convey to Jin Yuanyuan and them is only two points, the first is that no matter what situation they are in, people will lose hope in their hearts. Second, no matter what the external situation is, we must also stick to our own heart and live.
"But mother, what is the 'original heart'?" Jin Yuandong asked suspiciously.
"If you say this, life will slowly teach Yuandong, and Yuandong only needs to experience it with your heart." This is too profound, You Xiaoya said that she doesn't want to discuss it with a five-year-old child.
"Mother, after Cinderella marries the prince, will she be able to eat a lot of delicious things?" Jin Yuanyuan's two eyes were full of self-evident shining lights.
"I guess so." You Xiaoya didn't expect that Jin Yuanyuan could even think of eating when she listened to the story, and she really admired her.
"Is it okay for Yuanyuan to marry the prince in the future?" Jin Yuanyuan seemed to have found a target, and her eyes lit up.
"Then Yuanyuan has to find one, only love Yuanyuan alone for the rest of her life, and only marry Yuanyuan as a queen's prince!" You Xiaoya scratched Jin Yuanyuan's nose.
"Huh? Why? Jin Yuanyuan was puzzled, and Jin Yuandong on the side was also puzzled.
"Because if your prince marries someone else, then someone else will come to steal your food, what if Yuanyuan can't eat enough at that time?" You Xiaoya explained lightly.
"Why are they stealing my food?" Jin Yuanyuan frowned slightly, she likes to share things with others, but she doesn't like others to rob her of things.
"If you say this, when Yuanyuan grows up, you will naturally know, you are still too young, and there are many things that you still can't understand, and your mother has said too much, but it has added a burden to you." On this issue, You Xiaoya said how she was going to tell a two-year-old doll? (To be continued......)
