Chapter 56: Questioning

Ling'er laughed dryly, feeling that this little girl felt sorry for herself as a bullied rabbit! She shook her head and said, "I don't remember, I just remember that my father and mother took me around to seek medical treatment and suffered a lot!" ”

The little girl tilted her head and thought, "Well, yes, your parents are very hard, they look older than my grandparents!" ”

Ling'er twitched the corners of her mouth, how did she feel that this girl's thinking was a little different? The two of them were gossiping while eating snacks, and suddenly, the little girl looked out alertly, leaned into Ling'er's ear and said mysteriously: "Hey, Ling'er, I heard that Peng'er and Yan'er of my fourth uncle's family were sent by my fourth aunt to study with my grandfather, is it true?" ”

Ling'er blinked at her, nodded slightly, the little girl pursed her lips, and muttered: "That's weird, the fourth aunt doesn't like Peng'er to study with her grandfather the most, her grandfather wanted to teach her before, but she had to send Peng'er to the city, why did she suddenly change her mind now?"

There are also second and third aunts who are also strange, when our family came to our family in the past, they all grinded and chirped when they invited them to dinner, and they didn't wait for the food to be served and didn't enter the door, but today they came earlier than us, and they brought gifts, saying that they were specially waiting for us to come......"

She tilted her head and thought for a while, then suddenly pulled Ling'er and said, "Ling'er, do you know why?" ”

If you want to say why, Ling'er really knows that although this little girl is good to herself, wouldn't it be bad to gossip about her uncle and aunt when they first met? When the time comes, when she goes out again, she will be in big trouble! So Ling'er shook her head and said, "I don't know, aren't they all your own aunts?" If you don't understand, just ask them, isn't it? ”

The little girl's mouth was raised high: "Ling'er, you are not interesting enough!" I gave you all the rabbit cakes that my eldest sister made for me, and you didn't even tell me if you knew, hmph, I ignored you! ”

Ling'er was a little embarrassed, she sat for a while, and saw that the little girl was still holding the back of her head to herself, so she stood up and said: "Thank you Sister Yue'er for the rabbit cake, if Sister Yue'er is not in a hurry to go home, Ling'er will go home, let the mother re-steam, and then return it to you!" Then she gave a hasty salute to the little girl and was about to go out.

The little girl hurriedly stood up and grabbed her: "Hey, Ling'er, Ling'er!" Don't go! I'm kidding you! ”

The little girl repeatedly apologized and kept Ling'er before she stopped to look at her, and said with a serious face: "Sister Yue'er, this joke is not funny at all!" ”

The little girl scratched her head and smiled, "Hehe! Ling'er, don't you talk like this, it looks worse than my mother, like... Yes... Just like my dad, you see, this and this ......."

The little girl deliberately squeezed out a few wrinkles on her face and elongated her face into a grimace, Ling'er shook her head funny, and the little girl was immediately happy: "Oh, I smiled, this is good-looking!" Ling'er, I think it's still more fun like you used to be! Or... You're going to go back to what you used to be, right? ”

Ling'er pulled down her face to leave, and the little girl hurriedly said: "Forget it, it's better than now, Ling'er, don't be angry!" ......" The two of them went out of the wing room one after the other, and Ling'er returned to the kitchen to continue to help, and by the way, she listened to the gossip of several women in the old village chief's family.

Looking at their lively chatter, laughing and laughing, if Ling'er hadn't stayed in the old village chief's house for a while, she would definitely think that this was an unusually harmonious, father-to-son family. But what the truth is, they themselves know best, forget it, they are just an outsider, as long as the old village chief is willing to teach them to read, it is better to take care of the rest.

Ling'er followed the village chief's family to eat a free and hearty lunch, and helped Grandma Gui collect the table and wash the dishes, and only left in the middle of the afternoon. Ling'er just got out of the yard, and Yue'er chased after her, jumping a few steps in front of Ling'er: "Ling'er, why don't you tell me when you leave?" Aren't we good sisters? ”

Ling'er sighed in her heart, "I'm sorry, Sister Yue'er, it's time for me to go home, I can't play with you!" ”

"Woo~~ It's still early, what are you going to do back? Or... I'll go home with you too! Shall I go to your house for the night? ”

Ling'er was a little embarrassed: "That... Sister Yue'er, I... Our family is very poor! ”

"yes, I know!"

Ling'er twitched the corner of her eyes: "So we don't have a bed at home, you must not be used to sleeping!" ”

"It's okay, I'll sleep wherever you sleep! Ling'er, you don't want to get rid of me and play with me, do you? ”

"No, no, the ......"

"Hehe, it's not good, let's go, I'll go back with you!" Yue'er took her arm and walked forward happily.

Today's weather is very good, the sun is shining warmly on the earth, the native dogs in the village are lying on the ground in front of the master's house to dry their bellies, the idle women are holding small dustpans in groups of three or five to talk and laugh together, their favorite places are different, and the old yellow trees in the middle of the village and the surrounding open space are often the favorite gathering places of men, women and children in the village.

When Ling'er and Yue'er passed by here, thirty or fifty people had gathered in the huge open space, everyone brought their own benches, and formed a team to form a circle by themselves, sometimes talking to each other, sometimes laughing, so lively!

The active Yue'er slowed down, staring at the middle of the field as she walked, as Ling'er expected, she didn't take a few steps, she pulled Ling'er and said: "Ling'er Ling'er, you see there are so many people here, let's go play for a while!" ”

Ling'er laughed dryly: "Sister Yue'er, I really want to go back, why don't you go to play, and go back to Grandma Gui's house when you have had enough?" ”

"How's that going to work! We said we wanted to be together, Ling'er, why are you willing to leave me alone? Yue'er pouted and hugged Ling'er's arm to be coquettish, Ling'er couldn't resist her sugar-coated cannonballs, and finally had to stop with her!

They walked around the venue slowly, trying to find a few acquaintances of the same age to talk to, and when they turned to a bunch of women, Yue'er suddenly stopped moving, Ling'er turned around, and heard a few women next to her talking about Grandma Gui's golden three things!

Yue'er let go of Ling'er, leaned up lightly, squatted among the women to listen to them, and sometimes spoke a few words. The women didn't think it was strange, they just looked at her, and there were really people who patiently answered her questions.

Ling'er shook her head amusedly, looked around, and found an empty place to sit under the yellow fruit tree, believing that the little girl in Yue'er would come back to find her soon.

Sure enough, in less than a quarter of an hour, the little girl rushed over angrily and said loudly: "Ling'er, they said that my aunts and uncles were greedy for money and wanted my grandmother's gold, so they deliberately ran to my grandparents to offer their courtesy!" ”

Her words immediately attracted the attention of the people around her, everyone stopped talking and looked here, Yue'er said angrily: "Ling'er, tell me, is this true?" ”

Ling'er was a little embarrassed, she looked around, and saw that the women around her had recognized herself, and they all pointed their ears and looked here, Ling'er pulled the little girl's sleeve and said, "Sister Yue'er, there are too many people here, let's talk in another place, okay?" ”

"No, it's right here! Auntie, they're just uneasy and kind, aren't they? I'll go back and tell my grandparents! Yue'er dropped the conversation and ran to the village chief's house.
