Chen Xuemiao has been reprimanded by Chen Xuejiao on the ground, and when she saw Xuejiao in the past two days, she dodged her eyes, and Chen Xuejiao ignored her.

In the past, as long as the Li family cooked, Chen Xuemiao always echoed Mrs. Chen at the dinner table and said that this dish was salty and that the dish was too oily, and when she saw Chen Xuejiao clipping her favorite dishes, she always blew her nose and glared. Now it's much more honest.

Chen Xuejiao was not worried at all that Chen Xuemiao complained to Mrs. Chen.

Mrs. Chen was single-mindedly anxious about Chen Zichang's affairs, and she couldn't care about anything else. Chen Xuemiao cried to Xue Yao and Zhao about the contradictions on the ground, and the angry Zhao gritted his teeth and scolded Zhang.

Xue Yao raised her eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter with Guan Dafang?" ”

Chen Xuemiao thought of Chen Xuejiao's powerful appearance, and vaguely said that it was the Li family's persuasion, and she didn't dare to mention Chen Xuejiao's reprimand.

Xue Yao has been immersed in Dingfu for a long time, and she understands when she thinks about it, so she told Xue Miao: "Xue Jiao, this girl is getting more and more arrogant, don't worry about her, if she uses reason to pressure you, you are your sister and only you have the reason to reprimand her, how can there be a reason for my sister to reprimand my sister." ”

Xue Miao nodded, and in a blink of an eye, she thought of Xue Jiao's eyes, and her heart trembled.

After Zhao scolded Zhang, he talked about Xue Jiao: "...... It may be that I was scared of my head last time when I changed relatives, so I acted a little crazy. He pulled Xue Yao and said: "In the past few days, you and your brother have gone back to Xuzhou Mansion, your brother has been reading books day and night to avoid me, and you tell him to let him prepare for next year's autumn, my expectations are on the two of you." This is not what happened, your four aunts have started to plague our family, how dare you fart in front of me before. ”

Xue Yao nodded and comforted: "I know, what you need to do is to take care of your body." You have to dare to stand on our head even the fourth aunt who can't get on the stage, so after I leave, you hurry to the milk to coax her, you just hate your father in your heart, and you have to pretend that it's okay. ”

Zhao nodded and sighed: "Your grandma will go back tomorrow, she has been talking to your grandmother for the past few days, helping your grandmother take care of your father, what's the picture, it's not good for me." He moistened his eyes as he spoke.

Chen Xuemiao was no longer willing to work in the field, so she said a few sweet words to Mrs. Chen and stayed at home, only saying that she would take care of her father.

These days, Cai's body is a little uncomfortable, Xuewa did not go down to the ground to take care of Cai's at home, and after Cai's health was fine, Xuewa held the basket and picked cotton with Xuejiao.

"Sister Xuejiao, you don't know, I've been taking care of my mother at home for the past two days. I saw the grandmother of the Zhao family cooking for the second aunt's family in the pot house, and the food was good, oil-baked white flour cakes, scrambled eggs, and stewed a chicken last time, all of which were used in the public. Xuewa whispered.

"Didn't the milk say anything?" Xue Jiao asked while picking cotton.

"The grandmother of the Zhao family is shrewd, she said that it is for the second uncle, how much can the second uncle eat? The rest is not for them to eat, and the grandmother of the Zhao family said that Brother Qi Lin needs to replenish his body when he reads, so he should eat more. Every time, they were made before the eldest aunt went home to cook, and brought it into the back room, so no one saw them. I once smelled the fragrance and saw it. Xuewa said indignantly, "As long as they eat well, we eat bad." ”

Because there was only one last piece of land left in the house, it was done in the morning. This time, instead of letting Li go home early to cook, everyone went home for lunch together.

Qi Ping picked the dog's tail grass in the ditch next to the cotton field, found that there were yellow watermelon seedlings in the dead grass, and found a watermelon along the seedlings.

Qi Ping shouted excitedly: "Watermelon, watermelon." ”

Although it is in the countryside, people in Maoshan Village rarely grow watermelons, and the land is used to grow food, so watermelons are a rarity for rural children.

Qi Ping's shouts surrounded the big eggs, the two eggs, and the three eggs.

Qi Ping picked the melon and carried it to the cotton field.

"Someone must have eaten the melon and on the side of the road and pulled out the melon seeds, so that this melon grows." Chen Zigui knocked on the melon and made a surging sound.

Chen Zigui's words made everyone frown.

"What." Zhang's speech has always been vulgar, "It must be who eats melons here and throws melon seeds here. Because the melons are not good in the summer, they are not planted this year. ”

A few children didn't care where the melon grown, and they shouted to cut and eat it, especially the second and third eggs were the loudest.

Old Man Chen stared at the melon, smoked the last pouch of cigarettes, and said slowly: "I think this melon is still taken back for the second child to eat, and the second child is injured." ”

As soon as Old Man Chen spoke, Qi Ping's face showed a disappointed look, and he looked at Chen Xuejiao uneasily, how could he give Chen Zichang a melon that he picked up.

The second and third eggs are anxious to take the melon. Chen Zigui and Zhang pouted.

"Dad, this melon was picked up by the child, and the second brother doesn't do any work at home, so his heart is too biased." Chen Zigui muttered.

Old Man Chen was silent, as if he had made a decision.

Chen Xuejiao also felt unfair in her heart, this was not a melon thing at all.

Qi Ping glanced at Chen Xuejiao timidly, and seeing his brother's innocent and disappointed eyes, Chen Xuejiao's heart tightened.

"Master," Chen Xuejiao spoke, "Qi Ping picked up a melon, which was used to be filial to you, seeing that you are working hard in the field, he specially brought the melon for you to eat." ”

Old Man Chen's eyebrows moved.

"My younger brothers are really filial, I found a melon in the ditch, and I was busy giving it to my lord, my lord, your blessing is really good." Chen Xuejiao not only praised Qi Ping, but even praised the sons of the fourth room, Chen Zigui and Zhang's faces were proud. Chen Xuejiao continued: "Some people's children are different, for a fruit to break the head and bleed, lest I can't eat it, my younger brothers are good, I picked up a melon and sent it to you." ”

It means that if they ate you directly just now, it would be okay, this melon can be filial to you, but not filial to Chen Zichang.

"Yes, Dad, the child is filial, you should be happy, if you don't eat this melon, the children should be sad." Li Shi added a sentence to Xue Jiao's words.

"That's it, that's it, Xue Jiao, don't look small, you can see it. It's not that I said, in our entire Maoshan Village, whose grandson can compare to your grandson. Zhang reflected it, and it was rare to say something that he heard once.

Old Man Chen pondered for a long time. In the past few days, he got up early every day to pick up dung, and how many people hid behind the door to look at him with their eyes on his jokes, or the crowd gathered together to whisper, and immediately dispersed when he left. The more Old Man Chen thought about it, the colder his heart became, this brute made his old face all lost.

Qi Ping, Erdan, and Sandan saw that Old Man Chen was silent, and they all shouted in unison: "Master." ”

Old Man Chen was excited, looking at the few grandsons in front of him, his expression was quite complicated. A few grandsons got a melon and sent it to themselves, and they were full of thoughts about the unfinished thing.

Chen Xuejiao knew that when Mrs. Chen was not in front of her, Old Man Chen was still not so difficult to speak.

Sure enough, Old Man Chen raised his cigarette pouch and said loudly: "You boys love your master, you know that you can eat this melon." ”

Several boys cheered.

Chen Zigui hugged the melon, smashed the melon two or three times with his big fist, and then opened it. The red flesh and black seeds are very attractive.

Each person was given a piece, and Chen Xuejiao gave the largest piece to Old Man Chen.

Someone from the neighboring area looked over here, and the old man Chen raised his face and told the neighbors: "A few grandsons picked up a melon in the ditch, and they have to give me this old man to eat." "A proud look. The second son is not successful, and his Chen family has a grandson.

Then the neighbor said, "That is a blessing for you." ”

Old Man Chen said with relief: "No, I just don't eat this melon, and my heart is sweet for their filial piety." As he spoke, he beckoned his neighbor to eat melons, and the man saw that there was only one melon, and there were so many children, so he waved his hand and left with a few compliments.

Chen Xuejiao looked at Qi Ping with a smile, and took a bite of the melon carefully, the melon in late autumn has been frosted, although it is not very sweet, but it is also cold.

Chen Xuejiao saw that Li ate very slowly, and only took a few bites, knowing that she wanted to wait for the children to finish eating and give the rest to the children.

"Mother, you can finish eating it yourself." Chen Xuejiao whispered to Li, "If you don't eat it, we won't feel at ease, it's just a piece of melon." ”

Li Shi smiled and said, "Leave some for Qi Ping." ”

Qi Ping had already finished eating the melon, wiped his mouth and said, "Mother, you eat, I'll eat it." His eyes were fixed on the melon in Li's hand.

Li Shi smiled, gently rubbed Qi Ping's head and handed him the melon and said, "My mother has eaten it too, you can eat the rest." ”

Qi Ping hesitated, he was still young, and he couldn't resist the ** of the melon, so he took three times and divided five by two.

Xue Jiao wanted to blame him, but when she thought about it, she was still a child, so she swallowed the words of reproach. She walked up to Li with a melon and asked her mother to take a bite, and Xue Rujing saw it and handed her melon to Li.

When Zhang saw it, he thought that his sister-in-law would be blamed, and if he didn't eat good melons, it was no wonder that he suffered losses at home every day.

The big egg sees it really, compared to his own family when there is something to eat, he prefers the eldest uncle's family.
