Chapter 13: Qiaoqiao

Xiuxiu nodded, went back to the house and cleaned up a little before going out to pick up the flower seedlings, everyone remembered to cook and deliver food at noon, but no one remembered which place it was sent to.

Watching Xiuxiu disappear from his sight, Yang Liu sighed, wondering if He would scold himself when he found out.

Yang Liu tidied up his house, and took a broom to sweep the yard, the yard of the Li family is a whole piece of dry mud, and occasionally one or two grasses emerge tenaciously in the small cracks, and the site is not very large, and Yang Liu did not spend much effort to sweep it all over. Yang Liu looked around, and put some things in order, and this home finally looked more comfortable.

After some tossing, Yang Liu also panted slightly. She wiped her sweat, and not long after the sun had just risen, Yang Liu turned to look at the wooden basin, thinking that it was still early to make lunch, and she and Li Cong didn't have a few clothes, so she still washed her clothes.

When the door was locked and the wooden basin was about to go out, Yang Liu stood in front of the wooden fence and was stunned, she didn't seem to know where there was a river, where to wash?

Coincidentally, someone was carrying a basket full of wild boar grass in this direction, and Yang Liu took a closer look, and it turned out that he had come back by coincidence. Qiaoqiao is only eight years old this year, her body is not open, the whole person is small, Yang Liu didn't pay much attention, occasionally looked over at the dinner table, and saw her on the top of her black head, bowing her head to eat, never picking vegetables, and never adding a second bowl. The pigweed on her back was so high that she almost buried her whole body, and she bit her lip with her head down, and she couldn't see the expression on her face. Yang Liu hurriedly put the wooden basin in his hand on the ground, opened the gate of the fence, trotted to the back of Qiaoqiao, and said with both hands holding the eaves of the back basket: "Qiaoqiao, put it down quickly, the fifth aunt back." ”

"No, Aunt Five, it's only a few steps away, so I'll come." Qiaoqiao looked back at Yang Liu and said with a smile. This smile revealed two shallow dimples, adding some vividness to Qiaoqiao's somewhat ordinary little face, but also allowing Yang Liu to see a few deep tooth marks on her lower lip.

It must be heavy! Yang Liu thought distressedly, insisted on letting Qiaoqiao put down and change his back, but Qiaoqiao just grabbed his back with both hands and didn't let go, so it was Qiaoqiao who was affected by such a delay, Yang Liu had to hold the bottom of her back basket with both hands and lift it up to help her reduce some weight. Qiaoqiao turned his head and smiled gratefully at Yang Liu, and Yang Liu also smiled back.

The two finally got the basket to the corridor (note), Qiaoqiao leaned on the ground and gasped, stretched out his hand to his shoulder and rubbed it, Yang Liu went into the stove room and poured the bowl warmly, sprinkled a few grains of salt in it, and handed the bowl to Qiaoqiao: "Drink some water." ”

Waiting for Qiaoqiao to take the bowl, Yang Liu freed his hand to empty the back basket of Qiaoqiao's back, this down, Yang Liu was startled, such a small back basket actually contained so much pigweed, and couldn't help but say to Qiaoqiao strictly: "Why do you pretend to be so much, what should I do if I am so young, and it is crushed?" If you can't carry two more trips, you're a girl, if your body is damaged, you'll suffer in the future. ”

"Fifth aunt, I know, my mother often tells me this." Qiaoqiao lowered her head slightly, and said with some embarrassment: "Look at this day, it will rain tomorrow, so I thought about putting more pigweed for storage, so that I don't need to go to the whole pigweed in the rain, and I didn't think about cutting so much." ”

"Then you don't have to carry it back once, isn't there a mountain if you can't carry it? What are you strong? Yang Liu looked at the sky, the sun was shining, but he really didn't see that God had signs of rain, it seemed that he didn't have the talent to see the clouds and know the weather, so he had to give up. Thinking back to Qiaoqiao's words, I feel angry and funny, whether people are important or pigs are important, and then I think about it, I feel that the two cannot be compared at all. I had to reluctantly take the empty bowl in her hand and sighed, "You"

Thinking that Qiaoqiao had eaten so much in the morning, and he must have been hungry after walking for so long with such a heavy thing on his back, Yang Liu turned around and walked towards the stove room, but as soon as his feet were about to step into the stove room, he remembered that the last bit of soup in the morning had been scraped by the dog's eggs, and he returned to his house here as soon as he turned around, lifted out the basket containing peanuts and lotus seeds, and pushed it in front of Qiaoqiao:

"I don't have any ready-made food at home, so you can eat some of these mats."

Qiaoqiao hurriedly stood up and waved his hand: "Fifth aunt, I'm not hungry." ”

"I ate that in the morning, saying that most of the porridge is actually water, even if you don't do things, you don't get hungry, and besides, you have done so many things, why aren't you hungry? The fifth aunt told you that everything else is empty, filling your stomach is the most real, let you eat it, you can take it, politely. ”

Yang Liu said so, Qiaoqiao could only thank him with a red face, took the basket into his arms but did not eat it, but looked at Yang Liu with a good eye and asked cautiously: "Fifth aunt, can I give these to my brother and brother to eat?" ”

The eight-year-old child already has his own judgment, and for this fifth aunt who has just entered the door for a few days, Qiaoqiao thinks she is very good, dressed cleanly, doesn't say much, but doesn't put on a shelf, and does what she has to do, but her mother always says that she pretends, and grandma doesn't seem to like her very much. Now that I look closely, I feel that the fifth aunt is so beautiful, she is a little embarrassed to pick off the weeds in her hair as far as her eyes can see, and her two feet rub against each other uneasily.

Qiaoqiao's shoes were already a little small, but they were still clean, and there was a hole in the shoe, revealing the big white toe inside, and it was moving a little uneasily at the moment. As the only granddaughter of the Li family now, Qiaoqiao didn't get much preferential treatment, and her cautious appearance saw Yang Liu's nose pantothenic, and nodded: "Auntie gives it to you, you can call the shots." ”
