Deng Chang's family, the family has eaten.

Zhang Chengde and his wife, holding their children, said goodbye to Deng Chang and his wife's family.

Zhang Chengde picked up the child, "Son, let's go, go home." ”

Zhang Chengde and his wife Wang went out of Deng Chang's house.

Someone in the village greeted Zhang Chengde, and Zhang Chengde nodded to them.

The couple walked home.

On the road, Zhang Chengde's wife was sharp-eyed, walking beside her, and saw the child with mud on his body, "Our son, there is mud on his body." ”

Zhang Chengde looked at the child, "He plays with the children, the child, there is a little mud on his body, he is not afraid." ”

I drank too much, and people swayed, he said with a smile.

He is so-so, there are many affairs in the village on weekdays, since the soldiers came back the year before last, his father Zhang Gong gave him the work in the village and Lizheng.

Zhang Chengde has many relatives and friends, and many people in the village are convinced.

Wang frowned, and since then the child has gone out of the house and played with the children in the village, and some people have said strange things, and she has heard them.

"Just be sloppy, give me the child." She went to ask for it.

Looking closely at the child's cheeks, his eyes blinked wide, and his face seemed to have been brushed.

Zhang Chengde gave the child to Wang.

The family returned home.

There are children clapping their hands at the gate of the courtyard, and they are playing hopscotch.

Zhang Gong sat in front of his house weaving a bamboo basket.

Fence courtyard, three large tiled houses.

Seeing Zhang Chengde and Wang, "I'm back." ”

"I'm back." Zhang Chengde replied.

Enter the house.

Zhang Cai drank too much wine, went into the house and lay down on the bed, and fell asleep.

In the courtyard, the daughter-in-law Wang put Zhang Hatshui on the ground.

She was tired.

Zhang Gong saw the grub cage in Zhang Hate's sailor, "Where did our grandson get the gnather cage?" ”

Wang, "The younger brother of the Deng family gave it." ”

Zhang Gong put down the bamboo basket and went to tease his grandson, "Grandson, who gave you your gnather cage?" ”

Zhang Hatshui didn't speak.

Zhang Gong, "Is it okay for me to give me the gnatwood cage in your hand?" ”

Zhang Hatshui didn't speak.

Zhang Gong took the gnather cage from Zhang Hatshui's hand, and his face was full of smiles, "Our grandson is good, he will give him whatever he wants." ”

Zhang Gong took the gnather cage in his hand and looked at it carefully, "Don't say it, Deng Chang's hands are so skillful, and this cage is so exquisite." ”，

In the yard, Zhang Gong put down the cicada cage and picked up the bamboo basket again.

Wang took a stool and sat down next to Zhang Gong.

I want to help him comb the bamboo.

Zhang Gong stood up and put the bamboo basket in the corner of the wall, which was not finished and had not been sealed.

There was still bamboo in the corner, he took it, and he didn't go back to Zhang Cai's stool to sit on.

He sat down on the ground and continued to weave his basket.

Wang looked at it resentfully, a little daughter-in-law in her twenties.

In the blink of an eye, she smiled again and took a plate of fruit from the house.

The fruit is a plate of grapes.

"Dad, this is what my daughter-in-law and I bought in the city yesterday."

Zhang Gong picked up a grape and stuffed it into Zhang Hatshui's mouth.

Zhang hated water to eat, he knew how to chew.

Zhang Gong took a grape and put it in his mouth.

Zhang Gong, "You went to the city yesterday?" ”

Wang, "Yes, Dad. ”

Zhang Gong, "What are you doing in the city?" ”

Wang, "The Zhang family went to buy salty salt, the Liu family went to weigh the noodles, and the sister-in-law wanted to buy cotton." ”

Zhang Gong, "Didn't you buy it?" ”

Wang, "I dismantled Zhang Hatshui's cotton pants last year, and the cloth at home was still enough, and I saw that there were grapes sold in the capital, so I bought catties for my father." ”

Zhang Gong, "Our grandson just doesn't like to talk, and now he doesn't remember, don't listen to the nonsense of the people in the village." ”

Wang, "I'm afraid that Zhang Chengde will know." ”

Zhang Gong, "You don't know when he doesn't?" He told me this, and I told him that our children just don't remember. Then he drank half a pound of wine, and he was pretending to be stupid these days. ”

Wang, "Can't we do anything?" ”

Zhang Gong, "There are so many people in the village, so many mouths, how do you let him take care of it?" ”

Wang, "He is the leader of the village, and many people in the village were afraid of him back then. ”

Zhang Gong, "There is no way, those who are jealous of him dare not say it to his face, they let the children speak, what do you let him do?" Those who are jealous of our family dare not speak in the open, nor do they dare to speak in front of Chengde. You know his temper. As long as no one talks about it in the open, let's treat it as if nothing happened, and none of us should take it to heart. If you can't, you have another one. I said that Zhang Hatshui just didn't remember, he really believed me. Yesterday, you went to the capital, didn't you go to the Taoist temple? ”

Wang, "I didn't go." ”

Zhang Gong, "Why didn't you go?" ”

Wang," Zhang Chengsi said, "It's not the day of the Festival. ”

Zhang Gong, "Next time you want to go to the capital, I will go with you and bring our family's hated water." I want Lao Dao to take a good look at our family. I think it may be that our child is fighting back against something, or maybe you didn't pay attention to this child when he was young, and he was frightened by something. ”

Wang, "Dad, will the child not speak when he is frightened?" ”

Zhang Gong, "When your eldest brother Chengen was three years old, there was turmoil in the capital, and someone set off a cannon at our house, your eldest brother was frightened, and he didn't sleep for two days and two nights. ”

Wang, "Children don't speak when they are frightened?" How do you resolve that? ”

Zhang Gong, "I didn't understand at the time, I was too young, but in fact, it was good to coax at that time." Bring me that stool, and it's cold on the ground. ”

Wang reached out to fetch the stool on which Zhang Cai and Zhang Gong had sit.

Six-year-old Zhang Hatshui was playing on the side, and when he saw Wang's reach for the stool, he picked up the stool, walked straight to Zhang Gong, and stuffed it directly under Zhang Gong's buttocks.

Zhang Gong was stunned for a moment and went to see Wang.

In the eyes of the two of them at that moment, they didn't know whether they were surprised or happy.

A six-year-old child can't speak, and it's impossible for the family not to be anxious.

Zhang Gong asked Zhang Hatshui, "Why did you give me a stool?" Who am I to you? ”

Zhang Hatshui didn't speak, just stuffed the stool under Zhang Gong's buttocks.

Zhang Gong sat up from the ground, he sat on the stool, and looked at Zhang Hatshui carefully, "Who am I yours?" Did You Know? ”

Zhang Hatshui didn't speak.

Zhang Gong took a grape from the plate and stuffed it into Zhang Hatshui's mouth.

"I'm your grandfather, you're my grandson."

There are children outside the courtyard gate, and the noise is very lively.

Wang went to catch up, "You guys go up and play." ”

The children didn't leave, and some people clapped their hands, "The east of the village, the west of the village, grandma scolded, daddy bear, there is a little fool at home." ”

Zhang Gong put the bamboo basket on the ground, pointed to another stool on the ground, and said to Zhang Hatshui, "Go, get a stool for your mother too." ”

The child got up from his grandfather's arms, said obediently, crookedly went to get the stool, picked it up, walked towards Wang, and then stuffed it under Wang's buttocks.

Wang looked at Zhang Gong.

"If a child can understand words, it means that the child is not stupid, maybe he is just a dumb person." Zhang Gong said.

There were clouds floating in the sky, and it looked like cotton flowers.
