Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Hand Exposed

Xu Hui hid in Zhou Botao's room and listened to her grandmother's lesson to her second aunt, at first Zhou Botao was afraid that she would go to her heart, so she prepared a stomach of words to comfort her.

I saw that the little girl's eyes were burning and her ears were burning; Pasted on the wall, Zhou Botao gently knocked on her head with a book: "You are not a third aunt and six women, how can you still have the habit of listening to the corner of the wall!" ”

"I finally know who my mother looks like now, grandma is mighty!"

Hearing this, Zhou Botao couldn't help but roll his eyes: "According to common sense, you should be in self-blame now, delaying your little uncle Wen Shu, causing your grandmother to quarrel with your second aunt, and causing your little cousin to be scolded, aren't you guilty?" ”

"Why should I feel guilty? I've been practicing calligraphy obediently outside for the past three days, and I didn't make trouble for you! The second aunt is looking for me to be trained by herself, she is making a big fuss, and my cousin doesn't like to write, so do you blame me! Uncle, you're still unreasonable! Xu Hui heard that there was no sound outside, slipped out of the room, went into the kitchen and scooped half a scoop of water, and dripped in a drop of spring water and served it to her grandmother.

"Huihui, your second aunt can't speak, don't take it to heart what she said!" What a good child her granddaughter is, sensible and well-behaved, if it weren't for Chen Guihua's unreliable conduct, Zhou Tong's family really wanted to make her and her second grandson Xingyi a pair.

It is better to marry back to your grandmother's family than to marry into someone else's family, and she and the old man will protect your granddaughter and prevent her from being wronged.

Now it seems that this family business can't be done, and I can't look down on my daughter-in-law, how can my daughter agree!

Two days later, Zhou Botao gave Xu Hui a stack of paper and a pen, and began to teach her to memorize simple poems.

One of the uncles and nephews sat at the table and wrote carefully, one read silently, sometimes Zhou Botao would put down the book to write, Xu Hui stretched her head and saw the little uncle's pen walking like a dragon and snake-like font with envy, writing calligraphy is her weakness, without three years and five years of hard work, don't want to practice a good handwriting.

"Practice your words well!" Zhou Botao became more and more strict with his niece, and finally found a good seedling that must be strictly guarded.

In Zhou Botao's eyes, there is no distinction between male and female students, only to see if they have talent, which is also the reason why he is reluctant to tutor a few nephews, as soon as he looks at their grades and the usual completion of schoolwork, he knows that several people are mediocre people, no matter how much guidance is in vain, don't waste your time studying books.

"Uncle Xiao, we've been holding back at home for a few days, let's go out for a walk!" Xu Hui heard that tomorrow was the market, and wanted her uncle to take her out for a walk.

"Do you still go to the river? I'm going to bring a few barrels this time! "I was scared by her last time, and Zhou Botao didn't want to go.

"I want to go to the market!"

"Stop, Huihui, if we go out together, especially in a place like the market, it will easily cause congestion!" Zhou Botao was deeply touched by this.

"Why?" He is a little kid, what kind of congestion can be caused, Xu Hui doesn't believe it.

Zhou Botao asked Xu Hui to ask her grandmother to go, and if the old lady agreed, the two of them could go to the market.

Xu Huizhen went to ask, and Zhou Tong's reaction was much stronger than that of his son: "That's not good, grandma is afraid that the bad guys will snatch you away, I finally have a talented son, such a rare granddaughter, what if someone else is worried about it, if you two are bored, you can go around the village, and you can't go to the market!" ”

Zhou Botao chose to take Xu Hui around outside when everyone in the village was busy sowing seeds in the field.

"Let's go up to the mountains and pick some wild vegetables!" You can eat wild vegetable stuffed dumplings at noon, Xu Hui hasn't cooked for a few days, and she can't go into the space to cook, itchy!

"That...... You won't bring a tiger to your uncle! I don't know martial arts! "Zhou Botao was really a little scared.

When she's an animal trainer! also attracted tigers, just want to eat a meal of wild vegetable stuffed dumplings, why is it so difficult!

The brown hibiscus in the space laughed while listening to the conversation between the two, if Xu Hui wanted to, it could really attract tigers, it was a wood attribute elf, and it could also sense treasures such as ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, as long as there were heavenly treasures and mineral treasures on the mountain, it could find them.

Seeing Xu Hui's big eyes showing a look of disappointment, Zhou Botao promised her to go around the mountainside, what if she was lucky enough to pick up a rabbit or something?

"And the vixen and the beautiful snake, do you want it!" Xu Hui picked up a broken bamboo basket under the root of the mountain, and instructed her uncle to carry it, and she bent down to look for wild vegetables.

"I'm so handsome and dashing, you made me carry a broken basket...... Huihui, what do you think! "Damaging his image, Zhou Botao really wants to throw away the broken basket.

"If you lose the basket, you'll have to take off your clothes and wrap wild vegetables!" Xu Hui didn't look back to pick wild vegetables, and now every household is busy farming, no one goes up the mountain, and wild vegetables are everywhere.

"Why didn't you take off your clothes!"

"I'm a girl!"

Zhou Botao was choked by his niece, so he had to resign himself to follow her with a broken basket, seeing that the basket was full, Zhou Botao ignored Xu Hui's objections, picked her up and walked to the village.

At Xu Hui's strong request, Zhou Tong agreed to make dumplings at noon, she went to the oil jar to scoop up a spoonful of oil residue, and Zhou Dongshu kneaded the dough.

Xu Hui wanted to help adjust the filling, but Zhou Tong really couldn't believe her, mixed the wild vegetables and chopped oil residue well, sprinkled a little salt and soy sauce, and handed the basin to her granddaughter and asked her to stir slowly.

While the two people next to her were not paying attention, Xu Hui added some seasonings to the dumpling filling, added a drop of soup spring water, and a little sesame oil.

When making dumplings, Zhou Tong and Zhou Dongshu were surprised when they saw Xu Hui's skillful techniques and speed faster than them.

"Milk, I think today's dumpling filling is extraordinarily fragrant! I don't believe you! I remembered that the last time I went to Huihui's house, she and Grandma Xu were making dumplings, and this is the taste now! Zhou Dongshu moved and stood next to the filling.

Zhou Tong knew in his heart that he put some salt and soy sauce in the dumpling filling, which should not be so fragrant, and his granddaughter said that the dumplings she ate at Xu's house last time were like this, is it ...... Did my granddaughter get it?

After finding a gap in Zhou Dongshu's absence, Xu Hui stuffed a bamboo tube into Zhou Tong's hand: "Grandma, if you want to wrap dumplings and make dishes delicious, you have to put this seasoning in it, you can rest assured that this seasoning has been eaten by our family for some days, and there is no reaction." "A bamboo tube of seasoning is enough for two months, and when everyone accepts this seasoning, they can send some by themselves.

Zhou Tong didn't ask his granddaughter where the seasoning came from, put the bamboo tube in the innermost part of the bowl rack, Xu Hui showed her hand again when making dumplings, her little hand kneaded a few times A variety of flowers and animal-shaped dumplings appeared on the curtain, Zhou Dongshu also wanted to learn Xu Hui's pattern, and the shape that came out was nondescript, she said that if someone could guess what she was pinching, she would be rewarded with two copper plates.
