Dong Xiucai in the study also drank a cup of tea, and he also wanted to see if his granddaughter was as capable as she said, so he walked out of the hall.

Standing under the eaves of the porch, I saw that small figure, struggling to shake the wheel, because of the lack of strength, it seemed very difficult.

He was afraid that if he was not careful, he would be able to take the boy to the well.

He walked briskly to the well, not daring to make a sound, for fear of frightening his granddaughter.

Xue'er had already shaken up the small half bucket of water, and with great difficulty put the wooden bucket on the well platform, she couldn't lift it, so she poured the wooden bucket into the bucket she carried.

It was only at this time that Dong Xiu said loudly: "Come, let grandfather help you." ”

Xue'er smiled, showing a cute expression and said, "Thank you, grandpa." ”

Dong Xiucai had mixed feelings in his heart, nodded and didn't say anything, carried the water back to the kitchen, poured the water into the vat, and carried the bucket to the well to fetch water.

With Dong Xiucai's help, Xue'er was a lot more relaxed, and she lifted the mixed pig food to the backyard to serve the two piglets.

It is difficult for Dong Xiucai to imagine how many housework a child who is just six years old has to do at home in a day, and sees that everything inside and outside the house is clean and organized.

Seeing how skilled she is, you know that this kid is used to doing this.

He has three daughters, and although he is also patriarchal, he believes that his wife has never let such a young child take on so many household chores.

Not to mention the most favored youngest daughter, let's just say that the two daughters who have been married, they are also happy at home. I can do housework, but that's after the age of eight. Before the age of eight, I learned some writing at home, female red, abacus, housekeeper or something.

Even if it is a few sons, their task when they are young is mainly to study, and the housework is to do as much as they can.

His heart tingled a little at this moment, and then looked at his granddaughter's skinny little appearance, he really couldn't see it.

Their Dong family did not let the child lose weight to this extent at the most difficult time.

People are like that, you can't imagine it when you don't see it with your own eyes, and when you see it with your own eyes, you can't really turn a blind eye.

At this moment, Dong Xiucai made a decision in his heart, of course, Xue'er didn't know at this moment.

She had already returned to the kitchen with the pig food bucket, and just as Dong Xiucai came back with water, she looked up and asked with a smile: "Grandpa, the meal has been prepared, do you use it in the kitchen or in the main house?" ”

"It's in the kitchen!" Dong Xiucai was stunned for a moment before answering.

Xue'er said crisply: "Okay." ”

He turned his head and opened the lid of the pot to serve rice.

The vats are a bit large and can hold more than a dozen buckets of water. Xue'er is small, and she can't reach half of the water, so she has to fetch water first.

So in fact, there was still some water in the tank, and Dong Xiucai only mentioned a few times to fill the water tank.

By the time he was done, Cher had already laid out the meal.

Dong Xiucai Shi Shiran took a seat, but found that only a bowl of rice was placed in front of him and four dishes were placed.

He asked suspiciously, "Isn't Cher needed?" ”

Xue'er was about to leave, but she didn't expect Dong Xiu to notice this.

I have the impression that in the Dong family, men and women eat at separate tables, and the juniors who had the right to sit next to Dong Xiucai to eat, except for his grandson, are cousin Dong Yun'er, and she has no right to eat at the same table with Dong Xiucai.

As if he knew what Dong Xue'er was afraid of, he sneered: "Just you and my ancestors and grandchildren, let's use them together." ”

"However, my mother said that she could only eat when the guests ran out, and she couldn't eat at the same table with the guests, which was the rule." Cher pretended to be sensible.

The innocent big eyes looked at him without blinking, and the glutinous voice said the rules, which made Dong Xiucai dumb for a while.

However, he quickly reacted, and said with an expression that he thought was very loving: "Grandpa is an elder, your grandfather, not a guest.

Today you are with your grandfather, even if your mother knows, it is your grandfather's permission, and she will not say anything about you. ”

Xue'er slandered in her heart, if the Yun family really knew that she would only be happy, she would think that her family's broom star was in the eyes of her father-in-law this time.

Yun scolded her more than once in front of the original owner, saying that Dong Yun'er was also a girl, and Dong Yun'er would please her grandfather, saying that Dong Xue'er was a wood, and even her grandmother didn't like it.

Xue'er didn't want to eat cold meals after all, so she pretended to be happy and grateful, and said, "Thank you, grandpa." ”

also served himself a small bowl of rice, and sat down obediently under Dong Xiucai.

waited for Dong Xiucai to move the chopsticks, and she followed the chopsticks.

Xue'er's table manners when eating show her usual cultivation, she only clips the dishes on her own side, there is no collision sound between chopsticks and dishes, and she takes small bites when she eats, and she will not gobble up like ordinary peasant children.

When eating, you purse your mouth and don't make a smack-pouting sound.

Dong Xiucai secretly observed, and praised in his heart, the heart Dao Yun clan is indeed from a scholarly family, and it is indeed much better than the Cai clan in teaching children.

In fact, the reason why Xue'er has a standard table etiquette is due to her grandmother in her previous life. In addition, the original owner's Niang Yun clan is indeed a rule-heavy one, so even Dong Xue'er's original owner's etiquette is excellent.

However, Dong Xiucai soon found the problem again, and he didn't care about the rule of not saying anything, so he put down his chopsticks and asked suspiciously: "Snow girl, why don't you eat egg custard or toon scrambled eggs, why do you only eat mixed vegetables and cabbage?" ”

Xue'er did it on purpose, because she couldn't usually eat these Dong Xue'er, she just wanted this cheap grandfather to know how his son usually ate alone.

Of course, she didn't mean anything else, she just wanted to find a way to improve her status in this family in the future.

She put down her chopsticks with a smile and replied with a natural look: "At home, precious things like eggs and meat are reserved for my father and guests to eat, and those that can't be eaten will be used to give away or sell silver."

Xue'er and her mother have no right to eat. ”

Dong Xiucai was shocked, he knew that ordinary peasant families were like this, and the precious things would be left to the elders and children, and he knew that the Yun family was patriarchal, but the second son's family was not so poor that they detained children to such an extent!

It seems that my son's family has a lot of chickens and ducks!

He thinks that he is also patriarchal, but when it comes to eating, he often prefers not to eat himself and not to eat different meals with his wife and children.

How did his second son treat his wife and daughter?

Today he talked a lot with this child, almost understood this child's temperament, this child is not a liar, he doesn't know how to face such a simple and kind child.
