Chapter XI

Xiaohua's steps were very light, but the old grandmother still opened her eyes.

Seeing that it was Xiaohua coming, the old grandmother became affectionate and slowly looked at Xiaohua with a straight face. Her face had the dullness and a slight woodenness of an older woman.

People are sluggish and sluggish as they live, because there is less and less sensory contact.

Looking at her grandmother, Xiaohua approached her chair very obediently. took the initiative to take grandma's hand, smiled mischievously, and deliberately chattered in his mouth

"Grandma, who do you like to find the most, who are you most worried about in our family?"

The old grandmother looked at Xiaohua very wisely, and opened her mouth to come out

"I love to find, and what I think about the most is: your Abba!"

Xiaohua laughed and said

"Then, our three sisters, who do you think about the most?"

The old grandmother deliberately pretended to be angry and came out angrily

"That, the girl is so difficult, early in the morning, I don't see your shadow, now, come to me, ask about something boring, boring. With your Abba at home, do you sisters still need me to worry about it! ”

Talking here, Xiaohua thought of her own father, the sense of alienation that naturally flowed from herself. A kind of wandering sadness, climbing out, haunting in the heart.

The expression on Xiaohua's face became more and more gloomy, and she scratched her hair and murmured in an unhappy voice

"Abba's heart and eyes only have golden flowers and red flowers. And I, what am I. ”

Notice that the sad expression of the little flower. The old grandmother was very sympathetic, and she persuaded her

"Your Abba loves all your girls very much."

Xiaohua became even more stubborn and couldn't help but whisper

"Grandma, you're actually coaxing me, you know, Abba just doesn't have me in his eyes. I'm not talking nonsense! ”

The old grandmother looked at Xiaohua and sighed very seriously

"They are all pro-Abba babies, and the palms and backs of their hands are full of meat. Don't be cranky, be Abba's little daughter"

An unspeakable sadness surged into Xiaohua's heart, and she threw herself into the arms of the old grandmother. hugged the old grandmother tightly, closed her eyes tightly, and tried her best not to let herself shed tears.

The old grandmother patted Xiaohua's back very kindly and said with a smile

"How old are you, and you're still coquettish here! Get up, and I'll get you something to eat." ”

Gently pushing the little flower away, the old grandmother stood up tremblingly and walked into the house. Soon a large plate was brought out with both hands. The red date cake was neatly placed inside, and Xiaohua saw that the glutinous rice cake was steaming, and her appetite was immediately opened. Taking the big plate, Xiaohua greedily ate it.

The old grandmother said with a smile

"You! It's fun to eat! I just love to eat here, and I will make it for you quietly. Eat more. This jujube cake doesn't hurt anyone.

It's a big guy for a while. I still remember when you were a child, when you saw the jujube cake, you would grab it, and your hands were all over it. Ay! I'm so old! Xiaohua is a big girl."

Xiaohua swallowed a piece of jujube cake and said slowly

"When I was a kid, I used to catch jujube cakes? I don't know. ”

The old grandma said with a laugh

"You, you. I was naughty when I was a child. I'll take you to the market.

You were only two or three years old that year, and you walked well with your hand! I didn't even pay attention, you just ran to the tofu stall of Lao Jiang's old ginger and grabbed it. Grab that fresh tofu, that plate of tofu and mess it up.

The old ginger couldn't sell tofu, and in the end, your father ran to wrap up the tofu in the whole stall, and our family ate tofu for three days. ”

After eating a large piece of jujube cake, Xiaohua laughed embarrassedly when she heard her grandmother talk about herself.

The old grandmother looked at the big plate and said

"This lunch has just passed, and you can see for yourself that you have eaten a bunch of jujube cakes. What's wrong with your belly, you have been sweating since you were a child, you are happy when you see what you eat, and you don't want to be the master of the house when you are full. ”

Xiaohua was not shy, but even more greedy and ate it. A bright smile on his face.

In the kitchen, Ah Qing steamed the chicken cakes and heated a large vat of water to prepare these. She summoned Aunt Qiao and told her to serve Xiaohua.

Aunt Qiao stood in front of Aqing, crying and complaining

"Why am I miserable, Aqing! I'm not even as good as someone who asks for food on the street.

I served that little flower sister, and she never let me worry. When I was sick some time ago, I was busy inside and out, but now I'm sick, and I don't even have a smile. That's nothing to do with me.

Now this sister has a big temper. In the afternoon, also, still ruthless, kick me. ”

Ah Qing also echoed

"Not really! Also ran into the kitchen. scolded me and said that he was going to sue his abba, saying: I don't cook for her. This child, has he been seriously ill for a long time, and he is stunned by something. Why, it's so difficult! ”

Hearing that Aqing sympathized with herself like this, Aunt Qiao became even more aggrieved. She sat directly on the mazzard, looking at the fire with dejection. grumbled

"It's nothing else, you can't hide, you can't escape. There really is no way out for me. Serving Sister Xiaohua, I really tossed me to death. ”

At some point, Honghua suddenly appeared at the door of the kitchen.

She was dressed in powder and blue colored silk clothes, black shiny hair, and shiny black draped over her shoulders.

Ah Qing saw Honghua standing there at a glance, and kept silent alertly. Then he slapped nervously, and turned his back to Aunt Qiao at the kitchen door. Tell her to keep her mouth shut.

Honghua did not step into the kitchen, but with a gentle expression, she stood alone at the door, and said generously and gently

"You two, what are you worried about? Aunt Qiao, you are such a good-looking person, why are you worried about being like this. Serve my sister, or should I help you? ”

Aunt Qiao immediately understood that her savior was coming, and she smiled positively. Whispered

"I need our second girl to work hard. Eating, drinking, and serving Lazar was originally mine. It's also right to exhaust me as a minion.

It's your sister, she, after she got well, she had a temper, so much, it's really embarrassing for me. ”

Honghua smiled slightly and said lightly

"My sister, she is a person who has suffered many disasters. When you were seriously ill, Aunt Qiao, you didn't bother to contribute.

The family knows about this. I'm here to give you a few of my own money. After all, after my sister recovered from her illness, Abba was busy with things in the city and didn't take care of too many household chores. ”

When the words landed, Honghua took out some gold and two beautiful hairpins, and reached out to hand them to Aunt Qiao.

When I saw what Honghua gave me, it was actually a very rare gold and jade hairpin. Aunt Qiao's expression immediately flipped one hundred and eighty degrees. A burst of surprise, difficult to self-control overflowing.

Honghua saw Aunt Qiao's face, and saw the flattery of Qian's eyes. Deliberately turn your head away from your face and try to pretend you don't see it.

Then, she asked Aqing gently

"Aqing, why are you boiling this Moduo water?"

Seeing that Aunt Qiao was rewarded at such a high price, Ah Qing couldn't help but feel a little jealous. She rolled her eyes, a little upset

"I have prepared the bath water for Xiaohua, but Aunt Qiao is afraid that your sister will miss something, so she dragged it and didn't go.

Profound. But Xiaohua wasn't in the bathroom either. I don't know where she went. ”

Honghua saw Aqing's thoughts, and smiled slightly, but her expression changed very coldly

"Aqing, you can prepare more bath water. I'm going to wash with my sister in the big bath. Aunt Qiao, you help Aqing boil more water.

I'm looking for my sister. After a while, the water is good, remember to come to the bamboo building and tell me. ”

After the words were spoken, Honghua quickly walked away. She hated the fumes in the kitchen and was afraid of getting them on her clothes.

She didn't want anyone to see the expression on her face.

Compared with the golden flower, the red flower is more vicious and cunning. In fact, Honghua still has something in his hand that is given to Aqing.

She calculated in her heart that Ah Qing would be jealous of Aunt Qiao, so she deliberately did not give Ah Qing any reward.

The safflower is a heart that is afraid that the world will not be chaotic.
