Chapter 33: Follow Us
Ye's hot meal was brought over, and Zhao Hui had already gotten off the bed.
"You're hungry! Come over for a bite to eat first. Ye helped him set up the dishes and chopsticks and beckoned him to sit down.
When he saw the food on the table, Zhao Hui actually couldn't help it. However, compared to the gobbling up when he first met Li Jinshu, his demeanor this time was obviously much more gentle. Of course, the pace of eating is not slow.
The mother and daughter also did not have the habit of staring at other people's meals. So when Zhao Hui moved the chopsticks, they went outside. The pile of corn in front of the door has not yet been cleaned up, and it has to be torn off its husk and spread out in the yard to dry.
The sound of tearing corn came from outside the house. Zhao Hui listened quietly while eating, and before he knew it, the speed of his hands slowed down a lot.
Outside the house, the mother and daughter were discussing in whispers.
"Mother, when his illness is cured, do you have to go back to that broken ancestral hall?"
"He has no father or mother, and the elders in the family don't care about him, so where else can he go?"
Li Jinshu pondered for a moment and whispered, "Why don't you ...... Let him stay in our house! ”
Ye's hand peeling corn paused, and then listened to his daughter continue: "Anyway, he can't eat much food alone." Seeing that he is quite healthy, we will not lose money if he follows us to help share some work in the future. ”
She was afraid that the Ye family would not be willing, so she put forward such a statement. Who knew that when Ye Shi heard this, he handed her a helpless look: "If we really want to take him in, we can't have a plan for people." What's more, he has to be willing to do it. ”
Ye said this, and the meaning of his words was obviously to agree with his daughter's suggestion. She has lived a hard life since she was a child, if she hadn't met Li Yunchang and the kind villagers in Qingshui Village, how could she live a life like today? Therefore, the Ye family still has a lot of kindness to outsiders.
At the end of the conversation between the mother and daughter, Li Jinshu inadvertently turned his head and saw Zhao Hui standing at the door. I don't know how long he's been eavesdropping.
Yip also noticed......
"Kid, are you done eating? Is it enough? There are still in the pot, and if it is not enough, go and serve some more. ”
This time, Zhao Hui finally spoke: "Enough, thank you!" ”
Li Jinshu was happy when he heard it: "It turns out that you can speak, I thought you couldn't speak." ”
Ye Shi "warned" his daughter with his eyes, and turned his head to Zhao Hui and said, "If it's enough, go and drink the bowl of medicine in the kitchen!" You had a cold yesterday, and you had to drink medicine for two days to get better. ”
Li Jinshu pursed her mouth, and without waiting for Zhao Hui to make a move, she stepped into the kitchen first and brought out the medicine bowl: "Na! Here you go. ”
Zhao looked back at the black potion in front of him, and drank it all in one go without blinking his eyes.
None of the three spoke, and the atmosphere became a little awkward for a while. Fortunately, Ye Shi found the opportunity to speak: "Child, I have heard some about you, if you have nowhere to go, you can stay in our house in the future!" Although the conditions of our family are not good, it is not a problem to feed you. ”
The mother and daughter looked at Zhao Hui and waited for him to nod. However, he was not as decisive as Li Jinshu expected, and he didn't open his mouth after a while, let alone nod directly.
"Hey! My mother asked you, are you willing or unwilling, but open your mouth. ”
Zhao Hui lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, and then Li Jinshu realized that his ears seemed to have turned red, probably embarrassed? Or is it too excited??
Li Jinshu understands. This kid just has an awkward personality and can't express his thoughts well. So she "took matters into her own hands" and said, "If you don't speak, then you agree." Come on! You'll follow us from now on! ”
