Chapter 2: Dream or Reality?
"Daddy's eating." Hao Hao shouted into the house with his meal.
"Here we are." Old Man Xu's voice sounded.
Hao Hao put the rice outside, there was wind under the eaves, which was just right.
"Daddy, do you want chili?" Hao Hao asked again, she learned from TV and her friends that people here love to eat chili peppers, and I don't know if Xu Laohan wants it.
"Come on, you've done a good job today." Xu Laohan actually praised.
"Dad, if you like to eat, I'll make it for you every day in the future." A person who cooks likes to eat the most praises her, so that she has a greater sense of accomplishment in cooking a meal.
"Woman, dad told you something." Xu Laohan said without raising his head in the process of bibimbap.
"Dad, you say something, I'll listen." Hao Hao didn't know what this simple old man was going to say, but he still listened to him patiently.
"Hao Hao, Yangzi is gone, you take a baby and me, an old man, life must be hard, when Yangzi is a year old, you will find another one, and you will also take my granddaughter, she will live well with you." In just such a short sentence, Xu Laohan said very hard and reluctant.
Hao Hao understood that he was lamenting why fate was so unfair and made him lose his son in old age, and he was a lonely old man who couldn't be so selfish to detain a young woman.
"Dad, where are you going?" Hao Hao asked.
"I'm not leaving, I'm going to stay here alone." Old man Xu's vicissitudes of life are a little gray.
"Dad, you are my father, and you are also Yangzi's father, why should I leave you, besides, Yangzi is just gone, and I don't want to remarry, I just think that our three grandfathers will live like this, and when the days are good, I will take you to the west of the provincial capital, and settle down there, if there is a suitable one, I will knot, and if there is no suitable one, I will not knot." Hao Hao said very calmly, and his tone was very relaxed, which made Xu Laohan a little surprised.
"Dad, you're scared?" Hao Hao asked again.
"No, it's just that Dad thinks you're a single woman with my old man and a milk doll, but it's good. You need a man. Xu Laohan said again.
"Dad, this is not in a hurry, we have to think about how to make our lives better. By the way, Dad, I see that you feed the chickens on the usual bran, and wheat bran, the eggs laid by the chickens are not many and not big, I read a book on agriculture when I was in school, saying that it is to raise earthworms with dead leaves, etc., used to feed the chickens, the chickens grow fast, and the eggs are also big, or Dad, you try? Hao Hao changed the topic and drew Daddy Xu's attention to the matter of chickens.
"Can it really be done?" As soon as Xu Laohan heard about the matter related to his livelihood, he immediately stopped worrying about what happened just now, and asked urgently.
"If you try it anyway, it won't take much trouble anyway." Hao Hao didn't directly give Xu Laohan an accurate answer, she said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll try. There are earthworms in the rain in the field, I will catch some and try them, and there are loaches in the river to feed the chickens, I will also catch some. Xu Laohan said happily.
"Okay, Dad, let's eat, I'll go to bed after lunch, and in the afternoon you tinker with earthworms, what I want to do, it's best to think of something to do business." Hao Hao said again.
"Okay." Xu Laohan is also happy to be like this, people always have to look forward, and it is not a matter to blindly immerse themselves in pain.
After lunch, Xu Laohan went to sleep next door, and Hao Hao cleaned up the kitchen and hurriedly went into the house to breastfeed his daughter, which was a waste of time to cook and wash the pot, she was afraid of starving her daughter.
Hao Hao didn't realize that she actually took the initiative to enter the role.
"Baby, you don't have a name yet, mom will give you a milk name." Hao Hao looked at the sweet little baby, although he had just come out of confinement, he was very cute, with a white and tender little face and a cherry mouth, and he must be a beautiful little girl when he grows up.
"It's called Tiantian, mom hopes that you will live a sweet and happy life in the future." Hao Hao didn't hesitate at all, and immediately came up with this milk name.
The baby in her arms didn't know what her mother said, and she still filled her stomach wholeheartedly.
Unconsciously, Hao Hao fell asleep leaning on the quilt.
In her dream, she came to a place where there were mountains and rivers, and melons and fruits were fragrant. But her eyes were not on food, but on a pool of clear spring water, she couldn't help swallowing her saliva, and then walked there unconsciously with her feet.
The spring water is milky white, and she can taste the fragrance of the spleen before she gets closer, and the smell is stronger, and when she gets closer, she can't help but squat down, and drink the water with both hands.
When the spring water entered her stomach, she felt comfortable, and the spring water in her stomach still carried a trace of the refreshing plum blossom smell.
"Drink well!" Hao Hao sighed. I couldn't help it, and I drank several sips in a row.
After drinking the water, she went to other places to stroll, roughly measured, there is an acre of size here, but it is overgrown with all kinds of melons, fruits and vegetables, as if someone does not know the way of farming, and planted everything that can be planted, or it is deliberate. Hao Hao didn't know, and she didn't want to know much about it, so she felt that it was a dream.
As soon as her eyes turned, she dreamed of a modern home again, and her family was happily eating hot pot, but in the dream, she was more or less as big as before, but a little more weak and quiet. Hao Hao thought in his heart that this was not him.
Then she looked at her husband again, he still looked at herself with a doting face, and he was picking vegetables and pouring drinks, which made Hao Hao suddenly think of when he was dealing with the object just now, her husband was like this, very diligent, although he was not as diligent as before after marriage, the heart that loved himself was still like this.
For some reason, the scene changed again. She arrives at a jewelry store, where she and her husband are looking at jewelry at a counter.
She took a closer look, and in her dream, she was pointing to the plum-shaped bracelet the size of grapes and discussing with her husband, saying that the plum blossom bracelet was good, and that it was golden, and that it was a big deal to keep it when she didn't wear it.
I suddenly remembered a scene, it was she who accidentally dropped the plum blossom bracelet on the ground, and she went to pick it up and fainted as soon as she touched the plum blossom bracelet person.
Could it be because of the plum blossom bracelet that she can come here?
Suddenly, the child cried, and Hao Hao woke up from the dream.
