Chapter 153: The Bitter Swallow
Then the two didn't say much, and after waiting for the people in the field to come up in a swarm, Hao Haocai and Xu Hai continued to chat.
"You're not in a hurry, why don't you stay and have dinner for one night and then go back?"
"Okay." Xu Hai hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
Then, Xu Haihai took a few steps forward, said a few words to a few people who came with him, and then watched them follow Hao Hao to the house, pulled flour and some fruits and left.
Hao Hao watched them drive away, a little reluctant to speak.
"It's really a little unsettling to let me go back without eating."
"It's okay, I'll invite them to eat next time, now the store urgently needs flour and vegetables, Master Zhang can't urge it, if you stay and eat, it is estimated that they will be hungry tomorrow." Xu Hai looked at Hao Hao, who was reluctant, with a little amusement, and comforted him.
"Master Zhang is so powerful, I don't think he looks like it?" Hao Hao looked surprised, her dark eyes suddenly opened the boss, and she looked like you were lying to me, and the picture flashed in her mind, but she didn't capture a trace of Master Zhang's serious and fierce appearance.
"If you don't believe me, I'll take you to see and see." Xu Hai turned around and leaned against the door frame, looking at Hao Hao, who was frowning, he was greedy for the time in front of him, looking at the woman he liked, his brows were slightly wrinkled, his eyes were rolling around, the corners of his mouth were unconsciously raised slightly, and his eyes were doting.
The sun overhead gradually set westward, and the lovely sun gradually set on the horizon, revealing only half of its flushed cheeks, looking at the people on the earth tenderly.
Although the sunshine on the west slope is not very strong, it is not weak either, and the light shining on Hao Hao and Xu Hai at first glance creates a romantic and gentle atmosphere.
Tian Runsheng, who had just come back from outside, happened to capture this picture, the woman in the picture was beautiful and eye-catching, and the man was also not inferior to the woman, his angular face, the long eyebrows that flew obliquely into the sideburns, and a pair of bright eyes, at the moment he was looking at the woman opposite, and the woman was looking down at the flowers that had just fallen on the ground, Tian Runsheng frowned instinctively, but he had to admit that Xu Hai's appearance was indeed better than himself, and his elegant and elegant temperament wrapped him with deep connotation, although he didn't know much about it, but I still think he's very charming.
The gaze lasted for less than a minute, and many images flashed through his mind, only to be broken by his strong feelings.
"Okay, why don't you bring guests into the house?" Tian Runsheng still did what most men would do, which was to interrupt the two of them at the exit.
"You're back, are you done with your father?" Hao Hao raised his head and looked at Tian Runsheng who came against the light, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, but Hao Hao still keenly felt his ups and downs, and couldn't help but be a little worried, but she was quickly relieved, because she felt that she hadn't done anything wrong, so she didn't need to be so weak-hearted.
"Almost, I'll come back and help you cook. Where's Dad, back to the house? Tian Runsheng looked at the two people outside the door, searched around and didn't find his father-in-law, so he opened his mouth to ask.
"In the yard, Guoguo is back, they are picking strawberries in the vegetable garden with Tiantian, since you are back, help me make dinner, there are two more people tonight, let's eat honey roasted lobster and iron pot stewed noodles, how about it?" Hao Hao secretly stretched out his hand to gesture to Xu Hai and said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll clean up, you take the guest into the courtyard, you can't let him stand outside. How bad it is. Tian Runsheng always emphasized that Xu Hai was a guest, how could someone as smart as Xu Hai not hear it, so he smiled and followed Hao Hao into the courtyard.
As soon as he stepped into the yard, he heard the lively cheers in the yard, among which Hao Hongmeng was the worst, it is estimated that he became a grandfather, people's psychology and physiology have been greatly changed, he watched with joy as his little grandson picked up a strawberry, and then fed it to his mouth accurately, he didn't think of the problem of dirty or not, at this moment his heart was full of granddaughter who put himself in his heart, and the so-called daughter was not in his consideration at all.
The courtyard was filled with laughter, and the fragrance of flowers in the courtyard seemed to be more mellow due to the laughter. Even the old man, who has always had a bad nose, is intoxicated at the moment, he is lying under the grape trellis, holding a pu fan in his hand, swaying leisurely and freely. humming Xintianyou in his mouth, the high-pitched and tactful singing voice drifted in all corners of the courtyard with the wind.
A few days ago, Boss Sun had nothing to do, and introduced a canal of living water in his yard, which was placed in the southeast corner of the vegetable garden, just adjacent to the toilet, and it was more convenient to water and flush the toilet in the future, but Sun Laohan was afraid that the junior in the family would sneak over and accidentally fall, so he built an arched small bridge on the living water, the bridge body was made of wood, the bridge was half-crescent-shaped, and the two sides of the bridge were particularly beautiful because of the arched roses, and from time to time there would be a few little heads hidden in the flowers, at this moment, Guoguo was standing at the head of the bridge, Holding a small stick in her hand, the small stick kept stirring in the water with her movements, and the already flowing living water became more lively and free.
A few darker clouds occasionally float overhead, and the red sunset is projected on the bridge deck through the clouds, making the fun-loving fruit seem much quieter.
Hao Hao was in the house at this moment, Xu Hai did not retreat because of Tian Runsheng's words, but became more and more frustrated, and the meal of nearly 100 people would definitely not be good for a while, but there were many helpers on multiple hands, so Tian Runsheng did not refuse without knowing each other.
Xu Hai sat on a simple wooden stool under the eaves, with a large pot of lobsters in front of him, because of the space water, the crayfish grew very fast, the previous long lobster, now it has doubled in length, and the crayfish body is also a lot thicker, so their spiritual head is also very good, when Xu Hai and Tian Run are vivid, they immediately waved their hard pliers, and kept pecking at the enemy of aggression.
In the house, Hao Hao and Aunt Xu, one made noodles and the other cleaned up the side dishes, and only Hao Hao was the one who cleaned up the side dishes in the current situation.
"The one in Hao Hao's yard is your father?" Aunt Xu didn't know when the fire of gossip was ignited, and she asked curiously.
"Yes, he's my dad, Aunt Xu and my dad's spirit, right?" Hao Hao asked proudly. Her eyes lit up, which made Aunt Xu, who had just been surprised, laugh suddenly.
"You girl, it turns out that you are waiting for me here, your father is really energetic, and I know why you are so capable, because you have a powerful father, your father should love you very much, look at you and Guoguo and you know that he is not a serious person." Aunt Xu's husband is an unserious and romantic person, although he has no reproductive function, but he is mentally healthy, and he loves Aunt Xu more than guilt.
"Yes, my dad has loved us since he was a child, and he will give us delicious food, he loves my mother very much, because they have a good relationship, so we are happy and happy as children, even if we have the experience of not having enough food and clothing in childhood, but they give us infinite love, we have no reason to do badly, right?" Hao Hao looked at the laughing middle-aged man through the window, his face was full of happiness and sweet smile, holding his grandson in one hand and a red strawberry in the other, occasionally singing a duet with the old man, such a peaceful and quiet life is not what they are pursuing.
"You woman speaks one set of things, I haven't been to school, I don't understand what you say, but I still understand and agree with your words, take Xu Yan as an example, her family is good, her parents are loving, she would have lived a happy life like you, but look at her now, narrow-minded, and love to chew the root of her tongue, so she didn't live a good life." Aunt Xu shook her head as she spoke, sighing from time to time.
Hao Hao's curiosity was aroused, she tilted her head and asked in a low voice.
"Xu Yan is not happy?"
"I knew that you, a woman, wanted to ask, and I also listened to what the fifth aunt said, she was fine at first after she got married, but then the husband and wife quarreled all the time, and they fought from time to time. Aunt Xu said with some distress, she originally thought that Xu Yan's girl was very unpleasant, but later she heard others say that she was disabled, and she was a little distressed.
"Does anyone know why the fight is going on?" Hao Hao asked again, but there were many reasons in his mind, and it finally came down to a problem with one party.
"You see that Xu Yan can't give birth to a child, she has been married for a few months, she hasn't moved, her husband is a soldier again, and he is not at home all the year round, so the old parents have to be supported and served by their daughter-in-law, but because of the child's affairs, the family is not doing well." Aunt Xu smiled a little sadly, the smile on the corner of her mouth was reluctant, and her mouth was slightly bitter.
"Aunt Xu, I think it may be a man's problem that he can't have a child." Hao Hao didn't understand it either, and said with a smile.
"You're right, but no one thinks so." Aunt Xu smiled even more bitterly, she deeply felt such bitterness.
"Only Xu Yan can get the result she wants if she fights for this matter herself, and besides, Xu Yan is such a strong person, she was bullied like this in her in-law's house, I can't believe it." Hao Hao sighed, mistakenly thinking that when she wanted to grab Gao Shao'an, that kind of strong and domineering momentum was eaten by a dog because she was married, and her consistent behavior can become timid because she got married, in the final analysis, she herself doesn't want to improve the current predicament.
"It is estimated that it is Xu Yan's own problem, and rural people love face, some things can't be said outside, and her husband is a state service worker, once there is a stain, I am afraid it will not be very good for himself and the unit he is in." Aunt Xu's analysis is the Tao, and what she said is not bad at all.
But Hao Hao disagrees, because of face, for some reason, he indulges some people to do certain things, and such people are still proud to kick out early. Save wasted resources.
