Chapter 12: Someone is looking for something
"Xu Laohan, you can go back, there are a lot of jobs waiting for you to do at home, you can rest assured that no one in your daughter-in-law dares to bully, whoever bullies her, I will clean her up." The fifth aunt patted her chest and promised.
"Then her fifth aunt will trouble you." Xu Laohan said gratefully.
"Xu Laohan is from a village, what are you polite, you are ashamed of my face." The fifth aunt laughed and quipped.
"Woman, you can do it here with peace of mind, and you don't have to worry about things at home." Xu Laohan told me uneasily.
"I know Dad, go back, I will make lunch on time, pay attention to your body when you go to work in the field, drink plenty of water, and don't suffer from heat stroke." Hao Hao looked at the old man who was as majestic as a mountain, and suddenly his heart warmed, as a child, only when she is a parent can she understand her parents, for example, when she became a mother, she really understood that there is a kind of suffering that she would rather eat by herself than carry her children.
After sending off Xu Laohan, Hao Hao took the hoe and entered the orchard.
At this time, the fruit tree has already borne fruit, and the flat land under the tree is overgrown with weeds, so she chooses the most hidden place and feeds the baby before she begins to work.
There are not many busy people in the orchard, about four or five, an uncle who takes care of the orchard, I heard that it is a widow and old man in the village, and the person in charge of watering is a man named Erhan, about one meter eight tall, and his appearance is very consistent with his name, and there are three women, one is as young as her, but he glared at her when he entered the garden, which made her a little inexplicable.
There are two about forty years old, one is very strong, the other is very thin, but she looks good, belongs to the bewitching shape, don't look at her older than herself, but Hao Hao thinks that no one is as charming.
Everyone is unfamiliar, so the opportunity did not say hello.
This work is really light, she swings the hoe, digs up the long grass, dandelions, bitter herbs, etc. in the field, and then uses the hoe to shave aside, so that it is easy to pick up.
She went out to prepare, filled herself with a pot of water in advance, and filled the cloth bag next to her with cakes.
Xiao Tiantian on her back is still sleeping peacefully, everything from the outside world can't affect her, Hao Hao is working while thinking about making a stroller for the child. According to the memory of the original owner, her father-in-law is very skilled, I heard that when she was young, she was the most popular offspring in ten miles and eight towns, and her deceased mother-in-law married her father-in-law because of his craft.
Hao Hao thought that since her father-in-law was skilled, then her stroller should be successful, but unfortunately she didn't learn to draw, otherwise she could make a better one for Britney.
Alas, I knew I would come here, so she would have to learn to draw, and if she did, she would draw by herself, and then buy drawings would be good. It's a pity that it's hard to buy.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are rights and wrongs.
Hao's unsociable personality made the three women talk about it.
"This widow's personality is really unpleasant, she is hiding in the gutter alone, is she afraid that people will laugh at her?" When she first entered the courtyard, the woman who stared at Hao Hao was really scathing.
"Didn't the little daughter-in-law of Yanzi Xu Laohan's family say a few words to Brother Shaoping, who you like, isn't it a little too vicious for you to talk about people like this." A thin woman about forty years old, also surnamed Xu, is a native of Xiahe Village, and she can't look down on this young woman called Yanzi.
"Aunt Xu, what nonsense are you talking about, I won't just say a word, you scold me for being vicious, where am I vicious?" The young woman named Swallow was not happy.
"Alright, alright, let's say a few words." The fatter woman, seeing that the two were about to quarrel, hurried to stop it.
The two looked at each other unpleasantly, and suddenly stopped, Hao Hao felt very funny after hearing it, there are such strange things everywhere, you didn't mess with her, she climbed and bit you upside down, which reminded her of the novels she had read before, where many women were malicious to the heroine, isn't it because the men they like don't look at you, don't pay attention to you, and occasionally treat the heroine well, they are jealous, and they stumble everywhere in the future.
But Hao Hao thinks that she is not the heroine, and the male protagonist is not Gao Shaoping, what does the swallow hate her for, it is really inexplicable.
"Wow, wow, wow," Britney cried.
"Tian Tian doesn't cry, mom see if you're peeing?" Hao Hao was interrupted by Xiao Tiantian's crying, and hurriedly returned to his senses to see the baby, nothing is important now.
Untied the baby from her back, she looked at the child's red nose, a little distressed, and then squatted down, quickly untied the cover, and sure enough, she urinated.
"Tiantian, you are the most clever, you cry when you feel uncomfortable, and then your mother will save a lot after that." Hao Hao said with a smile while changing his diaper.
In the past two days, I have made up for myself, and the baby has benefited a lot. It could be seen in her fair skin and bright eyes.
"Grow up quickly, mom is waiting for you to drive mom's dog." Hao said with a smile.
"It's sick." A woman named Yanzi came out from behind a tree and scolded behind Hao Hao's back.
Hao Hao didn't want to pay attention to such a neurotic now, wrapped the child, drank some water by himself, ate a piece of cake, and continued to be busy.
I don't know how long it took.
"I'm home." I don't know who shouted.
Hao Hao, who was busy with his head down, stopped, looked up at the sky, and sure enough, the sun was overhead, and it was time to go home to cook.
"Sweet, we're home." Hao Hao quickly came back to his senses and said to the little milk baby behind him.
"You see if she's crazy enough to talk to a little doll. The girl named Swallow began to do it again.
"What's wrong with people talking to their own babies, you haven't given birth to babies, what do you know." Aunt Xu choked as she left.
"Aunt Xu, you don't have a baby, you are greedy for others, right?" The little girl named Yanzi didn't want to suffer at all, and said things that made Aunt Xu very heartbroken.
As soon as she spoke, Aunt Xu's body trembled, and another woman who loved to be a peacemaker also trembled, this swallow usually has a broken mouth, but will not poke people's sore spots, today this is stimulated, and there is no one to handle the door, who doesn't know that Xu Hua has a very rough life because of the child's death, and the people in the village pity this woman who looks big but hard, and generally doesn't say anything about other people's affairs.
But Yanzi is an unmarried girl, why is she so ignorant.
"You try to say one more sentence and see that I don't tear your mouth apart." , Aunt Xu adjusted her mood and turned around and said coldly.
"I'm not going to tell you, I'm going home." Yanzi looked at Aunt Xu's gloomy face and was afraid, and ran away before anyone could say anything.
"Hua'er, don't worry about her, you don't know, this swallow can't love it, it's been held in your heart for a long time, it's easy to break your mouth, don't take it to heart."
"Broken mouth? I think she's been living a good life for a long time, and she's forgotten what happened before. Aunt Xu said disdainfully.
"yes, it's been a long time." The aunt who was blessed sighed, if this had been put aside a few years ago, she would have been pulled out and criticized, and you were still talking nonsense here.
Aunt Xu was not happy when her scars were revealed today, so she said a few words to her friends in the same village and left in a hurry.
"It seems that this village is still very complicated." Hao Hao looked at the departing two and muttered, but this episode did not affect her and Xiao Tiantian's mood, don't say that she is ruthless, this matter really has nothing to do with her, she didn't stir up trouble or gossip, she was also the one who was implicated.
When everyone else is gone, it's time for her to go back. If you don't go back, you won't be able to catch up with the cooking order.
The people in the village were busy, and occasionally they met one or two second-rate people who were idle.
However, the rural style is simple, and generally no one dares to flirt, and there will be no such thing as molesting people.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I happened to meet Xu Laohan who came back from the field.
"Dad, you're back."
"The woman has been working all morning, is she used to it?" Xu Laohan looked at Hao Hao's appearance without fatigue, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he was still very concerned.
"Adapt, Dad, you've been working all morning, how do you feel, you're hungry, I'll cook for you when I go back, what do you want to eat." Hao Hao also secretly observed Xu Laohan's expression, she secretly said, this spiritual spring water is really good, Xu Laohan's old face is much better than the previous two days, and his spirit is also a lot fuller.
"I want to eat some noodle soup and put more chili peppers, and I can eat two or three bowls of food in the past two days." Xu Laohan said with a smile.
"Good. I also want to eat noodle soup, so I'll make it when I get back. Hao Hao took over Xu Laohan's back basket, looked at the basket full of grass, and felt beautiful in his heart, it seems that the sheep is delicious again.
The temperature at noon is very high, the child tied to his back for a morning, it is estimated that the heat is prickly, the top priority is to put the child down, and then wipe it with spiritual spring water, cool down the child, and then change into clean clothes by the way.
The two puppies watched Hao Hao enter the house and barked hurriedly.
Because the dog's sense of smell is the most sensitive, I drank the spiritual spring water in the past two days, and my spirit is getting more and more full day by day, and my senses are much more sensitive than the previous days.
I took the time to put some water for them, and hurriedly wiped the children's bodies.
This is half an hour, and finally after the children are busy, they start to make lunch.
"Today's noodle soup I still mix some space flour to see how the effect and taste are? Is it as good as it is said in other novels after eating? Hao Hao said and secretly mixed the noodles he grinded.
And the surface is more white than before, and it seems that there is no difference.
I don't dare to do more with the ingredients, so I can only pick up the usual ones from the vegetable garden first, and then change them to my own space when frying. In this way, Xu Laohan couldn't find anything unusual.
As soon as the fragrance was fried, the fragrant Hao Hao drooled.
She spit on herself while frying, so she can't hold it anymore, if this is a great effect, then she won't have to put a scarf around her neck every day.
The lunch was still sumptuous, so he first served a bowl to Xu Laohan, and made a small dish, and before leaving the house, he said again: "Dad heard that your old craftsmanship is very good, can you take the time to make a stroller for Tiantian?" ”
"Stroller?" Xu Laohan was puzzled.
"It's a car for babies, I look at some places with shakers, but I think this is inconvenient outside, the swing shaker at home can be, and the outside relies on strollers. Dad now that the market is open, I should be able to buy rubber wheels, first trouble you to make a wooden car, as for the wheels, when I make money, buy four smaller ones, how about pressing them? Hao Hao told Xu Laohan his thoughts seriously.
