Li Jingwen cried for a while, saw that everyone ignored him, and even crawled to the edge of the reed mat as if he didn't see the bowl in Zhao Qing's hand, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he pulled a fluffy, ** water chestnut cabbage seedling and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Ouch! Baby, that can't be eaten! ”

"Ouch! Why do you put everything in your mouth? ”

Meizi and Chrysanthemum screamed at the same time, and Zhao Qing was also dumbfounded.

Meizi was frightened, and hurriedly stepped forward to snatch the water chestnut cabbage, but he didn't expect the little baby's hand to be clenched tightly, and this pull was torn off, and a piece was left in his hand, so he had to break his hand again and pull out the water cabbage.

Suddenly, Li Jingwen's white little hands were pinched and dirty by plums, Zhao Qing hurriedly rushed to the well, scooped a scoop of water from the wooden barrel with a gourd scoop, held it with both hands, and walked over all the way, and there was not much left in front of him.

Meizi couldn't, and said to Zhao Qing: "Qing'er, my hands are very dirty, you can help him wash them." Once you can't wash it cleanly, scoop some water again, and scoop less each time, otherwise you won't be able to hold it. ”

Zhao Qing obediently agreed. The little girl takes care of the smaller milk baby, and the chrysanthemum looks at it with relish.

Zhao Qing ran several times, and only scooped a little water each time, otherwise she would have to hold the scoop in one hand and forcibly pull Li Jingwen's hand to help him wash it, which would be a little difficult.

While she was washing, she looked at the little milk baby and sighed, shaking her little head like a rattle, and the two small bags on her head also shook and shook - this is the chrysanthemum version of the bag Baotou, which is the masterpiece of the chrysanthemum - and said in her mouth: "Why are you so stupid? Can this thing be eaten too? What should I do if my stomach hurts when I turn around? Even if it's fried, you can't eat it—your teeth haven't grown even a mile yet. ”

She said a few words with hatred, and after washing, she threw down the scoop and grabbed the wet cloth towel on the reed mat to help Li Jingwen wipe his cheeks - Mei Zi's hand was a little slower just now, but he still asked him to stuff the water chestnut to his mouth, and his cheeks were stained.

Li Jingwen's head turned straight, dodging her hand, and there was another burst of babbling, and suddenly he grinned excitedly and waved his arm forward, "Big ...... Big ······" The ground shouted.

Chrysanthemum asked Meizi suspiciously, "What does your son want to do?" Do you understand what he says? ”

Without waiting for the confused Meizi to answer Zhao Qingdao: "His father is here, he is calling his father." Li Jingwen will call his father. ”

Meizi and Chrysanthemum looked up, and sure enough, Zhang Huai and Li Changming walked in from the outside. Seeing his son greet him so warmly, Li Changming was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth and stepped forward a few times, put his hands under his son's armpits, lifted him high, and then put it down and hugged him to his chest, kissed him the cheek, and said happily: "Jingwen, call Daddy to listen again." ”

Chrysanthemum looked at Li Changming, who was tall and sturdy, with a dark complexion, holding the little baby on his chest, and the father and son were white and black, which was extremely ridiculous; The little baby stretched out his fleshy little arms, held his father's face with both hands, squeezed his cheeks together, squeezed his mouth out, and kept pinching the dough with his hands and pulling hard.

Li Changming was not annoyed happily, and was still trying to let his son call his father, but the little milk baby refused to speak anymore.

Zhao Qing frowned and looked at Li Changming's own son and couldn't help but remind: "Brother Changming, Jingwen's face is dirty, I was about to help him wipe it, you just happened to clean it." ”

Chrysanthemum and Zhang Huai laughed together.

Li Changming asked embarrassedly, "Is it true?" Let's go wash it, wash the baby and it will be clean. So saying, he went to the well to help his son wash his face.

Meizi got up and cleaned up the pinched water chestnut, put it in the basket, and said to Chrysanthemum: "I'll go back first, let your Huaizi help clean up this mess." She was referring to the leaf garbage.

Ju Bao nodded, and was about to speak, but she heard Li Jingwen shouting again, crying

Li Changming hurriedly coaxed, but it didn't work at all, I saw the little baby babbling and shouting at the kitchen of the Chrysanthemum family, waving his little arms vigorously, leaning forward, asking his father to go there.

Chrysanthemum looked at him blankly, and said in her heart, obediently, it won't be to eat lotus root, right? This kid actually knows where the lotus root comes from?

Zhao Qing pouted and said, "He wants to eat lotus roots." Ask your dad for help. ”

Li Changming was very strange when he heard it, Meizi smiled and told him about eating lotus root just now, and the two of them praised their son for being smart and knew that the lotus root was hidden in that house. But the clever son ignored their compliments, and struggled as long as he fought for his own interests.

Li Changming hurriedly hugged him and walked out, and said in his mouth: "Let's go, go home and eat Dandanmi." That lotus root is not delicious, and my stomach hurts after eating it······" Meizi followed closely behind with a basket, casually echoing Li Changming's words.

The voices of the two gradually faded away, and Li Jingwen's babbling also stopped, thinking that because he left the courtyard gate, the attraction of the lotus root to him magically disappeared with the distance.

Chrysanthemum was amused when she thought about what happened just now, and said to Zhao Qingle: "This kid has become a fine man, and he knows that he doesn't want it from his mother, so he will ask his father again." ”

Zhao Qing sat down next to Chrysanthemum and said very old-fashionedly: "What is this?" Daddy is easier to talk to? When I was at home, my dear father would always take me secretly if my mother didn't allow me to do it. Li Jingwen knows how to look at eyes very well and knows how to beg his father. ”

Zhang Huai saw that the big and the small began to idle in the south and the north, so he sat beside the chrysanthemum with a smile, helping to pinch the water chestnut vegetables while listening to them.

Chrysanthemum asked curiously, "What is your mother not allowing you to do?" ”

Zhao Qing said a little embarrassed: "I went to watch the chickens lay eggs, but my mother didn't let me, and then my father took me to see it." It's nothing, it's almost like, just as hard. ”

Chrysanthemum laughed and continued to gossip: "What's more? ”

Zhao Qing thought for a while and said, "It's a lot of miles." I wanted to sweep the floor, but my mother said that I was too small to carry a broom, so my father tied a small broom for me to use; I wanted to go to the garden to pick vegetables, so my father made a small basket for me; I also mend my clothes, and my back hurts when I sit for a long time. ”

Chrysanthemum saw her pretending to be an adult again - where does the little baby have a sore back? I don't know where my waist is - I can't help but smile and ask with concern, "You didn't pierce your hand?" ”

Zhao Qingdao: "If you prick your hand, you have to make up for it." Mother said that if you can't mend clothes, you can't make new clothes, and you can't make shoes—" Suddenly she raised her face and laughed outside—"Daddy, why are you here?" I know how to go home, didn't you come here in vain, why don't you go to the field to work? ”

Ju Bao and Zhang Huai looked at each other and smiled-this is all about the work in the field.

I saw Zhao San striding in and said, "Dad will go down to the ground after eating." Qing'er, did you pinch a lot of water chestnut vegetables? Woohoo! My daughter is so capable, there is a fragrant water chestnut dish to eat at noon today, and your mother may be waiting for this dish to go to the pot. Let's go, let's go wash and fry and eat. ”

As soon as he encouraged him, he smiled at Zhao Qing's words, and hurriedly pointed out to him to see which ones he pinched.

Chrysanthemum helped her pack up the dishes, and grabbed some of her own pinching and added them, saying that it was difficult for Meizi and herself to take care of Li Jingwen for her, so they were specially distributed to her.

Zhao Qing was even happier when she heard that it was a reward for her. Every time Sister Chrysanthemum asked her to help with some work, she was rewarded, and she was very energetic because of it.

Zhao San smiled at the chrysanthemum knowingly and nodded, and said deliberately: "Our Qing'er is so capable, and when the younger brother is born in the future, there will be no one to take it." I was still looking at your brother, but he was reading again, and he was rarely free. Now that you will take the little baby, I am relieved. ”

Zhao Qing said happily: "Don't bother my brother, he wants to study, and when he comes back, he can teach me to read, and I will take the little baby." ”

Zhao San listened to the old man's great relief, and said with a smile: "There is Qing'er, and my father is waiting to enjoy the blessings!" Holding Zhao Qing in one hand and carrying a vegetable basket in the other, he said hello to Huaizi and Chrysanthemum and left.

Zhao Qing walked by his father's side, and did not forget to turn back to Chrysanthemum and said, "Sister Chrysanthemum, I will accompany you again tomorrow." ”

Chrysanthemum also humorously shouted, "Thank you."

I'm always bothering you to accompany me, and I'm embarrassed to delay your work. ”

She stopped and shouted, "It doesn't matter, I'm idle anyway, and I can learn to do housework with you." ”

Zhao San and Zhang Huai looked at this living treasure with amusement.

When the father and daughter walked away, Chrysanthemum slowly exhaled and smacked her mouth again, feeling that her cheeks were sour-every time Zhao Qinglai was like this.

After sorting out her expression, she turned her head and asked Huaizi, "Have you discussed?" She asked about the transfer of the workshop.

Huaizi nodded and said lightly: "It's all right." In fact, there is nothing to discuss, what can the Li family do if they don't take over and sell it to the Fang family? Isn't it possible to wait for someone to rob it? It's a plain deal. Everyone is arguing around, but they are all afraid of losing money. ”

Chrysanthemum said: "It's common for them to be reluctant to let go - they wanted to make a fortune from this workshop." ”

Huaizi said in a deep voice: "That's because they can't calculate this account, although the workshop makes money, but in addition to the labor and various costs, it can't make much." If it is transferred to the Fang family to operate, we will focus on raising pigs and farming, and the things we collect can also increase income, unlike in previous years, these things are not easy to sell. ”

Chrysanthemum nodded, and just wanted to speak, but Huaizi smiled and said, "We can't take care of other people's affairs, wait for Ming'er to let them negotiate the conditions with the Fang family." Chrysanthemum, you like the little baby so much, you say, how many suitable miles will we have in the future? ”

Chrysanthemum was stunned for a moment, and saw him looking at himself with a smile, his eyes overflowing with tenderness and expectation, so he deliberately asked, "How much do you want to have?" ”

Huaizi saw that Chrysanthemum was asking him seriously, so he opened his mouth and smiled: "Of course I want more, but I also want you to be willing to be born." Chrysanthemum, you often take Zhao Qing to play, I like it very much. Qing'er is very likable, and I really want a girl like Qing'er. ”

Chrysanthemum listened to the softness in her heart, and when she saw his longing on his face, she smiled and said, "Oh! Then I'll help you give birth to a girl like Qing'er. I promise to teach her to be more clever and likable than Qing'er. ”
