Chapter 12 Return to the Garden

"Little Five, come here." Old Man Ling finally couldn't bear it anymore.

In fact, when he heard that the most distressed little granddaughter was back, his heart was already happy, and he wanted to run out to greet him in person. But thinking that she hadn't written for so long, I was a little angry in my heart, and deliberately put on a face to see how she behaved. As soon as Shaohua entered the door and asked Old Man Ling to say goodbye, he didn't pay attention to him anymore, but chatted with Second Uncle Ling. Old Man Ling was talking to the Ling family and them, and at the same time he was concerned about Si Mo's reading, and after waiting for a long time, Shaohua didn't speak, so he couldn't help but pull his face down.

But how did he know that Shaohua was actually very empty in his heart, as if a thief had bumped into the lost owner, and when he spoke several times, he would have a sneak glance at Old Man Ling. But she just didn't know how to open her mouth so that she wouldn't be discovered, after all, she was brought up by Old Man Ling, so there was no reason why she wouldn't find out.

was named, Shaohua had no choice but to bite the bullet and slowly rub it over. After thinking about it, he shouted softly in a coquettish tone with Second Uncle Ling: "Grandfather......"

The four fathers and daughters of the Ling family all look alike, especially those eyes, which are round and big, bright and bright. His gray hair did not make him look old, with a round head and thick shoulders, red and almond eyes, and a face like an angry King Kong. Everyone looked at Old Man Ling like this, and they all silently wiped a sweat of sympathy for Shaohua.

"You little conscienceless person, you said that you would write a letter to your grandfather when you got home, it's been a year, and you haven't written a word." Old Man Ling wrinkled his face like an old naughty boy, but when he heard Shaohua's soft call, his heart immediately softened, but his breath was still stinky.

Shaohua was a little surprised, looking at the mighty and serious old man Ling, he spoke so playfully, and there was a little complaint in his tone of reprimand. Not to mention that she didn't know that there was such a thing as writing a letter, even if she remembered, she didn't know what to write, but seeing Old Man Ling's angry face, Shaohua's worries were suddenly swept away. In her opinion, Old Man Ling is just a grandfather who can't get the attention of her beloved little granddaughter.

She tilted her head and smirked, "I forgot." ā€

Although it was expected, seeing Shaohua say this, Old Man Ling couldn't help but be angry: "I know." When you get home, you don't want to be grandfathered? Old Man Ling's angry tone was like a child who couldn't get candy, the two Ling brothers turned their heads silently, pretending not to see it, and the two concubines of the Ling family tacitly pulled Wanhua to ask questions. Anyway, the temperament of the old man in his own house, everyone present knows that sometimes it's better not to poke it.

Shaohua said without thinking: "Yes, I can think about it, but I can only hide in the quilt and cry secretly." ā€

Ling Shi also nodded in agreement: "Yes, this girl, when she first came home, she often hid in the quilt and cried, and she refused to say anything when asked." ā€

The mother and daughter sang and harmonized, which made Old Man Ling's face look better, and he said with great distress: "Good girl, just say it if you want to, and let your aunt send you back." Shaohua naturally wouldn't admit that she was crying because she was homesick, but not because she wanted Pu'an. However, seeing that the old man was very happy, she was also willing to pretend to be stupid, and the atmosphere eased a little, and the old man Ling said: "Why did you come so suddenly, and you didn't say it in advance." ā€

It's not a New Year's holiday, and now it's not a day to go to spring, and for no reason I received my daughter's family to go back to my parents' house, and the old man was happy, but also couldn't help but be careful.

Ling pushed Li Xunzhuo and didn't want to speak, so Li Xunzhuo had to say to his father-in-law: "Something happened in the capital, so come out for a walk." ā€

Old Man Ling looked at his daughter and son-in-law's face was wrong, as if he was flipping through a book and sinking his face. Standing up, with his hands behind his back, he said to Li Xunzhuo and his wife quietly: "You two and I come to the study." "With everyone's many years of knowledge of Old Man Ling, this must not be a good thing. Uncle Ling patted his clothes, under the pretext of going to see what happened on the ridges of several tenants yesterday, Second Uncle Ling also said to follow, Bo Yan beckoned Si Mo to go to the study, and Second Uncle Ling took the initiative to lead the way for the three girls.

"Come, I'll take you to the house, grandfather waited for you to come, and this house was cleaned every day." Ling's second aunt and Ling's second uncle look very husband and wife, but one is thin and one is fat, the other is tall and the other is short, which looks very funny. She looked at Jinhua with a smile, "You're Qi Niang, right?" I'm really sorry, I didn't expect you to come too, or there is an ear room next door to the house where Xiao Wu originally lived, which is very bright and clean, you go there to pay attention to it. I'll clean up the house for you later? ā€

"How embarrassing is this, and I have to trouble my second aunt." Jin Hua said politely.

Second Aunt Ling was a person who didn't twist, and when she heard her say this, she nodded, "Then forget it." ā€

Jinhua was actually just saying polite words, but she didn't expect Second Aunt Ling to cut off her words without reason, so that the second half of her words were stuck in her throat, and she didn't swallow or spit out. Wanhua looked proud, caught up with Second Aunt Ling's footsteps, and said secretly: "Second Aunt, your trick is really powerful. ā€

Unexpectedly, Second Aunt Ling raised her eyebrows proudly, "Your aunt has already written a letter to say it, don't worry, grandfather won't let you be wronged." She still has a good impression of this sister-in-law who married outside, since she was bullied at her in-law's house, naturally she didn't go back to her parents' house and be wronged.

Second Aunt Ling placed them properly and let them play by themselves, and in the entire garden, except for Old Man Ling's courtyard, there were three of them.

"Third sister, what will grandfather say to daddy?" After Shaohua threw the things to the maid, she took Wanhua out to walk around the garden, and by the way, she became familiar with the place where she once grew up. Although I don't have a memory, I still feel very close.

"It's not what we should know." Wanhua shrugged her shoulders, and then said that she hadn't returned to Pu'an for a long time, and asked Shaohua to take her around.

Shaohua proposed: "Let's go find Brother Boyan." "Wanhua does not object,

Coming out of the garden, the green shade flower house, around the arch, you can see Bo Yan's residence, blue bricks and green tiles, connected together, the grandchildren of the Ling family live here. It's just that at this time, all of them were sent to study in the clan's sect, so the Ling family seemed quiet and empty.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they passed the arch, they saw Bo Yan and Si Mo talking and laughing, carrying bamboo baskets and holding a few thin poles in their hands, ready to go out. Shaohua hurriedly asked, "Where are you going in this outfit?" ā€

Si Mo showed a rare happy look, "Third sister, fifth sister!" My cousin said he was going to take me shrimp fishing! ā€

"Aren't you going to pick vegetables?" Shaohua was quite moved by Second Uncle Ling's proposal.

"You're serious." Seeing Shaohua nodding like pounding garlic, Bo Yan smiled and said: "At this time, there are no vegetables for you to pick, since you went home, the small vegetable garden has also been rented out." If you want to eat it, just ask someone to pick it from the vegetable garden and send it home. ā€

Hearing that he didn't have to go to the vegetable garden, Shaohua was a little disappointed, "Then I'll go shrimp fishing with you." Hearing about such a new thing as shrimp fishing, Shaohua immediately came alive.

Shrimp, she has eaten a lot, but shrimp fishing is a new thing, every time she says that it is sent from the south, she didn't think that there is such a strange thing next to the capital. Shaohua couldn't let it go, and begged a few words, Bo Yan had no choice but to nod and agree, and ordered someone to go and explain to the elders.

Seeing that the faces of the two girls were not hiding their excitement, Bo Yan asked where Jinhua was.

"She said she was tired and didn't want to come out." In fact, Jinhua regretted coming along.

They wanted to wait for Li Xunzhuo and them to come out of the study, so that they could inquire about the content of the conversation, but they didn't know that they were nowhere to be seen. Wanhua proposed to come out for a walk, Pu'an is just a big Zhuangzi in the end, and the folk customs are relatively simple, even if the lady goes out, no one will say anything.

It is said that it is a back mountain, but in fact, it is from the back door of the Ling family to walk straight along the bamboo forest to the end, and you can see a lake, like a net bag, and the shore is planted with bamboo forests. It's really a good day now, the sun on the water surface reflects the bamboo forest, and the reflection on the water surface makes the lake look like a huge jade. It is said to be a pond, but in the distance, it is like pulling off a button, and the water surface is magnified several times, which is enough to support the boat.

Shaohua was a little surprised, he thought that the Ling family was just the roof tile building in front of him, but he didn't expect that there was such a hidden place in the back. Not counting the pond, the green bamboo forest on the shore, and the rows of houses, all occupy a much larger area than the previous one.

Bo Yan settled them all and taught them what to do, and Shaohua proved that she was not a novice and immediately said that she knew how to deal with it. Fortunately, she had secretly looked at Bo Yanjiao Wanhua just now, so she also fiddled with it in a decent way.

The cool breeze, the green grass, the warm sun is slightly drunk, and the leisure is elegant, such a life is simply a fairy day. When they came, Shaohua also saw the woods on the small hillside not far away, and Bo Yan said that those were fruit forests, and when the fruits were ripe, they could smell the sweet aroma of fruit everywhere. Bo Yan described it very vividly, and he could hear Shaohua's drooling.

"I—I caught it." Si Mo's excited shout brought Shaohua back to his senses, and he looked at a small shrimp with a crystal and faint phosphorescence hanging from the bamboo pole in Si Mo's hand, but before he finished shouting, the shrimp fell into the water. "My shrimp!"

Si Mo let out a wail, making Shaohua laugh out loud, and Wanhua said angrily: "Anyway, Hachiro has caught one, you haven't caught it yet." "Wanhua's luck is better, when Bo Yan was teaching, she also listened carefully, so she also caught two. It's just that she wasn't as excited as Si Mo, so she reacted quickly and put the shrimp into the bamboo basket.

"Just catch another one." Bo Yan comforted gently, and while speaking, his hands did not stop, and he could catch a single shrimp all at once, and he could catch several shrimps without even changing the bait. Looking at his relaxed style, it doesn't look like he is fishing for shrimp at all, as if he is just doing repetitive movements.

Shaohua looked a little dissatisfied, Wanhua was a small gain, and Si Mo finally caught one, she waited for a long time, and there was not even a wave.

Time passed quickly in the fun, and when Boyan's bamboo basket was already filled with Xiaoman, Shaohua finally lost interest. No matter how new and interesting things are, they will be consumed in nothing, and she doesn't even look at them, just sits on the side in a daze.

Wanhua was about to say, do you want me to help you, but Shaohua threw away the wildflowers and weeds in his hand and jumped up excitedly. "Hooked, I'm hooked."

Bo Yan laughed when he heard it, "It's the shrimp that took the bait, not you." Seeing Shaohua's interest, he was worried about how to help Shaohua catch one, and when he heard her say that he took the bait, he was also relieved. Turning his face, he felt that something was wrong, shrimp fishing should be easy, but Shaohua didn't pull the fishing line out of the water for half a day with the bamboo pole.

He was shocked, and immediately dropped the bamboo pole and ran over, "Xiao Wu, what have you caught, let it go." ā€

"Don't let go! I finally grabbed it. Shaohua said stubbornly. No matter what she catches, it's better than her empty-handed, so she will never let go. But why was the other end of the fishing line so heavy, as if it was going to pull her into the water, Shaohua was shocked, and hurriedly dragged the bamboo pole back. However, the strength in the water is also very great, and it seems that he will not stop until he drags Shaohua in.

Bo Yan saw that Shaohua refused to give up at all, and in a hurry, he had to help her pull the bamboo pole. When he tried hard, he found that the hooked was definitely not an ordinary fish and shrimp. Even if he was born in martial arts, it was difficult to catch it easily, and he was afraid that if he worked too hard, the fishing line would be broken, which disappointed Shaohua.

Immediately, the atmosphere became tense and solemn, and the other two had no intention of fishing for shrimp, and they both watched Bo Yan and them engage in a mermaid battle.

Looking at the deep water ripples not far away, Bo Yan didn't think about it, and picked up the stones at his feet. One, two, three, almost all smashed in the same place, with precise force. Suddenly, the water gave up the struggle, and Bo Yan took the opportunity to pull back hard, and a huge carp dragged it out of the water and smashed it on the grass.

"This, I caught it just now?" Looking at the carp on the ground that weighed five or six catties, Shaohua couldn't believe his eyes at all.

Bo Yan was also a little surprised in his heart, but he still smiled and nodded.

Shaohua breathed a sigh of relief and immediately became excited.
