Chapter 40: Homely

"Why are you still pestering your grandmother, don't eat quickly, and are busy harvesting rice in the afternoon. Xu Qing walked into the house at this time and saw that Shen Lin was still pestering his grandmother to be coquettish, completely forgetting that there were a bunch of things in the afternoon, and stared at Shen Lin who was lying in the arms of the old man angrily, Shen Lin was like a child who had done something wrong, and walked into the house with his head down, Xu Qing nodded with satisfaction and ran to the old man obediently, and asked the old man how to knit sweaters; Shen Lin stuck out his little tongue at the place where Xu Qing couldn't see it.

"What are you talking about?" Shen Tianbang tied the cow to the camphor tree and came over curiously.

Xu Qing rolled his eyes and said, "Why don't you know how to knit sweaters! Look at how well your mother sews, I really don't know how playful you were when you were a child, and you couldn't even sew clothes." ”

Shen Tianbang's face was a little red, and he was embarrassed and speechless. I can't say that I can't learn the things of a girl's family as a big man, if I really want to say that, I guess it's not a meal without food. I was embarrassed to stay here and fight with my daughter and the hot meal on the table.

Grandma Shen watched the two of them gulp down the food she cooked, and her eyes narrowed with joy.

Xu Qing asked softly, "Mom, aren't you going to eat?"

"I'm not hungry yet. Grandma Shen lowered her head and sewed the sweater intently, "You go to eat first, you don't have to wait for me." “

"Oh", Xu Qing nodded and was about to go back to the house to eat, but as soon as he turned around, a black shadow swept past Xu Qing and rushed straight to the dinner table, so frightened that Xu Qing covered his mouth and almost called out. And before Xu Qing could come to her senses, Grandma Shen put down the half-knitted sweater, picked up the crutches leaning on the tree, and limped into the house, leaving Xu Qing, who was still standing a little messy under the tree.

didn't find Shen Yun sitting in a position blocked by the door, gobbling up food.

"Girl, what do you think? If you don't come to dinner, the food will be cold. Grandma Shen walked to the door and turned around and shouted to Xu Qing, who was still standing there, 'Oh, oh' Xu Qing, who came back to his senses, hurriedly ran back to the house, and when he entered the door, he saw Shen Yun who was sitting there eating vigorously, and the thoughts in his mind were a little chaotic, and he glared at Shen Yun angrily. And Shen Yun, who has spiritual sense, even if he eats again, he feels that someone is looking at him, although there is no hostility, but there is an inexplicable chill behind him. Staring at the bowl, he glanced at the source of his gaze, and when he saw that it was Xu Qing, his originally tense nerves also relaxed, and he felt inexplicable and incomprehensible in his heart.

"Here, eat more. Grandma Shen took a large handful of vegetables and put them in Shen Yun's bowl.

"Uh......" Looking at the bright green vegetables in the bowl covering all the rice in the bowl, the original explosive appetite instantly fell to the bottom. I used to eat by myself, and I basically didn't have any vegetables, so naturally there was no weird smell of soil and lettuce, and it was all fragrant. Although I haven't cooked, I don't know how to eat, but there is no saying that 'I haven't eaten pork and haven't seen a pig run', even if I don't know how to cook again, I also know that I should put oil, which even people who haven't eaten in the past ten years know!

As everyone knows, it's not that Grandma Shen doesn't want to put oil, but that there is no oil at all, and it's rare to even eat meat a few times a year, so how can she get lard. Although rape flowers can be squeezed out of oil, but the oil squeezed out is very small, so I am willing to put it in the vegetables. What if one day the village divides the meat and runs out of oil? After all, there are too few fields, and most of the places in the mountains cannot be visited.

"Unappetizing?" Grandma Shen looked at Shen Yun with a nervous expression, and a large handful of vegetable stalks in her hand also fell back into the bowl.

"No... No..."Shen Yun held his breath and didn't even chew it, and rushed directly into his mouth, "It's delicious~ This is the most delicious I've ever tasted......"

"Come, eat more if it's delicious. Grandma Shen put a large handful of vegetable stalks in the bowl that Shen Yun had already eaten halfway.

Shen Yun's forehead was covered with black lines, and he couldn't wait to slap his mouth.

............

After the meal, Shen Lin and Shen Yun washed the dishes on the stove together, both of them stood on the bench, one holding a wooden ladle and pouring water slowly, next to a bucket of well water that had been prepared long ago, while the other was drenched in cold water, and his slightly stiff hand was holding the bowl and scrubbing it in the water.

Shen Lin peeked at his grandmother, who was chatting with his mother under the tree, and chuckled at Shen Yun, who was washing the dishes next to him, "Hehe, the food is delicious, right?"

Shen Yun glanced at Shen Lin, who couldn't tell with a smile, put aside the cleaned bowl, picked up the unwashed bowl and continued to wash.

"Why don't you speak?" Shen Lin curiously bent his neck to look at the expressionless Shen Yun, his eyes looked around, and Shen Yun, who was stared at so nakedly, wiped the bowl seriously without changing his face or squinting.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Shen Lin's free left hand shook in front of Shen Yun's eyes.

Endure... Endure... I can't bear ......

Shen Yun looked up at Shen Lin, who was bending his head and looking at him obliquely, and said in a low voice, "What?"

The corners of Shen Lin's mouth curled proudly, and the word victory seemed to be written on his face; he didn't scoop up the water, threw the wooden scoop into the wooden bucket, rubbed his somewhat sore neck with both hands, and looked at Shen Lin intently with his little head twisting from side to side, "You finally ignored me, why are you angry?"

"You talk a lot", Shen Yun put down the bowl, and rubbed his clothes with his slightly blue hand to keep warm.

"Are you really angry?" Shen Lin grabbed Shen Yun's hand and walked out, "Let's go, let's go play." ”

How can I have time to play with you little child, it's so annoying!

"Don't go", Shen Yun tugged, wanting to pull his hand out, but Shen Lin was as strong as a cow, and he didn't move and grabbed his hand.

Shen Lin's eyes rolled, as if he had thought of some ghost idea, Shen Yun, who was stared at, only felt a chill in his back; Shen Linqiang dragged Shen Yun out, looking at Shen Yun who was dragged by himself with a reluctant look, a trace of cunning flashed in his eyes, and said secretly: "Without you, how can I go out, I don't want to go to work again." ”

Although Xu Qing was chatting happily with Grandma Shen, the position where he was standing was facing the door of the dining room, and Shen Lin just pulled Shen Yun out of the house and realized it, "Do you want to go out to play again?"

Shen Lin was suddenly told the central matter, his eyes were evasive, he didn't dare to look at his mother, and stood at the door hesitantly, as if there were two villains fighting in his mind, one wanted to go out to play, and the other wanted to stay and work. I also prefer to play in my heart... , The excuse that I had thought of before was slightly stiff and directly recited: "Shen Yun just said, this place is so strange and I want to get acquainted, don't I take him to familiarize myself with the next road, lest it be bad to get lost when the time comes." ”

Shen Lin didn't dare to raise his head from beginning to end, lowered his head and read this short sentence with difficulty in a stiff voice. Xu Qing's eyes were full of smiles and looked at Shen Lin, who bowed his head as if he was admitting his mistake, and said half-jokingly in his heart: "As far as your little caution, I don't know yet, and I won't find a good excuse, it's really hard to let you go out to play~"

"Really?" Xu Qing looked at Shen Yun behind Shen Lin.

Shen Yun's questioning eyes were speechless for a while, what is this about himself, when did I say I wanted to go out to play, no, I was going out, but when did I say that I wanted to take this crazy girl!

Just when Shen Yun wanted to say, 'I don't want to go out to play', a slight pain came from the palm of his hand, and he clenched it little by little. Don't think that you really said this, the uncomfortable thing is definitely yourself, and the words that have reached your throat are swallowed alive, and her eyes are firm and she nods her head with a dare to act.

"......" Xu Qing stared at Shen Yun for a long time, and said in confusion: "No, when did this girl become so honest......

The two of them stared at each other with big eyes, Xu Qing's eyes changed from questioning at the beginning to doubt, and then from confusion to puzzlement, and finally lost the battle and didn't stare at Shen Yun's eyes anymore, and he was going to feel embarrassed if he continued to look at it. And Shen Yun's expression was the same as before, with a sincere and good boy look, as if he really said it himself, and he really didn't know the road and was afraid of getting lost.

"Go, go. Xu Qing shook his hand and chased Shen Lin like a fly.

Shen Lin, who had been keeping his head down, looked up at his mother in disbelief, and the palm of Shen Yun's hand was already wet with sweat

"Let's go", Shen Yun pulled Shen Lin, who was still stunned, and walked out.

And Grandma Shen sat under the tree and watched Xu Qing and Shen Yun look at each other, although Xu Qing blocked and couldn't see Shen Yun's appearance, but it was obvious that Xu Qing was defeated, and the old man did not expose Shen Lin's nonsense, only he knew that Shen Yun went out shortly after Xu Qing and they left, and although he came back later than them, it was definitely not because he was lost, and the lost people would not rush all the way. Alas~ Today's children are so mature and old~
