Chapter 36: Invite the children
When I walked into the hall, I saw that in addition to Dabao's absence, there were three more children in the house, but several children were a little scared when they saw her.
Erbao turned his head and saw that she was back, and excitedly rushed to her: "Mother, you are back." ”
"Well, what are you guys playing?" Bu Linglong pinched his fleshy cheek and said.
"Brother Zhu, they're coming to see the little rabbit."
"Did you bring some snacks out for them?" The little rabbits at home were picked up in the backyard, and the mother rabbit had just given birth and did not move the place, which was convenient for her, and the children liked it, so they stayed, and the care of them was completely left to them, and she did not ask.
"I forgot, I'll go get it." Erbao slapped his little head and ran away.
Bu Linglong knew that these children were more afraid of her, so she didn't stay in the hall for long, and went directly into the kitchen to eat.
When Zhuzi saw her enter the kitchen, he was about to take his leave, and at this time, Erbao happily came out with the pastry to share with them.
Although he is a foodie and a good foodie, he is still willing to share things with his good friends.
"Sanbao, your mother has changed, so gentle." The pillar glanced in the direction of the kitchen.
"Well, my mother is fine."
"Brother Zhuzi, go wash your hands, let's have a snack."
Zhuzi was very happy when she heard this, and took her sister to wash her hands, and a group of children were eating snacks in the hall, and the laughter reached Bu Linglong's ears, and she curled the corners of her lips and laughed.
"Brother Zhuzi, where are we going to play?"
"I don't know, there's nothing to do." The pillar thought about it for a while, but he didn't think of anything to play with.
Hearing their conversation, Bu Linglong walked out of the kitchen and asked, "Do you want to play a game?" ”
Erbao was the first to turn his head to look at her: "Mother, what game?" ”
"You haven't played it, I said the rules of the game, if you don't understand, ask if you know?"
Several children looked at her seriously and nodded: "Okay." ”
“”
First of all, you can't go out of our yard to play games, you hide anywhere in the house, I close my eyes and count from one to twenty, count to count, I open my eyes to find you, this game is called hide and seek, that is, you hide me to find.
"Mother, how do you count?" Sambo asked curiously.
"I'll teach you to count first, it's very simple, you listen well, one, two, three, four~~~ ten. That's the number of ten, you can try it. ”
The Three Treasures were the fastest learners, he memorized them once, the Second Treasures practiced three times, and the other children were a little slower, but she was very patient and waited for them to fully master them.
"Do you remember them all?"
The children nodded their heads and said yes.
"Okay, now we'll start, I'll close my eyes, you guys quickly find a place to hide, the first person I caught will be his turn to find someone in a while."
"Okay." The children were very excited in unison.
Bu Linglong walked to the gate of the courtyard, leaned against the wall with her arms as pillows, put her head on her hands and began to count loudly, and the children began to flee in all directions looking for a place to hide.
Bu Linglong slowed down the speed of counting, gave the children enough time, and waited until she couldn't hear the sound, then opened her eyes and shouted into the courtyard: "I'm coming to find you." ”
Bu Linglong's eyes swept around the courtyard, and he immediately found Erbao hiding under the bamboo basket, "Erbao, I have caught you." ”
Erbao pouted, "Mother, why did you find me all of a sudden." ”
Bu Linglong pointed to his exposed little feet, "Your little feet are still exposed, do you think I can find you." ”
Erbao walked to the side dejectedly, "Next time I will definitely hide well." ”
Bu Linglong rubbed his little head and comforted: "Okay, you must work hard when you arrest people in a while." ”
Erbao clenched his little fists and cheered himself: "I will definitely be able to catch them right away in a while." ”
Bu Linglong soon found Xiaoya behind the door, found Sanbao and Zhuzi in Mrs. Lin's room, and found another child in the backyard, and in a few breaths, she found all the children.
After the pillar was found, she was very frustrated, and when she saw Mrs. Lin pursing her lips and snickering on the side, she thought she had told Bu Linglong, "Grandma Lin, did you tell your aunt?" ”
Mrs. Lin looked at him with a smile and said, "Grandma didn't say it." ”
"Okay." The pillar walked out of the room with his head bowed.
After all the children were found, they came to the pillar in the courtyard and immediately looked at Bu Linglong with their heads held high and asked, "Auntie, who was the first person you caught?" ”
"It's me." Before Erbao could speak, he jumped out and admitted it.
"Mother, will you still play with us for a while?" asked so, and in the bottom of my heart, I hoped that my mother would not participate.
"Don't play, my mother has to prepare something." After speaking, his eyes fell on the pillars, "You guys will eat dinner at Auntie's house, okay?" ”
The pillars were very much wanted to stay, but they were afraid that the adults in the family would not agree, so they were a little hesitant.
Seeing the children's hesitation, Bu Linglong said to Erbao: "Erbao and Sanbao, you accompany the pillar brothers home, and say that I will invite the children to dinner, and then send them back after eating." ”
Erbao, nodded, and went back with his friends, relaying his mother's words to the aunts.
Bu Linglong returned to the kitchen and took a look at the dishes, the pork belly and large intestine were taken out of the space and processed again, in addition to these two, she planned to make another fried pork slices, cold cucumber and braised eggplant.
"Linglong, are you going to invite the children to dinner?" Mrs. Lin walked into the kitchen from the house.
"It's rare that a few of them are willing to play with Erbao and them, so I invite them to have a meal, and it doesn't cost a few dollars."
"By the way, mother, I forgot to tell you, today's vegetables sold for two taels." Speaking of inviting guests to dinner, Bu Linglong remembered this incident.
"So much?" Old Lady Lin's eyes widened in disbelief.
How exactly is Linglong sold? How can it sell so much?
"Yes, those who have the eye know how to choose."
"Then why don't you buy some land to plant?" In this way, you can make a little more money.
She doesn't want to farm anymore, and she doesn't want to plant when she looks exquisite, so it's better to plant vegetables.
"I'll buy it in two days." She had to let the people in the village know that she made some money selling vegetables, so she had the money to buy land.
"Yes, you're right, be careful." Mrs. Lin echoed, "Linglong, wouldn't it be bad for you to invite the children to dinner?" She was a little worried, but she still knew the people in the village.
"Are you worried about the other kids?"
"Children don't have so many hearts, and they are afraid of the adults behind them." What can children think, adults can think more.
"Mother, people live for a lifetime, it is impossible to think about others all the time, do we have to live, besides, ten fingers are still long, we just have a clear conscience." She is not so generous, but it is because these children are willing to play with Erbao and Sanbao, and the most important thing is that Erbao and Sanbao are willing to play with them.
The age of the second and third treasures is only three years old, but they are smart, whether the children really play with them, they can clearly feel it, otherwise how can they play with them.
After listening to Bu Linglong's words, Mrs. Lin sighed: "My mother has lived for such an age, and she has not seen it as clearly as you can, and she is really going back more and more." ”
"Our children have been excluded a long time ago, and their paths will be different in the future, they don't want to take care of it, and we don't need to send them to the door. It is good for each family to live his own life. "If you have to live in the village, then you won't dare to go out in the future.
"Hopefully I'll live to that time." The old lady said with some sadness.
"Don't worry, you will live until they start a family and have a great-grandchild." With her, the old lady can put a hundred hearts.
"Okay, good, I like this, I will try to live." Great-grandson, this expectation makes her full of motivation. "Is there anything I can help with?"
"No, I can do it myself, if you're tired, rest for a while, don't keep your head down and do needlework, I didn't buy those fabrics and come back to let you hold them in your hands." After buying cloth a few times, the old lady has been making clothes, and now she is already preparing cotton clothes for winter.
She wanted to say that there were still many months until winter, but the words came to her lips and she took them back, and she could only remind her not to make clothes all the time and rest more.
"I have rest, don't worry." Old Mrs. Lin didn't dare to look directly into Bu Linglong's eyes, and said with a flickering look in her eyes.
"Okay. Mother, I'll pick up Dabao first, and when the children come, you ask them to wait in the house for a while, and I'll be back soon. "Everything is almost ready, take Dabao back and fry it and serve it on the table."
"Then you slow down, don't rush." Old Mrs. Lin admonished.
"You go in, I'm leaving."
Not long after Bu Linglong left, Erbao and the others came back, and Old Lady Lin sat under the eaves and saw that they were holding things more or less in their hands, "Erbao, where did these things come from?" ”
"Uncles and aunts." As he spoke, he handed the vegetables and eggs to the old lady, "Milk, where is my mother?" ”
"I'm going to pick up Dabao." After taking the things, the old lady put them in the kitchen.
"yes, how did I forget about it."
"Erbao, where did Dabao go?" They hadn't seen Dabao for days.
"Shhh
"To the academy?"
"Wow, Auntie is so nice to you. Second treasure, third treasure, do you also want to go to school in the future? "Studying, it's so good, he also wants to go, but the family has no money, and studying is very expensive.
"Go, my mother said, we're all going." Speaking of which, Erbao is very proud, except for the patriarch's brother Huzi who is studying, there is only the eldest brother in the village.
"Wow, do you know how to read now?" Zhuzi looked at Erbao and Sanbao enviously and said.
"My brother learned from the Master, and he will teach us when he comes back." He doesn't learn as fast as the Three Jewels, and the Three Jewels learn everything as fast.
"Erbao, that ...... The ......" pillar scratched his head a little shyly, and was stunned not to fully explain his words.
"Brother Zhuzi, what do you want to say?" Erbao turned his head to look at him, why did Brother Zhuzi stutter when he spoke.
"I just wanted to say, can you teach me?" After saying that, Zhu Zi was afraid that Erbao would reject him, and looked down at the dirt floor.
"Yes. But this is a secret, you come to my house every day to learn, and you can't say anything when you go back, can you do it. Before Erbao could speak, Sanbao agreed, but he had conditions.
"No problem, no problem." He is already old, he already understands some things, not everyone can study, if he says it, there will definitely be people who will be sour.
"Okay, let's start tomorrow."
The old lady didn't stop it, just like Linglong said, there is no need to worry about other people's things all the time, look, Sanbao can handle things well, she should also change it.
After picking up Dabao and entering the kitchen, Bu Linglong found at a glance that there were more vegetables and eggs on the ground.
"Mother, these are brought by the children." It seems that the families of these children are quite good at behaving, which is a matter of attitude, not the value of things.
"Yes."
"Okay, I'll add one more dish." When they go back in the evening, let them bring some hard-boiled eggs back, no one is rich, and eggs are already considered a luxury in the village.
After Dabao came back, he joined the children's games, and everyone had a great time.
