12. Does she like Xiao He?
Xiao He frowned, and looked at the uncle's face curiously.
"Can you still guess that you will have a boy or a girl if you sell a sugar gourd?"
The uncle smiled mysteriously and stretched out two fingers, "It's still two girls!" Am I guessing right? ”
In these years, most of the people who buy sugar gourds are for their daughters, because my daughter's mouth is sweet, and her father is soft and glutinous, I want to eat sugar gourds.
If you are a father, you can't bear not to buy it.
It's the son, if you shout that your dad wants to eat sugar gourd, you will basically get a sentence, it's something that only girls eat, and it's useless!
Then he was hurriedly pulled away by his parents.
He has seen this kind of thing I don't know how many times, and it has become a kind of law.
Xiao He bought two of them this time, aren't they two daughters?
Xiao He smiled happily, "You guessed wrong this time, I bought it for my daughter-in-law and daughter, so it's just the two of you!" ”
Hearing that it was bought for his daughter-in-law, the old man's eyes immediately showed a hint of appreciation.
followed Xiao He and gave a thumbs up, "Yes, I love my daughter-in-law!" ”
These days, it's not easy to make money.
Mothers are reluctant to buy sugar gourds for themselves to eat, let alone their husbands.
On the surface, they all say that eating this thing is greedy, but in fact, in their hearts, they still think that they can save a dime.
Uncle has been selling sugar gourds for so long, and he is the first one he has met who is willing to buy sugar gourds for his daughter-in-law to eat.
He took out two of the stacks of kraft paper bags in the basket and took out two of them and handed them to Xiao He slowly.
"Take this and put it on."
Don't look at this little bag, a penny, it's not a long way, and the uncle is generally reluctant not to give it.
I heard him take it back, so I was willing to take it out.
Xiao He thanked him, packed the two sugar gourds one by one, and then set off in the direction of the station.
......
Today the sun is just right, and the warm sunlight is sprinkled in the yard, which is comfortable and comfortable.
Ding Wanqing was sitting in the yard washing the children's clothes at this time, and when she looked up, she saw Xiao He walking in from outside the yard with a bamboo basket on his back.
Smiling, it looks like he's in a good mood.
He He was holding a slingshot to the sky and pretending to shoot birds, and the little guy squinted his eyes and looked focused.
Seeing his father come back, he excitedly threw the slingshot in his hand and threw it towards Xiao He.
Holding his legs with both hands, his little head was raised, and he said coquettishly: "Dad, He He misses you so much." ”
The milky voice in the little guy's grandmother, and the happiness in her eyes seemed to have a kind of magic, which made Xiao He's tired body instantly relax a lot.
He smiled with a pampering face. "He He, what did Dad bring you?"
After Xiao He finished speaking, he unloaded the bamboo basket on his back, took out a sugar gourd from it, opened the kraft paper on it, and handed it to He He.
The tone was very gentle, "Is this okay for us to eat?" ”
The sugar gourds in front of him are full and red, and there is a little crystal clear feeling in the sun.
He He stared at the sugar gourd, his black eyes full of joy.
She licked her lips, "Dad, can you only eat one a day?" ”
Brother Xiaohai next door also bought a sugar gourd last time, and Aunt Meizi asked him to eat one a day.
Every time he took out one, he ate it carefully.
But Hehe is hungry.
I didn't expect my father to sell it to me today, she was really happy!
Looking at his daughter's innocent appearance, Xiao He was a little sad.
He pursed his lips and reached out to touch He He's little head gently.
"Of course you can, in the future, Dad will often buy sugar gourds for He He to eat."
With his father's permission, He He licked his lips, and then couldn't wait to take a bite on the rock sugar gourd, and in an instant, there was indescribable satisfaction on his immature little face.
She smiled at Xiao He's teeth, "The sugar gourd is so sweet, Dad is so good!" ”
The warm scene in front of him made Ding Wanqing, who was sitting in the yard washing clothes, pause.
The expression on his face changed from surprise at first to relief later.
Xiao He is good to children, and when he is a mother, he is naturally happy.
At this moment, Xiao He took another string of sugar gourds and turned his head to look at Ding Wanqing.
Looking at each other, Ding Wanqing's eyelids jumped.
Oops, peeking was discovered.
She hurriedly lowered her head and continued to scrub her clothes.
Xiao He strode up to her with a rock sugar gourd, and then grinned and showed a bright smile.
"Here's for you."
Ding Wanqing raised her head sharply.
A few handfuls of broken hair fell inadvertently, black and shiny.
Seeing the things in Xiao He's hand clearly, there was indescribable surprise in her beautiful apricot eyes.
The man in front of him was looking at him with a smile on his face.
She blinked, her expression slightly unnatural.
"It's ...... For me? ”
In these years, sugar gourds cost five cents each.
The last time I ate it, it was on the day of the college entrance examination, and my father bought it for me.
Unexpectedly, today, Xiao He actually bought sugar gourds for himself to eat?
Xiao He grinned, stretched out his hand and handed the sugar gourd to Ding Wanqing, "Eat quickly, it's hot now, and if it is saccharified for a while, it won't be sweet." ”
Over the years, she has long been accustomed to his indifference, so that in the face of this sudden tenderness, she is a little unsure of what to do.
She stretched out her wet hand, pulled the broken hair on her forehead behind her ear, and said with a hint of imperceptible embarrassment in her tone, "Children love to eat, let's leave it to He He." ”
In four years, a person has changed a lot, and the little princess who was once in the eyes of her parents has now become a mature and stable mother.
Her heart is full of her own children.
Xiao He saw that she didn't want it, and his tone was gentle as if he was coaxing He He.
"Eat, you just said it, children love to eat."
Ding Wanqing's eyelids jumped, and she subconsciously looked at his face.
What is he saying?
Who are the little ones?
Seeing her raising her head to look at herself, Xiao He simply handed the rock sugar gourd directly to her lips.
Under the bright sunshine, the young man smiled cleanly and warmly, and there was a hint of ridicule in his tone, "Eat quickly, can't I have two children?" ”
Ding Wanqing's heartbeat was uncontrollably faster.
For a moment, it was like going back to high school.
The boy with the basketball, sweating in the sun, smiled wanton and clean.
That's her favorite smile.
She frantically withdrew her hand from the basin.
A beautiful goose egg face is slightly red, looking more delicate in the sunlight, and the black and thick eyelashes are curled up in a beautiful arc, like a starry apricot eyes with a little panic.
She quickly took the rock sugar gourd in Xiao He's hand.
The voice is soft and waxy.
"I, I'll do it myself."
Ding Wanqing in front of him was like a little elk who was afraid of life, and Xiao He couldn't help but tremble lightly when he saw it.
Such a good-looking daughter-in-law, why didn't she cherish it in her previous life!
He looked down at the clothes in the big basin, "I'll wash it, you two will go eat sugar gourds together." ”
Seeing that his mother also had a rock sugar gourd, He He smiled even more happily, "Mom, the rock sugar gourd is sweet, you can eat it quickly." ”
The April sun is warm but not scorching, He He is wearing pigtails, and his face is indescribably happy.
Xiao He sat on the bench and scrubbed his clothes seriously.
Looking at everything in front of her, Ding Wanqing couldn't help but clutch the sugar gourd in her hand.
She didn't know.
Is this a beautiful dream, or a new beginning?
Ding Wanqing licked her lips and took a small bite on the rock sugar gourd.
In an instant, the sweet and sour taste permeates the entire mouth, and it is really delicious.
He He saw his mother eating it and smiled happily. , followed by a big bite on his sugar gourd, "Mom, He He likes Dad so much." ”
After speaking, he tilted his head to look at her again, "Mom, do you like Dad?" ”
Ding Wanqing was a little at a loss, she never thought that her daughter would ask such a question.
She subconsciously clenched the sugar gourd in her hand.
She...... Like Xiao He?
