Grandpa Tie Niu is still the same as usual, and when he has nothing to do, he goes hunting in the mountains.

But Qiao Jiarong found that Grandpa Tie Niu only hunted some small animals, such as pheasants, hares and so on. I've never seen him hit any big prey, and I don't know if he can't hit it or doesn't want to do it?

No matter what reason Grandpa Tie Niu only hits small animals, it will not affect her life-saving grace in her previous life.

There are still a few days to harvest rice, maybe I can help Grandpa Tie Niu cook a meal, sweep the ground or something. After all, when the farm is busy, everyone is busy harvesting, and there is definitely no time to clean up the house.

Grandpa Tie Niu is alone, and he has no time to do these chores.

However, Grandpa Tie Niu has not saved himself in this life, and he may not accept it. Or, pretend to be pitiful first to win the sympathy of Grandpa Tie Niu? And then step by step into the interior?

You can give it a try, and if that doesn't work, think of something else.

Early the next morning, Qiao Jiarong changed the robe into the tattered and short appearance of before.

Then, messed up his hair and ran to Qiao Tieniu's house. When he came to the thatched hut where Qiao Tieniu lived, Qiao Tieniu was closing the door and preparing to go hunting in the mountains.

In these years, the family is not rich, and they usually eat their own vegetables. Only a few people are able to eat meat on a regular basis, but only occasionally.

For example, when the farm is busy, those who are in good condition will buy some meat at this time to supplement the labor force at home.

Qiao Tieniu is actually not bad for money, and he didn't use the settling-in allowance he gave when he was discharged from the army. I usually don't buy clothes and meat at all, and for so many years I have worn the old military uniform when I was discharged from the army.

The grain and vegetables are all homegrown, and if you want to eat meat, you can go to the mountains to hunt some game, and you don't need to spend money at all.

The money he now has is more than enough to build a big house, but he doesn't want to, he feels that it is a waste of money.

Qiao Tieniu thinks that he is a one-armed bad old man. What do you do in such a nice house? That's not enjoying life, it's just going to get you into trouble.

After Qiao Tieniu closed the door, he turned around and saw Qiao Jiarong, who was dressed in tatters, hiding behind a tree and secretly looking at him.

He knew this child, and he was the unfavored granddaughter of Qiao's fourth family.

I heard that this child is not doing well in Qiao Laosi's house. But this has nothing to do with him, so let's come back while I'm not busy these days! After it dries, it is kept for farming and New Year's holidays.

Qiao Tieniu glanced at Qiao Jiarong, and then walked towards the back mountain with the tools used to dig the trap.

Qiao Jiarong saw Qiao Tieniu leaving, and she was not discouraged. Instead, she stayed where she was and waited, believing that as long as she persisted, she would definitely be able to win the sympathy of Grandpa Tie Niu.

As long as Grandpa Tie Niu sympathizes with her, she can come over often in the future.

After a long time, Grandpa Tie Niu will not drive her away after getting used to it.

Qiao Jiarong sat in front of Qiao Tieniu's house and waited, while using small stones to deduce the formation there. Others won't be surprised to see it, they will only think that she is playing with stones.

Qiao Jiarong calculated the formation in front of Qiao Tieniu's house for most of the day, and waited until the evening when Qiao Tieniu came back from the mountain, carrying two hares and a pheasant in his hands.

Seeing that Qiao Jiarong was still sitting at the door, Qiao Tieniu stepped forward and asked, "Little girl, why don't you go home so late?" ”

Qiao Jiarong deliberately pretended to look at Qiao Tieniu with a pitiful look, and after a while, he whispered, "Don't dare to go home." ”

"Don't dare to go home? Why? Qiao Tieniu asked puzzled.

"Grandma is going to beat me to death."

After listening to Qiao Jiarong's words, Qiao Tieniu didn't ask again. He knew that the child was not doing well at home, but there was nothing he could do. If he intervenes, it will only make the child's life more difficult.

But it's okay to give your child something to eat.

So, Qiao Tieniu said to Qiao Jiarong: "Then you eat at Grandpa's place first, and then send you home when you are asleep at home, so that you won't be beaten." ”

Not necessarily, in a previous life. No matter how late she came home, she couldn't escape the beating. Qiao Jiarong lowered his head and thought in his heart.

However, Qiao Jiarong didn't plan to tell Qiao Tieniu about this. She came to repay Grandpa Tie Niu, but she didn't come to make trouble for him.

Qiao Jiarong followed Qiao Tieniu into his thatched house.

The thatched huts are very simple, with only two rooms. The outside one serves as a kitchen, and the inside one serves as a bedroom.

After entering the house, Qiao Tieniu put down his things and said to Qiao Jiarong: "You wait here first, I'll go and kill this pheasant." Let's eat pheasant roasted potatoes at night in a while. ”

"Okay, Grandpa Iron Bull!" Qiao Jiarong responded obediently.

Qiao Tieniu's weather-covered face showed a kind smile, and he went to the house to get two candies and put them in Qiao Jiarong's hand. Then, he went out with a pheasant and a knife.

Qiao Jiarong didn't eat the two pieces of candy, she put the candy in her pocket, and then went out to watch Qiao Tieniu kill the chicken.

Seeing Qiao Jiarong coming, Qiao Tieniu hurriedly changed direction and said, "Little girl, don't come here, be careful of this chicken blood splashing on you." ”

Listening to Qiao Tieniu's words, Qiao Jiarong didn't lean over again, just stood there quietly.

Qiao Tieniu was caught because of his perennial hunting, and he killed chickens. It didn't take much effort to clean up a pheasant, wash it twice in a basin, and then take it to the kitchen to stew.

Qiao Tieniu chopped a lot of firewood when he was fine, and he usually kept it for stew or when the weather was bad.

Put the firewood into the stove and start to stew the chicken, Qiao Tieniu took advantage of the stewed chicken to start washing rice and cooking.

Then I took some potatoes and washed them, the potatoes were grown in the family and were not big. Therefore, Qiao Tieniu took a lot. Don't peel the skin, just rinse the mud on the outside.

Because the potatoes are small, Qiao Tieniu only picks some big ones and cuts them twice with a knife, and puts the rest directly into the pot to cook.

Qiao Jiarong watched Grandpa Tie Niu busy, and he didn't find a chance to help. Originally, she thought she could help light the fire. I didn't expect Grandpa Tie Niu to burn firewood directly, and he didn't need anyone to burn the fire at all.

Qiao Jiarong was a little reluctant in her heart, she was originally here to help. As a result, it didn't help.

Grandpa Tie Niu not only ate the pheasants he had worked so hard to get, but also used the firewood that he had kept for the winter. Now, Grandpa Tie Niu is going up the mountain again to chop firewood and hunt in the wild.

During dinner, Qiao Jiarong was a little absent-minded, thinking about how to help Grandpa Tie Niu?

Qiao Tieniu, who was sitting opposite her, saw that she was in a daze, knocked on the table and said, "Eat quickly!" I'll take you home when you're done. ”

"No need for Grandpa Tie Niu, I can go back myself." Qiao Jiarong hurriedly refused.

You can't trouble Grandpa Tie Niu anymore, and you should find another way to repay your kindness! Qiao Jiarong thought as he ate.

After eating, Qiao Jiarong didn't wait for Qiao Tieniu to speak. Hurriedly got up to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, Grandpa Tie Niu has been busy for a day, let's do these little things by myself!

Seeing Qiao Jiarong put the bowl away, Qiao Tieniu didn't say anything.

In the countryside, it is normal for small children to wash dishes and clothes. After Qiao Jiarong finished washing the dishes and chopsticks, Qiao Tieniu took out his watch and looked at the time, and found that it was only past eight o'clock.

It's still early, and Qiao Laosi and they must not have slept at this time. If you send her back so early, will the child be beaten?
