Sibao looked in the direction of the pond for a moment, and then nodded slowly: "Let's talk to our father." ”

The advantage of going to the field with He Lao Da and He Lao San is that the two of them are very tolerant of children, and if you propose to play for a while or take a break, they will definitely agree immediately.

He Zao and his party happily went up the mountain, He Chun'er took a sickle, and when she encountered the wild sour jujube trees growing tall, she would hook them down and let a few people pick them up.

This time, it was like a spring outing, they had a great time, and on the way back, they were elated one by one.

He Zao was not ready to follow He Laosan to the old house, so he waved at He Laosan at the entrance of the village: "Dad, let's go back first, you can take all these blocking sisters." ”

He Laosan was a little puzzled: "Why don't you go to play together?" ”

Sibao shook his head: "No, Dad, let's go back and help my mother cook." ”

He Laosan let out an "oh", glanced at the four sisters and brothers, turned around and walked forward, his expression was not as happy as before.

He Chun'er was also a little hesitant: "Milk is good to me, wouldn't it be too ungrateful if I didn't go all the time......?"

He Zao waved his hand and said casually: "When you want to play, why do you have to go at lunchtime, wouldn't it make the eldest lady and our grandmother misunderstand, thinking that we are going to eat." ”

In fact, even if it was her own son He Laosan, Mrs. He didn't want him to stay in the old house for dinner. An adult can eat a lot for lunch.

He Chun'er thought of Mrs. He's character, and the guilt on her face disappeared a little.

But what none of them expected was that as soon as they got home, before He Zao had time to change his clothes, Da Yang ran over panting and shouted to Chen: "Third aunt, my grandmother asked Zao'er to go over for dinner, and there was a fish stew at home, let Zao'er go eat fish." ”

The He family was very surprised.

He Zao even suspected that the sun was coming out of the west today.

Chen was also stunned: "The meals in this house are all ready." ”

Dayang went to pull He Zao's arm: "Zao'er, our grandmother is waiting for you, I know that you like to eat stewed potatoes, so I specially made fishy soup for you to stew potatoes to eat." Don't let us wait for a long time. ”

Sibao frowned slightly: "Milk let Zao'er go alone?" ”

Facing the eyes of the four children in the third room, Dayang was a little embarrassed, and his voice was lower: "Milk just said let me call Zao'er ......"

The meaning is obvious, others should not follow the rice without interest.

He Zao rolled his eyes, and just wanted to refuse, Chen said: "Then you can go early, the elders call you." ”

He thought about it for a while, so he should come down, quickly change his clothes, and followed Dayang to the old house.

On the way, she inquired curiously about Ohio, but the latter was tight-mouthed and didn't leak any information to her.

I haven't been to the old house for many days, and when I entered the yard, He Zao was almost unrecognizable.

In the green brick compound, a large layer of oilcloth was spread on the ground, and the sorghum stalks cut from the ground were covered with sun, and in a few wooden barrels, the thin and straight sorghum stalks were inserted all over the board, and even the fingers could not reach into them.

He Zao was a little surprised, there were so many sorghum stalks in the old house, why did Mrs. He let them all go to the ground to cut them today?

When Old Man He saw her, he greeted her very warmly into the house: "It's early, come early, it's hot outside, come to the house for a while." ”

Old man He, in fact, outside, treats several grandchildren equally, and is a very kind elder.

He Zao entered the house with a smile and called someone: "Grandpa, grandma." ”

Ma and He Xia'er, Forsythia in the kitchen cooking, when the people in the third room moved out, all the work in the old house fell on Ma's, of course she was dissatisfied, I heard that after a few quarrels, Mrs. He would occasionally help, but He Tangerine refused to touch it at all, and Forsythia was no longer idle, even if he just came back from the ground, he had to go into the kitchen to help immediately.

She once secretly told He Zao that she followed them up the mountain to circumambulate the scorpions, on the one hand, to earn money, and on the other hand, to escape the work of the family—like most people who love to dress up, she is not keen on housework.

When she said these words to He Zao, with the child's unique innocence and pride, He Zao didn't know what to say at that time.

If the Chen family was left in the old mansion and had to shoulder so much work every day, He Zao believed that none of the four of them would escape, and they would take the initiative to help.

It's really a question of responsibility.

The He family is very poor, but Forsythia grew up in the spiritual doting of Ma and Boss He, and he has not yet had a deep understanding of responsibility.

Mrs. He's attitude towards He Zao was unexpectedly kind, but her temperament was destined to be kind, and she just didn't scold, she glanced at He Zao, and said directly: "You don't like to eat stewed potatoes, I asked your eldest lady to stew some fishy soup for you, and I'll give you one to eat later." ”

This is what she means to express closeness.

He Zao looked at her with some vigilance, not knowing what her purpose was for suddenly being so special to her.

He Laosan looked up at her nervously, trying to show a smile, but without much success.

He Tangerine squinted at He Zao, as if she was measuring something.

He Zao simply sat on the edge of the kang and said with a smile: "Master and grandma look more energetic and older, and they have become whiter." ”

Everyone loves to listen to good words, and Old Man He couldn't help laughing: "You ghost girl." ”

He Zao blinked his eyes and looked at Mrs. He: "My grandmother is really good to me now, I still remember that I love to eat stewed potatoes, I like to eat stewed chicken soup the most, rotten, soft, like eating meat, it melted before it was chewed twice, and it flowed directly down my throat and eyes......"

As she spoke, she felt like she was going to drool.

And Sanbao, who was pouting and accompanying Wubao to dig at the door, had already run in and snorted: "Milk, I want to eat stewed potatoes, I want to eat stewed potatoes......"

Except for eating, the Three Treasures have never said anything so neatly.

So Ma has said more than once that he is a "foodie!" ”

Mrs. He impatiently asked Wubao to take him out, and she had no patience to hide it anymore, and said directly to He Zao: "Zao'er, I heard your father say that you are going to the county seat this time?" ”

He Zao had actually guessed this, so he wasn't too surprised, and only smiled slightly: "Yes, I want to take a look." ”

"That's Zhongli, I have a good cook, a broom or something in my house, you can take it to the county seat and sell it, I heard your aunt say that the county town is more expensive, and the people in the city are expensive, and there are few people who can do this."

Mrs. He's craftsmanship is not bad, but her words are too taken for granted.

He Zao squinted his eyes to look at He Laosan, who rubbed his hands and looked very embarrassed and uneasy: "Zao'er, this is all a smooth thing......"

After pickling Songhua eggs, He had already decided to go to the county seat to look for a store to cooperate with in the future.

These plans, she and her family have spoken.

But unexpectedly, He Laosan turned his head and told the old house.

She frowned slightly, intellectually she could understand He Laosan's approach, but emotionally she was a little unacceptable.

He Laosan's behavior is, in her opinion, a betrayal of Sanfang.
