Chapter 249: Not Welcome
Shippo covered her mouth and giggled.
The books that Chen Xiucai held in his hand were all half-new and not old, and it could be seen that they were often turned, but the pages inside were as clean as promised, and even the black marks could not be seen.
Moreover, he read the book for a long time, and when he came back, he still read the same page as when they went in the morning.
He Zao only gave four words to evaluate: "Pretend!" β
Qibao nodded his head like a rattle: "It's miles, it's miles, fake reading!" β
Sibao coughed lightly.
He Zao and Sibao followed his gaze to see Chen, who hung his head and looked empty, not knowing what he was looking at.
He Zao and Qibao glanced at each other and remained silent.
This time the relatives are not happy, back home, everyone is not interested, because the Mid-Autumn Festival, the persimmon workshop and the Songhua egg workshop are a day off, He Zao has nothing to do and began to do needlework, now she has been able to skillfully patch the clothes, and He Chun'er, can already make a complete set of clothes, and she can also embroider very beautiful and delicate flowers.
Because of the persimmon candy eaten at noon, her younger siblings like to eat it, so she plans to fry some at home in the evening, and then goes to the backyard house to pick up some baked persimmons.
Because of the persimmon cake, the He family originally collected a lot of raw persimmons, and with the change of time, more and more red persimmons were baked, and they were picked out separately and put together, these baked persimmons can be stored until the winter New Year, even if the outer skin has shrunk and dried by then, but the inside is sweet and greasy black and red persimmon pulp, which is called "frozen persimmon".
Chan also went to help.
He Laosan used delicate willow branches to weave small baskets as a backup.
The Four Treasures and Seven Treasures went to the study to study, and on the Mid-Autumn Festival, the private school also had a day off.
When they first came, they passed by the front of the street in the old house and saw that Aunt He had not left yet.
Because of the unpleasant quarrel with her, the people in the third room are not ready to go over now.
In the evening, the family cleaned up, took moon cakes and a bowl of freshly fried persimmon candy to the old house.
Aunt He left just now, and the old couple had a glowing face, looking extremely happy.
But what is embarrassing is that He Zao and they entered the upper room, only to find that the second room did not leave, and they were eating with Mrs. He and Old Man He affectionately, and the people in the big room and the fourth room were also sitting in it.
When the people in the third room entered the house, the atmosphere of the old house stiffened.
Old man He's face was a little embarrassed, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, it stands to reason that he should invite his third son's family to have a reunion dinner together, and then enjoy the moon together.
However, the second child said that the third child probably hadn't returned from Huhu Village yet, so he didn't force it.
ββ¦β¦ The third child, are you back? Thinking that you haven't come back yet, I didn't call you, but they're all here! Old man He greeted him with a thick old skin.
Mrs. He also seemed to think that it was a bit too much to leave the three rooms for a reunion dinner during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so she coughed lightly and said fiercely: "If you come, sit down and eat, and wait for someone to invite you to a seat!" β
After speaking, he took a big sip of soup and made a loud smashing sound.
This is probably the friendliest attitude she can make towards the third room.
But the people in the third room didn't appreciate it.
He took a step forward in the morning, and smiled with crooked eyebrows: "Yo, grandma has eaten, my family is estimated to come over in time, but I didn't expect it to be late!" β
Old Man He reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Come and sit down." β
He Laosan put the moon cake on the table: "Dad, mother, this is a few red bean fillings specially selected by her mother, which is soft and can be restrained!" Specially for your second elder to eat. β
Old Man He smiled: "I have a heart." β
Old Lady He snorted loudly.
"Dad, this is just fried today, you and my mother love to eat persimmon candy, this thing is heavy, you can't eat more, it doesn't matter if you eat two more on the first day, go back to my house and get it again after eating, Chun'er and I fried a lot."
"Ambiguous, people are old, what they eat is not fragrant, and they can't bite anymore, just this persimmon candy is still a rarity, and your mother loves to eat it!" Master He smiled so much that the wrinkles on his face were wrinkled into a chrysanthemum.
He Zao smiled and picked up the conversation: "Master, if you like to eat, catch Ming'er's order, and my family will immediately send baked persimmons, and let my eldest mother and sister-in-law fry them for you." β
"I was a filial girl in the early days." Old Man He's eyebrows and eyes were all stretched, obviously very happy to be flattered by He Zao.
He Lao Er, who was sitting next to Old Man He, was still uncomfortable when he saw the third room, so he snorted lightly and turned his head.
Liu and his two daughters also bowed their heads, as if they didn't see the third room.
Instead, Liubao got down from his seat, ran to Qibao's side, and pulled his arm: "Qibao, why do you always play with Fifth Brother, what about me?" I'll come to you in the future! β
He is the same age as Wubao Qibao, and was raised by the Liu family to be delicate and naΓ―ve, this time I came back and listened to Wubao boast of going to school with Qibao and the two of them, going to the persimmon workshop, what to do, I feel that compared with myself, their life is too cool and crooked, and I am very envious!
Liu Shi frowned first: "You are still reading, how can you come back every day!" β
"Then can't I go home and read?" Liubao was very aggrieved.
He Lao Er was so angry that his beard trembled.
He refused to take over the private school in the village, insisted on going to the town, and was already ridiculed by the villagers as ungrateful, and now he doesn't even go to his own private school to go to school, so what will outsiders scold like!
His face sank: "Come back and sit, what are you doing!" β
He also learned the way of Confucius and Mencius, believing in the maxim of "holding a grandson but not a son", and has always been strict with his son.
Liubao was timid, so he had to hang his little head when he saw this, and sat back in a daze.
Old Man He said for the third time: "Don't stand stupidly, sit down." β
Half of the He family's banquet has been eaten, and half of the chicken and fish on the table have been gnawed.
He Zao glanced at He Chun'er and Sibao, and then looked at He Laosan.
He Laosan was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "No, let her mother go back a few times, we can't sit down at this table, there are still Songhua eggs to watch at home, and we can't leave people often!" I'll have a drink with my father. β
He Lao Er sent a good sorghum wine, and he poured a small half cup in front of Old Man He.
Hearing his words, Old Man He was slightly surprised: "The third child, how can you go back, all sit, all come to the table to eat, the third daughter-in-law, you quickly take Chun'er and Zao'er to your mother's table to sit, the third child, you, Sibao, and Qibao come to my table, and our family will have a good time!" β
He Laosan kept his head and didn't speak.
Old Man He's eyes glared: "What's the matter, don't you listen to your father's words?" β
Sibao raised his head, but his still childish face was fearless and firm: "Master, we and my mother will go back first, we are not here to eat this meal, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, send moon cakes to your second elder!" I wish you a long and healthy life in the future, and happiness like the East China Sea! β
He made a deep gesture: "My father is here with you, and we will go first." β
Without waiting for the other party to answer, he called one by one by name: "Mother, eldest sister, Zao'er, Qibao, let's go, don't disturb grandma to eat."
