Shen Su'e was packing up her things in the house, and when she learned that Lingbao wanted to go to the bamboo forest to play, she put the folded clothes on the bed and said, "Not today, I have to take Lingbao to meet her third and fourth uncles later." ”

"Oh, yes," her sister-in-law Zhao Cuilan nodded, "I have to go to the two brothers-in-law's house to have a look." ”

Shen Su'e pulled Xiao Lingbao to her side, "Tomorrow, right?" Tomorrow, my mother will accompany Lingbao to dig winter bamboo shoots, okay? ”

The milk doll nodded, "Well, Lingbao listens to her mother." ”

After that, she went to her third and fourth uncle's house with her mother and Tugen, met all the relatives, and greeted everyone.

When she got home, it was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and Lingbao saw two girls, Dele and Dehuan, who were sweeping the pigsty with brooms, and their bodies were dirty.

"Mother, Lingbao wants to play with them." Xiao Lingbao said.

"They're working, don't bother them."

After saying this, Shen Su'e sighed, thinking that Dele was the granddaughter of the eldest brother and sister-in-law, not her own granddaughter, although she felt that it was pitiful for them to do so much farm work at a young age, but it was not good to say anything.

"Grandma, why do they have to do so much?" Tugen didn't understand, "Dehuan doesn't look a few years older than me, I guess I'm about the same age as my brother, and my brother never has to work." ”

His grandmother pinched his face, "That's because your father and mother spoil you, and many children of your age have already helped their father and mother work." ”

"Grandma spoiled me, and grandma didn't let me work." Tugen said.

Shen Su'e was amused by her grandson's words, "Yes, I love you too." ”

"Haha, my life is so good! Although my brother was not very good to me, my parents, grandparents, and aunts were all good to me. ”

When Tugen was talking with a smile, Lingbao looked at the big bags on the table, thought of the biscuits and candy inside, and asked her mother, "Mother, can Lingbao give Dele and Dehuan a few biscuits?" ”

"Why?"

"Because Lingbao originally promised them to take them to play in the bamboo forest, but it didn't work out today." The female doll said apologetically.

Her mother touched her head, "Lingbao is not to blame for this matter, my mother didn't agree to you going, but I will take you and Dele and Dehuan with me tomorrow." ”

After speaking, seeing that Xiao Lingbao's eyes were still on the table, she opened the oiled paper bag containing the biscuits, counted ten biscuits, and handed them to the baby girl.

"Give it to them, five pieces each."

"Wow, you gave them so much?" Tugen swallowed greedily, "Grandma, can I eat a piece too?" Just one piece. ”

"You little glutton!" Laughing and scolding, Shen Su'e took out a biscuit again and handed it to her grandson, "Here, take it and eat it, just say it's a piece of it, don't finish eating it and say you want to eat it." ”

"No, I said to eat a piece is to eat a piece." Tugen stuffed the biscuits whole into his mouth and chewed them with a "click".

Seeing that he couldn't help but squint his eyes and look happy and satisfied, Shen Su'e asked the little Lingbao on the side, "Lingbao, how many cookies do you want to eat?" ”

The milk doll thought for a while, "A piece, I am thirsty after eating too many biscuits, and I don't want to eat dinner, Lingbao likes to eat things cooked by my mother more." ”

Shen Su'e felt that her whole heart was soft, the corners of her lips rose, her eyes were crooked, and her eyes were full of love for her daughter, "Okay, then Lingbao will also eat a piece, na, here you go." ”

Lingbao took the biscuits, saw that his mother had refolded the oil paper wrapped in the biscuits, and hurriedly asked, "Why don't you eat it?" The cookies are delicious! ”

"My mother is an adult, and adults don't like to eat these sweets." Shen Su'e said.

"Why? Eating sweet things can make people happier," Lingbao finished speaking, looked at the few biscuits left in the oiled paper bag, and guessed, "Does my mother think that the biscuits are almost gone, and she is reluctant to eat them?" ”

"Huh? Actually, it's not ......."

Seeing that her mother's eyes were dodging, Xiao Lingbao felt that she had guessed correctly, and comforted her mother and said: "Mother, don't worry, there will be biscuits after eating, and the gods will send Lingbao delicious, maybe you will never finish eating." ”

Hearing her say the word "immortal", Shen Su'e hurriedly made a gesture of "shhh", "In my uncle's house, try not to say anything about immortals, so as not to be heard by others, you know?" ”

After explaining to her daughter, she immediately said to Tugen: "Tugen, you also have to remember grandma's words, you can't tell others that the gods will send food to your aunt, otherwise everyone will arrest your aunt." ”

Tugen, who had just finished eating the biscuits, nodded hurriedly, "Dad also told me, don't let me tell others, grandma, don't worry, I won't say it." ”

"If someone asks you, how did we get these cookies, what do you say?" Shen Su'e furrowed her brows slightly, and asked with a serious face.

"The second uncle gave it to grandma!" Tsuchigen replied.

"Your dad told you to say that?"

"Yes, my father said that the second uncle is from a pastry factory, even if he sends cookies, others will not suspect it, and the second uncle also told Fugui that."

After listening to Tugen, Shen Su'e quickly thought for a while, "I can't say that now, your uncle and master all know that I don't deal with your second uncle, and it is impossible for him to send me cookies, so I have to say it differently." ”

"What do you mean?" Tsuchigen asked curiously.

You just say...... Just say that it was sent by a relative on your uncle's grandmother's side, and then your uncle gave your grandfather a pack of biscuits, understand? ”

Tugen's mind was a little overwhelmed, "Grandma give ...... uncle"

Xiao Lingbao said with a smile: "When we were in our village, if we wanted to say that it was sent by relatives on my mother's side, when I arrived in my mother's village, I said that it was sent by my father's relatives." ”

"Yes, yes, Lingbao, you are so smart, that's what my mother meant, because the two villages are far away and have no contact with each other, so that they won't show their stuffing."

After that, when Dele and Dehuan had cleaned up the pigsty, Tugen ran mysteriously to them and whispered, "My aunt likes you and wants to give you something delicious, come with me!" ”

"Auntie?" Dele asked, "Who is your aunt?" Is it our aunt and grandmother? ”

"No, your aunt is my grandmother, and my aunt is my grandmother's daughter, and it's your ......"

Tugen scratched his head, "Who is it from you?" ”

When he was still wondering, Dele was surprised: "I didn't expect that little sister to be the daughter of my aunt and grandmother, so isn't she our cousin?" ”

Her sister tilted her little head, "Cousin? ”

"Yes, she's younger than you, but she's older than both of us."

At this point, she said to Tugen, "Then I will call her cousin, and I will call you cousin, right?" ”

"Cousin? So you're all my cousins? ”

"Yes, yes, both of us are your cousins."

After the children recognized each other's relatives, Tugen thought about what his aunt had explained, and hurriedly said, "Come with me to find your aunt." ”
