Fragrant Spring - 324 Family

Haijiao carried the pork and took Lele to Secretary Li's house. Secretary Li was using a scraper to spread the rice collected today in the main room. The weather is so sultry. If you don't spread the rice a little, the rice will be gone in one night.

He had a fever. Maybe he was too focused on his work that he didn't notice that Haijiao had come with Lele.

Haijiao took Lele to the door of the main room and said to Lele: "This is grandpa, please scream."

Lele had seen this person in the main room, but she didn't know who he was. Lele felt very strange why this person was her grandfather. Why didn't Jian's father and mother tell her that her grandfather was here?

?Lele didn't dare to call her grandpa, so she hid behind Haijiao and stuck out half of her head.

Li Zhishu looked out and said: "Here he comes." After saying that, he put down the scraper, walked out of the grain pile, squatted next to Lele, and said kindly: "Lele, I am grandpa, please call me grandpa."

Bar."

Haijiao also pulled Lele out from behind her buttocks and said, "Scream quickly. Grandpa likes Lele very much. Please scream quickly."

Lele was pulled out and timidly called out: "Grandpa." After calling, he lowered his head, grabbed the corners of his clothes with his little hands, and fiddled with it.

Calling him "Grandpa" made Party Secretary Li heartbroken. Others as old as him had already had grandsons in their arms. It was only today that someone called him "Grandpa". Even though he was not a blood relative of his Li family, he could still make him feel happy.

He enjoyed a family life. When Li Zhishu was excited, he held Lele in his arms, kissed her little rosy face, and said, "Lele is so good."

Unexpectedly, Lele cried as soon as she reached Zhishu Li's arms. She struggled to get down. Zhishu Li put Lele down reluctantly and said, "What's wrong? Did Grandpa's beard hurt Lele?"

ah."

As soon as Lele landed on the ground, she went over and hugged Hai Jiao's thigh, looking at Li Zhishu with tearful eyes. Hai Jiao explained with some embarrassment: "Baby is still afraid of life."

Secretary Li was also a little embarrassed. He quickly said: "Children are like this. It will be fine once you get used to it."

Haijiao raised the pork in her hand and said, "Where do you put this?"

"Just put it in the stove. Your mother will pick up the vegetables and let her cook them later." Li Zhishu raised his hand and pointed to the kitchen aside. After Haijiao took a few steps, Li Zhishu seemed to think of something again.

Then he asked: "How much does pork cost?"

"No money, I told A Jian, this is to help the family, no money." Secretary Li said to your mother, that means he recognized her as his daughter-in-law, Hai Jiao was also very excited.

Secretary Li is an honest man, and since Haijiao has said so, he won’t say anything. Men are men, and they won’t be like women. They give her change even though they know she won’t ask for it, and they keep asking her for a long time. Li Zhishu didn’t

He wanted to give Haijiao money for pork, but he still went into the room to get the money. Lele called Grandpa for the first time, and he wanted to find some red paper to seal a red envelope for Lele.

After sealing the red envelope, Secretary Li walked down to the kitchen, put the ten-dollar red envelope into Lele's hand, and said: "Lele is so good, grandpa will give you a profit (in dialect, profit is a red envelope, also called a seal)"

.) Here you go, I wish you will grow up day by day, be healthy, and get the top score in your studies in the future." Li Zhishu's words were very cliche, but every word revealed his true feelings.

Lele was no longer crying, but there was still half a tear stain on her face. Apparently she had only cried once or twice. She took the red envelope, looked at her mother, and then at her grandpa. She was no longer so scared.

She thought this grandpa must be a good man, otherwise why would he give her a red envelope?

Hai Jiao pulled Lele and said, "Look how kind grandpa is to you, and you still cry when grandpa hugs you."

Lele raised her head and said childishly: "I won't cry now."

Li Zhishu and Hai Jiao laughed. Li Zhishu said: "If you don't want to cry, then play with grandpa for a while, okay?"

Lele nodded, took a step forward, and leaned against Li Zhishu.

A Jian moved away from this home entirely for Hai Jiao. Hai Jiao has always felt guilty in her heart. How to get A Jian to have a good relationship with her family and come back has always been a worry for Hai Jiao. Now that the opportunity has come, she wants to strike while the iron is hot.

, to repair the rift in the family relationship, she said: "Lele's grandma hasn't come back yet. Let me do something to help, otherwise others will come to eat soon."

Secretary Li also wanted to turn over the millet, and it would be best to have Haijiao here to help. He quickly said: "Okay, the rice vat is here, you can help cook the rice."

Haijiao said yes, then took off her sleeves and started to scrape up the leftover rice from the pot. Haijiao brought Lele here as soon as she got back to her home. She was a little anxious, so she used her sleeves while working.

I forgot to take them off at home.

Looking at Hai Jiao, who was so nimble and efficient, Secretary Li felt secretly ashamed. Apart from being divorced, Hai Jiao could not find any faults. Why did such a good woman object to her marriage to A Jian in the first place?

Secretary Li took Lele's little hand and said, "Come and sit with grandpa."

Lele was no longer afraid of the grandfather who gave her the red envelope, so she followed him to the door of the hall and sat side by side with Secretary Li under the eaves.

Secretary Li took out his old salt packet, took out the cigarette paper and rolled a Pagoda brand cigarette, put it in his mouth, licked it with his tongue, lit it, and smoked it comfortably. This scene of a grandchild wrapped around his knees

, how comfortable it was. Li Zhishu grabbed Lele’s little hand and was reluctant to let go. He asked some questions about whether Lele likes to cry at home and whether she has ever been beaten by her mother.

This is the first time for Haijiao to do housework at Secretary Li's house. She is not very familiar with where the things in Secretary Li's house are kept. She also asks Secretary Li some questions from time to time, such as where are the hatchets? Where are the pine lights?

.

Not long after, Ajian's mother came back with a basket of vegetables. Of course, these people who came to help could not eat so much vegetables. Most of the vegetables in this basket were old vegetable leaves that were fed to pigs, and only the top layer was left.

It's fresh vegetables, that's tonight

It needs to be cooked and eaten. This period of time is busy with farming, and Ajian’s mother has not had much time to take care of the vegetable garden, so there are a lot of old vegetable leaves that have not been picked back. But it doesn’t matter, if you save a little more, you can pick them back at once.

That's enough for a pig meal.

As soon as Ajian's mother entered the yard, she saw her husband and Lele sitting there happily. Her face was a little gloomy, and she didn't ask to talk to Lele. She even ignored her husband and walked into the kitchen with a basket on her back.

In the kitchen, Haijiao had already cooked rice and boiled water. She was pouring the leftover porridge into a wooden basin, mixing it with some chaff, and preparing to feed it to the chickens. She saw Ajian's mother coming back.

, quickly stop what you are doing and reach her back

Then she helped to take off the basket on her back. Haijiao said: "You're back. How many pigs do you have to carry such a heavy basket of vegetables?" Haijiao didn't dare to call her mother again. She called her once in the morning and she didn't know that Ah Jian

Mom likes it or not, so I don’t dare to scream now.

"There are still three more. We have to ask Hua Zi to kill one in a few days, otherwise the pigs and vegetables still can't keep up." Now that I'm a little older, it's really hard to put down the backpack without someone to help. A Jian

When my mother comes back from carrying pigs and vegetables, she always sits the basket on a table or a high bench first, and then slides the straps of the basket off her shoulders.

Hai Jiao said: "How about I go help carry wild bananas for two days tomorrow? Now every family is short of pig vine vegetables to feed the pigs. Everyone calls Hua Zi to kill the pigs, but he can't kill them either."

Ah Jian's mother picked out the food on the basket and said, "How can this be so embarrassing? I have troubled you all today and I still need your help. I feel really bad."

"Oh, what are you saying to be embarrassed about? Ah Jian is not your son. Ah Jian is your son. I am Ah Jian's wife. When I help you, I am helping Ah Jian." What Haijiao said was a bit strange, and she also

All we can say is that she wanted to treat herself as a member of the family, but it was not up to her to make the decision. It also had to depend on the wishes of the two old people, so she had no choice but to speak two different languages.

Ah Jian's mother also felt very awkward after hearing Hai Jiao's words, and felt a little embarrassed. Now that the pigs were growing meat, she didn't really want to kill them, so she said, "Well, let Ah Jian's father dry the millet at home tomorrow."

, you and I will carry wild bananas."

Haijiao had already mixed the chaff. She said, "Well, I'll call you tomorrow morning. I'll go feed the chickens first." After saying that, she walked to the yard with the wooden basin, banging the wooden basin and cooing.

It screamed to attract the chickens back.

Ajian's mother looked at Haijiao's back and thought of her daughter Axiang. Axiang was also so diligent at home. Alas! Why is life so unsatisfactory?

A Jian's mother also walked out of the kitchen, came to the courtyard wall, and took down a flat dustpan on the wall. Inside the flat dustpan was the dried sweet potatoes that she had taken out to dry in the morning. When A Jian's mother walked to Lele with the flat dustpan,

, bent down and asked: "Lele, do you want to eat dried sweet potatoes? They are delicious."

The children were all greedy, and the dried sweet potatoes were indeed delicious. Lele immediately stood up, opened his little pocket, and said, "I want it."

Ah Jian's mother smiled and stuffed the dried sweet potatoes into Lele's little pocket, and said kindly: "Eat it, and when you are full, ask your mother to decorate it and go back." Ah Jian's mother's face disappeared from carrying the basket when she came back.

She was so gloomy and showed a comfortable smile. She was just jealous that her husband could be so close to Lele. Everyone said

When you get old, your thinking is like that of a child. Ajian's mother is not too old yet, but in this home, she is facing her husband's old face all day long, so her thinking has entered the ranks of the elderly in advance. She even eats for Lele.
