Hua Xiao was still muttering that Li was about to come out, and as soon as he mentioned Cao Cao, Cao Cao appeared.

Li came out from one side of the main hall with a really sour face.

Seeing the two sisters sitting together washing vegetables, Li's face turned even uglier. "I've been wondering why there's all this noise in the yard. Turns out they've been dawdling for so long and haven't even washed the vegetables yet. You little bitches, you only know how to play tricks and dodge things. You lazy bones, you're so young and yet you're already doing all sorts of sneaky and cunning things!"

For some reason, Li was in a very bad mood early in the morning. She caught Hua Xiao and started scolding her, each word more unpleasant than the last.

Hua Xiao clenched her hands, which were hidden in the wooden basin, and bit her lips, trying to endure it.

But after all, she was still young, and her eyes turned red after hearing such harsh words.

Grandma only knew how to scold her, for no reason, and she scolded her for no reason...

Li cursed twice, and somehow, she glared at Hua Shi who was standing beside her, then walked back into the small kitchen.

After a while, her cursing voice was heard again from the dimly lit small kitchen, probably blaming Hua Li who had just entered.

“Pah, pah…”

Perhaps because of the criticism from Li just now, Hua Xiao was holding her breath. She used more strength in her hands to wash the vegetables, and the water in the wooden basin made a noise due to her hands splashing.

Hua Shi also knew that she was in a bad mood, so he whispered to her, "Forget it. A little impatience can ruin a big plan. A great man should not take the mistakes of a small man seriously. Don't get angry with yourself."

Hua Xiao raised his head slightly after hearing her words and glared at her fiercely. "I don't need you to tell me about this. You're just meddling in other people's business."

Although the little girl was angry, she still had the ability to speak sharply.

Hua Shi didn't bother with her. The two sisters, one big and one small, were quick and nimble and quickly washed the basin of vegetables.

Dry the leaves on a large winnowing basket, neatly arranged one by one, and placed on the low wall on the side of the firewood. They need to be exposed to the sun for a day to dry out the moisture in the leaves before they can be pickled.

After an ordinary breakfast, Li's mood was in a low mood, his face was gloomy, and he spent the dinner in silence and peace.

Li was in a hurry to go out. Hua Shi was thinking about something and felt uneasy. She couldn't sit still at home and begged Li to let her go out today.

"What are you going out for?" Li had a stern face, a basket hanging between her arms, and a frown on her face. She looked a little anxious and seemed to be in a hurry to go out.

"I'm feeling stuffy at home. I want to go out for a walk. The weather is just right now, neither too cold nor too hot. I'm afraid it will snow in a day or two, and then I'll have nowhere to go if I want to go out." Hua Shi said word by word with an obedient look on his face.

Li frowned, looked outside the courtyard wall, and nodded after a while.

Hua Shi's eyes lit up.

Li added, "Come back sooner rather than later. Don't wait till sunset and still not see anyone."

"good."

Hua Shi responded obediently.

Li frowned and wanted to say something, but she was in a hurry to go out. She said nothing more, picked up the basket, and walked out hurriedly.

Hua Xiao, who was sweeping the floor with a broom, kept glancing at Hua Shi from the corner of her eye. When she saw Li go out and walk away, she raised her voice and asked, "What are you doing out there?"

She doesn't believe in the nonsense about going out for a walk...

When Hua Shi turned her head, she saw the little girl's big eyes blinking, with a little redness in her eye circles, filled with curiosity.

She smiled, walked up to the little girl, raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, "Didn't I tell you, I'm just going out for a walk."

Hua Xiao looked her up and down, his big eyes blinking and rolling back and forth. It was unknown what he was thinking about, but his little face was full of disgust.

"You wouldn't... run out and eat again!"

She didn't ask a rhetorical question, but spoke in an affirmative tone.

Combined with her appetite and melancholy look at the table just now, and thinking about how she always hid the good things and went out to eat them by herself...

This is not the first time she has done such a thing.

Hua Xiao thought angrily, raised his hand to push her hand away, glared at her, and scolded her bluntly, "Selfish guy, bah, I really misjudged you."

Hua Xiao cursed, thinking about how she had secretly followed him before and watched him stealing chicken legs with his mouth full of grease. She swallowed and stared at the pockets on both sides of her to see if she had anything hidden.

Children's thinking is always full of strange ideas.

Hua Shi didn't quite understand why the little girl said that she was cheating, so she didn't respond. She turned and went into the room, packed up her things, and prepared to go out.

Hua Xiao didn't get the answer she wanted and was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

Hua Shi didn't know what she was thinking. He tidied up, woke up the black cat that was still sleeping on the bed, and went out with the black cat.

The small courtyard gate was wide open, and Hua Xiao stood in the middle of the gate, looking as angry as ever.

While Hua Li was teasing his brother, he looked up and saw the angry Hua Xiao. He asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Hua Xiao, what are you angry about?"

Hua Xiao's thoughts raced for a moment, and suddenly she looked at Hua Li with bright eyes. "How about we follow her out? She must be going out to eat something again. How about we go and take a look?"

"Who?" The little boy was a little confused.

"Oh, Hua Shi! I saw her carrying a basket out. There must be some cakes or chicken legs hidden in it..."

Hua Xiao pointed at the courtyard gate and said with a look of regret, with greed on his little face.

When Hua Li heard this, his gray eyes lit up, and when he heard about food, his stomach started to growl.

"Let's just follow and see..."

Hua Xiao thought about the red date cake that Li brought back a few days ago. She didn't see Li take it out to eat, so she must have secretly given it to Hua Shi.

Hua Shi was afraid they would snatch it away, so she secretly ran out to eat...

Hua Li blinked, nodded, and hesitated again, "But what about Xiaoying?"

"We've locked the gate and asked Xiaoying to stay in the yard. She'll be back soon. It's okay..."

The twins, a boy and a girl, chatted for a while, then quickly made up their minds and went out of the house with swift movements...
