Chapter 7 will explode! So scary!
Tai Jizu stood up and wanted to open the door, but Zhuzhu in his arms grabbed his collar tightly and refused to let go.
Yang Lihua called Tai Yongan to open the door, then said to her husband with a smile, "Zhuzhu has become so clingy. If she keeps clinging to you like this, you might not be able to leave in the future."
Tai Jizu patted his daughter with his rough big hands and smiled willingly.
"As for me, I'll be happy to stay at home and watch my daughter for the rest of my life."
Yang Lihua scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about? My daughter will get married when she grows up!"
Everyone was laughing. At this time, Tai Yongan led Tiedan and Tiedan's father to the door.
Tiedan's father carried a basket of firewood, which he chopped into pieces of uniform length and neatly.
His face no longer had the anxiety of last night, but was full of gratitude.
As soon as the father and son entered the house, they knelt down.
"Sixth Uncle, we're here to pay our respects to you for saving Tiedan'er's life last night."
Tiedan's father's eyes were red, and he forced his son to kowtow three times.
Old Master Tai quickly put the pipe under his left arm and helped the father and son up with his own hands.
"We are all of the same clan, so it's only natural for us to help each other. Why are you even kowtow to me? This is too unorthodox!"
Tiedan's father was not good at speaking. He pointed at the firewood outside the door and said embarrassedly, "Sixth Uncle, there is nothing at home, so I just chopped some firewood..."
"Okay, okay. It just so happens that we're short of firewood for cooking at home. You delivered it just in time." The old man pulled him to sit down and accepted the firewood happily without any look of disgust.
Tiedan's father was relieved and sat down on the bench.
Yang Lihua poured him a bowl of hot water and asked, "Tiedan looks a little wilted. Hasn't his fever gone away?"
Tiedan's father chopped firewood for the whole morning and his lips were so cold that they turned blue and purple. He felt much better after drinking a few sips of hot water.
He was about to respond when his stomach suddenly growled, causing him to quickly reach out to cover it.
Unfortunately, how can I cover up the noise...
Old Master Tai sighed and glanced at his eldest daughter-in-law.
Yang Lihua understood and quickly went to the kitchen to get two bran steamed buns and gave them to Tiedan's father.
Tiedan's father's face turned red with shame. He came to express his gratitude, but now he was begging and took advantage of the situation.
He wanted to refuse, but seeing his son staring at the steamed bread, he finally handed it to him.
Tiedan almost snatched the steamed bread and stuffed it into his mouth.
The steamed bread was so dry that it blocked his throat, so he pounded his chest with his fists.
Zhuzhu was playing with a bird's egg. She was so scared that her little hand loosened and the egg fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
Zhuzhu was very anxious and struggled to pick it up.
Yang Lihua quickly patted her daughter and whispered to comfort her, "Don't pick it up, Zhuzhu. You can't play with it if it's broken."
Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue felt sorry for the bird eggs and also glared at Tiedan.
Tiedan ignored it completely. After finishing his steamed bread, he rushed over again, grabbed the bird's egg, and stuffed it into his mouth with the shell...
Tiedan's father couldn't stop him and wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into!
Grandpa Tai couldn't bear to see him so embarrassed, so he sent his grandchildren away and said, "Take Tiedan to play in the yard for a while, don't interrupt the adults' conversation."
Children don't hide their illnesses. Tiedan, now full of food, perked up and started shouting, "I saw a squirrel on the old tree at the entrance of the village. There must be hazelnuts hidden in the tree hole. Let's go and dig them out!"
After saying that, he took the lead and ran away. Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue immediately forgot their anger and followed him quickly.
The room became quiet for a moment. Tiedan's father wanted to apologize, but Grandpa Tai waved his hand and talked about another matter.
"I saw your house last night and it's in such a mess. When spring comes and he's free, have Ji Zong go take a look and help you fix it up and put some new grass under it. Otherwise, if it rains in the summer, the house will definitely flood."
Tiedan'er's father was grateful and nodded heavily, "I'll listen to Uncle Six and go cut the grass in the spring."
After everyone chatted for a while, Tiedan's father said goodbye and went home.
After sending him out, the old man took his granddaughter, touched her fair and tender forehead, and was relieved when he found that she was not hot.
Zhuzhu was curious about her grandfather's brass pipe and reached out to touch it.
The old man hesitated for a moment, then used his pipe to tease his granddaughter, causing the fat girl to giggle while grabbing it.
Tai Jizong was sitting at the door weaving baskets, and he also made a katydid cage as big as a round date for his niece, which was very exquisite.
Liu Dongniang quietly went to the kitchen and took out another bird's egg to help put it in.
In this way, bird eggs no longer have to worry about being broken.
Zhuzhu held the cage and shook it from time to time, her big eyes full of joy and curiosity.
Yang Lihua took the opportunity to teach her daughter how to say thank you.
Zhuzhu was struggling hard against her disobedient little tongue when Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue came running back.
Tai Yonglu's cotton-padded jacket was open, and he was holding something in one corner, shouting, "Grandpa, we found pine nuts! Lots of pine nuts!"
Tai Yongyue also jumped up and down and shouted, "Roasted pine nuts, Grandpa, roasted pine nuts for us!"
The old man looked out and also smiled.
"Oh, this pine nut is quite big! Which squirrel is so unlucky that his home was robbed by you guys?"
Having said that, the old man still adjusted the brazier, put in a few pieces of red-hot wood, and covered it with a tile.
The tiles heated up quickly, and when the pine nuts were poured on them, the rich pine scent filled the room.
Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue squatted beside the brazier, their mouths watering with greed.
Zhuzhu struggled to get down and joined in the fun.
The little kid was still a little unsteady when squatting, but he was sandwiched between his brothers, looking at this and that, grinning happily with rows of bright white teeth.
Some pine nuts suddenly exploded when exposed to heat, making a crisp sound.
The little kid was so scared that he fell to the ground!
"mother!"
Zhuzhu's cry was particularly loud. She got up and stumbled over to hug her mother's thighs.
Yang Lihua felt both amused and distressed. She quickly protected her daughter, then took off her shoes and pretended to hit the brazier, cursing, "I'll beat you! I'll let you scare my daughter! I'll beat you to death!"
After the beating, she patted her daughter's head to comfort her, "Touch her fur, she's not scared! Touch her ears, she'll be scared for a while! My piggy is the bravest and not afraid of anything!"
Zhuzhu nestled in her mother's arms, like a frightened little animal, staring at the pine nuts on the tiles, her eyes full of confusion.
It looks delicious, but it's horrible!
It will explode!
The old man quickly cracked two ripe pine nuts with his pipe and put the pine nut kernels into his granddaughter's mouth.
Zhuzhu subconsciously opened her mouth to eat it. Her big eyes immediately lit up and her little mouth moved happily with gurgling sounds.
Smells so good!
Good times!
Everyone couldn't help laughing, and Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue were busy cracking pine nuts to feed their sister...
I don't know when the north wind stopped outside, and it started snowing at night, making the outside of the window look white.
When they got up early, Liu Dongniang cooked as usual, Yang Lihua lit the fire, and the men, young and old, carried big brooms to clean the yard inside and out, even sweeping all the way to the village entrance.
Not long after dinner, the gate was knocked again!
