"What's wrong?"
Qin Anming looked in the direction of her finger in confusion, "Oh~ Sunflowers, my favorite sunflowers. Although they look like dry grass now, they will magically grow again in spring."
After hearing this, Xiaoguo was shocked. Sunflower...
"Mom... like, sunflower?"
Xiaoguo said this absentmindedly, staring at the sunflowers beside the grave without blinking.
"Yes." Qin Anming felt a little strange when he heard her ask this. He knew best what kind of Xiaoguo his mother liked.
"......" Qin's mother also likes sunflowers, just like her mother. When she asked why, what did her mother say?
"You forgot, Mom said that sunflowers are a practical thing that can be appreciated and eaten, and roasting sunflower seeds is Dad's specialty, so Mom likes them so much."
Qin Anming saw Xiaoguo's confused look, so he explained to her.
Xiao Guo burst into tears immediately. The same reason...
"Xiaoguo? What's wrong?" Qin Anming was startled and hurriedly wiped her tears.
Xiaoguo shook her head, trying to control her guess. Her mother did like sunflowers because they were edible and beautiful, and her father was also the best at frying plain sunflower seeds. But what could that mean? It was just a coincidence...
"I'm fine."
Seeing Qin Anming still looking worried, Xiaoguo shook her head gently.
“By the way, did you grow this?”
The surroundings here are extremely desolate, except for this unique grass stem which is really eye-catching.
"No." Qin Anming shook his head. "It's strange to say, I came out on my own the year after my parents passed away."
Speaking of this, he still found it very strange. That time when he came to sweep the graves, he suddenly found sunflowers that had grown out of nowhere. And the magical thing was that after experiencing the winter, when spring came, the dead sunflowers came back to life.
However, he did not tell Xiaoguo about this. After all, this was a strange incident. If he told her, she would be scared. Besides, Zhuangzhuang was still there, so it was not easy to talk about these strange things.
Xiaoguo was stunned for a long time after hearing this. Qin's parents had passed away three years ago, and her father and mother had also passed away three years ago.
When she was in the end of the world, the second year after she had the ability to heal, she actually secretly went to the address given by the man who helped her bury her parents, and planted her mother's favorite sunflower next to the grave. She would also plant another one the following year...
Everything was too coincidental, so coincidental that she couldn't help but make random guesses and connections.
Qin Anming took out some paper money and lit it with a fire stick, muttering to himself. Xiaoguo lit the paper money mechanically, and Zhuangzhuang didn't even bother to introduce her to the Qin family's elders. Instead, Qin Anming took on this task.
It was not until the paper in his hand was burned out that Xiaoguo came to his senses when Qin Anming pulled him up.
"Let's go."
Xiaoguo nodded and followed behind him with a heavy heart. She turned her head and glanced silently at the bunch of sunflowers. Maybe it was just a coincidence.
For some reason, the appearance of the two elders of the Qin family was blurry in her mind at the moment, and she couldn't see their facial features at all. No matter how hard she searched in her memory, it was of no avail, and it only became more blurry.
I felt strange in my heart, but even when I first met Qin Anming and heard him talk about the two elders, I felt inexplicably heartbroken and sad, but the image in my mind was just vague.
Unable to make sense of the thoughts, Xiaoguo felt even more irritated. She was in a daze all the way and returned home unknowingly. When she came to her senses again, she found herself sitting on the bed in her room.
"well……"
Xiaoguo sighed, was she just being overly suspicious or...
"Mom, come here quickly, uncle is cooking in the kitchen!"
Xiao Guo was suddenly awakened by a loud and miserable roar and ran out immediately. What does burning the kitchen mean? !
As soon as I opened the kitchen curtain, my eyes were blinded by thick black smoke. I endured the discomfort and quickly opened the curtain and hung it up, then opened the window in the dark.
Xiaoguo stood in a ventilated place and breathed hard. After a long time, the scene in the kitchen gradually became clear.
I saw two people, one big and one small, standing in front of the stove with their heads down, as if they had done something wrong, with their hands clasped in front of them, looking as if they were too embarrassed to see Xiaoguo.
At this moment, black smoke was still billowing out of the pot. Xiaoguo walked to the pot silently, picked up the water scoop and poured it into the pot. The moment it came into contact with the high temperature, there was a sizzling sound, and a thicker white smoke came out, and then there was no smoke.
The crackling sound scared the two people who were standing with their heads down. They shuddered and raised their heads. Now Xiaoguo could see clearly why they were standing with their heads down.
The faces of the two, one big and one small, were covered in varying degrees of black and gray, making it almost unrecognizable.
"Are you playing with fire?"
Xiaoguo folded his arms and looked at the two people who retreated to the corner of the wall.
"no……"
"It's my uncle!"
Qin Anming was about to explain that this was not the case, but Zhuangzhuang got stronger faster.
The two spoke at the same time, and Zhuangzhuang quickly stood beside Xiaoguo, "I just told my uncle not to boil it, but he didn't listen and insisted on boiling it. He even asked me to light the fire, and in the end, it burned."
"You..." Qin Anming was furious and whispered in a low voice, "little traitor."
"What are you cooking?"
Xiaoguo took a look at the pot, which was full of black stuff. He couldn't tell what was in it. Besides, it was still too early for dinner.
"boil."
"Make the paste and paste the couplets!"
Qin Anming tried to answer quickly, but Zhuangzhuang still took the lead in the end.
Zhuangzhuang secretly gave Qin Anming a look and said, I'm sorry, uncle, but even a nephew has to protect himself. You know, what mother hates most is messing up the kitchen.
Qin Anming, who received the look, immediately wanted to defend himself, but Xiaoguo said in a cold voice, "You have to clean up as quickly as possible. I'm going back to my room to change clothes. If I come out later and the pot is not clean, I will use you two to make paste."
After saying this, Xiao Guo was still thinking that if Jiang Shanhe dared to burn down her kitchen, she would definitely strangle him to death. You know, the kitchen was her territory, and if someone set fire to her territory, how could she easily forgive him?
"!!!"
Both of them looked horrified, especially Zhuangzhuang. Wasn't his attitude of admitting his mistake just now so bad?
Xiaoguo snorted, crossed his arms and walked out. After he went out, he couldn't help sighing. He was so stunned for a while that he couldn't concentrate anymore.
She left, but Qin Anming and Zhuangzhuang who were left behind were in a miserable situation.
At this moment, Qin Anming no longer cared about cleaning up Zhuangzhuang. He never knew that his sister could be so cruel and wanted to make trouble for the two of them.
So the two of us cooperated well, you added water and I washed the pot, you put up the curtains and I closed the windows.
After a set of smooth movements, Xiaoguo came back as soon as he stopped.
As soon as they come in, they are strictly inspected, and they are touched while they are looking at it.
Qin Anming and Zhuangzhuang looked at each other and wiped the sweat from their foreheads.
Only after Xiaoguo said it was okay did they breathe a sigh of relief. They were really afraid of being boiled into paste and stuck to the wall.
After driving the two away, Xiaoguo lit the fire again and started to cook the porridge.
Qin Anming and Zhuangzhuang were waiting outside the gate holding couplets.
"You two should come back soon, it's already done!"
When Xiaoguo opened the curtain, she saw the two stupid people, and instantly all the blood in her body rushed to her brain.
The moment Qin Anming heard the roar, his legs went weak. After hearing it clearly, he hurriedly pulled Zhuangzhuang back into the house, fearing that if he was a step late he would be boiled into pulp and stuck to the wall.
After seeing the two of them go back to the house obediently, Xiao Guo felt relieved. He then went to the stove and added some firewood.
Thanks to the two of them, Xiaoguo temporarily put aside the problems in her heart.
