Smell a sweet smell...
Hua Shi replied, "Porridge made with hawthorn."
Hua Li became even more curious: "Hawthorn porridge? Is it sweet? Or sour?"
He remembered the hawthorn cake Hua Shi had made a few days ago. It was sour and sweet, and very delicious...
Hua Shi: "You'll know after you try it."
After just a few steps, Hua Li asked persistently: "Why can't you tell me now? Uh... I think it tastes more sour... Because I smell sour."
Flower Time: ...
In the main room, Hua Xiao, who had just wiped the wooden table, heard Hua Li nagging at Hua Shi. She said casually, "You're the one who talks too much. I never listen to what you say when you open your mouth."
Hua Li curled her lips, a little unhappy, "How can I be talkative? I don't even talk as much as you."
The two of them started arguing again, each speaking a word.
Hua Shi listened to their little quarrels without interrupting them.
In fact, whether it was Hua Xiao or Hua Li, the two of them had been talking a lot more in the past two or three days, and the frequency of their bickering was also increasing...
Especially Hua Li, once he gets close to her, he likes to talk endlessly.
Although it's not a bad thing, sometimes I get a headache when he asks me questions.
It was almost time for dinner, and Hua Shi looked around but didn't see Hua Yu.
Hua Shi looked at the open, empty room, looked at the two of them and asked, "Where's your second brother? He's not in the room again?"
Hua Xiao and Hua Li both paused, and they both turned to look at Hua Shi, blinking their dazed eyes.
Hua Xiao was the first to react and said, "It seems that my second brother went out very early this morning and hasn't come back yet."
Pursed lips when spending time.
Going out again?
The one who gives Hua Shi the most headaches is his oldest brother, Hua Yu.
She could clearly sense that, with the exception of Hua Yu, the other three siblings had changed their attitudes towards her. Their previous feelings of rejection and hatred gradually faded, and they seemed to have accepted her...
The only... Hua Yu, still doing his own thing, without any change at all, looked at her with dark eyes, containing an indescribable coldness.
She could also clearly feel that Hua Yu's hatred for her was not so easy to diminish. Whether in terms of mental age or deep in his heart, he had basically developed his own personality.
The younger ones could still bend and twist, and even manage to control it with both hard and soft tactics. But Hua Yu was completely independent, keeping to himself, and seemed to be hiding something, unwilling to interact with Hua Shi...
He was not like Hua Xiaohua, who thought that if he stayed away from them, treated them well, gave them delicious food, and kept them from starving or freezing, they would change their minds.
Hua Yu... I don't know if it's because of the long-term oppression from the Li family. Although it's not obvious on his face, if he wants Hua Yu to get close to her and get along with her, he's afraid it will take some effort...
Hua Li, who was standing by, was silent for a long time when he saw Hua Shi. He turned around and looked at the courtyard where snow was still falling. Suddenly, he said, "Second brother might have gone fishing. I saw him with a fishing rod and a bamboo basket."
Whenever he went fishing with his second brother, his second brother would always bring these two things...
Hua Shi came back to his senses and looked at Hua Li.
Hua Li added: "I'll go find my second brother. I should know where he is. I've been there with him a few times before."
Hua Shi waved his hand: "Forget it, drink the porridge first, it won't be too late to look for it later."
She saw that it was still early and it wouldn't be too late to go after drinking the porridge.
The four of them sat facing each other around the wooden table.
Perhaps because his second brother had just been mentioned, Hua Xiao seemed a little silent, and his expression became noticeably depressed.
Although Hua Li's expression did not change, he was hiding some hidden thoughts, and his attention was a little distracted.
Only the youngest Huaying was not affected at all. She picked up the hot hawthorn sweet porridge and started to drink it with slurps. It didn't seem too hot and she ate it with relish.
During lunch time, before they had finished their hawthorn sweet porridge, the courtyard door was suddenly pushed open with a force that was neither light nor heavy, just enough for Hua Shi and the others to hear and look over.
A young man with thin clothes and messy long black hair, whose lips were frozen white, walked in from outside the door frame, holding a fishing rod and a bamboo basket in one hand.
He raised his eyes slightly, and his dark pupils looked towards the main hall opposite him without any emotion.
It was obvious that he saw four people sitting around and drinking porridge.
"Second brother?!"
Hua Xiao shouted and then stood up.
Hua Yu turned around, raised his frozen purple hand, pushed open the gate behind him, and closed it again.
Hua Li also turned his head to look at his second brother, a smile on his face. He shouted cheerfully, "Second brother, you're back just in time. We're drinking hawthorn porridge, it's sweet! Come over soon!"
Hua Li looked rather heartless, not realizing anything was wrong...
Hua Yu walked in slowly and said in a calm voice, "Grandma is back. She should be halfway to the village by now."
His voice was so calm that it took Hua Shi half a second to realize what he was saying...
Hua Li exploded and stood up suddenly. The sweet hawthorn porridge in his mouth suddenly became bland and tasteless. He exclaimed, "What?!"
Hua Shi said hurriedly, "Quickly pack up all the things here and hide them in the house. I'll go put away the things in the kitchen first."
Hua Xiao nodded, quickly picked up his bowl and Hua Shi's bowl, and walked towards the house.
Hua Li followed suit, picked up his own bowl, and then reached out to pick up Xiao Huaying's bowl.
Xiao Huaying was burying her face, holding the bowl, slurping the fragrant hawthorn sweet porridge. She was still immersed in her own world and didn't react before Hua Li took the bowl away from her hand.
He looked up in confusion, and saw Hua Xiao coming out again, dragging him, who was a little slow to react, into the house...
Hua Shi quickly moved all the things in the small kitchen back to his house.
Fortunately, she had always been cautious. Although she moved the food to the small kitchen to cook, she did not put too many things in it. Otherwise, it would be hard to say what would happen now, and it would take a while to clean up.
Hua Yu did not lie as several people were cleaning up the traces in the house in a messy manner.
After a while, I could hear the rustling of wheels on the snow from outside the low wall. The sound was clear and audible...
