"That girl is a hardworking one." Grandma Mu said while picking vegetables.
"Life will naturally get better and better as long as there is hope." Liu Xue said casually.
Song Yuehua patted her head.
Liu Xue let out a dissatisfied roar, and everyone in the yard started laughing.
Dabao came over with Shitou and Xiaomian.
Bai Shu was playing with a few kids in the front yard.
The laughter of children, the chatting of adults, the faint fragrance of rice dumplings, and the green mugwort, the atmosphere of the Dragon Boat Festival envelops every household in the village.
After wrapping the rice dumplings, Song Yuehua and Dabao carried baskets and delivered the dumplings to several friendly families.
Lunch was prepared by Chef Song Yuehua, with the help of Liu Xue, Grandma Wang, Madam Xia, and Grandma Mu.
Master Yi took a few children to paint a pair of door gods and pasted them on the door.
Bai Shu also drew a picture in the same way. Master Yi took a look and sighed, "Just draw this one, don't waste any more ink and brush."
"Master..." Bai Shu was a little shocked.
After lunch, everyone went back home. Song Yuehua fetched some water and helped Dabao wipe his face. Then there was a knock on the door again.
The person who came was Jiang Mei.
"Is there anything wrong?" Song Yuehua asked.
Jiang Mei handed over the basket in her hand, but Song Yuehua didn't even look at it. She just said, "No need. Just talk about it."
"My mother-in-law is seriously ill and keeps repeating your name... Daya, do you want to go and see her?"
Jiang Mei's expression was somewhat unnatural.
Song Da and Song Er did not come, but instead sent a new daughter-in-law, saying that she wanted to see her.
Song Yuehua didn't believe that a dying person's words would be good, or that a bad person would become an evil ghost after death.
"Notify me when the banquet starts." Song Yuehua said calmly.
Looking at the closed door, Jiang Mei snorted and went back to tell Mrs. Song to give up, saying that she was still making trouble at such an old age.
Compound.
Not long after Liu Xue returned to the compound, Bai Shu came over with a basket of rice dumplings, "Sister, eat some rice dumplings."
"Where did you get this zongzi?"
It’s obvious that these are not made by the master. I don’t know where the whole basket of rice dumplings came from in the white book.
Bai Shu's expression was complicated. After struggling for a long time, he finally told her, "Huo Minggui asked me to deliver it."
"Why doesn't he send it himself..."
Halfway through her words, Liu Xue realized that she had said something wrong and covered her mouth with her hand.
"Sister!"
Bai Shu quickly ran up to her and asked, "You...you didn't meet in private, right?"
"No." Liu Xue turned her face away.
Ever since Huo Minggui read the storybook to Liu Xue and Liu Youfu last time, he has never come again.
Bai Shu was relieved. "He asked me to send you some rice dumplings. That's good. I'll write a painting in return."
Liu Xue, "..."
Although she was full, Liu Xue couldn't help but open a rice dumpling and eat it.
"Red bean filling," Liu Xue said as she put her arms on the table, "I still like to eat egg yolks. Even if it's sweet, it's better to cook it into red bean paste like the master does, right?"
White book, "..."
If my sister was still young, Bai Shu would definitely not say it, but my sister is old now, and no matter how reluctant I am, I still have to make some things clear to her.
There is another reason, which is because Bai Shu thinks Huo Minggui is a good person.
"Sister, red beans represent lovesickness..."
Bai Shu said, turned around and left.
"Little book!"
Hearing the voice, Bai Shu waved his hand without even turning his head, "I'm going back to do my homework."
It's not completely dark yet, and I always feel chilly when walking on the road.
After returning to school, Bai Shu couldn't concentrate on reading or sleeping. He always felt empty inside, so he simply closed the door and went to find Lan Yu.
Lan Yu's family had dinner early, so she had just enough time to go for a walk with him.
"Lan Yu, what do you think of Huo Minggui?" Bai Shu asked in a low voice, staring ahead.
"Huo Minggui?"
Lan Yu had only met him a few times, so how could he know if he was a good person? "He was a pretty complete person, with eyes, nose, and everything you need."
I don't know if Bai Shu listened to me, but he continued to ask, "If you have a daughter, would you marry that kind of person?"
Why are these questions getting more and more weird?
Lan Yu could only answer objectively, "I don't have a daughter yet. By the time I give birth to a daughter, Huo Minggui will be too old to be human."
"Not that old." Bai Shu came back to his senses.
"When my daughter grows up, he will be old."
"ah!"
When the two were arguing, they happened to meet Zhou Xiaohu who was returning home.
"Brother Xiaohu, why are you back so late?" Bai Shu greeted him.
Zhou Xiaohu smiled and said, "I spent the whole day wrapping zongzi yesterday. I thought it was enough, but early this morning they asked me to wrap more. It took me the whole day. It was endless."
"Brother Rushan and Tangyuan haven't come back yet?" Bai Shu asked.
Zhou Xiaohu said, "Rushan's situation is different from ours. His case is still being processed. Tangyuan and Xiaocui, the three of us came back together. They should have already returned home."
As he spoke, Zhou Xiaohu took out two zongzi from his backpack and gave them to the two of them, saying, "I still have quite a few left. You can have a taste too."
The two men did not hesitate to thank Zhou Xiaohu and accepted the money generously.
Song Yuehua also received the rice dumplings sent by Zhou Xiaohu.
"You just came back now. You didn't spend the whole day making rice dumplings, did you?" Song Yuehua asked.
Zhou Xiaohu chuckled twice, "Today is all thanks to Xiaoyu and Xiang Chen. I originally asked them to come over for lunch, but I didn't expect them to help me make zongzi in the yard the whole afternoon."
