The gold locket was originally left by Guo Youxing's uncle, who said he would give it to his brothers after they got married. However, Mrs. Guo gave it to her second son and didn't give it to anyone else. Regardless of its value, it was something left by her uncle and had a different meaning.
"Just take what's for Haohao!" In fact, Guo Youxing was resentful. His parents always favored his second brother. When he was a child, he grew up following his uncle, so the things left by his uncle meant a lot to him.
It was not until he became a parent that he realized that all ten fingers are of different lengths, not to mention that human hearts are biased and only those with sweet words are likable.
So when he saw the golden lock, he felt very complicated. Now the golden lock was back in his hands. After all, if it was in his hands, it would be difficult to give it to his son. It would be better for the old lady to give it directly to the great-grandson.
"Okay, I'll give it to Haohao to keep first." Deng Qingling put it back into her pocket after hearing it.
Liang Xueying cleared the dishes and went to wash them, while Guo Youxing sat in the yard to smoke.
Deng Qingling took Haohao back to the room, closed the door, and carried Haohao into the space.
I put Haohao on the ground to sit, and put Haohao's little gold lock into the small wooden box on the top floor. Just as I put today's gold under the bed, I heard a cute voice.
"numb"
Deng Qingling was stunned. She turned around and saw Haohao sitting there sucking his fingers, as if the word "Mom" just now was her illusion.
She walked over to Haohao and squatted down, feeling a little expectant. "Haohao, did you call me mom just now? Call me again?"
Haohao raised his head and looked at her, and called out again: "Mom! Hug me!"
After saying that, he stretched out his arms, wanting his mother to hug him.
Deng Qingling's heart softened after hearing this, her eyes became moist, and she hugged Haohao and kissed him on the little face.
"Haohao is awesome! He can even call me mommy now."
I always thought Haohao was a slow talker and he would never call mom and dad no matter how I taught him.
Maybe Haohao was tired from playing, so he fell asleep in his mother's arms after a while. Deng Qingling gently patted the dust off Haohao's body, slipped out of the space, carefully put him on the bed, and lay down beside him to take a nap.
I slept until evening.
Deng Qingling carried Haohao out of the yard and happened to see Liang Xueying feeding chickens.
"Mom, have you finished feeding the chickens? Take Haohao with you after you're done. I need to kill the fish."
"Okay." Liang Xueying clapped her hands, scooped some water to wash her hands, and then hugged Haohao.
"Mom, I'm back."
Guo Jianping walked for about an hour from the town before arriving home. He stood at the gate with his luggage and called out into the yard.
Liang Xueying was holding Haohao and turned around when she heard the voice. She saw her eldest son and said with a smile, "Haohao, your father is back."
Guo Jianping saw his mother holding his son, but his wife was nowhere to be found.
"Haohao, where's your mother? Mom, where did Aqing go?"
"Aqing is killing fish in the kitchen." After Liang Xueying said this, she carried Haohao out and did not disturb the young people's conversation.
After hearing this, Guo Jianping put his luggage back into the house and went to the kitchen to help. He saw Deng Qingling killing the fish skillfully.
"daughter in law."
Hearing the familiar voice, Deng Qingling looked up and saw the person she hadn't seen for a long time. She was very happy and asked, "Why are you back?"
Guo Jianping smiled and said, "I haven't been home for a long time, so I came back to see you."
When Deng Qingling heard him say that, she wanted to say that she missed him too, but the words changed when they came to her lips, "I'm glad you're back." After saying that, she lowered her head and opened the belly of the fish.
"How about I kill the fish instead?" Guo Jianping asked.
"No, it will be done soon, don't get your hands dirty." Deng Qingling said as she scooped water to clean the fish's belly.
"Is there anything I can help you with?" Guo Jianping asked again.
"Then you wash the pot and cook!" Deng Qingling said, without stopping her hands. After cleaning the fish, she cut the pork and chopped the potatoes.
"good."
After Guo Jianping set up the pot, he put the fish on the rice and steamed it. When the rice was cooked, the fish was also cooked.
It is said that work is not tiring when men and women work together. The meal was ready while the two were chatting and laughing.
"I don't know if my uncle's family has had dinner yet. Jianping, bring a dish over to my uncle's house." Deng Qingling served a plate of stewed potatoes and pork.
Although it looks like a lot, it is mostly potatoes with a small amount of pork. It may not be enough for four people, but at least they can taste the meat.
When Guo Jianping delivered it, Uncle Guo's family was having dinner. There were two dishes on the table, a plate of sweet potato leaves and a plate of steamed eggs. The plate of pork stewed with potatoes was just the right amount to add to the meal.
"These potatoes are so delicious, stewed so soft. Ah Qing's cooking skills are amazing, everything she cooks is so delicious. No wonder her elder brother is a chef in a state-owned restaurant, he has to have some skills to do it." Uncle Guo said.
Others agreed with him.
The old lady of the Guo family smiled but said nothing, and agreed with him.
Speaking of the two granddaughters-in-law, Aqing is the most filial. She brings Haohao to chat with her from time to time and often sends her some food. I only met the other granddaughter-in-law when she got married. I guess she doesn't even know which way the door of her uncle's house faces.
Forget it, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. They just need to live their own lives well. I don’t expect them to remember me, an old woman.
Guo Jianping went home immediately after delivering the food.
"You're still waiting for me! Why don't you eat first? You can eat while waiting." Guo Jianping saw that the food was ready, but he didn't even pick up his chopsticks, so he spoke.
"It's not a big deal to wait for you for a while. Go wash your hands first!" Liang Xueying said.
As soon as Guo Jianping sat down, he started to eat. When he was almost done, he realized that he hadn't seen his son!
"Where's Haohao? Did he go to bed without having dinner?"
Deng Qingling rolled her eyes at him, only now remembering her son. The juice in the vegetables was almost gone, what the hell was there to eat?
"Haohao ate some rice and fish belly and then went to sleep." Liang Xue said.
"Just eat it." Guo Jianping looked at his wife with a guilty look.
