"I know, I know." He Aihua said a few perfunctorily and went back to the room. She played with the bracelet on her hand and lay on the bed waiting for dinner.
"I'm an experienced person. I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice. You can't go wrong if you listen to me. How can I harm you?"
Old Mrs. He didn't know whether her daughter had heard it or not, so she went into the kitchen carrying the things for returning home.
It can be seen that He Aihua's in-laws still value her very much.
Two pounds of brown sugar and half a pound of pork.
It is considered the best return gift nowadays.
"Jinzhi, where have you been? Come and light the fire."
At this time, Gu Jinzhi was squatting at the foot of the wall digging a hole alone.
This wall is shared with the neighboring house, so it is made of adobe.
After years of baptism, there are many cracks in the walls.
These cracks in the walls become winter shelters for creatures such as toads.
Gu Jinzhi wanted to try her luck and dug it up to take a look.
Because He Zhong said that after the toad's skin is peeled off and roasted, it tastes delicious.
She hadn't eaten meat for half a year and was very greedy. Sometimes she even bit herself when she was so hungry.
Hearing Old Lady He's screams, Gu Jinzhi was so scared that she fell backwards, and a layer of yellow mud covered her face, hands, and cotton jacket.
"Here comes the milk."
I saw her rubbing the mud on her hands onto the wall.
When Old Mrs. He saw her, her face became gloomy.
After a while, the sound of Old Mrs. He cursing was heard from the old Gu family again, and people passing by were no longer surprised.
"You damned child, where have you been playing again? You've made such a mess, how can you wash it off? You've been looking for trouble for me all day. You're already so old, can't you understand a little bit?"
Gu Jinzhi lowered her head and silently stuffed the broken branches into the stove.
She didn't go wild.
Old Mrs. He restrained her and wouldn't let her go out to play, saying that if she moved too much she would get hungry quickly and it would waste the family's food.
Every time after playing for a while, Old Lady He would go looking for people with a stick, scaring the children in the village so much that they dared not come to her.
She doesn't even go out, but still gets scolded by Old Mrs. He.
Soon her attention was attracted by the meat sizzling in the pot, and she completely forgot about looking for the toad.
"What are you looking at? You're a reincarnated ghost! This is a gift from my daughter and son-in-law. You don't get any."
Old Mrs. He closed the lid, blocking Gu Jinzhi's view.
Gu Jinzhi wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth and added some firewood to the stove.
While eating, Gu Jinzhi's eyes never left the plate of meat. Old Mrs. He couldn't bear it and picked up a piece of meat with her chopsticks and gave it to her.
"Hey, eat your food. Don't stare at the food on the plate. It's not nice of you."
Gu Jinzhi knew when to stop and ate most of the bowl of sweet potato rice with a piece of fat meat.
On the other side, Su Qing met Su's mother halfway.
"Xiaoqing, why are you back so soon? I said I would pick you up at the village entrance."
Su Qing laughed. Who is Su's mother? Her real mother!
Su Qing knew what Mother Su was going to do from the look she gave her. It looked like she was just there to pick her up, but to watch the fun.
"I miss my children and want to go back early."
Mother Su was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said, "Then you should go back first. Your aunt Xiulan said she wants to see me for something. I'll go and see her. It would be bad if it's something urgent."
Without waiting for Su Qing to answer, Su's mother walked in the opposite direction.
Looking at Su's mother's abnormal behavior, Su Qing felt even more uneasy.
It was not until Su Qing returned home that he found out why Su's mother and Su Che were avoiding each other.
Who can tell her who these kids with crew cuts are?
"mother."
Daya shouted embarrassedly, then quickly covered her head.
Then one, two, three, four men with crew cuts jumped out from behind her.
Si Ya rubbed her short hair and ran towards Su Qing.
Su Qing held Si Ya's forehead against hers, and even though she was flapping her short legs and broken arms, she couldn't touch Su Qing at all.
"Tell me what happened, and confess it yourself."
Several children were pushing each other, "Rock, paper, scissors. Whoever loses gets to speak."
"Rock, paper, scissors."
Erya looked at the scissors she had chosen and the rock the other four had chosen, and stood in front of Su Qing with the look of a warrior ready to die.
"Mom, listen to my excuses. Bah, listen to my explanation. We actually wanted to cut it to the shoulders." Erya gestured on herself.
"Then I accidentally cut it, and it turned into this horrible look. But it's okay, right? I can wash my hair less often, and the water I save can be used for a few more days. How great." Erya said with a grin.
Su Qing is not stupid. She had already noticed the little actions of Cheng Fangyi and Erya.
Maybe Cheng Fangyi came up with this excuse.
"I want to hear the truth. I can promise not to be angry, but I want to know the truth."
Erya tilted her head, wanting Cheng Fangyi to continue giving her advice.
"You see, your father is useless."
Erya curled her lips in resignation and said, "There's someone in town who collects hair, so we can go and sell it."
The short hair and the gray cotton coats made the children look like nuns.
She is a nun with red lips and white teeth.
"When did Sanya and Siya go to town? Don't tell me they went there on their own."
There are a lot of gangsters on the streets now. What if such cute little kids like San Ya and Si Ya are targeted by someone?
"It's my fault." Wen Li stood up and admitted her mistake.
"It was the children's holiday, so my mother and I decided to hire a donkey cart to pick them up, so we took Sanya and Siya with us. But who knew that by the time we got to the supply and marketing cooperative, they'd already lost all their hair."
Wen Li stood aside with an apologetic look on her face, "Little sister, I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of the children, and let the children..."
