"Stepmother, go cook the fish."
"Where did it come from? You didn't catch it, did you?"
"Of course, it doesn't matter who I am."
Liao Dahai rarely showed a hint of childishness.
"Okay, do you want it steamed or braised?"
"Let's make fish soup. I heard fish soup is good for pregnant women."
"Dahai, I'm an adult, you don't have to take care of me first."
"I'm the older brother, I have to take care of my younger brother first. Go quickly, my younger brother said he's hungry."
This dinner was the most enjoyable meal Meihua had since she married into the Liao family.
Liao Guoming's matter finally came to an end, and Cheng Fangyi resumed his low-key life as a driver.
Occasionally I would take Su Qing and the kids to the town for a stroll, and life was so pleasant.
In comparison, Old Mrs. He's life was a bit chaotic.
"Why are you back again?"
Seeing He Aihua carrying her bag back to her parents' home again, Old Mrs. He looked distressed.
"Why, you don't welcome me? Don't worry, I brought rations this time."
Only then did Old Mrs. He breathe a sigh of relief.
"Mrs. Feng, I won't talk to you anymore. My daughter is back, so I'll leave first."
Old Mrs. He stood up and patted her pants.
"Hey, my daughter is too busy to chat as soon as she gets back. Okay, go ahead."
Looking at the looks of those old women looking at her from head to toe, He Aihua didn't want to stay any longer and walked towards the old Gu's house with her waist twisted.
When He Aihua returned, Gu Jinzhi was playing hopscotch with her friends.
Seeing this, He Aihua subconsciously took a few steps back.
"Ignorant bastard, I raised you from childhood, yet you don't even say hello to people when you see them. What are you looking at? Come in quickly."
Gu Jinzhi returned home reluctantly, and the remaining children also dispersed.
"Go, wash my clothes, and wash the sheets as well."
Gu Jinzhi looked at Old Mrs. He for help.
"Jinzhi, you are a big kid now, you should learn to help with housework.
Your parents were arrested and sent to be reformed. Your grandfather and I, at our old age, have to work in the fields to earn work points to support you. You should learn to be grateful, understand?"
Old Mrs. He completely grasped Gu Jinzhi's thoughts, and she could scare her into a daze with just a few words.
A little boy of over four years old was squatting on the ground, scrubbing clothes with his head down.
He Aihua sat aside and cracked melon seeds. "Wash it clean. Don't you see there are still some mud spots? I ate so much food for nothing."
At this time, Old Mrs. He came out of the house.
Gu Jinzhi looked up quickly when she heard the door open. Old Mrs. He was the one in the family who treated her very well.
"Jinzhi, wash yourself well, then you can eat."
The light in Gu Jinzhi's eyes suddenly dimmed.
He Aihua finally got married and can play with her friends again. Why does she have to go back to her parents' home every few days?
Looking at my hands that were frozen red in the water, tears flowed uncontrollably.
"Why are you crying? It's like our He family is bullying you. If you keep crying, I'll beat you up."
Gu Jinzhi quickly wiped away her tears with her sleeves.
He spread out the clothes and rubbed them vigorously.
After finally finishing washing the clothes, He Aihua still looked down on me and I only got half a vegetable steamed bun for lunch.
She chewed it in small bites for a long time and was reluctant to swallow it.
I looked at the three relatives in the room timidly, but my heart couldn't get close to them.
After eating and drinking her fill, He Aihua felt a little sleepy.
As soon as she came back, she was exhausted from watching Gu Jinzhi work.
She knew that a four-year-old kid couldn't do much, but she just couldn't bear to see Gu Jinzhi idle.
Even if there is no work, she will find some work for her to do.
After the adults left the table, Gu Jinzhi took the dishes and went to wash them.
Fortunately, the food was not very oily, so the dishes were clean after just rinsing them with water.
After packing up all this, Gu Jinzhi returned to her parents' room to rest.
When night comes, I still sleep alone.
The little boy, who was over four years old, curled up in bed with the quilt covering his eyes. As long as he didn't look at the darkness outside, he wouldn't feel scared.
I thought it was just a whim of He Aihua, but I didn't expect her to become more and more excessive. She locked people outside the door under the pretext of asking Gu Jinzhi to go to the field to call people for dinner.
Gu Jinzhi was at a loss, staring at the people passing by the old Gu family with her big eyes.
"Hey, isn't this the granddaughter of the old He family? What happened? Was she kicked out?"
"What's the He family? The He family's offspring, the Gu family's surname."
"I don't know if the old Gu family can come out."
"Who knows?"
Some naughty children circled around Gu Jinzhi and talked.
"Your father and mother are in jail."
"No one wants you anymore."
"Little cabbage is growing in the field, but no one loves it and no one cares about it."
Gu Jinzhi pursed her lips and tears streamed down her face.
Seeing this, several children were frightened and left one after another.
In this way, Gu Jinzhi was crying loudly at the door, and He Aihua was sleeping soundly in the house.
Some kind-hearted aunts even went to the fields to call Old Mrs. He.
"Your granddaughter is locked out. Why don't you go open the door quickly? What if she gets sunburned in such hot weather?"
Old Mrs. He held her straw hat, trying to cool down her hot body.
"My Aihua is here, but she won't call out for help."
The aunt who came to deliver the message was a little unhappy. It turned out that He Aihua was at home. She had almost shouted her throat out but she didn't respond at all. She was really amazing.
"If I call someone, I'll use it to find you."
"There are so many places in the village, you can go anywhere to play, why do you have to go back to the house? If you really have nothing to do, you might as well ask her to help me pick up rice ears."
