Su Qinghu ignored this and smiled as he sent him to call Dadan and Erdan to get up and eat.
After dinner, Chen Xian went out and got a tricycle full of coal briquettes to take home. Dadan and Erdan followed him happily and helped him load and unload the briquettes until they were all placed against the wall in the corridor before they went to wash their hands.
"What is she doing?"
"Ah?" Dadan and Erdan were rubbing their hands with soap. When they heard Chen Lie's question, they stopped rubbing their hands and looked at him together.
Dadan pursed his lips and said nothing. It was Erdan who blinked his eyelashes and said, "Dad? Are you asking about Ms. Su Qinghu?"
"What Ms. Su Qinghu?" Chen Lie's eyebrows were furrowed. What kind of name is that?
Erdan quickly changed his tone, "Dad, are you asking about my mom?"
You can call it whatever you want, it won’t cost you anything.
"She's writing something in the room!" Erdan replied. "She's been writing or drawing there ever since you left after dinner. Anyway, I don't understand!"
Dadan glanced at Erdan and said, "He's drawing a blueprint."
"Huh?" Erdan turned to Dadan, "How did you know?"
Dadan was silent for a moment. So can a person's memory become better or worse in real time?
"Brother?" Erdan said cautiously, "Brother, don't scare me. If you do that, I usually get beaten..."
Dadan, "Didn't we bring back all the pomegranate flowers you picked yesterday?"
This happened before I took a shower last night. I brought it back and hung it in the tool shed to dry.
It would have been fine if the pomegranate flowers hadn't been mentioned. As soon as he did, Erdan visibly flinched. He furtively went to look at the display, and seeing that he looked fine, he nodded gently, "Well, what then?"
"She probably wants to make a flower basket to sell." Dadan glanced at Chen Lie's reaction. After being caught red-handed, he spoke a little faster. "Don't that girl's father and grandfather both do handicrafts? Mom said to let them make baskets to pay for it. I'm going to give them the blueprints today."
So, we must be drawing the blueprints now.
It's all up to them today.
Chen Lie listened to the two children talking without interrupting them. He could discover many details here that Su Qinghu had never told him.
Seeing that Chen Lie didn't say anything, the two children gradually lowered their voices, and in the end they simply stopped talking and just looked at Chen Lie.
Dadan was already worried, fearing that Su Qinghu would seduce Chen Lie and elope with someone else. Now when he heard him say that he wanted to go and see what Su Qinghu was doing, the little boy's face suddenly turned bitter.
Erdan and Dadan stood side by side, watching the display for less than two minutes, their eyes filled with confusion.
Aren’t you going to see someone?
Why did you come back as soon as you reached the door?
Before I could figure it out, a car horn sounded at the door.
Didi——
"You two stay at home. I'm going back to your grandparents." Chen Lie strode over and walked out the door after giving them the instructions.
Dadan and Erdan watched him go out until they could no longer see him, then they both looked away and looked at each other.
Dadan knew what was going on, so he kept quiet. Erdan scratched his head, "Why does it feel like Dad is acting strangely?"
Dadan pursed his lips tightly, picking at the seam of his pants with his fingers, as if he was lost in thought, and had no intention of paying any attention to Erdan.
Erdan didn't care. He patted his butt, stood on tiptoe, and went straight to find his new mother.
Su Qinghu was carefully drawing the shape of a flower basket and marking its dimensions when he felt something approaching from behind. Reflexively, he pointed the tip of his pen outward and turned around to take a defensive stance.
Erdan was frightened by her momentum and posture when she suddenly turned back, and immediately let out a heart-wrenching scream.
Su Qinghu: "..."
Su Qinghu was frightened, not because there was someone behind him, but because of Erdan's exaggerated reaction and scream. He was about to scream "Ahhhhhhhhh", but because Erdan's scream was too miserable, he held it back.
She watched Erdan scream, and from the initial feeling of being suffocated to helplessness, and then from helplessness to finding it funny, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"What do you want to do here?" Su Qinghu asked, with a smile in his eyes.
Erdan clutched his chest and said, "I...I can't remember what I was going to do. I was so scared that I forgot."
Su Qinghu: “…”
What's wrong with this?
Erdan's eyes rolled around, "When others are frightened, their parents will call their souls back for three days straight..."
"..." Su Qinghu suddenly got goosebumps. Although she wasn't afraid of these things, she was still worried after hearing them so suddenly, especially since it was almost noon. "We grew up under the national flag, we have culture and ideals. We shouldn't be obsessed with feudal superstitions."
Erdan: “…”
Seeing his brother being rejected, Dadan bravely stood up and said, "If you are really scared, I will help you call back the soul!"
He hadn't actually done it, but he had seen others do it. Wasn't it just three days straight of noon, when the sun was at its hottest, shouting the frightened child's name repeatedly in the same spot, and then... walking forward without looking back?
Simple.
"I don't want anyone!" Erdan stomped his feet, picked up his belt, and ran away angrily.
Dadan opened his mouth slightly, surprised by Erdan's temper, and felt a little dazed.
Su Qinghu patted his head and stroked it at the end, "Can't you see that your brother is acting like a spoiled child?"
What?
behave in a spoiled manner?
Erdan knows how to act like a spoiled child?
Dadan widened his eyes and suspected that his ears were broken.
The little boy suddenly looked more childish and silly because of this expression.
"After he acted like a spoiled child, he became a little shy." Su Qinghu laughed gleefully, "Now that you mention it, he didn't achieve his goal and is ashamed of his behavior. It would be strange if he didn't run away."
Dadan: “…” So that’s how it is?
Seeing that he still couldn't believe it, Su Qinghu reminded him, "Think about how you call out to the soul."
Big Egg: “???”
Is this even worth thinking about? Don't parents usually just stand there, holding their child's hand, mumbling something, touching their forehead, and calling their name to ask them to come back?
So what's there to be ashamed of? Just touching foreheads, holding hands?
Su Qinghu saw his expression and knew that he didn't understand, so she shook her head and said, "Let me do it."
Dadan didn't argue about calling Erdan's soul back, but he just stayed by her side and kept looking at her, which meant that he would follow her until she explained everything to him.
Su Qinghu sat down and continued painting, and Dadan stood beside her.
Since he didn't say anything, it didn't have any impact. Su Qinghu was busy with his own business and asked someone to sharpen his pencil.
She peeled a big egg for her and asked her to do whatever she was asked to do. After Su Qinghu finished painting, she still followed behind him like a little tail.
Su Qinghu was drawing and explaining his doubts to him: "Your brother, who usually seems to be laughing and not taking anything to heart, also has things he wants. He longs for the closeness from the elders."
Dadan was obviously choked by these words, and looked at Su Qinghu's beautiful profile in surprise.
Erdan likes to be held hands and touched on the forehead? ! !
