Chapter 1198 Warm Spring(2/3)
Grandpa brought some small wild fruits to Xiaohua, and Xiaohua burst into tears and turned into a smile.
Baozhu naturally didn't believe in any folk remedies, but Xiaohua kept it in mind. She took a jar to catch grasshoppers every day after school.
Vanilla turned around and saw Xiaohua's toy windmill on the ground. She immediately took her anger out on the windmill and kicked it away: "Where did this broken windmill come from?"
Grandpa was very angry: "You didn't go home from school and went to catch grasshoppers? When did you learn to be so disobedient?"
Grandpa tried to talk a lot, but Xiaohua just said she wasn't hungry.
Xiaohua glanced at the bicycle and finally followed it.
Er Gouzi's father sent rice to his grandfather, saying it was the village's ration supply for him, and the fat aunt gave Xiaohua some old clothes.
Finally, grandpa got angry, so Xiaohua ate the chicken.
So the next morning, grandpa went out to cut willow branches. When Xiaohua saw the new windmill, she put on her new shoes excitedly and ran out to show her grandpa.
And when Baozhu asked him what his parents looked like, he always said, good-looking, good-looking.
Grandpa took Xiao Hua to catch ducks. In the field, Xiao Hua ran happily. Grandpa made her a certain flower crown with wild flowers. Xiao Hua happily put it on and ran and played with the windmill. Perhaps only when her grandma was there.
, she was so happy.
At this time, someone from the village came over. When he saw the old man, he smiled and said, "Dad Baozhu, your vanilla is good for Xiaohua. I just watched her take Xiaohua out to buy things."
After hearing this, Baozhu said impatiently: "Hey, you said you can't poop, do you blame the latrine?"
Although other families were unwilling to adopt Xiaohua, at least they sympathized with her and pitied her.
Vanilla doesn't know how to face Xiaohua.
When the old man heard this, he was not happy but became worried and asked where they were going.
After dinner, Grandpa and Xiaohua made baskets together. Grandpa praised her for being so smart and she could learn it as soon as she learned it.
"When did grandpa lie to you?"
The village woman looked at Xiaohua: "This child is really painful. Auntie, why is there no movement in Huahua's belly?"
The village chief's wife nodded: "Who says it's not the case?"
She got first place in every exam.
A group of adults and children in the village gathered outside their house to eat melon. When Baozhu's wife said this, they all burst into laughter.
"Is this why you came out to see grandpa?" Grandpa looked stunned.
It's just that it's all fantasy.
Vanilla immediately became happy and said, "Okay, Mom, maybe they want to hug one."
Xiaohua dragged her grandpa to the dinner table: "Grandpa, look, the chicken was sent by my uncle. It's delicious!"
He knew that his daughter-in-law had never liked Xiao Hua, and she didn't like him adopting Xiao Hua. How could he be so kind?
But compared to the past where she was beaten and scolded at every turn and not allowed to eat, things are much better here.
Everyone came out to look for her. Only when they saw grandpa did Xiaohua dare to come out.
Baozhu was picked up by his father in the wheat straw field. Because of him, the old man never married a wife in his life.
During the day, Xiaohua was sweeping the floor in the yard. Vanilla pulled Xiaohua out and asked her to accompany him to buy something.
But grandpa was not found.
Baozhu said: "Then why don't you tell me how much work they have done for you?"
She ran home excitedly, but grandpa hadn't come back yet. It was thundering and raining. Xiaohua was afraid that grandpa would get caught in the rain, so she ran out to look for grandpa with a plastic bag as a raincoat.
The biggest difference from "Into the Dust" is that in "Warm Spring", there is human touch everywhere.
Xiaohua at home made potato paste and ran to the yard to play. When she saw the hen running out of the nest, she went up and touched it and found two eggs. She curiously held the eggs and looked at the sun, but she saw
Here comes the vanilla.
With that said, he went to catch the ducks again.
"Why are you turning your elbows outward?" Vanilla suddenly said dissatisfied.
Vanilla Lady is here, and she is here just to care about Xiao Hua.
Suddenly Baozhu felt embarrassed: "Have you finished talking? Come in quickly!"
After returning home, Vanilla Girl came, but Xiaohua remembered that it was Vanilla Girl who wanted to send her away last time, so she was so scared that she ran out.
Seeing the chicken, Xiaohua reached out and dipped it in, put it in her mouth and licked it, then took the bowls and chopsticks and put them on the table.
He also asked Xiaohua if she hated her aunt. Xiaohua shook her head, but she was concerned about why her aunt couldn't have children.
But Ergou said: "Zai, Zai is also my own, and he is better than others!"
She picked the biggest piece and gave it to Grandpa, but Grandpa refused to eat it and said that he had eaten everything. Xiaohua didn't believe it.
Vanilla planned to send Xiao Hua away, but she showed a rare smile and asked in a good-natured voice: "Xiao Hua, have you ever ridden a bicycle? Do you want to sit on it? My aunt will take you to ride on it today, okay? That bicycle is very fast."
"
"Why don't you go home?"
On the other side, Xiaohua was afraid of being sent back and did not dare to eat.
The secret that had been sealed for many years was revealed. Baozhu and Vanilla knelt on the ground, their hearts filled with guilt.
Although Vanilla doesn't like Xiaohua in every way, the most she can do is step on her windmill. She usually scolds her, but she has never shortchanged her.
"The old shoes can still be worn. When they can no longer be worn, they can be replaced with new ones." Xiaohua said.
I didn't dare to go back at night.
This strengthened Grandpa's determination to let Xiaohua go to school.
Grandpa saw Xiaohua still wearing the old shoes and asked doubtfully: "Hua'er, why don't you wear the new shoes grandpa bought for you?"
Vanilla was immediately happy and said that she must be sent away this time.
But the grandfather sighed and said: "The baby is scared and won't come back no matter what. Since he is an orphan, just follow the baby's wishes."
"Grandpa wants me. Grandpa said he wanted me."
"Grandpa, I must study hard!"
In the days that followed, the grandfather and grandson went to cut wicker and make baskets every day. Xiaohua also made pastry cakes. She thought she made the best today and wanted to send two to her uncle and aunt.
Everyone also got to know Xiaohua. Xiaohua was chasing ducks barefoot. The village chief’s wife and a village woman saw them and asked curiously: "Why is Xiaohua barefoot? Didn’t your grandfather buy you new shoes? What?"
Why don’t you wear it?”
As a result, Vanilla brought her to Erdan's house and wanted to give Xiaohua to them to raise.
Xiaohua cherishes all this.
"Go to school? Grandpa, are you telling the truth?" Xiaohua looked shocked.
Back in the village, the village was not big, and the whole village knew about the old man’s adoption of Xiao Hua.
The old man quickly chased in that direction.
Xiaohua picked the smallest one.
She went to Erdan's house in Houcun and told them that if they wanted it, she asked them to send it over.
He was immediately taken care of by his wife.
Suddenly she heard her mother say: "Hey, the daughter-in-law of the Erdan family in Houcun has not given birth to a child for so many years. How about I ask my mother about it?"
Xiaohua just lowered her head and looked at her feet and said, "Those are new shoes that grandpa bought. I don't want to wear them."
Ergou's family has three sons, but they are all naughty and mischievous, which makes her daughter-in-law lament that three bastards are not as sensible as one little flower.
Baozhu's father came out and sighed when he saw this scene.
Xiaohua quickly begged: "Auntie, I won't go home. Please don't send me away. I have to wait for grandpa to come back. Grandpa can't find me when he comes back!"
Baozhu said impatiently: "Okay, we can't kill two chickens all year round, so don't go too far."
The village chief sighed and said: "Otherwise, I will ask everyone to bring Xiaohua back tomorrow!"
"No matter what, he is still my father."
While pulling, time was wasted. Grandpa came, but Xiaohua was not sent home.
She thought they were going to give her away again.
Xiaohua came back with a wicker stick and saw Vanilla combing her hair in the yard. She was crazy for a while, dreaming that one day, her aunt could comb her hair.
Xiaohua put all the grasshoppers she caught into a jar and gave them to Vanilla.
Several children came back from school and passed by. When they saw Xiaohua wearing grandpa's clothes, they made fun of her, looking like a little old man.
Seeing Xiao Hua's pity, the shoe vendor called Grandpa back and sold him a pair of shoes at a low price.
"Uncle really talked to me, and he even smiled at me."
"Then you can't stay at our house forever, right?"
